MY LECTURER, MY LOVER, MY MAFIA RIVAL CHAPTER 48: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HE BEARS THE BRUNT
DiegoThat child held Marianna in place, that child was her future, her hope, her life. And now he is gone. I sat beside her after I laid him to rest, at the back of Rosco's home. Rosco wouldn't have minded.She looked peaceful as she slept, smiling occasionally in her sleep. I wondered what she was seeing.I held her hands together in mine, seeing how much trouble she had gone through.She stirred in her sleep and her eyes went open. “Princess, you are awake.”I helped her rest her head to the headboard and she winced in pain. It was very early in the morning, I didn't get a single sleep the night before. Also, that was the longest she had gone.I passed her a painkiller and a glass of water, without hesitation, she gulped it down her throat.The look in her eyes might have half of the world's sadness in them. “Where is he?”“I laid him to rest, you shouldn't see it. You shouldn't see your child's corpse, it's not a good thing.”She choked on her sob gently, letting the tears fall on
MY LECTURER, MY LOVER, MY MAFIA RIVAL CHAPTER 49: DISAPPERANCE OF MARIANNA
AlceoThe drive from the airport was quite a tedious one. Aleksi was the one who accompanied me on my journey. The sudden reason why I had to go negotiate with my father's business partners was eye raising. But it was necessary. They were starting to think that since Isiak Romanov was dead, his protege was unable to carry on his legacy.The gates opened and I drove through. From the window, I could see Uri, Nina and the guards standing, welcoming me.“How was the journey, brother?” Uri came closer, with his hands wide open.“Quite tedious but very good. At least, I'm home now,” I smiled, returning his hug.Nina came up to me, all dressed up. She had a light makeover on her face, her hair was packed into a bun and a simple beautiful gown on her. No doubt, she was beautiful, and I couldn't help but compliment her.“You look beautiful Nina Czar,” I held the back of her hand and kissed it, without breaking the eye connection. Her cheeks suddenly assumed the color of red tomato and I could
MY LECTURER, MY LOVER, MY MAFIA RIVAL CHAPTER 50: ROPED BY MY BROTHER AND SUPPOSED FIANCÉ
AlceoI desperately kept my anger in check, I needed to let it out at the right time. I calmed myself down in the sitting room, steadying my breath and taking my time.I signaled for one of the guards stationed in the sitting room. “Go upstairs, knock on each door and call me everyone including Aleksi.”“Yes Master,” he bowed and walked away.I awaited the whining and mouth running of Uri but if I ever found out that he had something to do with Marianna's disappearance, my father would worry if he did the right thing by dying now.Aleksi walked in first with a tired, sleepy face. It wasn't nice of me to ask him to be woken up but whatever was going to happen, he needed to see it and be present. Seeing my current state, he chose not to say any word, he knew me too well.The rest filled in one by one, with Uri being the last person. His eyes were red and swollen, and he dragged his feet from the top of the stairs right to the sitting room.“Why would you ask him to wake me up? Can't you
MY LECTURER, MY LOVER, MY MAFIA RIVAL CHAPTER 51: SEARCHING FOR MARIANNA
AlceoIt's been close to a week, finding Marianna had proven more difficult than I expected. I was neither sleeping well nor eating well. Dark eye bags, almost competing with the black color itself, sought refuge under my eyes. Day after day, the food brought in was replaced without me touching them.The curtains in my room refused to go up, I had no idea where she was or what she was going through. All I could do was punish myself in my own little way.I sat on the bed, drowned in my own misery. A recurring knock forced me back to the surface. Not giving a response, I laid back and ignored whoever it was.The door opened. “God of heavens, open the fucking curtains Alceo.”“Don't Aleksi, let it be the way it is,” my voice was gruff and scary. It sounded like a scratched cassette.The bed deepened due to his weight. “What about we turn the lights on?”He took my silence for a no and went ahead. I braced myself for the impact, shutting my eyes for that moment.“You haven't been eating,
MY LECTURER, MY LOVER, MY MAFIA RIVAL CHAPTER 52: DIEGO'S CONFESSION AND DEATH
Marianna With a scarf around my shoulders, I waited patiently outside for Diego. It was going to be early in the morning and I couldn't help but worry about his whereabouts. He always came home early, the latest by 10pm but today was different. It held an unsettling feeling. The air was stoic and I could feel my heart in my mouth. Something didn't feel right, but then I tried to calm myself, believing that it was because of my recent loss.Diego made sure I laughed and played around the house. For days, he refused to leave me all by myself and gradually I was recovering. Today was the first time in a long while since he stepped out, that was even after so much cajoling that I was fine.“Maybe I shouldn't have forced him out,” I said, as my worry raised a bar.I was beginning to doze off from where I sat when I heard a loud bang. I froze at my spot thinking about what was happening. Was someone trying to break in?The gate kept giving out a loud creak, groans and whimpers followed sui
MY LECTURER, MY LOVER, MY MAFIA RIVAL CHAPTER 53: REFUSING TO RUN
MariannaThe light streaming in from the open window shone directly on my face, waking me up in the process. I wanted to believe that whatever happened last night was a dream but the pain on my butt disregarded everything. I looked to my side and saw Diego's stiff body. My fingers were still interlocked with his white hands.My mind was void of what I should do, no strength, no anger—at least not so early. All that coursed through my vein was pain. I was in so much pain.The entire situation from last night made me forget to properly lock up the house.The door pushed open at once. There was no strength to stand or try to run and hide. I believed whoever it was, was here to finish the last line of the Santo's bloodline.“So it's true?” The voice made me turn, it was Rosco. He looked like he ran from wherever he was, sweat drenched his body and he looked disorganized. He was still in his pajamas, the news must have forced him away.He came closer, reducing his height to my level.“Mar
MY LECTURER, MY LOVER, MY MAFIA RIVAL CHAPTER 54: SHOWING MY FACE TO THE HOUSE
MariannaDays after Diego's death, I spent the rest of the days working out, building my confidence and aim. Sharpening the blunt skills taught to me by my father. I would wake up very early in the morning and take a long walk or even a jog around. I could feel the heaviness of my breast wearing away.Every exercise I needed to do was done in the house. With every pain I was going through, the hatred for the Russians and Javier kept fueling. If I dared try to stop, the last image of Cael and Diego would force me back to work. My baby was denied the pleasure of living his actual life.I cleared the room, arranged my clothes and wore a facecap over my head. The phone given to me by Rosco was sitting on the center table. I grabbed it at once and dialed the special code that would request for an emergency meeting with the elders. It was going to be shown as an unregistered device over their end but the curiosity of who it could be would force everyone down to the house; including Javier.
MY LECTURER, MY LOVER, MY MAFIA RIVAL CHAPTER 55: A RUSE WITH MY FATHER
JavierThe show playing on the TV didn't make me recognize that someone else was inside with me.“So this is all you use your time and power to do?” I turned back to the familiar voice and muted the TV.“Hello father, what do you want?” I said so casually.He motioned forward, wearing a stupid smile on his face. “Can I at least sit?”“Please help yourself,” I signaled him.I called for one of the guards, asking him to bring a glass of water for my father.“Didn't you get the emergency message that came in earlier today?”“I did,” I shrugged my shoulders and relaxed in my chair. “I just chose to not attend. Who dares summon the lord of the Italian mafia like a dog?”“It was your wife, Marianna,” he said with a lingering smile on the corner of his lips and instantly, I met his gaze properly.By now, I sat properly. “Which Marianna? Marianna came to the house? Are you sure about what you are saying?”Unfazed, my father gulped down the glass of water brought to him. “Do I look like I'm jo
