Evangeline, The Wish Of The Mobster 66
"That’s absurd. How long will they keep me here?” "At least you’re not in a cell, Alec.” Alec was walking around, his nervousness exhaling through his pores. If Blake saw him like that, he’d say he was waving a flag. "Sit here." Samuel pulls the empty chair next to him. "Stop getting agitated. It will look guilty.” It must be because I am. Alec’s luck that thoughts are private. He sits next to his lawyer, his legs still dangling in such restlessness. It must have been almost an hour ago that they were in there and no one had appeared yet. "I’ll see if I can find anything and you stay here.” Samuel barely gets up and Mason enters the room, with the face of very few friends. "I thought I would have to interrogate myself." Alec mocks, receiving an ugly stare from his lawyer and father-in-law. "I was with a more important person. Evangeline.” Alec’s countenance remains the same. Evangeline had no idea what he was going to do in London, so the chances of her saying som

"You must be confused, Ruby. Howard would be unable to do that...” Evangeline was hardly able to complete that sentence. She remembers that Ruby’s accident was at the same time that Alec was hallucinated and willing to do anything to be with her. "It’s him Evie... I’m sure.” "Oh... I don’t... I don’t know what to say.” Alec squeezes the car’s horn hard to get Evangeline’s attention again. He didn’t want her to get so involved with that boy again. "I need to go." she says, interspersing her gaze between the car and the scared Ruby. "Stop thinking about these things. I’m sure you’re confused. Probably with the amount of punches you took...” Ruby opens her mouth to answer, but Evangeline is quick to walk away. The boy is staring at the big black car to walk away, before entering the police station in a hurry. "Rubens?" Mason is frightened by the sudden arrival of his nephew. “I did not know they were in town.” "I saw who attacked me...” "Who attacked you? Wasn’t it an

"Is that dress really good?” It must have been the tenth time Evangeline asked that to her friend. Felippa felt that he could lose his temper at any moment, because he could no longer bear to confirm. And although the long dress, in wine color, was with the perfect fit in Evangeline, she wanted to be sure of that. She had no idea what kind of party she was going to or where it would be, so the dress should be good for any occasion. "Do you already know where you’re going?" Felippa asks, without taking her eyes off her phone. "No, but I’ve already received a message that the driver is on his way.” "Very strange all that secret. Not being able to know where you’re going is extremely dangerous.” "Yeah, I know. But it was my teacher who pointed me out. He’s never stuck on anything.” Felippa shrugs, as she did not know Jude and did not want to delve into that conversation. Howard was off duty that day and the exchange of sex messages they were having was way sexier than any c

Evangeline had created a timeline in her mind. After an hour of uninterrupted music, she would lean the violin and stretch her legs. She played with her eyes closed, so she wouldn’t be intimidated by all those masculine looks. Between one song and another, she takes the cue to look around and inspect the guests. No woman. Aside from her and the receptionist, there was no woman among the guests. Intriguing, she thought. But she didn’t let it kill her. She finished the first hour masterfully and stood up to reverence the applause received. "Can I get a sparkling water, please?" Evie asks the man at the bar. "Thank you.” While waiting, Evie moves her legs that were slightly numb. Even being in the corner of the bar, away from almost everyone, she could not stop feeling watched. She couldn’t even understand that feeling, since there was no one looking in her direction. "My God..." she murmurs, picking up her phone. Her finger swipes across the screen, in a fresh attempt to ca

"Davine, what madness is this? "It’s not crazy, Evangeline. It’s the truth. Evie, please listen to me. I’m taking risks, just by being here and talking to you." Evangeline is silent, so that Davine speaks at once what she knows. "My father... I recently found out that he has plans to dominate the city mafia and for that...” "He needs to eliminate who is in power." she completes to whispers, feeling her whole glass freeze with fear. "But he wouldn’t do it in front of everybody... would he?” Davine’s mouth trembles, for she was afraid of what might come out of there. And that makes Evangeline worried. “My God... I need...” "Evie, you never saw me here!" Davine says, preventing the redheaded girl from leaving the bathroom. "Please!” It was clear that she would never tell anyone that strange conversation she had just had in the bathroom, but Evie didn’t want to waste any more time. By now, Alec could be dead. Evangeline storms out of the bathroom, walking down the stairs
Evangeline, The Wish Of The Mobster 71
Evangeline couldn’t forget Blake’s last words, let alone the look he gave her. The key that was still in his hand, seemed to burn. When Alec stopped the car outside the mansion door, neither of them had the courage to leave. Alec feared the moment to tell what happened to Audrey and Evie tried to find a loophole to give Alec the key. He looks at the clock. It was past one in the morning. "Audrey should already be asleep." Alec comments aloud. "Better tell her in the morning.” "Yeah... I need a bath. Take off those clothes...” Alec jumps out of the car and waits for Evangeline to do the same, so the two can enter the mansion. Plans to inform Audrey only the next day go through the ground, because when the boyfriends enter the house, the blonde was coming down the stairs. "What happened!?" His eyes go directly into the arms of Evangeline, who were stained with blood. "Got hurt? Where’s Dad?” Evie and Alec exchange a quick glance, but that was enough for Audrey to unders

"I love Paganini’s technique. There are those who say that playing a piece of Paganini is like being crowned as a virtuoso, although some do not bother to take the pejorative side of the term.” "What would it be?” "As if there were no feelings.” Before anyone else could make a question, Nicolette enters the room knocking down his cell phone and drawing everyone’s attention to she. "Oh..." she murmurs, taking the phone and facing everyone in a shameful way. "Sorry to disturb. Lady Jones, call for you.” "You said I’m in class?” "Yeah, but she’s your best friend, and she said it was urgent.” She gets up and picks up the phone from her secretary’s hand, leaving the room then. "Felippa?” "Evie... hi. I’m sorry I called the school, but you weren’t answering your cell.” "Because I was in class.” "I know... friend, my father is dying. The cancer has advanced and the doctor thinks he does not pass this week.” "Oh... I’m so sorry.” "He’s been asking to see you for a fe

"Mother!" Allegra exclaims as she enters the old house of Evangeline. "What a beautiful little house.” Evangeline laughs at her daughter’s choice of words. "Little house?” "Yes... Grandpa’s apartment is much bigger. Ours too.” The apartment in which they both lived was what Evangeline had received as a gift when she turned twenty"two. As soon as she moved, she noticed that the simple gift that her father had given, had nothing simple. In addition to being in the center of London, facing one of the most famous historical points of the city, three families would be able to live there without any suffocation. "That’s right. Come.” Evangeline presents the whole house to Allegra. The girl is busy taking the white cloths that covered the furniture, while her mother took the bags to the room. Everything remained the way she had left it. And it caused her extreme nostalgia. When looking at the bed, the image of Alec half"naked, filled the room. "Mom?" Evie shook her head and

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

"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
