HIS: The Mafia King's Property 23: Unexpected
Elara's POV “Your phone.” Marco tossed it to me like it were an object, and walked to the private study erected at the extreme. Still in the madness of the scary incident at the party, he returned to work. Kaid on the other hand was yet to return, the same as Lorenzo. “Can I still visit?” His muscles tensed and he looked straight ahead. I could feel his cold gaze as though his eyes were at the back of his head. Not pushing my luck, I picked up the phone before it would be taken back from rage. Collpsing in bed, I dialed Evelyn’s and Alice’s numbers. A few times, it got sent to voice-mail, other times, they didn't respond. Oh, god.I pressed my eyes shut. The fear of losing them weighed strong, causing me to blonk back tears. It just had to be the scary image of that skull served as my dinner. My stomach churned and Bile welled up in my throat. Even if they were okay, I would still hurt. Perhaps they despise me for breachijg communication, or think I abandoned them. It would h

Elara's POV My life was like a thin thread, and with one silly mistake, it may snap. Staring at Marco's dark gaze that narrowed in on our prolonged handshake, I knew I was in a mess, and Matthew was done. Whatever he tried to slip in my hand had to be for just my eyes. Not having the brain cells to think it through, I had to make a smart move. My hand curled as I pulled away, holding around the object. It was his card. More reason for Matthew to run off once the door swings open. “Vee.” I called at my three-year-old, who innocently munched on her cookies, getting a bit of distraction as her small figure blocked my hand. “Can I stay a bit longer?” She winced and groaned, crumbs of cookies messed up the place. “I'm afraid darling, we have to go.” I carried her and skillfully slipped the card into the pocket of her bag pack. Heaving a soft sigh of relief, I carried her in my arms and rose to take my leave. “I'll miss you, Evie.” I pecked her cheeks and she reciprocated. Her clut

Marco's POV “The judgment day is before us, and we must take the law into our hands.” Cent, the Capos of one of the states, barked, eyes dark with hatred and pain. He was Benedict's closest friend amongst the others, so his anger was justified, especially after the sad demise of George and his best friend's absence from the meeting. Groaning and seeking solid support for his claim, he kept on lamenting, looking from the faces of the capos of all seven states represented. We were in the private chambers where our meetings were normally thrashed. They sat in the rows of armchairs lined around a table while mine was on the podium. Lorenzo was sitting beside me, with Kaid and his second on command standing beside us. He had no expression, all he did was listen to Cent yap. “The Bratva are taking us for a fool…”“Enough.” I cut him off, irritated. “It's a game of bloodshed and bliss.” I rubbed the tips of my fingers together. “No one dares blur out the consequences of their stupidity

Elara's POV What the hell?!!!Like a robot, I dove to shield Marco's eyes, with a mix of emotions pulsing through me; anger, bitterness, pain… but not sympathy. Sofia could go to hell and burn for all I care. I'd be the last person to bottle her ash, and if I ever did, I'd take it to a haunted house just so her soul would never find rest. “Leave!” All of me vibrated as I dished out a command directed to Marco. He shouldn't be here… he shouldn't be looking at his abominable sight. When he didn't make any move, I spun to face him. Seeing he wasn't admiring her made my heart settle for a minute. At the sight of Sofia's nudity, he cussed and immediately looked away, still trapped in the same spot. I looked from him to Sofia, who did almost nothing to clean up her mess. All smart and sneaky, she trembled, slipping her hands off her breasts a few times, as if she was traumatized. She winced, pulling unwanted attention towards her manipulation. “Freaking get out!” “Let her get clothe

Elara's POVSofia isn't blood?!!! She isn't a Conti?!!!I didn't know how to digest the news. The look on Lady Lucia's face said it all. She wasn't joking. Not like I expected her to cook up anything just to make me feel good. First, she wasn't entirely a fan of me, so this wouldn't make any sense if she tried to dish her to please me. Also, she was Lady Lucia in flesh and blood; anything that she utters is a pure fact that was already refined thoroughly. “Yes,” she nodded, as if claring my doubts. “Promise.”I gulped dryly, weighing the heavy words. A promise was an oath, and to a dark family like hers, it was like an initiation. “I… I promise not to leak a word.” My throat was suddenly dried, needing anything to distract myself. For all it's worth, the Contis are not psychopaths or pollutants. If they weren't related, then she had every right to make love to him… The mere thought of it made my stomach churn. I hated it, hated that Sofia could get whatever she wanted… him. But

Marco's POV ‘Black Friday… Goodbye George.’My alarm clock woke me up when I had barely slept for two hours. I covered my face in my hands and rubbed my sleep-deprived eyes. I was slowly turning into ash. Without turning over to see the reminder that would wake me up so early, I slammed it shut. Of course, I knew what it was, knew who the exact day and time belonged to, knew who I was finally accepting their departure…George. My muscles tensed, and my heart ripped into shreds. It hurt, hurt terribly, and this couldn't be healed. The most hurt are from those without injuries, and sadly, I had a bucket full of them. He was gone and there was nothing I could do. ‘Dear George…’I stopped, pained. Would he even forgive me for bringing him bad luck? Was it even my fault? Regardless, they were under me, and I should protect every one of my subjects. My phone vibrated on the steady. Finally turning to the side, I read off the screen; Lorenzo. We planned on overseeing George's funeral.

Elara's POV “No!” Sofia's screech ripped through the silence. She looked flustered, angry, untamed. “She is nothing but a slut!” She growled. “A bitch with a fatherless child!”Oh, Sophia… My lips pressed shut. For Lady Lucia, I'd sheath my sword. “Enough, Sofia.” Marco didn't have to yell. The venom laced in his voice could be felt without being stung. “Nothing justifies bad behavior, nothing.” “But…”His hand shot upward, and she remained mute. It dropped, picking up the cutlery like nothing just happened. “Let us try to make peace with my decision.” “You know that's never going to…”Slam! The table vibrated beneath Marco's huge palm as he slammed it hard on the surface e, causing glassware to fly down, clattering as it broke. “Sofia,” he stopped to catch himself from snapping too hard. “Come on, it's …”“Stay away from me!” Dramatic, she pushed the chair backward and ran out of the dining, creating a small scene. Francesca and the other staff acted like they were both dea

Elara's POV“Don't jinx this moment… just be happy.” Scared to my bones, I pressed my eyes shut, refusing to look at the finished work of art after Francesca had dressed me up. Today was my engagement… yeah, right. I was going to be publicly announced as Don Marco's half. The thumping of my heart increased as if I had run a thousand miles. I was scared, quite excited, but scared regardless. Today, if I take this route with him, I may never be able to undo it. Do I have a choice? “Matthew is a great guy…” Evelyn stopped when I shook my head profusely, hating that she brought that topic up. Marco sent his soldiers to bring her to the hotel we had booked for the event. It was one of his hotels in the city, so he easily shut it down for the days we'd be here. “So, how do you think of coping with this life?” She leaned in to whisper, not siding me for a minute. I gulped dryly, literally fidgeting. “Just maybe I'd take one day at a time.” A short pause followed. Violet’s playful vo

HIS: The Mafia King's Property 90: Not Her, Take Me!
Elara’s POV The long trip and stress evaporated in Marco’s arms. Right here, just where I belonged, we rode in a smooth rhythm, our bodies grazing, drowning us in our warmth.Our sweat mixed just as our moans blended in a gentle symphony. He shot in harder, trapping my breath at the back of my throat. We hit climax, panting like teenagers and moaning helplessly.“Whoa,” he collapsed on top of me and buried his face in the hollow of my neck. I lazily rubbed ruffled his hair and pulled him closer to my bare body. “Thanks for coming, Tesoro.” He lazily rolled into his back. We remained silent for a moment, trying to catch our breaths. Sheets clutched across our chests, we stared at the ceiling. “Anything for you, Marco.” I turned to face him, hand tucked under my head. “So, is there something else you want to try out?”His brows furrowed. “Actually, I think I have just one tiny thing…” he reached to grab me and I pushed to the edge of the bed.“Marco!” I giggled. “Stop… please.” I s

Elara’s POV “Hey,” Marco’s steel voice stopped me from leaving immediately. He was standing on the terrace, back pressed to the railing as he smoked and sipped from his glass of whiskey.“Take my card, get whatever you want.” He pulled out his black platinum card and stretched it over to me.Quite confused, I tilted my head to the side to get a better view of him. My eyes rolled, demanding he explain further. I was already dressed and ready to meet Evelyn. “I’m not going shopping,” I mumble on my spot. “I just need to speak with her.”“Without appeasing her? That’s lame.” He shrugged. “I know girl’s meetings are sometimes lavish.” He still kept the card in between us. “Do something for fun.” I chuckled and watched him drag on his cigar, then puffed. The heels of my boots clicked as I approached him. “I’ve got my own money, Mr. Marco Conti.” “Well, I want you to spend my money, Miss Elara Saint Clair.”I pushed my bag to the back and wrapped my arms around him. He dropped the gla

Elara’s POV Evelyn texted back!I stared at the phone long enough that the screen would split from any slight pressure. Considering the way we ended and how long it took her to respond, I guessed she must have either blocked me or changed her line. Oh, my god. My emotions were all over the place. I clutched hard on my phone and started texting back. Marco noticed the sudden change in my attitude. All of my attention was diverted to my phone and he hated to share his moment, but right now, I care less about his fits. ‘That’s a mean thing to say, Evie!’ I pouted as if she could see me, then resumed typing. ‘Heavens! I’ve missed you so much!’“Tesoro, is something up?”I ignored him and clicked the send button, then palmed the phone to my chest and waited for her response. Hopefully, she would be quick.“Elara?” His tone deepened. Now, he was solely focused on me.I expelled air and grinned. “It’s Evelyn, she finally texted back.”He hummed, uninterested as I expected of him. “Took

Elara’s POV ‘I almost died, Evie… Can you not be so blinded with rage?’My fingers danced around my keyboard as I contemplated wiping the text and letting things be. A part of me wouldn’t allow it, especially since I wronged her so badly. First, I owed her an explanation, and second, I needed to be close enough to know how far Matthew’s investigation was coming up. I mean, I hated that Marco was a lover of blood, but Matthew wasn’t a saint either, and I would hate to see Marco go to jail for doing the world a favor.“Is there a problem?” Marco’s voice was soft in my ears. I spent my day trying to please him, cooking and sizzling myself as an extra dish. Now, we were cuddled in bed. His arm was over my shoulder as he pulled me to himself and kissed my head.“Nothing much.” I tapped send and locked my phone. The thoughts of Evelyn flew out the window and got blown away with the night’s air when I stared into his cool eyes. There was love and comfort, and something I couldn’t really

Marco’s POV “Francesca, sit.”My command was stern, just as my tone was cold and gripping. She looked scared to her bones. Her eyes widened, body went still for a brief moment. Her eyes darted from me to the creamy brown mess on the floor. Without further hesitation, she sat on the edge of the bed, summoning as much composure as she could. “The coffee,” I looked at the broken chunks of the thick mug. “Who was it for?”“Ma'am Elara.” She said with a gentle bow. “She demanded I make her something soothing, but I don't know why.”“Hmm,” I scoffed. “Who handled the drugs from the doctor?” “Me, Don.” She taps her bosom. “He gave me the prescription as she should…”“Hey,” I snapped her out of her wildness. “You only speak when spoken to and only reply to what is asked.”She nodded. Her face looked terrified, it wasn't odd, considering that this side of me was new to her.“Since when do you have an Espresso in your room?” My feral gaze rested on her, monitoring her like a beast. “And wh

Marco’s POV As cozy as a family, we lounged in the garden. Elara was beside me on the fancy bench lined by lilies and blooming flowers. Her head lay on my shoulder and her arms curled around my waist. I hugged her arm and pulled her in, my chin rested on her hair. I watched the little girl play freely in the garden. She chased Birdie and collapsed when Birdie was about to win. When the poor cat came to her rescue, she would hold the cat down, and run off. Elara's blood.Would our kids be this loveable and bubbly? I was a cold fucker. It would be awful if I had one resemble me, except the kid takes on Madre's genes. She was way too loveable. Violet ran in my direction and suddenly crouched on her knees. She giggled and crawled after the cat.“Baby,” Elara groaned. “You're gonna get yourself dirty.” Her motherly instinct swiftly kicked in. “Mama is tired, you'll have to wash them.”She reached for the little girl and I held her back. “Let her.” My eyes remained on the sweet sou
HIS: The Mafia King's Property 84: Love Birds
Elara's POV “I love you, Elara.”My heartbeat raced hard against my chest. For ages, I've waited till this day. I had planned my exact reply and how I would react, but now… I was dumbstruck.“So badly that I'd give up my life for you.” Marco continued his overdue confession, his tone was deeply laced with sincere emotions, anyone could feel it. “Elara, If you ever desire, I would give up my empire, and build a cozy family with you in the countryside.” His voice trailed off. He slightly ducked his head, but not without me seeing the glimpse of teardrop. My Marco Conti… The only man who made being a slave a luxury. “But if also wish to leave…”I didn't wait for him to finish, didn't let him try to push me away any further… and certainly didn't let my rational thoughts ruin this moment. Like a bee to hive, I latched onto him, melting into his arms like Gelato. Our worlds merged into one, with his taking a good dose of my sanity. My hands palmed his hard face and I kissed him. Hard
HIS: The Mafia King's Property 83: Unforgivable Sin
Elara's POV ‘Marco is a fucking bastard! A freaking piece of shit who will never deserve me!...Nor his child!’My heart was ripped into tiny shreds when I woke up to emptiness. The sedation had worn off, leaving me with subtle traces of pain from the odd burning sensation of the poison. At first, I was okay with the absence… a matter of fact, I didn't want him to know… I wanted to recover and go home. Then, Dr. Schwartz came in and informed me of my dead baby and Marco's departure. I wasn't sure how to feel… I wasn't sure if to explode…I still am not. It was how easily he chose his selfish desires over my well-being. And now, I would never live with an iota of regret for keeping his child away from him. “You're now free to go, Miss Elara.” Dr. Schwartz’s croaked voice blared. I looked down at my phone, and Marco still wasn't responding. I've been on it since last night. How cruel could the sweetest man get?Tears rolled down my cheeks and I turned away to wipe them, hiding m
HIS: The Mafia King's Property 82: Silly Truth
Marco’s POV‘Food poisoning?!’This was the first… and she wasn't close to Evelyn for me to recklessly throw the blame. Elara wasn't psychopathic either to try to poison herself…Oh, no!My heart was racing hard against my chest. I shut my eyes and tried to even my breath, just so the nasty thought would go away. I was losing my damn mind.Like a cripple, I bent and reached for the couch at the other end, then slumped in it. Slowly, I tried to take control of my emotions. Schwartz saw it. He knew it was his cue to leave.“I’m a call away.” He set the test result on the bedside table and hurried out.I stretched my long legs and my jaws clenched. My dark eyes pinned on Elara’s weak frame.‘Did she try to abort my baby?’I couldn't help but nurse the crazy thought. ‘Marco. FERMATI! STOP!’My mind screamed at me. But I couldn't push the thoughts away. ‘The baby was three weeks old, she might have gotten a clue, right?’‘Else, why did she choose for the time I was away to get terrib
