FORBIDDEN LOVE WITH THE MAFIA KING 70.
KAYLA As the evening went by and time flew past, I grew increasingly worried and bothered. Ricardo had said he would be back by six, but it was now well past that time. Now that I think about it, he really is in the mafia so he's job is dangerous. What if something happened to me and that's why Enzo was so riled up? No, Enzo will always be like that regardless of the situation. I tried to calm my nerves, but my mind raced with worry. Had he really been caught up in some dangerous situation?To distract myself, I decided to take a walk in the garden with Lisa. I listened to her chat away about a guy she met at the gym a few months back. “ So…are you guys dating?” I asked as we strolled. “ W-what? W-why would you assume that?” She stuttered, her face turning tomato red. “ You're nice, pretty and kind, so I just got curious,” I shrugged. Lisa was really gorgeous if we ignore how loud and pesky she could be. She had golden blonde hair with emerald green

KAYLA I dressed up in the green dress he had bought for me with the jewelries and the sunhat as well. What sorta date where we having that required such casual clothes? I looked at myself in the mirror as Lisa and the other maids got to work. “ You look so gorgeous, Kayla,” Lisa squealed as they finished up with my makeup. “ Someone might think I'm preparing for my wedding,” I replied sarcastically. “ You know, you're always such a killjoy,” Lisa rolled her eyeballs. “ And you're always so excited about what isn't even supposed to be your concern,” I retorted. “ I'm simply happy that my friend is getting her romance tale written,” she responded dramatically as she fantasized. “ You really need to stop watching soap operas,” I sighed. “ Can you stop talking and take a good look at yourself in the mirror? Damn, you look gorgeous,” she praised. “ I do?” I smiled warmly as she praised me. “ Yes, very much,” she

KaylaResting in his arms after we finished dinner, we sat on the beach and watched the waves crash on the shores. The night breeze was chill and relaxing. It was paradise. Things were finally starting to look up for the first time since our argument. “Hey Kayla” Ricardo's deep baritone resonated in my ears. His voice legit sounded like music to me. “Yeah” I responded as I looked up into his eyes. For some reason, he looked a bit nervous. That was really unlike him. “What’s wrong? Are you alright?” I asked, sitting up and touching his neck to check if he was feeling sick. He chuckled slightly and smiled at me; “I’m alright baby.” He said and gestured with his fingers. One of his men who had been on standby, quickly ran over to where we were and handed him a little gift box - a very little one. “What's that?” I asked. He didn't answer me but got to his feet and offered me a hand.“Come on, get your ass up,” he smiled. Was he planning something mischievous again? He wasn't the unnec

Kayla's“Welcome ma'am” Lisa smiled as I approached the car with Ricardo holding my hands. The driver was already in the car and Lisa stood outside waiting for me. “Hey Lisa. You look great today” I complimented her. She actually looked great all the time - she could legit pass for a model. “Thanks ma'am. You look stunning too.” She reciprocated the compliment, “Are you ready to leave now?” She asked. “Yeah, we can go now” I said. She nodded and opened the car door then I turned to face Ricardo. “Alright baby, I'll be leaving now. Don't miss me too much, okay?” I tugged his cheek. He smiled like a baby before responding. “Yes ma'am. I'll be waiting for you” he said. “Of course you will. That's a good boy” I said as I leaned in and kissed him. “Alright, see ya later” I said to him, waving as I left him and got into the car. He waved back like a father watching his daughter go to school. He always seemed to have that look for some reason. Lisa got in and we drove off. In a

RICARDO Kayla walked into the room munching on a bruschetta, her hair tied up in a messy pony-tail wearing a simple white tank-top some blue levi shorts and a pair of flip flops, despite how simple it all looked, you couldn’t help but notice the aura of elegance around her,“what? You are staring”.“Nothing kayla”. I quickly avert my eyes and bury them into the pile of work stacked on my table, Enzo must have brought reports from the consigliere, I scan through them, brushing through their contents, picking up one that seemed interesting running my fingers through the letters on the memo, one of the Capo narcotic syndicates was having a little skirmish with police, that wasn’t an issue though Enzo had connections with the “commssiariato di Polizi” i would have to alert him so he could handle it, none of the other files looks to be of any importance. Kayla comes to my side and bends trying to see the contents of the memo, the way her eyes squinted as she tried to read the Italian

KAYLAI picked up the phone and it’s a call from my boss Jonathan monroe, listening he asked me to meet him up at the agency headquarters, that there had finally found a way to break into the greatest mafia family in all of Italy, I hurriedly dressed into my khaki pants and white tailored shirt, putting in a pair of flats I quickly took a metro cab and hurried up 10thstreet northwest Washington d.c the headquarters of the federal bureau of investigation, I hurriedly greet the guard at the gate offering him up my credentials.“You know me”.“It’s just standard procedure ma, I have to always check,” I hurry up to the elevator but see a large crowd waiting, deciding to leave it running up the stairs, wondering to myself how he had solved the case, what was his plan on taking Ricardo down, finally getting to his floor I smile at the receptionist as I tell her who I was coming to meet“Jonathan Monroe,” I say assertively, “he is expecting me.”I walk up to the office and a plaque on the

KAYLAI fall down to the bed desolate, after Ricardo walked out of the door. I can’t believe how much have messed up soon Lisa walked in fiddling with her fingers as she always does when she’s nervous.“ we heard the shouting, probably everyone heard it for a mile radius. What happened ?.” The tears have held back for so long fully rush out uncontrollably, Lisa consoled me not fully understanding what had happened, we make it back to my room where all my belongings had been neatly arranged on my bed along with plane tickets leaving that night for John F. Kennedy International Airport. I wonder to myself how he was able to process all my documents in such a short time. Was this all I meant to him, why won’t he let me explain myself, I have never betrayed or hurt him why won’t he believe me. Everything in the room reminds me of all the times we’ve spent, the memories we’ve shared, I look about trying to commit every thing to memory, Lisa sits by waiting for me to control myself, so I

KAYLA I could feel my heart pounding as I rested my head on the glass window of the cab. The thought of facing my dad and everyone else broke something inside of me. I didn't know what to do - I wanted to run away. I wanted to disappear. I still couldn't even tell why I agreed to report to HQ. I could have just stayed with Ricardo - he would have protected me. “I'm such an idiot….” I muttered to myself. The cab driver looked at me through the rearview mirror. He was a rather good looking middle aged man. He clearly looked like a family man. “Relax kid. Don't beat yourself over it” he said. I creased my brows in surprise. What did he know about me to just chirp in his opinion? I wasn't in a good mood and I wasn't going to hesitate to show it. “You wouldn't get it, Mister. Just keep driving” I said rudely (well, as rudely as I could possibly be - which technically isn't that bad). “Yeah I'm sorry. I know it's not my place to butt in but we all mess up sometimes” he said, “Just

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
