Mafia’s Contract: Tormented III Chapter 7
CHAPTER 7 “I believe that a good man does badly with good intentions. But does a bad man do bad with no intentions? Or good with bad intentions?” — Jean Anturez JORDAN POV YOU HAVE GOT TO BE SHITTING ME. Those were the exact words that left my mouth when we all stepped into the renowned Cattanio-Alderman household and my eyes stumbled on none but Laura Fuckin’ Alderman. Just like the night before she planted a slag into my leg, she wore a beautiful pearly smile, the one that lured the weak into her trap before she busted the little fantasy that loomed around her, revealing her very dark and ugly core. Our gazes collided and darkness had swirled in her eyes before she gave me a spine-chilling smile. It wasn’t the evil kind of darkness; it was a mixture of what I’d call amusement and something I was still trying to decipher. Her smile had been almost contagious, stepping in front of her whole family and taking up the role of the eldest daughter of the wealthiest family in all of

CHAPTER 8“Advantages never come free. You have to create it the way you want it.”— Ashish PatelMELODY POV“A masquerade? Not so bad.” I nodded to my three fathers who were seated on their office couches like kings they were. It would have been crazy in the eyes of the world and the gods for three grown-ass men to share literally everything. But this kind of thing is the only thing I have known since I spoke my first word.It was either three of them or nothing. As puzzling as it was, I found it highly fascinating that the three of them could be so close, despite... Everything. Their past; considering that Daddy used to be Dada and Papa's sworn enemy. Add the mere fact that the three of them loved one woman. I have read stories during times of severe boredom, but I have never come across a tale of a woman with three husbands. Not even the gods were that blessed.And I am saying blessed because they all loved her to death. The men would literally die for Mommy. And honestly, if I d

CHAPTER 9“Be careful of success. It has a dark side.” — Robert RedfordJORDAN POV“You should keep their eldest daughter busy, son. We can’t let this opportunity slip through our fingers.” The itch to scream was hot and unforgiving beneath my skin as my father repeated the same words for the umpteenth time ever since they disappeared into the office that night.Get Fuckin’ close to Melody Cattanio.“And why would I do that? I don’t even know her.” I retaliated using the same words I spouted whenever he threw that phrase into my face. I did know Melody. To some extent of course. Nobody in this world could actually say they knew that girl all too well. She was a sin wrapped in a mystery, and not even a hundred years would be enough to fully study her. At least that's the conclusion I drew after spending a few seconds of her sitting across from me, and not me inside of her. “We all saw how you two looked at each other. You can't stand in front of us and swear that nothing has ever ha

CHAPTER 10 “I have a perfect cure for sore throat… cut it!”— Alfred HitchcockMELODY POVEvery man filtering through the door could make a fine husband. And if I was desperate enough, I would sew my own wedding gown and tie one of them by my side right fuckin' now.The lobby was buzzing with California Elites and the members of “high-class society”. I wasn’t surprised when Jada Pinkett Smith herself showed up, even more, when nobody seemed to be fazed by her appearance. You had to be one hell of a rich sick fuck to see Jada Pinkett and not lose your shit and start asking for selfies and whatnot. But my focus wasn’t on women. I don’t need women and their wantons. No shades at the lesbos… But men… Yahp. Those creatures are amazing. And they smell nice too. With the rim of the glass on my lips, I scanned the crowd stealthily while taking small sips. The wine settled in my stomach with a wave of warmth, heating my chest pleasantly as I continued my survey.My eyes landed to my right,

CHAPTER 11"It's almost as if we each have a vampire inside us. Controlling that beast, that dark side, is what fascinates me." - Sheryl LeeJORDAN POVIt felt like being dunked into a pool of molten lava.The chlorine as it sipped into the plastic cast and passed the bandages into my sore wound. I tried for the laps, kicking the water and breaking through the surface, but a cramp decided to grasp me by my muscles, rendering me immobile. I became a lump of breathing meat under the bright blue pool water. The only thing I saw before I sank to the bottom was a glimpse of red and sparkly heels as they retreated, the sound of them hauntingly ringing in my brain.My chest burned as my lungs fought for air, and for a second there, I thought this was it.What a pathetic way of dying. What a lot of things I am going to miss in life. I opened my mouth and tried to resurface, only to fail miserably. A firm arm snaked around my chest and pulled me up. We broke through the surface in what fe

CHAPTER 12“The heart of another is a dark forest, always, no matter how close it has been to one’s own.”__William WordsworthMELODY POVHazel eyes, rainforest, and hot muscles.That’s the definition of distraction in all forms of the word and I hated it.The things I felt for Jordan Fuckin’ Rothschild had to be all inhuman, and I found myself having a hard trying to wrap my mind around the whole thing.Normally, anybody who carried just a fraction of what HE possessed would be unalived, thrown into the sea, and contributed to the marine food chain and survival. One thing I understood intimately was that in this line of work, distraction was suicide, and we all know I don’t do well with all that.But there was something burning low and unhurried deep within the foreign folds of my being that prevented me from planting a bullet between his eyes. It wouldn’t even cost a lot, just one bullet and all of this… All of this madness would be gone and over with. But he was my pawn. My boardi

CHAPTER 13“The more we deny that we have a dark side, the more power it has over us.” __ Sheryl LeeJORDAN POVAll the air that was going down my pipe got trapped in a balloon, causing me to heave out and start coughing frantically.A smooth hand found my back and started patting softly, but the coughs never seized. “Ahhhmm… I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to startle all of you. It was just… Oh, silly me.” I watched as the hostess got up and poured a glass of water before rounding the table and walking to me, then held it up for me, an apologetic smile on her face. “Thanks.” I wheezed as I took the glass and gulped down the whole liquid down. WHAT IN THE ACTUAL HELL?“I was just… Oh, my word. This is embarrassing.” Mrs. Cattanio-Alderman laughed off nervously as she started walking back to her seat, her face flushed and making her look 20 years younger than her actual age. “That’s actually a good idea.” My dad jibed in, and I stopped myself from throwing the empty glass at his head.

Chapter 14 “There are those who are afraid of the dark, not just because it’s dark, but because of what’s inside the darkness.” — Timothy LongJORDAN POV“And then another one bites the dust. Hell must be freezing and demons fleeing with the way everyone is just getting hooked. Tell me, what in the world is going on? Is the earth running out of women or something?” Quin drawled smoothly before winking at me, the glass of whiskey lingering on his lips for a moment. “Something,” I grumbled nursing my own whiskey like it was some kind of a relaxing charm.“Besides, I haven’t agreed on getting married.” I finished the sentence, the word ‘married’ sending a jolt of pain to my brain. I was too fuckin young to be tied down to a woman. Not just any other woman, but Melody.“What’s the worst that can possibly happen? It’s Laura Fuckin’ Alderman you’re marrying. That alone is enough to put you down that aisle by the altar and marry the shit out of her.” Quin’s voice crackled over the blastin

"Together, we are untouchable. Like Bonnie and Clyde." ~ UNKNOWNJORDAN POVI knew he had to die. I knew I should have killed the bloody bastard the first time I learned of everything he had done, instead of letting him breathe for another second. Nothing killed a husband more than seeing his wife crumbling and fumbling for control when everything else just continued spiraling, and I hated that I seemed powerless and helpless about it all. Peter Rothschild should have died a long time ago, but I hesitated;And now he was brazenly threatening everything that my wife and her family had worked for so long… for decades. Maybe I wasn’t being loyal to blood. But blood alone was not what made you family. And learning everything that my grandfather did just proved that. My family was with Melody, because it was with her I got to be the man I was today. And the mere fact that my in-laws would burn the whole world for me was what made them family to me, and I wouldn’t trade them for anything.

“Any distraction tends to get in the way of being an effective gangster.” — Terence Winter~THREE WEEK LATER~MELODY POVIt was nostalgic. Almost not disheartening now that I knew where it came from. Like back when I was young and everything was just going so smoothly. I woke up every day and lazed around the rest of the day like a headless, aimless chicken with nothing to do on my hand. Maybe I was so used to spilling blood that going on for three weeks straight without seeing red coating my hands was a sin in itself.But this one was boring as hell. Sure, it was better when I was younger and didn’t know what had happened when my fathers were all home. But now I did, and I kind of missed the thrill of the fight. With these thoughts coursing through my mind, I glanced at an empty space beside me on the bed, and then thought hard on it. The sun was already out, and it was dang late. But I had no fuckin’ plans. Sure, I could visit the coke plant and see how my people were doing, and

“Best way to not get your heart broken is to not have one.” ~ UNKNOWNMELODY POVWe slipped through the security, and one of the guards (whatever his name was) took us up to the VIP booth on the second floor. “The Eagle is one of the most… he is not our usual client. So we thought we could take him up to the VIP.” He explained, stopping outside the booth that was covered with a violet curtain. “Is it true he is unarmed?” I asked with knitted brows, and the man nodded. “He didn’t bring any of his dogs?” Jord chimed in, and I looked at him before shifting my questioning gaze at the gaze. “He just showed up. No underman, nothing.” The man explained with a puzzled shrug, and my gaze collided with Jord’s.“Sounds fishy.” He said the exact thing I said when Douglass laid the news to me. “Okay, bud. Keep out on the lookout for things. And if you see anything out of place, kill it. No second thought or hesitation.” That came from Jordan, and if I wasn’t as puzzled as I was, I would have

"Blood makes you related, and loyalty makes you family.” ~ UNKNOWNMELODY POV“The Eagle is here.” The words caused the hairs on the back of my neck to stand on attention. My expression morphed from one of softness to stone cold in a fraction of a second, and I heard a small whistle coming from the other side of the terrace where Emily stood. I gave her a stink eye before getting up from where I was perched, then walked away without much of a word.“What the hell is Valero doing here? Is he armed?” I asked when I was out of ear shorts, already racing down the stairs to put on different clothes. I didn’t approach situations like those clad in jeans and a sweater. “That’s the exciting part. He is alone. He didn’t bring anyone with him and he is unarmed.” He revealed, and my confusion spiked through the roof. “Where are you? Is he with you?” I got into my bedroom before heading straight for my closet, then rummaged through my collection of leather pants because truth be told; nothing

"A guy told me one time… don’t let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.” ~ Neil McCauleyMELODY POVThe touch came in innocent; like the feel of a light feather when it ghosted against the skin. My mind exploded under the two stimulants of the hot, soft tuch and the thickness and richness of the hot chocolate, causing heat to flood to every single part of my body. Every cell in my body buzzed with alertness when Jordan’s strong arms trapped me against the kitchen island. It was 8 in the morning, and he had to have left for work already. Sometimes I liked to picture us living in the classic French house with a white picket fence and annoying shit machines running around the house and wreaking havoc in nothing but diapers. It was safer to have a little bit of reality escape, especially when it was free to think. “What are you thinking of?” He drawled, his fingers caressing my barely dressed self

“I don’t like violence, Tom. I’m a businessman. Blood is a big expense.” ~ SollozzoJORDAN POVThe evening was pleasant, with the fresh scent of a live city and blinding lights. Few clouds hung from the sky staring down at the world like they were watchers of humanity. The air was dense, and humidity painted small vapor droplets on the windows. Everything was pleasant, everything but the LA night traffic which was a colossal pain in the ass, and every second we wasted traipsing in a convoy made me want to lose my mind.. Melody's presence was a heavy entity dominating my resolutions by my side, and her thoughts were so fuckin' loud I couldn't focus on anything but everything that turmoiled in her mind. And to think we ditched our own party and ran behind some retarded folk gangster to save the damsel in distress still sounded so crazy to me. But in all honesty, I would do it all over again if my time with my woman was guaranteed. I mean, what can I say? Mel always had that effect on m

"Do not fear death. Death is just a reformation of something even more magnificent. Death is where it all starts, death; it’s not the end.’~ UNKNOWNJORDAN POVAs though it was waiting to be opened, the first thing to flash across the screen was a blurred video that seemed to play on a broken loop. A few seconds in, everything cleared, revealing a very familiar, sweet, and feminine voice. The voice belonged to none but Emee, and that spiked my interest in knowing what exactly was in the device she gave us.Probably because I was still in wonder. Wondering how the hell someone like Emee, someone so kind and loving ended up licking the ass of someone as horrible as Peter. None of this made sense. Grandpops... He used to be... he was so different. He was a man. A father. Or maybe everything I saw through the eyes of a small boy was just a facade, and everything I saw was him trying to butter me up and suck me into his lair. Just that my father refused to give him that chance. And Emee

"I don’t wanna be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me.” ~ Frank CostelloEMILY POVLike a ray of sun piercing through the darkest clouds of a bitter storm, her presence alone was the resemblance of the sweet taste of redemption. For over twenty years now, I have been living as a hollow of a woman I once was. I saw myself changing in front of my eyes, from a loving, caring human into this shell of a human that cared less about… anything. My soul was so empty, my heart so drained. I lived every day like it was my last on earth, having no hope of seeing tomorrow or even the thirst of dreaming about the future. Everything was here, yet so out of reach. I had everything a woman my age could think of. Everything money could buy. But happiness? Freedom? Those were the two things that millions in my bank account failed to give me. Of course, on my most blue days, I drowned my sorrows in a bottle of the world's most expensive alcohol, but that was just

" “The loudest one in the room is the weakest one in the room.” — Frank LucasJORDAN POVI didn’t realize the restlessness that ghosted under my skin until I tried to sit down and calm the fuck down while trying by all means not to murder my grandad who stood in front of me like a pompous dick he was. I watched with obsidian as my wife skitted across the room towards the wine cabinet, then poured some good whiskey in the four flutes before returning with a tray. Always a good hostess she was!‘’A drink?” She stood in front of me and bent down to place the tray, sounding as though she was making an offer while I knew damn well in my heart and my soul that she would blow the fucker’s brains out if they tried to turn down her whiskey offer. Nothing got in the way of whiskey to Mel. And I just loved her for that. Emily jumped up and took a glass, passed it to Peter who leaned in to place and caught her by her nape before devouring her face in a sloppy wet kiss that had me gagging eve
