MAFIA’S WILD OBSESSION CHAPTER 9: BLOODY NIGHT
ANGEL'S POV:TWO YEARS LATER"Ma'am, the manager says that if you're going to keep sitting here, you're gonna need to order something..." The waiter glanced down at my table, judgement written all over his face. "...that's not water."My stomach squirmed and I forced out a civilized smile. One that contrasted vividly with the tension swirling within me."Well, I... Can I get a few minutes more? My date is on his way."Was he?Polished and clad in a crispy-clean uniform, I watched the young man's eyes twitch in irritation. However, just like me, he forced out a well-practiced smile."Very well, ma'am. I'll be back to take your order in 30 minutes." With that, he bowed lightly and walked back to an equally polished man standing off at the corner of the restaurant with a firm glare fixated on me.The manager, I suppose.I waved at him sweetly, which of course he didn't respond to, but he did well to shift his attention to attend to the lovely couple that just walked in, plastering an obn

ANGEL’S POV:Somehow, I always knew it’d come to this - the day my father’s insatiable desire to get into trouble would be his ruin. And mine.I wished I could say that getting a distress call like that was a first, but that would be an ugly lie. My father dined with bad luck and had long time made his bed with trouble.He had been arrested. He had been hospitalized. He had been battered and bruised and dragged the length of a football field by debt collectors.Yet, every single week, he found a more creative way of shitting both our lives.He was after all the reason I’d lost my college tuition funds, just to save his ass from getting buried alive by angry men who chewed on debtors like him for breakfast.Yes, that’s what I do. I, Angel Winchester, the miserable savior of her old man. Tirelessly. Repeatedly. Annoyingly. Even the best of saints would be fed up at this point, yet I couldn’t afford to because he was all I had left.If I lost him…My heart plunged to their depths just at

ANGEL’S POV:With her fashionable black coat worn over a short black dress and that intoxicating air of feline confidence, the woman looked like she belonged to the cover of a high-society magazine, or on the runway, strutting her long legs hidden behind those thigh-high boots.“Who…who are you? And what are you doing in my house?” My composure was back and from her unbothered stance, I suddenly felt the need to stand a little straighter, eyes hardened on hers.How the hell does she even know my name?“I heard you’d be a little feisty.” She smirked, reminding me of a wolf – deceptive and devious. “And you have no house, sweet heart. This dump belongs to the De Novo family.”My heart froze. “W-what…?”“Try not to drop your jaws, there are flies around.” She pulled the door wider. “Come in.”My thoughts doubled with a million questions and a chill ran up my spine at every possibility. Have no house? What? Who the hell was she anyway, standing in my doorway and calling me sweetheart?Irr

ANGEL’S POV:The old grandfather clock spelled doom with every heavy tick, licking away the seconds like a bomb waiting to explode. In the grave silence, every unfortunate sound and action felt amplified. Tense. Brutal.A drop of cold sweat rolled down my neck. I swallowed, yet the paralyzing ball of anxiety threatened to bruise my wildly racing heart. It echoed mercilessly, syncing naturally with the foreboding footsteps Christian took as he returned from the kitchen with a bottle of wine.He must have seized the oxygen in the room, cause in seconds of reappearing, my lungs tightened painfully and air evaded me. My insides burned, but I feared that perhaps if I breathed too loudly, he’d be reminded of my presence.Unfortunately, I was wrong. Christian already had his eyes fixed precisely on me.“I must say, Mr. Winchester, I’m impressed by your taste in wine. This might perhaps be your only redeemable quality.” The man gave off a wolfish-grin.“He deserves no redemption.” It was the

ANGEL’S POV:If only she could shut up for one second, then maybe I might be able to hear my own thoughts.Every foreign word Astrid spat, at some point, became a verbal blur of thunderstorms and fury. In between, she’d throw an accusatory finger at me, as if reporting a bad kid to the principal for stealing from the cookie jar. I might have laughed if under a different circumstance.But it wasn’t.Twisted to a sickening extent, my heart bled to the ground, and it wasn’t like the soft pitter patters of the rain, or the small tear drops that stained my cheeks. I was completely drenched in a pool of my own despair, sinking deeper and deeper into every heartbreak, disappointment and exhaustion I’d faced in the past two years.The memories mocked me.The day I gave away my college funds to keep father out of jail. The semester I left school because I couldn’t pay my fees anymore. The days I spent tirelessly searching for a job. The unending rejections. The hell I faced trying to foot fath

CHRISTIAN’S POV:From a young age, 12 to be precise, I’d been taught to take no prisoners. Do what needs to be done. No remorse. No mercy. You only give up when you’ve taken your last breath, buried alongside your demons and left cold. And even then, you’d find no peace till you’ve conquered hell itself. The chess board before me was built of white and black soldiers, and just like the pieces were my soldiers, the entire board was my empire. Father had taught me that. It was a tango that needed patience and strategy; a truly deadly combination.I moved my white pawn, the weakest on the board, and couldn’t help the small curve of my lips at the surprise that flitted across Roma’s face. Reclining into the sofa and crossing my legs, I took great pleasure in watching the other man’s pensive eyes reassess his next move. And as expected, he moved his knight. A wicked grin lighted my features.“It’s not very satisfying to see my opponent smile when he’s obviously losing.” He passed me

ANGEL’S POV:There was a reason I never thought about Christian for two years. He was a mistake. One that consumed my mind at every waking second I spent in Carter’s arms. His icy gray eyes. Intense and haunting. That slow sexy smile he loved to wear. And of course, the blood that coated his skin when I ran.Somehow, that scene had permanently etched itself to my memory.It drove me mad with anger and disgust that I’d let myself roll in bed with a man who had a relation with my mother’s murderers, that I had tossed away my relationship with Carter just to quench a single desire that had been conceived from a stupid dare.I glared harshly at the white tiled walls of the bathroom. The cold water freely falling from the shower head did not nearly extinguish the scalding resentment that coursed through me. I scrubbed my skin with intent to bruise it.If I could go back to that night, I’d have never said yes to Nadia and Sage. Hell, I’d have slapped some senses into the naïve girl I’d been

CHRISTIAN’S POV:‘Be gentle with her,’ was all mother had said when I’d told her about Angel. Her words had been nonchalant, drifting off in a lost pattern, but from a woman who had long given up on her will to live, it was everything I needed to hear.Everything that pushed and taunted the heights of my control when it came to Angel.I ruled the pile of my darkest thoughts and restraints, yet with just one glance at the infuriating woman beside me on the car seat and I was filled with an obscene urge – one that beckoned me to break her, to rip out that maddening fire from her spine.Or at the very least, fuck it straight out of her.Blood shot down my groin and it only further provoked me that even in this moment, with my patience worn thin from her attempt to slap me, I was still so fucking hard, it ached.The thin line between my irritation and this wild desire was blurring and by the second, it proved even more difficult to know where one stopped and the other began.From the rea

MAFIA’S WILD OBSESSION CHAPTER 17: BUMBLING IDIOT
CHRISTIAN’S POV:I leaned closer, languidly meeting her gaze through darkened ones. Confusion ran deep in her eyes as she tried to piece together my next move. I leaned even closer and before she could back away, I snatched her waist, holding her down against my body. Her eyes grew wide.She opened her mouth in an attempt to protest and I smirked, but right before she could get any words out, a chaotic thud jerked both our attention to the corner it came from. A bumbling idiot had fallen right into the room, knocking down an entire column of mannequins.Christ.Cherry was fast behind him, click-fucking-clack, as she immediately pulled the man – scratch that, the boy to his feet. With the suspenders and glasses twice his fit, my guess was that he escaped adult daycare.From the new distraction, Angel slipped out of my grip and left that bloody distance between us again. Irritation scratched my surface but rather than act on it, I forced my gaze back to the two people that were now
