He called me 'Mate'! seventy -five
KIARA'S POVWe drove in total silence. I kept my steady gaze either on the road or in Dan's face. The courage to start a conversation was something I didn't have at the moment. I noticed that occasionally he stole a glance at me. I can definitely never tell a stranger about my past and then end up shedding tears that would make me look pathetic. Besides, I can't trust anyone now. I had to try very hard to trust myself, and presently, all the trust I could give has been exhausted. "I... hope I am not making it feel awkward?" By the way, my name is Daniel. You can say Dan for short: "His throaty, deep voice echoed, and that reminded me of Mateo." I looked up at him, realizing he wanted to break the awkward silence we had been through."Kiara," I replied bluntly, avoiding eye contact while he nodded."And your baby?" "She looks so innocent and beautiful," he said, turning his gaze at San, and at that instant, I drew him closer to myself and breathed in her scent, which was a mixture of

MATEO'S POVIt has been almost a year since I last saw Kiara. Everyday, I wake up with the hope of going back to her or even seeing her across the road. Even if I don't get to talk to her, I will be equally happy, and my mind will have been put at ease. Those past months felt like decades to me, and the worst of it is that I can't seem to be forgetting her very soon. I hate the feeling of not knowing where my Kiara has gone. Whether she was safe at all, whether she was dead or alive,I rarely let anyone know how Kiara's departure affected me. I still couldn't conclude that it was my fault, even when guilt was killing me from the inside. She made the right decision after all—who would like to be with a bad jerk like myself? It was almost impossible to see that. I thought maybe after her departure I would feel better, but time makes it worse. I miss her every damn day that I manage to wake up without seeing my lousy angel with me. On a normal day, she would wake me up from sleep with a

Kiara's povJust when I thought things couldn't get any worse, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to find a representative from brinn cucina, holding a large envelope. I was so anxious to know what what was inside the envelope. Daniel had called me earlier to tell me that he sent something over to me."Mrs. Kiara?" the woman asked, her voice kind and sympathetic. I which I could correct her and tell her that I am still a miss but unfortunately a single mother but I don't even have the liver to say that now. "Yes, that's me," I replied, my heart sinking. The woman handed me the big brown envelope and said, "This is for you. It's a gift from a generous donor who wants to help families like yours get back on their feet. Inside, you'll find the keys to a brand new apartment, fully furnished and ready for you to move in. It's a fresh start for you and your children."Tears welled up in my eyes as she opened the envelope and saw the keys to my new home. I couldn't believe her

Kiara's pov_I woke up early on the day of the model shoot, my nerves already jangling. I had been working on how to become a model for a few days now, because this was the biggest opportunity I had ever gotten. The problem was, I was poor. Really poor. I lived in a tiny, run-down apartment with thin walls and even thinner blankets. I didn't have much in the way of clothes, either. And it was this damn modelling that got me an advance residence to live comfortably and right now, I can even put my life to it to make sure it becomes a success. But I wasn't going to let that hold me back. I pulled out my best dress - a simple, black shift that I had picked up at a thrift store - and carefully laid it out on my bed. I didn't have any fancy lingerie or shapewear, so I made do with a plain white bra and panties. I grabbed a pair of tights and slipped them on, then added a pair of black heels that I had scrounged up from a yard sale.Next, I turned to my makeup. I didn't have a lot of fancy

MATEO'S POVI sat in my apartment, staring at the wall in front of me. It was just after midnight, and I had been given my next assignment. I was a Mafia killer, and my job was to take out anyone who posed a threat to the organization.I sighed and stood up, heading over to my closet. I pulled out my black suit and slipped it on, checking my reflection in the mirror. I looked like a shadow, all dressed in black. It was a fitting look for a killer.I walked over to my nightstand and picked up my gun, loading it with precision. I had been trained to use a variety of weapons, but this was my favorite. It was small and easy to conceal, but it packed a powerful punch.With my gun in hand, I left my apartment and headed towards the meeting place. It was a secluded alleyway on the outskirts of town, far from prying eyes. I knew that the other members of the Mafia would be waiting for me there.As I arrived at the alleyway, I saw that the others were already there. They were all dressed in bl

KIARA'S POV Months later...It felt as if I had been robbed of my breath as I saw the man I loved most being rushed to the hospital in a state that I could never imagine. My heart flipped, and then tears came. I gathered all of my strength as I ran down the stairs towards him. He should live! I wanted him so desperately to live, even though we are not together anymore.I knew he would be mad at me for running in my current state. heavily loaded with a five-month pregnancy. I held the stair rod and ran down, also being careful not to fall. "What happened to him?" Will he be okay? I asked, running after one of the nurses. She managed to spare a glance at me and then continued with his rush to the emergency room. I saw Caleb; he was walking up and down at a panicked pace. I wanted to ask him, but I was not sure if he would be able to listen to me. He had pleaded for me to get back with Mateo, claiming that his life and happiness depended on it, but I won't listen to that shit. He was

"Caleb?.. how the hell did you escape?" I asked. staring at the owner of the car."It doesn't matter." Someone called the policemen on purpose. It was to frame us all, or rather, get us all. "Who could that possibly be?" I asked. I was done panting and am now relaxed. This was obviously the first time I have had this kind of run in my life ever since I have lived. "And who owns this old excuse car?" I asked, and I was also curious to know how he got away and when he started to drive his own car. Fine he has a car of his own but this.... This is supposed to be a 1990 model. "Ehmm...robed it. I couldn't hesitate to take it away from the old man, not that I really wanted to hurt him. "What did you just do?" You actually took that from an old man when I have warned you nit to hurt any innocent person even if it's on my name. I wouldn't accept it. I couldn't contain my anger. Ever since Kiara's grandmother's death, I have added both old men and women to the list of people I can never ha

A YEAR LATER."Luna Kiara," I heard my name being called. It had to take me a while, as usual, to realize that I was the one being referred to. I stood up to answer my husband, Alpha Mateo."Where are the boys, my laun?" He asked with a very worried face. "Dan has gone to school, and Rhett is busy sleeping in the house." I explained.He nodded and went in to confirm that Rhett was still there. "I'd call Dan's teacher to make sure that he is in school." "You know children of these days," Mateo said with a faint smile."You should also worry about your people this way, my Alpha." Dan is okay, as is Rhett. "Grandma wants them," "Yes," Mateo nodded. It's funny how he believes that anytime his mother seeks out her grandchildren, they might not be entirely safe. Soon enough, Dan returned from school and met his father and me at the palace entrance. With my wide arms opened to hug him, he ran to wrap himself around his father. A sting of jealousy struck me. I raised him, but he seems to

MATEO'S POVI woke up to the sound of my alarm blaring, jolting me out of a deep sleep. I rubbed my eyes and looked at the clock, realizing I had overslept by 20 minutes. I jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom, quickly brushing my teeth and washing my face. I barely had time to splash some water on my face to wake myself up.I ran to my closet, grabbing the first outfit I saw and quickly getting dressed. I rushed to the kitchen to make a quick cup of coffee, but the coffee machine was on the fritz. Frustrated, I chugged a glass of water and grabbed a piece of toast on my way out the door. I slept well in my old house. Very fancy, but clearly I knew it was for me. I thought about what Jim's father said. If any of my men get to see me, I might have to spend the rest of my life in prison. I sprinted to my car, praying it would start on the first try. Luckily, it did, and I was on my way to work. It doesn't really work, but I guess that's what people call it. I have to get my vis

Mateo's povThe day of the hit had finally arrived. I was dressed in all black, my face concealed by a mask. I was ready to carry out my plan to take down Jim's father once and for all.I made my way to the building where he was holed up. My heart was so willing and confident. I was nervous, but I was also determined. I was a mafia man, and I wouldn't be defeated.I entered the building quietly, my footsteps muffled by the thick carpet. I was moving stealthily, like a predator hunting its prey. I was going to take him by surprise, and he wouldn't know what hit him.I crept down the hall, my hand on my weapon, ready to use it if I needed to. I was getting closer; I could feel it. I was almost there.And then I heard a noise. It was the sound of footsteps coming from around the corner. I froze.. Had I been discovered? Was my plan about to be foiled? Those asses, I hope they weren't shitheads. If not, I will strangle them myself. I took a deep breath and stepped around the corner, my pi

MATEO'S POV"I do not appreciate it when people eavesdrop on my conversation." Miss. I hope you are ready to face the consequences if you ever disclose anything you heard to anyone. " I warned a lady whom I noticed has been unconsciously spying on me.Her face flushed with fear as she looked at me like she would break down. Her pupils burst out in fear. She was so terrified."I ...d..idn't hear anything." She stuttered carelessly. Does she really think she could lie to me? Even a fool would know that she was listening.I looked closely to observe her face, but my eyes mistakenly caught her cleavage. Gross!. She wasn't even dressed. She was putting on a very short crop top that revealed her cleavages and a short skirt that shows her straight legs. "Get lost." I said anoyingly. She was ready to scamper for safety, but I stopped her. "I know your face; if you were a snitch, I'd find you and kill you," I warned with a mean face. She ran off as fast as she could. I am so annoyed that I co

Kiara's povI worried the entire time during the ride home. Daniel kept quiet. His gaze was all on the road and me. I desperately wanted to break that icy silence, but what the hell was I going to say? Huh?. The only sound that awakens me is the honking of the cars. "Thank you so much, Daniel," I finally said, looking at him but avoiding eye contact. "For what?" He asked, still focused on the road. He didn't even spare me a glance. "For ehm everything, thank you so much." I don't know what I would have done without your help. "I stuttered helplessly with my finger clenched rightly to my cloth and my other arm holding Dan so tightly."You're welcome," he replied with a wide smile, which faded almost immediately. "About earlier....""Oh, just forget about that already." "I mean, you are now relaxed," he interrupted. as if he read my thoughts and knew exactly what I wanted to say. "Are you in?" In anyway... Uhm mad at me? " I stuttered and immediately made up my mind not to ask any
