Evangeline, The Wish Of The Mobster 17
While showering, Alec thought about the man he killed and what probably happened to Ruby. And even if he tried not to think about it, it was almost impossible. It wasn’t like him to be violent. Alec had had a somewhat quiet childhood. He vaguely remembered eating all meals next to his parents and older sister. Everything changed when he turned sixteen and discovered that his mother had an affair with the family driver. Alec was desolate, crying on the steps of the mansion, when his father arrived. The boy hesitated, but ended up telling his father what he found out. Blake was furious and went screaming for his wife around the house. He found her in the pool, tanning and a few meters away, was the driver, washing one of the cars. He confronted her and questioned whether that was true. Unmoved by the accusation, Dominique shrugged and continued the sunbath. Until Blake stepped up on her and the driver decided to intervene. At that moment, he was sure that his son had spoken the t

"Look in the mirror, Evangeline! You are beautiful. That must be the prime motive.” Evie rolls her eyes and looks back at Alec’s messages. "I shouldn’t accept. Yesterday Ruby and I finally got along. I should go out with him and not with another man.” "Blah, blah, blah. Look at the things Alec can give you. It’s what you deserve.” Evangeline’s greatest wish was to tell her friend that he was not the prince she appeared to be. That he was actually crazy enough to buy a piece of land to get a woman stuck with him. "I never looked for someone for the money. You know that. By the way, I’m gonna call Ruby and call him for lunch." Felippa opens her mouth, ready to ask if she can come along. "No. You won’t. I want to kiss you without worrying about your vigilance.” Evie leaves the trailer, calling her crush. The call doesn’t even complete and an electronic message begins. The number you are trying to reach does not exist. She freaks it out and tries a few more times

Although he had never been in a relationship, Alec dragged sighs, kisses and sexes, wherever he went. But none of the women he once took to bed had the purity that Evie carried. None of them would be able to go to the opera and find it all magnificent. They would probably sleep or even accept that kind of exit. The Castello family had a private cabin. They were invited to all the performances at that theater, due to the immense donation they make every year. And even though they are not very frequent there, no one was allowed to occupy those places. Then when Alec and Evangeline arrive there is a man occupying one of the chairs. Knowing that his family accumulates enemies, Alec puts an arm before Evangeline and gently pushes her back. She doesn’t understand that act right, but remains quiet. Alec slowly approaches, touching the gun that was stuck in his waist. "Excuse me?" he says, and the stranger looks at him. "I don’t know who you are, but this cabin is private. It belong

"And what did you expect, Dominique?" he gets up, adjusting his jacket. At that moment, Evie was returning from the bathroom, but upon hearing Alec’s voice, she stopped and heard what he was saying. "The last thing I heard from you was how much you hated me. You preferred anyone, even that horny gardener, to me. You didn’t watch any of my football games, because spending hours and hours in a beauty salon was a better use of your time." Dominique faces the ground, exasperated by hearing so much truth. "You hated a child, when the only thing he wanted... that I wanted was the happiness of my parents together.” It was the first time Evangeline felt she had anything in common with Alec. She could feel the anger and sadness in his voice as she poured all those truths on her mother. When Alec turned, eager to flee, he ran into Evangeline. "Oh, there you are." he sighs and looks sideways towards his mother. Dominique remained seated, absorbing everything he had heard. "I...” "Alec..

"Divine!” "Not so much, Evangeline. But it’s good.” "Is it really the first time you ate a taco?" he nods, taking another bite. "In how many years? How old are you?’ "Twenty-eight. "And you never ate?" Alec denies with his head. "Wow... you have a lot to learn yet.” "I look forward to learning from you.” Once again, Evangeline found herself embarrassed by a line from Alec. He realized and not to leave her more dull and end up wanting to leave, he decides to pull the subject. "So... my first question...” "Will there be more?” "You said you’d let me know all about you." He raises an eyebrow and tries the guacamole. "Yuck... this...” Alec spits out the spicy sauce and causes laughter in Evangeline. Even laughing, she gets up and asks for a bottle of water to the owner of the establishment and comes back to help Alec. "I think I should have warned you about the pepper...” "Yeah." he murmurs, before drinking a generous sip of water. That didn’t resolve the burning
Evangeline, The Wish Of The Mobster 22
The next morning, Alec felt refreshed. It wasn’t like he had a long, pleasurable night of sex. It was even better. He got up and opened the curtains, facing the large pool that was down there. Although the sun was still giving way, one of the cleaners was already there, removing the leaves that autumn began to bring. After taking a tremendously relaxing bath, Alec wore only a pair of sweatpants and went down for coffee. As he entered the dining room, all the joy that the night before with Evangeline had brought him was gone, as soon as he saw who was at the table. "What’s she doing here?” Alec wasn’t looking at Dominique. He was looking at his father. To the man who had expelled that woman years ago and at that moment was passing her honey for pancakes. "Good morning, son!" Dominique smiles, looking at Alec and pouring honey over her pancakes. "Pancake? I know it’s her favorite breakfast.” "Blake!” "Alec, sit down.” “No." he is firm. "I will not sit down and eat with y

"What?” "His parents took him out of town. No one has any idea where they went. They all switched phones.” "Wow... I..." Evangeline grabs a chair and sits down, trying to process the information she had. "I kept wondering what my problem was, so he’d disappear after our kiss, but...” "On the bright side... it had nothing to do with you.” Evangeline nods, feeling sad about Ruby’s departure. Felippa decides to change the subject. She hated to see her friend crying. "How was yesterday?" question. "I was so tired, I could not stand to wait for you to arrive.” "Oh... it was nice. Alec is kind.” "And the opera? Was that all you imagined?” "And much more." Evie smiles, remembering the only act she watched. "Do you believe that Alec also has problems with his mother? From what I understand, they hadn’t seen each other in years, and she snuck in yesterday.” "It must have been a climan.” "It was. I gave up my desire to watch the opera to get Alec away from her. I didn’t thi

"And you understand why.” Dominique hands one of the glasses to Blake and occupies the chair next to him. "Don’t you find it easier to tell your son the truth?” “No!" He looks at her." I didn’t call you here to question my choices. "Blake...” "Enough, Dom! Telling Alec I’m dying will make him weak. He still needs to mature too much in this environment, so I can...” "You can’t control that, honey.” "I can do whatever I want." Blake murmurs, grumpy. "By the way, what are you doing here? Can’t you see I’m full of things to sign? Where’s your toy?” She rolls her eyes and drinks all the whiskey in a single sip. "My husband is at the hotel, waiting for me. I didn’t want to bring him here. It could be too much for Alec.” "Look at you! Mother of the Year!” "Save your debauchery for yourself, Blake." She gets up and heads for the door. "I’ll find him. And you, you rethink this stupidity of not wanting to tell your son about your illness.” [...] The night began to be pres

Evangeline, The Wish Of The Mobster EPILOGUE
"Today is five years since the great fire that destroyed the old Baker family factory in New York. In addition to some bodies that were unrecognizable due to fire, the bodies of Paul and Jonah Baker were found. At the time of the incident, the only heiress of the family, Davine Baker, who was hospitalized in a psychiatric clinic, was released and put her mouth on the world, saying that her father was the mastermind for the death of former city magnate Blake Castello. Since then, our press has been searching for the Castello family, but none of them have been seen more. With the exception of Dominique, former Castello and also former Harris, who travels the world and makes clicks to each country. All the other family members disappeared, as if there were no more. Where did they..." The television is turned off suddenly and the girl looks back furious. "Hey! I was watching.” "It’s time for school, Allegra. You shouldn’t be seeing information about New York.” The girl rolls her e
Evangeline, The Wish Of The Mobster FINAL
"I am not available at the moment, leave your message and I will return soon." That electronic message that sounded every time Alec called Evangeline’s phone was making him extremely angry. He had tried to contact her several times throughout the day, but she had not returned her messages or phone calls. At the end of the day, Alec decided to personally go look for her. He began by visiting the places he knew she frequented, but no one seemed to have seen her or Allegra. Not even in the taco food truck she loved to go to. Alec became increasingly concerned and decided to go to Evangeline’s house. He knocked on the door several times, but got no answer. He started playing the intercom several times, but still, no one answered. "Shit!" He grunts, banging his foot on the balcony floor. "Alec? ls everything okay?” "Felippa!" Alec hurries to her and holds her by the shoulders, which leaves her alarmed, by the state of agony. “Do you know where Evangeline is? I’ve been calling

Evangeline woke up that Saturday with a strange feeling in her chest. She had agreed with Allegra that that day would be only two of them, where they could do whatever they wanted. The little one chose to go to a park, where they spent the day in complete harmony. They walked through the grass, fed the ducks they had in the lake, had a picnic and lay on the cloth, facing the shape of the clouds. When the afternoon was falling, Allegra wanted to have an ice cream before going. As soon as she asks for two ice cream, Evangeline realizes she only has a single fifty dollar bill in her purse. "I’ll go around the corner and change and be right back.” Mother and daughter sit on the bench next to the cart, enjoying the strawberry ice cream. Suddenly a large black van stops before them and opens the door, showing two hooded and armed men. They jump out of the van quickly, frightening them both. Evangeline quickly raises her arms, trembling all over. "You can take everything." she says

"What was so urgent that you filled me with calls?" Alec asks Howard when the driver walks into his mansion office. "In fact, I took courage and proposed to Evangeline in marriage.” "Really, boss? Did you give up the ring that’s been in storage for ten years?” "It is..." he smiles passionately, as if he were not a violent mobster. "but do not tell her about it. I do not want to look like a soft man.” Howard laughs, almost forgetting the reason that led him there. "I would never do that. Anyway...” "You can talk. Don’t bullshit.” "First, as you asked me, I found Leah’s whereabouts. Evangeline’s mother.” "So what?” "She really is dead." Alec sighs deeply. "It’s been a few years since it happened. Looks like she was prostituting herself to get money for drugs. One of these days, she overdosed in a cheap motel room and a maid found her. At least she was carrying papers and managed to get a proper burial.” "It’s... less bad. But that’s not all you have to talk about.” "

The two lovers spent the entire dinner facing each other like two fools. They managed to eat with only one hand, because they could not uncouple the other. As they leave the restaurant, Alec decides to stop by an ice cream shop and take Allegra’s favorite candy. Halfway there, he receives a message from Howard, informing him that he needs to talk to him urgently. "Does it bother you if we see each other tomorrow?" Alec asks, dropping his cell phone. “I think he has some business problem. Many missed calls from Howard and a message wanting to talk urgently.” "All right. I think telling Allegra the news alone will be better for her head. Especially with chocolate ice cream.” Alec stops by Evangeline’s condo and they say goodbye there. After a kiss full of vows of love, Evie abandons the car and walks towards her best friend’s house. "Hi, Felps." she greets the woman, who was sitting on her balcony. When looking at her house, she is strange because everything is off. "Is Alle

When the conversation with Jude ended and they decided everything about Evangeline’s new job, the redhead left the school building, feeling nostalgic. She had her head in the clouds, thinking about everything that was happening in her life, which she did not even notice in the car and the man standing before her. Alec had to give her a whistle to stop and notice her presence. "Love!" Evie spins in the small jump she used and hurries to hug him. "What longing.” "A month to move in was too much. Don’t you think?” "No." she murmurs, scraping her lips into his. "This made my longing for you, make me climb the walls.” "Don’t talk like that... even more leaning on me like that.” The reaction Evangeline caused in Alec’s body was instantaneous. As she felt the volume in the middle of her beloved’s legs, she laughed and moved away a little. "Sorry!” "Ah, come on." he holds it in his hand and pulls it to his arms again. "Later we solve it, for now, we go to dinner. You have a l

As soon as he landed in New York, Alec went to his company headquarters, where he would meet with his partner, Paul Baker. For Paul, it would just be a routine meeting to discuss whether the merger between the two families was successful. The two mobsters sat in a dark, well"protected room at a meeting to discuss business. They looked at each other intensely before they started talking. "So, how are things in our territories?" Alec asks, opening some buttons of his jacket. "All right, all right. We’re expanding our operations and we’ve been bringing more money into the business.” "That’s good. I heard our rivals are causing problems again. What’s the situation?” "Yes, they are meddling in our business. But don’t worry, we have trusted men taking care of it. They won’t cause any more problems.” If there was one thing Paul Baker was good at, it was solving problems. Mostly using violence. "Great. But you know I’m a busy man, and I need to make sure that everything is unde

When the moving truck stopped in front of Evangeline’s house, she came down and helped Allegra do the same, ready to give instructions where she wanted things to be placed. Before he even opened the door, his phone started vibrating in his pocket. It was more than one of several messages from Alec. The last one was audio. "It doesn’t make any sense for you not to stay at my house. Audrey already pissed me off, asking me what I’d done to make you not want to live with us." Evie rolls her eyes and puts her phone away again, finally opening the door. She decides to keep watching everything outside. Allegra sat on the curb, watching some random videos on the internet. "Evangeline?" She turns and finds Howard coming down from a car. "You’re here!” "He told you to come here? I won’t live in the mansion! Alec is impossible.” Howard laughs and shakes his head in negative. "Not really. Today is my day off. I came..." the driver looks sideways at Felippa’s house. "Felippa called me
Evangeline, The Wish Of The Mobster 85
Alec’s cell phone alarm was set to wake up every day at seven in the morning. And as it was Sunday, hearing that noise, Evangeline grumbled for him to hang up and continue to sleep. Since his phone had been in his pants pocket, which was lying on the floor of his room, Alec had to get up to go there. When he opened his eye and sat down, he noticed a small figure beside the door, looking towards them with a lot of curiosity. "Evie?" Alec calls, pushing her slowly. "Evangeline?” "What do you want, Alec? Can’t find your phone?” "I think you’d better sit down.” Sleepily, the redhead lifts her body up and yawns, staring at Alec. As he stared forward, she followed his gaze and found Allegra there. "Daughter!" Evangeline gets up quickly and goes to the confused girl. "Hi... I..." she looks at Alec. "Get dressed! Come with me, Allegra.” Evangeline holds the girl’s arm and leads her to the room. "I can explain." she says, looking at her daughter. "What?” The woman blinks
