I told Chloe and she nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, I get it."
She said and we went back to working. The rest of the day was quiet and passed peacefully as I were so consumed in working. I didn't realise it was already half an hour past seven and I usually left for home at seven. I closed the files and arranged them in order.
"Are you done?"
I asked as I saw Chloe still engaged with her small office on her hands, well, I guess that could be even called her small world because she barely did anything else than working on her tablet. From arranging meetings to reserving seats for dining, she did it all on her fingertips. It was cool but she was too lost to have some actual fun which girls in her age did. Well, we were of same ag

The waitress appeared with our orders and we enjoyed the meal. I was having good time with Chloe and Duke but I wished Enzo was here, too. His work was obviously much more important than me, what am I wishing for?"That's non-vegetarian."Duke nearly shouted making me come out of my thoughts as I saw Chloe was taking a slice of pizza kept in the center of the table."Yeah, I ordered non-vegetarian pizzas. Is it not good?"I asked seeing Chloe conflicting in her mind as she placed back the slice."No, it's good but I was just warning her."Duke said simply."Warning?"I didn't know, what they were talking about."Yep I am a vegan and meat doesn't suit my body. I am allergic to non-vegetarian food."She told me and I nodded, taking in the situation. But how come Duke know about it?
A Perfidious Relationship The confession
I had taken a short nap during our drive to Rexivo."Valerie, we are here."I heard Chloe's soft voice as my head was placed on her shoulder. It felt like, it has only been a few minutes I had fallen asleep. The drive wasn't long from the restaurant to here."oh! Sorry, I fell asleep on your shoulder."I apologised to Chloe as it might have been uncomfortable for her to sit like that."No, it's alright. I should leave for my home now. You should leave with Duke, too."She said, concerned. It was late in the night and she was concerned about me, when I had Duke on my said. It was her who needed to be safe. I couldn't let her go alone."No, Chloe you can't go alone. Let your car be here for the night, it'll be safe. Let us drive you to home."I offered and Duke seemed to agree too."No, I'll be good, going on m
A Perfidious Relationship Twisted emotions
"I don't know about, what Chloe thinks it feels, I have nothing to do with her feelings but I could assure you for Duke. He is a demon with brain and no heart, he is least capable of reciprocating her feelings. So, it'll be good for her, not to expect something from my soldier."Enzo said in a warning tone and I could only feel bad for Chloe. I didn't know, what all parts, he spoke about Duke, we're correct, but if anyone, amongst us knew him well enough was Enzo. Duke wasn't only his soldier, he was like a brother to him, according to how I've seen him, treat Duke differently than his any other soldier. He trusted him with his life. And Duke deserved that trust, that makes him all more dangerous."Maybe. But I think I've seen him act differently around Chloe. You think, there could be a change in his feelings?"I asked, I knew Duke was treacherous but I still felt for Chloe's, one sided feelings. I was not willing to give up yet.&n
A Perfidious Relationship Tougher than I thought
"Hi!"I said with a smile."Hey! You know, we had a great time today."She said before I could even ask for it, her eyes sparkled as she was jogging the memory of it."Yeah about that...."I started but she interrupted me."Take a seat and I'll tell you about it."She said as she excitedly arranged my chair in it's place and gestured me to sit. I did."I think my feelings aren't one sided for Duke. Maybe he also has some emotions for me."She started and I felt bad for the innocent Chloe. If one was to believe Enzo then Duke wasn't capable of such emotions as Chloe exclaimed and I pity Chloe for falling for a wrong man, just like I did and I wanted to help her out before it was too late."How so?"I asked. I wanted to know about the time they spent together before I could sta
A Perfidious Relationship The meeting
Benjamin was standing right at the door and greater me with a warm smile as he saw me. I reciprocated the action and was about to say something when he moved aside and I saw Alantino Russo sitting on of the chairs in our conference table. He was sitting so casually as if he was the owner of this property. The fuck was he doing here? My blood boiled seeing him and there was no way, I was going to spare him for this audacity. I walked right past Benjamin, I didn't care about him anymore."How dare you enter my property?! Get out!"I commanded but he didn't budge. Just smirked."What's the matter Valerie? Calm down. It's me who invited him here."Benjamin stated to my shock. Was he crazy to invite Alantino here? He already knew about our messed relationship. Yet he acted as if he didn't know anything."What? Why have you called him here?"Was my obvious question, I lo

"We don't care about whatever business you are establishing in Milan. It's not my fucking territory and I don't care whatever happens here, Milan for me is only limited to Rexivo. So, I don't see any point why you decided to organise this meeting here and that too in our presence."Enzo retaliated and for once Benjamin listened without interrupting."I am interested to do this illegal racing business with you and Alantino. You are stronger in southern Italy where the young inducted soldiers would be willing to take part in such racings. But as Milan is the common interest of illegal businesses and investors for it I would like to establish it here, instead of southern Italy."Benjamin said calmly as if he was the most polite man here. We better knew the truth!"And how the hell is it gonna be advantageous for me?"The question proved Enzo was considering the idea of Benjamin.

"You should be sleeping now, you already had alcohol and I remember you refused to have champagne in your wedding, saying, you don't consume any alcoholic thing. When did you start drinking alcohol?"She asked in a solemn tone. She was worried at my situation, I wondered how pathetic I must have looked for her to be this concerned for my alcohol consumption."I still don't usually drink alcohol, this was the second time I did."I told her and a realisation struck her as her expression changed and gave me an encouraging smile."You've been through a lot Valerie but you must choose your ways wisely. Alcohol will only make ugh distracted from your goals and attracted to it."She explained to me as she helped me wipe my makeup off and undo my hairs."Mrs Russo...

A Perfidious Relationship A genuine person
Mrs Russo helped me reach my home and I was feeling much better in the silence. She put her hand on my head and smoothened my hairs. Then gently sat beside me on the bed."Are you okay Valerie?"She asked gently with a motherly love, that I almost felt like hugging her and crying all my problems out. The void was so filled with depression. I was tired of all this, I didn't want to fight anymore but I couldn't even step back now. How many things would I have deal to survive in this world? I wanted to live not just survive."Not really."I answered in a hushed tone. I wasn't sure what to say, to tell her his son was the ultimate reason of all my suffering? Or should I tell her that her husband was the worst man I've ever seen? I couldn't, she was being nice to me and I couldn't take that for granted. I know she could only help me till she saw no threat in me but if I started making her familiar with my rea

A Perfidious Relationship The punishment
"What are you doing Alantino? He's the son of one of our underbosses."Mr Russo reminded him but his expressions remained same. Deadly."He dared to touch Valerie."He said in a voice that would make anyone tremble out of fear and many of the people gathered around dance floor were already frightened. No-one would want to get their name associated with what that guy had been doing with me. And I could see many of them had already made a distance from me."That doesn't mean you'll beat him to death."Said Mr Russo as he gave a disgusted look towards the man lying on the floor drenched in blood. Then another disgusted look at my way."What did he exactly do?"He asked me and was he fucking kidding me, by asking me in what way did the man harass me, in front of everyone?"What did he do Valerie?"He asked again

"You look fabulous, Valerie!"Complimented Mrs Russo, who herself looked epitome of charisma. She always managed to look so effortlessly beautiful, she had a great sense in fashion."You look stunning! "I couldn't stop myself from complimenting her, she looked so gorgeous."Should we have something to drink, dear?"She asked and I knew her drink meant having to join other ladies, wives of mafia men."Yeah sure."I said despite the urge of not wanting to face those trophy wives who had poor ideologies of a lady and I certainly did not wanted to be their next target to have tea about. But then, Mrs Russo was the only person that would be easy to go with and I couldn't possibly be alone throughout the whole party.Mrs Russo directed me towards a group of ladies siting around the table, drinking and laughing and gossiping...

we went inside the hotel and to the hall where party was meant to be."whose party is this?"I asked trying to know about the people I was surrounded with."It's the eighteenth birthday party of the only daughter of our enforcer."Alantino answered."Do mafia people even celebrate birthday of their daughters? I thought the only celebration for them was the induction day of their sons."I said the bitter truth of our world."True but our enforcer seem to love her daughter and he is not the only one who feels that way, there are many fathers in our world too who loves their daughters, sometimes more than their sons."His words made me think about a men that I have came across who loved his daughter as Alantino was saying, but I couldn't even remember of a single man with that quality.
