Mafia High CHAPTER 31
AlessandroI left Gia’s late in the afternoon after she assured me she wouldn’t leave her room. I’d swiped the card Mr. Xavier gave her after entering it on her phone when she wasn’t watching. I had some business with him.I made the call from my room.He wasn’t happy, but then again, neither was I. I knew I was playing with fire but I didn’t care. Matteo Romano had retribution coming. It wasn’t an easy argument to win.“I’ll see what I can do, Mr. Brambilla. If it happens, I will not interfere no matter the outcome.”“I’d prefer it that way,” I told him.The call ended. I would bide my time. I owed Mr. Rossi a debt I would never pay. Romano would not get that lucky.Monday morning, I waited for Gia outside her dorm. Before I left mine, I’d texted her, letting her know I would be waiting, then left my phone and headed out. She would not walk alone, and I would stay by her side until Maria was back.Students watched us and whispered. Gia’s back went straighter and I saw the subtle chan
Mafia High CHAPTER 32
GiaMaria returned on Wednesday, one day before the challenge, though it wasn’t really a challenge because Matteo would not return even if he somehow managed to win. My fear was Alessandro would kill him. Mr. Xavier wouldn’t allow it or so I assured myself.Maria looked like hell. The top half of her face was so badly bruised, it wasn’t black eyes because it all blended with her nose and cheeks making her features hard to define. They had to put a plate in her cheek, but that scar was at the hairline. Three fingers of her left hand were broken and were in splints, and her wrist was in a removable brace. It wasn’t broken but there was some ligament damage that had also required surgery. Most of the swelling had gone down in all locations or so she assured me. I couldn’t imagine what she looked like before coming back to campus.“Che palle,” she said once she rested back against the couch. “I’m exhausted.” She pulled one of the small couch pillows closer and used it to help prop herself
Mafia High CHAPTER 33
AlessandroSchool sucked without Gia. The guys teased me about being a pussy while I mentally prepared for the fight that night. Beating down Matteo’s ass shouldn’t be hard but I wasn’t stupid and wouldn’t drop my guard. I wanted to kill him; school rules be damned.Without Gia, the day dragged by. Marino acted strange and I wasn’t sure what was going on in his head. He had a secret and it was starting to piss me off that he hadn’t shared.After school I called Gia but the call was short. There was a physical therapist with Maria, and Gia was learning what needed to be done. After the conversation, I had time to think.My future seemed jumbled. I’d known my role in the family since birth. My mother was everything to me when she died. My father frowned upon her coddling me sometimes, but he really didn’t interfere. I had a mean streak which he finessed. Marino’s father did the same with both of us. An eye for an eye. I was raised that way, and then my mother died.I still don’t underst
Mafia High CHAPTER 34
AlessandroWe returned to our crews and a few minutes later, Xavier called the start of the fight. There was no messing around this time. I didn’t need his fucking reach. I wished I could say there was really a fight. There wasn’t.I dodged his fist and mine connected with the first punch thrown. Within sixty seconds, I had Matteo on his back. Within another sixty seconds, Xavier stopped me from killing him.I didn’t recognize his face when I came out of my frenzy and saw him beneath me. Xavier helped me up and walked me a few feet away. Matteo’s dad went to him. My father moved closer to Matteo’s dad and they looked at each other. Matteo’s dad nodded and so did mine.It was over. Whatever shame Matteo had caused was his family’s responsibility now.Gia came up to me and I hooked my arm around her.“Mr. Rossi, his wife, and I will be waiting in your dorm for you.” My father said after approaching from my other side.He walked away and I didn’t see Gia’s parents any longer when I looke
Mafia High CHAPTER 35
GiaAlessandro and I crashed in his room and didn’t come out even when Marino and the crew arrived. We needed time to ourselves. Maria, Stephie, and some of her crew were with them. We’d been notified by text and San told Marino we would be absent. No one disturbed us.“It’s sad,” I said aloud once we were settled. “I’m so sorry.”“Why are you sorry? The entire situation is fucked up, but their choices had nothing to do with us.”“They had everything to do with us,” she said stubbornly. “Maria’s father and mother had her at the same time I was born. Marino’s parents the same. It was all set up. It’s your father I feel the worst for. Has he ever loved a woman?”“He had affairs on my mom and I discovered it early on. I hated him for it, and then she died. I didn’t understand and I considered him weak when he didn’t go after your father.”She hugged me tighter.“Are you going to tell Marino?” she finally asked.“No. It stays with us. The secrecy behind it all is something we can’t fuck w
Mafia High CHAPTER 36
AlessandroThere were bumps in the road. With Laterza backing down and his crew stepping up behind me, there were no further challenges. Kicking Matteo’s ass so decisively helped too. I’d cemented my reputation and proven how dangerous I truly was.We still had schoolwork and other drama happening around the academy.Stephie and her crew joined ours along with Maria who made it official when she started dating Andre.Mr. Caleb’s class became interesting. For a quiet man, even I admitted he was badass. As the year passed quickly, I began dreading graduation and what would happen between me and Gia. We were young and in love. We were not ready for marriage. Gia came up with the plan and with Marino and Maria’s help, we put it into action. Stephie and Andre were included if their parents came on board.The seniors had an assembly two hours before graduation and were told to come to the gym with our laptops fully charged. It was strange but many things over the four years were, and we wen
Mafia High CHAPTER 37
GiaIt was a strange new world.I had the most amazing sense of freedom. My mother gave me more.“Your father’s blood runs through your veins but never forget mine does too. You have choices to make you can only do as a woman. I stayed with your father through the worst times. I loved him during the best. That doesn’t matter in your life and what does matter is that you know I’m my own woman. Your father paid dearly when Alessandro’s mother died. He’s never forgiven himself. He’s a good man and I knew that when he married me because of his honesty.”It was a side I’d never seen from either of my parents. Compassion was frowned upon in our lives but now I knew it had always been there.My bond with my mother and father was stronger than it had ever been. I was proud to be a Rossi.Alessandro left with his parents, and I texted Maria that the coast was clear.There were many things I couldn’t share with her but she didn’t ask because she knew. I looked around our dorm that we’d finally

Mafia High CHAPTER 110
This is a bonus chapter for the Mafia Academy and I promise you want to read it. While I have you, I need to thank you for reading about these three amazing couples. If you continued this far, I'm sure they are as special to you as they are to me. For Mr. Xavier's complete story and how he found himself at Rochester, you’ll want to read Hotter Than Hell available on GoodNovel. Xavier is the head of the desert crime syndicate when Madison enters his world. One day, I plan to write about his children. *** Twelve years later Mr. Xavier The room, located at the top of the high-rise building far from Rochester, simply had the initials R.A. etched in glass on the double doors. There was an outer office and an inner conference room with a large antique table that filled the oversized space. I looked around the empty room, walked to the head of the table, and pulled out a chair. Men and women entered, nodded, and took their seats. Mr. Caleb and Miss Bianchi were the last to walk in. Mr. C

GabrielHer body had changed and I couldn’t believe I hadn’t noticed. Her ass was definitely bigger but sometimes I was smart and knew when to keep my mouth shut. I, however, loved her ass.We decided to keep the baby news to ourselves for Isabella’s sake too. It was for nothing. School gossip ran rampant the next day because Isabella had already left. I sent her a text with Rosa beside me to make sure she was okay.“I just touched down in Italy. I’m good. I know you and Rosa are together. Congratulations.”My asshole behavior with Isabella was at an end.“Be happy.”“I will.”“Maybe someday you will be friends,” Rosa said.“Maybe someday we won’t. There is too much water under that bridge.”“She did a good thing.”“She did. I would have married you anyway so she isn’t entirely off the hook.”“Are you going to tell your father he lost the bet?”“Hell no. I’m not letting Isabella’s father win.”She laughed and I hugged her to me, unable to get enough. I couldn’t keep my hands off the b

RosaIt was the truth. I would always be the sidepiece. I could also say with all honesty that I was glad I went for it. Gabriel was mine for a short time and I would never forget it.“He does love you enough. You won’t give him the chance to prove it.”“If I told him and he married Isabella—which is what will happen—it will kill me. It’s better like this.”She simply made a sound in her throat that let me know I was full of shit.“Come on,” she said and placed her arm back around my shoulders. “Let’s get the little mommy to her bed so she can sleep.” “I hate you.”“I’m going to be the worst aunt imaginable. If your son or daughter isn’t a hellraiser right out of the gate, I’ll do the training.”“I love you, mi amica,” I told her.“I know.”****I made it to the last week of school. I’d passed my finals easily. This was the fun time for seniors. I wasn’t drinking but there was a party every night and the alcohol flowed. It was Sunday and I had everything ready for the next morning. T
Mafia High CHAPTER 107
GabrielI made it through the week with busted knuckles from putting my fist through a wall. Everything else was sore from working out at the gym for hours on end. The crew returned Friday. I hadn’t heard from Rosa. I didn’t stop texting.“It doesn’t make sense,” Brando said.It didn’t. I’d heard nothing from Rosa or her sister. I wasn’t sure when they were returning. If they didn’t come back, and that worried me most, I would go after her. This was bullshit.I was in my room Saturday evening when there was a soft knock on my door. I threw it open and Rosa stood there. I knew from the look on her face, I wouldn’t like what she had to say. I spoke first.“Do not fucking do this. We have more time.”She looked down and my heart fell to my stomach.“We can’t, Gabriel; you’re marrying Isabella. It’s not fair to her or to you.”“No.”“Gabriel, you don’t have a choice. This is too hard for me. I can’t take it anymore. I told you I wouldn’t be the other woman and I meant it. Don’t make this
Mafia High CHAPTER 106
Rosa“You won’t say that after the first week. It’s a nightmare and several families have been hit with ransomware. The sooner you take things over, the sooner I can get Dante off my back and work on the project he wants done.”My lips trembled when I smiled.“What are you going to do about school? You have your credits and I’m sure they will work with you and give you a diploma.”“I’m going back to Rochester and finishing my senior year. It’s the only way this will work.”“Explain,” he said through tight lips.“Gabriel can’t know about the baby. I haven’t completely thought this through yet, but I shouldn’t be showing too much by graduation and should be able to pull it off.”“You think Gabriel won’t know?” he asked and I knew from the uncomfortable look in his eyes, exactly what he was saying and I blushed.“I will break up with him as soon as I return to school. It was coming anyway.” I wiped more tears away. “I’d decided I wasn’t staying with him after graduation because it would
Mafia High CHAPTER 105
RosaI told my mother while Chaney and Donya left to buy a pregnancy test. My mom’s arms were exactly what I needed.“Shh, mia cara,” she whispered.“I love him. I want to have his babies. I want to spend the rest of my life with him,” I cried angrily. “This isn’t fair.”“Life is not fair, mia cara.”The pregnancy test was positive. And the next one and the next. I kept staring at the two lines.My sister’s expression was pure freak-out. Chaney’s slightly better. My mother was the calmest of all of us and I knew she had to be so disappointed. We hadn’t used protection on the rooftop that day. I’d never gone on the pill. I’d messed this entire thing up completely.I looked at my mother with tears running down my face. “He will do his duty to his family and marry Isabella. He can never know. If you’ll allow me to live here, I’ll raise the baby on my own.”My mother, who rarely swore, let out the most foul word I’d ever heard her use.“You are my daughter and my home will always be your

Gabriel My grades improved with Rosa’s help. How could they not? While my arm was still in a brace, she’d done all my homework. She asked me the answers but for the most part I sexually teased her while studying because that was more fun.We had a week of spring break coming up, and then everyone would concentrate on graduation. I wasn’t looking forward to any of it. Well, maybe the break. Rosa and her sister’s crew were joining mine in Cabo. We were spending the weekend with our families and then meeting at the resort.This was our last mad dash of senior life. I had no fucking idea what Isabella was doing over the break and I didn’t care. I simply wanted to spend time with Rosa.I wrapped my arm around her Friday before she left for her parents’ home.“I’ll see you Monday. I have a big surprise just for you.”She swatted my arm at my ridiculous devilish grin.I only had to get through the weekend with my parents, and then we would have the best week of our lives.****Rosa“Come on
Mafia High CHAPTER 103
RosaShe got it all out without a word from me. I stood in shock which was stupid. Isabella was a devious bitch. She’d been quiet for too long.“Fuck off,” I said and continued walking.My thoughts were everywhere. I didn’t think Gabriel slept with her but he had not told me about the house or property. If he’d kept that from me, had he lied about sleeping with her? I bypassed my sister’s building and went to the roof. I hadn’t been up here in a long time and it made me sad to see what it was like before I moved into Gabriel’s dorm. It was a pathetic life. I pulled back the tarp, sat down on my pillows, and cried.I’m unsure why Isabella’s declaration hit so hard. I always knew she would get Gabriel in the end. He wouldn’t lie to me or at least I didn’t think he would. But wasn’t that what the guys did? They lied to their wives and they lied to their mistresses. I would have the second role if I took it and I wouldn’t. Not because I wouldn’t do everything I could to be with Gabriel bu

RosaThe car pulled up to campus and my heart raced. Gabriel was waiting for me at his dorm.“Rosa, I would like a private word,” my brother said.My sister rolled her eyes, told him goodbye, and got out of the car with her bag. She walked away knowing I was in for another lecture.“Think hard on this,” Caine said. “I’m not stupid. I know you think you love him.”I held up my hand. “I don’t think anything of the sort. I love him.”“Fuck, Rosa. You’re smarter than this.”“I know what will happen. I know it will break my heart. I haven’t had a boyfriend the entire time I’ve been at Rochester because I only saw one boy and he was taken. For now, he’s mine and I will keep him for as long as I can.”“I love you, sis.”I heard the defeat in his voice.“I love you too and I’ll need a big shoulder to cry on much too soon. I’d like it to be yours.”“My shoulder will always be yours,” he said softly.I got out of the car and didn’t look back. Gabriel was waiting.His room was dark when I opened
