Massimo “Why is she taking so long?” I ask Marion, who has brought me a glass of water while I wait for Lilibeth, who is a few minutes late and hasn’t come down yet.“I don’t know, sir. She might not be much longer. Oh, look, she’s coming down now. She looks truly beautiful, Miss.” I turn when she says this, and indeed, she is right; Lilibeth looks stunning.“Thank you, Mrs. Marion.” She smiles warmly, while I am mesmerized watching her descend the stairs.Tonight, Lilibeth is wearing an emerald green dress (which contrasts beautifully with her fair skin) with one long sleeve and a single shoulder. The upper part appears to have embroidered flowers with black details on an almost translucent fabric that reveals a bra in the same color as the dress. The lower part of the dress opens into a wide skirt, showing off her entire right leg thanks to a slit. She wears matching golden shoes and a handbag, and everything about her is perfection. I can’t help but feel uneasy, thinking about how
We get in the car and during the whole ride, he says nothing, but I can feel he's quite angry. We arrive at the house and to my surprise, he lets me go without saying another word. I quickly go up to my room where Mia is already waiting for me, helping me get rid of this dress. Before going to sleep, I decide to take a shower as I feel my body is permeated with the smell of tobacco. After a quick shower, I dry my hair and put on a red silk nightgown, then get into bed.MassimoWhen I see Renzo approaching her and the way he places his lips on her hand, indescribable jealousy invades me. So, I decide to take her in my arms and kiss her to show everyone present that nobody messes with Carluccio's woman. After arguing with her that both Renzo and I only want to take her to our bed, I see clearly that she's furious. I decide it's time to return home. We don't speak to each other in the car, and when we arrive, she quickly goes up to her room. I, on the other hand, head to take a shower to
When I wake up, I find myself in the back of a car and recognize that we are still in the parking lot of the mall. The men who attacked me are not inside, so I try to open the door to get out, but they've locked me in. Through the window, I see them talking on the phone with someone, perhaps waiting for instructions. When I realize they are approaching, I pretend to be asleep, hearing the sound of two doors opening, one on my side and the other on the driver's side."She's still asleep, no need to worry, but we need to get rid of her soon. Remember, the boss wants to see her dead body.""And what if we have some fun with her?" Asks the other man, making me tense up even more.When one of them is about to get close to me, I kick him so hard that he falls and hits his head. I don't waste time and start running towards the exit. The other guy quickly reacts and starts chasing me."Come back here, you damned witch!" He shouts, catching up to me and yanking my hair, making me scream in pai
I arrived to my room, but she is still asleep due to the sedative Carlo gave her. I take a quick shower and ask Mia to change her clothes. I bring my son, and the three of us sleep in the same bed.LilibethWhen I wake up, I feel my body aching, along with my neck and face. Then I remember everything that happened the day before and I get scared because I'm not in my room. I feel an arm around my body, and when I turn around, I see Massimo and Alex deeply asleep. I realize we are in Massimo's room, who is holding us tightly against his body.I try to get up slowly so as not to wake them, but I fail as Massimo wakes up and, noticing that it was me who woke him up, he brings me closer to them. He caresses my face with his hand, and I close my eyes for a moment, savoring this gesture."How do you feel?" He asks, still a little sleepy."Fine, but my whole body hurts." I reply with a slightly hoarse voice."It was to be expected after all the blows you took, but don't worry, those men will
LilibethI couldn't resist any longer and gave in to my desire to be with Massimo. Although I initially hated him for keeping me here against my will, the fact that he took care of me when I was in danger made me realize my feelings for him. I still remember the first time I saw him and how a magnetic attraction united our gazes. From that moment, I knew he was the man I wanted for myself.It has been two weeks since I gave myself to Massimo, and I notice he has changed a lot towards me. Every day when I wake up, I'm alone in the room since he gets up before dawn. At night, I'm already asleep by the time he comes home. A part of me fears that what that woman at the mall said might be true—that Massimo only wanted to get me into his bed, and now that he has succeeded, he has lost interest in me.I am still thinking about this when Mia enters the room to inform me that we will have a guest for dinner tonight and we need to be presentable before eight. After delivering the message, she l
I approach her, who looks at me defiantly. I grab her by the arms and push her onto the bed, where she falls on her back.“You're hurting me, Massimo. Let me go!” She shouts, but I settle on top of her, not letting go of her arms, as I start kissing her neck, soaking in her pleasant cherry scent.Today she's wearing a summer dress, and I slowly lower the top part, revealing her bare breasts, as she's not wearing a bra. I kiss and suck her left nipple, making it hard, then continue with the right one. Even though she tries to deny it, I know she also wants me to make her mine. I notice how her body reacts to my touch. I continue moving my head down, kissing her body through the fine fabric of her dress until I position myself between her legs and slowly spread them, not letting go of her arms, feeling her slightly tremble at my caresses.With my free hand, I lift her dress and pull down her already damp panties. I place my mouth on her intimacy, and my tongue works wonders inside her,
I have started making preparations for my wedding with Lilibeth. Even though it will be something intimate and only a civil ceremony, I want her to have a beautiful memory of our union. However, given all the problems I've had lately with my merchandise shipments, it's impossible for me to talk to her about the wedding details.I have realized that for months now, I have been robbed of large amounts of both money and the merchandise we traffic. Therefore, I can no longer trust my partners much; they all turn out to be the same in the end—rats who only want to seize the power I possess. I have arranged to meet some of my partners at the club "The Underworld," a place where many of us mafiosi gather to make certain pacts. Since Lilibeth spends most of her time at the mansion taking care of Alexandre, I decided she should come with me, so they also know that from now on, she will be Carluccio's woman and, therefore, deserves respect.I asked Mia to buy her a dress suitable for the place
I’m in my office reviewing some information Pietro managed to find out about Katherina’s murder. From what I see, it was something planned for a long time. They had been following her and, as if that weren't enough, one of her men helped carry out the crime. As soon as I find him, I’ll deal with him myself. As I keep reading, I find something that makes me even more furious: they had the firm intention of killing Alexandre as well. I let out a scream of frustration and throw my whiskey glass to the other side of the room, shattering it against one of the walls.I raise my arms to my head, thinking about everything that has happened. Even though I no longer loved Katherina, she was the mother of my child, the woman who gave me the greatest gift, and now my poor little one will grow up without his mother’s love. I know Lilibeth will be a good mother to him, but I don’t think it will be the same. I’m still lost in my thoughts when there’s a knock on the door.“Come in.” I look up and the
When she hears me say this, her body tenses, and she starts crying harder than before. I lead her to one of the chairs and gently sit her down.“What happened to her face?” I inquire after a while, lifting her face a little.“What happened to you, sweetheart?” My father-in-law asks, approaching her, and when his fingers touch his wife’s cheek, she swats his hand away.“Don’t touch me.” She replies without looking at him.I see the pain in Liza’s father’s eyes at his wife’s attitude. He lowers his hand but stays by our side, holding back the urge to hug her.“After Stefano left the house, about half an hour later, Lieutenant Barone arrived. Apparently, he had a warrant for Stefano’s arrest because they had discovered everything about his business, but the way he was acting wasn’t normal.“When our men noticed that he started circling the whole property, Mich advised me not to let them in, and that’s what we did. But suddenly, they started attacking us, managing to break through the gat
Once again, I find myself in the cemetery, a place that has become so familiar to me that my chest tightens with the loss I am facing at this moment. I lower my gaze and observe the white rose I hold in my hand, as I feel a single tear escape from my eye. With the same hand holding the rose, I quickly wipe it away, knowing that the person I am now saying goodbye to would not want to see me in this state.After five long years, Giuseppe Lombardi left us to reunite with his son, whom he has longed for all these years. If it weren't for my mother, who became like a daughter to him, the sadness that overwhelmed him might have taken him sooner.I look around, and both my mother and my sisters are devastated by his loss, but I know they also find peace in having been with him in his last days. Next to me, holding my hand as she always has, is my beloved wife Yelizaveta, and at our feet are our children, little Renzo and little Laryssa.As the priest finishes the last words of farewell, my m
We take the elevator down as quickly as we can, and when we reach the parking lot, I head straight to one of the trucks that’s still there without wasting any time."We won’t take long; it’s about thirty minutes from here." I inform them as I get into the truck, buckle my seatbelt, and then floor the accelerator.The drive to my old home passes in a blink, and when we arrive, I see that only a few walls have remained standing over all these years. I turn off the engine and grab one of the guns from under the seat."I want you to stay here until Bellini and Flavio arrive.""We're not staying. We said we'd come with you, and that's what we're doing." Yasha contradicts me, gritting her teeth."Absolutely not. You'll stay here until the rest of my men arrive."I get out before they can argue, pass through the open gates, and barely take two steps before some men appear in front of me. I fire my gun, but just as I'm about to hit another one of them, I see him fall to the ground. I don’t ne
Yelizaveta Little by little, I open my eyes and feel a bit disoriented, not knowing where I am. I shake my head, and when I finally manage to focus, I look around and realize I’m in some sort of abandoned warehouse. But strangely enough, I’m alone—or at least I think I am.Everything is so confusing that every time I try to remember what happened, my head aches a little. When small scenes of what happened this morning finally come to mind, a shiver runs through me. All those trucks blocking our way, my father’s men trying to protect me, the ones from bombon following us, and that girl, screaming my name before being hit and losing consciousness.I try to touch my head where I was struck hard enough to knock me out, but I realize that I’m tied to a chair. Just as I’m about to move it, I hear unfamiliar voices.“They hit her pretty hard.” Shouts a man, followed by a thud. I try to turn my head to see where it’s coming from, but I can’t, so I listen closely to their conversation.“I’m s
Alexandre “Boss, Mr. Belucci is outside and insists on speaking with you.” One of my men informs me. I set aside the documents I’m reading, somewhat confused by the visit from Liza’s father.“Let him in, please.” My man steps aside, and I see Mr. Belucci enter, clearly upset. He looks around as if searching for someone until he finally fixes his gaze on me.“Where is Yelizaveta?” He asks angrily.“I’m sorry, father-in-law, but Liza and I didn’t plan to meet today. I haven’t seen her in days.”“T-that can’t be possible. She told me she was coming to see you and left the house at noon, and she hasn’t returned. It’s already past midnight.” I check the time on my computer and realize she’s been missing for over twelve hours. I jump up from my seat, grab my phone, and try to reach her. “She’s not answering; we’ve been trying for hours.” He says, his voice trembling slightly.“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” I ask, frustrated. “What exactly did she say before leaving the house?”“One of yo
Alexandre "For several days now, you've been acting a bit strange. What's bothering you, Alexandre?" Inquires Flavio as soon as he notices my expression.I turn my chair, let out a deep sigh, and gaze out over all of Liguria in an attempt to clear my mind of so many problems. After a brief pause, I decide to speak."Someone blew up Liza's father's ship a few days ago. Apparently, they had a very valuable cargo that was about to be shipped to Russia. This was a significant loss for both my father-in-law and his partner.""And how does that affect you?" Bellini asks. "Don't tell me the bastard dared to blame you?" He growls furiously.I can't help but laugh. When I turn my chair back around to face them, I shake my head."Why am I not surprised you think that of my father-in-law?""Maybe because the idiot is capable of that and more." Bellini retorts, glaring at me."Only because Liza isn't here will I agree with you, but in front of her, I never will. So, you know, Bellini, keep your
Yelizaveta As soon as we got into the SUV of my bonbon to head to his mansion, I heard his parents begin to argue in hushed tones, trying not to be noticed."Can I ask why you didn't intervene, Massimo?" Mrs. Lilibeth inquired, and from the tone of her voice, I could tell she was a little upset with her husband."Little shrew, you were handling it wonderfully; you didn't need me at any point. Besides, I love seeing you in that mama bear mode." Mr. Massimo replied, giving her a quick kiss on the lips. I immediately turned my face away so they wouldn't think I was eavesdropping, but I continued to listen to their conversation anyway."I don't like the way he talks to Alex." She said, lowering her voice a bit more."I know, little shrew, but Alex accepted it all along and didn't say anything. What can we do? Nothing.""It's not your fault, honey." My bonbon murmured, wrapping his arm around my waist. Apparently, I wasn't the only one who had overheard them arguing."I'm sorry! It's just
Fabrizio “If you're here, it's because you need to tell me something. What is it?” I ask without looking up from my work.“Our men reported that Carluccio just arrived at the Belucci mansion with his parents. They believe they are there to make their relationship official.”“With a demon!” I explode angrily, hitting my desk, “this can't be happening.”I get up from my seat and start pacing around my office, thinking of the best way to prevent that engagement from happening at all costs.“I want you to blow up the shipment waiting at the port.” I order, stopping my steps.“H-how?”“Are you an idiot? Do I need to repeat my orders twice?”“I’m sorry, boss, it’s just that it will be a significant loss for both you and Belucci.”“That loss is nothing compared to what I stand to gain by keeping Yelizaveta away from Carluccio.”“Should I ask our men to abandon the ship?”“No, sometimes it’s worth making certain sacrifices to achieve a greater good. I want that ship to blow up within ten min
Alexandre "I don't understand what you mean, bonbon." Says Liza with a slight frown. In front of us, I hear Brianna chuckle, but I ignore her."Yes, bonbon, explain to us." Brianna chimes in with a malicious smile."Brianna!" I scold her, because I am sure that now that she knows what Liza calls me, it will be impossible for her to stop calling me that."You're so boring." I see grandpa give her a conspiratorial look, and I shake my head."Baby doll, let your brother explain." My father intervenes. Brianna makes a little pout and falls silent, still hugging grandpa."Liza's father must have his own hangar. I know that if we talk to him and explain the situation, he could help us. Besides, we can get grandpa out through the tunnels in the house. That's what I can think of for now.""And will your girlfriend's father agree?" My father asks, not very convinced."It's possible, though I'm not quite sure.""Don't worry, bonbon, I'll talk to him.""I think it's best if Massimo and I go and
