Mafia's Little Pearl Seventy six: Unsettling feeling
Saint's pov. I felt uneasy and I didn't like it. Not at all. As I marched to the car, lightening up a cigarette, I thought a lot if I should just remain with Aunt and Jade instead. But CJ was in bad condition and I needed to go to the site immediately. I was keeping my crossed fingers and hoping the more guys I sent to the aunt's store would take care of whatever situation arose. They were a lot, and I made sure they were not going to be outnumbered come what may. CJ was supposed to meet with buyers that evening and I was supposed to go with him but he ended up going alone and the buyers turned out to be some piece of shit resulting in an unplanned fight which took him by surprise. I took a deep breath, feeling the whole air with smoke from the cigarette and hoping the buyers knew what it implied to start a fight with someone I had sent and to end up stabbing him severely. Not to say, a member of the Guerra family. I arrived at the site and it was a bloody mess. CJ limped to me by
Mafia's Little Pearl Seventy seven: Ice cold
Jade's Pov. Relief. That was what I felt. A whole lot of it. Tears rolled down my cheeks yet again and I was just so overwhelmed. Next thing, I heard a gunshot and instantly, Elijah let go of my head and staggered backwards cursing out loud. I fell to my side and groaned out, holding my abdomen. I saw the bald guy and the rest of the guys charge towards Saint and his men but clearly, they were outnumbered and it didn't look like it would be long before they were overtaken. Saint fired one more shot at Elijah. "Get all of them alive and take them to the dead hole." He ordered as he raced over to where I was. "Jade, shit." He said as he crouched down to where I lay, glancing around. "Saint..." I managed to say looking up at him. He helped me up and carried me closer to the wall to lean my back on it gently. "Those assholes..."He trailed off, wiping the tears that were running across my face. His eyebrows were furrowed together and his face was visibly red with anger." Are you alr
Mafia's Little Pearl Seventy eight-Picana
Saint's Pov. "Fucking kill me already!!!" Elijah cursed as he spat out blood. "Fucking do it!! This is worse than death. You're worse than the devil!!" "You still being able to talk shows I'm not doing enough," I said back to him, grabbing his foot that was bloody from previously plucking out all his toenails. He shook his head, trying to move backwards but obviously could not because of how tightly tied to the seat he was. I twisted his leg backwards, took out a knife and slit his Achilles heel which made him yell out. I wasn't moved or touched or feeling any remorse. In fact, I couldn't feel anything at all. I had been numb ever since I saw Aunt in her pool of blood and the shitty memory I've been trying to bury ever since resurfaced again. And I couldn't get my mind off Matrix either. I took his other leg and slit it too and he screamed louder than the first time which made me take a deep breath at him. I was just getting started. Every time the scene of him holding Jade an
Mafia's Little Pearl Seventy nine: Can you not?
Jade's pov. "Saint, it's me," I said quietly, knocking on his door. He didn't open up the first time which made me repeat myself. I waited for some time with crossed fingers before his door finally opened and I met his eyes, for the first time since the previous night.I saw he was in a new shirt which had some blood stains on it and his lips were downturned in a frown. He didn't look stressed but he didn't look good at all. "You shouldn't be up and walking around right now." He said to me in a flat tone before I could even speak. I swallowed hard before responding, "I...I wanted to make food." He ran a hand over his face, "I'll get one of the guys to do it. Go back to your room." It was more like an order than him saying it out of worry. "I'm better now. I can-" "Jade." He said cutting me off. His expression turned stern and he straightened his posture. He then took a large breath before continuing. "I'll tell one of the guys to do it."He was trying to hold himself back from
Mafia's Little Pearl Eighty: Mr Guerra
Saint's pov I left the basement angrily, feeling the smoke coming out of my ears. Fucking Elijah wasn't speaking and even though he was already half dead, his lips were still sealed. The lackey that had been searching for Tequila had said he had gotten a signal from him a day before and it wouldn't be long before he got found. That was good news, but it wasn't the news I wanted to hear that day. I wanted to finish what I had started and wanted to do it soon, killing everyone who had a hand in Aunt's death but I needed to know where they were first; Lauretta from the Fontana family and the remaining of the Mariano family which were Matrix and his younger brother. And after then, I could wait till whenever the fuck Tequila would show up. I had left early that morning after watching over Jade as she slept just like every other night, making sure she was okay. And now I was back to the house earlier than I usually am. I was furious and needed to let the anger out in any way I could. A
Mafia's Little Pearl Eighty one: Suit yourself
Jade's povThe days ran slowly after that. My injuries were already healed and I felt so much better. CJ hadn't come to the house since after the funeral and the doctor had gone back to his place. Saint's guys at the house were fewer than they usually were and he came home every late night and most times before I woke up. I didn't see Alessandro or the old man after the funeral either and the house just felt lonely, silent and empty with just me inside. I thought of every way to get closer to Saint and even texted him on a few occasions asking when he would be home but he never responded to any of them and soon enough, I found myself lying on the couch in the living room upstairs, waiting for him to come back home every night. I couldn't lie also, I missed him like hell. I missed him so much that I thought I would go crazy. I was lying down as usual stopping the sleep that was coming with a lot of force when I heard cars drive in. I knew instantly he was the one and waited eagerly
Mafia's Little Pearl Eighty two: Drunk
Jade's povI didn't hear him leave his room the next morning. Or rather, he left before I woke up. The headache I got from crying myself to sleep was starting to decrease as I turned in my bed thinking of the previous night's incident. He hadn't even come after me when I walked to my room. And damn him for that because that hurt as well. I remembered also he smelt of alcohol and cigarette and as foolish and desperate as I was, I chose to conclude that he might have been drunk the previous night. Evening came and as I made my food, I ended up making him something as well so he'd eat before going to sleep in case he came back late. I lied to myself that I was going to go back to my room and leave a quick note for him next to the food, but here I was, on the couch just like the previous day, waiting yet again for him. Time passed by, slowly and he didn't come back and when I had started to give up and walk back to my room, I heard his footsteps coming up the stairs. They weren't qui
Mafia's Little Pearl Eighty three: I'm leaving
Jade's povThe sun rays didn't hit my face this morning and I was glad as I stretched lazily on the bed not opening my eyes. I rolled my body sideways to cuddle at the other part of the bed and the next place I found myself was on the floor face front with a loud thud. I winced flashing my eyes wide open and glancing around me. I wasn't in my room, I was in the living room. I had slept off there and Saint wasn't there. I hissed flipping off the floor and standing up while rubbing my forehead which hurt a little from the fall. I got to the kitchen and saw the food I made the previous night was still left untouched. I sighed reaching for a bottle of water from the fridge. After gulping the whole can, I threw away the food and walked to my room. Everything Saint told me the previous night left me thinking and I saw him in a different light. He was forced to grow up and fight for power by nineteen, toughen himself up and take his revenge as well and I knew that even though my situation

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
