A MAFIA LOVE STORY

The wedding.Kalia. Most girls dream of their wedding day, the gown they will wear, saying yes to the man of their dreams. Getting their fairytale endings. But I am not like most girls. I don't believe in fairy tales and I most certainly don't belive in till love do us part. But for my father I would do anything, he had sacrificed everything for me. I looked at my reflection in the mirror for the hundredth time, "You look so beautiful my princess." my dad said from the door. His health was taking a turn for the worse and it was starting to show in his face."Thank you dad. I wish mom was here." i said as he took me into his arms."She would have been so proud of you mia amors."We both stood there in silence for a while looking at how beautiful I looked in that dress. "You know you don't have to do this," my father started as tears freely fell down his face. "We could find another way.""There is no other way dad." i said turning around and taking his hands in mine. "I want to d

Broken TrustKalia. I stood by the large window, staring out at the sprawling city scape that glittered beneath me. The city had always been a symbol of my ambition, the place where I fought my whole adult life for my father to finally accept me as a suitable heir for his empire. But he had never really accepted me, I was no match for a boy. And a boy was all my father ever wanted. But funny how life had a weird way of working out. Now I was incharge of the company he never even wanted me to work for. I heard footsteps from the hallway, heavy footsteps I could just tell it was a man of a certain weight coming my way. And I knew exactly who it was, I had been anticipating him for the past one hour. I knew he had his men all over the city looking for me, but I knew he would eventually know where to come. "Was it all a lie?" Jake's voice was low, edged with disbelief and simmering anger. He said closing shut the door behind him, as if signaling me that I had no escape. I took a

Kalia.Two weeks later. Waiting by the window. It had been a few weeks now since the wedding and he was still icing me out. I knew why but I refused to accept it. There was no way I was going to live like this for the next two years. I hated how he treated me, how he made me feel and everyday I promised myself that I would not care, I would not think about him, but how could I not. I was in love with him and I could not stop even if I wanted to. I found mused craving for his attention, his touch, I even missed his voice. I looked at the watch again for the millionth time, nothing. Maybe something was wrong with my phone. I thought to myself as I walked to the kitchen. "Hey Maria," I said to the housekeeper who was busy washing utensils in the kitchen. "Has Jake called yet?" I asked her hopeful, she stopped what she was doing and looked up at me, I could see the pity in her eyes. She felt sorry for me. "He said he will be late." she finally said, our eyes met, and I tried to hold

Kalia.Office confrontation. I knew this was a suicide move on my part, but I was done waiting, done giving him time. It was time we had a little chat.I put on my red bottoms and some red gloss before I picked up my pulse and headed out. As soon as I stepped on the foyer, Paul the driver was next to me. "Boss said you cannot leave the house without his permission or knowledge ma'am" he said. "Oooh did he now?" I said sarcastically as I walked towards the parked car on the driveway. Paul was following me behind, talking but I was not really listening. "Open the door Paul if you don't want to find yourself without a job in the next few seconds." He immediately opened the door and held it for me as I got in. His face was horrified, I knew he was afraid of getting into trouble with Jake. But I would not let that happen. I liked him. In Fact I wanted him to be my personal driver and confidant and I was going to make sure of that. After I was comfortably seated, he closed the door an

Kalia. Missed dinner. During our brief dating time, I had come to realize that Jake's favourite food was spaghetti and meatballs which is what I made for dinner. It was a quick fix meal and did not really require much effort. I set the table intimately for just the two of us with candles and some soft music. After everything was all set up, I went back upstairs. I still had an hour and some minutes to get ready. I was determined to try to get things to work, at least for the two years we were stuck together as husband and wife. I took a quick shower and blow dried my hair. I had very long hair and Jake liked my hair down, it went all the way down to my waist. I put on my favourite red dress which was also his favourite, and red was his favourite colour, put on some cologne and I finally went down. He was still not home, but he had a few more minutes which I took to make sure everything was perfect. It was already eight, but still there was no sign of Jake anywhere. I took out
