~VITTORIA~I turned to look at him, narrowing my eyes at him. Of everything and everywhere I'd thought about, this wasn't even on the list of thoughts.And had he not just spoken about how depressing his day was, like I mean, I was still stuck on his mother's topic and all of a sudden, I was here."My friend just opened here up a few days back. Today is the first show here." He informed me as he put an arm around my waist."The first show?" I asked.He nodded, "Yeah, you're going to love it. C'mon."We handed over our keys and walked inside the building. There weren't as many people outside or going inside. And for people who went inside, I could immediately tell that they were of the same social bracket as us.Getting into the entrance, we were met with a large bar. Everywhere was painted red and black which sort of gave it this sexy, mysterious, and classy chill vibe. I could see not up to five people sitting around there and some were alone while the remaining were paired. Roman l
~VITTORIA~"Vittoria!" Yara called out once more, and a suspicious smile appeared on her lips. "What are you doing here huh?" she asked as she stood in front of me and smiled wider. Roman shook hands with Zaed and exchanged pleasantries. "I don't know, heard grocery prices here are pretty much decent," I replied in a sarcastic tone rolling my eyes at her.She gave me a pitiful look and then focused her gaze on Roman, "How do you cope with your Lilith babydoll, she tries too hard."I heard Roman chuckle and draw me closer to himself, something he's been doing practically all night. "She's cute though so it kind of cancels every other thing. Plus that was actually kind of funny."I smirked and folded my arms then stuck out my tongue at her."You're so lucky he's so much in love," Yara said to me, tucking strands of hair behind her ear."Didn't know you knew Will," Roman said to Zaed which made him shrug. "Eh... Hasn't been long since we got acquainted. But here's fire to be honest."
~ROMAN~I was kissing her, even I couldn't believe it. After this long while which felt like a century. I was kissing her again. It was intimate, desperate, passionate, made me feel like I was losing my mind, and made me to realize how much I missed her all over again.She had her hands on my body for the first time willingly and I loved how her slender body rubbed against mine as she did it. It seemed like she had wanted this just as much as she had said and it felt like she had been holding back all these while just cause of her sister.I took her gently to beside the wall and before her back could even press the wall, I was back to kissing her. I slid my hand cupping one of her large breasts just like I had always wanted to and squeezed it gently through her cloth fabric. I kissed her neck, cheek, ear, anywhere I could, how many times I could before going back to her mouth. I just couldn't get enough of her."Baby doll, you have no idea how much I'd wanted to do this," I told her a
~VITTORIA~I woke up the next morning and reached for my nightstand to check the time with my eyes still closed. I couldn't find it neither could I find my phone and it was only then that I felt someone holding me closely and warm breaths fanning my neck. And it was Roman. The whole previous night flooded my memory and I remained indifferent, trying to make the decision of how I was going to get away quietly without waking him up. The last night was incredible, I admitted and it was something I hadn't seen coming either. I enjoyed it as well but the lingering feeling of guilt I had in me wouldn't fade away for some reason. It was like I was reliving the past all over again, only that Isabelle's death had already kind of happened. I looked over slowly at him and he had his eyes still closed. I took a huge breath before gently taking his hand up and away from me. I had not even started getting up before his hand wrapped around my body and drew me closer to himself again. To my shock
~VITTORIA~The sun rays from the window which crept into the kitchen every morning were starting to make me look forward to drinking coffee on the kitchen counter every morning. And I couldn't lie, I loved it every single time. I had even bought two plants a week earlier and positioned them next to the window and so far, they had been doing quite well for themselves. In addition to Roman always remembering to water them each time. Something I always seemed to forget."You know, you really don't have to come with me to Ontario just for that," I told Roman the next morning as he dropped a coffee mug in front of me after taking a quick sip from it. "I'd just go and be back in a quick while.""Thank you," I added.He dropped a plate of waffles which he had just finished making in front of me too, dropped with his coffee as well before taking a seat in front of me. "I wouldn't want you to miss my presence so much, baby doll." He responded in a casual tone, winking at me.I rolled my eyes a
~VITTORIA~I walked into the sitting room and scoffed, making them notice my presence. Sore enough they weren't happy to see me. Simone was sitting there together with three other men who were from other mafia families of lower rank. They had also been present at the meeting when Bianchi was killed by Roman."Y'all seem to be having a fun conversation," I told them looking from one person to another. And making sure I said it in the rudest tone I could use. "I mean since Tiziano's name was mentioned, it sparked my interest a little bit too much.""Always that damn mouth of hers," One of them spat out giving me a dirty look from head to toe."I told you." Another chipped in, in a low tone."You fuckin-""Vittoria," Roman called out softly, cutting me off and grabbing my hand. I had forgotten he was even there with me."I'll take care of it from here." He assured."Yeah, you better. I wouldn't want to deal with a woman's whining today." The first man commented once more."Say a sentence
~ROMAN~"I can say I'm sorry I brought up mum," North said and it was taking every amount of self-control in me to stop me from hitting him."You love being his little pet, don't you?" I asked him and I saw him roll his eyes. I hated it when he was like this. And by this, I meant thoughtless and fucking annoying. "I'm just obeying him. I'm seeing reasons with him." North replied with a little shrug. As if that was the most sane thing to do with father.Cleto and Diego were stood in a corner listening and trying their hardest not to interfere, as they knew best. The opened bottles of alcohol and wine were left untouched on the meeting table because as soon as we had tried to drink together, this fool had decided it was the best time to piss me off. "It's something simple. If we take over the Bellucci territory and vote them out of their power rank with the support of the other families, their routes, casinos, clubs... casinos lost especially are going to be ours and-"Before he could
~VITTORIA ~ I woke up in Roman's bed, again. This was something I was not going to get used to anytime soon. We had not addressed what had happened at Simone's house a few days ago and he didn't look like he was going to talk about it so I just kind of let it be. The day after that, he had come back acting like his usual self, flirty and annoying. He had even gotten me a couple of gifts while coming back home and I thought that was sweet of him. Yesterday evening, he had met me in the kitchen, making coffee which I had planned to use to keep me awake while I worked. And somehow we had started flirting and the flirting had turned into kissing him and now I was awake the next day in his bed. How I had just given in to him made me realize how much I had missed him from the last intimate night we shared and I found myself this morning wanting more of him even. He was snoring softly behind me as he moved a little, I turned around gently to face him. He had his arm on me and in his slee
VITTORIAA wave of emotion washed over me, and I stared at him, the intense moment we had just shared still lingering between us. He had told me this before, and here he was, uttering the same words again. I didn’t think I had openly ever admitted it to myself or to him either but I actually didn’t despise him any longer. If anything, I had been sharing passionate moments with him more, allowing him to be clingy around me and more, the guilt I felt towards Isabelle had almost disappeared. I was still there because I still had to find who had caused her to leave this world, but I was almost invisible in Roman’s presence because I was slowly learning not to channel my anger toward him. It was like I was finally putting myself first over everything, over the whole guilt and over being angry and resenting him just because of his last name.His eyes watched me passionately and softly as he held me close, making my heart ache with tenderness which I didn’t know I had for him this much. It w
~VITTORIA~"Tiziano is awake?" I asked, looking at Roman, who seemed to have his attention on me already, his face filled with surprise as well. "Yes," Uncle Quinto replied. "Woke up this morning and he's doing fairly well now.""That's good news I guess," I said to him, watching Roman beckon on me to come back to the bed to stay with him. And I obeyed. "I'll still have to sort things out here, though, before I come back. You know that Right, Uncle Quinto?" "Yes dear, yes. The meeting is still holding with the chemists. I laid them off for a bit." Uncle Quinto replied. Roman pulled me close to him and kissed my cheeks while I was still on the phone, and I pouted, shoving him away while biting back a smile. "Ouch, wifey. That hurts." He said clutching his chest. "Both physically and emotionally."He pulled me closer again, spreading his legs on the bed and putting me in between his thighs. He was in a fresh set of loose grey pants that I had changed him into when we arrived after
~VITTORIA ~ "Roman, are you awake," I said, dropping the water immediately and going over to him. His nose wrinkled as he pressed his lips in a fine line. He was obviously still in pain while trying to find his balance and a position that wouldn't hurt him as he sat. Cleto and North wore worried expressions as they stopped right beside the bed, staring at him and Nicola shut the door behind them quietly. "Roman.. How do you feel?" I asked him again. He gave me a little smile, "I'm fine, babydoll. Never been better." He turned to face North and a glare replaced the smile which he had. North shifted uncomfortably on his feet and rubbed his neck awkwardly, "Uh--miss Vittoria called. I couldn't sit at home knowing you were in an accident." "Get the fu*k out of here," Roman ordered, his voice still raspy from sleep all while being commanding at the same time. My mind went back to the time when we were at their house and they were in an argument. It had just dawned on me that they h
~VITTORIA~I looked over to the direction he shot at and saw two men fall to the ground beside our car."I I saved you again wifey," Roman told me and I turned to him, seeing his face turning paler by the second. "Told you you didn't need to worry when you're with me."I heard onto him tighter as he started to let go of his weight slowly on me, "I think you're about to pass out again."He gave me a wide grin. "I'd be pleased to do so in your arms, you know?""Could you be serious for once Roman?" I asked eyeing him then scanning the area to be sure we were finally clear. "You need to be quiet now or you'll loose more blood." I said as I helped him and we walked to one of the cars which was upside down now, with broken windows and inflated tyres. He settled down, dropping the gun beside him and groaned, shutting his eyes.I moved his hair away from his face and cupped his face in my hands. "Roman, you'll need to keep your eyes open and stay with me right now."He nodded, opening them a
~ VITTORIA ~"Shit," I said turning to look at Roman. He held my hand immediately and I saw him take out a gun with his other hand."It's going to be okay. I'm not letting anything happen to you." He assured me and I could see it in his eyes that he meant what he said which made me trust him more. Our car sped up while Roman and Nicola started to shoot at where the car which was attacking was.The whole thing was becoming more fierce and the ride was becoming bumpy. In less than 2 minutes, the car behind us which had Roman and Uncle Quinto's men crashed into a pole making a halt. "Don't stop driving, Gio!" Roman commanded. "Vittoria babydoll, are you okay?" He asked scanning from my hair down to my body and I nodded swiftly. I hadn't noticed how tight I had clutched to him or the reason why I had because I mean I was Vittoria, the Lilith, not a girl who couldn't take care of herself. But here I was anyway, acting like I hadn't earned that nickname myself. Two more of our cars fill
