Elegantly Wasted Chapter 20
Edwina Krys takes a hold of my hand as we slip among the crowds making a beeline for the bar. A couple of Gin shots later and Krys and I move with the club music, hands in the air, bodies moving like an uncoiling rope, eyes on fire. The music continues to bring me higher until my mind buzzes with pure joy. The joy is like a shot of adrenaline to the heart as I continue to move becoming one with the music and one with every crazy person dancing in this place. Krys continue to holler and shout in excitement next to me as the room around us slowly starts to spin and I can tell I am drunk as fuck. The alcohol continues to flow through my system like it's on an IV drip as Krys and I continue to grind against each other the rest of the world drowning out. "I love you Best Friend! "yells a completely drunk Krys and I blow her kiss winking in response. Suddenly I feel the urge to use the bathroom as I squeeze myself through the sweaty bodies my skin is already laced in sweat and not all of

Raffaele Once Edwina leaves for work with one of my trusted men, I head into my office to find Matteo waiting for me with a lit cigar to his lips. "You know boss, your woman is quite beautiful up close, "Matteo says with a smirk on his lips. "Don't even go there," I growl jealously hearing another man who is quite frankly my friend talking about Edwina. "Relax man you know very well Jasmine is more than enough for me," says Matteo raising his hands in mock surrender and I won't fail to notice the faint smile on his lips. "Asshole, "I murmur as I pull up at my desk rolling up the sleeves of my dress shirt. "So, any whereabouts about Mariano and his men and what they are planning?" asks Matteo blowing out smoke from his cigar. "No apparently not, "I growl out remembering my last meeting with him. "What is that man even after? Is he after the money that our Casinos and Clubs own?" asks Matteo getting agitated by not getting a bit further information. "You know very well that Matt

Edwina I wake up to Krys sleeping soundly next to me with no sight of Raffaele in the room. I cannot help but feel upset that he is nowhere to be seen after everything that has happened as I slowly get out of bed quietly enough not to wake up Krys. I grab one of Raffaele's black dress shirts that are lying by the dresser and put it on wincing in slight pain as I button it up. I come across my reflection in the mirror as I walk towards the bedroom door sighing in the process at my dishevelled state. I quietly slip out of the room closing the door behind me only to hear Alessandro's voice."It's good to see you up Edwina," he says a look of concern flashing in his eyes."I am not dead my guy so you can relax, "I say chuckling only to burst out in fits of coughs wincing in the process. "Well, I can see that," he says a small smile appearing on his lips."Where is he?"I ask desperately to know where Raffaele is. "He is in his office. He has been burying himself in work and is not really at

Edwina "What?" I whisper out in extreme shock my heart stopping as I remain frozen in place. Goosebumps appear on my skin as my breathing changes not being able to comprehend what I am hearing. "Tesoro," comes Raffale's voice and all of a sudden his touch feels cold as I try to create some form of space between us. "Tell me you are joking, "I whisper out my hands shaking in fear of the reality that my supposedly dead sister is alive. The room remains tense and silent as all eyes gaze at me in pity and silence enough to answer my statement. "How long?" I ask my hands bawling into fists. Suddenly I feel livid and angry about everything and Raffaele senses it rubbing by his fingers slowly and comfortingly against my thigh but my body has a mind of its jerking away from his touch and getting down his lap. I notice a mixture of anger and some hint of sadness flash through his eyes but I ignore it when Matteo goes ahead and speaks up, "It has been a while since we knew about her whereabou

Edwina The sound of our soft breaths can be heard within the room as Raffaele and I slowly get down from our level of high wrapped in each other's arms. No words are exchanged between the both of us as Raffale's fingers draw lazy circles on my naked back. Thoughts swirl in my mind about how my sister may be alive as I try to get a grip on the endless thoughts crossing my mind but they seem to be spiralling down at an alarming rate. "Talk to me, Tesoro. I can tell that a lot is going through your mind," says Raffaele as he places a gentle kiss on my temple and I sigh knowing very well I cannot hide my feelings away from him. " All this time I cannot believe that Gen has been alive leaving us to mourn her supposedly planned death. Why would she do this to us?" I whisper out upset as I shift in Raffale's hold to maintain eye contact. " It is not your fault Tesoro because I know you well enough to blame this all on yourself. Your sister had her reasons which at the moment are unknown to

Edwina Raffaele and I walk hand in hand down the spiral staircase the sound of my heels echoing across the marble stairs as we reach the bottom heading towards the main door. We walk out the door the night breeze whispering against my skin causing me to shiver a little and as usual Raffaele is quick to notice pulling me closer to his side. I notice the sleek black SUVs lined up waiting for our presence my face scrunching up in confusion at their large number." They are for security purposes Tesoro and I am not taking any chances with your life tonight," says Raffaele in a deadly tone and I can already weigh the heaviness of tonight's agenda. I nod my head in response chewing the inside of my left cheek as we walk towards the fleet of cars Matteo opens the car door for us. I give Matteo a small smile in acknowledgement making myself comfortable in the back seat as he and Raffaele have a word. A few minutes later and Raffaele joins me as Matteo shuts the door behind him."Isn't Jasmine

Raffaele As soon as Edwina leaves Mariano and me to have a chat, I feel a sense of loss not being able to have my fiery woman by my side. Ever since Edwina and I have set foot into this place, I have noticed the hungry gazes of men upon her dashing self and all I have wanted to do is gauge their eyes out and shove them down their bloody throats. I have not missed the jealous gazes of women in the room who wish to be in Edwina's position, the queen in this game. I can tell from their eyes how bitter they are at her beauty not forgetting the way they gossip about her presence as if to attract her attention. My gaze follows Edwina as she makes her way to the food table a woman approaching her. My attention is immediately diverted when I hear Mariano's voice, "How about we take business somewhere else." I am not exactly ecstatic to leave Edwina behind but knowing that my men are around to watch over her I nod my head in agreement. Mariano together with his bimbo then leads me out of the

Edwina " Yes, I am," I say back to Callie wondering where she is going with this conversation. My eyes scan the room and Raffaele is nowhere to be seen I slowly begin to panic when Alessandro shows up at my side whispering in my ear, "You are okay Princessa relax, he is fine." "And who are you?" comes Callie's voice her perfectly done eyebrows scrunching in confusion at Alessandro. I notice the way Alessandro's face quickly goes blank his body going rigid which is weird since I rarely see this side of him. "I am a friend of Edwina's," he says blankly causing Callie to freeze in shock her plate quickly dropping to the ground and breaking into a million pieces. People around us gasp in shock as Callie is quick to react and bend down to pick up the pieces constantly repeating, "I am sorry. I am sorry." I kneel next to her ignoring the stares of people as I try to help her asking, "Are you okay?" "Yeah, I am fine. Sorry, I need to leave," she quickly says her voice quivering and before

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
