Chapter Seventy-Four: Heartbreak
The clock ticked loudly on the wall across from her, but no matter how hard Serenity tried to concentrate on the pictures of the winter collection displayed before her, she couldn’t. She hadn’t seen much of Xander all week and not only was it worrying her, it was pissing her off.
Lifting the phone to her ear, she called his number for the fourth time, but like before all she got was voicemail and the messages she sent all had a blue tick beside it with no response.
“Screw this.” Serenity shut her laptop and snatched the purse from the corner of her desk on her way out.
If he wanted to stay out of the house all day and night to avoid her, she had no problem seeking him out to find out why.

The next morning Serenity woke with a killer headache, the sun was already high in the sky and the space beside her on the bed was empty, for the eighth morning in a row. Heaving a heavy sigh, she dragged herself out of bed to complete her morning routine. She could vaguely recall the night before, with the exception of how she made it to bed, but what she did remember answered the question of why she felt like she’;d been hit by a freight train. Not bothering to change or comb her hair, Serenity threw her black locks into a messy bun on her way down the stairs. She was on a mission to find a painkiller and a glass of water, but what she found when she entered the kitchen sparked concern in her. Talking softly amongst themselves while Caterina prepared breakfast were Xander and her brothers. The casual wear Xander donned told her he didn;t plan on going to the office today and she wasn’t sure whether to be relieved or angry. “Serenity! You’re awake.” Caterina dropped the spatul

“Giovanni?” Serenity blurted and her eyes widened when she saw the man standing across from her at the threshold of the Moretti residence. “Can we talk?” She didn’t miss the way he flinched when she called him by his name, but he quickly swallowed the expression and gave her a tight lipped smile. Serenity was lost for words, this was the first time in years she would be alone in a room with her father and that thought made her nervous. Stepping aside she motioned for him to enter the house and shut the door firmly behind him. “Can I get you something to drink?” She asked politely, feeling awkward in the unchartered territory she was in. “Water is fine.” He answered shortly and followed a few paces behind her as she led them to the kitchen where she handed him a bottle of water from the fridge. “What is it you want to talk about?” She raised an eyebrow at him, curious about the sudden intrusion. Giovanni cleared his throat, “Is there somewhere private we can speak?” He looked

“I’ve been thinking about getting the new Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk.” Xander plopped down on the couch beside Serenity. “Tired of the Wrangler?” Matteo cocked an eyebrow, taking a sip of his beer. “Don’t get me wrong, I love the Wrangler, but I just think it’s time for an upgrade.” Xander shrugged. “The Trackhawk is definitely the full package.” Lorenzo smirked, clearly impressed by the vehicle. “Serenity?” Xander looked beside him to see his fiance staring off into space, not paying him a lick of attention and he looked at her with amusement as he nudged her, “Ser?” “Huh?” She snapped from her reverie when she heard her name being called, “Were you saying something?” She looked between them and Lorenzo frowned at her. “Xander was just telling us he wants to get the new Jeep Trackhawk.” Lorenzo’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Oh- uh, yeah. Do you like it?” She looked at Xander distractedly. Xander nodded slowly, watching her with suspicion. “What’s up with you, you’v

“Are you sure we’re at the right place?” Xander huffed, finally breaking after two hours of just sitting around, he was more of an action type of guy, staking out an enemy wasn’t really his strong suit.“José verified the address before he sent it to me and he sent me pictures of Joseph Ledger in front of this very house.” She opened the pictures on her phone and swiped through them for Xander to see.“Sorry. Sorry, I’m just no good at waiting around.” He sighed.“You don’t have to wait around, you know.” She smiled with amusement, lifting an eyebrow in his direction.Xander scoffed, “And leave you alone to d

“Wait, stop there. Who’s that?” Serenity pointed at the screen where a figure appeared.“It looks like a woman.” Xander squinted, picking up on the uniquely feminine features visible even in the partial blurry picture.“I’m pretty sure he isn’t married, could it be a housekeeper? Live in perhaps?” Serenity wondered and her mind raced back to the night before when they saw the shadow in the window.Xander shook his head doubtfully, “We need a closer look.”“I’ve got an idea.” Serenity’s lips curved upwards in a wicked smirk and she drew her phone from her pocket with extra pizazz.&nbs

The ebony wood stretched out from left to right with a magnificent glow. The bar he was seated at had a stellar reputation as one of the most elite establishments in the city, but even with such high praise more seats remained empty than those that were filled on a late Tuesday evening.The woman seated a few chairs down sipped leisurely on a classic martini without a care in the world. The casual attire she donned indicated she didn’t wake up that morning with any intention or knowledge that she would end the night alone in a bar.“It’s considered rude to stare at a lady especially without buying her a drink first.” The young woman spoke up suddenly.“I wasn’t staring. I was observing.” He shrugged half hea
Loving Mr Mafia Chapter Eighty-One: The bomb has dropped
Serenity lifted her fist and placed a hesitant knock on the door. Now that she was standing on the threshold of her childhood home she didn’t feel quite as certain about being there as she was on the drive over, especially without Xander by her side.None of her family members knew she was coming which made it all the more nerve wracking. What if no one was home and she was just standing there like an idiot?Fortunately her nervous wondering was cut short when the door swung open to reveal her mother’s scowling face, but the look quickly turned to one of surprise and thereafter delight.“Serenity! This is a surprise, what are you doing here? Oh come on in, why were you knocking?” Caterina ushered her daughter in to give her a tight h

“You knew, didn’t you?” Serenity questioned her brothers once the waiter left them alone. “I’m sorry Ser, he wanted to be the one to tell you himself.” Lorenzo offered her a tight smile while Matteo’s face remained impassive. “I just can’t believe it. I mean I know everyone has to die at some point, I just never thought it would be like this.” Serenity sighed, taking a sip of her fountain Sprite. Matteo scoffed, “I know what you mean.” For a moment the siblings were quiet, each just simply taking in the new reality they were faced with. “I think we should tell him about Darrio.” Serenity stated suddenly, causing both her brothers’ eyes to snap to her. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Enzo frowned, he simply didn’t see merit in telling Giovanni what Darrio was doing for him. “Why not? I think he deserves to know the sacrifices his son has made for him, furthermore, what happens if he dies and Darrio finds out we knew all along, he’ll never forgive us.” Serenity shook her
