FORBIDDEN LOVE WITH THE MAFIA KING 40.
KAYLA “ Enzo?” I gasped as I stared right into his dark eyes. He glanced into the bathroom suspiciously. “ Why do you look stunned to see me?” He frowned. “ Wouldn't anyone be startled if they opened their bathroom door and met someone just standing right in front?” I regained my composure as I countered his question with a question. “ I decided to check up on you and since you weren't in the main room, I believed you'd be in the bathroom,” he said with his gaze fixed on me. “ Do you think I had plans of escaping?” I questioned. “ Maybe,” he shrugged. “ I believe they'd be no use in running away seeing how your boss would find me anyway. Besides, how exactly was I supposed to escape when this room is on the top floor?” I arched my brows. “ Hmmm,” “ And if I hadn't opened the door right now, did you plan to open the bathroom door just to confirm that I hadn't escaped?” I gaslighted. “ My job is to ensure that you don't do anything stupid,” he answered, the tension ge

KAYLA I stood by the pool side walking around. To think his penthouse had a pool that I had happened to chance upon while waiting for him. “ Is he intentionally delaying?” I cussed as I crouched down beside the pool. The full moon reflected with such pristine on its surface. I dipped my hand into the water to disrupt it and mess up my reflection - I was bored just waiting. Thinking back at my conversation with Leila, was I being overconfident? What if he really has just decided to leave me in his penthouse while he goes about doing his stuff? “ Does he think I'm some sorta house cat?” I frowned at the thought. “ Well, you'd make a very cute orange cat,” a familiar voice came from behind me. “ Ri…” in an attempt to stand up, I tripped on my own foot and came crashing down but luckily he caught me and by he, I meant Ricardo. “ See? You'd make a pretty good orange cat if we ignore the fact that you'd do anything but stay away from water,” h

KaylaThe rays of the sun filtering through the curtains fell on me and I pulled the covers over my face, hoping to shut it out.This action seemed to be futile and I groaned, pushing the duvet away from my face and peeling my eyes open.What happened last night?My head felt foggy, like I’d been asleep for hours and I still felt drowsy.I yawned, sitting up slowly as I rubbed my eyes while trying to remember what happened.I was supposed to talk to Ricardo last night, but somehow I never did.My heart raced a little as it hit me, and I sobered up immediately; I didn’t get to tell him what I needed to. Throwing the covers off, I swung my legs out of bed and rushed out of my room.He had to be around somewhere. Maybe he was still in his room. I headed straight for his room, hoping to find him but it was empty. The bed was neatly made as if no one touched it last night.Didn't he sleep here?Frustrated, I turned and headed towards the pool, thinking maybe he was outside.I didn't bot

Chapter 43 KAYLA Seeing him walk out on me made me angry and sad for some reason. What even made me think it would be this easy? “ What's wrong with you, Kayla?” I cussed. I had expected that things would be difficult and getting him to agree to my terms would be a lot more difficult but reality hit harder than predictions. As I remembered Leila’s words, it made me wonder how she said it with so much ease like talking to him would get him to change his mind. “ This sucks,” I muttered as I left go of my cutlery. I had completely lost my appetite from disappointment mingled with anger. I got up from the dining chair and took both his plate and mine to the kitchen but seeing how he had personally cooked for me, throwing out the food seemed like a waste. “ It's not everytime you get to see a Don cook for you,” I convinced myself before stuffing the food into my mouth. I wonder where he learnt to cook. With that, I headed to the library in the penthouse to browse through its c

KAYLA I looked at him as he locked hands with me. What was he trying to do? I tried pulling my hand away from his but he held me tight. “ What? You don't want me to hold you now?” He acted like I was throwing unnecessary tantrums. “ Of course I don't want you to. If I did, I wouldn't want to remove my hand,” I let him know. “ Too bad, I don't want to let go,” he replied cheekily. What was he? A child? “ Let's head in now,” he said pulling me along with him. Getting into the mall, it was indeed clear. No other people except us and the workers but why did he go all out? “ I did it so you can shop conveniently,” he said as if reading my mind. “ I never told you I wanted to go shopping though,” I frowned. I just disliked how he did whatever he want without ever asking me what I wanted. “ I hear all girls love to shop though,” he rubbed his chin genuinely confused. I couldn't speak for all the girls but I knew lots of girls loved shopping and th

KAYLA Walking around the park, I took in deep breaths. The wind rustled the leaves of the trees around and for a brief moment, I had forgotten that I was supposed to be angry at him. “ What is your deal?” I turned back to look at him suspiciously. “ Hmm, I don't know what you're talking about,” he claimed. “ You seem to love nature,” he strayed from the topic. “ Who doesn't like nature?” I replied with squinted eyes. “ I don't know,” he said brushing his finger tips over some shrubs. “ I don't get it,” I said, walking up to him. “ What don't you get?” “ First you walk out on me during breakfast, then you come back in the afternoon only to threaten and intimidate me, then you go ahead to take me shopping and now we're taking a stroll in the park,” I listed everything that had happened today. “ What do you want from me?” I questioned. “ I planned on taking you out to dinner after this,” he said, adding to

KAYLA “ I'll take my leave for now, Red. I'll be back to check up on you tomorrow,” he patted my head. I couldn't let this opportunity go. “ Why not stay the night?” I tugged on his shirt invitingly. I wasn't sure if I was prepared for what I was asking for but I knew that if I wanted my plan to move forward, I had to take the bold step. “ Maybe next time,” he was persistent about leaving. “ Are you have someone else other than me?” I acted innocent and sad. “ What?” “ I asked if you have someone else because why are you so insistent on leaving?” I pressured. “ I don't know where you're getting all these thoughts from,” he rubbed his palm across his face in frustration. “ I'm leaving simply because I don't want to hurt you,” he clarified. “ And would it be considered hurting if I consented?” I bridged the gap between us and placed my hand on his chest. “ You…” “ You can't hurt me if I don't mind,” I said in a so

KAYLA “ Fuck!” He cussed as pressed me against the wall as he kissed me. Lifting me up, he carries me to one of the rooms in the penthouse and drops me on the bed. He takes off his jacket and then unbuttons his shirt with haste. I knew he was muscular but this was the first time I got to see it this close up. I sat up, not sure what I should be doing in this situation. “ You're the one who wanted to do this, so don't just sit there. Strip,” he commanded. Hesitantly and nervously, I took off everything I had on except my underwears. He slid his hands up my thighs to my hip as he placed one knee on the bed. “ Why didn't you just take everything off? Or do you prefer it to be ripped apart?” He asked, kissing and biting my neck. He pushed back flat on the bed. “ You didn't specify what you wanted ‘off’,” I made emphasis as my face reddened in embarrassment. I couldn't bring myself to tell him that I was wary and anxious since this was going to be my first ti

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

HAVENA week later… I picked up my phone and dialed a number I had previously thought I hadn't taken. It was about time we meet up. “ Yes, hello,” I greeted the moment Marco answered. “ I'm surprised you called me so suddenly,” he laughed awkwardly. “ Well, I nearly forgot that I took your number,” I admitted. “ Ohhhh, I'm not surprised,” he remarked. “ No, that's not what I meant. What I meant was I had forgotten that we had exchanged numbers because I was tipsy when it happened,” I confessed. “ It's alright, ” he dismissed and unlike me, I actually felt a bit guilty. “ So....” I hesitated. “ So?” He urged. “ I'm getting off work soon. Would you like to meet up?” I asked. I was at home but well, I didn't want it to look like I was jobless. “ Sure, I mean it's not like I have anything doing tonight,” he accepted. “ Where are we meeting?” He inquired. “ Same place where we met,” it was perfect for a second meeting and perfect for wh

A week laterHAVEN “ Wait, where are you headed and dressed like that?” Iris asked the moment I walked past her on black booty shorts with black net socks and a black corset topping it up with black boots and gothic makeup. “ Can't you take a guess?” I said twirling so she could have a closer look. “ Hmmm... Nope, don't see nothing,” she said after a while of peering. “ I'm out to a club to grab some drinks and party? Well, I guess that's the plan,” I shrugged. “ Are for real right now?” she scoffed. “ I didn't think you'd go partying in a place you're unfamiliar with. That's definitely unlike you,” she said. “ It's all because of that damned bride of Ricardo, of course. You know how much effort I put in to get dad to let us come to Italy alone, right?” I sat down on the papasan chair next to Iris as I narrated. “ You still haven't gotten over the fact that he's now engaged and planning his wedding?” Iris asked like it wasn't supposed to be a big d
FORBIDDEN LOVE WITH THE MAFIA KING 115.
KAYLA A month later I had managed to get dad to let me marry Ricardo and after much thought he accepted with a condition in place of course. The condition was that I would live with him for a while before deciding whether or not I could handle him. “ You look so gorgeous, Miss Leona,” my personal maid squealed as the make-up artists finished up with my makeup. “ I look so much prettier,” I smiled softly as I stared in the mirror. “ What nonsense are you spewing on such a special day?” She reprimanded. “You’ve always been gorgeous, young miss,” she praised. Today was I and Ricardo's engagement officially and it was being held in our family estate with different mafia families being present today. This also meant the big reveal. Ricardo was going to see who he'd be marrying today “ I appreciate the compliment,” I chuckled as she dismissed the make-up artists. “ And I'd prefer if you'd just address me by my name. No need for honorifics,” it

LILIANA Weekend I laid on the beach bed or rather pool bed since we were by the pool side. I picked up the orange juice on the table besides me and sipped from it through the straw. “ So our mission was successful? ” Nico lifted his shades to his hair and looked at me. He was right next to my bed. “ Yup, as expected. Our plans never fail, ” I smirked as I swirled the orange juice around in my cup. “ But there was this one time when you came up with a... ” “ Not now, Nico. Besides, that was just once, ” I adjusted myself on the bed, placing my hands behind my head. “ It was actually four times, ” he reminded. He was out to embarrass me. “ Okay, I get the point but what matters now is this one and all other of my plans excluding those four have been a success,” I said. “ You've still had a lot of messed up plans but I guess, you're free to do whatever floats your boat,” he intentionally got on my nerves as he sipped from his cup. “ If you're done talking, let's
