~Maja~"Daddy" she squealed as he picked her and threw her body up before catching her into his hold again. Her excited laughter bubbled up from her belly and she nuzzled her sandy body into his."I see you've had enough fun today. Now we have to go home and get you all cleaned up, are you ready?" She nodded but like there was a bulb that lit up in her head a pout formed on her lips and she began playing with the chain on his neck."But you also promised we'd go shopping" he twirled her little index in his hand before kissing her knuckles. "Well that'd have to wait till the weekend and I promise I'll get you whatever you want" she smiled gratefully at him and kissed his cheek. "I love you papá" he reciprocated her words and hugged her.I turned my face away from the beautiful duo to keep my emotions in check before I ended up spilling my eyes out."Ms Maja" i was lost in the cloud of my emotions that I didn't realize she had gotten down from his body and came to stand in front of me.
I got to the enormous living room to find him sitting at a mini bar at the far end close to the ceiling length window. His dark locks glistened from water and his built body was hidden underneath the thin material of his shirt that didn't do any justice in defining his masculinity.His eyes were zeroed on nothing with his thoughts tussled around in his mysterious head while his hand slowly twirled the stem of the cup in his hand.Without giving any sign of my arrival I made my way towards him and pulled the bar stool across his and made myself comfortable on it.His dark eyes traveled from its previous line of sight to the spot where I now occupy and locked with my eyes that tried reading into the mischief and cloudness of his orbits.I stretched my arm to grab the bottle of vodka resting in front of him but he was quick to stop me by holding my wrist."You should learn to ask before you get what you want" his velvety voice dripped with seduction and dominance that it made my bare pus
"Papá p..please don't leave us" my sobs continuously cracked out of my quivering lips as I stared at my dad's bloody body. A weak smile stretched out on his lips and he lifted his shaky hand to touch my face."Maja, my sweetheart" he choked out which triggered the blood to spill from his mouth while the tears kept rolling down my cheeks at the heartbreaking sight of my father."D...dad please don't say a word, we would save you" I pleaded but as stubborn as he was he didn't give an ear to my pleas."I want you to know how much I..i love you tesoro. Everything I..i ever did in this life was for you and Martina cause you two are my most precious treasure. I..I'm sorry I wasn't able to save your mother but I'm glad my other two angels are saved.M..my darling girl please take care of yourself and your sister. I'm aware of the fact that she's older but you my princess are very strong so I'm entrusting your safety and that of Martina's in your hands. You're young sweetheart but I know yo
I trailed behind him silently, my eyes roaming around the luxurious ambience of the secluded hallway that has his office occupied. We reached a big black door that gleamed its luxury egoistically. He pulled a card from his pocket and placed it on the knob to unlock it. Expecting him to act like an asshole that he is he surprised me by being a gentleman and letting me walk in before shutting the door behind me.Heavy scent of oud and his cologne lingered in the large space. The furnitures were professionally arranged and the dark ambience of the room enhancing the professionalism of the architect and interior designer.Without waiting for his say or permission I made myself comfortable on the chair I was supposed to be on enjoying the smoothness and coolness of the leather. I could tell by his burning gaze he didn't like my unethical behavior but I couldn't careless.He came around and took his suit off letting his ripped arm come into view and I tried my best to look anywhere but at
"Maja stop acting like a kid and get dressed we have to leave" she spoke with a tone of annoyance attached to her voice and I rolled my eyes for the umpteenth time that week."I made myself clear when I said I wouldn't be joining you for that stupid dinner whatsoever" i gritted out in irritation with a blaring glare staggering her way. Without further comments she strode towards me leaving me confused for a while."Save your attitude for someone else hermanita" she wrapped her hand around my wrist and pulled me out of the bed taking me off guard. "Martina for fuck sake..... "Don't try Maja, just get into your closet and get dressed, we'll be leaving in thirty minutes I'm waiting for you downstairs" not giving me a room for my tantrums she exited my bedroom leaving me beyond incensed.I knew these were the moments she showed herself as the older one and also the moments where I have no control against my wishes or decisions and I hated these moments with every single fibre in me.Not w
After dropping my stuff at my penthouse I decided to visit the one place I haven't visited since the day we left them off here.Stepping into the yard where i send different bodies into without being there brought an unusual feeling to consume me and a murky feeling settled in my chest at every step I took that drew me to their resting place."Leonard Elzandre, Elsa Elzandre" my parents name caught my eyes and at that moment I couldn't control the lone tears that rolled down my cheeks. I wouldn't be cliche and start speaking to the covered earth that had just their bones in it but I do believe their souls hung around to hear the message in my heart cause the emotions I was feeling was too much to handle at this point and I found it difficult to open my mouth.Slowly my sadness faded away and I was struck with anger as the dying image of the both of them cracked into my memory which only fueled my thirst for revenge.I promise you mamá, papà, I'll stop at nothing until they all pay for
"Aaghhh" the excruciating screams of my prey resonated in the confined space of the room where he was being tortured. My knife was stuck in his abdomen men while my irises slowly murdered his eyes."And this is for stealing my money and selling me out and don't you for once think I'll let you off so easily, I'll make sure I tear every organ in your body and make you feast on it, until next time my dear" I whispered lowly in his ear which made him shudder under the authenticity of my words."D..don please... there was no use going back and forth with his empty apologies so I left him with Rocco and went to an empty room to get changed.The buzzing sound of my phone caused a sharp hiss to emit from my lips and I glanced at the screen to find Riccardo's name dancing on it.Sending my eyes skyward I swiped the accept button and put it on speaker while I got changed."Do you really have to get on my toes every fu.... He took in a sharp breath filled with rage which made my inside twirl in
Silence rested amongst every body present in the room, it was almost as if don controlled our breath. She was dressed in her signature leather jumpsuit and a large hat which covered half of her face leaving just her lips in view."The death of Mr Castillo isn't an ordinary matter, in short words this case isn't a subtle case. Whoever this person is he or she has discovered about me and in order to get to me they have to get through Maja which only means one thing" her feminine deep yet smooth voice bounced around the room filling up our attentive ears."Someone here is the traitor and I'll be giving all of you just 48hours to surrender yourself. If I don't get a response from any of the seven of you then I'll advice you live the remaining hours of lives the way you wish and don't even think of acting smart cause I'll find you. You are all dismissed"Her words should have caused my heart to produce a lot of blood in fear and anxiousness just the way the others own hearts were but that
8 years ago(2 months after the accident)I got into my apartment and pulled the winter coat off my body. "Whew! That was a heavy one" i muttered and locked the door. I strode over to the kitchen to make myself a cup of hot coffee and just as I was about to take a sip the door bell rang which made me groan in annoyance.I left the kitchen and went over to get the door. "Martina" a handsome tall stranger stood at my door with a killer smile on his face. He seemed familiar but I couldn't recall where I met him. Maybe he was part of the memory i lost."Hi, who are you?" Hurt flashed in his eyes and he sighed. "Can I come in?" He asked and though I was reluctant I still gave him a room to come in.I shut the door and offered him a seat. "Coffee?" He nodded and I went to the kitchen and made an extra cup. I returned with our cups of coffee and handed him his own."You really can't remember me?" He asked in a hush tone and I looked away from his hurt face. "I'm sorry..... "Stefano" his name s
8 years later"... but dad.... "Esmè" he called in a warning tone and glared at her. "You are going no where and that's final" he spoke in a pitch laced with finality and went up the stairs. "Mamá" she looked up at me with tears filled in her eyes and I sighed."I'm sorry princess, I may not be able to do anything about it this time but I know someone who could help you" i wiggled my brows and her eyes lit up with hope glistening in them. "Who?""Your grandma, mum can help you. So you're going to go to your room and freshen up then come back for dinner and after that we'd figure out how to get daddy to let you go for that party, what do you say?" She grinned and threw her arms around my torso. "Thank you mamá, I love you" "I love you too baby" i kissed her forehead and she ran up the stairs. I smiled and shook my head in satisfaction. I never thought I'd find peace after I left the mafia life behind but the fact is that, it is one of the best decision i made.Starting a life and a fa
..... Samantha and I were childhood friends. There was no day she didn't make it clear that she hated her step father, "Augustin Elzandre" Augustine and Pablo Perez were from different mafia family who were rivals. Adele Elzandre, your grandmother fell in love with Augustine but was forced to get married to Pablo. She wasn't happy with the marriage so after making a deal with Pablo she left and got married to Augustine. The Marchessis, The Lombardis and The Dela Lucchese are one of the biggest mafia families. Everyone wanted to have an ally with them cause of their power and the financial benefits.The transparency of the Elzandre resulted in an ally between the Elzandre and Marchessis which didn't sit well with Pablo so it made him fuel the hate between the Perez and Elzandre. No one knows the lies he fed Samantha but that's the sole cause of the enmity she has for your family and apparently she is entwined into the idea that Augustine was the murderer of Pablo" Angelina, Makayla fos
".....daddy's hosting a winter ball this Christmas mamá and there's no one to dress me up like my favorite princess, so you have to wake up so you'll do that for me. And here I got you this cute teddy bear, grandma told me it'd make you wake up from your deep sleep" I could hear all she was saying but I didn't have the energy to open my eyes.I felt her weight on my tummy and the soft furs of the teddy bear against my skin yet I couldn't move nor speak cause it felt like the whole organs in my body were being restricted. I heard the sound of the door and though my condition had me in a position where I was surrounded by the awful smell of medicines my nose was still able to pick up his fresh and intoxicating scent."Princess you've been here the whole day, c'mon you have to go with grandma you need to have dinner and go to bed" I could imagine the pout on her face and I desperately wanted to stop him from taking her away. "Daddy, she still isn't waking up, the teddy bear didn't help"
We arrived at the given address and I jumped out of the car without waiting for her to park the car properly. My back landed harshly on the ground but it was nothing compared to the pain I was feeling in my heart. I stayed still for awhile before I got on my feet to go save my daughter."Maja.... "Makayla please remain in the car. So many people are in danger already" I pleaded and though she was reluctant to follow my instructions she did it anyways. I made my way to the door only to find it locked. "I fucking asked you to not bring anyone" I heard a female voice and Riccardo's voice followed."I didn't inform anyone" his voice held no emotion and i knew he was only trying to be calm for the sake of Esmeralda. "Open the door" I heard whoever it was ordered. The door pushed open and i hurriedly went in. At my arrival everyone turned their attention towards me and I definitely wasn't expecting the two souls that were present in the room. "Alicia?" She smiled menacingly at my situation a
"Are they all where they are supposed to be at?" She asked Rocco over the phone when we arrived at the location Samantha asked us to meet her in. "Yes Don""Do not attack until i say otherwise. Any little mistake can put her life in danger, get that?" she clearly instructed and he nodded his head in understanding. "When you have to talk to me, you know what to do already. "Sì don" she dismissed him and turned to me. "What's next?" I asked and she looked around the incomplete building then back at me. "We'd have to go in" i held her wrist to stop her from taking any step further. "That'll be dangerous...."Maja, relax and trust me will you?" Although I had a lot of insecurities about this I chose to trust her to bring us out of this situation. "I trust you sis but... "There's no but, just let me handle things and do whatever I ask you to do without questions, now let's go" she pulled my wrist and led us in.Our presence were graced by the dust and rough granites. We looked around for
I arrived at the casino and went down to our usual hideout room. Makayla, Rocco, Elvis and Uncle Fidel were already seated and they were in a middle of a conversation. I made my way to my seat and asked for a detailed explanation about the situation and Rocco began the narration."You said she met someone at the club, who's that?" I questioned. "That's what we have no idea about, we're trying to figure it out" i stood up and left to go seek answers for myself cause staying here will only lead to a conversation that goes in circle and my sister's life is in the hands of a monster.I got to the mansion and went up to the control room to check the cctv footage. It was seen that the house had been empty at the time of the abduction which made my brows furrow in confusion. "If someone dropped her..... he must have left her outside. I reasoned. I was able to get the footage of the cctv at the gate and zoomed into the car that dropped her off. Unfortunately I couldn't get a view of his face
My head stung with pain and my eyes felt heavy to pop open. "Holy Fudge" i groaned at the hurtful feeling and twisted my body to the other end of the bed. I gripped into the soft sheets and buried myself between the scented pillows. The deep masculine scent..... masculine? Events of yesterday came crashing and I sat up from the bed ignoring the pain that was shooting in my head. I laid my back on the head rest and ran my palm down my face.My underwear and my dress were still intact meaning nothing happened last night. I tried recalling his face but the only thing i could make out were his gray marbles and attractive pink lips.I was about to get down from the bed when the door flew open to reveal my savior. He was just in a pair of white sweats. His upper body was left exposed and the sight was too.... I realized my thoughts were getting out of boundaries so I cleared my throat and looked away but I still couldn't get his well sculpted body out of my mind. "How are you feeling?" He
~Makayla~"Don" I looked behind me to find Rocco standing with no emotion written on his face. "Do you have any news?" I raised a brow and he shook his head."I'm sorry Don, we found her but Samantha and her allies are very smart. We were able to get her last location but before we could send our men she escaped" I hissed out in annoyance and clenched my fist to control my fury. "If she thinks she can hide forever then she's fucking insane" i mumbled angrily and looked at him. "Go back and get to work, ensure you and your team do all you can to get Samantha, she can't get away with her crimes. You can leave" he replied to my commands with a light nod.I stared at nowhere in particular with my mind pinned on all the horrible pain I'm going to bring Samantha. My thoughts were interrupted by the soft knock of someone. Without waiting for an instruction from me the door slowly creaked opened to reveal Layla, my assistant."I'm sorry to bother you Don but there's a man out there and he's
