Lonely Mafia Shall We Love Chapter 74
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

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

A few days after, Asher and his friends' stayover in Olivia's new houseOlivia: MiaMia: Yes, OlyOlivia: This sucksMia: What happened?Olivia: NothingMia: What is it?Mia: ??Mia: Is it about Ash?Olivia: I-Olivia: I haven't talked to Ash since everyone left my flat, which is fine.

Paul looks at Asher, who looks like a walking cold block of ice, void of any motions on his face. He asks with concern, “Asher, are you okay?”Asher blinks out of his trance and stares ahead as he replies, “Adam is right. Olivia has been a distraction.”“That’s not true,” Paul is quick to deny. “it's the exhaustion talking and the tournament approaching. Adam is cranky. Well, more than usual...”“Even then, he raised a point,” Asher says.Now Paul feels helpless, Asher is slowly closing off again. “He did not. Even if Olivia is a distraction, you're more than allowed to have it and enjoy it,” Paul assures Asher with a smile.“I should just focus on the tournament and all we've been dealing with.”“And that's what you've been doing, Asher,” Paul says. “Every day, you wake up and work nonstop until late at night. You should have that distraction.”“I don't think so.”“Did you talk to Adam? After the sleepover?” Paul asks without answering Asher.“I didn't,” Asher says truthfully.Paul s

Later that nightAfter talking with Adam, Asher found his heart calmed down a bit. Once he was sure Adam was not against the idea of him talking to Olivia, Asher couldn’t help but miss Olivia.It has been four days, and he hasn't had the time to talk to Olivia. With a little hesitation, Asher texts Olivia late at nightAsh: Are you awake?Olivia, who just came back from the wild after an intense fight with wild boars, was panting hard sitting on the couch.Her phone chimes with a notification and she takes it and opens the lock expecting a message from Mia. To her surprise, she sees a text from the Mob Boss, who was disappeared for days.Olivia wants to talk to him so badly, but she is still a bit upset at him for ghosting her these days. She contemplates for two minutes before deciding to reply to the mob boss.Olivia: I don't know if you're still awake, but I'll go shower, and we can talk in twenty if you're hereAsh: I'm still awake, and take your time. I'll waitOlivia suddenly fe

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
