Mafia's Lost Princess 103
IsabellaHe said he'd meet us at the aerodrome. Miguel sighed as he put his phone down. "Where is that?" I asked."It's a relatively new establishment," Julio explained. "It's nothing in particular, but it can be a very discreet area.”“Why are we meeting there? There's almost nothing out there." He turned his face towards Miguel, who smirked and looked away. I had come to accept that silence was a good thing in instances like this."What's next?" I asked Julio, who had a sour expression on his face."We wait. We wait and get ready for the next two days. Hopefully, we won't have any funny business from now till then. Let's just try to keep things quiet until we're ready to go." His words would resonate in my mind for the next two days.I had no clothes to pack, so leaving was relatively easy. Paula and I gorged ourselves on Joseph's impeccable cooking. He seemed rather sad to watch Julio leave but didn't express much feelings when it was obvious that Paula was with Michael. We said ou

DamonNecessity is said to be the mother of invention. My necessity required me to call in all my scattered men. Leaving to search for Isabella had caused me to spread my resources too thin, leading to multiple attacks because of her—not that I was blaming her.The speedboat took me straight to the harbor and then to a private dock of the house of a friend of mine, Dante."Dante," I greeted with a smile as I got out of the speedboat, accompanied by Alessandro."It's good to see you, My King," Dante said with a slight bow."I've heard of your exploits. Is it true you have found her?" Dante asked, still bowing. I stopped in front of him, clicking my tongue and waiting for him to stop the act."How long are you going to keep this up?" I asked, feigning impatience, which he bought into all too quickly. He got up and smiled at me, his dark blue eyes crinkling at the edges."I'm sorry. It's just too good sometimes," he said, leading me into his house with Alessandro trailing behind."I've h

DamonWaiting for me was the house staff, whom I directed to have things ready for Isabella's arrival in the next couple of days.“Cross check and give me a status report when you're done. Have Marie attend to her personally. She's coming in today, i dont want anything out of place.” I told the white-haired man that was my butler.“Immediately, Sir.” He said in a clear voice. “Will they be all sir? he asked.“No.” The butler gave me a deep bow before retreating through the double doors of the front entrance. "Get me my mask and a black suit," I directed to the nearest staff member, who ran as fast as his feet could take him. Moments later, he returned with a suit holder and a black box under his arm. I opened the black box and found a replica of my mask as well as a bundle of black gloves."It will have to do for now." In the bag was my signature black suit that I chose to wear for occasions such as the meeting that was coming up soon. I gave the boy a nod and tossed him a bill befor

Damon“Was there no problem on the way?" I asked as I rubbed her thigh in the car. She shook her head, her complexion slightly better in the air-conditioned environment."I'm just sad that I didn't get to see the city. But at least, in a way, I'm grateful that I didn't get to see it, you know? No problems and all that." I rubbed her thigh some more, feeling my heart rate return to normal."Can you take that off?" she asked, most likely referring to the mask."You don't like it?" I asked, and she gave me a sheepish look."It muffles your voice, and I can't see your eyes. I like seeing your eyes," she whispered the last part."Where are we going?" she asked, immediately trying to change the subject, but her little confession had raised my heart rate again. This woman would be the death of me."My residence. It's secure, isolated. There's nowhere else you would be safer," I said as I took off my mask and turned my face towards her so she could see my eyes.Isabella blushed and quickly tu

IsabellaThe lady had called it a manor, but I called it a castle. After all, it was a castle. I hadn't remember seeing it when I was younger, but I remember my father speaking of it once or twice. "Who was the previous owner?" I asked the lady, whose name was Marie. She was a middle-aged woman with salt and pepper blonde hair that was pulled back from her face into a professional-looking bun.She was dressed in a black skirt suit that stopped at her knees, as well as a pair of black pumps that made clicking sounds as she walked the marbled hallways of the castle."It belonged to the previous mafia king, Marcel Montenegro," she said. "Of course, this means that it was mostly lost and auctioned after your uncle came into power, but the current mafia king bought it."Suddenly, my eyes caught a portrait. It was of a meadow that reminded me of the one that my father used to take me to when I was much younger. It was dusted with lavender flowers mixed with others that I didn't remember wh

IsabellaHe led me through the expansive grounds until we settled in what was the most interesting garden spot I had ever seen as he spoke some more.There were rocks upon rocks with slabs on top of them serving as tables and chairs. Paula already sat on one of them, staring at a cup of tea. I took a seat beside her, wondering how the rocks were suddenly so comfortable."Thank you. Let's continue some other time," I told Briggs, who smiled, tipped his glasses, and walked off."This place is amazing, right?" Paula asked, light twinkling in her eyes."Pretty much," I said as I picked up a cup of tea and began to stir. "Worried about him again?" she asked, hitting the nail on the head."I'm scared, worried, tired. I'm all of them. But in some way, I feel like I can finally breathe and relax. All the running we did the past few weeks, all the injuries the past few months... It's been so hectic, and I feel like I need to spend the next few days sleeping."Paula nodded in response and took

Isabella Tomorrow arrived with a lack of sleep for me due to the excitement I felt. It went without saying that I tossed and turned all through the night, thinking about what the day would bring. I only managed to get a couple of hours of sleep before I heard a knock on my door. Even after picking an outfit and trying to get the dark circles under my eyes to disappear, I still looked like a zombie. "Paula," I said into my phone, "can you help me please? I look terrible." Paula's voice sounded groggy, but her face, when she came into my room, showed otherwise. She sat me down at the vanity and started to tinker around with some of the things in the cabinet. She rubbed a few things under my eyes and asked me if I wanted some makeup. "No," I said, earning a surprised look from her. "Why not?" "If I touch my eyes... I'll get stuff all over my hands," I said with a yawn. "If I'm going to get you to stop looking like a zombie, I'm going to have to put on some makeup, even if it's jus

DamonIt took me a few moments to feel the weight of Isabella's hand on my thigh, pulling me back to reality. Sergio was taking liberties, but suddenly I remembered that I wasn't wearing my mask, and hence I was only in the room as a right-hand man, not the current mafia King. "She's no weaker than you are. Say it again. You would do well to respect the person in front of you," I said after a moment of heated silence in the room."I was just about to say that," George said with a smile on his easy face. "Of course, the princess has just returned from her exile, and there is no telling what troubles she might have faced in the past. Perhaps it is too much to ask of her to show us what she can do for us, rather than us tabling forward what we can do for her," George said.His eyes went to the man called Sergio, who flanked me, and the two shared a mutual understanding before Andrew spoke up in a smooth voice that reminded me of Alessandro."I second that. I believe it is too much for
