What is it going to take for a girl like me to truly be happy? I remember the saying, 'When life gave you lemons, make a really good lemonade...' Oh no...life handed me the lemons, and instead of making that lemonade, I got 2 overbearing cousins...Make that 3 overbearing cousins... and a mafia boss who finds me appealing enough to stalk me everywhere I go. My mother passed away, and I was left reeling in my emotions and grief, feeling lonely and confused about where I stand in a world so full of love and happiness. The first step to start my new job and ready to be back out in a life where I can be independent and provide for myself again, I do what most people grieving do. I get up and I survive with a smile on my face. The second step was fantasising about a decent coffee; my first stop was the café near my hotel. I was greeted by my cousin in the middle of said café and his boss, who so happens to be the Italian Mob boss...The one I called a moron. Biggest mistake going. An engagement party that turns my heart left on the sidewalk and a boss who doesn't see the pain of watching him kiss another woman. Leaving the party, I head home in hopes I never see him again...Until he was at my front door wanting me to go back to New York with him and work remotely from his place. It's a crazy idea, right? A crazy idea to even think I could pull off the life I always wanted and still be close to my only other family m
View MoreWarmth hits my body before my mind has a chance to catch up.Snapping my eyes open I'm greeted with a sleeping Isabella. Her drool sits on my chest but it doesn't irritate me the way it would if it was anyone else, it simply makes me smile.Shifting her onto her side, she doesn't even flinch or move a muscle apart from to bury herself further into the mattress.Grabbing my clothes from the floor I head to my room and take a quick shower before meeting Dante in the office at the far end of the manor to go over some security footage he pulled up."Morning bro. You're looking refreshed and too happy... I don't like it""Fuck off.""Did you not stay in your room last night?""No. I went and stayed with Isabella. Thinking I was just going to crawl into her bed and sleep, Imagine my surprise at 1 am when I walked into her bathroom and found her watching Netflix in the fucking bath""Anything good?""Fuck knows but it has something to do with doctors' and Nurses'"Porn?" he asks with a grin.
My body hurt from the moment I stepped foot into my room. I had the food Louisa made me and once she had cleared all my wounds and put some strips along my stitches, I sit on the bed and wonder what Lorenzo is up to.I checked my work email to find one from Dunken about how it was going but I couldn't bring myself to call this late at night to tell him what had happened but I also didn't want to just let the email go and not say anything so I typed out a simple email.My body hurt from the moment I stepped foot into my room.

Casually sitting and drinking the world's shittest coffee I feel Cody tense beside me before he throws himself out of his chair."The fuck?" I ask but then movement catches in the corner of my eye.Isabella."Fuck. Fuck no!" I shout as I run out of the cafe and to my woman who's just finished being sick and has fallen on her front."Isabella?" I shout, but she doesn't seem to hear me. All my men, apart from Cody, run inside and bring out a guy who looks to be 6 feet tall. He's not bigger than me, but he's still big.I take hold of Isabella and lift her body up only to find bruises and marks on her body making me see red."YOU!" Cody shouts and I lift my head to see who it is that he's looking at."Lorenzo...that's Dean. That's who ruined Isabella!""You know what to do," I say to my men who know what I'm talking about. Dean puts up a fight, claiming fuck knows what but I don't listen. When they bring a female out of the apartment complex I can only assume she was working with this bas
I didn't sleep much last night. I spent most of my time wide awake and planning all the things needed for the Smiths house and what colours they opted for.The colours are fine, I don't mind that part. It's when they change their mind at the very last second and you have to restart because when one colour goes, they all go.It's time for us to leave the house and now that my period is done with, I don't feel as emotional or even turned on as I did yesterday but hopefully, everything will be fine."You ready?" Cody asks as I bring my usual bag to my shoulders. It's the one I take with me that has a few clothes in and some shoes for work but other than that I just want to get there, get the job done tomorrow and come home Thursday."Yeah I'm ready" I say but I don't get very far until he takes my bag from me and walks off."I can carry that you know""Yeah. I know. But do I care? No. Take the muscle while you can" he smirks at me and if I didn't know any better, this woman he's talking
A shower sounds good right now.Christ, I think I've just embarrassed myself even more by what I've just done.His words echo in my head. "You like grinding your sweet pussy against me to get yourself off" and I have never felt myself fall apart like that before let alone want to do it again. Focusing on my shower, washing my hair and body, letting the water drip down my body I can't help the smile that sits on my face. Once I've finished and gotten changed into comfy clothes again I read through the notes that everyone goes through when we are together in a business meeting.Thankfully straight after my meeting with work, I have a virtual conference call with the Smiths and I'll be glad to get back into business with some form of sanity left.What's sanity? You have none after that mind-blowing-Yeah. I won't even dive into that topic right now.Grabbing the sandwich Louisa made for my lunch, I eat it up just as my laptop shows an incoming video call. I have 15 minutes to spare but
Pulling up to the house I make my way inside and straight to her room.It's been 8 days since I left but 9 days since I saw her and I can't wait a second longer.Knocking on her door I'm greeted with silence so I quietly push it open but when I walk in and no one is there I begin to worry.Stepping out of her room I find Marcus and Louisa talking in the kitchen."Where's Isabella?""I'm sorry Sir she never came in for breakfast. She and Evie went outside""Outside?"She doesn't even finish that sentence because Evie comes into the house. Alone."Morning," she says breathlessly."Where is she?" I ask harshly because I'm now not in the mood to be playing games."Well, you see-""Stop with the fucking games before they even start Evie! Where is she""At the dogs!" She blurts out.The dogs. Oh, Jesus Christ."Why the hell is she near 5 fucking dogs who would and will eat her alive! You know they don't listen to anyone's command but mine!" I shout because that's what they do. They guard an
A knock sounds at the door, and when I open it, one of his men is standing in front of it with a smile on his face."Miss Moreno. I have been told to take you shopping for whatever you want and to spend whatever you want. Or the boss will make an order online, and believe me, you'll look like you've just entered the 1980s," he says with a smile, and I can't help but laugh."Can we go target, please?""Of course. I'm told to take you wherever you want to go""Okay. Let me get myself ready and I will be down in 5. Thank you-""Giovanni""Thank you, Giovanni," I say as I begin to close the door.I have a few things I need to pick up, and that's leggings and underwear, but I also need to pick up some tops and products to help with the cramps that I've been getting.10 minutes later, I step into the foyer and I'm greeted with Giovanni on his phone."Are you sure you want to go to Target, Miss Moreno?""Please. Isabella will do fine and yes, please"We pile into the car and start heading to
One thing I'm thankful for is the fact that my mother and father raised their sons to be respectful given our life circumstances and choices.One thing we do not do is hurt innocent people—especially women and children. If a woman ever crosses us and we need to take action, then we get one of our trained women to deal with them, but never have I allowed a male in this place to lay a hand on a woman.I've watched my father and mother's love bloom. I've watched them argue and get nasty but they have never cheated and never raised a hand to one another. Granted, the reason my father wouldn't dare is because my mom is one scary motherfucker and if he ever thought about doing it or even cheating on her, she would make sure he never saw his d*ck again, let alone his hands.Having Isabella sitting on my lap, I feel better now she's here but I'll probably feel guilty that tomorrow morning I'll be heading to Italy to do some business with my father and our men but I'm also glad that her friend
Madness.After watching Lorenzo with his men from the moment we touched down once again in New York, I realised that he's mega-rich. Powerful, handsome, and rich.What would usually kill my bank balance for one flight? I have managed to do several in the same 4 months, and boy does it feel weird to be back here again.January is all about the snow and cold weather, and my coat barely warms me up at home, let alone out here. Walking through his mansion once again and looking at how bare it is without people mingling except the people who work or live here, I'm greeted by some woman who looks to be in her late 40's or maybe early 50's."Signor Moretti, Benvenuto, Benvenuto," she says, which I can't understand a single f*ck*ng word of, but there we go."Good evening, Louisa. This is Isabella and she will be staying with us for a while"The woman turns her attention back to me, and once everyone but Lorenzo has disappeared to their rooms, she finally gives me a sad look."You hungry, dear
