Allegra

─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─

I sat on Chiara's bed as I watched her get ready. I hadn't told her about my interaction with the underboss at my engagement, she will try to gauge every single detail about it. knowing that Chiara would relentlessly pry for every minor detail. Our exchange was unremarkable; we merely conversed, and he offered me a cigarette—nope we shared a cigarette.

"Look, Allegra, all I am saying is Aldo is probably a really good match, I mean they are financially way more stable than you guys—"

I groaned, "Money is not a problem, Chiara, we do just fine, Grandpa earns more than enough but we do charity a lot, there's a difference. I'm not looking for a wealthy partner to take care of my financial needs."

She faced me, putting on a lacey red, push-up bra, "Then what are you looking for?"

I pulled my knees to my chest and wrapped my arms around them, "I'm not even looking for anything, I just don't want to get married to anyone."

"But you are getting married in a week," she

    Scott ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─She slapped me. My face turned to the side and I glared at the wall. This girl had the nerve to slap me. Me? Who the fuck does she think she is?! With a lazy and calculated move, I finally turned my face to her, only to find a spark of fury igniting in her eyes. It was as if she was begging for a taste of my power. As if she didn't know who I was and what I am capable of. As if she didn't know I was the one who truly held the reins. She still dared to slap me. It's clear, she played with fire, and now she will bear the consequences.I grabbed her wrist with a firm grip, the same one she used to slap me, and forcefully pulled her towards me. As her eyes widened in terror, a smile spread across my face. It's about time she learned to fear me because that little Miss "Holier Than Thou" obviously thinks she can just slap me and get away with it."Don't ever try that again if you want to live," I threatened in a low voice But instead of cowering away from me, she stuck h

    Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─I felt a knot in my stomach as Mama shut the door behind her. Grandpa kept looking at me as if I hadn't committed the worst crime in the history of crimes. "I just wanted to have a few good moments with my best friend before I got married—" The words were still in my mouth when a harsh stinging slap collided with my cheek so hard that I lost my footing and my body slammed into the nearby wall. The sudden impact on my cheek sent a searing pain through my face as if flames were licking at my skin. The force of the slap was so intense that I felt my jaw pop out of place. It was as if the world had stopped for a moment, and all I could focus on was the burning sensation on my cheek and the throbbing pain in my jaw. I could hardly believe that Mama had hit me with such force, and the shock of it left me reeling for a good while.The sting from the blow Mama inflicted on me had me crumpled to the ground. It wasn't the first time her hand had come down on me, but this was

    Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─As my wedding day approached in just two days, the scars and puffiness still refused to heal. The pain was numbing but I couldn't hide the physical marks. When Grandpa finally saw my face that day after he came home from church, he had a complete meltdown. I could see the anger boiling inside him. The tension between him and Mama was palpable as they fought over me. This wasn't the first time this had happened, it seemed like every time Mama took her frustrations out on me, Grandpa would step in and the two of them would clash. It's hard living in a home where peace is so fragile, I just wish things could be different.Oh great, just what I needed. Mama's eyes were practically sparkling with joy as the Cerone's delivered what can only be described as a hideous monstrosity in white. I'm supposed to wear this? Apparently, it's been passed down through generations of the Cerone family, but does that mean I have to wear it too? It's not like I even wanted a traditional

    Scott ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─"Missed me?" I said teasingly, catching her off guard. She was taken aback for a moment, but then her eyes squinted as I gave her a sly grin.Fuck, this is exactly why I was here. She looked around the restaurant, Little Miss Holier Than Thou was probably looking for her fiancé but I snapped before her eyes, and that made her attention turn back to me. She let out an annoyed breath, "What do you want from me? Why are you here?" I lifted my shoulder, grabbed the wine glass out of her hand, and downed it, "I'm bored." She gasped as she wasn't expecting it, the fast movement made her flinch as if I was about to hit her. When she registered what had happened she scowled."What's with the serious face?" I teased. "I just came to liven up your day." She rolled her eyes and let out a dry chuckle. "And by livening up, you mean to steal my wine?" I placed the empty glass back in front of her, "Exactly. I'm bored and I need some entertainment.""And how is it my problem?"

    Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─I crouched behind the wall, my heart raced with fear. All I wanted right now was to speak to Grandpa, but the thought of leaving this hiding spot sent a chill up my spine. I yearned to be back home and in the safety of Grandpa's arms, where I can curl up and try to forget about the terror I felt tonight. I strained my ears to listen closely, and among the cacophony of deep voices, I could identify the unmistakable tone of the Underboss. My heart sank as I realized the Capo and his men were now present too. This was going to be a long night. The cops were here. I peeked through the wall and saw them exchanging briefcases with the Capo and his men, filled with cash to sweep everything under the rug and make up for the havoc caused by the Underboss. It's almost impressive how they handled the situation with ease and confidence as if dealing with cops is a walk in the park for them. They got rid of the bodies, and the one on the bike survived too. They took both survi

    Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─The looming night before our wedding, we hosted a dinner celebration for the Cerone family. The intimate gathering comprised only the immediate families from both sides. Dread filled the air as I tried to put on a brave face, hoping the night would pass without a hitch. My mother insisted on dressing me up and applying excessive makeup to enhance my appearance. However, as I caught a glimpse of Aldo across the room, a feeling of dread washed over me. My mind wandered back to the previous night's dinner when he made inappropriate comments that left me feeling uncomfortable. Despite my attempts to push the memory aside, it lingered in my mind, overshadowing the festivities of the night.As soon as the thought of getting intimate with Aldo crossed my mind, I felt a strong urge to throw up. The mere idea of being physically close to that man made me shiver with disgust. He embodied everything that I detested; his old-fashioned values, male chauvinism, and his belief in

    Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─Today is the day that I was supposed to get married. But as I look at myself in the mirror, I can't help but feel sick with dread. This morning, I woke up with the memories of last night fresh on my mind. I remembered how the man I was about to marry had slapped me last night. As I stared at my reflection, I saw someone who is a far cry from who I am in real life. The person in the mirror seems weak and powerless.My face felt caked with layers of makeup, so much so that I felt like a completely different person. My light brown hair was curled to perfection, cascading down my bare shoulders, giving me the metaphorical bridal glow—which feel strangely exposed. Aldo did have the dress altered for me, He got rid of the shoulder ruffles, but now it's according to his taste - not mineAccording to his taste...that's how the rest of my life is going to be. If I went along with this wedding, I would be giving up my freedom and conforming to his every whim. It felt like I

    Scott ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─I didn't really want to be here for the wedding, but somehow I ended up coming anyway. I was told by a source - let's call it a little birdie - that my presence was expected. And now, against my better judgment, I find myself here, feeling incredibly bored and uninterested in everything that's going on.As I took my seat next to Niko in the front row, I couldn't help but feel the urge for a smoke. The thought of weddings made me feel uneasy and repulsed. The mere notion of binding yourself to one person for eternity seemed grotesque and made my stomach turn. I mean, honestly, the idea of waking up every day and seeing the same face for the rest of my life was enough to make me want to puke. I could never, and I mean never, commit to such a fate.I peered across the room, my eyes fell upon the Cerone family seated on the opposite end. Their unappealing faces and features disgusted me to no end. Aldo, in particular, I found repulsive, and for good reason. I have seen hi

  • Mafia Men III - Mancini's Bride   Epilogue

    Scott ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─I often grapple with the truth about myself, an internal struggle that gnaws at my conscience.I'm a bad man, there's no doubt about it. I do fucked up shit every single day when I step out of our house. Some people would even call me an animal who only thinks of himself. But then, Allegra's words echo in my mind, her belief that I'm neither wholly good nor irredeemably bad. I'm somewhere in the middle. I navigate the murky waters, an enigma that shifts between the realms of darkness and light. I'm a creature of duality, treading a path that skirts the edges of both shadows and illumination.Her words, not mine. Only she can say such big words. Dr. Allegra Mancini—A really beautiful and intelligent woman. How the fuck did I get so lucky? But I've got to confess, it hasn't exactly been a stroll through the amusement park either. I mean, who knew that this whole "marriage thing" would require more effort than assembling a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle?Especially

    Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─"Say it again..." he said, looking down at me as I laid my head on his chest.We went at it like animals the whole damn night, couldn't get enough of each other. Even in the morning, we were still at it in the shower, water, and soap doing nothing to cool us off. Then I slipped into a satin nightdress, his muscular frame clad only in boxers. We just lay in bed, talking, laughing the aftermath of our wild night still making its presence known between my legs. I laughed, it was probably the tenth time he had asked me to repeat it, "I love you." He smiled again, staring up at the ceiling. One of his arms propped under his head and the other wrapped around me, "Fuck..." he mumbled under his breath as if I had said something completely unbelievable. "I never thought I'd ever fall in love with someone like you," I said, trailing my finger over his warm and smooth chest. He raised an eyebrow, something flashed in his beautiful eyes, "Someone like me?" I nodded, "Yes, s

    Scott ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─The stupid party was over, Chiara and her family had been dragged to the basement, and her father and brother kept asking about what they did wrong, I guess their daughter will tell them everything herself. I made my way over to Allegra who sat beside Alessia clutching my jacket, a bit shaken up by what had happened. I couldn't imagine being betrayed by your best friend like that, the one you fucking grew up with. I placed my hand behind her on the backrest of the chair and leaned over her, she looked at me with those soft honey-colored eyes, a faint smile gracing those lips that I've grown addicted to. "You're okay?" I asked, kissing the top of her head. She nodded, "I'm fine." "Good, let's go home." "What about Chiara?" "What about her?" "Are you going to kill her?" I shook my head even though the thought gave me satisfaction but she was a woman of the Cosa Nostra, daughter of a Capo, I couldn't touch her. I could only leave that part to her family. "No, bu

    Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─He placed a hand on the small of my back as we walked inside and the moment we entered, his laidback expression turned into a hard, vicious one. The way he glared at every other Outfit member made me uneasy, I don't know if this “peace” will last. I looked up at his face and he glanced at me, "What's wrong?" I asked. "I fucking hate their faces," he answered lowly. I smiled, shaking my head as we made our way to Nikolai and the rest. We sat around the table and on the other side was occupied by the Capones. My eyes met with Alessia and she visibly let out a sigh of relief at the sight of me. I managed to give her a small smile before turning to Silvio and that smile broadened because just by his side was Enrico grinning back at me. They were here, they were together in public with their fathers and they were happy. Nikolai, Salvatore, and Vincenzo were already engrossed in their conversation about their business and how it will be easier for their trades to be

    Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─ONE MONTH LATER──── ⋆⋆⋆⋆ ────I bit my lower lip as I curled the last remaining strand of my hair. For the first time, I had gotten ready all by myself without anyone's assistance and I could say I looked like the perfect Mrs. Mancini. I wore a black silk satin dress that had a cowl neckline, and a lace-up back with a side slit, and paired it with black heels. A sharp sting on my butt cheek caused me to spin around, narrow my eyes, and rub the sore spot. Scott glared at me, taking in my appearance from head to toe, he was mad about not having sex for a long time. This morning the doctor gave him the green light to have sex but I refused, we simply did not have time for that. And now he's mad at me for not giving in. He had been asking me to sit on his face for a month now and I'm sure once we go down that road, he won't be satisfied with a single round. He only wore a pair of black boxer briefs, and his hair was still wet from our shower. "What?" I asked, thro

    Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─For a moment, time seemed to stand still as I looked up at his face and he smiled down at me. Busted-up lips, swollen cheeks, broken nose, black eyes but still he managed to take my breath away. The morning light fell on his face, he glowed differently today, so injured and still looking like a handsome devil with those beautiful green eyes. "Good morning..." I answered, trying to get off the bed but he held me back again, "Scott, you're injured, stop it and the doctors will be here any time now. Let go," I said, successfully pulling myself out. He had an annoying smug smile on his face as he watched me as if he had the secrets of the universe up his sleeve. I tucked my hair behind my ears from both sides, "What?" I asked, feeling the burn of his intense gaze. He gave his head a gentle shake, his eyes stuck to me, "Nothing... you're beautiful," he said in a low voice, and good Lord, it did something to me, making every nerve ending in my body tremble. I shyly

    Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─Vito drove us back to the hospital. I never thought that I'd feel this lighter, this free after ending a relationship with Luna. I don't know how or why I kept holding onto her for so long. The ultimate revenge against such a parent is to break free, persevere, and blossom into the most authentic and remarkable version of myself.Luna had problems. I can't say that she had been treated fairly by my father, he had hurt her really badly. He had called out another woman's name while he was with her but she stayed. It was on her and him not on me. She made me her outlet for the emotional abuse she received from my father. I never thought I'd be able to do it, you know, cut all ties with her, leave her in the past, and get myself out of this abusive relationship but somehow I did it. I don't know if he knows that or not but he made me stronger. He makes me feel confident and bold, he makes me want to do things that I had never imagined I'd ever do. Vito parked the car

    Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─Ray's face went through a whirlwind of emotions as we crossed paths outside the hospital: surprise, followed by a wave of relief. Flashing a brief, reassuring smile, I quickly made my way down the hallway, hopped into the elevator, and ascended eagerly to find out how he was doing. When I got there, he was inside with the doctors. No one was allowed to enter so we waited outside. Neither Nikolai nor Lorenzo opted for respite, not even for a fleeting moment. I sat on a waiting chair that was outside the room and Ray sat beside me, "I heard what you did... I can't believe you saved him. How did you do it?" I turned to look at him and gave my head a gentle shake, "I had help." Ray raked a hand through his hair, "Everyone is talking about how you practically got all the men out of their territory unscathed," his eyes showed admiration and respect.I managed to give him a feeble smile, "As I said, I had help..." If it wasn't for Silvio Capone, things might have gone
