Raphael had his hand encircled around Nicole's waist as he supported a limping Nicole in her steps. They were heading to the other victim's ward.
Nicole stopped walking for a brief moment and sighed. She felt she needed the short walk break.
Raphael caressed her waist as if telling her she will be fine. She understood his touch and smiled at him."Why don't you just let me carry you Nicole?"Raphael asked once they began walking again.
Nicole shook her head. "I need to exercise my legs by walking"
"If we keep walking at this rate we will reach the other victim's ward by sunset and before we get downstairs it will be midnight"
Nicole tried to hold in her laughter at Raphael's reply.Raphael sighed and in one scoop, he picked her up bridal style.
Nicole had her lips parted and encircled her arm around his neck as he began walking.NICOLE It's been three weeks since I got back from the hospital. Everything was going smooth, Raphael still worked late but at least I did get to see him every morning though I rarely saw him at night. He would work late at night and come back sometimes five in the morning. It was a cycle for him. I truly wondered how he was keeping up with the torturous routine. I just hope he wouldn't get insomnia as a result of his over working attitude.I knew being in the mafia was a hell of work but I felt Raphael was just being a workaholic.Like the man needs a fucking break!I suddenly started missing the period I was admitted to the hospital. Atleast I knew Raphael got enough sleep and rest. It was just both of us in our own world. Just like normal couples. A shaky sigh escaped my parted lips as I reminisced about t
Nicole filled the entire room with her moans as Raphael's expert tongue feasted on her hardened nipples.Her fingers fisted into his scalp and held on to his nape as he lavished her engorged breasts."R-raph more please"she pleaded in an airily breath.Her hands slipped past his neck to his pants, sensually rubbing on his budging, rock hard dick.Raphael let out a low, guttural groan and trailed his lips to her neck. He swept her neck with his tongue before giving her soft bites. Nicole squirmed on the bed and moaned even more.Raphael raised his head up and locked his lips with hers. Time stopped in an instant for Nicole with Raphael's tongue moving so sensually inside her. She completely surrendered herself to his burning, fervent and possessive kiss. His fingers explored her skin with a mind of its own. Hands reaching for her a
Nicole tossed about in her bed, unable to sleep as her slumber was being haunted by terrible nightmares.Suddenly her eyes shot open and she was instantly jerked awake. Her heart beat was racing to its summit. Nicole sat up and placed a hand on her chest, trying to calm down her erratic heart."God. Why am I feeling so scared?"Nicole asked no one in particular.Her worried thoughts then drifted to Raphael and her breathing got hitched. He wasn't back home yet. Her eyes roved around her room, scanning every corner. "Raphael?"She called out as she stood up from the bed in hopes of meeting him in the bathroom or closet.The only response she got was an empty closet. "Raphael where are you?"Nicole cried out to herself, slumping on the cold floor of the closet.This wasn't the way she imagined her married life to turn out.
RAPHAEL"In recent times" I began leaning forward and placing a cigarette in between my lips."For the past four months if I should be precise, our goods have been targeted and we've hard such a hard time passing them through the boarders of Columbia and Ecquador. And I'm surprised noticing I have high classed politicians and those bitches sitting in the boarders and embassy in my payroll"I pulled out the cigarette in between my lips and watched the features of Marcello hardened. He oversee the distribution of our drugs from the boarders of Columbia to Ecuador and also from Paraguay to Argentina.He opened his mouth to speak but I cut him off at once. "Look Marcello we've recovered those drugs well thanks to me"I added cockily."But somehow I always have to deal with issues when those goddamn drugs are going into Ecuador""Well you can't blame
The guards went stiff, their frigid orbs darting to the ground on seeing Raphael stride towards the doors of his father's office. He ignored their rigid state as they acknowledged his and Dante's presence with a slight dip of their heads. Dante let out a deep exhale and snatched out his gun from its hoister."Why are you bringing out your gun cazzo-cock?" Raphael asked in a low tone with his face turned to peak a glance at Dante.Dante shrugged his shoulders. "Incase one of them pees in their pants. I don't know why they look so pale whenever they see you"Raphael had a smirk forming by the corners of his lips. They should always look pale on seeing him. He loved the fear and spine chilling dread that ignited in the hearts of people whenever they thought of him.Raphael roughly pushed open the door and elegantly walked inside with Dante to
NICOLE The room was dark, the only light illuminating it was the one shining from the blue screen of my laptop.I was surfing the net, searching for available tech companies in need of workers. It felt like I was the only person in this mansion not engaging in any sort of job. I had every thing I wanted at my disposal, well Raphael made sure of that, but still I was beginning to feel like a house wife. It was sickening. I hated the feeling.I had to get a job. Besides everyone else was always working and Raphael clearly never had my time these days. Instead of brooding over his frequent disappearance at least I could get a job and keep myself busy.The cold breeze rushed into my room without any hesistance, roughly blowing my braids over my face.I whipped my face to the windows that were opened wide open. The soft rays of the moon struggled to
NICOLE Sunlight creeped into my room through the curtains that swayed over my windows.I pinched my eyes shut even more and stretched my hand to feel the body of the man I had surrendered myself to last night. The bedsheet felt cold. At once my eyes flew open in a hurry and I rolled over to his side. He must have left.Fuck.I buried my face into the pillows taking in his sweet scent. It was still lingering on the bedsheets.Thinking of what transpired between us last night got me suddenly beaming with smiles."You moron"I scolded myself with a slight tap by the side of my head."You should be fussing that he left before you woke again"I reminded myself .I wonder why Raphael leaves before I even get the chance to flicker my eyes open.I exhaled slowly and straightened my s
"What a lovely surprise. Miles how are you doing?"Nicole tittered, going over to him.He nodded his head and offered his hand to which she took."You look fully healed Miles" Nicole grinned.Raphael came over to both of them and wrapped an arm around Nicole's waist."And so do you. How are you Mr Raph?"He inquired, his gaze landing for a brief second on Raphael's hand encircled around Nicole's waist before pushing it back to their faces."He is so possessive of her. It's good. Itmakes this more fun" Miles thought to himself."I am good Miles""We were about having breakfast, do you mind joining us?"Nicole prod. "I don't really think..."Miles attempted to object."Oh c'mon stop" Nicole pushed with a lopsided grin.Raphael dug his nails into her skin causing her to wi
NICOLE I flopped my head back on to my sofa, tiredness oozing from my features.I had a very tiring day at work and all I needed now was just rest and peace. Peace in my married life too.In the past two weeks, ever since I confronted Raphael about his past affairs with Leila, we've been having issues upon issues over the phone. Why was he blind to the fact that Leila would destroy our marraige if she was still lingering around him?She herself made it clear to me on how much she despised me and how badly she wanted Raphael. That woman will do everything in her power to get Raphael back and I was trying to avoid it.I had specifically told Raphael to discharge her of her duties and just let her go far away from this mafia and from him but he wouldn't agree. He said it wasn't that easy to leave the mafia and Leila was one of his best assassins. I mean ain't he the capo?He makes the rules so why can't he change them? What is so hard in discharging her of her duties and sen
NICOLE I came down from my car, heading into a dainty pastry shop. I was on my way to work and I wanted to grab some snacks. Pushing open the glass doors, I trod towards the counter.The decor was comfortable. It wasn't too posh to feel out of place and also wasn't too plain either. Rounded wooden tables and soft chairs formed a pattern in the shop,the mild tone of classical music soaring in the air.The environment wasn't animated. It was peaceful and serene.Placing an order to go of two pancakes and some spring rolls by the counter, I ambled towards one of the chairs and waited for my order. My mind drifted towards Raphael. I missed my husband so much. It was already close to a month and he still wasn't back.Was it that serious back in Mexico?The only thing that comforted me was my assurance that he would come back and also our late night calls. A waiter brought my order to me wrapped up."Here you go Ma'am" a soft feminine voice called out to me.With a smile, I col
"I swear I'll shoot all of you right now and send gunmen to each one of your fucking families and have them pass through hell!" Raphael thundered fire and brimstones to his underbossess that formed a straight line opposite him. His nostrils flared and his eyes were so bloodshot, enough to scare the wits out of someone. Anger was an understatement of what he was going through. A bomb had been planted in one of his warehouses and they were very fortunate to had escape with their lives but in the process they had lost more than a million. His restless feet walked around the hall, his anger rising with each breath. A grenade was exploding in his head and he just wanted to kill somebody right now. The horror stricken underbossess stood frigid and also rigid. Nobody dared uttered a word in their defence. The incidence had left everyone stuperfied and lost for words. How was a bomb planted in the warehouses? It was heavily guarded so who was able to outsmart the armed guards and pla
RAPHAEL "Any info yet?" I asked my capos as we sauntered into a fairly dark room.Thomas outstretched his hands for me,"see for yourself. Diego's phone was accessed and truly he did get a phone call from the ghost" A smile lit on my face. Finally we were getting somewhere. I was tired of moving in circles, unending frustrating circles."Is that all?" I asked, my voice a little louder. My eyes accessed everything in the spacious room with a wily smile."We've gotten the best computer specialist and trackers to access the exact location of the ghost" Thomas informed me, his eyes on the various men who had the finger pads glued to the keyboard of the computers with the lights reflecting on their faces. I walked towards one and he acknowledged my presence which I returned back with a nod."Fill me in" I ordered him."We've got a problem" his brows became furrowed at the screen. Fuck. What again?"What's the issue?" I replied trying to swallow my annoyance."Diego was contacted through
RAPHAEL"Thomas please that's absurd" I sighed, taking my eyes off him."But it's not impossible" Thomas replied unfazed."Why exactly would my dad want to harm my mum? For what reason? What would he gain from my mother's death?" I threw multiple questions at Thomas. Thomas went silent, slowly averting his gaze from my face. He opened his mouth to speak but no words came out."Exactly. Nothing at all links to my dad" I concluded with a hiss.I don't know why my mum would make such an absurd claim. It was so saddening watching her rage like an insane lunatic not to talk more of Nicole having to believe her words. Nothing linked to my dad. What would he stand to gain from killing my mother? If he was truly one of our enemies, why didn't he just kill us all since? He knows the in and out of this mafia--all our partners, the drugs, the politicians in our payroll, the ammunitions, our warehouses--name it all; my dad knows it all so why didn't he destroy us earlier. What would e
An agonising groan echoed around the steel walls of the cellar.Pain was evident in the voice that carried it; torturous and horrific pain. Strapped on to a chair was a bruised and disfigured Diego. He was held caged by a rope which seemed to squeeze his entire body into one piece. The pain from that alone was excruciating talk more of the cuts, wounds and broken bones he had gotten. The cellar was cold, extremely cold. Diego had his teeth chattering. A rat ran passed his legs causing him to curse in italian. Heavy thumping footsteps could be heard making its way towards his direction.Diego needed not to be told who it was. Cold and dangerous blue eyes carried his already swollen and weak green orbs in their formidable stare."Have you come back to finish what you started?" Diego asked slurry before spitting out loud. Raphael crouched down and gave him a sadistic smile."You know me so well diego" "Actually..."Raphael began."I'm not going to kill you now" he stood
NICOLE What word can describe how shock and confused I am right now?Raphael's bitter tone still played in my head. I could only imagine how furious he looked when he said that. I felt like screaming my lungs out. I planned on telling him this myself. Why would Leila go tell him without informing me? I thought so much about it that I didn't realise when tears had started trickling down my cheeks. With a sniff of my nose, I wiped my tears with the back of my palms. My phone rang a second time causing me to jerk immedately.Was that Raphael!? I checked the caller with the speed of light only to meet with a caller that almost got me screaming.Amarachi!"Amarachi! Oh my. How are you!?" I was as happy as a lark to hear her voice.I've missed my sister so much."I'm good sis. What about you?" Amarachi laughed."I'm so sorry I haven't been calling" I felt guilty immedately. Ever since I got married to Raphael, it seemed that I had less time to focus on my own side of the family
RAPHAEL My brows deeply knitted themselves while my restive eyes were focused on my phone which rested in my tensed fingers. I recieved a video from Leila. She didn't even send a call or a voicenote of any sort. She just randomly sent this video. I at first thought it was a video about how things were going on back home which was why I didn't want to open it immedately but now my eyes are eating up what I can't make out of. Where is Nicole heading with miles?Why doesn't that woman listen to me?! I assigned Leila to look after her because I know how unsafe it is right now. If one of my goddamn enemies couldn't reach me, Nicole would definitely be the next target. Her safety is so important to me.I specifically ordered her not to go anywhere without Leila. Even if she disobeyed me, I had at least expected it to be that she went with Sofia or Emilio and not with Miles. My face was disconcerted in anger, my fist balling up the more I focused on the video. "Fuck!!" I yell
The room was gloomy doom, scanty with just a sofa as the only piece of furniture decorating the dark room.A faintly lit bulb swung carelessly in the middle, evoking squeaky noises with each swing which was the only sound that befell the room. Ruffled brown hairs with large carouse hands that were combing through it, dishevelling it the more flopped on the edge of the sofa. With searching brown eyes staring up at the ceiling, the man blew puffs of cigarette smoke into the air, dragging the cigar out of his lips. A slow knock on the door was heard. A smile curved by the side of his peach lips. Loud thumping footsteps were accompanied by the deep chuckling of a young man."I've been waiting for you" came the hoarse voice of the man. "It's not easy doing this but I'm glad I'm back on track" the young man told him as he stood behind the sofa. With a sharp bolt from the sofa, the older man turned to face his counterpart before engulfing him in a hug."Maxim. Ivan must be
