Mafia’s Plaything (#1 of Mafia Series) 43
43. RIVALS OF LUST~PAMELA"How will you return Al's car, Frank, because I do not think we are coming back," I asked Frank as I caught sight of where we were."There is a tracker in the car, she will come find it when I let her know we're done with it," Frank said.Frank parked a block from the port area and killed the engine of a vintage Mustang."We walk from here, Ms. Hallway, our boat is just a block away," Frank said as he opened his door. I did the same and together we headed for the yacht.The temptation to run as far as my legs could carry me was overwhelming. It seemed like the right moment to make a break for it. However, I did not doubt Frank catching up to me.The two of us moved with urgency. I had a feeling that Frank was slowing down his stride because it was almost difficult to keep up with him due to his long legs.My heart was hammering in my chest as I walked with Stephan's right-hand man. I was frightened of being seen by the so-called ring squad even though I h

44. THE QUEEN'S DAUGHTER~STEPHANTo be honest, Elizabeth Croft was not what I expected. She was lively and bubbly sort of like a princess. I knew she was deliberately making her moves on me to get Pamela riled up.It was fun to see that Pamela could get jealous. Up until now, I had wondered if she was genuine about whatever she felt for me. But now I was a little convinced. A little.I knew that Pamela was plotting how she could escape me. That was why I paired her up with my right-hand man. I could not deny that I was enjoying her jealous rage."It's a nice boat, Baron Delmundo," Elizabeth complimented in her cheery tone."Please, call me Stephan, I think we are passed the formality," I said to her."Then call me Liz, it's what my friends call me," She responded coyly."So we are friends now?" I asked in amusement. Her mother just tried to kill me moments ago."I know that we got off on the wrong foot, My mother prefers to deal with her problems with a permanent solution," Elizabeth

45. THE ISLAND QUEEN~STEPHANWater guards? More like a covert black ops team. They looked deadly and efficient. Miss Queen was not playing around, I guessed that was why she was revered.We alighted from the yacht and had to part with our weapons, we were guests after all. I also saw it as no reason to start a fight. Trust was not an easy thing."This could be a trap boss, they are leading us to our deaths," Frank gruffly muttered to me as we walked side by side.I knew that he was more concerned about parting with his babies but little sacrifices had to be made.The Island had sparse mountains and lots of forest."Beautiful place," I said."Wait till you see the waterfalls," Elizabeth said more to me than my Pamela or Frank."There is more than one Waterfall?" I asked in genuine surprise."It is a big island, Stephan. Mom spent a lot of money on this place," Elizabeth said, sounding almost proud of her mother."I will take it from here guys," Elizabeth announced to the masked armor

46. THE QUEEN'S TALE~STEPHAN DELMUNDOI saw where Liz got her beauty from. Her mother was stunning to behold at her age. I was pretty good at guessing people's age but the mother of Elizabeth seemed ageless.It was hard to believe that she was Elizabeth's mother. She wore a white Chanel gown that flowed behind her and flat pumps. She looked like the mature version of her daughter.The room fell silent as she walked into the living room in a regal manner. I spotted an expensive pearl necklace around her neck and knew that she came from old money.Frank being the gentleman stood up out of respect and decency. Pamela stood up also but I did not, last time I remembered, this bitch sent a death squad after me. Therefore, I remained seated.The queen sat across from us. Frank and Pamela sat down. The tension in the air was tight, so tight, a razor could cut it. The silence was even more intense. Just how I like it.The queen had a permanent condescending look on her face. It felt like she

47. ONE ON ONE WITH THE QUEEN~PAMELA I could not stand Elizabeth's pompous ass, that much was certain. We were never going to see eye to eye as long as Stephan was involved. What I did not understand was why he wanted me here on this island.What I felt for Lady Croft on the other hand was fear and uneasiness. She has this dangerous aura around her so I was cautious with the way I spoke with her.She led me up the ivory marble spiral stairs to one of the rooms in the manor. I took the liberty to look around for more details about the interior design. I wondered how much money she was worth."Pamela, is it? Tell me how you ended up with Delmundo," Her voice tore into my thoughts."It is kind of long and complicated," I said trying to avoid revealing anything else that might put me in more trouble than I already was."We have time, Pamela," Lady Croft firmly insisted.I already knew the kind of person she was, the kind that the word NO was not in their vocabulary. Women like her alway

48.TWO ON TWO WITH THE QUEEN AND HER PRINCESS I~PAMELAWithout much thought, I hugged Stephan and held on to him tightly. He stroked my hair and held me firmly but gently. I swooned into his body and held on in contentment.Then he shattered my bliss into pieces with his next words."Pamela, There is also a rumor about her," I groaned."She never gives up and trust me when I say that she will be back," He told me as he stroked my hair."And of course, I shall be busy fighting off crafty Elizabeth Croft," He jokingly said."That is not funny Stephan," I whined and hit him lightly and playfully."Let us go somewhere private, Show me our room," He said huskily and a hot tingle coursed through me and down my spine.I grabbed him by the arm and pulled him after me in a very eager manner. I was shameless in using him as my shield against the Lady. I was afraid that I would succumb to her."I can taste your fear Pamela and they can taste it too, and they will exploit that to get what they c

49.A GAME OF ULTIMATE DESIRE ~DELMUNDOEvery one of us on this planet has a mission no matter how big or small. My mission was to come out of my father's shadow but that was easier said than done.Every decision I made from the day I made Pamela mine was to be a different man from my father. He never loved my mother, he just wanted her womb.To date, I do not know where she went or disappeared. It was one of the reasons I kept a close watch on Pamela.I am not a good guy or a hero. I am a survivor who wants to stay at the top of the food chain for as long as I can or till I become slow and a bullet puts me out of my misery.I had purposely left Pamela with Lady Croft so I could ask her what transpired. I wanted to understand the kind of woman Croft was. Fortunately, Pamela told me what I needed to know without me saying a single word.The dining room also had large bookshelves filled with all types of editions of old manuscripts and maps. I spotted Dante Alighieri's inferno. It w

50. A GAME OF ULTIMATE DESIRES II.~DELMUNDO Whatever sick joke Lady Croft was playing did nothing to amuse me. What she said last caught me off guard and I was not one to be easily shocked or rattled.I turned back and returned to my seat."I am not sure what I heard so I am going to give you a chance to prove me wrong," I said in a serious tone while staring straight at them."I knew your mother, Stephan, before you were conceived," Lady Croft repeated. Sometimes, her confidence annoyed it but it was what made her who she was."And you chose to reveal this to me after I refused your proposal?" I asked, trying to calm myself."I am a businesswoman, Stephan. No hard feelings," Croft said coldly.She was right, my feelings were all over the place. I chuckled bitterly and shook my head. This whole thing caught me off guard.A question popped up in my head."What is the role of the Marquis in all these and why did he have to die?" I asked Croft."His role was exactly how he played it,

Mafia’s Plaything (#1 of Mafia Series) 121
~PamelaI joined Georgia and the ravens in the house as the last line of defense in case the men outside fail to repel Dwayne's men. I endured many minutes of gun shots and death cries. The door was being hit with bullets but it did not penetrate through the door.I realized in terror they Stephan was out there among those flying bullet. It took all the will in my body not to run outside to Stephan. More gun shots and shouting took place outside while I stayed inside almost losing my mind at the thought of Stephan dying."We should be out there, helping," Minerva grumbled "Yet we are in here shaking in our boots, while the men have all the fun," She complained.I did not want to agree with her but she was right. However, Georgia shut her down."This is not battle of the sexes, Minerva, we all have a roll to play here and we will," She said in a stern voice.Minerva did not have any time to reply before a deafening and earth shattering explosion rocked everyone to the ground. The force

~DelmundoThis was the first time I would spill blood for someone whom I loved.The was the first time that I fought for someone instead of something. This was the first time I was fighting for a cause. For legacy, for brotherhood, for family, and as hard as it was to believe, love.I, Frank, Georgia and Pamela sat in the dining room hatching our own plan of action. Minerva had bad new."They outnumber us three to two," She said in a serious tone."What does that mean?" Pamela asked with an innocent demeanor.I stifled a laugh. "Means they outnumber us a hundred times our two hundred men in the area," Frank said."But we still have the advantage though, we know he is coming," I said."There is a way to give us a fair advantage but it will mean that one person is not joining the fight," I said."And who is that going to be?" Minerva asked, looking ready to protest if it was her."Frank, it's going to have to be you," I said."And what will I be doing, Boss, if I am not out there rippin

~DelmundoI could not bear to watch her go.I could not witness anyone leaving me again. I had sat on the sofa watching the bed that Pamela used to sleep in. A concerned Georgia, every chance she got, would come and check up on me.I could not blame her for doing so, after the whole thing with the pistol. She was checking to see if I did not have any suicidal urge which I assured her that I didn't. However, she had insisted on checking and I agreed to keep her mind at rest.It was going to be hell trying to live my life without Pamela, but I had been through one before. It was going to be a long road to healing from this pain I was feeling. I had begged frank to help me see her home safely. I was afraid that I would develop difficulties when it was actually time to free her.The next best thing that gave me some modicum of sanity was this room. Her scent was everywhere in the room and it felt like she marked her territory before she left. I took in her odors and aura as I sat. Even th

PamelaI left Delmundo mansion that day. I did not know how he did it but a loading truck had pulled up in front of the house. Men in moving uniform were taking my belongings into the truck and I was downstairs in the living room with Georgia.She looked sad to see me go but believed that the right thing was happening. It was better for everyone this way. Stephan was nowhere to be found but I knew that her could not bear to see me leave him again for the second time. The moving men were already done so I gave Georgia a long overdue hug."I do not know how to thank you enough, please do no miss me too much," I said to her as tears threatened to fall from my eyes."Take good care of yourself, Pamela and do not forget me too quickly," She said. I nodded and let her go. I turned to the entrance and found Minerva waiting and looking a little bit downcast."Hey, I do not like you much but still, it sucks to see you go," She said and gave me a hard pat on the back."Thank you?" I said. Miner

PamelaHe got me a new phone and told me that I could call whoever I wanted. There were no restrictions. That gesture was the most tempting of his offers but I was not going to give in. He knew that I was itching to talk to people and by people, I meant my friend Tiana.It would be an opening for him to dominate me and it will start that rollercoaster of a toxic love. A hot, sensual, debauched and addictive toxic love. I hated him so much and I loved him as deeply as well.It had been a painful revelation to me when Stephan told me what Dwayne did. I knew that I was a chess piece in his bloody game of war but to go to that extent. I tried to imagine the emotional pain Stephan had gone through just seeing that dress.When he told me, I ran upstairs and cried into my pillow. Stephan had said it to get a reaction but he would not see me break. He said it to hurt me. That had always been that problem. Him, taking your space and body and giving you pain returnStephan Delmundo sucked at lo

PamelaAs the days under his tyranny grew longer, I grew colder toward him.I had lived with two different types of men and I could tell the stark difference. Dwayne had been patient even though I was not into him that way.Stephan was suffocating and always hovering around. He had taught me something unknowingly and that was to always observe people. Now the more I looked at him, in silent observation and dull eyes, the more I saw him.These past few days had been very difficult to be around him. All those times when he had been forcing me to speak to me, caressing, cajoling, coaxing, begging. I had wanted to give in. For a Mafia lord, he was very good with words. The way he begged me was alluring and tempting."Let me into your high tower, Pamela, it's cold outside," He had once rumbled in my ear. I was not prepared for it. It had taken place in the bathroom. He said while our bodies touched. Then, I had almost succumbed to his hypnotic words but I managed to snap out of it.I wante

~DelmundoIt became an unhealthy habit to orbit around Pamela. The things that I bought her were ignored and abandoned in the corner of the room. Georgia helped me rouse her from bed today again because she just laid still and stared at nothing.It became an unwanted routine. I will try to break the ice and she would in return give me the cold shoulder. Truth be told, I was running out of options and I could not think of a new way to get through to her. Eat, sleep, and bathe. That was all she did.She talked to Georgia but she would not speak to me and as ridiculous as it sounded, it made me so jealous to see Pamela open up to her and not me. Today like yesterday, she was still on the bed and silently so. I sought out Georgia again for a new set of advice.This time I found her in the kitchen making hot soup that had a chicken-flavored aroma. It was midday and I had just given Frank the usual order to be on the lookout for anything suspicious. I had no doubt Cage was on the move. I co

DelmundoI left her room confused and concerned.QIt was going to be tough not to hear her voice again but it was more than not talking. She showed no interest about leaving the room or getting off the bed. Since I was not getting through to her, I decided that a couple of gifts could change her mood.There was just one problem, I had no idea what could cheer her up so I did the next best thing, something I never thought that I would ever do in a long time. I sought out Georgia at the garden in the back yard. She was tending to the koi fishes in the pond.She had a forlorn expression on her face as she went about her work. Something was up with Georgia too. I could never understand how emotions applied to women, they were always a big mystery to me."What seems to be the problem, master Stephan? You have been standing there for a while," Georgia said as she threw crumbs of feed into the pond. I saw the colorful fishes flutter about to eat the crumbs."I need your help, Georgia," I tol

DelmundoGetting her back into my life did not feel as good as I thought it would be. The victory felt more like a loss to me. Although I had her back, I felt like I had lost something in return. I did not want to admit but it scared me when I saw the light dim in her usually bright eyes.It terrified me because, I was responsible for what she was going through. When I had taken her back from Dwayne's territory, she had passed out from the shock, pain and stress. She was out unconscious until night fall. I might have struck her too hard but not enough to leave a mark or bruise.I knew that she was going through some form of headache but was just proving tough. I hovered by her room listening for any sounds to see if whether she was sleeping or awake but I heard nothing. Her behavior had me worried. I was too pumped up to sleep so I stayed awake all through the night.I paced back and forth the hall till I could not take it anymore. I was curious about what she was up to so I gently pu
