Mafia's Innocent Witness Chapter 22
Chapter 22 A year has passed, and I am still without Ace. During this time, I have learned a bit about coping with the loss of my child. Micah and I have grown to feel like real siblings; he drives me crazy, but he is the best older brother I could ask for. Lavana Singh has become my best friend and sister; she is still the sweetest person I have ever met and practically lives here now. Together, they have become the family I always wished for. Even though Ace pushed us away, I still find comfort in the fact that I chose to be with him that day. I don’t regret the paths I took or the decisions I made in the past. My life has changed significantly since Ace compelled Micah and me to leave. For starters, I cut my hair; it no longer cascades down my back, perhaps because Ace liked it that way. I do my best to wear a smile on the outside, but on the inside, I feel as if I’m gradually withering away. I never dated Nate; in fact, I haven’t dated anyone. However, since he is Mi

★★★★ Four years have passed since the one person I needed most returned to my life, and so much has changed since then. Micah has become a successful entrepreneur, owning a thriving technology company, while Lavana helps him manage the business and also works as a dedicated social worker at the hospital where I work. As for Ace, he remains an entrepreneur at heart, continuously exploring new ventures and challenges, and together, we've built a new life, enriched by the love and support of those around us. He now owns a successful car company and still possesses all the houses in Russia, a testament to his enduring influence. Thanks to Rico, his record remained spotless, just like when we first met, allowing him to step into this new chapter without the shadows of his past. However, the landscape around Ace has shifted drastically; many of his former associates met tragic ends, unable to sever ties with the dirty business they once thrived on, choosing instead to join rival gangs

Uncle Micah, who is Harper's dad along with my dad, decided it was a great idea for us to spend a month together in Italy before the three of us went off to Russia, where we go every year to visit the resting place of our grandma who is Madison grandaunt. They wanted us to study in Italy, so tht was another reason. Although I'm not sure of Harper's plan, I already told my parents that I have no interest in attending College.

Niyler Rostov POV "Mom have you seen my other skirt?" I ask after mom picked up after the second ring.It was a bit embarrassing that we are in the same house, but still I had to call her on the phone instead of yelling, simply because she wouldn't hear a thing. We lived in a house way too huge for my liking. It had something to do with mom living on the streets and now it's time for her to have the luxury of having multiple rooms. My parents weren't the kind to show off and brag, they remained humble. "Good morning to you too honey, and it's in your closet next to your winter clothes.""Thanks mom," I say as I walk back into the closet and just like she said it was right next to my coats.Today was the first day of senior year and I want to look my extra best. After pulling up the beige pleated skirt, I fix the button and move over to my full body mirror that is located in the middle of my walk-in closet. My makeup was flawless and my brunette hair were in large curls t

I thought we were best friends Niyler, how could you do this to me?"I ignore Kendra's dramatic rant, while I walk ahead of her. I was used to them by now."Answer me Niyler. I need to know the details."Liam and Stefano had went to the principal office since his dad wanted to see them about some important information before class begins. As much as I was happy to get rid of Stefano for a while I wonder why he could not have said what he wanted to at the house where they were all coming from."Keep your voice down, it's the beginning of Senior year and I do not want my name to be dragged around in rumors." I stop for her to catch up with me as we made our way to Physics class. "And don't let him hear you call him that, his ego does not need anymore boosting. As for not telling you, I hid it for probably the same reaso

Niyler Rostov Unfortunately Stefano shared the three last classes with me, Chemistry, English Language and Human and Social Biology. Thankfully I didn't have to endure much of his presence since Kat was also in our Human and Social Biology class. As soon as we entered she waved him over saying he should take the seat next to her, the seat that was already occupied by a poor blonde hair boy who resembles Harry Potter. She glared at the boy causing him to take his things and hurry to the back of the class.Stefano was not pleased, but I was. Instead of being stuck with him sitting next to me and playing in my hair almost every minute I was left with a bit of peace while he was stuck with Kat flirting with him through out the entire session. Currently I was seated in a booth in Soe's dessert house with my two best friends, thankfully Stefano was not here. Liam mentioned that he had other plans. This was the regular chilling spot for all students from our school and other private and pub

Chapter 29Ride For You I started to laugh. What else could I do? Harper was being silly, she spend too much time reading those Mafia romance novels, how else would she be able to think of something so unbelievable? "Come on Harper are you for real? Our dads' father was a part of a Mafia? That's impossible Harper." I say shaking my head."Think about it Niyler. Why would they hide their previous name from us, tell us not to be quick to trust anyone, or tell them our names? You spent one week with that Siciliani guy and the entire time he didn't even know your name. Which is just so stupid. Also, why aren't we allowed to talk about our grandfather or that side of the family, we were in Italy for a month where our paternal family is from and we couldn't even visit them.""We don't even know if they are alive Harper and I also think it's stupid for us to hide our names and as for not trusting people easily, people can't be trusted, Harper.""Uncle Ace took over

Harper RostovRide For You "I really hope this is the one. I am so exhausted and I have a test to study for." Ophelia says as we walk up the driveway of a four-bedroom house with our realtor Xandra leading the way. We have been viewing apartments and houses from eight-thirty this morning and it is now three forty-four pm. Who would have thought that it would take so much time and energy to find a decent place to live? It made it even more difficult because we all had different tastes and preferences."I agree. My feet are killing me." Olivia says."I can guarantee you, ladies, this one is my favourite and I am sure you will like it too," Xandra says. She removes the key from her purse and opens the door. We followed her in and looked around. So far, so good. I thought as I looked around the big empty space."Didn't she say the same thing for the last two?" Tamia whispers to me as we continue to follow behind her."She said that for the last three." I correct her and she rolls her eye

Harper RostovRide For You As soon as the door closes behind us Parker turns to face me. His hands were tucked into the pockets of a jean jacket he wore. "Can I get a hug?"I roll my eyes. "Do you think you deserve a hug? You ignored me for days Parker, then you just show up here pretending as if everything is okay."Parker cast his gaze downwards and scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. "I'm sorry Harp, I was in a tough situation." His eyes met mine. "Shouldn't I get a hug for facing my fears and going on a plane just so I can be with you?" He did deserve a hug. I was just being stubborn. He could have still replied to my messages to let me know that he was not alright. "You are such a brave boy, come here," I say playful with open arms.Parker smiles sweetly and pulls me into his arms. I melt away in the comfort his body provides and the amazing scent that comes from his body. It was just so intoxicating. "I missed you, Harper." He whispers."I miss

Harper RostovRide For You*Present Time* The girls and I were in a serious conversation regarding a book Ophelia's mom left her. She had confided in us after we promised to always remain friends. I would never have thought that Manny was so cruel and that Ophelia had gone through half of what she did. No wonder they say that you should never judge a book by its cover."I think you should forgive your mom. She was in a tough situation." Olivia shares her opinion.Tamia shakes her head while throwing peanuts in her mouth. "It is not my decision to make, but I wouldn't. My daughter would have been more important than money. The best thing she could have done was take you with her and run for the hills.""Right!" Ophelia says pointing at Tamia as if that was the best thing she heard all night. "That is what I said to Kain. What do you think, Harp?"I slumped further down on the couch and thought about the situation. Her dad wanted to harm her mom, so she left. Leaving

Tamia LarsonBefore University I don't give a damn 'bout my reputationYou're living in the past, it's a new generationA girl can do what she wants to doAnd that's what I'm gonna do The song by Joan Jett was loud in my ears as I hopped around a few times. I didn't care that the music was loud, I would worry about being hard of hearing in the future. I punched the big brown colour bag a few times. This is what I do to relax and blow off steam. Gunner and I used to practice together, but he left a month ago to serve his country. I punch the bag harder a few times. Having a boyfriend who was in the army was tough. Not one day goes by that I don't worry about him. Boxing and beating on a punching bag helped me a lot, he taught me how to box. He said it would help to release the pent-up anger I had after my father left me, my mom, and my brother, for another family and he was right. "Mia! Tamia!"

Olivia McDonald Going to University in another country was going to cost an arm and a leg. Luckily I have been saving for years, I did side hustles while going to high school so that I could pay for University. It was not legal to sell things on the school compound, but I did that just to get by. I sold snacks and sweets to my classmates so that they could have something to chew on during classes, even though we weren't allowed to eat in class. When the teacher started to suspect me, I had to find another way to make money so I started to sell pens and pencils. Then I upgraded to babysitting and washing cars. When I was in the tenth grade I started my small business called Liv's Collection, where I sell crochet swimwear that I made and also regular two-piece and one-piece sets that I brought from overseas vendors. That was a good business idea and I hope to expand in the years to come.Sometimes business was slow, but other times I received huge orders which was

Ophelia KeatenBefore University I was unable to focus on the match. I kept replaying what Quin said to me and how she hugged me tightly as if she was not going to see me again. I was worried about her. She knew things that I did not and that scared me."Hello gorgeous, why do you look so worried?" I glance up at the tall and handsome guy in front of me. He held his jersey in one hand with sweat dribbling from his golden abs. My eyes met Kain's hazel ones before they moved down to his full pink lips that wore a smile. I snapped myself out of it and looked around me, People were leaving and the scoreboard had the scores 159 to 103. Miami Heat won and I missed out half of the game."Congratulations player. I would hug you, but you are all sweaty." I smile at him. He reached a hand forward and I took it, allowing him to pull me up."Thanks, baby, you know we bring the heat wherever we go." He grins showing his perfect white teeth.I roll my eyes and slap his torso. He t

Ophelia KeatenBefore University "Ophelia?" Someone says shaking me from my slumber. "Helia," The voice says again. I recognize that it was Quin. She is the twenty-four-year-old daughter of Leoni. The woman who took care of me. When my mother left she took over and treated me like I was her daughter. Quin and I grew up together. Even though we were not the closest she treated me like a little sister. Quin was strange, one moment we got along and the next she was distant as if she was hiding something and was scared I would find out. For my safety, I try not to get very close to her or Leonie. Sure they were there when I was a child, but as soon as I reached my teens I spent most of my time alone. The closer we were the harder it would be when they decided to leave me. "Leave me alone, Quin," I mumble and pull the blanket over my head. "Sweetheart it is noon and you haven't left your bed from morning. Your dad wants to talk to you, unfortunately, that

Ophelia KeatenBefore University If I had to sit through another photoshoot then I would go blind from the damn lights flashing from the camera and into my face. This was the worst part of being Manny Keaten's daughter. I only see him for a few hours every month and during those hours I was completely devastated. It was draining and nerve-wracking being around him. We might share the same last name and the same blood, but he felt like a stranger.We put on a great picture for the world to see. To them, my annoying stepmother, Camila, Manny, and I were the perfect family. My reality sucks, my life was far from perfect and there was only one person who made me happy. That is Ryan Johnson, my boyfriend. I met him two years ago at the grand opening of Vikings, a new club in Miami. We made things official six months ago and after leaving the shoot I will visit him at his penthouse. I had an early birthday surprise for him that just can not wait."Ms. Keaten th
