Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 57
I wouldn't describe the morning as a pleasant one because it actually wasn't. My body ached in all places but I managed to get out of bed. I wore a striped jacket across my short leather gown and walked out of Luciano's room before he could come in. The morning breeze blew my hair backward and I regretted not packing my hair into a bun. I bumped into Luciano outside and he held my hand when I was about to walk past him. "I'm sorry," I apologized for no reason and he tightened his grip around my fragile wrist. His face was straight and devoid of every form of a smile. "You should go back and rest," Luciano said to me and I struggled to free my hand from him. I wasted a lot of energy as my efforts became futile. "I don't want to go back, I'm there. I have things to do," I refused and he clicked his tongue against his teeth. "I do not want to be hard on you, Amara. You should go in there and rest," he responded, almost yelling at me. He said my
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 58
Some things can't be controlled, no matter how hard you try. For three days in a row, I have seen Dee. We talked, played, joked and I loved every moment of it. My heart flutters each time he gives me that smile and I couldn't help but be more comfortable around him. I loved the way his hands went around my body. I yearn for his touch in a subtle manner and he knows what to do to make me happy. He touches me and respects me at the same time. Is that not what every sane lady desires? I love the way his lips move whenever he calls me beautiful. The way he seeks for my consent before cuddling me. 'Who would not want a gentle man?' I can't stop my heart from feeling this way. I can't stop the spark in my body. I can't stop the butterflies, nor can I stop myself from having goosebumps whenever he is around me. Lately, Luciano has not been coming back to his room. I loved it. I can breathe in fresh air and have some peace. Besides, I won't feel comfortable b
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 59
Slipping my legs into my silver heels, I was preparing my mind for running on the treadmill. I couldn't feel any spark of excitement within me neither was I nervous. I could vividly remember the warning in Luciano's speech. He sounded worried but he fought hard to tame it. I noticed either way. He was acting all over protective about me getting orders from the same man. Most of the time, he acts like he doesn't care about me. But, I could feel it somewhere within me that he is just trying to hide it. "You are nothing but a commodity!" his hoarse voice resounded in my ear drums and I held my ears tightly. That voice kept coming over and over again. No matter how hard I tried to keep me away. I became pissed. Sometimes, I wonder if he is always in his right senses. Even though loving me is out of context, sometimes your use of words should not be triggering. I'm a human for God's sake. Not a commodity! I would love to see the look on his face when I rev
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 60
A spark of fire was felt through my body. I grinned from ear to ear as I checked myself one more time. I was filled with so much energy and I loved it when I felt this way. With so much excitement and enthusiasm, I ran off to the room. My eyes scanned the room and I discovered that I got there before my client. My countenance changed and I played with my fingers. I saw a shadow move past me and a strange figure behind me. I turned to see who it was and Dee smiled passionately at me. He stretched out his hands for a hug and I fell into his huge arms. He hugged me tight and I planted a kiss on his lips. He responded to the kiss and I felt my heart leap for joy. I could not believe that I kissed him first. I also could not tell why I kissed him. One thing for sure is that I loved it. "Hey, baby," he sweetly talked to me and my cheeks flushed. "Hi," I responded, looking at the sparkles in his eyes. "Can I dance for you?" I asked and I released myself from
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 61
The light flashed at my face as my ears stood erect. My chest was already freezing because of the cold hard floor. I battled with the cold and the hard floor but Luciano didn't seem to care. That asshole had me sleeping on the floor because I defiled him just once? That's so unfair! I can't have him bathe me again so I rather freeze to death. Luciano's loud voice echoed tremendously in the room, causing my head to ache. He was talking so loud which made me wonder if the person was far away from him. Why talk so loudly disturbing my sleep when the person who you are talking with is right beside you? "The lady's wear should be kept," he said to the person and the sleep left my eyes. My eyes became clear all of a sudden and I waited for the next thing he was to say. I pretended to be asleep so that he wouldn't have something to say about me. What is he doing with a lady's wear though and who was he talking with? Luciano is full of surprises and my
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 62
I thought Luciano hated me but that was an understatement clearly. If there was any word worse than detest, that would be it. What else would make him refuse to give me a day off after sustaining injuries from my fight? Why else would he pair me up to fight with the best two fighters, (who I absolutely hate by the way), in one day of training. "Fuck," I groaned, as I put on my stripping outfit and heels getting ready for my night shift. I was late already but I couldn't care less, it was Dee Afterall, he was kind. Even if it wasn't, he had no choice but to wait. I wouldn't hurt myself just to please someone. After putting on my very uncomfortable heels, I made my way to the black room, sighing every single step of the way. Deep down, I wished something would happen, good or bad, I didn't care as long as I broke free from Lu's bondage. My only consolation right now was that I wasn't going to meet a random stranger. At least, that's what I know. Dee could have c
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 63
My back hurts. I stretched, waking up from sleep. I removed the mask on my face to see Luciano getting dressed in a nice grey suit. It was just 6 am in the morning, I wondered where he was headed in a suit this early morning. Normal Luciano would sleep in till around 9 am. Unlike before, I no longer cared. I was happy he was leaving early, I couldn't stand having him around anymore especially now that I was with Dee, it felt awkward with Lu now. I sat up gently but made some noise which made him turn. "You're up," he said, taking me in his arms gently. I was a bit reluctant, I no longer enjoyed his company. "What are you doing?" He asked. Luciano tried to kiss me, but I kept moving my face away. Despite my efforts, he persisted and eventually managed to force a kiss on me, biting my lips in the process. "Fucking as...," I said, releasing myself from his grip. He sounded like he heard me almost call him an asshole but he ignored that too.
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 64
Luciano's POV "I said, I won't go with you," Amara snapped at Raul who looked all confused at her behavior. Damn, that petite sweet can be a handful sometimes. Well, This was exactly what I had expected. Amara refuses to follow Raul. No matter what he told her, she stood her ground and didn't move an inch. My heart was gladdened because I already informed the man to carry her. I readjusted myself on my seat while I watched them through the laptop. The one place my eyes were fixed on was where Raul's hand was placed. Raul tried carrying her and his hand was below the butt. I watched him keenly, trying to see what he would do next. "Well, it's none of my business if he touches her. I mean, she is nothing to me," I shrugged and took my eyes off the screen for a while. Deep down, I knew this was all a lie. Amara wasn't just anybody to me but I can't bring myself to the truth. They say the truth hurts. That's what it is in my case. I glanced a

EpilogueLuciano's POV I tossed on my shirt and stood up from the bed. While heading for the door, I wondered what good news Dante talked about. Presently, I didn't believe that good things could happen to me with how the events were turning out slowly. My life was already a wreck and I felt that nothing else could make it worse. "What's the news?" I asked tiredly, not even sparing him a glance as we made our way to the office. Discussing with my workers wasn't something I did in my bedroom. I felt that it was too private, and I didn't want anyone to feel special just because we conversed in my chambers. "I don't know how to say this," He chewed on his lips which irritated me. "Dante, I don't want to imagine that you made me leave the comfort of my bedroom just so you could show me how nervous you can be," I barked and he shook his head in disagreement. My patience was waning and I was ready to unleash my pent up anger on him if he wasted my time. "Dee has woken up from coma b
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 196
Luciano's POV Arianna's smile was still imprinted in my mind, leaving me to ponder on why she was acting like a good person. I guessed that it was the help I rendered towards her, but I couldn't help but doubt her intention towards my son and I. Immediately we were done with the party, I headed for Amara's room to check on her hoping that she would be feeling better already. I knocked on the wooden door and got in after hearing her muffled reply. Walking in to meet her taking a gulp of orange juice from her cup had me smiling. Her eyes scrutinized me with a strange calmness then lowered towards what I had in my hands.A polythene bag which had a plate in it. I brought fruit salad for her since it had a good taste and it was nice for pregnant women. "What are you doing here?" She asked when I was done being searched. "I came to see you since you refused to attend Gio's birthday," I queried and narrowed my eyes expecting an apology but her nonchalant look threw me off balance. "Ho
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 195
Luciano's POV The house was bubbling with excitement. It was Gio's birthday and not only was he celebrating a new age, he was going to be inducted into the mafia as a Made man fully. The latter part of the celebration didn't sit well with me because I didn't want him to have anything to with the Familia. It was just too dangerous and I wanted everything to end with me. I took a stroll around the hall to be sure that everything was in place. Though I was sure that Raul had done a good job, I still didn't feel comfortable just sitting around and making people do things for me. Different kinds of aroma hit my nostrils from makeshift kitchen near the hall where the party would take place. I was almost tempted to enter the kitchen and serve myself some food. I was disrupted from my stroll by a shrill cry that sounded from the hallway. I casted a glance at the direction of the noise and I found Shuri running away from Gio. "Be careful!" I let out a warning when Shuri almost tripped, b
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 194
Luciano's POV A knock sounded on my door immediately I dropped my phone on the wooden table and sat on the executive chair. It was another day, which meant that I had been given the opportunity to right my wrongs. "Come in," I ordered using my boss' tone. Things were slowly returning back to normal and I didn't expect any retaliation from Massimo's men. They were like sheeps without a shepherd and if he was truly dead, then I'd have to take over his territory. Gio sauntered into my office with a smile plastered on his lips. "What do you want?" My voice came out harshly, though I intended that it sounded nice and warm.He didn't care because his smile only widened. "I like the new father I'm seeing. I wish you'll continue to be like this and nothing will go wrong,"I shrugged in uncertainty. Gio was happy and I knew that Shuri felt the same way. I only hoped that I wouldn't mess things up later. "What will you do with Amara and Shuri?" He asked. "I'm still thinking about that. A
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 193
Luciano's POV For the first time in my life, I felt like I did everything right then wrong at the same time. My life was no longer the same with the kind of confusion that had taken a permanent place in my mind. I was so sure that I shot Massimo in the face, but his body was nowhere to be found. That fact alone should have disturbed me because it was common amongst us. Hiding people's body wasn't difficult for me, but I was just taken aback by the speed at which he was taken.I shook the thoughts off my head and went in search of Amara. She was the only one that kept me sane at such trying period. I didn't care if she was going to reject me again, I just wanted to know that her and my baby were fine. "Amara, can I come in?" I asked after knocking twice without getting any response. I smirked when I remembered how I used to barge into her room but now, she had to grant me permission or I'd stay outside for hours. "You can come in," Came her raspy voice. I didn't hesitate in goin
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 192
Luciano's POV My eyes blinked incessantly when I realized that I had shot Massimo. I lost the firm grip I had on my gun and I didn't bother picking it up when it fell. This wasn't me. I was always in control and never scared of killing. Seeing dead bodies and weak people plead for mercy before I cut off their heads or pulled a bullet through their heads was fun for me. So why did this feel different? I didn't regret any action I took but right now, I felt like turning the hands of time so I could make things right. I walked briskly towards him to know if he was still breathing but since he laid on his face, I couldn't risk it. Arianna who looked like she was about to faint held my hands while I dragged her away from him. If I couldn't do anything for Massimo, then I could channel my help towards Arianna and her son. "I feel so weak," She whispered and rested her head on my shoulder. "You'll be fine," I grumbled and she nodded. Her unsteady steps slowed me so I placed her on ba
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 191
Luciano's POV Sleep eluded me as I tossed restlessly on the bed. It was impossible for me to sleep with the thoughts that burdened my mind. My life was a wreck and so was the fate of my family. I sighed and got up from the bed and headed for the window to feed my eyes with the buildings that were lit up with lights. The street was quiet but it did nothing to calm me. I'd made a mistake by not listening to Obinna. He was right when he suggested that I take Shuri and Amara out of the house. Nowhere was safe anymore, not even my own house. Everyday, people did things to remind me that I should always have eyes everywhere or I'd die like a piece of shit. Massimo's face popped in my head as I thought of what to do to him. Though he had caused a lot of problems and unrest in my family, I took a bigger portion of the blame. Because of me my mother was killed and my father was kidnapped for several years. Alita killed herself because I'd turned into a monste
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 190
Luciano's POV Zino Alonso was kept in another room in my mansion. I didn't trust him to be treated outside my watch. I was still trying to come to terms with the fact that the man I had buried was still alive. Another surprising fact was that Dee kidnapped him. Father had really underestimated Dee's ability. He was smart but he lacked the brutality that was needed to operate in our world. My gaze lingered on the man who called himself my father and my mind was flooded with several memories of how he treated my brother and I. Dee always thought that our father loved me more than him, what he didn't know was that our father was a sadistic bastard who only cared about his ego and business. He gave me several dirty tasks and if I failed any of them, he'd make sure I was tortured till I became unconscious. I remembered a day when he gave me the worst punishment of my life than toughened me. That afternoon, he called me into his office. He was on edge for reasons I couldn't fathom and
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 189
Luciano's POV The room was extremely quiet, for which I was grateful. Amara had kept me on edge with her suicidal talks. She didn't feel excited to be back to me which made me wonder why it was so. I knew she loved me but a lot of things had happened between her and Dee. I was supposed to be repulsed by her, instead, I was drawn to her more than ever and wanted to protect her from any predator at all cause. My mind flashed back to the moment Amara was shot. I was still sad that Dee was shot even though he had been a pain in my neck. The moment he held Amara's neck and threatened to kill her, I knew that my brother had gotten more vulnerable than ever. And it was also surprising that Jordan put a bullet through him. They loved each other and it was surprising that Jordan would betray someone he loved so much. I strolled towards the wallpaper that covered the door to the secret room and stared at the patterns distractedly. "Isn't it for the best that I marry Amara? At least she w
