Raffaele

After wishing Edwina goodnight, I head back to my office to work my mind going back to Edwina's request to rest the night. I sigh in frustration knowing it's not possible as my phone rings Alessandro's name flashing on it.

"There's something you need to see back here at the compound," comes Alessandro's serious voice and I grab my car keys exiting the penthouse leaving Edwina under the protection of her new security detail.

The compound is the main base where the mafia operates here in New York and it is filled with all the requirements and heavy machinery needed. I get into my car the engine coming to life as I speed down the driveway.

I walk into the underground dungeon specifically designed for holding famous culprits known to the mafia; a separate entity from the main house. The air reeks of blood, urine, faeces, sweat and possible traces of vomit as I walk towards an isolated cell finding Alessandro and a few of my trusted men waiting for me.

They all bow in respect

    Edwina I woke up in a good mood, getting dressed and ready for the day ahead. I don't see Raffaele at breakfast after last night's events and I can't help but wonder if he decided to skive breakfast with me because of it. Alessandro tells me Raffaele left early in the morning to attend to business but I can't help and feel like he is purposely hiding something from me. I don't push it my mood souring a little bit but what should I have expected, after all, he is Raffaele Marcello, the one man who constantly has all women worshipping at his feet so why would he go for a woman like me? Pushing those thoughts out of my mind, I walk into my office not failing to notice my new security detail at a distance. "What's with all the men in suits?" asks Alexxis puzzled and I sigh saying, "Don't mind about them they are just my new security." "Since when did you have security following around?" asks Alexxis like I've grown three heads. "Trust me, you wouldn't understand if I explained, "I s

    Edwina "What do you mean he's dead?"I ask puzzled. "I killed him, Tesoro," says Raffaele in a hardened voice as if calculating my next expression. To say I was shocked that he openly just told me he killed a man was an understatement as I gulp down saliva saying, "Okay" "Okay?" asks Raffaele stunned at my calm composure and I say, "Well you are a mafia boss, I don't expect you to be all rainbows and unicorns." "Your something else," says Raffaele laughing the sound vibrating across the room and it's a sound I could get used to considering the man is always serious and stone-faced. "What about Mariano?"I ask puzzled and he sighs saying, "Well that's exactly what I wanted us to talk about. Tomorrow he and I have a meeting and you are to stay in this penthouse and not leave under no circumstances." "No, I'm not you prisoner Raffaele, "I say my eyes narrowing at him and he clenched his fists and I go on, "I'm coming with you." "Not," he roars and I raise a brow at him saying, "Abs

    Edwina The car comes to a stop outside what appears to be a nightclub, the blaring music from inside being heard. Raffaele's personality has changed to the cold ruthless Italian mafia boss in no mood for games as the doors open and Raffaele steps out and I do the same. Raffaele's arms lock with mine and never once does he spare me a glance as we walk towards the nightclub which is littered with all kinds of people. I notice the handful of Raffaele's men dressed in suits as they follow us in silence not forgetting the eyes of people on us as we walk towards the club. Most of the stares were from ladies who glared at me as if I had just stolen their man but I ignore them proud to be by Raffaele's side tonight. There's something in the way Raffaele walks tonight radiating off dominance and power that makes me feel even more attracted to the man as we step into the club, Raffaele pulling me closer to his side. The colourful dim club lights stream in different angles, the smell of dru

    Edwina "Hmmm," I respond turning to face Raffaele who takes slow calculated steps in my direction. "Are you okay Tesoro?" asks Raffaele his piercing gaze staring into mine. "Yeah I am," I say trying my best to eliminate any form of emotion present on my face. "Bullshit," growls out Raffaele gripping my chin in his fingers to face him, my breath hitching in the process. "I have been standing observing you for a while and you looked lost in your thoughts. Talk to me Tesoro," says Raffaele his thumb running over my lower lip, my body shivering at his touch. "Don't act as your care," I grit out defensively causing Raffaele's grip on my chin to harden. "Why do you have to be so infuriating Tesoro?" growls Raffaele his face hardening. "Why do you have to be such an ass?" I retort back challengingly and Raffaele suddenly lifts me onto the kitchen counter my glass of wine crashing to the ground in the process, the red liquid spreading everywhere on the floor as a sudden gasp leaves my

    Edwina After I met with Mr Black, I had to rush back to the office to do a few things with Alexxis. The day eventually comes to an end as Alexxis helps me clear up the papers on my desk. "Alexxis, can I ask you something?"I say as she continues to arrange my paperwork neatly for me. "Sure," she says puzzled at what I am going to say. "The other day Krys told me that you hooked her up with Alessandro, "I tell her and she laughs saying, "Yeah, I did consider she didn't give me a choice if I did not. She wanted to know where to find you that morning" Krys can be quite the demanding one sometimes and I chuckle saying, "So do you and Alessandro talk?" "Not really, I haven't heard from him these past few days," she sighs and I can tell it is something that bothers her. "Want to talk about it?"I ask and Alexxis sighs, "There's nothing to talk about Edwina, nothing is going on between us anyway." "Okay," I say standing up and picking my bag with me and walking to the door when I had my

    Edwina I notice the many trees that cast shadows across the tarmac as the moon shines through the lattice of leaves as Raffaele slowly pulls up at a huge beautiful and intricate wrought-iron gate which automatically opens up as if sensing our arrival. Raffaele slowly drives through the gates as I notice the fortress of a castle that comes into view. My mouth opens in awe at the site. The castle is built of stones of varying sizes and shapes, each one unique. From a distance, it appears black but as the car slowly approaches it, it is a mosaic of humble rocks amid the dark green. There are multiple guards surrounding the castle at strategic positions armed with guns as the car finally comes to a stop before large stone steps which lead to an entrance. "What the hell is this place?"I ask Raffaele still puzzled at how he can own such a place. Raffaele only smirks not answering my question as the passenger door is opened by a guard who doesn't even spare me a glance and I'm assuming it h

    Raffaele During the night I have to wake up to do some mafia duties and as much as I'd love to stay and keep Edwina company, duty calls and I have to go. I open my eyes admiring the beautiful woman who sleeps in my arms my mind going back to the amazing fuck we had in the bathroom. I am not a man who fucks the same woman twice but something about Edwina makes me feel like I could fuck her again and again without getting tired of how her skin feels against mine. In the mafia world, women have always been regarded as prizes and the more women a man possessed, the higher they seemed. It is such a disgusting way to see women being mishandled and mistreated as if they are tools but that is something that apparently can never change in my world. Love is regarded for the weak and is especially not encouraged by the rulers in my world. I have always fucked women to my liking and never once have I ever claimed any one of them as mine. It was always just a quick fuck to help me get rid of my

    Edwina I slowly stir awake my hand moving to feel the side of the bed next to me only to feel empty creased sheets. I sigh feeling disappointed at the lack of Raffaele's presence my mind thinking about last night's events. Maybe he regretted what happened between the two of us confirming my doubts that I was a pawn in his dirty little game and just a quick fuck.I can feel my tears brimming in my eyes as I quickly wipe them away on hearing the bedroom door open knowing exactly who it is. "Morning Tesoro" comes Raffaele's sexy voice as I feel the bed dip next to me but I don't bother responding or look at him too ashamed and angry at myself for giving in to him last night. "Hey," whispers out Raffaele gripping my chin between his fingers to look at him only for him to notice my tears.His face scrunches up in worry at my tears as I try to remove my chin from his grip but he growls, "Don't." "Do you regret last night? Is that why you left in the morning?"I whisper out scared to hear

    Raffaele Something seems to be disturbing my Tesoro and knowing her I know that she is too stubborn to tell me unless she is ready to talk about it. I cannot help but shake off the feeling that she is hiding something from me and does not want me to find out probably the reason why she has been acting all strange ever since we landed in Italy. One thing about me is that I have been trained to read emotions and feelings and I can tell when someone is lying to me about something she has been doing to me for the past few weeks but I have done my best not to seem bothered while deep inside I feel quite livid. I love Edwina but lying is where I draw the line when it comes to having a relationship with someone and as much as I want to act oblivious to her actions I can't help that feeling in my gut that is telling me that she is indeed hiding something from me. I close the door to our room and make my way down to my office to go through some work calling Gio to join me for a little chat.

    Edwina Tonight is the night. I will have my driver on standby waiting to take to to the airport and make sure to keep Raffaele away from this or someone will die tonight Bellissima. Make sure to do as you are told to avoid someone's blood being on your hands. xx yours truly. Immediately after I read the message on my screen my blood runs cold knowing that tonight is the night I will be leaving Raffaele to protect him and his men. I try my best to regulate my breathing not wanting to have a full-blown full-blowback with Raffaele just a few steps away from me in the shower with no clue in the world to what is going on. "Hey, are you okay?" comes Raffaele's voice drawing my attention far away from my phone screen to see him standing and already dressed as he buttons up his dress shirt. "Yeah, "I force out shutting off my phone screen and tossing my phone away to avoid any suspicions. One thing I have learned from this lifestyle is the art of hiding my emotions to avoid any suspicio

    EdwinaI remain frozen on the spot my eyes meeting Raffaele's darkened gaze as he winces in the process clutching onto his shirt which seeps blood."Cosa è successo?"yells Eleanora her face morphing into a giant frown as she makes her way son who leans against the counter with Giovanni to his left and Rodriguez to his right."I'm fine madre,"grunts out Raffaele clearly in pain as Eleanora genlty kisses his forehead his green orbs never leaving mine."Thank God you are here the man is as stubborn as they come princessa and only you will be able to help him clean up since he does not want anyone next to him,"comes Alessandro's voice from beside me making my gaze shift from Raffaele to him.I nod my head in response no words being able to leave my mouth as I slowly walk up to Raffaele who stares at me a slight frown on his face. I notice the way Gio nods his head in reassurance as I gently take Raffaele's hand in mine."How about I get you cleaned up,"I tell him softly all eyes on our li

    Edwina Immediately I head out of Raffaele's office I make my way across the house holding my new phone box in my hand. I shake my head in amusement chuckling at how Raffaele loves to spend money on me without a doubt not realizing that Vincenzo is standing right across from me. "Should I be worried that you are laughing by yourself?" he asks amusement shining in his eyes. "Maybe, "I tell him a smirk making its way onto my lips. Vincenzo just smiles at me in amusement making his way around me to head wherever he is going. "Where are you going?"I ask him curious to know where he is headed. "Just headed out to sort out some business," he says not giving me room to respond as he walks further away. I make my way to Raffaele's room where I sit on the bed thinking about what Raffaele's phone call could be about since he was quick to mention that it was nothing when I asked him. "Damn I need to find something to do today, "I murmur to myself sighing in the process when my thoughts ar

    Raffaele Immediately the question leaves my mouth, I observe and notice the way Edwina's body freezes her eyes flashing with slight panic before she quickly composes herself. I try not to read deep into it considering how of late I have made her think I do not trust her while in a real sense it is quite, in fact, the opposite. I trust her with my life and the last thing I would want is to draw us further apart and push her away. "Come here, "I tell her softly my piercing gaze matching hers and she hesitantly walks towards me standing a couple of steps away from me. "Closer Tesoro, "I say my voice going an octave deeper not liking the small distance between us. She does as I say stepping closer to me and I am quick to pull her into my lap her legs straddling me. Her sweet lilac scent fills my senses and I almost go crazy burying my face into her neck and pulling her closer to my body her scent slowly calms my racing nerves. "You smell divine Tesoro, "I growl out gently peppering

    Edwina We sit in silence tension filling the air after Raffaele speaks my body filling with slight rage at his ability to suspect that I am being untruthful to him. "Why do I feel like you are suspecting me to be a liar?"I ask rather defensively suddenly not wanting to be in his presence. "I am not Tesoro where is this even coming from?" asks Raffaele his eyebrows furrowing in total confusion at my question. "Yes, you are. It's like ever since I went out with your sisters to the mall you suspect I am hiding something from you?!"I yell my last thread of restraint snapping in half as I take a step away from him causing him to clench his fists at his side. "Are you hiding something from me Tesoro?" he asks his voice laced with venom that I barely recognize the man standing in front of me. I cannot stop the hurt that passes through me at his question which confirms my thoughts that the man indeed has his doubts that I am hiding something from him. "No I am not hiding something from

    Edwina I stand infront of our bedroom mirror admiring the way the red gown hugs my body showing off my hour glass figure my hair straightened which is kind of new since it is always curly and bouncing off my shouders. My fingers come up to toy with the necklace that sits on my neck as the door to our bedroom opens revealing a dressed up Raffaele. Our eyes connect through the mirror as he makes his way up to me his arms going around my waist pulling me back into his chest as I admire how handsome he looks in his black suit. "You look beautiful Tesoro,"he says admiration in his eyes causing my heart to flutter at his compliment. "Thank you,"I blush out suddenly feeling a bit hot and bothered under his intense gaze. Raffaele is quick to turn me around in his arms causing me to squeal in surprise as he pulls me closer to him his strong cologne invading my senses. I notice the way he has shaved his beard giving him a dangerous sexy look and I cannot help but feel proud to call him my m

    Edwina The next morning I wake up and Raffaele is nowhere to be seen in bed his side of the bed is quite cold a sign that he was probably up quite early. I sighed taking a few minutes to myself thinking how I am going to be able to pull off leaving with Mariano's men without anyone in this house knowing. I notice one of Raffaele's shirts on the other end of the bed as I pick it up and wear it. I am startled by the sound of my phone ringing as I roll over to pick it up the sound of Krys angry voice being heard. "Tell me why the fuck you went to Italy without telling me goodbye," yells a not-so-pleased Krys through the phone. "Well hello to you too, "I grumble out not enjoying the sound of her loud voice in the morning, or at least I think I don't. "Edwina, "scowls Krys and I can tell that her patience is slowly running out. "Someone broke into the manor, "I sigh out rubbing my temples. "Oh my god! Are you okay?" asks Krys frantically her voice laced in worry. "Well other than t
