Eric I should let him go so that I could shoot the man on the container and then kill him. So I roughly let go of Angelo, and I watched him as he stumbled back. He rubbed his neck and a hideous smirk played on his lips. "It's an eye for an eye, Connall," he simply said.Before I could shoot him, snipers shot at the ground near my feet. I quickly stepped back and watched as Cara and Gabriel began to shoot at them. Angelo took this as his opportunity to run off while I was distracted. I pulled out my gun and pointed it at him. "Goodbye, Connall," he called out, looking back at me with a shit eating grin. He pointed at the container, but I shot at him. I couldn't tell if I hit him because, at that particular moment, more men began firing at me.Before I could run to find Angelo, to kill that fucker once and for all, I was stopped by Gabriel. He called out Sienna's name over the noise of shooting. I turned to see the man on top of the container. He was still standing behind Sienna, b
EricAfter I had some lunch in the kitchen, I walked back upstairs. Gabriel had practically shoved me out of my room and made me eat downstairs. He had to leave and rejoin Cara and I understood why, but he was still with me up until now because I was a mess. He didn't like seeing me in a state. I was also incredibly irritable due to lack of sleep, and I knew that the exhaustion would soon take over, but I would have rather stayed with her.I rubbed the sleep away from my eyes as I walked into our bedroom. I felt the warmth embrace me, as the lights were dimmed. The bed was made with the finest silk and no one was to disturb her. Sienna was lying on the bed, and her body was tucked in. Her eyes were closed, and I had not seen her open them since that night. I missed those eyes of hers. She was here but not here at the same time. I missed her so much. I was waiting for her to wake up. She truly did look like a sleeping angel. I was sure she would slap me for calling her that. Either w
Eric I comforted Sienna and climbed onto the bed beside her. "The baby is okay. Everything is fine. Now, calm down," I whispered soothingly into her ear as I pulled her down and into me. I heard her sniffle as she relaxed into me, laying her hand across my chest. "I don't know what I would have done if it wasn't okay, Eric. I really don't know. Because of all the things he did to me, I was hoping that our baby would be okay. I was so scared. I was scared that I was going to lose you and the baby," she said softly. I stroked her head gently as we lay there in silence. I wouldn't have known what I would have done either. She and the baby meant everything to me. They were my family."You are never going to lose me. And our baby too. He or she is strong just like you," I reassured, yawning as I closed my eyes. She hummed and rubbed my chest slowly. "Sleep, Eric. I am right here," she whispered. I felt my eyes drooping and I let them. She was awake and was perfectly safe.***When I w
Eric "What's going on?" Sean asked again. He was clearly getting impatient.Sienna laughed, throwing her head back. It was a peal of real laughter, and I had missed hearing it. I grinned and waited until she stopped. Then she urged me to tell him. "You are going to be an uncle," I told him. For a moment he looked dazed and confused like a lost little dog. His brows crinkled up, and his mouth hung open. "Fuck! And I am the last person to know! I always am. Congratulations, Sienna," he half shouted.He got up and hugged Sienna, and she hugged him back, but she was careful about her arm."Congratulations, brother," he said, smiling at me. I smiled back at him and hugged my little brother. When he sat down, I could see that he was still in shockBut then Sienna frowned. "What is it now?" I asked her. It pained greatly me to see her beautiful face turned up in a frown. Whatever she wanted, I would gladly do it for her. She sighed heavily and brushed her hair from her face. "I just mis
SiennaI had missed Rocco so much. Since he started his new life, I hardly ever saw him. He still lived in Italy but I didn't want to trespass on his happiness. I did miss the bitch, though. I was so happy to see his ugly face. I was sure Eric had called him to come over. He had become such a considerate fucker recently. Did I like it? Fuck, yes. I really did.Maya did accompany Rocco and I didn't mind. She was actually not too bad. I suppose could get used to her. I felt so disappointed with myself because I knew that I should have fought harder. Angelo was such a pathetic piece of shit. I was borderline delirious because of the amount of blood I had lost, but I would never have forgiven myself if something had happened to the baby. I had always told myself that I didn't need anyone's help, and that I had to do everything myself, but it wasn't supposed to be so always.Fuck, Angelo was fucking dead. Eric had made a mistake, but it was one that I understood. Regardless, I still wishe
SiennaEric chuckled and stood up. He looked back at me before leaving. I sighed as I drummed my bare feet against the floor. What could I possibly do now?"Hey, Sienna," Maya said as she walked back inside. She took a seat on the sofa closest to me."What? I thought you were leaving?" I asked her. She nodded and rubbed her ear. "Well, I thought it would be better if I stayed here with you just until they come back.""You do realize that I won't be able to protect you if something happens, right? My leg is fucked up," I said. I quite enjoyed talking to her. She was almost naive. Poor little girl. Maybe I should try harder with her."Rocco has been teaching me how to shoot," she said.I raised a brow and picked up the gun Eric left beside me. He didn't want to leave me unarmed. Fucking hell, at this rate I would just fuck him endlessly. It was such a shame that he left. I felt the cool hardness of the metal against my fingers as I held it out. "Show me." I held the gun out for her an
Sienna "Sienna, are you okay?" Maya asked through the door. I sniffled and rubbed my tears away. "Yes," I lied. "Open the door," she said when she turned the handle and it didn't open. But I made no attempt to open the door. "It's okay, Sienna. What's on your mind?"I blinked slowly. I didn't know. "You will get bored listening to me," I whispered slowly."Tell me," she urged. It was then I realized that I only had a handful of people who would want to bother with me. Who would want to ask what the matter was when something was bothering me. I sighed and wiped my face with a towel. "I don't know if I can do this Maya. I really don't. I am terrified. Angelo could have killed me," I said, leaving out some parts. "But he didn't. Come on, open the door," she replied.I breathed in through my mouth before I opened the door. "You bitch!" I growled when I saw Maya pointing a gun at my face. She had lied to me. She had betrayed me. She didn't care about me. She just wanted to ambush m
SiennaShe didn't say anything in response to my statement so I looked her up and down. "Who are you?" I asked. But she just let out a breathy chuckle, not saying anything in response to my question. I silenced her. "I said who the fuck are you?" I growled. She was such a fucking bitch. If she wanted, to play, I could play. "I am not telling you anything," she rasped. Then she pulled her head back and then forward, spitting at me. The spittle dribbled down my face, so I closed my eyes and held out a hand. The guard passed me a towel and I wiped my face. A lot worse than spit had been thrown on me, though. "Did you want to piss me off by doing that? Because I am definitely pissed off now," I said as I tossed the towel to the tiled floor.I nodded towards the bitch and the guard came forward with a small plier in hand. He clamped it down on one of her nails. I knew that Rocco wouldn't mind if I hurt her. He would never be with her now. The guard ripped her nail off in one slick mot
SiennaFEW YEARS LATER"Fucking hurry up, please!" I said to the maids who scrambled to set out the dining room. Only the best cutlery and crystal glasses were being used for the occasion. The table would be lined with a white cloth and red placemats. I walked around the room in a black dress which hugged my curves perfectly. Oh, shit, did we have enough wine? Why were we so last minute? Everything was just disorganised.Eric and I were hosting a dinner party and it was going to be so fucking good. We invited a lot of, mostly family. They would be here soon and I wanted things ready. As usual, Eric was avoiding the dining room entirely because he knew that I would be in a bitchy mood. I could understand wh, but Inwas not always moody. I picked up a glass in my hand, turned it over and placed it down when I saw it that was devoid of fingerprints.Suddenly, I felt two small hands grasp my legs tightly and I chuckled before I looking down. "You look very handsome, my little man," I
Sienna "Come on. Where is he? I want to meet my nephew," Sean said as he looked around in excitement. He was just like a fucking hyperactive little dog. I smiled at how excited he was. "This way. He is asleep, so shut the fuck up." I chuckled as I led both of them to the living room. Their eyes landed on Rocco and then at the bundle in his arms. I watched Sean gulp as he refrained from talking for once in his life. Arthur looked proud, and his posture relaxed noticeably. He would be my child's only grandparent, and I was grateful for that.They both walked over to see him. Rocco untucked Lorenzo slightly so that they could see his face. Their gazes lingered on him as they admired him. "He is tiny," Sean whispered."Babies tend to be small, idiot," Rocco said to him, chuckling. They were both so fucking stupid. "Congratulations again, Sienna. I hope you don't mind me saying, but it looks like he takes after Eric," Arthur said softly while turning to look at me.I nodded my head.
Sienna One month had passed now and I was enjoying life with my new little addition. Giving birth was incredibly painful, but it was definitely the best thing I had ever done in my entire life. I certainly didn't plan on getting pregnant, at least not so soon, but right now, I wouldn't wish it any other way.My body was still aching and recovering. I was resting. I hardly did any other thing, except for taking care of Lorenzo. I wanted to do everything. I wanted to feed him, change him and bathe him. I didn't want him to be given off to nannies and nurses like I was. He was mine and I would take care of him. He was so vulnerable, so small, and he needed me. I would always be there for him.So I was sitting on a sofa, in the warm but comfortable living room, breastfeeding my son. He had a ferocious appetite. I had to make sure I ate enough so that I would produce enough for him. I looked down at his beautiful head of hair. I brushed it so many times with my fingers, just feeling th
EricFucking hell. It was a boy. My son. Our son.My knees almost buckled as I watched the nurse taking him to be cleaned and weighed. My heart slowed down and I felt tears falling from my eyes. I let them fall as my heart swelled with happiness. "You did it!" I exclaimed, smiling down at Sienna. Her face held a gentle smile as she closed her eyes.The next hour was a blur. Sienna was checked over and she was now sleeping as she was very exhausted. The room was cleaned and I was now sitting on the cushioned chair beside her bed. I didn't know what time it was but I was fucking tired and wide awake at the same time.Shortly after, the nurse came back with a small, quiet bundle in her arms. In fear, I wasn't even breathing at all for a short moment. She smiled and told me about the baby's health. How he was strong and healthy. Perfect. She asked if I wanted to hold him and a single tear ran down my cheek. I nodded, unable to speak. Then she handed me the bundle, instructing me to make
Eric I was startled awake by Vincent who was yelling in my face. "What the fuck?" I yelled, my voice deep and husky. Why was this fucking ass here, and more so, why did he wake me up? "Why did you wake me?" I growled as I rubbed my heavy eyes. I squinted as I looked at the man who seemed panicked. When I looked across the bed and saw that Sienna wasn't there, my heart almost stopped."She told me to get you immediately," Vincent said, wide eyed, his throat bobbing. I didn't waste any time, pulling on my trousers and grabbing a shirt. As I followed Vincent upstairs, ducking my head slightly to avoid the low roof, I could hear some groans. I pulled on my shirt as I stepped out of the inner part of the yacht.I saw Sienna tightly holding onto the rail as she breathed jaggedly. I could see that her body was shaking. "What is it?" I asked her with worry. I had already forgotten my interrupted sleep by now. As I headed for her, I saw a small puddle of water beneath her feet, and her
EricI pulled at the collar of my shirt, trying to cool myself down, as I headed home after going out for a job. Italy was warmer than home but it was a nice change. The people here were very disciplined. I only had to mention Sienna's name and they would go white as a sheet. And all I could think was how I even manage to be so lucky to have her as my partner.I walked inside the house to see Sienna laying on the sofa with her legs raised on a pillow. I was surprised that she was resting. "And I said, ‘let the fucking bitch rot in hell,’ and apparently that was too harsh on the poor girl." She chuckled. I took a seat on the sofa opposite her, looking down at some faint bruises along my knuckles. Sienna was laughing into the phone, talking to Cara about how Rocco dumped his latest girlfriend.She ended the call after a while and looked at me sideways. "What?" she asked when I didn't speak. I was just looking at her, seeing her beauty, seeing her beneath it all. "Let's go out," I sai
Eric"I understand. Do you think I sent them?" Harrison remarked. "I did not. I do not have plans which involve killing either one of you. That would be outrageously stupid of me and tell me, do I look stupid to you?" Harrison continued. Who would willingly wager a war between two Mafias where both sides were as formidable as each other? Not Harrison, not I and not Sienna either. The Russian Mafia was different. They had been really stupid to think they would dare Sienna and I and actually go scot free?“He is telling the truth. His body language is sincere," Sienna said to me in Italian, and she looked into my eyes briefly. "I believe so too," I replied in Italian too.Harrison cleared his throat and we looked back at him once more. "We are leaving now. We appreciate the honesty," I said as I stood up. "Come on, Eric. Let's play one game of poker. Do this for old times sake," Harrison said, smirking. I knew that he was still fucking mad at the fact that I beat him the last time w
EricShe blew out a breath of air and waited. It was only a few more minutes before Edward arrived.I greeted him, happy to see my friend again. "I am very glad Gabriel was... well, not dead," Edward said with a chuckle. "I am glad about it too. Now, can we please go inside?" Sienna spoke up. Perhaps she was eager to meet the man or maybe she needed the bathroom, who knew? Edward caught her eye and glanced down at her stomach which carried the next Mafia boss. And he or she would be the greatest. "Certainly. It's nice to see you, Sienna," he said as he reached out for her hand. She shook his hand, much to Edward’s disappointment. He wanted to kiss the back of it, but that job was strictly reserved only for me."Let's go and beat the shit out of him." Sienna chuckled, before she walked up to the door in her white sneakers. Edward and I looked at each other, completely unfazed as we kept on walking up to the door. Harrison was expecting us, so there was no doubt that he would put o
Eric When I looked across the spacious private plane, I saw Sienna taking a nap. She lay sprawled across two large leather seats. I placed a thick blanket over her. She was apparently bored as fuck and fucking tired of my remarks.I couldn't believe it. When I lost Gabriel it was like a part of me was missing. I didn't realize how much he impacted my life until he was gone. He truly was my best friend, and a brother to me. Fucking hell. And Sienna brought him back. She also mended the emptiness I felt. She was my world. I looked at her as she rested. I wouldn't change her for anything.I picked up my phone and held it to my ear after I dialed a number. "That better not be the fucking bitch," Sienna mumbled with a yawn as she stretched her arms."That was a quick nap." I smiled. She looked at me, her eyes looking damn mischievous. She shook her head at me and stood up, holding onto the seat. "Edward, hello. As you are aware, we are meeting Harrison as soon as we land. I would app
