Deceived by the Mafia Chapter 17: An Escape
When Patricia was young, she would cry for help to escape everything that pains her. She wanted to disappear and die so she could stop feeling helpless. She learned the hard way, and she doesn't want to repeat the same mistake of not doing anything about her problems. She's tired of running away just because she can't control the situation according to her will."Are you sure we'll be okay here?" Lily asked when they arrived at their townhouse.She called her best friend so Patricia could inform Lily about her plans. Patricia just wanted to tell Lily, but the girl was hardheaded and insisted on coming.Patricia stared at the manor, "Yes, this is the place. The answer to my questions.""I'm not sure. Alejandro-"The slip of Lily's tongue made Patricia suddenly feel the churn of burning sensation crawl on her skin. It's not a good one though. Her stomach churns at the sound of her husband's friend."What do you mean?"Her best friend's eyes start to wander around, not meeting hers. So s

"You're not on the list, Ma'am." The secretary annoyingly said when Patricia insisted to get inside.Luca Silvestri, is one of the most sought businessmen. The same man also has strict security when it comes to who can enter his office and talk to him privately. Well, given that he owns a tech company, that only explains why the security is tight although it seems not like it."Look, Miss Secretary. My job is at risk, they are going to fire me if I can't interview Mr. Silvestri. Just this one, please?" Patricia pleaded.Actually, the company wouldn't fire her but looking at the situation, it seems like she needs to do more pleading even if it means lying to the poor secretary.She's working at Pro-Live Magazine, which features successful people all around the world. Their highlight of the month is to interview a bachelor man whose name is popular in the business industry. They could market these bachelor businessmen to gain popularity for their company to be known."Even if I wanted t

"How was it?" Kelsey greeted her when she made her way outside."Your boss is crazy! I hate him so much!" Patricia vented while running her fingers through her hair.She's huffing because of irritation. Well, irritation is an understatement, she loathed him. Really really hated him."Here's his lunch... And yours too.""Mine?""Your nana said we should eat on time. And didn't you say you will bring him lunch?"Patricia laughed with no humor, then stridden towards Kelsey. She bit her lower lip when she saw the food."I'm getting my lunch, but to hell with that damn arrogant man. Don't feed him."Kelsey laughed then get the food before she went to the door, "You really need to be careful. Didn't you know that there's a CCTV with audio in here?"If Kelsey said that earlier, Patricia would have been feeling embarrassed. But she got to meet Silvestri and she hated him."I ducking hate you, Silvestri. Burn in hell." She stated loud enough for him to hear on his audio.Patricia planned on go

Patricia was silent the whole ride. She can't still get away from the fact that Luca has access to her. She knew that aside from her lies, Luca knew something more. Something that could destroy her. And she's not sure whether she could take another destruction or if it would lead her to death.When they arrived at Luca's house. He asked her a question."Didn't I tell you to convince me more?""I'm seducing you tonight." She nonchalantly said.Though she did not mean it. To hell with that man. Luca Silvestri is more dangerous than she thought. Did she make the wrong decision of accepting the job? Will she lose everything she worked hard for?All her life, she's been very cautious about making decisions. Why did it have to be this way now? Where did she go wrong?"I'm looking forward to it.""Oh just shut up!"Luca did shut up, but there was an annoying grin on his face and Patricia wants to wipe it off.Come on, Patricia.

"What happened to the dinner?" Clinton asked when Patricia arrived at the office."We talked about when we are going to do the interview and that's by the end of the month since his schedule was hectic.""I still can't believe that Mr. Silvestri would agree to an interview."Patricia heaves a long sigh on her seat."What's the problem? Aren't you happy about it?""No, it's just that it's weird working with your fiancee."Clinton's eyes widen, "What?! What fiancee are you talking about?""Uh. Luca?""Luca Silvestri is your fiancee? Are you... are you sure you're okay? Did you hit your head or something?"She laughs at his expression, "I'm serious. Just don't tell anyone yet, we are not going to announce it until the end of the month.""I'm really wondering why he agreed. So that explains why? When did you two get into a relationship? How did you meet?""The Barone's ball, it's been years. I've been there to interview someone and I bumped into the infamous Luca Silvestri." She stated fl

"What do you mean we need to get married now?""Your father will surely object and would call the engagement off. When we are married, they wouldn't lay a hand on me.""What is exactly your plan, Silvestri?"Luca strides towards his table after making sure that the door to his office is locked."I need protection against your father and lover.""For a hundredth time, William is my brother."He shrugged his shoulder, "If you say so. They've been hitting on me ever since my name boomed up. I'm trying to do my business here, I don't have time for them.""That's the reason why you throw an investigation on me?""It happens that when I saw your face on the internet, you seem familiar."Patricia sighed and closed her eyes to keep her composed. If she refuses Luca's offer, everyone knows that she is THAT Tricia Barone. That Patricia Arquette is just a cover-up for her to do things freely and out of trouble."When are we getting married?""Now. Call one of your trusted friends so they could b

"Who texted you last night?"Luca asked in the middle of having their breakfast. It's just the two of them since they wake up later than usual, her Nana probably went to the park like she always does and comes back very late in the afternoon.Going back, Patricia decided to not tell Luca about her grandfather. She still doesn't trust anyone aside from her grappa and she knows how everyone is plotting harm against him, she can't let anyone get to know in regards to her suspicion about her grandfather's death. Although Luca means no harm, she still doesn't think it was possible to tell him everything about her. But hearing him ask about the message, she was not sure whether he went through her phone or not so she needed to play her cards well."Didn't you look through my phone last night?" She asked to test him."Who texted you last night?" He queried again, annoyance was lace in his voice.Patricia scoffed when she saw his expression, "Don't act like some sort of jealous husband, Silve

A week. It's been a week since Patricia is giving Luca cold shoulders. After that incident, she remained silent and even her Nana asked her what's the problem all about."Are we really going to do this again, Duck?" Luca asked when she get out of the shower.It's Sunday morning and she decided to go to church with her Nana, and of course, with Luca who is now well dressed up in all black while she's all white. Patricia just stared at him before she went to the vicinity to brush her hair. Though Luca steals it away from her and is the one combing her now. She finds it sweet."I just want you to relax while the Pro-Live Magazine Company is being renovated. What's so wrong with that?""Really, Silvestri? You didn't ask for my permission.""Finally," he whispered before he stopped brushing her hair and then hugged Patricia from behind, "You talk again."She tried to get away from his hug but it only tightened. Luca rested his chin on her shoulder, she can perfectly see their reflection in

Deceived by the Mafia Chapter 16: Luca Silvestri's
She left. His wife left him. Luca was devastated when he went home and couldn't find Patricia. He already had a hunch that his wife won't easily forgive him, but he didn't think it would resort to this situation. His wife knows how dangerous it is to leave without a bodyguard, but being the hardheaded woman she was, she still left the house without someone."Fuck it." He whispered under his breath. A part of him is relieved to know where she is, but it's still not enough. He wants to hold her. Luca can never calm down unless he is with his wife.She may not know it, but Luca put a tracker on her engagement ring. So he knows that she's on her way to the abandoned house they were supposed to visit."Your wife's hold on you is scary," Alejandro commented when he saw the devastated and horrified look of Luca.Luca threw a glare at his friend because he knows what Alejandro is thinking, "Shut up."Instead of shutting his mouth to save himself, Alejandro cracked a sly smile.

"What are you doing here?""I see you are now back in your apartment. Did you already find out that your husband is a mafia don? How does it feel?" William asked tauntingly. He's very different from the soft spoken William she once had.Just when Patricia thought her day couldn't get any worst. William showed up in her apartment. How did he knew doesn't matter anymore. For sure her father sent him to take Patricia back. They're probably laughing because of her misfortune."You've been keeping tabs on me? Why can't all of you just mind your own business?""Your parents are worried of you."Patricia scoffed, only a fool would believe that her parents really cared for her. "Sure, they are.""Let's go home, Tricia. Stop living this kind of life.""Kind of life?""As Patricia Arquette. Stop it. You deserve the whole world, you should travel and wore expensive things. Go and do everything you want, you don't need to work your ass for money. You have that already.""You're ridiculous. What h

"Stop." She pleaded when Luca was about to take a step towards her.He halted on his step, his cold eyes bore to her. "Didn't I tell you to go home? What the fuck are you still doing here?""Are you for real?! Really, Luca?!"He sigh in resignation, "Let's go home."Patricia took a step backwards, wiping away her tears. She can't believe she fell for his trap. "No! Who are you, really?""D-didn't she knows what you do Luca?" Isabella tauntingly asked even though she's having a hard time."Shut up." Luca gritted his teeth. His comrades didn't do anything, they better knew not to let Luca's wife see such cruelty."He kills people, Patti. He's part of the mafia. He works on the shadow, trying to lure people into his world."Patricia stared at Luca in disbelief. She can't believe that the man she had shared her dreams about is one of the people she hates the most.Luca knew how she hated the guts of a mafia. Out of all the people Patricia trusted, Luca is the one who managed to enter and
Deceived by the Mafia Chapter 13 Truth
After her interview with Catarina, Luca made sure that it was nothing. He once worked for them, but it's just it. Although it made her doubtful, she trusted him. And she's glad, because their relationship started to go well.A frown was evident on Patricia's gorgeous face as she scanned her phone. She's waiting for her husband to arrive and pick her up but it's already 20 minutes after she finished interviewing one of the elites. Luca was never been late, and tonight is the first time that he failed to fetch her. She's worried sick because of that and negative thoughts are starting to cloud her mind.Her father and William are always been a threat to their relationship. It's been months and her parents couldn't still accept the fact that she married Luca.

Deceived by the Mafia Chapter 12: The Interview
Patricia turned on the recorder before she starts the interview. Catarina, Don Lorenzo's youngest daughter, is one of the activists calling for change. She hates to admit it, but Catarina had influenced numerous people to participate in specific campaigns."Let's start with your introducing yourself," Patricia trailed as she stares at the paper in front of her."Catarina Lorenzo, youngest daughter of Don Lorenzo. Law student.""Direct to the point. Why did you become an activist yourself? Are there any reasons or specific happenings which made you turn this way?""I am aware that my Dad has been very active in illegal activities in the past, but I'm different. I wanted fairness in this country. The reason why I pursue law was not to influence or manipulate the truth. But to speak for the people whose voices were stolen from them."Patricia won't deny that Catarina's answer is on point. She admires her for that, but she still doesn't fully trust her. It could be a facade.'Let's give h
Deceived by the Mafia Chapter 11: Agreement
Attached there was the familiar address of their vacation house. It's been decades since Patricia's family went there. It was said to be abandoned by the family, and even her grandfather didn't talk about it for as long as she can remember."We can go there if you really wanted answers," Luca suggested while she remained silent.She's contemplating. Does she really want to do it? What if someone is just playing with her? Perhaps it could be her father trying to lure her into darkness, thinking she will change her perspective on how to view their choice of life."It's an abandoned house." She said, suddenly feeling lightheaded."Hmm. I asked Alejandro to check it earlier, it's far from being abandoned."Her eyebrows crease together, "What do you mean?""Someone's been living there not until this year."She stared at him in bewilderment. How could that happen? She's pretty sure no one in her family goes there anymore. Not that she's aware of her parents or William's business, but that h
Deceived by the Mafia Chapter 10: Revelation
"You did what?" Patricia's best friend, Lily, asked on the other line.After her confrontation with Luca, she immediately went home and facetime her best friend. Lily knows everything about her. Their friendship is composed of trust and openness— one can rarely find someone who shares the same bond as theirs."I told him to get lost and find a place to stay because he's not coming home."Lily gaped at her, "It's his house, Patti.""I know.""And you told him that? Why would he listen? I mean you're my friend, but he's entitled to stay there because it's technically his house. He owns that." Her best friend asked in disbelief.She gave Lily a dirty look, "I'm his wife.""So?""Well, whose side are you?"Lily rolled her eyes, "For the record Mrs. Silvestri," She emphasizes the word Silvestri as if its purpose is to slap Patricia's face with the fact that she just kicked her husband's ass out in his own damn house."I don't know, Lils. I'm not sure if I did the right thing trusting him w
Deceived by the Mafia Chapter: 9 Spiral
"No, that's not the password." The words rolled out of Patricia's tongue with bitterness. Disappointment is visible on her face and she knows that Luca can see it, but never said anything about it. She can't believe she fell for that trap of whoever sends the message. She's sure that person is trying to play mind games with them. "How'd you know?" His brows quirk up. "Silvestri, you think I didn't try every possible password my grandpa would use? That's my grandparents' wedding anniversary. It didn't work." "Maybe it's our anniversary then." "No, I don't think so." "Did you even try it?" Luca's question was meant to mock her. She knew it by the look on his face. Sometimes she doesn't understand him. Luca's personality is still a mystery to her. Even though she grew up observing people's actions and words, Luca made it impossible for her to guess what he is thinking. It's almost as if he was born to be someone no one could figure out unless he tells them everything, which would
