"Yeah," he calmly replied."The first day at the school parking lot," I chipped in."No, it wasn't the first day we met; don't you remember me from somewhere?" he asked."No, I don't," confusion written all over me,"What game is he playing this time around?" I asked myself."We met for the first time on January 6th; don't you remember?" he said."6th of January," I repeated, wondering why the date sounded so familiar. I was about to ask him about the date when it hit me."That date, how do you know it?" I inquired."Why, do you remember me now?" he curiously asked."Not really," I replied. I could sense the disappointment in his voice when he let out a sigh."I know it was your mom's death anniversary the day we met," he said to me. I was wondering just how far he researched on me; I don't remember telling anyone about my mom's death anniversary. I find myself wanting to be all alone each time it's my mom's death anniversary."How on earth do you know that? Have you been watching me

I was tired of these secrets, and I think it was time I told him the truth. I can't continue to keep this a secret from him.Mace looked at me a bit puzzled and with a piercing look to ascertain what was wrong with my facial expressions. I wrapped my hands around his arm, and we went over to sit on a stone in the corner."Can't we do this at home, Amorino?" he queried me, still confused by my disposition."We should do it here," I quickly replied. I just wanted to get it off my chest already.I cleared my throat a little; I didn't know how to put it or where to begin my story. I just didn't want him to get angry, but from every indication, it was inevitable."Amorino, you're scaring me with this whole drama.""I thought you didn't get scared at all." I teased him"I don't get scared, Amorino, but when it gets to you, I'm scared as hell. You're my weakness, my undoing, Amorino." He caressed my cheeks gently.Tears began forming in my eyes when I heard him call me that. I didn't mean to

My scream echoed in the whole house. He stopped abruptly, he turned back to see me placing a hand on my tummy, and ran frantically towards me."Did I hurt you, Amorino?" he asked anxiously, holding me by the waist. I didn't say anything but kept on faking pain."We should go to the hospital," he suggested, holding me tightly. I still didn't say a word to him but turned to the stairs. I took his hands off my waist and tried walking away. I climbed the first and second staircases. Stole a glance at him, only to find him standing at the bottom of the stairs and not moving with me. I acted as though I was about to fall, and he caught me. He hoisted me up in his arms and led me to the room. I wrapped my hands around his neck, burying my face in his chest while smiling, his cologne driving me nuts, reminding me of how much I missed him."Amorino, let's go see a doctor," he said again, searching my face for a reply. I quickly told him that I just wanted to rest in the room for a while."You

It's been 2 months after his pact with Kierian, Mace assigned the training of his men to Ray, and he has been preparing the men for D-Day, or more like the apocalypse, with each day scaring the shit out of me. Mace spent a lot of time with Kieran in secrecy. I was surprised he only spent time with Kieran, with no one else knowing about it.I wanted to know why he did not inform his trusted men of the secret Kierian had told him and why he hid it all from them. He told me that there was a mole among his men. I nearly screamed my head off when he talked about the mole. I was glad Kierian told him all he needed to know about who was working for Francesco. I became curious, asking who the mole was, but he told me not to let it bother me.I wish I had taken that advice because I couldn't sleep the rest of the night. I couldn't imagine Ricci planting one of his men in the Hunter's cartel.I have been having difficulty sleeping these days; the thought of a spy watching my every move and repo

I opened my eyes the next morning, feeling pain all over my body. I turned to see Mace lying on his side while watching me. He smiled at me before kissing my forehead."Good morning," he said.I smiled, covering my face with the covers. "How long have you been watching me sleep?" I asked timidly."Not long enough," he replied, caressing my baby bump."How is my baby?" he asked, bending down to kiss my bump, The baby replied with a kick. I don't know, but for some odd reason, he sure knows his father's touch."Oh my god!" I screamed, laughing."He kicked?" I nodded in reply, took his hands, and placed them back on my tummy.He caressed it a bit. "Daddy can't wait to carry you in his arms, peanut," he whispered.As if he could hear, he responded with yet another kick, and Mace's face lit up in a smile.We were still talking about peanut kicks whenHis phone rang, cutting his father-child bond midway. He got up from the bed in search of his phone, picked it up, and after a few minutes, t

I opened it, and it was a picture of Fran
MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Sixty-Nine
MACE'S POVI woke up the next morning to the beeping sound of my phone. I checked the time, and it was 5 a.m. I pulled my fingers that had been buried under my pillow out and got off the bed to prepare. I had some scores to settle this morning. It was time to rain blood on Ricci and his minions. I warned that fool that I might be my father's son, but I'm not my father. I was already prepared to leave, but I was checking out my outfit when Ray called to inform me that he was downstairs.I turned to the bed to find Amorino still soundly asleep. I didn't want to wake her, so I wrote a note on a piece of paper and placed it on the bedside table where she could easily find it before leaving. I came downstairs to see Ray sitting comfortably while munching the last bite of the cornflakes on his plate."Making yourself at home," I asked him."What can I do?" he replied, wearing a smirk."Besides, I need all the strength I could get, you know."I wasn't ready f
MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Seventy
MACE'S POVI was still at the study sipping a glass of whiskey while Dad had his face buried in a piece of paper he was holding. I didn't bother checking what he was reading because I had a lot on my mind.I couldn't get the thoughts of Amorino off my mind. I was missing her badly. The picture of her sleeping soundly in her lingerie kept playing in my head. This is the first time she is sleeping outside the house after we got back together. I was fighting the urge to go get her. I knew I couldn't bring her home just yet, not when the baby could pop out any day from now. I can't give her the attention she needs right now, and besides, Francesco won't go easy on her if he ever finds her.I need to put an end to this shit as fast as possible. I was still lost in thought when Ray called me. I looked up to see Kieran standing next to Ray."You're here," I said, looking at Kieran. He nodded."I heard how things went in Italy," he said.I smirked, pointing at
