Lonely Mafia Shall We Love Chapter 70
Sometime later….Olivia shuffles on his lap, Asher glancing down at the awakening wolf. Olivia yawns, displaying her acute teeth, and perhaps Asher has lost all sense of self-preservation because he wonders what those fangs would feel like if they were as sharp as they appear to be.Olivia twists on her stomach, and she pushes herself off to sit, barely leaving a second for Asher to admire the wolf’s elegance before Olivia gracefully jumps over the couch to land on the floor and saunter to the bathroom.“I don’t know about you, but I’m getting tired,” Steve says through a yawn, the rest following him with aborted grunts and sleepy words of approval. “Olivia, hurry. I was about to take a piss!”“M’done,” Olivia mumbles as she steps out of the bathroom a minute later, clad in her former clothes. She pads to the living room and bumps into Adam on her way there. She grabs a blanket and climbs on the couch, crawling toward Asher, her eyes half closed.Asher freezes when Olivia drops hersel

Asher hoists himself up, and he shifts on his axis to face the couch, his arms folded over the seat as he says, “Olivia?”Olivia’s head twists before her whole body does as she turns to face Asher, her head cushioned on her hands. “What is it?”Asher watches Olivia, the moonlight that seeps into the room through the closed curtain casts a bluish, gray light across her face, the shadows emphasizing her features, and Asher is struck by how pretty Olivia is.He realized it a while ago since he first saw the hybrid’s face, but the nebulous thought was only refined once honed by the now palpable beauty.“Mob Boss Ash?”Asher darts his eyes behind him, checking if everyone is asleep, and once satisfied, he rests his right cheek on his arms, peering at Olivia. “You only know Asher,” he whispers as the two have, not taking any risk to wake up the others. “You haven’t seen who Ash is. You didn’t with Henry.”“But I know what you did to him,” Olivia retorts with a frown.“Partially. What if I t

"I won't because you don't. You don't f*cking understand," Asher snaps, and someone shifts behind them, the two freezing for a moment as they survey the heaps of sleeping bodies under the blankets.Once assured that the others are unaware of the discussion growing into an argument, Asher says, "You have no idea of what entering my world entails. It's eons away from a regular li—""You're the one who doesn't understand sh*t. You refuse to, actually, for no reason and—""I'm not, and if anyone is refusing anything here, it's the one who—""It's the one who won't listen to someone else and would rather treat them like they're a gullible child unable to comprehend anything that comes out of their annoying mouth.""Stop cutting me off.""I will when you stop being a f*cking idiot and cutting me off.""I don't even know why I thought it'd be a good idea to talk to you," Asher says, and he straightens up. However, Olivia halts him before he gets to turn around."Look at you doing the same th

Olivia doesn’t move. She doesn’t lift her head from Asher’s shoulder to peer at the man. She doesn’t even fully register the words because her mind is enraptured in the skin under her own, the sensation of it not being enough, and so she closes her eyes.Feels.Olivia’s hand skids upward, and she doesn’t have to exert any strength to do so, Asher letting her in spite of the vice around her wrist.Olivia’s forearm is under the sleeve, pressed flushed upon Asher’s bicep, right where she wants it to be, and she starts from the top, her fingers randomly grazing the ragged and puffy skin.Her fingers delicately brush up and down, left and right, mapping out the scar. Scars, Olivia realizes, four of them encasing the upper arm.The pulp of Olivia’s fingers passes by a few dips here and there. Some segments of the scars are smooth and velvety, while others are wrinkled and jagged, signs of poor healing. She visualizes their shape, the pair of crescents they form as they cross each other.Oli

Olivia lets herself be guided inside the living room, and she pushes the balcony's bay window behind them, the latter slotting shut with a click.They walk to the mattresses, stopping at the edge of the one installed on the floor against the couch, and Olivia drops the collar of her sweater to move closer to Asher as she says, "Do you mind if I sleep on the mattress with you? I'm sorry if I'm clingy. I j—""I don't mind, come on," Asher says and steps on the makeshift bed, Olivia following suit. "Do you want to sleep against the couch or next to Steve?""Against the couch, I prefer sleeping on the right when there's someone else." Olivia moves to her place as Asher lets go of her wrist, and she crouches to push the blanket aside, grabs her own pillow, and soon lying down on her right side, the couch behind her, while Asher and the others face her, the other five men and Mia laid down in a row on the mattresses.Asher is quick to mirror her, shuffling under the covers, and Olivia smile
Lonely Mafia Shall We Love Chapter 75
Olivia isn’t surprised by the confession. She expected it. However, what astonishes her is that she somehow had an inkling conviction that Asher had been the one to take the life of his own father, the inflection in the boss’ timber having held an edge of vindicated hatred.Olivia must be f*cked up in her own way, she recognizes, for the calmness that seeps inside her feels misplaced, improper to have been elicited by the pride of being able to read someone other than Mia.Asher is an enigma, a puzzle of threads weaved together in what looks like an impossibly entangled canvas, yet, little by little, thread by thread, Olivia has been unraveling the clusters, rearranging them to delineate the hidden form within its core slowly.So, and at the worry etching Asher’s features, Olivia says, “I figured as much with how you said it. I don’t know why, but… Yeah. How did it happen?”“I don’t want to talk about it.”“Are you okay?” Olivia asks, and it seems to be the wrong question to ask becau
Lonely Mafia Shall We Love Chapter 76
After a brief moment of hesitation, where she concludes facing Asher isn’t as damning as having her nape kissed so gently, Olivia swivels, and she doesn’t get to see Asher’s face. She refuses to before she scoots lower underneath the blanket until she reaches her destination.Her path leads her right under Asher’s chin, and she curls there, head on Asher’s bicep, as she tucks her face in the neck with a sigh. “Okay?”“It is.”“‘kay.” Olivia, similar to how Asher is, curves her left arm over the boss’ waist as she nestles further against him, finding shelter in the presence of another body so close to her own.However, her nape feels bare now, devoid of any warmth. “Want the kiss again.”“You’d have to move for that.”Olivia huffs, and instead of shooting a retort, she blindly looks for the wrist of Asher’s right hand, which she grabs and drags high up her neck.“You don't have to,” Asher says when he notices the pause in Olivia’s movement.“I know. I want to try.”And so Olivia contin

Both stare at each other silently. Asher’s words ring in the silent room. His face is filled with uncertainty and hesitation but also assurance. He is willing to do that only if Olivia will accompany him during those nights.Olivia without even hearing his words understands the turmoil in Asher’s heart. “Of course, Asher. we can call, facetime, or text whenever there's one. I’ll always be there with you”“Thank you.” Asher’s face breaks into a smile.The genuine smile makes Olivia’s heart tingle “We'll make a bunch of good memories about storms so that the bad ones are gone.” She says with a smile.Asher looks surprised and delighted with the suggestion “I'd love that.”“Me too.”Olivia looks at Asher and suddenly she remembers something “Also, I'm learning how to bake.”“What? Why?” Asher looks confused and surprised.“I was supposed to give you a gift some time ago but it slipped my mind with all the mess that had been happening. And now I changed the present I want to give you.” Ol

They both go silent after that, looking at each other's faces not knowing what to say."What?” Olivia starts, she was offended by the silence from Asher “Did I say something wrong?" she asks Asher with a smile.Asher’s face lit up and he shook his head "No, not at all."His answer made Olivia satisfied, she nodded her head with a happy smile on her face. "Was there a thunder on your side?""Yeah, something like that." Asher’s face dims remembering the situation he was trying to ignore.Olivia notices and asks with a soft voice "Do you want to talk about it?"Asher looks startled "About what?" he asks with confusion."Why you're scared of storms."Asher peruses his lips and goes silent. His tongue comes out to lick his dry lips. He shifts on his bed curling on to himself "There's nothing much to say.""I'm still listening if you want to share." Olivia doesn’t prob, but still tries to talk to him.Asher is not someone who opens up to someone about his shortcomings. He has been trained t

“I could live in this car.” Olivia sighs into the leather seat.“I don’t think Mini would appreciate that,” Asher says from where he’s bent over, his arms propped on the edge of the rolled-down window.“Good point. She’s tiny but needs a lot of space, a bit like Steve.” Olivia snickers at her own joke, two duffle bags brimming with Asher’s clothes thrown over the seat next to where she’s installed at the back of the car.“I’ll tell him you say that.”“Go ahead, I’ve been meaning to fight him after Airhead.”“Brat.”Olivia peers up at Asher, catching the fond smile on the boss’ lips. “Thank you for the date.”“You’re welcome, and thank you too,” Asher says, his face close to Olivia. “You enjoyed yourself?”“Mhm, the most,” Olivia grins as she fastens her belt when the driver enters the vehicle“Me too,” Asher whispers, and with his index, he brushes a strand of hair away from Olivia’s forehead. “I won’t be able to text you much today, but I’ll do what I can to try.”“It’s fine, don’t w

When Olivia wakes up a few hours later, it’s to an empty bed, Asher’s side on the mattress tidied up, the phone and iPad on the nightstand gone.It doesn’t take long for Olivia to figure out where the mob boss went when, and after relieving herself in the restroom, she climbs down the stairs to make her way to the dining room.Asher is seated at the end of the table installed in the corner of the bay windows and Olivia trudges up to the mob boss.Hands shoved in her pants pockets, Olivia knocks her foot on the leg of the chair Adam is occupying, the one directly on Asher’s left.“Move,” Olivia orders when Adam does not budge.Adam swivels around. “Say that again, GaintDog?”“That’s my seat. Move.”“How about you f*ck off before I shoot you in the knee?” Adam snaps when Olivia kicks the chair again. “It’s no one’s seat, however right now it’s mine because my a*s is on it.”“Adam, come on,” Walter intervenes from where he’s lounged further down the table, Mia by his sides. “They’re in t
