Thank you for reading.
Carlos. This is not my brother. Rico is fucked up, but one thing he will never do is cheat on Mia. He loves that girl with his life and hurting her is the last thing on his list. Especially with that loose woman.Something is wrong somewhere.I hate to see her hurting like this. It's not good with her condition and that's why we have been trying so hard to make sure she's at least comfortable. Mia is a strong girl, but right now Rico is the only thing she needs. Kay was once pregnant and I know it's not a walk-in-the-park kind of thing. That's why I'm going to find him. Whatever happened to him, he should know that he has a responsibility waiting for him at home. "Take me to him," I tell Fabio who only nods. Thank God he found his location. Mia's men are more relaible."I'm coming too, boss" Ed and Marcello come forward I nod. Rico's friends join us and more men from Mia's side. I don't know what we are walking into, so, the more we are, the better. "Be careful babe, don't come wi
Mia. The door to our room opens and Kay walks in with my phone in her hands. I don't even remember where I left it.“Carl wants to talk to you” My gaze lingers on her trembling fingers and instantly, I understand something is wrong. I quickly sit up and when I take the phone from her hands, she dashes out of the room closing the door behind her. This can't be good. Did they find him? Is he okay? I wouldn't want him harmed even if he messed up. I would rather know he is alive and happy somewhere and not dead. “Carl “ I whisper, feeling dread from the look on his face, “Is everything okay?” my lips tremble as fear engulfs every part of me. Carl silently shakes his head and mutters a 'sorry'. Before I can ask what is going on, the phone is handed over to someone else and my heart stops at the sight of him. The man staring at me is not my Rico. His arms and chest are covered in cringy spirals of ink. He has a cigar between his lips and the way he is looking at me, is completely forei
Rico. She looks scared. Her chest is heavily rising and falling and fear is written all over her face. My head is blank and it's frustrating. The only thing I remember is from three months ago, waking up in a hospital bed with bandages tied all over my head. When I opened my eyes, Bella was there alone. She was crying and claimed she was my girlfriend and that we lived together. I didn't believe her. I had no memory or anywhere to go, so I followed her and acted dumb. I have tried everything to recall anything but it's like I'm living in a dark suffocating hole. I hate it. I realized the bitch I lived with was after something. Especially when she kept initiating intimacy with me. My gut told me something was wrong, and I proved it when I found out she used to give me pills that erased my memories.The injections they gave me in terms of treatment were of the same intent.I eavesdropped multiple times when she used to talk to this boss, the person she was working for.I wanted to
RICO. After talking to my mother for a while, I join my brother in the living room. "How does it feel like to be back home?" Carl smirks and I know he must be mocking me for how I behaved yesterday. "Don't start Carl" I sigh holding my head in my palms. "Your girl is here. Pretty how she changed your fucked up mind with just a glance, huh?" he smirks and I follow his gaze, and damn! I did have a good eye. I should have made her my wife already. Being my girlfriend is not safe enough. "Where is she going?" I mumble, trailing my eyes at her official outfit. A mid-thigh white shorts, a white folded button-up shirt that exposes her baby bump, and a long white suit jacket on top. She has white 6-inch sandal heels with a single silver anklet on her left leg. Her long silver hair is tied in a clean ponytail exposing multiple diamond lace earrings. My eyes follow her long milky clean legs and I swallow dryly. Is she really mine? Now this is what we call beauty. Not the ugly bitch that ha
Rico. "I will have one of those" I join Carl on the balcony and point at the cigar in his hand. "You are not supposed to be smoking, brother, and neither do I"" I feel like crap" I sigh, stressfully running my fingers through my hair. "Mia? " he quirks his brow in question and I nod. "She's hurting. I don't know how to make her feel better." I mutter, feeling sad for her. I shouldn't have let her go to work in that state."Yeah, it will take her time. Especially with her condition.""How was it before? I mean us" I reach for the cigar again, but the idiot pushes my hand away. "I'm not letting you smoke, Rico. You never did, and it will be hard to stop if you start now" Why can't I smoke when he is doing just that?I sigh, slumping on the seat beside him. It's not important anyway. "She was your world, Rico, and so you were. When you left, it broke her. The family was here but she could always look at her phone every second just in case you called or stay at the window all the ti
Rico "You are right, He is my man" A bullet goes off in the air, and that brings our attention back to the present. " Enough of chit-chat. See, I have been living in hell for the three months you kept him away from me." Mia mumbles with her gun still pointed at the groaning Bella. The right leg has a fresh bullet hole in the knee. " Dante here" She points at one of the unfamiliar guys she came with. "Promised me he would personally deliver you to me. Thank you, Dante" She smirks at Dante guy and I furrow my brows. They look familiar but who are they? "Let me go. Rico, you have to stop them" Bella wails but it falls on dead ears. I have always wanted to get rid of her. "This one is for looking at him" Mia shoots the other knee and wordlessly motions to the table next to me. One of the guys approaches and picks a dagger and pliers and turns away after silently nodding at me. "You will tell me where to find Maxim and after that, I will slowly kill you. How about that?" Mia gently sm
Rico. I can't stop thinking about what that woman said. Is it true I had an affair with my brother's wife? I don't know what to think. The screams from down the hall make an uncomfortable feeling form in my stomach. Carl and his wife are fighting. Mia hasn't approached me yet, and I have no idea what I will tell her. My gut tells me the woman was lying. If I had a woman like Mia with me, what would possibly make me look at anyone else? The girl is everything and more, and how she just handled business downstairs makes her more beautiful. I will never want to lose a girl like that for something that does not belong to me. I felt nothing when I saw my brother's wife. It can't be true." Hey," I quickly turn around to the sound of her soft voice. She is now changed from the work clothes, and only has a white shirt that I'm assuming is mine from how huge it is on her smaller body. Her eyes are clear, they hold no accusation nor sadness as I expected. "Hi, how was your day?" I ask m
Rico. I wake up early dawn, only to find her missing beside me. She slept a while ago. I quickly get up and pull up some clothes before checking the bathroom. I don't think with the security around here, someone will infiltrate our room and kidnap her. No one is awake yet, so I search the corridors and around the house. When I step into the kitchen, the sight I meet renders me speechless. The girl is sitting beside the fridge with an ice cream plate in her hands. To make it worse, she is fast asleep and her neck is bent in an uncomfortable position. Isn't that stuff cold and the tiled floor too? "Oh! you found her" A voice says behind me and I turn to see one of the guys from yesterday. He is familiar but I can't recall who he is. I furrow my brow deep in thought only to trigger a headache. Blinking severally, I turn to the sleeping girl and gently pick her up. Fuck, she weighs nothing. "Does she do this every day?" I ask the guy and he nods following me to the dining room. "Y
