Two years later
“Mermaid,” Nick’s voice made her stir up from her sleep. But she didn’t open her eyes thinking this is her dream.
“Wake up, mermaid. Look at your kingdom,” he chuckled softly.Naomi smiled, still thinking this is a dream.
“Darling open your eyes and look at this ocean. Don’t waste time sleeping here,” he said and yes, she could hear the sound of the ocean.
Naomi left a small sigh and opened her eyes to look at the blue sea from the window.
She smiles and her gaze turns to Nick.
“Isn’t that beautiful?” he asks.
“Yes,” she nods smiling at him.“Now, wake up. I want to go there with you,” he said.
“Give me five minutes, please,” she requested, squinting her eyes. He can’t deny it when she does that expression.
“Fine,”
When he was about to get up, sh
Loving the Mafia HeirChapter- 1“Meet you on Monday,” Lisa says as she and Naomi came out of their class after discussing their new assignment with which they were partnered.“Sure,” Naomi gave a smile. “What’s your plan for the evening?”“Nothing, you know Nicholas is having a match so everyone went there to see it and my mom will be picking me up at the entrance,”“You are going to watch the match?” she asks.“Yeah,” Naomi nodded with no enthusiasm.“Enjoy then, bye,” Lisa smiles as she walks to her car. This is the first time they are having a proper conversation since middle school.Naomi has either surrounded by her brothers or by books. She didn’t get any interest to make friendships with others when her brothers occupied most of her free time in the house and in school. They are e
The dinner is at Magnus’s favorite restaurant, all of them have gathered to celebrate the victory. His father has booked the entire place for the night. After that embarrassing moment, Naomi stayed silent and didn’t put on her hearing aid.The adults sat together at a table and they occupied the other seats. She looked at Nicholas and Magnus chatting busily about the match. Through their lip-sync, she understood Nick was telling how he managed to knock out the players and it’s gruesome how describes it so Naomi turned down and looked at the table.Seeing her dull face, Jorge whispers, “What’s this sad face? Are you still angry at him?”“What?” she turned to him.“Put your hearing aid,” he says and she did. Then he said that again.“No, I am not feeling good,”“Tell me what’s bothering you?” he asks.Naomi gave in easily, “It’s Nick. H
âMom, I am going to Juliaâs home,â Naomi said to her mother whoâs in her study room, working on her new novel. Naomi is a great fan of her momâs book, she loves all the male characters, they are so dreamlike and charming. Her all-time favorite is Victor, Ashleyâs debut novel Hero. Heâs a great character, and over the years she somewhat understood that itâs based on her father. Till now, she didnât meet such a type of person in her life but it would be great if she finds a guy whoâs attractive like the heroes in her momâs novel. âOkay dear,â she first nodded but then turned her attention to Naomi, âAre you sure? Because last time, Nick and you had a fight. I canât see you sad like that,â she said removing her glasses. âMom, thatâs fine. I wonât mind him this time,â she says confidently. âWhy donât you ask Julia to come here?â her mom suggested. âNo, mom. I am fine. She has exams tomorrow and sheâs preparing for them. Nothing like last time will
Chapter- 4Julia heard the conversation that Naomi recorded last night. Once the audio ended, Julia’s lips curled in a smile.“He’s so cute,” she said.Naomi smiled, seeing how much she’s into Jorge.“And don’t call my brother a jerk, even if it is true,” Julia says, hearing the last part of their conversation.“Sorry, I won’t say that,” Naomi apologizes with a smile.“That’s okay,” Julia smiles.“What do you think?” Naomi asks.“Hmm, I don’t know what to say, but I am kind of happy now,”
Chapter- 5Days passed one after the other. She doesn't know how these three days passed so fast just like how she wished. She can’t deny the fact that she thought about Nick in the past three days. Like an alarm clock, his thoughts will pop out every now and then. She wanted to know when exactly he will return, but her ego doesn’t allow her to ask anyone.But today, he might have returned from his trip and will be in his class now. With this thought, she walked by the side of his class after meeting her class tutor.When she was looking for him, standing beside the window, Magnus noticed her and came out thinking she’s here for him.This is the last day of their school and the vacation starts from tomorrow, she thought at least today Nick will be here but to her
Chapter- 6 Nick came out of the bathroom after a long cold shower. Only a towel wrapped around his waist and his wet abs were glittering in the lights. He went over to the glass wall and looked at the beautiful city. This is the last day of his stay in this place, he badly wants to go home and be with his cousins. But on the other hand, he has to be with his father, he has responsibilities which he canât compromise for his own happiness. This Mafia family, his fatherâs position in that, and the duties that he needs to carry out from now on have totally stressed him. No one knows what others are going through in their life, masking emotions is the easiest part and heâs not an exception in that. Maybe he might look so happy in his life but he feels the other, like everythi
Chapter- 7“Naomi?” Derek's voice surged in joy and excitement but she didn’t pay much attention to that and thought it’s normal.“Yes, Derek,” she said while lying on her bed. She was just taking a nap after a long time.“Are you coming to that party?” he wanted a confirmation. “Yes, Derek. I have told you,” she uttered in half-sleep.“Okay, are you sleeping?” he asks.“Yeah, I just woke up from the nap,” she answered and got up from the bed.“Tell me, Derek, what’s the matter?” she asks when he
Chapter- 8Naomi couldn’t take her eyes off Nick. He looked hunky in that perfectly fit white shirt and pair of black tailored pants. Handsome is really a small word to describe what she’s seeing right now, it’s more than that.Out of everyone she sees here, he’s looked more attractive to her eyes. Her heart is racing and she couldn’t stop anything that’s happening inside her.She then turned her gaze to Derek who looked different today, a little more handsome and dressed better than all these guys. He got a new haircut that complemented his looks. No one will believe she’s related to this bunch of hot fellas.Her eyes again turned to Nickolas, though he has short hair (as his boxing coach put a rule not to grow

Chapter- 58Naomi is sitting on the small chair before her wardrobe and looking at which dress to wear for Magnus-Lisa’s engagement party tomorrow. This is the first party that they were going to attend after Nick came home.Nick came in and stood next to her after finishing off some work in his office. “What are you looking at?” He asks. His voice sounded tired and he placed his hand on her shoulder.“My clothes aren’t fitting me anymore so I am looking at which one I should wear for tomorrow,” she said.“Can I give you a suggestion?” he asks. “Sure, you can,” Naomi smiles. Nick took a moment and pointed out a yellow dress. “This would be great on you,” he said.“Thanks,” Naomi likes his choice and looks up to meet his eyes. He just simply put her at ease. Being pregnant isn’t that easy as she always stressing out about everythin
Chapter- 57Nick’s scars have healed as a week passed. He mostly stayed at home. Naomi went to work but her thoughts were always on Nick. Now she becomes that worried person in their relationship. She would call Nick often and he loves to attend her calls as he was bored to be alone at home. Naomi would come home earlier and they would watch movies, talk endlessly and fall asleep clasping hands.They have checked with the doctor and Naomi was prescribed medicines and advised not to get stressed at this time.She agreed and they were coming back to normal. But they were also being more conscious about their safety. Naomi double-checks the locks before going to sleep and also had a nightmare which she never wanted to remember. She has been taking advice from her mom, Aunts and they visit her often. When she’s with Nick, she felt safe and happy.In the meantime, Vincent has taken a decision and when he said it to the others, no one thoughts it&rs
Chapter- 56 Everyoneâs eyes were fixed at the doorstep where Nick stood, not in his usual brisk. His injuries were covered by the jacket heâs wearing. Even though his face is utterly dull, he managed to plaster a smile for everyoneâs sake of happiness. His eyes for Naomi and when he spotted her near stairs, his smile grew wider turning into a happy grin. Sheâs staring at him back with a smile, it gave him a comfort at last after all that he endured in the past two days. All his family members were there. Magnus has cut off his trip short to see his best friend. He was so worried and completely angry at Andrei. At the time heâs so happy to know that heâs going to be an Uncle soon. âWhy everyone looking at me like that?â he asks. âI am alright,â He walked in holding his fatherâs hand. Naomi canât help but feel gloomy to see him. âFor a few more days. Donât hug me,â Nick warned them with a smile. Julia and his mom were oneâs who hi
Chapter- 55Naomi is sitting in the garden silently and she didn’t look anywhere except her phone. Her thoughts were all on Nick. She’s waiting for the call from Jorge.That time, Julia came with coffee and some potato chips.“Nat, you didn’t eat anything? At least have this coffee,” she said.Naomi finally realized that she should eat, at least for her baby. So she got that mug and sipped the coffee.She looked dull more than she ever was.Nick was shot two times, in the shoulder and chest. It’s critical but he survived. Obviously, the person responsible for this is Andrei.“Nat. I know my brother, he’s such a strong person so don’t worry, okay,”She nods but nothing can comfort her at this time. It’s only Nick, his voice and his assurance that he’s okay are what she’s yearning for right now.“You know what Julia. I am so afraid right now,
Chapter- 54Nick is traveling to Miami and Los Vegas for some business. Naomi is sad but she didn’t show it on her face. She just stood beside the foot of the bed and watching him packing his stuff.“I will be back soon,” he said noticing the apparent sadness in her face.“Okay,” she smiles. “And stay at your father’s home, okay,” he said and she nods in assurance.“I would have taken you with me but I am not going for a normal trip.“Okay,” she nods and went to him.“You have to be safe,” she said caressing his hair.“Don’t worry about me,” he smiles and his hands were resting on her butt.He’s going to leave in two hours and Naomi has something important to tell him but she hesitates to open that up at this time. She wants to reveal it at a perfect moment so she chose to be silent.“I just have an hour left
Chapter- 53“Fuck, fuck, fuck,” Andrei gritted and punched the table hard which heard louder in that empty room.“How could that bastard do this? Again and Again,” Andrei punched the wooden table repeatedly considering that as Nick’s face. He wants to beat him to death and leave him to die painfully. That’s when he could feel better.Andrei isn’t happy with the way Nick has crashed one of his businesses and he has lost millions in this. In the past year, Andrei has maintained low and living a normal life looking after his business but this again tempting him to put the revenge on. He can’t leave this matter; he can’t accept this failure and he’s never going to back down like his father.He took his phone and called his uncle. “I want you to kill him now, don’t give me any fucking excuse. I really want him to be dead this time.“But it’s not that easy, it
“I didn’t meet Nick, Julia’s brother?” she said. “You met him, I introduced him as Nicholas, he got long hair,” Derek reminded. “Yeah, that handsome guy. I remember him. He didn’t chat with us like others so I thought he’s a distant relative and he looked different from the photos,” she said. Monica doesn’t have siblings like Derek, she’s quite interested in his cousins and wants to know how they were so close. When they were in London, he didn’t share this many details with her.Now after meeting all his family members personally she got so many questions. They were all good-looking and interesting people.“He’s a busy person. He actually came there for Naomi, they were together now,” Derek said. “You mean in a relationship?” “Yeah, they were dating on and off since high school,” he answered. “That’s in
Chapter- 52 It was a weekend, Jorge came out of the airport carrying his small travel bag. Heâs wearing a black shirt and black slacks and sunglasses covering his blue eyes. He looked like a greek god in modern attire. He removed his sunglasses when he spotted Julia waiting for him and his lips curled in a smile. When Julia saw him, she ran to him with a smile. He lifted her from the ground and her hands, legs were wrapped around him in a strong embrace. She didnât mind doing such a thing in public because she missed him that much. Itâs been two weeks since they met. He started kissing her when she stood on her feet. âI missed you, baby,â he said. She smiled and stood away from him to take a proper look at hi
