A MAFIA LOVE STORY Chapter Twenty Nine
Kalia.It had been quiet, for the past two days at least. Jake didn't leave the house at all, or his room. I just saw Paul go in there several times, but I was banned from going there. He did not want to see me at all, which I did not get. But he needed his space and I got that. With all the quiet and everyone walking on eggshells, I had time to work on my business plan and do some research on Maria. But there was nothing really out of the ordinary I had found, except that she had a daughter who was abroad. But Jake had no siblings, his father never remarried, so he was an only child which crossed Maria out on being her biological mother.I had come up with another theory too, maybe Maria adopted Jake, but if that was the case why was she working for him as the help. I was running out of ideas and having been stuck in my room for two days, I needed some space, I needed to get out of my room.. I also needed answers, not today but I definitely needed to find out the missing puzzles.

Jake.Flashback to when Bella died. I knew I was being unfair to Kalia, being harsh. But I needed to if I was going to get through this. I was in love with her, she was all. I could think about every morning I woke up and every night I went to bed. But I needed to look at her as an enemy, because that is what she was. I was just laying there, on my bed just staring at the ceiling. It was raining heavily outside. The sound of rain pattering against the window pulled me from the haze of sleep, but the stillness that followed was suffocating. I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the floor, my heart heavy as i tried to gather myself for another day. The quiet house, dimly lit by the morning light, felt too large, too empty. There was a time when it buzzed with life, when laughter bounced off the walls, and tiny footsteps echoed down the hallway. I exhaled slowly, trying to shake off the familiar ache that had settled deep in my chest. Yet, despite my efforts to remain in the pr

Naima.When we first met. As I sat next to him, I couldn't help but think about the first time we met. We hit it off immediately, we had so many plans, the world was ours to conquer. He touched my thigh, caressing me slowly, and I sat back, relaxed and found myself back to that day we met at that small coffee shop by my dorm. We went to the same school, I had heard of him, but I had never met him before, not until that day. I strolled into the cafe, the warm scent of roasted coffee beans instantly wrapping around me. I glanced around the room, my eyes searching for a quiet corner where I could settle with my book. The late afternoon sunlight filtered through the large windows, casting a golden glow on the rustic wooden tables. It wasn’t too busy a few people typing on laptops, some chatting softly over their drinks. As I made my way to a small table by the window, I noticed a man seated at the bar. His back was to me, but there was something about the way he sat there , relaxed y

Jake.It was a beautiful afternoon, the rain had stopped and suddenly it was just pure breeze. Naima sat with her mom, and I appreciated that she had someone else to be there for her. I was in no capacity to be there for her, I had my own demons, fighting me. I saw Maria, she was at the back, tied up. I knew she just didn't want anyone to see her there. For some reason I now understood her, she thought she was doing me a favour by leaving me with my father. How could I hate her?I started walking over to the graveyard, everyone was in circles now, speaking amongst themselves. We had kept the memorial small, just close friends and family who knew Bella.I walked over and stood right by her, Her tombstone read"Isabella Anderson, Beloved daughter."I stood still for a long moment, staring at the words, tracing them with my eyes. My breath was shallow, my chest tight. This was my pilgrimage, a place I visited often, mostly when I needed some peace and quiet. It seemed to weirdly wo

Naima.I watched as people left one by one, it was getting late and I really could not blame them. They had lives to go back to, but I didn't want to go back home. "Hey" Jake said sitting next to me. I was so occupied in my own thoughts that I didn't even see him approaching. "Hey, I thought you left." "And leave you behind? Hell no." he said, touching my thigh, looking up at me. "I don't know if I will ever be able to move on from this, she was my little girl" I said as a fresh set of tears threatened my eyes, "I miss her so much Jake." He did not say anything, instead he just pulled me in for a long hug and he let me cry until I couldn’t anymore. He was always good with that, he always knew when to say something and when not to, it was one of the things I loved about him the most. With him holding me like that, I found myself going back in time to when I found out I was pregnant, we had only been together for a few months and I was scared to death to tell him the news. It was

Kalia.They should be back by now, everyone that had gone to the memorial was back, but not Jake. Where was he? I asked myself, had something happened? Was he with her? Maria was back, but she seemed to be dealing with her own issues I could not ask her about Jake. I paced around the room, my anxiety growing with each passing minute. Where was he? Why hadn’t he called or texted? I picked up my phone again, hoping for some message, but nothing. The silence only deepened my worry. Finally, i heard the sound of Jake’s car pulling into the driveway. I rushed to the window, my heart racing with a mixture of relief and apprehension. He was finally home. But as i peered out, my blood ran cold. There, stepping out of the passenger seat of Jake’s car, was his ex-girlfriend, Naima. My breath was caught in my throat as i watched Jake walk around the car and open the door for her. I had thought about them spending some time together during the memorial, even bonding over their loss, but I did

Jake.I hadn't really slept all night, and now as I lay awake, the morning sunlight filtered through the curtains of my bedroom windows, casting soft, golden rays on the hardwood floor. I stood at the window, staring out over the city skyline, my coffee growing cold in my hands. I wasn’t seeing the buildings, though; my mind was far away, caught in a tangled web of emotions that I could neither fully understand nor escape.All I could think about was Kalia, which was not fair to the woman sleeping soundly on my bed. I turned around and watched her, snoring softly. I had woken up so many times to her face, she was beautiful, and despite giving birth to a child she still looked spectacular. At one point in my life she meant everything to me, don't get me wrong I still loved Naima, but I was not in love with her. And last night was prove of that. Maybe it was time I started being honest with myself, and maybe tell Kalia I was in love with her, but that was a dumb thin to do. Kalia wa

36.Kalia. It had been a few days now and no one had heard from Jake or seen him except for Maria. The last time we spoke, he had said he was trying to make things work with Naima, but he had left her sleeping and disappeared.I remember how pissed Naima had been when she woke up and he was gone and all he had left her was a note that said he was sorry but he couldn't do this. I have to admit I was happy about it, but I did feel sorry for Naima, she seemed so pissed when she left. I went down for my usual cup of coffee, I was certain I was coming down with something. I had not slept at Al last night, my fever was over the roof and my stomach could barely hold anything down except for water. "Good morning Maria." i said cheerful as I sat down while she poured my coffee, "You look happy this morning, happy than usual." i said smiling, I mean it was rare to see this woman happy."I am Kalia, my daughter is coming home." she said cheerfully, "I haven't seen her in months, she is away

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. It’s going to be a long day.” i sat down in the chair by his desk, pulled my notebook out of my briefcase and sat poised with a pen in my hand.“Why do you do that?” he asked.“Do what?”“Take physical notes on paper.

75.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 wa

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
