Evangeline, The Wish Of The Mobster 45
"Alec, please!" Evangeline knocks on the bathroom door repeatedly. "We are already late and I need to use the bathroom!” "I’ll be right out!” Evie snorts and walks back and forth, trying to fool her into going to the bathroom. A week had passed since Alec had left the mansion to share a room with Evangeline. Could he have taken any other room? Could have. But if this had happened, they would not have exchanged kisses and caresses all week, and would not be closer each day. On the first day, she tried tirelessly to get him to change his mind. Despite liking the idea of having him around and not needing to see Dominique’s face, Evie worried about Blake’s health condition, which apparently no one knew. But it was in vain. Alec was adamant and said he would only come home after he removed the stitches. That day has come and Alec is winding in the bathroom, trying to make them late and can only go the next day. He was literally ready and only his image was incarnated in the

"Wow... having money is really good." Felippa murmurs, abandoning the car. "This work is very advanced.” The houses would be made of wood and the whole structure was already assembled. "Yeah. I’m also surprised." Alec says, walking to the contractor. "I go there to talk to the building manager and I’ll be right back.” "And we’ll see if there’s any matches. Come on, Felps.” They go to the makeshift mailbox there and Evie takes all the mail. She goes one by one, looking for just one thing. "Here." murmurs, handing the other letters to his friend. "He sent another.” "Your father?” Evangeline just nods in the affirmative, already tearing the envelope. She keeps the dollar bills in her pocket and opens the pink paper. Dear daughter, Still no answers about you. If I hadn’t been so swamped with my work and afraid of the rejection you might have of me, I would have come to see you by now. I’d really like to know how you are, what you’ve been doing... are you already in

"Diamonds?" Alec looks up at his father, who was on the other side of the huge table. "Do you want to go into that business?” "I want you to get into this business. Alec... I don’t have any more...” Blake swallows it dry. Evangeline’s words, about him telling the family about his illness, kept spinning in his mind. And while I am absolutely clear that the redheaded girl was right, the head of the Castello family felt that it was not yet time to speak. He didn’t want to take the focus away from Alec, the new businesses that were to come. "Dad? Don’t have what?” "Time to waste. This drug and prostitution business is getting old. The siege is closing.” "And you think diamonds is the best thing to do at the moment? By the way, what do you want to do with it? Open a jewelry store?” "No." Blake opens the cigar box and takes one. "A contact of years, sold me a source of rough diamond. It’s a secret mine under an old hill. You just need to meet with the miners and exchange the di

Over seven hours later, Evangeline felt extremely exhausted from the trip. She left the plane feeling even more lost than before. I had no idea where to find your only suitcase. Before taking another lost step, she feels a touch on her shoulder. As he turned, he faced the man who had heard the conversation before boarding. "All right? You look lost.” "Yeah." She smiles embarrassed. "I’m new at this travel thing... I have no idea where to get the bag.” "Ah... come with me. I’ll get mine too.” Evangeline follows the unknown and arrives at the place where the bags leave. "You were on the same flight as me." he says, looking at Evangeline and the treadmill interspersed. "Are you from New York?” "I am. And I have to thank you. I overheard your conversation and through it, I found out where I had to go to catch my flight. Thank you!” "Really?" he asks, laughing. Evie says with her head. "Nothing then. By the way, I’m Mason.” "Evangeline." They share a simple handshake.

"Atkins? Look, this building has fifty floors and over a thousand rooms, but I’m pretty sure there’s no Samuel with that last name here.” "Ah..." Evangeline squeezes the paper that was still in her hand, against her chest. "That was the address I had, but... it may be wrong. Thank you!” Before Evangeline is able to escape and board the first flight back to New York, the receptionist calls her. "But there’s a Samuel here. He’s one of London’s most wanted lawyers. Samuel Ballard.’ Evie couldn’t remember what her father’s job was before he left her and Leah behind. But she was sure it was nothing grand like that. "I don’t think it’s him...” "Well, there’s only one way for you to find out." the receptionist types something into her computer and then hands a card to Evangeline. "Insert that card into that turnstile and you can go up. Mr. Ballard’s office is on the 30th floor.” "Are you sure?” "Go, little girl!” In a wave of courage, Evangeline smiles wide at the recepti

"Obviously I thought it was a mistake. It was the first thing I thought and told the doctor. When he told me that his mother’s name was Juliane, I started having a tachycardia. I felt like the whole floor was opening and swallowing me. As soon as I recovered, I asked to see Juliane. And it was her. Juliane had suffered a car accident and before going out, gave my phone to the doctors, saying that I was the father of the daughter she was pregnant. I wasn’t able to find any of her relatives and at her wake she only had the people she worked with. After a doctor’s orientation, a DNA test was done and found out what I already imagined. That baby, you, was really my daughter. After a few days and many exams, you were allowed to be taken home. And I took it. In the face and in the courage. For some unknown reason, Leah was sober that day. She looked down at me and joked, asking where I had taken that child. When I told her and she saw that I wasn’t kidding, Leah wanted to kill me. Litera

"Mason! Hi.” "So what?” Mason looks sideways at the table facing Evangeline. It took her a while to notice that he was offering to sit with her. "No, I’m not expecting anyone. Sit down.” After occupying the empty chair, Mason calls a waiter and makes a simple request. "Wine?" he asks Evangeline. "No, I don’t drink. Thank you.” "Excuse the rudeness, but is everything okay? Your skin is as white as snow and your face are red.” "Ah... I..." Evie runs her hand over her face and looks at her cell phone on the table. The screen saver photo, it was her playing the violin in the competition she won. "I forgot to bring my violin here and PMS brought my sadness.” "Violin? Do you play?” "Yes.” "Professionally?” "Oh, no." she laughs. "I have a scholarship, which I am sure I will lose as soon as I return to school.” "Fate is amazing, don’t you think?” Mason puts a shoulder on the table and faces Evangeline, leaning his face over his hand. "What do you mean?” "

"Castello?" Samuel frowns when he sees Alec there. He even lets go of Evangeline’s arm. "Ballard!? But what...” "Oh that’s cool. " Evie murmurs, smoothing the arm that was grabbed. "You know each other.” "Alec needed my help once.” "It is..." the mobster steps forward and reaches out to Samuel for a warm handshake. "He took me out of jail.” Evie stares at Alec. "Have you ever been arrested?” "I had drunk all that night and participated in a riot with unknown people. I deprecated a historic building and obviously was arrested. Samuel Ballard was the best lawyer in London.” "I remain.” Evangeline rolls her eyes, by her father’s pride. Alec notices, but continues his story. "He got me out of there the same day. And when I took over the family business, I hired him to take care of things around here. What he delivers with excellence!” "Too bad that’s not so in personal life." she grumbles to the ground, but loud enough for the two to listen. "And you?" Alec looks

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

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
