Mafia High CHAPTER 44
ChaneyDante gave me a long stare, seeing too much, damn it.“My crew leads the pack. The crews are our support system.”Dante’s eyes and voice turned lazy when he spoke to me but I could see his brain ticking away. I still didn’t have the answers I needed.“But how does that take place? Who establishes this hierarchy?”“You fight for it.”“Fight?”“With fists.”“What about Stella? How did she get her place?”Dante’s eyes traveled to the person in question who was still in line for coffee. He then gave me his full attention. Megan spoke before he did.“She bullied her way into it and kept her harassment confined to the freshmen and sophomores. She tangled with a junior here and there and it will be worse this year. The girls are terrified of her.”Dante now glared at Roland.“Don’t keep your mouth shut next time,” he ground out.Roland gave him a nod and it solidified the authority Dante had. I still needed answers.“So, you just walk up and punch someone to prove you’re at the top?”

Dante“She’s hot as hell, I’ll give you that, but who the fuck is she?” Caine asked on our way back to the dorm.“Don’t fucking know but she’s in danger and was dropped here.”“That doesn’t make sense. Does she even belong to a family? Her last name’s Smith.”“No, it isn’t,” I told him. “She’s hardwired to Xavier for some strange reason and he’s behind this which means it’s nothing good.”“And she’s hot.”I smiled.“There is that.”We stepped into our dorm suite, boxes and shit everywhere, and Caine landed his lazy ass on the couch.“I’ll throw all your crap in your room or you’ll get up and help, you piece of shit.”“You need to get laid, asshole. I have an escort service on speed dial. We can hook you up with someone with curly hair. That will take the edge off.”Caine disappeared at odd times, but I knew he wasn’t going to escorts. Okay, it probably happened a time or two but that was Caine. He was into some weird-ass shit. When he left school grounds, he hung with the geeks who ha
Mafia High CHAPTER 46
ChaneyDante Laterza literally made my hands shake. I kept them in my arms, tucked over my chest so no one saw. The campus was crowded with underclassmen still moving in. For the most part they ignored me, though I did get a few curious glances.I made it into the dorm and turned around with my back against it after I locked it. I thought at any second Dante would grab me. His handiness should piss me off and it did, but it also did weird things to my belly and I didn’t like it.Dante had looked like shit this morning with red eyes and messy hair. I still wanted him. His six-pack abs threw me because I had to keep my fingers from trailing over each swell of muscle. I’d had crushes but those were confined to television or movies. Lorenzo Richelmy came to mind and I’d watched every second of Marco Polo simply to drool. His dark good looks were fucking hot and he still had nothing on Dante Laterza.“Is there a reason you look like you’re running from someone?” Megan asked after she walke
Mafia High CHAPTER 47
DanteCaine returned at noon. He didn’t look like he drank everyone under the table but he had. He also didn’t look happy.He slammed his computer bag onto the chair across from the couch.“Not a fucking scrap. No Chaney Smith, no Chaney. No nothing. She’s a ghost.”“How could she be a ghost? She’s like seventeen or eighteen. She has a past.”Caine was furious and I was more so.The knock at the door had me throwing it open again and hoping it was the secretive freak without a past on the other side.Fuck. My. Life.It was Xavier.He walked inside and I closed the door behind him. I was sure this wasn’t a visit I needed anyone else to hear. He casually sat on the couch and there was nothing casual about the man but he pulled it off.Caine’s eyes were larger than I’d ever seen.“Have a seat, Mr. Laterza.”The voice held no room for argument. I was not accustomed to anyone ordering me around.My ass sat.“I had this conversation with your roommate four years ago and didn’t think it need
Mafia High CHAPTER 48
DanteThe rest of the crew slowly arrived and we razzed about our hangovers and the classes we were actually excited for this year. Rumors of years past were in short supply on campus but we all knew our classes senior year fell more in line with what we would be doing after graduation.“Roland. Find your sister between first and second period and get me Chaney’s schedule. What?” I asked when they all stopped talking and stared at me.“He’s got it bad for her pussy and we need him on his game. Give him a break, guys.”Caine thought he was coming to my rescue but it wasn’t true. I didn’t give a fuck what the guys thought about my interest in Chaney. I’d made that clear when I held her hand. Fuck. My dick stiffened just thinking about touching her fucking hand. I needed an intervention.“Get the information, Roland.”“Got your back,” he said.We checked each other’s schedules that had come through in emails last night. We had at least one class with each other and several had a majority
Mafia High CHAPTER 49
ChaneyHe kissed me. I hadn’t told Megan but I’d never been kissed either. That was too pathetically sad to pass on. She’d given me the rundown on blow jobs the night before. We’d laughed in my bed until midnight with her stories. She loved to watch guys’ faces and had a very enlightening and articulate rendition on how they looked and the sounds they made. I had to finally beg her to stop because my jaw hurt from laughing. Of course, that caused more laughter.“Romeo actually hiccupped when he was coming. I kid you not. I gave him three blowies over a week and it happened every time.”“Stop, you’re killing me,” I begged.“No, really, and Dennis Francesco’s dick is deformed, poor guy. I gave him a mercy blow because I’d heard about it from one of the girls and wanted to see for myself.”“You said you didn’t bring guys back to your room.” I accused, tears rolling down my face by this point.“Never. That was my old roommate. That doesn’t mean I was a good girl like you. I just wasn’t as
Mafia High CHAPTER 50
ChaneyShe sighed and gave a slight laugh due to my need for answers about him.“He fought his way to the top sophomore year. I think we had a fight once a week back then. One of the fights didn’t end with the ass-kicking Dante gave him and it turned into a crew battle. Several students were taken away in ambulances. That was the first fight Dante went into lockdown for. It solidified him at the top, though, so I doubt he minded.”“Explain lockdown.”“Sucks. No phone or internet and confined to your dorm. If you leave the dorm, you are removed from campus. No exceptions.”“What about girls?”She shrugged and I could tell she didn’t want to say more.“Please?” I begged.“He’s never had a girlfriend. He sees a girl he wants, he approaches her, and they leave. He doesn’t brag about it. Well, maybe to his friends but my brother keeps his mouth shut on crew shit. The girls know he’s after a quickie and they give it to him. He’s been seen leaving dorms early in the morning so it isn’t just
Mafia High CHAPTER 51
Chaney“Thank you for not reminding me I’m getting my ass kicked and will be in pain for a few days.”“I seriously doubt you need that reminder.” His smile was just for me where we stood in the shadows.Megan hurried closer and stopped beside me. I could see the worry on her face. I leaned in so no one heard what I said.“Tell me the guy so I know who he is,” I whispered. “You look hot.”She’d gone all out in tight jeans, a swanky top, and killer stilettos that she somehow managed to handle on the grass. Impressive. She had smoke eyes that made her look sexy. The striking red lipstick added the pow. Whatever guy it was, she would reel him in.“Thank you. You are crazy, you know that?”Dante put his arms around my stomach and pulled me back against him. “She’s my crazy girl and don’t forget it.”“That might actually be so sweet, I puke,” Megan said.“Go get her, killer,” Dante said when Ms. Bianchi spotted me and waved me closer.Several of Stella’s crew made snide remarks which I ign

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
Mafia High CHAPTER 108
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
Mafia High CHAPTER 104
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
Mafia High CHAPTER 102
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
