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
MariannaI couldn't help but wonder if I did the right thing by showing my face to the house. Inasmuch as I knew he wasn't around, word would have definitely gotten to him about me coming. My window was slightly open and I couldn't find sleep. I kept tossing and turning, hoping to find a comfortable spot to drift off. The night breeze was magical, it should have been enough to get me to sleep but I'm pretty sure it's wondering why I'm immune to its spell.A rattle from the living room had me sit up at once on the bed properly. I reached for the gun given to me by Rosco and carefully got out of bed. I gently opened the door, allowing me to see what was going on in the main room.“Check all the rooms, make sure you find her,” I heard the one who seemed to be the leader say.“Javier,” I muttered under my breath and grated my teeths together. From where I stood, I could see each man taking a room and some standing where I couldn't make them out completely. As one walked towards my direc
AlceoHer breathing was frantic, she was desperately holding herself back from losing it. I could see it, I could see her. Irrespective of how many stupid mistakes I had made, I still knew her. The few days away from the house gave me enough time to have a rethink about us. That made me realize how much I still loved her.I sat outside her doorstep, promising myself not to go anywhere until she gives me a chance to explain myself.My mind raced back to her last question. Did I lead them there? Hell why would I do that?I was just lucky to be where I was at that time. I noticed some unusual gathering beside the table I sat to eat. My beards were full and I was back to looking unkempt and dirty, I guess that was why I couldn't be recognized so easily.My ears happened to catch a few words like Javier, the Italian, Santo's daughter. Right there, I knew that was my ticket to finding Marianna. I had spent so many days on the streets with no lead. It's like she went off the radar. All I did
Trigger warning ⚠️: reader's discretion is adviced🙏🏼AlceoWhen I returned home, everyone looked at me like I had developed 2 heads. I quickly walked away and had myself tended to, back to the beautiful looking Alceo that I know.The knock on my door dragged my attention from the clothes I was looking for.“Come in,” I answered, going back to my previous position.The door squeaked open and I peeped from where I stood. Unbelievable, it was Nina.“Well well well, who do we have here?”“Hi Alceo, I–”I cut in so fast, the privilege she once had was over. I'm stripping her off it. “To you I'm Master Alceo, not Alceo, or Al. If you do not wish for your head to be on a stake, do as I say.”She inhaled a bowl of air as courage. Just in time, I saw the pair of shorts I was looking for. I reached out for the black pair of gloves that was sitting idle on my cupboard.“What do you need that for?” She asked with fear, lacing every word coming out of her mouth. Knowing exactly what it meant whe
MariannaSince Alceo left that morning, I couldn't help but wonder where he was. What he left to do without saying anything to me. Maybe Diego was right, I didn't stop loving Alceo, I just shut that part away from me and transferred every love I had into Cael.A knock forced me out of my reverie, I reached for the gun first and tiptoed to the door.My eyes went to the wall clock, it was 5 minutes past 10pm. I cocked the gun and held it beside my head.“Marianna it's me,” I heard his voice and I hurriedly put the gun away.I unlocked the gun and he walked in with a bag beside him. He had changed his look and taken care of his messy face. I rushed into his arms, hugging him tightly.He was caught unaware, so it took some time for him to wrap his arms around me.“I was so worried, I thought something had happened to you,” I quickly cautioned myself and disengaged from the heart-warming hug.“I got something for you,” he said, dropping the bag beside me.“What is this?”He dipped his hand
AlceoShe caught me unaware by running back into my arms and kissing me unaware. I had always wanted to do that but I was scared if she was free with me yet. I'm glad she did it first, thoughI was ready to wait till we were very cool.I pushed my tongue into her mouth as we both fought for dominance. Wrapping my hands around her waist, I lifted her off the floor and carried her. Her legs were wrapped around me firmly as I used my hand to find the nearest room.I lowered her to the bed without breaking the kiss, her hands fumbled with my trousers pulling it off hurriedly. I helped her with her trousers and as we broke the kiss to pull off our top, our eyes locked. Lust and desire filled them, we were desperate to have each other. Our breathing was harsh and loud, like we had been soaked underwater for hours.“Are you sure you want us to do this pretty? Are you sure you won't hate me after now?”I needed to be sure, I wasn't ready for her fit after our session. She replied to me with a
MariannaThe smell of freshly made tacos had me stir from my sleep. I swung my hand at the other side of the bed, looking for the man that we made love over and over the night before. Feeling the empty space, I reached for Rosco's polo which was big enough for me to be called a gown.I rubbed my eyes and dragged my feet towards the smell of the food. His rigid beautiful brown skinned bag welcomed me, I took my time admiring him. His upper body was naked, while his lower body was clothed in the shorts he wore from the day before.He swayed his hips gently as he tended to the food, singing out from the headset in his ears. I laughed and went ahead hugging him from behind.“Morning love,” he said, removing the air pods in his ears and turning around. “Did you sleep well?”“Hmmm hmmm,” I nodded and rested my head in his chest.“I made breakfast, it's almost done. I'll serve it soon,” he said, turning the cooker off. “Sit моя любовь.”I ruffled my nose at the name he just called me. I had
AlceoMy relationship with Marianna had gone back to normal, the first phase of our lives; where all we had to do was plan our lives and play and have sex. I had gone home a few times to pick up some of my things, like my credit cards and clothes. Money wasn't a problem in any way, she had me and she had Rosco; both of us were more than enough for her. He made sure to drop by the house at least twice a week to make sure Marianna was okay. He still didn't trust me with her and I couldn't blame him for that; knowing the feud between our families, it was normal he behaved like that.My ringing tone jolted me out of our lovey-dovey, the caller ID on the screen was Aleksi. I silenced the phone and went back to her. It was what we had always wanted, a life where killings weren't involved.The call came in again, she stood up this time and looked at it. “You should pick that up? I'm pretty sure that they are worried sick about where you are.”I picked the call and excused myself to the corne
