FORBIDDEN LOVE WITH THE MAFIA KING 1.
KAYLA “What the fuck is wrong with you, Kayla? How can you be late on this day of all days?" My best friend, Miro, scolded me as soon as I arrived at the office. “The universe is against me, Ro,” I whined. “I slept early yesterday, but I still managed to wake up late." Today was the briefing for our new assignment, and though my presence wasn’t needed since they never give me any assignments, my co-workers would never miss an opportunity to poke and complain about my lack of work ethics, which wasn’t true. My life was a trail of bad decisions and bad luck. My mother had died during childbirth after demanding that they save her baby instead when they told her the choice had to be made. That decision was the beginning of the hell that is now my reality. My father, Jonathan Monroe, has never looked at me with an ounce of love since I was born. To him, I should have been the dead one instead of Mom, and he wasn’t shy about being vocal about his opinion. I’ve tried so hard to get him

RICARDOMy mood turned sour with every pathetic moan of pain that escaped the battered lowlife tied to the chair in front of me. I hated the dimly lit room we used to torture those who went against me much more than the people who made me come here.Couple both hatred, and that’s enough anger to make me want to use the plier in my hands to pluck out his tongue so he could stop making my ears bleed with his tears. My underboss, Enzo, had only plucked out his fingers, and he was crying like a bitch’.“I’m sorry, boss. I didn’t mean to …” The fool cried out, digging his grave further. Another thing I hated more than torture rooms and idiots were liars and manipulators.“I would pluck out your tongue even though it would ruin my very expensive suit if I heard any more lies from you, Mathias. You didn’t mean to steal my drugs?”Mathias clamped his mouth shut. He knew better than to say another word.“Come on, Mathias. I hate to play a game of cat and mouse. Where did you keep the tonnes of

KAYLA “Girl, I can’t believe you are going to be getting another solo in one night. I’ve practically crawled on my knees for Bernado, but that good for nothing, pot belly bastard won’t budge,” Ivory whined from her spot in front of the dressing mirror. It’s been three months since I started working at The Underground. I arrived in Italy the next week, after the assignment was reassigned to me. Dad wasn’t happy, but he could do nothing since I was the only free agent, and they had to send someone. I was assigned a fake mother who was a cancer patient. She used to be an agent before she got sick. I also auditioned to become a dancer in one of Ricardo’s clubs. We thought it would make it easier to get direct access to the man, but it’s been three months, and he has yet to show up here. In those three months, I met Ivory, Issa, and Diamond. I wouldn’t call us best friends, but they were good to me, and we were tight to the extent we could. I also made a lot of enemies because Bernado

RICARDO’S POV The club was packed just as Luca had reported. “Fuck, the place is packed. The Bastardo must be earning millions but keeps turning in change and claiming that there have been no sales.” Enzo growled from his place at the front. I turned to the Eagle’s eyes Capo, Orlando, who was seated beside me, “Seems like you are going to get a new shirt.” I nodded toward his designer shirt. The Eagle’s eyes were basically a clean-up crew for the family. They were made of hitmen and enforcers who got their hands dirty when it was time and were the largest team in the family. “As long as he won’t be breathing by the time I leave, it would all be worth it,” Giovanni grunted. He was a quiet man. Unlike Enzo, who fitted the role of the Capo more with his love for blood and violence, Giovanni was and looked the opposite of the position he held, but one should never be fooled as he was extremely ruthless, just as a Capo was supposed to be. “He still has no idea we are here, right?” I a

KAYLA I had never been to this part of the club in the three months I started working here, and I guess it’s because it’s been reserved for him. It’s been three months, and I had gotten nothing useful for HQ, and they were not happy. I don’t know why Ricardo ordered a private dance from me, but I was too desperate to finally have something to tell HQ when I call in for feedback. There were men stationed outside the door when I got there, and they gave me that familiar lustful stare that I could never get used to. Ivory had chosen a red lingerie with fake diamonds. I took a deep breath and pushed the door open but was surprised to see that it was empty. “Go in; the boss will be here soon." One of the guards grumbled, so I entered the room and locked the door behind me. I listened for a few seconds and scanned the room for possible cameras before bringing out the burner phone that was given to me to contact Miro. I sent him a quick text to Miro to let him know that I was finally

RICARDOI didn’t look back as I made my way out of the club through the back like I had come in. My entire body was heating up, and I needed the cool breeze outside to calm me down. It was unreal how harsh I was breathing as I pushed past drunk and high customers just to get out.“Boss, do I get underboss and Capo Orlando?” The driver sputtered when he saw me. I don’t know where Orlando found the guy, but I guess he could drive well. I just got annoyed with how jumpy he was.

KAYLAI stayed seated for a few minutes after he stormed out. The only thing I could hear was the loud panting of my breath as I kept staring at the door.I took a deep breath to calm myself down before I gathered my things and began to make my way to the dressing room. I knew there would be questions, so I also prepared for how to divert them.

KAYLA “Mama?” I called softly and watched her as she opened her eyes slowly with a tired smile. “How are you feeling? Do you want me to get the doctor?” I asked worriedly. Even though we knew everything was fake, we still had to pretend, even away from the club, because we never know who might be listening. And it had stopped being a pretend game for me because she gave me the motherly love I never had. Leila worried about me like I was her own daughter. She knew about what life was with my father and told me to see her as my mom. This was why I was helping to pay her medical bills. She wasn’t making enough anymore to cover all the treatments she needed. Leila told me there was little hope for her to continue living, but I was going to hang on to that little hope. The treatment has been making her weaker than usual, so she was always asleep when I visited. I didn’t want to wake her up, so I just sat and watched her the entire time. “Kayla?” She asked groggily. “How long have you

KAYLA We continued to sit in each other's company without saying a word to each other. As weird as he may be, being around him was oddly comforting. “ So…” he paused, sipping noisily from a straw to annoy me. “ So?” I repeated, asking. “ So you really want to keep hanging on to my brother?” He said with a blank expression on his face. “ How many times are you going to ask me that?” I could feel the sides of my temple twitch. “ I'm just a curious guy who's baffled at some naive girl's decisions,” he was way too blunt. “ Maybe you mind your business and leave the naive girl alone,” I snapped. “ Knowing that you're the long lost daughter of the Russo family, there's absolutely no way they'd let this marriage proceed with you being treated terribly here. I'm guessing you haven't been in frequent contact with them,” I hated his wits and intuition. “ No, but I do text my twin sister regularly,” I said in a low voice.

KAYLA We sat down opposite each other in the gazebo and some maids brought us drinks and snacks. I honestly wasn't hungry since I had just eaten so I sipped from my glass. This was awkward. “ You aren't as wary as before,” he broke the silence. “ That's because everyone seems to know who you are. They wouldn't act that way if they really didn't know who you are,” I answered with a shrug. “ True,” he nodded his head. Why did he want to take a stroll with me? Did he have anything to say to me? “ Does Ricardo know you're here?” I felt the sudden need to ask. “ Of course not. You should have suspected that with my attitude, if he was aware, he'd have rushed down here,” he laughed it off. “ He didn't want me to meet his wife,” he smirked at me. “ Fiancee,” I didn't know why I felt the need to correct but I ended up doing so regardless. “ Hmmm, I thought you were some sorta lovestruck dummy,” he stuck out his tongue in disgust. “

KAYLA “ I don't know what you're talking about,” something about the way he acted didn't sit right with me. Was he really Ricardo's brother and younger brother at that? He's even taller and more muscular than Ricardo and even if for any reason he was Ricardo's brother, why would he be telling me things like this? “ You seem really skeptical about me,” he smiled. “ Who wouldn't be?” I didn't take my eyes off him even once. “ Sir Gian, please do not pull the legs of Miss Leona,” Lisa stepped in. She seemed to know him. “ Ahh, Lisa. It's been a while, how have you been?” His attention quickly shifted to Lisa. “ It's been as it should,” she shrugged. “ Boss didn't tell us you were around or coming at that but I'll prepare a room regardless,” she spoke formally to him even though the way he addressed her convinced me that they had a less formal relationship than she portrayed. “ Come on now, are you chasing me?” He pouted. “ It's not

KAYLA After letting some time pass, I headed downstairs. I had nothing else to do since I couldn't go out, so maybe I could have a snack. “ Miss Kayla, what are you doing here?” One of the maids gasped as I walked into the kitchen. I had rarely entered into the kitchen since I and Ricardo's engagement and even when we were just dating, I rarely ever did. “ I was wondering if I could snack on a thing or two,” I lied. I had gone downstairs in hopes of seeing Lisa. I wanted to let her know that my decision shouldn't affect our friendship, though I doubt she'd care to listen. “ Is that so?” “ Yes,” I nodded. “ Then, I'll whip up something for you. You must be hungry. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?” She asked. “ No, I haven't,” I took sometime before answering. I had actually forgotten that I was yet to have breakfast because my morning had been quite hectic. “ Alright, I'll make you breakfast,” she smiled. “

KAYLA Just as I was about to respond, Lisa walked in after knocking. I hung up and tried to wrap my head around things. Why would Ricardo give a direct order that would benefit me? Last time I checked, he did anything but care or even pay attention to me so I'd have sworn that he'd be pleased if I lost my job or at least that it wouldn't concern him if I did. “ Kayla? Kayla?” Lisa shook me “ Huh? Yes,” I nodded my head, snapping out of my thoughts. “ I was saying something to you but you seemed so out of it,” she said. “ Oh, sorry. What were you saying?” I felt guilty for making her talk to herself. “ Never mind that. Did anything happen while I was gone?” She asked, placing down my glass of apple juice. “ Why would you assume that something happened?” I faked a smile as I picked up the glass. “ For days now, you've been out of it but it was more because you were broken… well, at least, that's how you looked but

KAYLA Four days later I sat down quietly watching as Lisa took off my bandages. I'm glad it healed quite fast. “ The ointment the doctor gave me really worked,” I said, stretching my hands as I stared at it. “ Yes, I'm glad you're alright now,” she sighed. “ Would you like anything? Like a drink or food or just something,” she asked. “ Maybe an apple juice? Yeah, probably that,” I nodded my head. “ Alright, I'll be right back,” she excused herself to get me the drink of my choice. My mind went back to what had happened five days ago when I had gotten back from the team dinner. Even when I had first been with Ricardo for the mission, I wasn't this afraid of him. The look in his eyes as he forcefully scrubbed me was a sight I wouldn't easily forget. It was scary seeing him like that and for a moment, I doubted my choice. “ Maybe I should have listened to Miro and Liliana,” I muttered but I couldn't leave now, not after fighting

RICARDO I sat down waiting in a restaurant with Enzo and Luca by my side. Luca was obviously not happy to tag along but it was necessary to have both of them around as the person I was dealing with was way more trouble than even clients we deal with. “ Couldn't you bring Enzo with you alone? Why did I have to tag along?” Luca had been complaining since we got here. “ You complain too much. I'm more stressed than you as it is,” I pinched the bridge of my nose. “ No, I'm more stressed. I don't get paid enough for this,” he went on and on like he had lost a knot or two. Just then, the door of the private room slid open and he walked in with my men behind him. “ Ricardo! Long time no see,” he smiled as he approached. Just seeing him felt like some years from my life had been taken away. “ Why are you suddenly back?” I asked, squinting my eyes, not concealing how badly I'd prefer him not to be here. “ You could at least pretend to miss

KAYLA It had been a few weeks now since I and Ricardo officially got engaged and i moved in with him. He was barely ever around and I had a feeling he was intentionally avoiding me. “ Kayla? Kayla?!” Hannah, my co-worker who sat right beside me called my name. “ Yes? Did you need me for anything?” I snapped out of my thoughts. “ You're always so lost in thoughts that it's making me worried, not to mention that you've been making minor errors nowadays,” she sighed. “ I'm sorry,” I apologized. I had decided to take up this job at one of Ricardo's legal businesses managed by Luca. It was boring at home and it always made me tense with how much Ricardo ignored me. It would have been better if he had thrown a fit after he found out that I was the one he was marrying. “ Maybe you're pushing yourself too hard?” She worried. “ Not at all, I'm alright,” I smiled warmly to reassure them. “ That's what she always says. Here,” Mrs Smith, who was

HAVEN I stretched out on the king-sized bed which has layers of white sheets. It was still very early and I knew I probably missed Iris’ call but it was worth it. All I had to do was come up with an an excuse or beat the time and the second option was still possible. I could make it home before dawn if I left soon enough. “ You weren't as bad as I thought you would be. I guess I underestimated you,” I smirked as I stared at Marco who was fast asleep. I propped my head up with my arm. He looked even more innocent when he slept, it made me wonder if this was the same passionate guy of last night. I touched his face, caressing his jawline and paying attention to the details of his face. The more I looked at him, the more handsome he appeared. “ I can't believe I slept with a random person. Not to mention that I've been saving it for Ricardo when next we meet but then again, I might have grown old waiting for that to happen so I believe it's safe to say you were the perfect
