Ch. 30: Symbol of Relationship

last update Last Updated: 2025-01-26 20:51:41

Astrella's point of view

We were now walking through a peaceful national park. After exploring some trails, we came across a beautiful farm full of life, with horses grazing lazily in the fields, chickens clucking away, and ducks waddling near a small pond. Fresh hay and dirt smelled in the air, which made me feel strangely at ease.

Watching a group of ducklings follow their mother, Dax's phone buzzed. I looked at him right away as he casually took the phone out of his pocket. While he read the message, his face was blank; his brow didn't pucker or lift in response.

"Who's that?" I asked, tilting my head curiously. It wasn’t like I was trying to pry into his personal matters. I was just mildly intrigued.

He slipped his phone back into the pocket of his leather jacket with a nonchalant shrug. “Grace.”

My brows went up, and I became very interested. “What did she say?”

He didn’t answer. Instead, he reached out and ruffled my hair like I was some mischievous child.

    Astrella's point of view Another week flew by so fast, and now we’re got ready to return to the city. Dax and I have spent a lot of time getting to know each other, but there is still something about him that I have not been able to grasp. However, that is not a problem. At the very least, I have been able to see a different side of him, the side that he allows me to see. I will not ask for anything else. The most important thing is that we are finally getting along.I have truly enjoyed my time here, especially the time I spent with Grandma. The countryside is calm, which is a sharp contrast to the chaos that awaits us when we return to the city. Yet, Dax's world is meant to remain there, with all of the responsibilities weighing down on him.I inhale deeply, bracing myself for what’s to come. Before we left, he told me he’d give me a gun, one I could hide on my thigh for protection. I smirked at the thought. He’s not worried I might use it on him. Then again, even if I did, I doubt

    Dax Donomie's point of view "Any progress with Astrella's parents?" I asked Silvio over the phone, pinching the bridge of my nose as frustration coiled through my veins. "Oh, yeah. We found them. Actually, Fabio and I are already heading to their location," Silvio snapped and pause for a moment. "But there's a problem. The shipment arrives today. Fabio and I can't be in two places at once, hmmm. You just got back to the city, right? You can head straight to the south port and take care of the shipment." I shut my eyes, inhaling deeply to keep from cursing him out. "Are you fvcking kidding me? Damn. That shipment is important." I spat at him. I just got back, and he conveniently forgot to inform me about this in advance? And worse. I was with Astrella. This was one of the things I hadn’t told her yet. Yes, she knew about the Martinelli Security Firm, but this? This was beyond dangerous. More dangerous than running a high-end security business. She wasn’t stupid. She probably

  • Betrayed In The Mafia's Bed    Ch. 33: Shipment

    Dax Donomie's point of view If looks could kill, we would already be drowning in our own blood. Every action was planned, and and every step was taken carefully. We had put a lot of thought into an arrangement that would allow us to move important items across borders without being detected, but somehow, this motherfucker Jasper had discovered it. In what way? "What now? We could just talk about this, you know," Jasper shouted out, his voice filled with excitement. I snorted, not impressed at all. I gave one of my men a slight nod to let him know that they should be prepared. We were both aware that this conversation was not going to be fair. Jasper and I were quite similar; we were both manipulative, crafty, and always looking for ways to get an advantage in the long run. The only thing that set me apart was that I played to win. "Fvcking dickhead, get down here," I growled, my jaw tightening. "Don't be so damn proud of yourself." Jasper chuckled. "Sure. Give me a minute."

    Astrella's point of view After Dax left, I chose to look around a bit. I asked a staff member if Dax has a private room here. I was surprised that they gave directions right away without any hesitation. I was thinking Dax had already told them to help me with anything I needed. They were all nice, professional, and unexpectedly friendly, not at all the unfriendly type I thought I would find here. One of them escorted me to his room, stopping at the door before giving me a small nod and walking away. I murmured a quick thank you before stepping inside, curiosity getting the best of me. As soon as I walked in, I was enveloped by the prominent fragrance of Dax, which was full of variety clean, and intoxicating. His room looked just how I pictured it: sleek, tidy, and effortlessly masculine. The color scheme was made up of mostly gray and black, which gave it a subtle but powerful vibe. A black rug was on the floor close to his bed, and a dark hardwood table was nearby with a laptop

    Astrella's point of view The only noise in the room was the constant sound of water pouring down from the shower. Dax was still inside, cleaning the blood and sweat off of himself after the horrible experience he had just gone through. However, I was unable to concentrate on that because my phone lit up again, sending a new surge of panic through my body. With trembling fingers, I unlocked the screen and opened the message. An image. My heart sank. It was my sister. The image was taken only a little while ago when we were FaceTiming. I could still picture her in my head, smiling and mocking, fully oblivious to the fact that someone had been watching her. Was close enough to take this picture. I rechecked the image, searching for any sign that it was fake, that this was some kind of sick trick. But no. It was real. I started to panic, and my breathing became shallow and my chest felt tight. They had her in their sights. I made my fists into tight balls and tried to think.

    Astrella's point of view I groaned as I stretched, my back aching slightly. Dax hadn't let me go until I was on the brink of passing out last night, and now my body was feeling the aftermath. My eyes fluttered open, instinctively searching for him beside me, but the space was empty. A pang of disappointment hit my gut. Waking up without him felt wrong. Where did he go? With a deep sigh, I pushed myself up, shaking off the lazy feeling weighing me down. I headed straight to the bathroom to freshen up, letting the warm water wash away the soreness. After my shower, I stepped out, only a towel wrapped around my body. It was then that I realized. I didn’t have any clothes here. "Shít," I muttered under my breath, scanning the room for anything I could wear. That’s when my gaze landed on a paper bag sitting on the table, a folded note resting on top of it. Curious, I walked over, picking up the note first. 'For you.' It was so simple that he didn't even provide my na

    Dax Donomie's point of view. After Astrella and Xanthe left, I turned to Silvio. "Gather all the troops in the basement meeting room. We need to tighten security at the firm." We were all on edge after last night’s fvcking show, and while Astrella had no business getting tangled in our mafia affairs, I figured she could keep busy with my new Capo for now. Xanthe wasn’t just a soldier. I trusted him like a brother. If anyone could keep an eye on her, it was him. Silvio, the jackass that he is, leaned back with a smirk. "You sure you don’t wanna call your Capo back? What’s the use of his position then? I think he’s officially been promoted to Nanny-in-Chief, watching over your Honey like a damn babysitter." He howled like a lunatic. I shot him a warning glare, gripping the knife on the table just to make a point. He raised his hands in mock surrender. "Relax, Donomie. No need to go full psycho on me." My phone buzzed with a message from Astrella. 'We’re at the firing range,

  • Betrayed In The Mafia's Bed    Ch. 38: Help

    Astrella's point of view I woke up suddenly, breathing heavily, with my chest rising and falling in an inconsistent rhythm. The room was still dark, maybe because it was still midnight. I glanced to the side and saw Dax still fast asleep next to me. His arm was stretched around my waist, hugging me tight. He remained utterly still even when I woke up abruptly. The dream was still fresh in my mind about the incoming war and my parents' betrayal, and I think I consider myself in that. I don't know anymore, and the crushing weight of guilt is eating me whole. It clawed at my chest, making it difficult to breathe. My hands curled into the sheets. I felt like a traitor. Am I not? Earlier, after practicing at the shooting range with Xanthe, I had gone straight to Dax’s room. I told myself I’d distract my mind, that I’d write a little. And I did—at first. But the words soon blurred, lost in my own spiraling thoughts. What was I supposed to do? How the hell was I going to save my sister f

    Dax Donomie's point of view The rain had finally stopped, and the only thing that remained in the air was the lingering smell of wet asphalt and dirt. We were en route to the old shipyard, strapped in tight inside the jeep. Silvio had the wheel, knuckles flexing against the leather, while I sat in the passenger seat, my Glock resting heavy against my thigh. Xanthe and Fabio lounged in the back, looking relaxed, but we all knew the truth, we were wired as hell, nerves stretched thin like a tripwire ready to snap. Silvio, ever the dramatic bastard, decided to cut through the silence. “Guys, if ever we lose, please let my wife know that I love her very much.” I turned my head slowly to him, eyebrows raised. “The fvck? You don’t have a wife.” Fabio didn’t even hesitate, he leaned forward and smacked the back of Silvio’s head hard enough to make him flinch. “You don’t have a fvcking wife, and we are not losing this war, idiot.” Silvio barely spared him a glance, still foc

    Astrella's point of view When I stepped out of the building, I didn’t look back. I couldn’t. All I had with me was my phone and the Glock strapped tight against my thigh, a cold reminder that safety was just an illusion. The night swallowed me whole. No stars, no moon, just the eerie glow of distant lightning splitting the sky. A silent warning. A storm was coming. I pulled out my phone, dialing my sister’s number again. Out of reach. My chest tightened. Why the hell isn’t she picking up? A sick feeling curled in my stomach, my pulse hammering. Is there something happening to her? No. Damn. I don't claim that negative thought. The streets stretched ahead, empty. No passing cars. No late-night wanderers. Just silence. Too much silence. I stopped at the corner, gripping my phone so hard my knuckles ached. How far had I walked? I didn’t even realize I’d put t

    Dax Donomie's point of view “What about Astrella? Where is she?” That question hitched my breath. Instead of looking at them, I forced myself to look somewhere else and swallowed the knot that was forming in my throat. “She’s gone,” I muttered. Silvio frowned. “Gone? What do you mean gone?” Xanthe blinked rapidly, confusion twisting his face. “I made her leave.” My voice was quieter than I intended, but there was no point in taking it back. “Threw her out.” Silvio’s lips pressed into a thin line, and Fabio cursed under his breath. “What the hell, Dax?” “Damn it,” Xanthe hissed, stepping forward, his tone thick with disbelief. “Did you even think before doing that? Do you have any idea how dangerous it is for her out there? Especially now?” I exhaled sharply, pinching the bridge of my nose. “She’s better off away from me.” My voice was firmer this time, but the weight in my chest tightened. “If she stays, she’s in more danger than if she runs. At least this wa

    Dax Donomie's point of view Astrella was gone. I told her to leave. I fvcking threw her out. She had begged me to believe her, and I had turned my back on her. I could still feel her last gaze burning into me, searing straight through my skin, down to the part of me that I tried so fvcking hard to ignore. The muscles in my jaw tightened, and my entire body became hard as I stood there motionless. Every nerve in my body was quivering, and my breath came in a nutshell erratic bursts. What the fvck just happened? And the second those words left my mouth, all I wanted to do was run after her. To grab her, hold her, bury my face in her neck, and take back everything. But I didn't. Instead, I just stood there like a goddamn idiot while she walked away from me. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to block out the memory of her tear-streaked face, but it was fvcking burned into my skull. As I struggled against the wrath that was churning inside of me, my fists became clenched, and

    Astrella's point of view I woke up to the sound of my stomach grumbling, my head throbbing with a dull ache. I groaned, pressing a hand to my forehead. I hadn’t been drinking, and I’d been eating well enough to avoid headaches. Then it hit me. Fvck. I hadn’t eaten real food all day. And now, judging by the dim light filtering through the curtains, night had already fallen. Heat crept up my face as I remembered exactly what I had eaten for breakfast. We had been tangled in each other for hours, his body pressed against mine, his hands claiming me over and over again. The thought sent a shiver down my spine, my thighs instinctively pressing together. I could still feel him, his touch lingering on my skin, the ghost of his kisses trailing down my body. But reality struck fast and hard. Dax was probably gathering his men now, preparing for war. And here I was, still sprawled in bed, sore but not broken. I forced myself up, wincing moderately as I moved. The soreness betw

  • Betrayed In The Mafia's Bed    Ch. 43: Pleasure

    Astrella's point of view He responded immediately. My chest ached from the intensity of Dax's kiss, which was profound and full of affection. I would make sure to take pleasure in this moment and burn it into my memory if I knew that our future was uncertain. Without breaking the kiss, he scooped me into his arms, carrying me to the bed. His fingers worked on undressing me; his touch was both careful and possessive. While he positioned above me, he had a sneer playing over his lips. "Well," he murmured, voice husky, "I haven’t had breakfast yet, so I guess we’ll just have to eat each other instead." He gave me a wink. I completely lost myself in him, laughing out loud and freely. He continued to remove my top and the cover of my chest; he tossed it, and I could see in my peripheral vision that it landed in the lampshade. I'm now leaving only my thong. He seemed to be possessive, as seen by the darkening of his eyes. His fingers moved slowly and deliberately over the length of

    Astrella's point of view For some reason, I awoke feeling surprisingly light, yet I was also burdened by discomfort that I was unable to get rid of. For the conflict. It is Dax. The uncertainty that surrounds everything. No matter what I did, I was at a loss. Nevertheless, I needed to take a shower before I could allow my thoughts to take control of me. Perhaps if I washed away the negative emotions that were sticking to my skin, it would be easier. Even if the warm water did not do much to calm my anxiety, at least it gave me a sense of refreshment. I got out of the room, wrapped myself in a towel, and made my way to the closet that was shared by Dax. I rummaged through my closet and found a sky-blue terno, a loose shirt, and shorts, which are the items of clothing that I typically wear when I am feeling comfortable at home. My fingers were running over the surface of my vanity mirror as I sat in front of it, lost in contemplation. I had been nagging Dax to get it for me, and t

    Dax Donomie's point of view When I got to the base, the staff and my men were all huddled in their corners, busy securing the place. The entire building was already on lockdown. Silvio and Fabio, along with the others, were out hunting the traitor. But damnit. Why was the breach in my room? The moment the alarm connected to my room went off, I rushed there, expecting the worst. What I didn’t expect was to find Astrella inside with the intruder. For a brief second, suspicion flickered in my mind. Could she? No. That didn’t make sense. Astrella had no reason to betray me. Her sister was already safe, and her parents? They were rotting in the dungeon. Then why the hell was she the intruder’s target? I exhaled sharply, running a frustrated hand through my hair. Was she hiding something from me? Aisssh. No. Not now. Xanthe will handle it. I have a big situation waiting for me. I moved toward one of the cubicles, slumping into a chair as I scanned the security footage. My

    Astrella's point of view "What the hell just happened?" "I don’t know. I just felt something was off. But I ignored it, thinking I was just exhausted from the shooting range. I was about to take a shower when he suddenly appeared, out of nowhere—in your closet." He grasped my wrist gently, examining the red marks left by the masked man. His expression darkened. Then, without a word, he pulled me into an embrace, exhaling deeply against my hair. His voice was shadowed with restraint. "We’ve already locked down the building. My men are hunting every last traitor." He breathed out, pressing a firm kiss to my forehead. "When I heard the alarm after the crash, I bolted straight here. Where’s Xanthe?" As we broke apart, his sharp eyes scanned my face, searching for something, maybe doubt, maybe fear. I stiffened but forced myself to regain composure in a second. I can’t let him know something’s wrong. And what was I supposed to tell him? Another lie? I was already neck-deep
