FORBIDDEN LOVE WITH THE MAFIA KING 60
RICARDO I didn't react to Enzo's words as I remained surprisingly calm. Maybe I was this calm because I had expected him to suggest something like this. He didn't like Kayla one bit and that much was obvious, though I knew he said this for my own benefit. Ever since Kayla came into my life, I've been acting different even if it's just a little bit. He must be worried about the change it's causing and I understood his view point. “ You can get another red-head … A hotter one to be precise. We can even get a model for you,” he threw options around. “ I'm not interested in supermodels,” I stated. “ Sure, whatever you say,” his tone didn't mask the sarcasm enough. I once used to sleep around with models so it would be hard to convince him that my taste had suddenly changed. “ But you need to let her go, Boss. She's not worth being hung over.”I glared at him. “ Don't tell me what to do, Enzo. Wasn't this supposed to be a suggestion?” I frowned. “ Yeah,

RICARDO Once it was 7:30, I headed to the underground parking lot to wait for Luca in the car. I could have stayed longer at the office but I really was somewhat anxious and bothered by what we had to discuss tonight. “ This sucked,” I pulled out a cigarette and lit it. How long has it been since I stopped smoking? Kayla hated the smell of cigarettes so I stopped smoking it. I had initially planned to just not smoke in front of her but I found myself changing for her. I don't know why she has a sort of effect on me. “ Why does time seem slower today?” I complained as I waited impatiently in the car. I heard a knock on the glass of the passenger seat - it was Luca. “ It's about time you showed up,” I smirked, relieved that my wait was finally over. I opened the door for him to get in. “ I'm actually quite on time - earlier than planned if I may add,” he said, looking at his watch. Was he always this annoyingly precise? Maybe that's the reason he and Enzo

RICARDO Getting to the parking lot in the lounge, Luca parked the car. We had agreed to call one of our men to pick us up once we were done drinking, though it still seemed Luca held it against me that I didn't think things through. I just wonder how his workers survive with such a perfectionist nature. “ Let's head in, Boss,” he snapped me out of my thoughts as we came down from the car. The dim, smoky atmosphere of the lounge was a clear contrast to the bustling city outside. It wasn't even that dark out but the club was dark with only colourful, dim lights illuminating the place. It had been a while since I went drinking for leisure purposes solely. “ Mr Ricardo?” An attendant walked up to me. “ Yes. Did you prepare what I asked you to?” I inquired. “ Yes, sir. Our boss told us to treat you with utmost care,” he bowed his head. “ As he should,” I said. “ Show us to our VIP room.” “ Right this way, sir,” the attendant smile

RICARDO “ W-what?” The attendant widened his eyes in shock. “ Ahem, I must have misheard you, sir,” he cleared his throat as he regained his composure. “ No, you didn't. I said what I said,” I answered nonchalantly. “ They were indeed accurately picked and I appreciate the thought but I don't need them for tonight,” I repeated myself. “ B-but sir… if they're really to your taste, why wouldn't you want them? If there's anything you want me to do, then I'll do it,” he was being pesky. “ Did any of the girls suddenly make you lose interest or did any do something you weren't comfortable with?” He questioned. Was he trying to get these innocent girls to pay the price of being rejected by me? Not that I was righteous enough to care but then again, it wasn't in my nature to accuse someone falsely… the memory of me accusing Kayla falsely came to mind. Of all times for me to remember this. Maybe I could atone for what I did to Kayla by helping these girls. I wasn'

RICARDO Luca got one of our men to pick us up from the lounge since I was drunk and he was tipsy. Throughout our ride back home, my mind rested on Luca's words. Had I really fallen for Kayla? As much as I wanted to deny it, it explained a lot of things, from the way I reacted to the way her presence in my life changed me. She had changed me over time and my attitude towards her was obvious that I cherished her but the real question was, did she feel the same way about me? I covered my face with my hands as the question weighed heavily on me. What if she didn't feel the same way I did? Would that mean there's no hope? How can I find out about how she truly feels for me when she's angry at me? For all I care, she might even hate me right now. “ I feel like crap,” I pinched my nose bridge. “ Is something bugging you? We'll soon get to your mansion, Boss. You just need to sleep and take a hangover soup so you'd feel a lot better by tomorrow,” he said, assumin

KAYLA I sat down blankly in the leisure area of the house as I stared at the jigsaw puzzle I had been playing with Lisa. My mind went back to this morning, how Ricardo had asked me to let him in and promised to change for me. I initially had no plans of entertaining his false claims and lies but the more he spoke, the more my heart raced and like my body was independent of my will, I hoped and fell for his words. What was wrong with me? This wasn't the plan, Kayla! How many rules have I broken? Not only is my resolve about this mission wavering, I ended up falling for my very own target. How crazy I must be… “ Kayla… Kayla?” Lisa's voice brought me out of my thoughts. “ Y-yes?” I snapped out of it. “ What's wrong with you? You've been holding on to that piece since forever,” she stood in front of me with a tilted head. She looked at me suspiciously. “ Have I?” I laughed awkwardly as I scratched my head. “ Sorry, I must have gotten los

KAYLA I and Lisa looked at ourselves as the door bell rang. We weren't expecting anybody, well, at least I didn't think so. “ Are we expecting anyone today?” I asked Lisa. “ No but don't worry, Kayla. It's probably nothing serious or dangerous,” she assured me as if she could read my mind. “ I never said it was,” I muttered, denying that I had been skeptical. “ Sure, you didn't,” she chuckled. “ I don't need to remind you that this isn't just anyone's house but the Boss's house. One can't just enter and come in,” she confidently said as she reached out to me. “ You're right,” I heaved a sigh of relief. “ Good. Let's go and see who it is though,” she suggested with a bright smile. “ Do we have to?” I hesitated. “ Scared?” She taunted. “ Not a chance,” I denied as I took her hand. She pulled me up from my chair. “ I just wanted to taste what we made so bad,” I lied through my teeth. “ You aren't exac

Chapter 67KAYLA “ Are you sure you want to wait up here for him?” Lisa asked concerned. “ Yes, I'm sure,” I smiled as we walked into his room. It brought back memories… memories I'd rather forget. It had been weeks since I last entered here and never thought I would until now.Lisa followed me to the balcony of his room as she wouldn't stop worrying. “ It's alright now, Lisa. You can leave,” I dismissed her once I was seated on a chair on his balcony. “ As much as it's only right to trust your words, I'm worried. You've been acting strange ever since you received the gifts from Boss,” she was observant, noticing the slightest shift in my emotions. “ That's true but what exactly are you worried about? Are you afraid that I'd jump down from here seeing how much you were against me waiting here on his balcony?” I questioned, staring into the skies as the evening breeze caressed my face softly. The air up here was nice and fresh - I could sleep ou

KAYLAFive years later Liliana barged in with Nico following her behind. She was always so extra. “ Slow down, you're going to fall at the rate you're going,” I said to her. “ Lio! I've missed you,” she hugged me dramatically. “ We met like a month ago, Lily,” I reminded her. “ Even though,” she was persistent. “ I don't think I can live without you. What if we live together?” She suggested. “ You're married, Lily,” I pursed my lips. “ We can still live in the same house,” she insisted. “ You keep forgetting that you're married and you have a child,” I have her a flick on the head. “ Nico, do you need a break perhaps?” Dealing with Liliana must be too much for him. “ Apparently, I signed up for this,” he sighed as he rocked Arianna, their four-year old daughter. She looked like Nico. “ Is she still asleep?” I lowered my tone. “ Yes. She'll be sad if she can't see you today, she was antici

KAYLATwo days later Contrary to how I thought I would feel, I didn't feel hollow or empty. I would be lying to say I wasn't sad but I also felt good that I had ended things with him. Our relationship never had a solid foundation. “ Can't believe it started out toxic and ended toxic,” I mumbled. “ What are you going on about, rambling to yourself?” Liliana said. I turned around to find her leaning against my door post. “ You startled me for a second,” I held on to my chest. “ You really should learn how to knock,” I frowned. She really had startled me. “ Yeah, yeah,” she rolled her eyes, not taking my words seriously. “ Did you want to tell me something?” I asked as she sat down on my bed. “ Yes and no,” she shrugged. “ Huh?” “ Don't think too much about your break-up with Ricardo. It was the right decision,” she said. “ Thanks,” I smiled warmly. “ I also wanted to let you in on a secret,” she leaned clos

KAYLAI tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. The moment Gian had stepped out of the room, I was not able to stop myself from breaking down again.I was such a weakling. I curled into myself as I cried my heart out while being mad about myself that I couldn’t stop crying and my heart wouldn’t stop hurting.I sniffled quietly, hours or probably after minutes. It seemed my eyes had dried off and there were no longer tears for me to shed.“I hate you, Ricardo” I muttered to myself as I wiped the tears that were drying on my cheeks. My sobs had turned into whimpers without tears.“How did I get here? Was everything all for nothing?” I asked myself as I turned to my back and stared at the ceiling while my heart and head wondered where it had all gone wrong.How the hell did I fall this deep from my first mission? Love was such a bastard. I was so stupid for falling for Ricardo and thinking I had his heart after all this time.Ricardo was a hardened criminal who thought of only the fami

GIANI unlocked the door and we both went into my apartment. My legs carried me to the switch and I turned on the lights and walked in. “Do you want anything to drink?” I turned to Kayla who was still lingering by the door. She opened her mouth and closed it a few times, hesitation present in her eyes but she finally made up her mind and gave a slight nod.“Come on, stop lingering like a stranger” I told her, attempting to lighten the mood but it didn’t work.She walked into the living room and took a seat on the couch while I walked into the kitchen to drink water.I may not be as drunk as I was as a result of having to go and pick her up but I was still tipsy and Kayla’s demeanor told me that I needed to be sober in case she needed me.I reached for the orange juice in the fridge because I didn’t think it is was right to give her alcohol even though she looked like she needed one.I poured the juice into a glass cup for the both of us before going back to her in the room where sh

GIANThe high-end club I loved to visit was known for its insane parties just like I love it. I knew I was drunk but I was still aware of my surroundings. Ladies swarmed me like bees and I wasn't one to complain about the attention as they took turns to grind their bodies against mine.The music was loud and I was certain I was going to have a headache tomorrow but who cares? all I wanted was to have fun right now.I leaned against the bar with a smirk on my face as the girls tried to get my solo attention. “Oh Gian, you're so hot” the blonde ladies dressed as provocative highschool girls kept fawning over me as they gave me more and more shots of alcohol. These girls were easy and worse still, some even came with their boyfriends! What a sad world. I had gotten into a few fights earlier tonight because of the boyfriends coming to talk smack at me for taking their girls. Like bro, how's that my fault? “Tell me something I don't know, ladies” I said with a smirk as I took another s

KAYLAIt was raining heavily as I drove my black car down the road. I was trying my best not to show any emotions but it was hard. I found myself unable to muster any emotions as I stared blankly at the windshield drenched in water with the wipers swinging from side to side as they attempted to clean it. Where was I even going? I asked myself but I couldn't come up with any answer. I could only drive while occasionally staring at the few cars that traveled alongside me on the dark and wet road.“F*ck you, Ricardo! F*ck you!” I cussed in mutters, trying not to let my rage get the best of me. I wanted my mind to be blank but I couldn't help myself.I was annoyed, pissed, enraged, angered….ahhhh! There wasn't any word in my freaking vocabulary to accurately describe how I felt. We were engaged for Christ’s sake. Yeah, maybe I wasn't the best partner but I did my best, didn't I? I turned my back on the government because of this man and he just casually trampled on my feelings and sa

KAYLA We talked about random things from my siblings to his siblings. He especially went on and on about his little sister, Lexi. I hadn't seen her but I knew she'd be adorable. The food showed up, a colorful spread of hot delicacies presented with style. Every dish was well seasoned and my previous distrust quickly faded. “ I really love the food,” I savored every moment of each bite. “ I'm glad you're enjoying it,” he was satisfied by my reaction. The atmosphere became more laid back as the minutes went by, as we laughed and enjoyed our dinner. By the time dessert arrived – dumplings or what they originally call Jiaozi – my initial apprehension had completely vanished. I found myself genuinely enjoying every bit of the restaurant. As we sat there, savoring the sweetness of the dessert, a comfortable silence fell on us. Axel leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on me. Looking up from my food, our eyes met and I couldn't bring myself to loo

KAYLA The motorcycle ride through the busy city streets was thrilling, giving me a brief escape from my worries. Axel parked the bike in front of a cozy restaurant on a quiet side street, bringing me a sense of relief. I had secretly been anxious about going to a fancy, high-end restaurant, fearing the expensive menu, unfamiliar rules, and possible social mistakes. “ Sometimes, I forget that I'm rich,” I sighed. Stepping off the motorcycle, I took a deep breath of the warm evening air scented with jasmine and a spicy aroma. It was a Chinese restaurant. " Ready for a surprise?" Axel asked, his eyes sparkling with mischief.I couldn't help but smile back. "Always," I replied, my apprehension replaced by a sliver of curiosity.He took my hand and led me around the back of the restaurant. My jaw dropped open in surprise. A hidden fake oasis unfolded before me.The backyard of the restaurant had been transformed into a breathtaking scene. Lotus lights sparkled on

KAYLA I reappeared into the living room where we all were. I was all dressed up for the day. “ How do I look?” I asked, wanting to know their opinion. “ Great as expected but aren't you too concerned about your looks for ‘ just an outing ’ with a friend?” Renato bounced his brows. “ What would you know about girls?” I scoffed. “ We bother about things like this no matter who we're meeting,” I found a way to justify my actions. “ So why don't you want us to tell Ricardo or anyone else about your whereabouts?” Renzo probed. “ And why were you blushing and playing hard-to-get over the phone?” Now, they were just exaggerating. “ By the way, we're not against it. We're totally in support so there's no need to worry about such trivial things,” Renzo have me a thumbs up. A playful smile tugged at the corner of my lips despite my flustered state. "Don't tease," I mumbled, shoving a stray strand of hair behind my ear. "It's not a r
