A MAFIA LOVE STORY Chapter Fifty Two
Kalia. After dinner, I went out by the pool. It was a beautiful night, the full moon out along with a sky full of stars. It was so beautiful and calming out here tonight and generally in the country. I had always wanted to raise my family in the country, away from the buzz of the city.I dipped my bare feet into the cold water, getting a certain satisfaction. I was still reeling from dinner, from that made up story on how we met. I had watched Jake all night, he seemed happy, he was so committed to the fake story that I wondered if he really did remember how we met. He could be a good actor because even I bought it. Which is why it was going to be difficult to read him, to trust him. My phone buzzed, and I looked at the watch on my wrist, it was past eleven almost midnight. Who would be texting me at this hour? Maybe something was wrong with my dad, that was the only reason I could think of why someone would be texting me this late. I quickly got out of the water, rushing to t

JAKE.I watched as Kalia walked back to the house in tears, a part of me wanted to follow her, but I couldn't, she was right to want to leave and I was not going to stop her, but it was not because of what she thought, I was not going to choose Naima over her.My private investigator had just called a few minutes before I walked to join her by the pool. He had told me who was behind the accident, thats what I had come to tell her.But this was my fight with Naima and whoever else was coming after me, I could not drag her into it, especially not when she was carrying my child.Her leaving was for the best for both of us and I needed her to leave angry at me, it was harsh but it was going to work.If Naima found out we were no longer together, she would be off the hook. She would hate me, but she will be safe together with my son.I was not going to be here when she left, I couldn’t. I knew if I stayed there I would never let her leave me, not like that, and telling her my plan would rui

KaliaFinding husband with ExMaybe I had over reacted, I thought to myself, I could only blame the hormones. It was supposed to be a simple apology, I was going to tell him I was wrong. I never imagined it would lead me to the painful realization I was about to face. As I adjusted the rearview mirror of the car, my hands trembling slightly on the steering wheel, I tried to steady my thoughts. Tonight wasn’t supposed to end like this. But the circumstances had spiraled out of my control, and now, here I was staring at the neon lights of the club , Jake, frequented, a big part of me wanted to turn back the car and go back home, but I needed to make things right. Earlier, when Jake had left the house, his words had stung. "You always blow things out of proportion. I’m going out. Don't wait up." He didn’t look at me when he said it, and there was no warmth in his voice. I watched him pull out of our driveway, Maya had tried to talk to him but he had left so pissed off. I still didn't un

Kalia.I went straight to Eric's house, he was the only one I could talk to and also the only one that could answer me. As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Eric immediately by the curb, and our eyes locked as I ran towards him and straight into his arms. As soon as he held me, my whole body melted and I started sobbing uncontrollably, and he let me do it.I don't know how long we stayed that way before we finally left, his car was waiting fully loaded with all my suit cases."Let's go for a ride." I finally managed to say. " Where to pretty woman?" He said jokingly as soon as we got back into the car."Is that even a real question, the hospital ofcourse. I want to see dad." "Do you know what time it is Kalia?" he said shocked, looking at me like I had lost my mind or something."I know and I don't care, I will sit there until he wakes up." I said, meaning every word."The hospital it is." we drove in silence for a few minutes and I actually appreciated the silence, but he must h

Jake. I woke up completely covered in sweat. Another bad dream. This had been the fourth one this week, I had not been sleeping well at all. I sat up, looking at the clock on the table, it was still early, too early to be up anyway. I looked around the room, Naima was nowhere to be seen. Where could she have gone this early in the morning, in the few years we had dated I had never even known her to be a morning person, or maybe she had changed. I sat back down, my mind still blank and confused. I could not stop thinking about Kalia, she had really left. It had been almost a week now, since she left and Naima moved in. I had tried to reach out to her, but her old phone was disconnected. But I knew she was back in New York living in her father's house.Atleast that's what my sister had told me. I picked up my phone and started to go through the gallery, looking at some of the pictures we had taken together. "You did this you know, and I don't think that it's worth it." Maria sa

Kalia. New beginnings. As the big city skyline lay ahead, towering over building as we drove under the evening sun, I couldn't help but reflect on my life in New York. This is the only city I knew as home. I was born here, raised her and even my parents died here and were buried here. This was my home. And now I was abandoning my home, a big part of me wanted to remain, to stay and fight, but how could I when so much was at stake. I was also not thinking about myself anymore, I had to think about the little human I was growing inside of me. I sat in the passenger sit, my hands twisting nervously as my father sat in the back seat together with Eric . Paul was our designated driver for the night. “Are you sure about this?” Paul asked, his voice steady but laced with concern.I glanced out the window, watching familiar sights fade into the distance. “I have to be. I can’t go back. Not now.” I said meaning it. I knew Jake well enough to know he would never really be able to let me

JakeI sat at the kitchen table, absently stirring my coffee as I flipped through the pages of some book I had found on the counter, but my mind wasn't on the pages. My thoughts wandered to Kalia, my wife , who was nowhere to be seen. Did Naima find her and do something horrible to her? I asked myself, my blood boiling with the thought of that. I will kill her, I will fucking kill her if she touched her a single strand of hair on Kalia's head. The baby was due in a few months, and the excitement of becoming a father had begun to overtake everything else even though I had to pretend like I didn't give a damn. I wanted to be better than my dad ever was, I wanted my child to feel loved and to have everything, but i was clearly failing before he even got here. Maybe my mother had been right. I fucked up big time. I should have come up with a better idea to get rid 9f Naima without getting rid of the woman who was carrying my baby. I fished out my phone and tried to call her number a

NaimaIt had been a few hours since I stormed out of downstairs after Jake accused me of kidnapping Kalia. I returned immediately to my room and got dressed. Jake was still gone, he had been gone for over five hours now, and I was worried about what he might have been cooking out. I needed the day out, away from his family and this cocoon of crazed lust I had for him and the mental gymnastics I needed to undertake to pretend to myself that everything was still all right. That my heart wasn’t about to break into a thousand jagged pieces. I Had just found it the news, overheard his sister and his mother talking about Kalia. It was all a lie she had not lost the baby. She was going to have Jake's child and that burned me up. He had lied to me which made me question what else he was lying about. Was his feelings even real? Or was it also part of the plot to distract me from what was really going on. I called Katie and we agreed to meetup at the mall where we usually met, and do lunc

Kalia.I had been working for him for a couple of months now as his pr, and still I was not used to it. The fact that the very first thing I felt when Jake’s deep, masculine voice pulled me out of the deep sleep I had been in was a shiver of excitement, and not a pang of annoyance, was disturbing on a lot of levels, all of which I was too tired to analyze in that particular moment.“It’s one in the morning, Jake .” I said, as I blinked against the blinding light radiating from the screen of my smartphone. After four months in working for him, I should know better than to be surprised by a midnight phone call, but somehow every time it happened it caught me unprepared. “It’s nine a.m. in England.” He said, “And we have a crisis on our hands?” I immediately rolled over and brushed myhair out of my face, the cool sheets from the side of the bed that had been unoccupied chilling me slightly.“The sky isn’t falling, if that’s what you mean, but we have protesters lining the streets at

Kalia.And I had vowed i wouldn’t become like that. I wasn’t letting anyone have control over my life again.Although, obviously Jake had some modicum of control over my life since he was my boss and my child's father, but that was different. “If you expect me to buy new clothes you have to give me time to shop.” I said facing him with a straight face, after all this was his event he was inviting me to, it only made sense. “You can have the afternoon off.” I shook my head, my tight bun staying firmly in place. “Morning and afternoon. I need some sleep too.”“Morning to lunch hour,” he countered.“Deal.”“No black. No beige.” He added“It’s an art gala, most of the women will be in black.” I said defensively “I know, and that’s exactly why I want you to wear something else.”I frowned. “I’m not in the habit of allowing men to dictate what I wear. I can choose for myself.”He stood from his desk, and I was distracted, as I always was when he surprised me like that, by the superb sha

Jake was from a fairly affluent family, that was general knowledge. It surprised me that he’d had to take out loans to start up his company.When we were married he never talked to me about this type of stuff, or anything business related at all. Which is why I loved our new arrangement, I felt needed and smart. I was not just a pretty girl. “But now you have to play the diplomacy game,” I said.“I would anyway. I develop resort and hotel properties, the public has to have a favorable view of me.”“That’s true.”For the most part, the public did have a favorable view of him. He was charismatic and charming and dated the most eligible women in Hollywood, which put him on the front cover of a lot of magazines andmade him very high profile for a businessman. He was also a slave driving taskmaster, but only his employees knew that. And in fairness, he never expected anything from her that he didn’t expect from himself. In fact, he seemed to expect more from himself.Which was why, even

Kalia. In theory, I liked sexy men, at least from a distance. When said sexy man was both my baby daddy and boss, it made life a bit more complicated. It didn’t really matter, though. Business was business and I had no intention of crossing any lines with him. I wasn’t his type anyway. He liked party girls. The shallower, and the shorter the skirt, the better. Of course, I wasn’t entirely certain what my type was as far as practical application went. Judging by my recent string of failed dates I didn’t really have a type.“How many shots?” he asked, lowering the cup.“four,” I answered, trying to bring my mind back into the present and away, far, far away, from his lips.“Good.

Jake.I had never seen Kalia look less than perfect. She always looked beautiful, even when she rushed into the office at two in the morning to handle some sort of media crisis. But in a dark navy blue gown with ruffled sleeves, a demure neckline and a back that dipped so low it ought to be illegal, she was stunning.Her hair was pinned to the side so that her curls cascaded over one shoulder, and didn’t cover any of the skin that was on display in the back of the gown. Her makeup was more dramatic than she usually wore to the office and her legs were bare, and on glorious show, the dress barely skimming her knees. And they were amazing legs.My libido kicked into gear, a reminder that I hadn’t had sex in a very long time. But business had been intense and when I hadn’t been focused on my various building projects I had been handling Maya’s big move into her new, off campus apartment. An apartment she hadn’t wanted, because she couldn’t afford it herself. But there was no way I was let

JakeI put my hand on the small of her back, on her bare skin, and I felt a small shiver go through her whole body. She was feeling every bit of the attraction I was. Strange, because I had only ever seen her in herbuttoned up professional mode for a while now, now suddenly she was unbuttoned and very, very hot. Although, she had always been hot. I had thought more thanonce about uncoiling her tightly wound hair and watching the dark curls tumble down.She shifted against me, her hip brushing my body intimately. My muscles tensed and desire roared through me, my body hardening at the accidental contact.I drew her closer, letting her feel. Letting her know exactly what she was doing to me. I didn’t hit on employees as a rule, ever. But she tempted me. And that was a new experience. Women appealed to me, and I desired them. But I had never considered them a serious temptation. If itwasn’t the right time, it was easy for me to leave my date standing on the doorstep and go home withou

KaliaI bit my lip. This side of Jake always confused me . In some ways he seemed more uncomfortable having people know anything good about him.He didn’t seem to mind the negative press that came when he dated one supermodel, then switched to an actress the next night. But he didn’t seem to want to let anyone know about his good behavior. And there was something about that that made me almost like him sometimes, and that made all the other physical things he made me feel intensify.“It’s … okay, events like this are definitely a little bit fake. It’s see and be seen. Most people are flashing their bids all over the place.” I jerked my head toward the glittering celebrities and debutantes gathered around different pieces of art, waving their bids around while they talked.“I don’t play the game,” he said. “It doesn’t appeal to me.”“You have to play the game a little bit, Jake It’s good for business.”“What’s it like for you, doing a job that’s so at odds with who you are?”The questi
