Mafia's Little Pearl Eleven: Ruthless
"What?" I asked still looking like I had seen a ghost. I remembered lying to Saint that she usually came unannounced to the bar the first time he had saved me so he won't keep me hostage. Which hadn't worked then. But I didn't actually expect Suzy, to show up. "I think I have a stalker." She repeated glancing around once more. "Suzy. I've not seen you ever since you left the house. I was so worried about you. You don't reply to my texts or call back. Marcel is missing. Uncle is probably dead. You said you didn't want to get involved and then all of a sudden, you appear and tell me you're being stalked?" I asked, pain making my voice quiver. The paranoia evident on her face didn't go away as she stared back at me." I'm sorry Jade, I've just got a lot going on.""That isn't important now. Have you seen the person stalking you? How did you know?" I asked. She explained to me the whole deal and I asked her to report to the police which she said she already did. I told her also to kee
Mafia's Little Pearl Twelve: Irresistible
He stepped back still smiling as he watched my expression. Was this really the end for me? Was this going to be how I died? "We're leaving in five," He announced to both me and CJ before walking out to the car. I had just watched this man, brutally torturing someone and the next thing was me sitting next to him knowing fully well I had a crush on him and at the same time, I'd become scared of him also. I got changed immediately and got into the car, settling in the backseat with Saint. I felt his eyes never leave me as I sat, looking straight ahead and pulling down my skirt which didn't stop going to my upper thighs. The car started and we headed to the house. After some time, Saint leaned into me once again, my neck and ears feeling his hot breaths on them as he spoke. "You disobeyed me, Jade, sneaking around and all. I have to punish you, you know?" He said softly, almost in a whisper. His deep voice w
Mafia's Little Pearl Thirteen: A party?
He left after we were done with only his lingering scent which stayed back in the room with me to keep me company. I thought about him as I cleaned myself up, wishing he had stayed longer, maybe held me in his arms and maybe even slept together. I kept on replaying sceneries even after I got into the shower and as I fell asleep. I woke up the next day to hear unusual noises coming from the house. I looked from the window to see black cars parked downstairs and more men (minus Saint's guys who always stood and kept tight security) dressed in suits standing attention, keeping guard. I wondered what was going on. I hurriedly had my bath and by the time I was done, I heard an engine come on and rushed back to the window. I saw Saint shake hands with some guy I'd never seen before while CJ hugged him, and then he got into the car and drove off. His other cars followed behind as well while Saint and CJ walked back briskly into the house. I dressed up and opened the door to see CJ, han
Mafia's Little Pearl Fourteen: Party prep
Saint's POVI had slept with her. Again. I needed to get a grip on myself. I had promised myself I wouldn't do so any longer but she kept on tempting me each day, disobeying me even. I had woken up that morning, struggling to bury the thoughts of how warm she had felt when I was inside her and how wet she always was, for me. I knew I didn't like her that way and I wasn't going to in the future either so I was sure everything was just lust, at least for me. And I needed to stop going back for more. The glares from the sun shone on my face just as I reached for my phone to check the time. It was nine in the morning and I had important guests coming soon. I hurriedly prepared for them and soon enough they came. We discussed business and they put me in on getting vital information to use in getting Matrix and might even lead me to Tequila. The dude who was supposed to get me the information in exchange for money was attending the same event I was going to the next day. It was the wel
Mafia's Little Pearl Fifteen: You look beautiful
The next day, the woman from the boutique came over to the house and did my hair and makeup. I thanked her as I admired myself continuously in the mirror saying she did a good job which she smiled sweetly to. She also left behind some shopping bags which she said Saint had told her to bring over. The shopping bag had some purses, clothes, perfumes, shoes and a new phone. I surprisingly opened one bag after the other, wondering why Saint bought all this stuff for me. After that, she left hurriedly saying she needed to be somewhere and she was running late. I sat in my room after going through all the bags and turning on the phone, waiting patiently for when someone would knock and tell me to come downstairs so I can get in my dress and shoes. After a few moments, the new phone buzzed. I checked to see a text from a number. It read 'You can come downstairs if you're ready'. I checked my makeup once again then got into the dress. Then a little problem came up, I couldn't reach the
Mafia's Little Pearl Sixteen: Not as planned
Everywhere looked fancy and expensive. I had not been to a party which looked this way. This was really for the richest of the rich and the elites. I instantly felt out of place even though I was dressed pretty decently. We were escorted to our reserved table after Saint had shown the bouncer at the entrance the invitation card. The party had barely started when we got there. We settled down instantly and I looked around observing the area just the same time Saint did. "Here's pretty much fancy," I told Saint admiring the beautifully arranged decorations. "I agree," He replied still looking around. "Nothing seems suspicious yet." He said again. "Suspicious?" I asked him looking in the same direction as he was. "That's for me to handle. You just do your work." He answered. "Okay," I said reluctantly just as the mic sound came on and the Mc started talking. The party went on with speeches being given and all that. Then we did a toast. After that, everyone just stood around, socia
Mafia's Little Pearl Seventeen: Saving her
Saint's POV I watched her walk towards the guy with the briefcase and then she exchanged it with him. I just couldn't take my eyes off her, just like I had not been able to since I walked into her room to help her zip up. Back in the room when I was alone with her, I had to stop myself from leaning in to kiss her because I knew if I ended up doing so, the night's mission would be ruined.I watched how her dress hugged perfectly to her back as she walked making her look ethereal. She didn't seem nervous so it was almost quite good she was doing the job well. She turned to signal me that she had done the exchange, then left. I texted CJ to be on an alert for her and waited for his response as I drank. "Where's your lady?" Sasha said as she came over again to where I was and ran her fingers down my suit, flirting. I gave her a little smile, "She'll be here soon." I lied, knowing I was not in the mood to flirt with other women. I didn't know what it was, but I felt it was my respons
Mafia's Little Pearl Eighteen: Are you hurt
Jade's povI had made to run away again before the very familiar voice I wanted to hear that night spoke up. "It's me, Jade," Saint said, still covering my mouth. "Don't scream."He removed his hand and I turned to look at his face. I felt a huge relief seeing him and from his expression, it was possible he felt the same way. "Saint..." I trailed off. "I.. uh...still got the briefcase," I said quietly. "I'm sorry I-" "Are you okay?" He asked me lifting my face with his hand and turning it sideways to check for injuries. It was then I noticed how close I was to him with his face a few inches from mine. He touched my temple and looked to see his hand covered in blood. My eyes widened as I did the same gesture and indeed, I was bleeding. I hadn't even noticed that I was and I was sure it was from the mini fight with the guy inside the car. Saint frowned deeply, his eyebrows furrowing together and as I met his eyes, I saw anger apparent in them. "Saint... I'm sorry." I apologized, n

Mafia's Little Pearl Hundred: Epilogue
Jade's pov. "At this point, I could get a rash from you being all over me, yunno." I groaned and Saint nuzzled into me burying his face in my neck. We were naked under the sheets after we'd gone two rounds that late morning and it didn't look like he was letting me go any moment. I felt his smile beneath me and I couldn't help but smile along. He was a clingy man, surprisingly, something I hadn't noticed before and in as much as I complained, I loved it and wished he'd never stop. "All I'm saying is you going to Betty's house can wait a few days. I want you in my arms today." He mumbled like a child. "You said this last week. And the week before. Even yesterday.""One more day won't hurt, would it? Sweetheart?" He asked and then looked at me smiling. He had cut his hair a bit shorter than it used to be so he didn't go around with his man bun any longer because according to him, he had said he wanted to try new things just like I did and if possible, he would dye his hair also. Hi
Mafia's Little Pearl Ninety nine: The end
Jade's pov. Marcel explained to Saint about what had happened and how he had to pretend to work with Matrix in order to kill him. He promised he had never given out any of his information and if at all anything, he had helped save me at the party through Suzy and had called me to warn me the night I thought Suzy died. He said he had come too late and since he was sure that he (Saint) was going to save me, he had saved Suzy. "And the business and route you thrashed?" Saint asked again. I saw he was really trying to understand him because of me and not finish him to the ground. Because the normal Saint would have made Marcel a goner long ago and skipped the whole conversation. I just stood watching the whole thing with my arms together while Saint's men cleared the bodies on the floor. Marcel shook his head. "That wasn't me. That was on Gab. I couldn't put him out to you because we used to be close before you killed him."Saint took a deep breath narrowing his eyes at him. "Gab was
Mafia's Little Pearl Ninety eight: I love you
Jade's pov "Starting with him," Matrix said pointing his gun at Marcel. "And later on, her. Why don't we finish what we started years ago huh?" He asked and smirked darkly. "Would it not be nice to die in the same place your family did? At least that's what I considered before coming here."This man was fucking crazy for bringing up Saint's family. I wanted to strangle him slowly. I hated him. "We?" Saint asked leaning forward, calmer than I expected. And from the time when he had acted this calmly after seeing Serena dead, I knew he was plotting something ruthless already. "You started this mess, Mariano. And I'm going to finish it for you. As for him-" He paused and I saw his eyes go to Marcel who stood beside me, watching also. "I wanted him dead already."I stiffened at his words as I saw him raise a gun to Marcel. Matrix smiled at the gesture and I became scared already. He was going to kill Marcel just as he had told CJ he would anytime he found him. He looked at me for a bri
Mafia's Little Pearl Ninety seven: Villa
Saint's pov. It was night already as we reached the Villa, I made sure each of my men was positioned in groups at each strategic area. We made sure to surround the house because there was no escaping for him today. No matter how many his men were, we were going to outnumber him. The fight was already looking over before it even started. This whole thing had started from his greed. He was younger than my father but older than me. The Guerra family was known to have the largest cartel in the whole of New York and my father had always done well maintaining it. Mariano's family came close to us but could never really measure, we were always better off, stronger, more power, more money and more connections. Head of the Mariano family used to be loyal to my father before he passed away and barely two years later, Matrix had become greedy for the power, plotted with the Fontana family and some others who were ready to be traitors and had started his little game of wiping off the whole Guer
Mafia's Little Pearl Ninety six: Alcohol
Jade's povI lowered my head, pulling my knees to my chest and when the posture seemed painful and impossible because of the hurt, I decided to spread out my legs and lean against the wall. "You've been here since then?" I asked quietly watching her sit up as well. There was silence after my question. I saw her take a deep breath and nod. "Yes." She muttered. "After I texted you that I couldn't meet you, I got taken. You wouldn't know because you didn't bother to text or call me." She accused throwing her face away. I was too hurt and in a lot of pain to start getting angry and trying to pass my point across on why I didn't call her or what I was also going through with Saint. I could have also accused her of not checking up on me as well but I didn't want to, so I let it be. "When did Marcel get taken?" I asked her, switching the topic from being about her. She shook her head, "I can't say exactly. I just saw him randomly after I passed out once from Matrix punching the shit out
Mafia's Little Pearl Ninety five: Matrix 2
Jade's pov"You're lying!" I shouted at Matrix. "My mum isn't dead. She's in China right now. You're a fucking liar." The bitterness at the back of my throat increased and my stomach twisted badly making me want to throw up. He laughed. He fucking laughed at me. Then took a sip of his drink and crossed his legs." Is that what old man Greco told you?" He asked, his eyes filled with amusement. "She never made it to the airport, L'amante di Saint. Your mother died in her car. The only thing she succeeded in was keeping you two safe."He said it so casually that I hated him to the core. Here I was hating my mother for abandoning and running off all these years while my uncle abused me, not knowing she was trying to keep is safe and this demon sitting right in front of me ended up killing her after Dad. My eyes pricked with tears as I watched him, my heart beating against my chest like it would explode. In the past more than twelve hours, my heart had felt more pain than it had ever don
Mafia's Little Pearl Ninety four: Matrix
Jade's pov At this rate, I should seriously start getting awards for every time I get kidnapped, or become unconscious or land in the hands of some people - or the same people- that want me dead. My head hurt a lot as I blinked twice, not opening my eyes yet. I felt my wrists tied together and my legs too tied together at my ankle. I was glad at least they didn't blindfold me. I remembered seeing Lauretta on Saint's thigh and running out, then was grabbed by CJ and finally at the red traffic stop, a car had run into us. And I still didn't believe Marcel was dead. Just like that. I grunted, opening my eyes lightly and letting my vision adjust to the light and surrounding. When I finally adjusted, I sat up and a girl lying beside me and tied just the same way I was, caught my attention. She moved a little and her face came into view which made a gasp to escape from my mouth as I saw who it was. "Suzy?" I said and she opened her eyes to look at me, shaking her head. Her mouth was ta
Mafia's Little Pearl Ninety three: Where
Saint's pov We were already halfway to Matrix's hideout since it was a two-hour ride when I looked at Alessandro like he had just said the most atrocious thing ever. "What do you mean CJ is unreachable?" I asked him, ringing CJ's line from my phone. He had texted me immediately after he found Jade and I had since been waiting for his call to tell me they were safe somewhere, maybe at the house, at any of the hotels I owned or just any place he could think of. But no call came in and my racy thoughts and the unsettling feeling I got made me uneasy with every second that passed by. And I had instructed Alessandro to call him. The same unsettling feeling I got the night of Aunt's death. His phone was switched off and I immediately rang Jade's line but got the same thing at her end. Something had to be wrong. And I hoped Matrix hadn't gotten a hold of them. Or even if he had, I hoped they were at the same location as he was, which was the exact place we were going to. I hated mysel
Mafia's Little Pearl Ninety two: Tonight
Saint's PovThe tears I saw in her eyes as she looked at me in hatred made me risk yanking Lauretta off my thighs and not caring if I ended up dying from the cut on my neck. But the risk was a deadly one because I wouldn't survive if I dared. Lauretta was undeniably good with knives. Her only positive trait if I may add. I heard Lauretta giggle and grind herself a little more as she turned and locked eyes with Jade. She was making sure Jade thought we were doing whatever it looked like we were doing. I took that opportunity of her distraction to stretch my hands to the gun and grab it lightly, feeling her hand a bit loose on my neck. But that still didn't stop the pain that was springing out from there which made me know the knife had cut me a little. Jade turned around and hurried out, banging the door behind her just as I corked the gun in my hand, putting it to Lauretta's head. I called out her name, determined to end Lauretta and run after her immediately. Lauretta turned to
