HER ONLY CRIME A pain well deserved
Emilia~Despite the fact that I was a good distance away from the diner, I still ran as fast as my legs could carry me back there.I spent the whole time thinking about Marcelo and what state I might find him in. I regretted leaving him all by himself, and hoped to at least find him still breathing.The diner soon came into view, and I sped up my steps at the sight of a broken glass door and a small crowd gathered around. Sirens were blaring really loudly in the air, and I could see a couple police officers and paramedics. My heart skipped a beat.I made a beeline towards the scene, jumping over the barricade. Luckily, everyone was too busy to notice me walking into the diner. I wanted see things for myself, I wanted to see if Marcelo was still in there.A body was placed on a stretcher and was carried past me. My eyes instantly widened and I followed after the medical team, trying to take the veil off the body. I was suddenly held back by a cop, who looked down at me with a stern ex

Emilia~"We can't take him to the hospital." Martinez spoke up from the driver's seat.I raised my head up to give him a questioning look."Why not?" "Well, this town's medical facilities suck, and the cops would also be there waiting." He answered.I was still quite puzzled about his answer, as a run in with cops has never been a source of worry to Marcelo before. I decided not to ask further questions however.Marcelo's head rested on my laps, and he had a frown on his face with his eyes closed. He was still in so much pain and I wished more than anything to be able to make it stop."Take us to my apartment then. I'll give you directions." I said to Martinez, after a long pause.He seemed to be in agreement with me, and immediately hit the gas pedal to speed up. Once we get home, I was going to have to face an upset Jennie, but I knew she would still be of help. I could try to take care of Marcelo's injuries, but Jennie happens to be way better at it. I just have to find a good w

Emilia~"Jesus, Emilia! Who the fuck are these people?!" Jennie shrieked, aiming her shotgun at us."And why are they in my house?" To be fair, I'd also be scared if I was Jennie. This was sometime around midnight and I was breaking into her house with Martinez, holding an injured Marcelo."Please put the gun away, Jennie. I can explain." I said to her, raising up my hands to show her that we were not threats "Oh, you better do!" She hissed, finally lowering her gun and shifting her attention to the two men behind me."Don't even think about it!" She snapped at Martinez, as he attempted lowering Marcelo onto one of the sofas."I don't want no blood stains on my sofa. Come on!" She said, walking towards another room in her apartment.She pushed the door open and beckoned on them to go in. "That's my son's room. You can use it for the night." I smiled gratefully at her, as Martinez led his injured boss towards the said room. I watched him get slowly lowered onto a bed that appeared

Emilia~ It's been over a week since all that happened that night. Marcelo was recovering quickly, and had gone back to his home in Sicily with Martinez. Chloe was still nowhere to be found, so I was stuck with Jennie, which wasn't really a bad thing. Sometimes I'd catch myself in a mental debate over who I was missing more, between Marcelo and Chloe. I still remember how I felt waking up one morning to Marcelo's bed being empty. He had left sometime in the middle of the night, and I knew he intentionally wanted to keep it away from me. The only thing he left behind was a stupid note, which I still haven't read. He had also left with Martinez, which indicated that they weren't coming back anytime soon. Knowing Marcelo, he was probably being eaten up by guilt again. He probably already decided within himself that walking away from my life would be the best way to ensure my safety. I felt a slight twinge of guilt, knowing I had insinuated that earlier. "Earth to Emilia?!" Je

Marcelo~I watched the interaction between my men and two members of some street gang, who somehow managed to look like college dropouts.They had obviously never done this business with us before, and I could tell just how scared they were to be in my presence. My reputation of being a ruthless son of a gun, hasn't been totally ruined afterall.They were certainly not minors, but they were youngsters. I wasn't much older than them, when I first killed someone. The thought made me smile, despite the fact that I found it rather disturbing.One of my men was going through the bundles of dollar bill they had handed us in a bag. From the look of things, they seem to be all clear.I turned to look at Martinez from where he was standing at the opposite side of the room. He understood immediately and went out to go get the goods they came for. The two young men visibly relaxed, once they saw me crack a smile."Gentlemen!" I beamed up at them, watching them exchanged a somewhat uncomfortable
Huling Na-update : 2025-01-13HER ONLY CRIME On the move
Marcelo~With my arms folded behind my back, I casually walked down the hallway, Martinez hot on my tails.I could sense how nervous he was, about the situation at hand, but I tried not to let that bother me. I already had a plan in motion, and I was pretty positive about it.My only worry now was how I could cut loose on my father and make him see just how dangerous I could be. Retaliation has never been a problem for me, but I had to be patient...at least, until she is safe and far away from all these.Despite the fact that I still had eyes on Emilia, a part of me couldn't help but worry. She hadn't reached out to me since I left that town, and I was starting to fear that she might not be in support of my offer. If that were really the case, keeping her safe would be a real hassle.I and Martinez got into the newly constructed elevator. It was supposed to lead to the underground floor, where the real dirty business would be going down. I figured I had to be more secretive with my op

Emilia~I landed at the airport with my few belongings and I had to say, I was rather shocked to see a number of Marcelo's men already waiting for me.Somehow, they managed to know my exact location in the whole airport, despite the fact that I never informed Marcelo of my journey back to Sicily."Welcome back, Miss!" One of the men said, directly walking up to me with an imposing stature that only men of the Black Dragon could possess. I was impressed, but they didn't have to know that. I was still mad at their boss."Your boss made me travel all the way here." I feigned complaint, as I accompanied him towards a convoy of luxury cars that were already laying in wait.Some of the men were already taking hold of my luggage, the rest were flanking and keeping a close eye on our surrounding. It attracted stares from a lot of people at the airport."...I don't appreciate it." I said in a sudden deadpan.The tall male beside me, seemed to feel instantly attacked by my antics. He avoided e

Emilia~I don't know if it was the strong urge to pee, or the sudden wave of nausea that made me jerk up from the bed with widened eyes.Surprisingly, Marcelo was still fast asleep beside me and his hand was now on my exposed thighs. He wasn't one to still be on bed by morning, and I wondered if he was really that tired.Very carefully, I moved his hands from my thighs, before rolling off the bed. For some reason, I decided it would be best not to wake him from his sleep.Immediately I stood up on my feet, I felt the entire room spin around me for a second. The urge for me to puke got stronger, and I was immediately charging towards the bathroom.I've heard about morning sickness during pregnancy, but nobody told me how much it actually sucks to experience it. Literally everything was giving off offensive odours, and I didn't know why.Once I was in the bathroom, I went right for the sink and began to empty the content of my stomach, which happened to be the spaghetti and meatballs I

HER ONLY CRIME Man and wife (The End)
[A/N: as you might already know, we're finally coming to the end of this book and this might as well be the very last chapter. I'm so excited to finally move on to my next project... lol 😊I want to say a very big thanks to you devoted readers that made writing a fun experience for me. I promise there's more better reads to come.]Emilia~"You still want to do this?" I whispered to Marcelo, as we linked our arms together in front of the makeshift aisle.A number of Marcelo's men, allies and well wishers were now gathered for our union as couples. I warmed my heart to see them all gathered in support of us.Marcelo looked me right in the eyes, before leaning forward to kiss me on the cheek. It gave me instant butterflies like it was the first time."Hell yeah!" He whispered into my ear, making me smile like some teenage girl with a highschool crush."You go girl!" I turned to see Jennie cheering me on from among the small crowd gathered. She had little Chloe in her arms and the latte
HER ONLY CRIME Gone
Emilia~"The Boss is in trouble." She told me."Little Chloe was never the actual target. Donatello has always wanted our boss by all means."I wondered how such an obvious fact could fly right over my head. I should have known that the whole time.Marcelo's father was a psychopath who is hellbent on ruining his son's life. He had been doing that since Marcelo was just a kid, wanting to turn his own son into a heartless monster.The reason he wanted to get rid of me so badly was because he always saw me as a threat to his plans. Donatello had always known that as long as I was in his son's life, he won't be able to have full control over the latter.After killing his mother right in front of him, he still had the guts to continue ruining his life. It was my responsibility to save Marcelo from him."Can't you go any faster?" I shouted at Andre, who was already driving as fast as the car could take us.Donatello had planted a bomb in the church that was supposed to serve as a venue for
HER ONLY CRIME Church
Emilia~I looked down at the trembling maid with a scowl. She had been serving in this mansion for years, which also made her one of the most trusted members of the staff. She misused that trust."Tell me one good reason why I shouldn't let them kill you." I spat, making her whimper in fear.For some reasons however, it felt like that fear wasn't just directed at me. She was afraid of someone way scarier, and I already had a good idea of who that was."Please, Miss...you have to believe me!" She pleaded with widened eyes, trying to grab me by the hem of my gown.I stepped away from her, keeping the unfriendly scowl on my face. She did try to kidnap my daughter, who was barely a month old. "I didn't want to do it!" She cried out."I didn't want to do it, he made me do it!""Donatello made me do it!" I wasn't surprised by her confession. It was something I and Marcelo had already known and anticipated for a while now. We knew Donatello would try to make such dirty move, and we were re
HER ONLY CRIME Right cards
Emilia~I beamed at my reflection in the mirror, feeling all kinds of warm emotions rush through me.The last time I was in a wedding gown, I wasn't smiling this big. I wasn't even wearing the gown because I wanted to.I thought about how much has changed since then, and it all happened when one particular, green-eyed, Mafia boss made his way into my life.I initially fought hard against the feelings I had for Marcelo, but time has made me to realize that falling for him wasn't even a bad thing. I was shamelessly in love with someone who is considered "dangerous", a notorious crime boss, who is now the father of my child, and my husband to be. A criminal he is, and being associated with him should also make me one. Crime has never really been a hobby for me, but this one was way too good of an offer for me to pass. Falling for Marcelo Del Ponte, was my first criminal act. It is my only crime, and one I'd love to commit all over again."Mrs. Emilia Del Ponte." Jennie whispered gleeful
HER ONLY CRIME Together
Emilia~Little Chloe was fast asleep now. She had spent most of the day being her usual loud self, and basically demanding attention from everyone in the mansion. Even the household staff would begin to run around, whenever she starts her usual tantrums. She sure has her father's fiery temper, and the thought of it made me smile.It's been over a month since her birth, and Marcelo hasn't been around as much as he used to be. Whenever he was around, he was usually either down in the basement or busy doing some mafia business with his men. He was gradually becoming too busy, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried.It felt like he was returning to his cold, distant self again, and I knew I had a responsibility to make sure it never happens. I took one last glance at my sleeping child, before turning around to leave her in the cradle. My hand found the light switch and I flipped it off.Stepping out of Chloe's room, I was a little surprised to see Marcelo standing on the balcony. H
HER ONLY CRIME Fists
Marcelo~"How dare you?!" I roared in fury, throwing a punch at the face of the man in front of me.He was already looking like a bloodied pulp, courtesy of me. Maybe he wasn't so easy to break like I initially thought."How dare you try to defend a monster like Donatello?" I yelled out in frustration, not understanding how my father is able to command such loyalty. This man was literally ready to die for him.A small, choked laughter escaped his lips, causing my frown to deepen and my fists to clench tighter.I was about to hit him again, when my arm was suddenly stopped by Andre. I turned around to hiss at the latter, but his hold on my arm didn't seem to budge. His grip was as sturdy as a vice, and he had a blank expression on his face. "You've been at it for hours, Boss!" He said, looking down at the man."At this rate, you'll just end up killing him."I suddenly snatched my arm away from his grip, gritting my teeth at him in rage."Then, so be it!" I growled."He deserves to die
HER ONLY CRIME All mine
Marcelo~"Where the fuck is Andre?" I hissed at the man in front of me, before brushing past him and storming forward.Normally I'd gladly handle business, but today was one of those days I'd rather not. It's barely been hours since my woman just gave birth to our little, baby girl and I wanted more than anything to be there with them. I already felt like I was missing out on something important."He's supposed to be here! He's supposed to be the one handling business!" I protested."I'm afraid it's not something even you would want us to handle without your involvement, Boss." His statement made me freeze in my track. Was it really that important? I slowly turned around to face him, and I could see the hint of urgency in his eyes. "What the hell is going on?" I asked, taking a few steps towards him."We found him, Boss" I frowned at the vague piece of information he gave me, looking at him for an explanation. Who was he talking about? My father?"We found Donatello." It felt as
HER ONLY CRIME Little Chloe
Emilia~"It's a girl!" I let out a sigh of relief at the sound of my crying newborn. My breathing was ragged and I could hardly keep my eyes opened. It was all worth it though.A small, weak smile made its way to my face as I saw our child being handed over to a wide eyed Marcelo. I didn't think I'd ever seen that particular expression on his face before. He was having his first taste of fatherhood, and I happily watched him relish the moment.It's barely been over an hour since our little girl arrived, and she was already so loud. Marcelo didn't seem to mind however, as he cradled her in his arms like some delicate, expensive work of art.His green eyes were reflecting so much love and warmth towards our little one, and that scene right there was a very perfect picture to me. It was one I've always wanted, even without me knowing; the man I love, carrying our first child in his arms. Right then and there, I had no doubt that he would do anything in his power to protect our baby gir
HER ONLY CRIME Stay, Marcelo!
Marcelo~Ever since I found out about Emilia's pregnancy, I've been preparing for this very moment. I made sure she got the required rest and nutrition, always being there to support her through the challenges of carrying a new life inside her.I made sure to book her appointments with the best health care specialists, even going as far as inviting them over to the mansion. As at now, I had a medical team on standby, since I knew she was almost due. This was her first attempt to birth a child and I would hate for her to encounter any unpleasant situation.Despite the fact that I had put in that much effort, I couldn't help the fear and nerve wracking feeling that coursed through me. I paced restlessly in the corridor, listening to all the noises coming from the delivery room. Of course I couldn't go in. I didn't know if I could handle seeing her in so much pain.Dammit! Why do I have to be such a fucking pussy, right at this moment? "She's a strong woman. She'll survive." Andre, my
