~VITTORIA~

We took cover behind one of the front pews with Roman holding my hand tightly while a pool of blood was rapidly forming next to the dead priest.

It was a hassle as everyone tried to figure out what was happening. The Argentero side which was more populated was still in a state of confusion as the men tried to shield the women, Simone and younger teenagers.

There were then some gunshots from the Argentero side and two of the Masked men dropped to the floor.

My eyes darted to where Uncle Quinto, Yara and Tiziano sat. It wasn't any different from the Argentero side, except at the moment, one of the Masked guys was walk- running towards Tiziano. I wasn't with a gun and in this commotion, my knife wouldn't really help me.

Uncle Quinto fired at him and he fell to the ground immediately.

I made to stand up but was held tighter by Roman and I turned to see him looking at me. "It's not safe to go out yet." He said with a head shake. He aimed at one of the masked men and shot at him,

    ~VITTORIA~I watched Tiziano lay unconsciously later that night in his room. The doctor had said his head injury was severe and he would take some time before regaining consciousness soon so we just had to wait. The house was heavily guarded and his wingman and most trusted soladatos were there as well."You don't have to be so worried." Uncle Quinto said passing me a glass of alcohol.I gulped down the whole thing in a flash and handed it over to one of the housekeepers to take away. "As if. I'm not going to act like I care that much honestly. Plus it's his fault for making this stupid business deal with that family. Merging territories? Expanding businesses? Of course, they'd want to kill us off and take everything for themselves."Uncle Quinto sighed. He looked exhausted and he still had his clothes from the wedding earlier. While I had changed out of my wedding dress immediately after I got home into a more comfortable dress and had even had a couple of drinks before deciding it w

    ~ROMAN~I observed Zaed Stokes as we discussed business. He was composed, thought before he spoke and most importantly the perfect person for the kind of work I wanted to do with him. I was impressed I couldn't lie and the aura of authority that surrounded him lived up to his name."That would be all," I told him, gulping down the remaining alcohol. I stretched out my hand and Diego handed over some documents to me. "Look into it and let me know if there's something you find unfavourable," I said setting down the envelope in front of him.He nodded, blowing out some smoke from his cigarette. "I see the Argenteros really don't go well with the Bratva. That can be fixed with one meeting. Leave it to me."I smiled at him. He did know how to rub people the right way. "That would be appreciated," I answered as I checked the time before standing up. I had two other appointments to meet up with, first to go see my mother and secondly, to pick up the woman who wanted to make herself a widow s

    ~VITTORIA~I stomped out after I was told Roman had come to the house to see he was still in his car. He had come with Diego, who was leaning on the car, arms folded as the sun rays hit the windscreen leaving a blinding reflection on it.Roman came out of the car, then proceeded to take out a large bouquet from the back before walking towards the front porch where I stood.He was dressed casually, in an undershirt and a jacket thrown on top with a pair of jeans and boots. It was the first time I was seeing him dressed in anything that wasn't a shirt neatly tucked into his trousers or a suit. And as much as I hated him and hated to admit, even to myself, he really looked good.He beamed while waving at me and I rolled my eyes at him. "Hey, Mrs Argentero!" He called out, walking past Tiziano's men who were scattered at literally every point of the house."It's Vittoria Belluci." I corrected as he stopped in front of me, smirking."You still holding a grudge huh?" He asked, handing me th

    ~VITTORIA~"Says who, babydoll?" He asked, making another turn nonchalantly as my eyes scanned every corner of the road."I'm not bad with directions. This wasn't where we were at last time." I replied, suddenly alert."I'm taking you to my house." He said stressing out the 'MY'. My eyes went back to him just as I felt the car come to a halt. All these while I had thought that I was going to be at his family house because I assumed he lived there and that was what I had prepared myself for. But I had never imagined I would have to live with him. Differently. Alone."Don't worry, I wouldn't kidnap my wife." He said with a wink.I rolled my eyes away from him and looked to see we were now in front of a different gate. Some dudes opened the gate and we drove in.We stopped in front of his house and he got out. I did the same too, not waiting for him to get the door for me. He came to me and shook his head. "Already in a haste to see what our bedroom looks like?" He asked putting his hand

    ~VITTORIA~The next day, I sat in my car outside the nightclub owned by Roman where the Cosa Nostra meeting was going to be held. It was something I never thought I'd be attending this soon and as much as Tiziano had always prepared me for it, I still wasn't prepared. The Belluci curse had never favoured me in the Cosa Nostra and one thing I knew was that men in the Cosa Nostra had Misogyny for breakfast every morning and were ready to spit it whenever the chance jumped out."So I'd have to wait in here for you?" Scout asked from beside me. I mentally face-palmed myself on how I had totally forgotten about him being there and somehow ended up bringing him all the way here.Scout was someone I had slept with like thrice in the past with. He used to work for Tiziano until he started working for me, and started doing more than just work. It was a secret we both kept from Tiziano, knowing that if Tiziano found out, he was going to be a goner that instant."Wait in here with no trouble and

    ~VITTORIA~Yes, Bianchi was dead."Anyone else have something to say?" Roman asked, observing the bosses.There was silence. And that silence meant that the meeting was over as well because the next thing I knew, Roman was standing up and grabbing my hand."We shall continue this later. The invitation will be sent out once I'm ready." He instructed.I tried to hold back my hand, indirectly telling him that I could stand by myself and leave the room by myself as well. But his hand was firmly on mine and his pull was rigid. He was determined to make me leave with him.The bosses watched as we left the room together with Nicola and Cleto who had stayed back earlier when I had entered the room. If I thought the hate stares were much when I had walked in earlier, the ones I got now were a double fold of it. Now, with me being the cause of Bianchi's death, I could swear they were ready to kill me at the slightest chance they got.I reluctantly walked with Roman past Biachi's body which was

    ~VITTORIA ~The sun seemed to have awoken at the same time as I did because the next thing was the sun's rays hitting my face harshly. Usually, Nicola would have been the one to shut the blinds whenever I slept off but with her staying at the quarters which was a fair distance from the main house, it was a hassle altogether for the both of us.I sprang up annoyed, hissing and cursing Roman under my breath, ready to walk into his room and stab not only his hand to the table but his neck as well. Because why the fuck would he kill Scout? What did Scout ever do?I dashed out of the room, banging the door and making my way towards the direction of the staircase, when I heard chattering and laughter coming from the kitchen. If there was one thing I noticed in the past few days of being here, it was that none of the guards usually came into the house, probably Roman loved his privacy or something. So I was genuinely curious to know who was allowed into the kitchen.I reached there and the s

    ~VITTORIA~“I think you’re misunderstanding, Miss Lilith Belluci. I honestly, like from the depth of the organ that pumps my blood, dislike you. Bitterly. Why do you always come here?” Yara, the most welcoming person I know said as she poked her head through the little open space of the door she held.I smiled at her, “Oh... If it isn’t Yara the angel whom the whole nation finds to be so kind and full of love. Imagine they finally find out you’ve been putting on a facade.” I said to her. “And your little princess business comes down to nothing.”She owned ‘YARA shoes’ which was the most popular shoe brand out there and the prettiest too. Although I had never admitted that to her and would never either. But I did get a whole lot of them whenever there was a new launch and something told me she secretly loved it.She also did some model shoots every now and then and all I could say was she had the stress free perfect life which I lowkey envied.She rolled her eyes at me as she opened th

    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

  • Lilith Addiction(A mafia book)    chapter 48

    ~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

    ~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

    ~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 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

    ~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
