Elegantly Wasted Chapter 28
Edwina "So do you want to tell me who the woman who approached you at the food table was?" asks Raffaele running a finger down the side of my arm as we sit comfortably in the bubble bath he had prepared us wrapped up in each other's arms. My back is towards him as I lie on his masculine chest enjoying the feeling of his warm skin against mine. "Well she said her name is Callie and we didn't chit chat that much but something weird happened when Alessandro mentioned my name and she kind of like froze and dropped her glass," I say the events from today evening still fresh in my mind. I sigh as Raffale gently brushes my hair away from my neck dropping a delicate kiss on my skin as he says, "Did she like know you or anything for her to react the way she did?" "I don't think so although something about her just felt familiar and I can't figure it out, "I say turning my head slightly upwards to meet Raffaele's gaze. "Maybe she just had a lot to drink or think about," says Raffale as he co

Edwina "Glad to see you again, "I say to Mr Black as he takes his seat in front of me but there is a hint of resentment in my tone. "Look about the other night..."I say trying to clear up the air but he is quick to interrupt saying, "How about we do not talk about the other night and we focus on what I am here to discuss. My eyebrows furrow in confusion at his stern demeanour and me being the stubborn woman I say, "No my building my rules so we are talking about last night." "What is there to even talk about last night?" he asks rather frustrated and I sigh saying, "I just want to apologize on Raffaele's behalf and also for putting you in such a position it was not fair on your part so I am sorry." "Since when did the famous Raffaele Marcello apologies to anyone," says Mr Black coldly and I lean forward placing my elbows on my desk looking him squarely in the eye and saying, "He does not and that's why you either accept the apology from me or do not expect any at all." Mr Black ch

Edwina My mind is disoriented as screams and cries of people in the club cuts through the air and I am violently ripped apart from Raffaele by one of his men as he barks orders." Take her away from here and take her back to the compound and guard her with your life. If I find that even a hair on her body is harmed I will kill you," yells Raffaele to the man who now holds me my mind focusing on what is happening. "No I am not leaving you, "I yell towards Raffaele struggling against the man's grip trying to reach him but he yells at the man, "Take her away!" The mysterious man who I do not even know pulls me close to him as he weaves us through the crowd of now dead bodies as fear grips my body at the grotesque scene. Blood curdling screams continue to fill the air bullets flying in all directions as Raffaele's man shields my body protecting me from any harm." Matteo we need the car in a matter of three minutes we are headed towards the exit," says the man barking orders through his e

Edwina A couple of months later... A couple of months have gone by since the incident that night at the club where I almost died and things have been quite intense ever since. Raffaele tightened security around the compound limiting my outside interaction with people as well as tightening my security detail leaving no room for arguments about it. I did not argue with him about it although deep down I hated the restrictions that were coming with everything. Raffaele's demeanour had changed to a colder one and I could tell from his tough exterior that he was a scared man trying his best not to lose me to his bloodthirsty enemies. The only thing that made me glad in all this was that Krys and Alexxis are the only outsiders to the mafia who have been given a chance to come into the compound since they are my friends and I require to see them and talk to them to remain sane. Telling Alexxis about how I got myself involved with the mafia and that Raffaele is the famous crime boss in bot

Edwina Immediately those words leave Giovanni's lips my whole body tenses further as I take a seat at the edge of the bed and he remains standing at the door not daring to step into the Capo's room. "Okay, "I tell him my voice trailing off my face giving away my emotions my forehead creasing in worry. Giovanni remains silent his piercing gaze matching mine before he says, "It turns out your sister wants to see you." "What do you mean she wants to see me?"I ask my voice with a slight tremor at the end. "Exactly what I just said Edwina," he grumbles out annoyed at my slowness to absorb the information he is telling me. "And why are you telling me this?"I ask him puzzled wondering why Raffaele has not told me this. "I believe you would want to know considering Raffaele insisted that we are not to mention it to you," he says rather slowly gauging my reaction. Of course, he did that mother fucker. "Well, when does she want to see me?" I ask rather bravely knowing very well that not

Raffaele As soon after Edwina leaves the gym room the air thickens in tension as Angelo hands me his Ipad showing me pictures of one of my men trying to steal from one of my warehouses here in America. "Explain, "I growl out to Angelo whose faces now appear emotionless his jaw tensed. "Turns out we have caught one of our men trying to steal from you. These pictures were taken of him last night trying to stack up a stash of cocaine and export them under specific orders unknown to us," says Angelo. "Where is he?"I yell out annoyed that one of my men would try and steal from me the Capo of this specific empire. No one gets to try and steal from me and gets away with it. My father always taught me that the only way to earn my men's respect is to instil fear in them which they seem to have forgotten who is the boss here and who is in charge. "He is waiting for you in the torture chamber," says Alessandro. "Do we know if there are others who were working with him and are part of our m

Raffaele I reach one of my fancy clubs my men in sight as Alessandro walks beside me his face void of emotion just like mine. The smell of cigarette smoke and alcohol is quite strong in the air as we head over to our VIP section where most of our business deals take place. "Well well well if it isn't Marcello in the flesh, "comes Andrea Esposito's voice as he takes a sip of what I know is vodka from his glass. Unlike his brother Mariano my common enemy, he and I have a common sense of understanding in this world of ours considering he understands the meaning of power and has never questioned mine. I take my seat opposite him as I am handed a cigarette lighting it as I drag it in. "How comes you here and not in Italy?"I ask Andrea quite curious to know the true reason he is here in this state. "If you think I am here to conspire against you with my brother then you are quite wrong. I am here on business," says Andrea his voice not giving any trace of emotion. "Good to know where

Edwina Is there a word to describe being broken beyond repair,for something that is completely shattered where the air feels to thin to breathe in,the world gets so dark that it's impossible to breathe and not enough words amount to the pain felt so words stick in silence? If there is tell me... Immediately Raffaele leaves the room I throw a glass at the door as it shatters into pieces and a scream ripples out my chest. My body wracks with an onslaught of sobs and tears as I cover my face with my shaking hands. I do not know how long I remain in this position gut-wrenching sobs tearing through my chest but I am pretty sure it has been hours. I slowly stand up my eyes wet with tears as I head over to our bed getting under the coves and not bothering to change out of my clothes. My lips tremble as I continue to cry thinking of what Raffaele told me a few hours ago. I know I should have told him that I was going to meet Geneva but he had no right to stop me from seeing her. I am mo

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
