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 Nineteen: Being delusional
Jade's PovI opened my eyes slowly, looking around. My head hurt pretty badly. I looked around and realised I was in my room at Saint's house. The memory of me losing consciousness jogged back making me sigh. "You're awake." I heard Saint say from beside me to my utmost surprise. "Yeah." I nodded gently. "My head still hurts."He stretched slowly. "It would be gone in no time, don't worry too much."He was still wearing his black shirt and trousers from the party and looked stressed. Like he had been awake for a long time and I saw treatment equipment on the table there. I noticed I was out of my dress also and now in a comfortable T-shirt, I didn't remember owning. "I changed you... The dress seemed uncomfortable to sleep in." He said rubbing the back of his head. "Thanks," I replied, knowing he had seen me naked already and there was nothing really to hide. "You were here all night?" I asked again as he stood up. "Yeah. Had to make sure you were okay." He answered. His words
Mafia's Little Pearl Chapter Twenty: Make him Jealous
I sat on the chair at the countertops at the bar downing alcohol. I hated this feeling. I wanted to be the one on Saint's thighs and have his hands deep in my dress. I hated that he was with her and I hated that it felt like I was trying too hard. I hated the jealousy that burned in my heart with rage at just the thought of her and him together. Just the other day, he had called me his woman and was angry that I got hurt and then what now? He was acting differently?I scoffed. I took more gulps of the alcohol, scanning the room. It was of no use sitting around and getting angry over him when in fact I could do exactly what he was doing. We weren't together of course and it meant I could do whatever with whomever I wanted. I was prepared to go wild and of course, make him fucking jealous as well. If he was playing games with me, then he wasn't the only one who knew how to play them. I was going to make him jealous and get a reaction out of him. If that was what he wanted. I took a l
Mafia's Little Pearl Twenty one: I own you
Baby girl? That was the first time he was calling me that. He stepped closer towards me making me take a step backwards as well. "Got some cheap ass dude to make out with right?" He asked, the anger in his eyes becoming less obvious. I swallowed hard without saying anything, just watching him all through. "You know sweetie, I hate people touching what I own."He said as he stepped closer once more and before I knew it, my back was pressed against the wall. He smirked at this as he stepped closer again, looking down at my face as he towered over me, leaving just a little space between us. His arms were on both sides of the wall trapping me in between them while he watched as my breath increased with nervousness and a little excitement. He then ran a little finger trail from my chin, stopping briefly on my lips and then down to my cleavage. "You were trying to be rebellious, weren't you? Huh?" "I wasn't." I lied, in the most quiet voice I could use. Almost whispering. "Liar." He
Mafia's Little Pearl Twenty two: Talk with Marcel/ Dead hole
I stared at my phone shocked and dumbfounded as the text with his name stayed on my screen. Marcel? Finally appearances out of nowhere? Before I could think further, he texted again, 'Don't let anybody know I'm texting you. Most especially, Saint'.I looked around and saw CJ waiting to take me home. How in the wild world did Marcel even know Saint had me? Just how? I texted him back telling him let's talk when it's safe and then left with CJ for the house. All through the ride back, I just kept wondering where Marcel was, how he had been holding up if he knew two gangs of men were looking for him and even most importantly if he knew his dad was dead. It was a whole lot to think about and I just couldn't wait to talk to him. We finally reached the house and I scurried inside with only the thought of Marcel in my head. Once I was in my room, I shut the door and immediately dialled the number. After a few rings, he picked up. "Jade?" His voice made me almost teary as I heard it. I h
Mafia's Little Pearl Twenty three: I'm done punishing you
What the fuck were you doing down here Jade?" He asked again when I didn't reply the first time. I stared at him, unable to say anything. The scene of him pulling the trigger and watching the man go instantly lifeless kept on replaying in my head. I shook my head at him, looking away. Whatever it was he wanted to do, I was going to let him do it. I had come to see him because I had missed him but If I wasn't going to leave here alive, I didn't think I cared at this moment. He had the sleeves of his black shirt loosely rolled up and I could get a glimpse of the writing on his left arm which I had seen unclearly once. It was a tattoo that spelt 'survive' but was written in a stylish font that made it almost impossible to decode. He took out a handkerchief from his back pocket and wiped the top of his shoe, cleaning out the blood splatter. Then stood up and came to stand in front of me, towering over me like he did every other time. His eyes bored into mine as he took out his gun (h

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
