FORBIDDEN LOVE WITH THE MAFIA KING 95.
KAYLA Contrary to what I believed, I settled in rather quickly. It practically felt like it was my home to begin with - maybe because it was. “ Should we go shopping?” Liliana hugged me from behind as I stood beside a bookshelf in our library. “ It's barely afternoon,” I sighed, closing the book I was glancing through. “ Since when did shopping have a time allocated to it?” She let go of me and spun around, most likely already imagining how blissful it would be. “ Why does this feel like a family trait?” I muttered, remembering how Miro would always suggest that we go shopping whenever I was down. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a family thing. “ Did you say something?” She hadn't heard me clearly. “ No, I was just wondering if shopping is some sorta family trait given how Miro asks exactly the same way if we exclude his lack of expression,” I repeated. “ I don't know if it's a family thing but I mean, who doesn't like shoppi

KAYLA Shopping was even more exhausting with Liliana than with Miro. Liliana had taken me to all the shops possible whilst buying everything and anything in her path. “ Ugh,” I groaned as I fell face first on my bed the moment we got home. “ Today was fun, wasn't it?” Liliana sat beside me, still excited about our shopping spree. “ More like draining,” I buried my head in a fluffy pillow. “ Oh, come on. You're no fun,” she slapped my arm lightly. “ You can at least pretend to have enjoyed it,” she pouted. “ I never said that I didn't enjoy it, I said that it was exhausting,” I corrected. “ Same difference,” she claimed. The workers brought in the shopping bags before giving us our alone time. “ No, it's not,” I defended. “ Leaving that aside, how about we do some more bonding?” Liliana shook me slightly as she suggested in excitement. “ Isn't that what we did with the shopping spree?” I turned my head to th

KAYLA “ Wouldn't it have been better to just date a member of a mafia? I mean, you both would quickly connect,” I suggested. “ When I was younger, I did everything within my power to not date someone from the mafia,” she explained.“ I just wanted to love a regular civilian and live a normal life but it's like my life was against anything normal,” she said in a depressing tone. “ You said you were dating, right? Who are you dating now?” I was curious. “ You have to pinky promise not to tell dad or Miro,” she whispered as she stuck out her pinky. “ Is it that big of a deal?” I raised a brow. “ Shhh!” She hushed me as she grabbed my hand and made me pinky swear. “ It is and if either of these two find out, we're toast,” she said in a low voice. “ Your life seems like something straight out of the movie,” I commented. “ Right? Anyway, I told you about how I just wanted to live a normal life and date a regu

KAYLA “ Awwn, come on! You can't seriously chase your dearest sister,” she clasped her hand and gave me cute eyes. “ Why are you acting like the victim here?” I squinted my eyes. “ You're the one who keeps asking perverted questions. It makes me wonder how much of a pervert your boyfriend is,” I said. “ It's not my fault that you're prude. I mean, aren't you a tad too old to be ashamed of certain things or to be prude?” She asked me annoyingly as she poked my forehead playfully. “ Just stop being a pervert if you want to remain in this room for today,” I stated. I was about to die of second embarrassment for every word that came out of her mouth. “ Fine, so that means no more girl talk for today, right?” She asked with a sad and droopy face. “ Yup,” I nodded my head. “ Then how about we do something else to whirl away time while still bonding?” She suggested. “ That doesn't sound all too bad but I don't trust you for known reas

KAYLA “ Is something up between you and Miro?” Liliana asked as she reapplied her lip gloss. “ Well, we haven't been on good terms for some time now,” I sighed. “ Though, I'm more bothered by why you have to reapply your lipgloss and spray my perfume,” I emphasized. “ Don't be so stingy,” she waved her hand in upward and downward motions. “ A lady must look good and smell nice no matter the situation,” she inhaled deeply after spraying my perfume. “ It's a family dinner,” I squinted my eyes. “ In our house,” I added. “ So? Whoever said we couldn't put on airs in front of family?” She always had the last word. “ You still smelt like your perfume though,” I said. “ That might be true but my nose has already gotten used to the smell that I can no longer perceive it so dabbing some extra wouldn't hurt,” she shrugged. “ I can't deal with you,” I sighed. “ Come on, let's head downstairs,” I grabbed her by the wrist and pulled he

KAYLA I gasped as we walked into the large room. It looked like it was adequately taken care of as there was no dust in here contrary to what I had believed. My eyes moved between the multiple portraits of a woman with red hair and green eyes. She was the epitome of beauty. “ You must have wondered how mom looked right?” Liliana asked rhetorically as she shut the door behind us. “ Yes,” I muttered, my eyes fixed to a small frame on the table in front of the largest portrait in the room. It was my mom and dad, she was like an angel and seeing dad in his youth really made me realize just how handsome he was to pull someone like mom. Of course, he was fine even at his age. “ Dad said that this picture was taken when he and Mom started dating,” Liliana stood behind me. Chief Jonathan's words rang in my ears. As much as we took on Mom's features, we looked more like the combination of mom and dad, though, we leaned towards mom's genes. Our eyes w

KAYLA We made our way downstairs after spending so much time in the special room. Liliana had cried her heart out and I had comforted her. “ We're really late to dinner,” I sighed. “ I'm more bothered by how I look right now,” she looked at me hoping I would say something. “ What? Why are you looking at me like that?” I evaded her gaze. “ Do I look terrible?” She hiccupped, a trace of how much she had cried. “ If you want me to be honest, then you look terrible,” I folded my arms. “ You're such a meanie, Leona!” She flapped her hands at me as she called me by my birth name. “ Didn't you say a while back that you want me to be honest with you?” I poked her forehead. “ Damn it! I guess I can't deny that now,” she bit her finger nails. “ Anyway, why aren't your eyes puffy like mine?” She placed her face in front of mine. “ Why are you inspecting my face?” I squinted my eyes. “ Because why am I the only on

KAYLA “ We're going to ask him for help?” Miro didn't hide his irritation while I did my best to act natural after hearing something related to Ricardo. “ Yes, they're a powerful organization and beside, we're allies,” dad answered. As they talked, I got lost in thought for a moment - the only thing on my mind being Ricardo. If Ricardo was going to help out, does that mean that I might meet him again? Is there a possibility that I could? I toyed with my fingers as I thought hard. “ Are you alright, Kay?” Liliana leaned closer as she whispered. “ Huh?” I snapped out of my thoughts. “ I'm fine,“ I whispered back, forcing a smile. “ Even though, I still don't like the idea,” Miro was against it. “ They have people in th judiciary and in the police force so it would be easier to bring him down,” dad justified his decision. “ That reminds me,” dad cleared his throat, getting our attention. “ I wasn't sure if I should tell you this now but the

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
