Mafia High CHAPTER 72
RosaWhen I received the email from Rochester with my new roommate assignment, I kicked a hole through my closet door. I couldn’t think of a worse way to spend my senior year than putting up with Isabella Tumicci and her future husband aka Gabriel Caruso, asshole of the century.Isabella’s last roommate found a way to escape the torture. If I knew how she did it, I would replicate it. As it was, I’d been in a pissy mood since I’d found out.Gabriel flashed in my mind and I dug my fingernails into my arm to stop any thoughts of him. He was the last guy on campus I should be interested in. It drove me crazy that he was the only guy I thought about. Now I was stuck rooming with his fiancée.“That bastardo,” Isabella screeched as soon as we entered the dorm.I wasn’t sure how long I could take the high-pitched sound without knocking her teeth out. Less than a day, I’m sure.“You see what is forced on me?” Her hands lifted and her fingertips pinched together to add emphasis to her point.W
Mafia High CHAPTER 73
RosaUntil I’d come up with the bios idea, I’d shared everything I’d done to hack Rochester’s server with my brother. He’d never given me ideas, but I would see his eyes light up when he thought I had a chance. I’d figured out that his interest came because he had never been successful. I would prove to him that I was no longer the little girl who cried when he pulled her ponytail. I had no trouble grabbing my brother’s balls to get his attention.The shell went poof after it gave me access as the system’s user. I did this using my phone’s internet which I’d also manipulated over the summer so the IP address couldn’t be traced back to me. The first hurdle was pulling up the screen and having the ability to function as the user.Bingo. The secretary’s pretty flowers she used for her background appeared. I saw the folder marked senior schedules and opened it.After two years of failure, I’d finally done it. I took a few screenshots to send to my brother when I was done being angry at hi
Mafia High CHAPTER 74
GabrielLate start. I stared at my ceiling while lying in bed, contemplating my hangover and the first day of school. I’d just pulled up my class schedule on my cell and found nothing exciting. I always had half my classes with Isabella. This year, I didn’t want to know which ones ahead of time.We always sat as far from each other as we could get.Most thought mine and Isabella’s relationship hatred bordering on love. The emotions we pulled from each other appeared that way. There were no good feelings between us. We wouldn’t magically fall in love and live happily ever after. It would never be in our cards.Duty was our four of a kind. Without duty, we had everything to lose and I wouldn’t let that happen. My hand went to my dick because Rosa popped into my head while thinking of Isabella. Bella could kill wood faster than a Mafia princess’s father. It didn’t stop Rosa’s image from filling the vision.From the top of her head, which was about six inches below mine, to the bottom of

Gabriel“Franko,” Theo said to warn the group of a potential problem.Armando Franko had given me shit last year but was too pussy to back it up with his fists. He and his crew had just entered the hall. Their hangout was at the opposite end from us. We enjoyed pretending neither side watched the other even though we always watched. Armando had a reputation for fighting dirty when he did fight.No one complained to me when they tangled with him so I’d never given a damn. I would deal with him early this year. I refused to have his shit hanging over my head. We’d settle it one-on-one or with our crews. Either way, Armando would limp away if he was lucky.The bell rang and I watched Isabella’s pink flamingos break up and head to class. I glanced at the schedule on my cell while Isabella went the opposite direction from the class I had. Brando had first period with me and we headed over together.We walked in and I immediately noticed Rosa in the back corner. Brando saw her too and went
Mafia High CHAPTER 76
RosaI’ll admit I was having fun. Gabriel was off his game and I’d gotten him there. He tore out of class as fast as he had in first period. I handed in my test, not caring that the teacher would shake his head when he saw my score. I dumbed myself down when I needed. I could pass every class and never open a book. School would be boring if I didn’t spend the time writing code in my head. That didn’t happen in classes with Gabriel but he would never know that.I didn’t rush after him. I knew where he would be in five minutes.I passed Isabella in the hall.“Rosa,” she called which surprised me and I stopped.“The girls want to have a get-together in my dorm tonight. Could you find some place to go?”Most of her friends tittered which ground on my nerves. I didn’t miss the “my” dorm remark and I knew she didn’t mean her bedroom.“I don’t know, Isabella; my friends are coming over to sage the rooms to get the bad spirits out. I’ll see if they’ll wait until you and your crew are gone so
Mafia High CHAPTER 77
RosaGabriel was standing outside the door to fifth hour, talking to one of his crew when I walked up.“You can’t seriously have this class?” he asked when I went past him.“Afraid I do. Who on earth would put you in accelerated English? You can barely speak pig Latin.”He pulled his phone from his pocket and looked at his schedule.“Fuck my life,” he said.“It won’t be so bad,” I told him with an insincere smile. “I read the syllabus and we’ll be working on definite and indefinite articles along with phrasal verbs. If you put the word fuck in every sentence, you should at least pass.”He stared at me like I had two heads. My victory was sweet. I turned and entered the room. My ass might have had just a bit of extra swing. Gabriel took the seat next to mine. This was getting to the point that he had to be suspicious.“If you don’t have a pencil, just ask and I’ll loan you one,” I told him sweetly.He didn’t blink while he studied me. The teacher came in and took roll. Gabriel never st
Mafia High CHAPTER 78
GabrielI’d had Rosa in every single class. I might not be school smart but I wasn’t stupid. Rosa did not have Home-Ec which was a senior requirement for the female students and Phys-Ed was missing from my schedule. There were rumors about Rosa’s brother and his hacking abilities. The rumors weren’t tied to Rochester but I doubted he left the academy without trying. I was sure Rosa hacked the schedules which put her computer abilities up there with her brother.Why would she align my classes with hers? It made no sense. If she wanted to make my life a living hell, this would work. I always thought she just wanted as far away from me as she could get.It was Thursday and I’d survived another day of blue balls. Me and the crew headed to the gym for a workout. Our school didn’t have sports unless you counted fighting. We practiced bare-knuckle carnage, not boxing, but today was about weights and muscle. We cranked the music up and made the freshmen get lost over the next two hours. When

GabrielI got to my hands and knees and spit blood onto the grass.“Gabriel, don’t move.”“Fuck that. I’m getting out of here.”I had no other thought but to get away. The threat was gone but I still needed to move.“I’ll help but stop trying to do it by yourself. Come on.”She placed an arm under my shoulder. It hurt and I sucked in a loud breath.“Don’t stop,” I told her. “Get me out of here.”“Your dorm?”“No.”I leaned against her and got my feet beneath me, then stumbled and went back down. It fucking hurt but I couldn’t tell you where at this point.The next try I was able to stay upright, if unsteadily.“I have a place if you can climb stairs.”“K.” It was the best I could do.I don’t know where she led me until we entered a side door into the school rotunda. She went to the stairs that took us up to the library. It was still early enough for the library to be open, but I only heard silence and I didn’t see anyone around.I couldn’t handle the climb and knew it. She moved past

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

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

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
