[ Marcello ]Why this girl’s thoughts aren’t leaving my mind since I had seen her. Her shyness mixed with fear, the way she stole glance at me and then scurry away as if I’d eat her. Capo Vincent was right when he used to tell me that one day, someone will mess up with my mind. After battling with my patience and sanity, I finally reached at the café and lured Rio to send her with me for a dinner. My pride was hurt but she wasn’t wrong on her place either.“Capo, are you thinking about Miss Ella?” Vincenzo asked me.“Perhaps, yes. She’s an interesting character.” I said with a wink and scrolled through her social media account, she’s quite active, updating the world with her life and her different aspects. I could see her following but I felt a strange sensation which wasn’t good at all when I saw her photos with boys, probably her friends or class mates. She hid nothing about her. She looked vibrant and a jolly person except when she was around me.“Can I help you with something? Som

[ Marcello ]“Don’t, mon cheri. You’re already drunk.” I snatched sixth glass of drink from Ella’s hands, she was totally wasted. She could hardly sit straight.“No, I want to enjoy tonight. Don’t stop me.” she pointed her finger at me, her eyes trying to glare at me but she looked cute. I wanted to pull her cheeks but we were on a public place.“Ella, no, you are already wasted. Your uncle will be mad at you.” I reminded her but she was hardly listening to me.“I don’t want to hear his name. You know he was pestering me to date that douchebag Marcello.” She blabbered and my ears caught it. I realized that she wasn’t in a state to recognize me.“Why do you think that Marcello is a bad guy? Did he do something to offend you?” I asked her. I wanted to know what does she really think about me.She leaned closer, almost brushing her bare shoulder on my chest, her sweet lavender and vanilla scent intoxicated me, I just wanted to pull her into my embrace and make passionate love to her but

[ Ella ]“Arghhh, my head is pounding.” Rita entered in the kitchen holding her head. My condition was no different than hers but I kept quiet and busied myself in the café so Uncle and Aunt won’t find out that I was out clubbing till God knows how late.When I woke up, I found myself sleeping in the same dress on my sofa. I didn’t remember how I reached home, probably Rita or her boyfriend dropped me off and then went to their home or it was our other friend Lucy.“Please, put these cookies in the oven and set the timer.” I instructed her and decided to check the lists of raw materials which was running out of stock. We have to order them before evening.“I am sure you had a crazy night and finally lost your v card to that handsome devil.” I heard Rita whispering near my ear and I froze. Was she really talking to me?I swiftly turned around and faced her. She was smirking at me but I was still confused.“Have you lost your mind, Rita? It was you or Lucy who dropped me off my house.”

[ Marcello ]I was more than excited to see my little angel. Throughout the night, I couldn’t sleep, her cute talks and cute facial expressions kept dancing in front of my eyes. Her sweet fragrance had enchanted me. I was only waiting for the morning so I could go to the café and ask her out like a gentleman.“I see someone is craving for Rio’s cookies early in the morning.” Vincenzo walked into the kitchen with a yawn, I glanced at him, he was in his night pyjamas and messy hairs.“I didn’t give you a day off from work, Vincenzo? You’re looking like a shit.” I raised my left brow at him who was fetching himself a cup of coffee.“I have a killer headache, Capo. I am sorry but I am not in a state to work today. Miss Ella’s friends are crazy, they drank like thirsty camels. If we had to pay the bills, I am sure my bank account will be left with only zeroes. But the real struggle was to drop Lucy, Miss Ella’s friend.” he groaned and by judging his face, I assumed he had trouble in dealin

[ Ella ]It’s been an hour, I sobbed silently when my tears dried up. This place was no less than a hell if I have to imagine one. They didn’t come back again and with passing time, my fear was increasing. My uncle took money from dangerous man like my kidnapper, I had no idea about it and now, I am the one who will be sacrificed.“God, please, save me.” I prayed closing my eyes because I don’t want to die. Even though, I lost everything, my parents were victim of this kind of violence but still, I never lose hope of a beautiful future.Suddenly, I heard yelling and arguing of men coming from outside. I sat straight on the chair. Maybe, they received a negative answer from my uncle. Maybe, my end was near. All of a sudden, the door burst open and I was panicked without looking at the person.“Please, don’t kill me.” I begged assuming it was the same man.“Ella, shhh, calm down, it’s me.” I heard the most unexpected voice and snapped my face up. It wasn’t my dream. Marcello Romano was

[ Ella ]“Ella, my darling. Thank God, you’re fine. I was scared to death.” My aunt rushed to hug me as soon as I walked into their house after my check-up and treatment at the clinic. The doctor advised me to rest for 2-3 days. I told Marcello to drop me at my uncle’s house. I need to talk to him. I won’t let go of this easily. I could be dead today.“I want to be alone for some time, aunt. Please, don’t mind.” I said slowly getting out of her grip. Her face reflected guilt but she pressed her lips and nodded her head.“Mrs. Romano, please take care of her. Make sure that she doesn’t stress herself in the café. I’ll come again to have a world with Rio Romano.” Marcello said and then he turned to me, his features softened when he looked at me.“Take care, mon cheri. Please, don’t hesitate to call me if you need anything. I have mailed you my private phone number.” He said to me and handed me the bag of some food which he grabbed for me from a Chinese restaurant in our way.“Thank you,

[ Ella ]“Mr. Romano, please come inside.” I politely asked him to come into my house while ensuring that my nosy neighbours didn’t see a man coming to my house and later complain to the landlady who is an old fashioned woman.He stepped into my house and I closed the door carefully. My heart was hammering against my ribcage. It is the first time I invited a man inside my house that too late in the night. He’s the same man whom I hated and felt scared not less than twenty-four hours ago.“Here, take this food.” He handed me the bag and I went to my small kitchen to serve the pasta into two plates and also the grilled chicken in classical Italian tomato sauce with a lot of herbs and peppers. The delicious aroma made my stomach grumble loudly. I prayed that he didn’t hear this.I returned to my living room with the food tray. The space looked more smaller with his presence.“This is my favourite pasta dish, what a coincidence?” I rubbed my palms together before picking the fork to dig i

[ Marcello ]“What if I tell you that I like you? Will you still leave?”I asked her, it was a now or never question for me. After she shared her fears and her goals for her life, I understood her. I know how it feels to go through pain of losing your loved ones, I had gone through this dark phase myself. Sometimes, I also wanted to leave everything behind and start a new life but I could never really discard myself from this city and this life. Eventually, I found my peace in my work.“Mr. Romano, I don’t know how to answer this yet but we can certainly be friends.” She said.I felt a ache in my heart after hearing her answer. She doesn’t feel in the same way as I do. I was willing to give her everything she deserves, from safety to fulfilling her dreams. I’d give her a loving family. All that I wanted is her companionship because my feelings for her are getting intense day by day.“I think it’s quite late. I should be going now. Please, don’t hesitate to contact me if you need anyth

[ Ella ]I gave my statement to the police. It was quite hard for me to go through the details of the same traumatic moments but the lawyers ensured me that they’d do their best to send Adriano to jail. I felt bad for Adriano though, he secretly liked me. I could have given him wrong hints that he mistook as something other than pure friendship.“Miss Ella, shall I drop you back at your house or you want to go somewhere else?” A bodyguard whom Marcello hired to protect me, asked me.“I want to go to somewhere else and I want to be alone so you don’t need to follow me.” I said because I really missed my parents and I wanted to visit their graves. I don’t want anyone else to accompany me because I can be myself, the same little girl in front of my parents.“I am sorry, Miss Ella but it’s my job to guard you. I have received strict orders from Mr. Romano to guard you and accompany you everywhere for your own safety.” He refused my plea with folded hands.I sighed in frustration.“I am go

[ Marcello ]I kept hitting the punching bag, sweat dripping down my face, my breathing heaved and body wanted to give up but I didn’t stop as my anger couldn’t sustain because the image of Ella being hurt by a man whom she trusted, it kept reminding me that I failed my promise to protect her. How she coiled in fear when I pulled that monster away from her, it kept paining me.“Capo, please stop.” Vincenzo tried to stop me for the multiple times but I didn’t hear him.Finally, the punching bag fell off and I was totally exhausted by the vigorous work out since the early morning. He quickly grabbed a towel and wiped my sweat but I took the towel from her and cleaned myself. He gave me a water bottle which I finished in a go.“Why are you punishing yourself, Capo? The man is under police’s custody and I assigned our best lawyers to represent Miss Ella in the court. He’ll receive a good sentence for God’s sake if we’re going to punish him in our way.” He said but I couldn’t find my menta

[ Ella ]Vincenzo dropped me off at my house. Lucy decided to stay with me. I told her to go home since she was equally shocked and terrified with the incident but she chose to stay with me. She said that she couldn’t leave me alone or she won’t be at ease. Rita went to the hospital, she didn’t want to go to see Adriano but Lucy told her as his parents and family live in Rome. He’s all alone here.“Ella, go and take a shower, I’ll prepare hot chocolate for you.” Lucy said to me and I dragged my half dead body to the bathroom.When I discarded my clothes, I saw bruises on my arms. Those hellish moments refreshed in my memories. Tears brimmed into my eyes. Adriano called me a whore, this word stung. If Adriano thinks that I am behind Marcello’s money then others must be thinking the same about me.I let the warm water soak me. The scars on my body will be healed in a few days but I don’t think the wounds on my mind and heart will ever be healed. People whom I loved and trusted, they bru

[ Ella ]“What are you saying, Adriano? I think we should talk tomorrow or when you’re sober enough to talk with a cooled mind.” I said to him when I sensed that he wasn’t in his right state of mind due to the effect of the alcohol.“Answer me now, Ella. I want to know what you feel for that man slayer.” He raised his voice.“Adriano, you’re crossing your line again. I told you not to mention Marcello again. It’s not your business what is my equation with him.” I said in a stern tone this time because he was hurting me mentally.“I get it. I should have seen it coming since that bastard started visiting us often.” He scoffed and laughed dryly which started scaring me because he was a totally different person from the man I know.“I am leaving, Adriano. We’ll talk tomorrow.” I said and about to leave but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back.“Adriano, what the hell is wrong with you? Leave my hand, you’re hurting me.” I yelled at him and tried to pry him off but his grip only tightened

[ Ella ]Marcello dropped me off at the café. I requested him to stop for a coffee and fresh buns but he denied saying he had a lot of work and he’d be occupied till the weekend. My heart sank when he left with only a formal goodbye. I am kind of habitual to his cheesy talks and flirting.I couldn’t concentrate on my work which was to bake fresh sets of cupcakes for a birthday party order. Rita was with me but I didn’t see Uncle Rio and Enzo. Aunt was on the counter. It was good at one side but my mental peace was gone.“Ella, a penny for your thoughts.” Rita eyed me and I shook my head. I am not someone who expresses herself easily unless it’s too heavy to bear alone.“Come on, my sweet little girl. I can tell by looking at your face. A certain someone has stolen your mental peace and….” She pointed her finger at my heart, “Heart, Ella. You are in love with Marcello Romano.” She yelled and my eyes widened because there were others in the kitchen.“Rita! Have you gone nuts?” I whisper

[ Ella ]Fuck!What did I do? I kissed Marcello Romano on the lips. What he must be thinking about me? I couldn’t resist myself when I heard him promising me everything that a lover can do for me. I know he likes me, he expresses his feelings for me now and often but I am not certain about my own feelings for him. Sometimes, they are too intense that I am not able to supress them just like the unexpected kiss and sometimes my brain questions my heart.I shouldn’t be harbouring such emotions which may hurt me in the future. Marcello is a great person who only showed his good side to me but I can’t ignore the fact that he’s a mafia. He may not use violence in front of my eyes but he’s a part of it. He’s tend to use violence, if it’s not me, then others, his enemies. His life is always in danger. I can’t shake the insecurity off.I didn’t recall when I fell asleep while thinking and debating about my present and hazy future. When I woke up next day, I felt recharged and ready to start my

[ Marcello ]The beauty in front of me, I have no words to praise her because no words in the dictionary can justify her beauty inside out. I am obsessed by her, her sweet scent, her smile and laugh like a music to my ears. This girl stood against storms in her life, fought them bravely and still stay positive about her future even though I am not happy with her decision to go away from the city.“Marcello, you can drop me here. I can walk from here.” Ella’s soft voice forced me to look at her. we drove mostly in silence. This time I had my security with me because I don’t want to take chance with her safety.“No, I’ll walk you to your house, it’s not very late but your safety is my responsibility.” I said, she nodded her head in agreement.We stepped out of my car. I gestured my bodyguards to follow us closely behind but don’t catch attention of her nosy neighbours. I don’t want any inconvenience for her which can solidify her desperation to move.“Thanks for a wonderful day, Marcell

[ Ella ]“Thank you once again for this memorable day trip, Marcello. I enjoyed every single second I spent at the De Niro’s property. I can’t believe that I am one of the few people who got the opportunity to live this dreamy life of one of the wealthiest families in the city.He smiled and poured more wine into my cup, “I can do much more for you, mon cheri. Just give me a chance.” He said. We were having our dinner at the estate.I was afraid at first when I saw hundreds of armed men guarding the estate at each corner. The security was unbreachable. I met his mother who is a very nice lady. I didn’t feel like an outsider and they definitely didn’t behave like dominating people.“You can drop me off at my house now. It’s getting dark and I don’t want my neighbours to gossip about my personal life. I bet you’re already a breaking news among them.“Are you not happy that most of your neighbours now think that we’re a thing between us?” He teased me and I immediately looked down at my

[ Ella ]“You shouldn’t come to my house unannounced. The entire neighbourhood was looking at you. I bet, it’ll be spread to the others by now. Those ladies were practically eye raping you, Marcello.” I said to him with rotten mood remembering how those women ogled at him as if he was a piece of meat.“Are you jealous that I am quite popular among the ladies of your neighbourhood?” He smirked and I coughed while sipping on my coconut water that I bought to keep myself hydrated. I am still not used to with the humidity of the place.“No, I am not jealous. Why would I be jealous? You’re not boyfriend or something like that.” I defended myself.“Touche, I am hurt by your bluntness, mon cheri.” He acted to wince and again focused on the road.“This place is beautiful. I have seen vineyards but never been to a private property before.” I said as I saw vineyards on both sides of the road, stretched far and wide. It was a picturesque view.“You have the golden chance to spend an entire day a
