Evangeline, The Wish Of The Mobster 74
Allegra was exceptional. In all areas. In swimming, in music, in writing, in school debates... everything. She is the kind of child who strives to be brilliant and accepts no less than that. A grade nine will never be good enough, because ten is perfect. And that wasn’t because of pressure from your mother, or because your grandfather was an amazing lawyer. While Evangeline thought she should drop the books a little and play more, the girl thought the opposite. The day she needed some cardboard boxes to make a model, Evie said that in the attic there were some and she could go there to choose. The girl was almost finished, when she found a small shoe box, full of memories. She abandoned all the others and sat down, looking at all those things. It had an old cell phone, an opera bracelet, a box with earrings and diamond string and many photos. Evangeline alone. Evangeline with Felippa. And Evangeline with a man whose blue eyes shone as bright as Allegra’s when she was seeing someth
Evangeline, The Wish Of The Mobster 75
Retracing the path she imagined never to take again, Evangeline felt that her heart would come out of her mouth at any moment. Because she had no idea that Allegra knew about Alec and was probably seeing him again. As soon as she reached the gate of the mansion, she did not hesitate to enter. Howard was finishing washing the car when he saw her go through the big iron bars. "Is it a mirage?" he jokes as soon as she approaches. "Evangeline?” "Hi, Howard. How long.” "I just won’t hug you, because...” The driver’s phrase was lost when the redhead approached him and hugged him. Years passed, but she still saw him as a fortress. "I thought I’d never see you again." Howard says, squeezing his arms around her. "Even more so here.” "Yeah... I didn’t expect to come back here either, but my daughter...” "Daughter?” "Long story." Evie sighs, walking away from Howard. "Is he there?” Howard nodded in the affirmative and motioned for her to accompany him. Evie took a deep breath

Allegra was sitting on the couch, waiting for her mother to recover from what had happened at the Castello mansion. When Evangeline feels comfortable, she leaves the kitchen and goes to her daughter. Before sitting down, she asks only one question: "How did you know?” “It started when I learned about genetics in school. There’s no way your green eyes, with Dad’s brown eyes, make my blues.” Evie smiles from the side. Although she is terrified that Allegra discovered it and went after the truth alone, she rejoiced at the cunning of the girl. "So I found a box with some souvenirs and saw his picture. Alec. The blue eyes... I remembered that you had become very emotional to see that same man in a news on TV.” Evangeline recalls that feeling. Upon hearing Alec’s name, related to an exchange of gunfire at a prostitution club, she was terrified. It was the first time she heard his name, after all these years, and she still had a chance that he was hurt. That same day, all the doubt
Evangeline, The Wish Of The Mobster 77
Knowing that Evangeline was in town and that they had a daughter together was torturous for Alec. Especially since Audrey wouldn’t let him near them. Not before Antony’s birthday. And it made him a little terrified. Alec missed Evangeline and having her with him, but it was not because ten years had passed that the dangers had disappeared. After Blake died and Alec took over all the business, he was targeted by his way of acting without caution. The day the club suffered the police beat, Alec managed to escape through the roof, but ended up hitting his head on an iron bar he had not seen. He was unconscious for hours and confided in Howard that he had had a dream at the time. Alec saw himself in an open, flowery field, alone, until a carriage approached. Evangeline would get out of that carriage and walk to him, with a beautiful smile on her face. He said that she said nothing, but that when they kissed, he had the feeling of a happy ending being sealed. The vast garden of the

And when Alec bumped into her body and made them both fall, that’s exactly what happened. Half the party stopped happening and kept staring at the two ex-lovers on the floor. "Jesus, Alec!" Evie grumbles, feeling a twinge in the back of her head. “Don’t you look where you’re going?” "Not when it comes to you.” They were so close that only the wind would be able to pass through that miserable space. Alec gasped, controlled the absurd urge he felt to attack Evangeline’s lips and stood up, reaching out to her. Evie struck Alec’s outstretched hand and stood up alone, running her hand through the dress then. "What triumphal entrance. " Audrey mocks, approaching Evangeline. "Are you okay?” "Aside from the excruciating pain in the back of my head and all these strange people staring at me, I’m fine.” "Sweet as a lemon." the blonde laughs, hugging Evangeline. "I’m very happy for you to be here.” "You and Allegra know how to be too persuasive." Evie narrows her gaze to Alec, wh

"Oh my God..." Evie murmurs, coming out of Alec’s arms. "That’s not how I imagined this conversation.” "Funny... I was hoping we’d mess up the table one more time.” Evangeline suppresses the laughter and hides her face in her hands. Alec approaches and takes her hands, making her look at him. "I love you. Shall we start again?” "Alec, there’s a lot open. Allegra and I have a life in London. You can’t think that just one kiss will make me drop everything.” Alec held his face with his hands and pulled gently closer to him. Her lips met in a soft kiss, which gradually became more intense. They gave in to sensation, their bodies approached as they kissed. Evangeline could feel her heart pounding in his chest as her hands ran down her back. The kiss continued, seeming to last for an eternity as they got lost in the sensation. When they finally broke the kiss to breathe, their faces were still close, their eyes meeting in an emotional look of emotion. "Does two solve?" Alec

Sophie opened her mouth at no time, as she had Dominique as her spokesperson. "What did you think? That Alec would be alone for the rest of his life?" Even if Evangeline didn’t say anything, Dominique distilled his poison. "Quite the contrary! After searches and more searches, he finally found Sophie. The perfect woman for him!” The last thing Evangeline wanted and needed was a fight with Dominique. She just looked at Alec and sighed. "I’m leaving.” "No, Evangeline... wait.” Evangeline lifted the hem of the dress and literally ran away from those three. Alec took a deep breath and decided to solve those problems, before going after his great love. "What the fuck are you doing here?” "It’s my grandson’s birthday. I’d never miss it.” "I’m not talking to you, Dominique." Alec’s hard, cold stare was landing on Sophie, who tried uselessly to hide behind Dominique. "I don’t care what you do or don’t do with your life.” "Wow, son... what...” "Answer me, Sophie. What the

"I wanted to stay more in New York." Allegra grumbles when they both leave a taxi outside her London building. "I didn’t know anything I’d like.” "Mom has a lot of things to sort out around here. New York and everything you still want to know will be there when we get back.” "Alec, too, huh?” Inside the elevator, Evangeline looks at her daughter, who had a mischievous smile on her lips. She did not want to give any false hope to the girl, so she just limited herself to smiling and shaking her head. As soon as they both entered the apartment, Evangeline dropped her suitcase by the door and removed her shoes. "I’m going to my room!" Allegra says, already up the stairs with her belongings. "I have so many things to tell Olivia.” "Without much detail, Allegra. Our life is nobody’s business.” "Not even my own?” Evangeline feels that her heart will come out of her mouth, with the fright she took. She turned and found herself leaning against the door leading to the kitchen,

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
