AvaIt would be difficult for me to describe how I felt at the moment. Obviously, a form of anger was starting to build from within me.I should be terrified, petrified even and to speak the truth I am. But my anger is much more than anything other thing.My anger is directed to Vince and his rivals, I'm angry at Vince for having too many enemies and his enemies for making me their main target.What I don't understand is why.Why me, why am I the main target. I just don't get it, why using me as a bait to get to Vince. If they want to fight with Vince why not go directly instead of endangering innocent people.I'm just an ordinary girl living an ordinary life before Vince came along, now I have to look over my shoulder Everytime I'm out. I'm not sure if I'm safe in our own home.This isn't what I planned for, it's not want I sighed up for. All I wanted was a peaceful and quiet life, why can't I have that, why am I placed in the middle of these chaos.I don't want this.I don't think I
My gaze move from my phone to the door, I watch as Vince quietly walks into the room. He made a pause and frown when he stare at the empty bed, like he was expecting me to sit on it waiting for his arrival like an obedient little girl.Well jokes on him! I grinned.If only I could just jump on him attacking with blows for locking me in, but I know he would soon notice my presence and just like that his gaze swept the place and locked on mine.I saw his tensed features visibly relax, and he walks further into the room. Quickly, I stood up denying him access to the closet. He has been drenched from the rain, although the rain ended an hour ago and his clothes weren't dripping with water anymore, but he was still soaked."You can't just keep me lock in here as it's pleases you!" No reply, all I got in response was a raised of eyebrow."It's very..... Very foolish!" I said still no reply, instead he turned on his heels and walk straight to the bathroom leaving standing here like an idiot.
Ava p.o.vI collapsed on the hard wooden floor completely exhausted and breathless, my limbs ache and every parts of my body hurts like hell. I remain laying there on my stomach not wanting to stand up, my bones are too weak for any more movements plus I find it relaxing here.My breathing is hard, short and fast. My throat is dried to the point it's almost sore, sighing in contentment as I felt at peace laying on the floor and gathering my strength.I had just finished jogging eight laps around the perimeter of the big Field that lay behind the beach house. I just want to lay here and sleep to God knows when, The door open and shut disturbing my peaceful rest."Donna." I grunt and turn to Luca, my personal trainer and one of Vince most trusted men. Luca would easily passed as a giant, his stature is quite intimidating. He is tall, very tall easily towering over my 5'4 standing at six feet, large and extremely tense bulging muscles.There's is a five inches long scar across his left e
Ava p.o.vI stared at the center of the water which we were miles away from and watched the breeze caress it, creating an an uproar as the waves crashed against each other.A small gentle smile spread on my lips, it was one of contentment and awe. Watching the waves flowing tho and fro gave me a sense of serenity.Sighing, I slumped against the headrest of the seat bore out of my mind. And waiting anxiously for us to get home, I've missed everyone; my family, my friends and that consist of only Nate since Tricia was with me all this while, although we don't get to see each other often but we did sometimes, which are when Vince wants us to.I didn't really gave it much thought, since we were on our honeymoon and it was supposed to be only the two of us, no friends or family but I'm glad Tricia came along.Then again I miss school and most importantly for some reason I miss Marco more than anyone and anything, and I cannot wait to see him as if he's a part of me. I find it weird because
Ava p.o.v"Where are you going all dressed up, My love?" He asks in a low deep husky voice, dipping his head in between my boobs and sniffing them. This shook up my insides and I gulp audibly. I feel his hard erection press up against my stomach causing my head to spin and my mind fuzzy.He smirks when he realize that he has successfully have his effect on me, and must admit Only him can make me feel this way.I feel him shower kisses around my collar bone before he sucks hard on it, earning a rewarding moan from me. My hands climbed up to his chest and I clutch onto his shirt for support. Vince pulls me closer, I felt one of his hands trailing up and down my side while the other reach up to pull the dress from my shoulder.And that did it, I snap out of the spell I've been influence by. I gently push Vince back creating a little distance between us, He frown at my action. He reached out to pull me to himself but I grabbed his hands stopping him. There no way I'm letting him touch me
Ava p.v.oWe drove through the giant gate to the equally huge building of the school, The school is amazing and well constructed. It could easily pass as one of those small Universities, Yeah that big.I bet it's would cost a fortune to be enrolled in this school, well it's worth it seeing how big the school buildings are and how well kept it is. The teachers of course would be of high standards too.The driver, James pull up at a spot in the parking lot."Donna please wait here while I go get your son." James spoke up for the first since we left the house.I gave him a puzzled look, one for speaking to me with so much respect it almost choke me. As if he would be dead the second he said something wrong. Vince must have threatened him or something.Secondly, asking me to wait while he go bring Marco. If that's the case why am I here, what am I here for. I'm here to pick him up and I will do that by going in and bring him myself."It's okay, I will go get him myself." I offered a frien
VincenzoA car sat parked neatly and quietly in front of an iron steel gate that would easily intimidate a passerby. But not the people in the car, infact they seem unbothered that they were residing in front a powerful gangster's house.A Turkish gangster, they are considered big and powerful in Turkey. And most other Mafias steer clear from them, but certainly not Vincenzo and most importantly not when he was stolen from.Yes, it's Vincenzo and his men in the car parked in front of the Turkish gangster gate.Vincenzo was informed that the Turkish men ambushed his men when they were bringing in his containers. That's not the issue though, infact that's the least of Vincenzo's worries. What had tick him off was the fact that this small group were testing and playing with his patience.Vincenzo's patience with them is already wearing thin and now his patience is Lost. When they start gathering information about his wife and family.Vincenzo glare at Dante impatiently, they have been wa
Ava p.o.v"He's a total douchebag" Tricia cursed. "Jerkface, an ass and... and...." She trail off not knowing what more to say, her words were slurry.Drunk would be an understatement to describe her current state, she totally wasted.I don't know what clash she had with Dario but I can tell it's pretty bad. And has unleash her alcoholic self.When I arrive at her place, she was looking her furstrated-and-I-need-a-drink self. And that's how we find ourselves in this club located at the end of down side of town where the bad guys are, smokers, drunks, street fighters, thieves and what not.I know it's not the best place to be as girls, especially if someone recognize me as Vince wife. But this is what Tricia wants, to be away. Get drunk and not be found easily."Oh.... Do you know? A few days back I saw lipstick on that fuck ass cheek and neck.'' Her eyes glaze over as if replaying the scene in her head. "I ask him about it and you know what his answer was?...... Nothing." A dry bitt
Adriano’s POVI stared at my mom who had taken the seat that Nik occupied only moments ago.“You didn’t have to come over here to confirm it,” I said.“Yeah, I did,” she said. “Lately, it’s been like you’ve been doing everything possible to avoid a family gathering and I’m not going to let that happen again.”“You could have called instead,” I added.“I wouldn’t be able to tell how you’re feeling over the phone. It’s better to see your face in person,” she replied.“I already told you that I was not going to miss Christmas dinner, Mom,” I said. “Will you be coming alone?” she asked.Now we’ve gotten to the real reason why she came.“No, Mom. I won’t be coming alone. Melanie will be with me,” I answered.That made her smile. “Good, I want to see the lady that’s got my baby boy wrapped around her fingers. Besides, she makes great cookies and I need her to give me her recipe,” she said.
Adriano’s POV“Mr. Alfonso, is anything the matter?”I looked up at the accountant who paused his presentation. I could tell from the sweat marring his forehead that he was nervous. He was a new hire and was still trying to learn the ropes.So far so good, his presentation was good, but it was so goddamn boring. That was why when I started getting notifications of large transactions on my card, I couldn’t help but smile.I damn near forced, Melanie to accept the card from me and according to, Ralph they had been at the mall for hours and I just began getting transaction notifications.It didn’t take a genius to figure out that my sister had a hand in it. Maybe she wasn’t so useless after all.Melanie was too stubborn to let herself enjoy things that were freely given to her so it was good she had friends who didn’t hesitate to push her when she needed it.So yes, I’ve been distracted from the presentation, but that
Melanie’s POVAfter I had disconnected the call with, Aria, I went in search of my man and found him engrossed with something on his desktop.He raised his head when he noticed me and smiled at me."Did you miss me, little nurse?" he asked.I walked towards him and nodded. “I didn’t want to be alone,” I said.“Come here,” he ordered and I followed without hesitation.He pushed away from his desk and made room for me to sit."I thought you had a long overdue conversation with your girls," he said.“I did have conversation with my girls but that’s over now and I didn’t want to be left alone in the room. Besides, you’ve been holed up in this study for hours,” I said.“I had a lot of work to catch up on,” he replied.“I know that but that doesn’t mean I can’t try to distract you,” I told him. “I think we’re long overdue for something else.”He smirked at me. “Really? What is it?”
Melanie’s POVAlice and I spent the rest of the day together chatting in the living room while Adriano was upstairs doing God knows what.He did join us downstairs for dinner, looking freshly showered and I wanted to take him upstairs and lick him all over because of how delicious he looked but I focused on dinner.I helped, Alice clean up before I finally excused myself upstairs to take a shower. Adriano wasn’t in the room which means that he was in his study.I showered and changed into shorts and one of Adriano’s t-shirts before I settled in bed to call the girls.Now that the weekend was almost over, ignoring them was no longer an option so I put a group video chat and they both answered like they have been waiting for my call.“It’s about time, bitch!” Hayley said the moment her face filled the screen.“I see you’re back from la la land,” Aria added. “You abandoned us just because of a man.”I laughed
Melanie’s POVThe flight home was peaceful even though I spent most of the flight alone.When we boarded, Adriano told me he had a phone conference and I encouraged him to go ahead and join the teleconference when I saw that he was willing to postpone the conference on my behalf.He had already done a lot for me this weekend and I didn’t want to keep him from the rest of his responsibilities. People depended on him and of course he had to deliver.The group chat with the girls had been blowing up non-stop over the weekend after, Aria let it loose that Adriano took me on a thanksgiving trip.She ganged up with Hayley and have been badgering me for details all weekend but I wasn’t about to interrupt my time with my family so I sent them a message three days ago telling them that I would talk to them after the weekend.That didn’t deter them from sending messages on the group chat constantly. I spent the whole flight reading
Melanie’s POVMom was staring at us with a bright smile on her face and I was blushing so hard that I was pretty sure my face was red.“You both are just so cute,” she said. “It reminds me of when your father and I just started dating. Those were good times.”“Woman I still woo you regularly,” Dad said, walking into the kitchen.“Is the food not ready?” Danny piped up and Mom glared at him.“If you’re so hungry maybe I should leave you to make breakfast then,” Mom said, then she turned to Dad and Adriano."You all need to get your asses out of my kitchen. Melanie and I are almost done with breakfast but we won't make progress if you all keep hovering around here," she said.“You sure you don’t need any help?” Adriano asked.“I’m sure, honey, now get our,” Mom ordered.“Bossy as ever I see,” Dad mumbled and gave Mom a quick kiss on the cheeks before turning back and walking out behind, Danny wh
Melanie’s POVWatching, Adriano interact with my family, I wondered why I was ever nervous.My worry about whether or not they were going to like him was moot because he had them all charmed. Even Dad who was a bit hesitant yesterday had warmed up to him.In other words, he had them eating out of the palm of his hand. Also, I was pretty sure my brother idolized him with the way he kept asking him questions throughout the night and regaling him with football stories.The day after thanksgiving, I was helping my mom make breakfast while the rest of the house slept. We had a late night yesterday so it wasn’t a surprise that they were still asleep but not my mom.Mom had always been an early riser no matter the time she went to sleep, she always woke up the same time every day, like clockwork.We worked together silently in the kitchen, this time with no one to interrupt us anytime soon, I knew that I was going to hear all she’
Adriano’s POVThe scent of spiced apple pie hit me as soon as we stepped inside Melanie’s childhood home. It was warm and cozy in a way I didn’t think houses could be anymore. I grew up in a warm and cozy home but I soon learned that not all homes were like mine. Pictures lined the walls, memories frozen in time. Her mom, Roselyn, had been very welcoming. Melanie had once told me that her family was affectionate, but still, I wasn’t expecting this level of hospitality. Her father, on the other hand, was another story. He’d shaken my hand firmly, his eyes narrowing just enough to let me know he was sizing me up. It didn’t bother me. Hell, I respected it. If I had a daughter like Melanie, I’d do the same thing, I might even go overboard with it and try to scare the boy away but I didn’t get scared easily so he was just going to have to tolerate me in his house and his daughter’s life.Her brother, Danny, was a wild one. The guy w
Melanie’s POVThe wheels of the plane hit the runway with a soft thud, and I exhaled a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. Adriano’s hand slid over mine as the plane taxied along the runway, his fingers warm and firm. “Relax, Tesoro,” he murmured, his voice low and soothing. “We’ve landed.” I turned to him, his dark eyes drawing me in as they always did. “I’m relaxed,” I lied, though the tight grip I had on his hand betrayed me. The corner of his mouth tilted up in that knowing smirk that drove me crazy, in both the best and worst ways. "Sure you are, little nurse. You look very convincing.” The pilot announced over the intercom that we could disembark and we stood. We landed on another private airstrip but I could tell it was an extension of the bustling Austin airport.The flight attendants had already carried our bags into a parked SUV. I couldn’t help but feel a mix of excitement and nerves.
