I wake up to the sound of something beeping, I wonder what it is. I had a lot to do today and why the hell is Ethan not here yet, he had a lot of explaining to do. I open my eyes to go about my duties and"Bloody hell"Catherine knows better than to leave the light in the room turned on, what in God's name is wrong with everyone. I shut my eyes for a while and open them again, slowly this time.I try to get out from the bed like I do every morning and I'm brought back by a sharp pain in my stomach, and that's when I remember everything, being ambushed by Ricci and his Soldiers and getting shot."Bloody Bastard" I hiss.I look around the room which looks like a hospital room, but isn't it's the Mafia's little clinic, with so many illegal activities we try to avoid hospitals a whole lot. Don't need anyone getting me irritated with questions.I move my hands blindly on the bedside shelf in search of my phone so I can call Ethan but the devil walks right in." See you're up, you gave us quite a scare man"." Thought I was going to have to go on a shooting spree, bloody Ricci Morenó ".He sits on the chair beside my bed, he looks tense and Ethan is hardly ever."What happened?""Ricci happened" I replied. "I was fucking ambushed".I tried to get up once again because it was getting really uncomfortable the way I was on the bed. Ordinarily I hated staying in bed so much. Trying to adjust caused a lot of pain but I had to move.I guess I must have winced because in the next moment Ethan was by my side trying to help adjust the pillows.No other man alive would dare to come this close, but with Ethan it's different, he's the only person who gets to see the soft version of me and that's because I consider him family." No need for that" I tell him" Yeah, right". Now it feels awkward for the both of us, Ethan scratches the back of his head and clears his throat. Mafia men and pride."Should I get Catherine over, you're probably hungry" Ethan said." How long have I been out for?" I asked."2 days and a few hours, Dr. Gary said you lost a lot of blood man and could have died if we hadn't found early enough " a pause and then "An alley of all places man, what's so special about her that you wait to find a place".Now I'm confused. "What do you mean, I went into the alley to hide, Ricci had his men everywhere ". I gave Ethan what everyone calls the death glare and it always lived up to its name but not with Ethan, the bloody idiot was grinning."Oh"..."I thought you got ambushed in the alley after you" he moves his head to the side." And who in God's name are we talking about here because….." and I remember, the girl I almost killed in the alley, the one I'd mistaken to be one of Ricci's men.Ethan must have noticed me pause "Oh now you remember "...."It's nothing like what you're thinking, met the girl in the alley"" A girl in the alley by 2 in the morning?". Same thought I had."Suspicious huh?" I ask"Very ""Call Catherine to get me a shirt" I say as I struggle to get up."You're not okay yet Cillian, you need to….."He doesn't finish the sentence because he knows how it sounded, even as my brother Ethan knows there are boundaries in the Mafia. Telling me what to do wasn't a good idea. I'm still the boss And he knows when to stop.As he goes to open the door I ask"Where's she?""Downstairs ".************************************************I open the door that lead to the room which the latina spy was kept wondering what I was going to find. It's always been against my code to hit women and I hope I don't go against it for this one. I hope she makes it really simple and easy.She's seated on a tiny bed on the floor with her arms wrapped around her body And a bruise on her forehead. She's scared or she isn't but she looks scared and that's good enough for now."Hey" I said lightly and she looks up. I see fear in her eyes. She's truly scared."What's your name?" I ask her."Azeliá""Listen up Azeliá, do not make this difficult". " Let's just make this quick and easy and nobody gets hurt". I made sure to stress on the word "nobody" so she gets the message clearly. She looks straight into my eyes and holds my gaze for a second or two and then looks away while nodding slowly.And for the first time in years in felt uneasy, maybe it's the effect of the pain killer Dr.Gary injected me with."Good".I snap my fingers at the one of the soldiers at the door and he brings in a chair a moment later. I feel weak but I'm not going to admit that to anyone not even Ethan."Start talking" I say while snapping my fingers in her face."About?""Ricci Morenó, your boss"" I don't know who that is"Fuck, I hated interrogating women, a man would have been a whole lot easier. Breaking his bones and pulling a finger or two would have got him talking or in the very least, Prepared. Bloody women."I'm a very busy man, time is something I do not have the luxury of, so I'm going to ask for the very last time""Start talking"." I know nothing"."It's quite chilly in London by this time of the year " I say as I stand to leave."Maybe staying in here for a day or two more would help refresh your memory"."See you soon" I say as I walk out and close the door with a bang.I'm quite disappointed, I thought she was going to make this easy and save me from the stress but she didn't. Whoever said women were the weaker vessels must have been drunk out of his mind.As I head to the kitchen I call up Ethan to ask about the consignment we had coming in from our partners in Italy. He picks on the first ring."How's everything over there?" I offer as a greeting." Boss, I think you need to see this"This must be bloody serious, Ethan never addresses me as Boss when it wasn't something really serious.Fuck, I wonder what the hell happened over there."I'd be there in 30"This better be worth it.Bab terkait
Heartfelt Obsession CHAPTER 4
CILLIANThe drive from Knightsbridge to the East End with a wound on the stomach was one hell of a task, I hope this better be worth it but then again I know Ethan wouldn't call me up if It wasn't something important.I had to rest for a minute in the car, but to any of the soldiers outside it probably looked like I was deep in thoughts. Showing any bit of pain or emotions made us weak and that's how it has been even before my existence.The soldiers passing by bow their heads in Greeting and I reply with a nod of my head, Ethan walks out of the warehouse and opens the car door for me to step out."This better be bloody serious, Ethan" I say through my teeth."It is, we found a mole" and then silence.I look in his direction, right into his eyes. He knows better than giving half information."It's Bernado". Bernardo is a little boy I saved a few years back while he was being beaten to half inch of his life for stealing. He's not quite little anymore and has been more than useful to the

AZELIÁDamn!I know, I know what you're thinking but I'm not stupid and no, I haven't lost my mind either. But damn seemed to be the only word that came to my mind at that Moment.Cillian. Damn Cillian.How someone so beautiful could be so cruel and evil was beyond reason."Who turned on the switch?" He barked, anger, so much anger evident on his face. He turned to look at the soldiers stationed at the door but they both looked down, from shame I presume."I did" I said, pointing a finger at myself after a while, scared someone else might get hurt for what I'd done."I told Miss Catherine to help with the lights, I was going to turn it off but then".. I lifted my tied hands, trying so much to justify the lights being on.He moved so fast I didn't notice him until he was right in front of me, holding onto my chin with so much pressure."You do nothing until you're asked to do so, you don't eat, move an inch from where you're sitted, you don't even fucking breathe if I don't permit it,

CillianThe memories I had with Bernando clouded my mind, I couldn't stop feeling bad for him, I looked at his bloody corpse on the cold white tile and felt pained that he had to die in my hands, but he caused his death, and his blood his on his hand, the mafia code can't be reverse because of one man, what would my men think of me if I let him live, what's the assurance he wouldn't come back to hunt me, blood ooze out his forehead, I hardened my emotions not to betray me, he needed money for Gwen surgery he should have told me about it, I would have let him have it in exchange for his hard work and loyalty, that I would do for my men, I watch his corpse laying helplessly on floor, Ethan ripped me with his eyes trying to read my emotions about Bernardo's death for he knows how dearly he was to me, I sat motionless on the wooden chair, my eyes tilt towards the Latina girl sitting on the tiny foam on the floor hugging her legs, looking on drench in Bernardo's blood. "Boss, what's next?
Heartfelt Obsession Chapter 7
Cillian "Open the gate" It was clear the men I saw guarding the gate had been changed, the previous men were done with their shift for the day, and my eyes settled on the one of my men dressed in a corporate black suit and shoes matching the colour of his outfit, he seems bold and too young, I slowly looked in from head to toes, he didn't move knowing I have my eyes on him"What's your name?" he slowly turned his head gazing body at him, perhaps realizing I was referring to him "Pablo, Boss" he yelled out like a solider he is "How old are you?" "Those my age have anything to do with my strength and power? He seems bold speaking back to me, I felt angry slapping him hard on his face, and he stood still like a log of wood, this aroused my anger, maybe I was looking for bait to let out my anger and frustration on, and he carelessly falls into my ditch, he went down on his knees, he felt afraid now seeing how dreadful I could be whenever I was pissed off, I'll deal with Ethan when I h

AzeliaThe confusion of being in the middle of two routes got me standing still, I didn't know which route to walk in, which seemed quiet, like the passway hadn't been used in a decade, looking at the ground with no footprint I more confused, surrounded by tall trees and foggy dark clouds it'll rain soon.Everywhere appeared to be a forgotten town with nothing breathing on it, but I didn't know how I got here either, I remember working in the bar with my male customers flirting with me even when I tried to ignore them, what the hell was I doing in such a place, I suddenly heard my name out of nowhere, trying to figure out where it was coming from, he walked toward me and seems to know who I was, dressed in a black suit, he hurriedly approaches me like he was my saviour"Azelia""Azelia""Azelia"Different voices called my name, and it echoed loud in my ears, I crouched down holding tightly to my ears"Azelia, this way or you'll get stuck for eternity, I believe you don't want that" I

AzeliaThe drop of dew felt cold in my closed eyes, and I suddenly felt cold, goosebumps gripped my arms, making me sneeze, trying to catch my breath almost immediately, my body seemed sticky and itchy, I quickly pulled off the blindfold in my eyes, searching through where I had lay, the sky blue medical gown was stained in the black sticky sand like clay, my heart beat fast in my chest making me raise on my feet, surrounded by wet flowers with thorn, and green leaves with mix grass on the ground, the early morning cold made me shiver, not knowing where I was.Footstep approached me with flashes of light in my direction, making me scared, my hands tremble and I felt lost confusion took the whole of me, being in a strange land with a diversity of tongues and tribes which could be mainly dominated by the British people, the property belongs to a native of the country or the government and I could be charged for invading of property and it could be difficult for me to get out of it"Who'

CillianHer teary eyes flashed back in my memories, she looked timid and seemed to have lost weight in a few days, I sat down on the black couch in my ward and thought about the decision I had made to let her go, Ethan barged in without caution and I could tell how furious he was, I held the shisha pipe in my right hands inhaling the strawberry flavour in the smoke, I didn't need to be told he had the mind to walked in on me like that"Do you need anything?"Ethan stood behind me, pacing on both sides of my ward and I could sense the frustration in his movement, but kept my cool because I'm a man with few words and he knows too much about it"Where's the girl?" He angrily asked me, I kept quiet and didn't want to get involved in his madness"With whom did you order her release? Ethan demanded to know " Should I seek your permission before I do whatever I want to do? "I asked him calmly, my stare would make him think I didn't value his opinion about how things are run in the mafia t

AzeliaCars drive in a row, waiting to be checked, Joseph focuses on attention on the police officers at the checkpoint, he brings out his cell phone, and sends a message, he doesn't seem bothered about it, he doesn't even know what I'm capable of doing in the outside world, he has no thought I might be a criminal in a run, I sat still praying in whatever God that could come to my aide, I could be jail because I have no legal document, just like I had said earlier on, I suddenly felt happy we weren't stopped like others, perhaps luck was on my side, I thought to myself, I gazed behind and the search continue. I sigh, taking in deep breathe Fifteen minutes later We arrived in the city, Joseph looked at me and I could see the questionable stare in his eyes but he said nothing to me"Where can I drop you?" he asked me"16th Avenue, it isn't far from here, do you know how to get there?" he looked at me, his face seemed blank with no emotions to show "I can use a Google map" "Alright

AzeliaJust like in the movie the lady in Red, I elegantly walked in through the hallway, I walked past another guest, dressed in my red velvet long ball gown, and handglove matching the colour of my gown, my heels sounded loudly in the hall, turning the crowd to my direction and I suddenly become a center of attention, my makeup looked bitchy, yes, I know that, the girl tonight just want to be someone different from me, seeing eyes glued to my body made me looked nervous, my eyes wandered, searching for nothing but I didn't want anyone to see my reaction, my legs felt heavy, finding it difficult to walk, but I steady my footstep, walking slowly like I don't care, but I do, I clench tightly to my purse, placing it under my arms, the laughter in the hall, made me feel unsettled, I didn't know if I was been mocked or complimented, perhaps no one cares about my presence, but they couldn't stop wondering who I was, it's my first time attending such an event.Tyler, a lady I met on one of

Azelia I gazed at Jane, I already knew she care less about how I felt about her questions, she's a saucy young woman, and I had gotten used to her personality, I tried to force a smile but I couldn't, I decided to fake a smile and she knew well when one fake a smile, I also don't care."Yes Ma" with a stuttering voice, slightly bending my knees and standing upright again "Go through the file, sort out the ones belonging to LJ boutique and pile the rest of it. Someone else would come pick it up on Monday morning, and we can't give any excuses. Do you understand what I mean to say?" "Ye... ah, yes Ma" I heard myself stuttering, with her elegant beauty, I couldn't tell why Jane had no man in her life, perhaps her saucy personality couldn't get her a man of her own"Azelia, do you hear me?" jerked me off my thoughts "What did I say?" "Yes, I have to sort the LJ file and arrange the others, someone else will come for it" repeated her statement "Sure, I'll be in the store, you can si

I'm to join other ladies in the fun, I wish I knew it was your party, I wouldn't have come anyways, place get this door open for me" she yelled out, I could hear the frustration in her voice but she tried to steady her voice, I don't think she's done crying.I slowly walked up to her, placing my hand on her shoulder, she stood still, raising her head to meet my eyes, I forced a smile at her, but she said nothing but stared at me, perhaps waiting to hear what I had to say, maybe she expected nothing from me now, I saw Gwen be a brave girl who can fight whatever life throw back at her"I'll fill up the vacuum to be your elder brother, so you won't miss his absence so much, I'll give you my cell phone number, but promise not to share it with anyone, not everyone has my number, and you'll be the next to have it because you're a special person, if you don't get to betray me, I'll get to give you and your mother the kind of life your late brother couldn't give to you" I calmly and softly sa

Cillian Time flew how she had been out of my sight for years, but that didn't stop me from watching over her from a distance away, staying hidden and getting away from trouble, Ethan had a questionable gaze in his eyes watching me smile with no one beside me, part of me wants to see her over and over again, Ethan cell phone rings, it jerked me off my thought, l shut my eyes and didn't bother to listen to his conversation with whoever had called me "Cillian, The automobile has arrived at the seaport but there's a problem" "Is it something you can't handle?" I slowly opened my eyes to see Ethan clenched tightly to the steering wheel "No, but the substance has been removed from where it was hidden and Mario De Valley, asked for his money or a refund, Information from a credible source" "Who?" "Pablo, saw his men taking the drugs from the bonnet and different places it was hidden last night after it was checked and confirmed the substance was there, Mario from Mexico wants the money

Azelia The driver sped off, I looked dumbfounded at my ruined white blouse, just as I had thought I was being looked at and pitied by a passerby, I quickly took out my cell phone from my bag in mind to call my colleague's work, wanting to let her tell the Laura I'll be late for work, he driver reserved the car, and parked in from of me "Hello" I heard Cindy's voice loudly on the other side of the cell phone, she had already picked up before I could hang up like she knew I'd call her "Hello, Azelia, are you there?" she seems concerned about my muted voice "You" "You, did you do this on purpose?" we said almost at once, he didn't look surprised to see me and I didn't care, after all these years, he stood in front of me as I owed him an unpaid debt "You ruined my blouse and you stood there saying nothing, is that how mannerless you are" My voice attracted onlookers, he stood placing his both hands on his black tuxedo, with his neatly black trimmed hair, carelessness arranged, b
