CHAPTER NINETY-FOUR:

Carlo's POV:

My lips still tingled from the kiss as I watched her sleep.

Memories from earlier played like a loop in my head… I wasn't stupid, I could see it, could read it clearly in her eyes.

She was developing feelings for me.

It should have me running the other way since I hated complications like that but it only seemed to draw me closer to her. Ironic how I'd cut ties with my mistresses in the past for becoming a little bit attached, let alone developing feelings.

Why do I keep breaking my rules for her? Why do I let her move past my boundaries every single time?

I think it has always been this way between us… Even from the very beginning, I'd always let things slide with her.

What do I do now that I know she had these… these feelings?

It wasn't love, of course it wasn't. A bit of an exaggeration to call it that but the feelings were there… Probably infatuation?

If it was then I should probably enjoy it while it lasted—enjoy?

Madonna.

  • Mafia’s Property.   Ninety-Five: A surprise.

    Natalia's POV: Breakfast ended and Carlo slipped out of the dining room even before anyone else could while the maids cleared out the table. My fingers itched to grab my phone and go through his texts but that wasn't possible, not with Ava tugging at the hem of my oversized band-tee asking me to play Candy Crush with her on her iPad—did I mention that Carlo got her one so she could also study with it? Probably not, but he did and I still didn't know how to react to the way he does things for Ava.I felt another strong pull at my shirt. “Nattyyyyyyyyyyyy,” Ava whined, wiggling against me like a snake. Dear lord, not today, not now when I so badly wanted to talk to Carlo and I couldn't just open his texts in public for obvious reasons.“Ava,” I began softly, making my voice as sweet as possible. “I'll join you shortly, I promise. I just need to check something real quick.” I tried to reason with her but I guess today was my unlucky day. “Nope!” She said sharply with a pout. “You sa

  • Mafia’s Property.   Ninety-Six: First Times ;)

    Natalia's POV: “Oh, and our names are Elsa.” She pointed to her face, grinning widely. “And she's Anthonia.” She gestured to the taller lady with a platinum blonde buzz cut haircut.“You could just call me, Tonia,” the taller lady quickly added, giving her shorter friend a glare. “Alright, we don't have much time left, let's get started.” She slipped past me into the room without waiting for an invitation much to my surprise.Elsa brushed past me next. “Just ignore her, she's always this bossy.” I shot her a weird look and she shrugged, walking further into my bedroom.Unable to say a word since I was still reeling from the word, ‘Date,’ I shut my door, turning back to face the two strange ladies who now occupied my bedroom.Antonia or Tonia, was setting up a high-top chair in front of my dress while Elsa helped set up a big studio light.“You said it was a date?” I asked, unable to stop myself and paused, their eyes landing on me. Elsa frowned. “Yes?”From Carlo? This made no sens

  • Mafia’s Property.   Ninety-Seven: The Date.

    Carlo's POV: As soon as she stepped foot outside the mansion, I just knew she was behind me. Maybe it was the way warmth pooled in my stomach or how my skin prickled—and it wasn't from the cool evening breeze… I just knew.I turned around slowly and my breath caught in my throat as eyes landed on her.I could tell she was nervous, a little shy but not uncomfortable… But most importantly, she was drop dead gorgeous and that was mildly putting it.Natalia has always been beautiful. She had the face most models would kill for, blue eyes that could seem almost dark from certain angles, pink, soft, full lips with a perfectly shaped cupid bow. Her lashes were long enough to cast shadows on her cheeks. To cut the long story short, she was EXQUISITE. And today, with the makeup and the way her long, black, silky mane had been styled into a ponytail made her look angelic.My heart started beating fast again as she made careful, calculated steps toward me. Her wide, prominent hips swayed slight

  • Mafia’s Property.   Ninety-Eight: The Date (2)

    CHAPTER NINETY-EIGHT: Natalia's POV: The word ‘nervous’ doesn't begin to describe what I was feeling right now. Why was I nervous? I wished I had the answer to that and somehow, I just couldn't keep my mouth shut. I knew I'd caught him off-guard with words and how I'd behaved with him but I really had this urge to be so close to him. To attach myself to him and never let go.Crap.I stole one quick glance at Carlo again, my heart flipping as I drank in the sight of him.Hot damn. The man looked good in the dark, navy blue tuxedo he had on. I also noticed that his beard had been recently trimmed neatly, his dark hair too had been styled to perfection—I mean, it's always styled but it looked like an extra effort had been put into styling it this time.Did he do all that just to impress me on a date? Naaa, that was silly.Carlo didn't care about impressing me, right? Right.For the rest of the ride down to our destination, I kept to myself, picking at the shiny gem stones on my dress

  • Mafia’s Property.   Ninety-Nine: The Date (3)

    Natalia's POV: Fine. I can not handle this shit. But I'd rather drink sewage water than admit it to Carlo. We'd only had two glasses before our meals arrived but I could swear I could see everything in doubles—or maybe I was just being dramatic. Hopefully, eating would help keep me sober. Couldn't say how true that was since I was almost done with my food and still felt funny…. I stuffed another piece of the seasoned grilled chicken into my mouth when I noticed his eyes on me. My eyes met his, and I noticed he had barely touched his food but it seemed like he was done eating. “What? “Tell me about yourself.” My eyes widened slightly as I dropped my fork in a dramatic clang against the ceramic plate. “You did not just ask me that.” And out of nowhere! He frowned, brows knitting together. “I did. Is there a problem?” Well, considering the fact that you already know everything about me…I'd say… yes. “It's weird.” “Weird?” He arched a brow, a puzzled expression etched on

    Song rec: Moth To A Flame -The Weeknd.Carlo's POV: If I was being honest, tonight had been so much fun. Much more fun than I expected it to be—maybe except for the fact that Enzo gave me the wrong tips on how our date should go which led to the game…That game had been a little childish—don't care if she called me an ancestor, it was childish. But… It I had fun. Probably the most fun I've had in my thirty-five years on earth. And maybe I'd never admit it to anyone but I didn't mind spending more time with Natalia.She made me feel alive, made me feel like I deserved to be happy even though I know that it was impossible for someone like me. People like me don't stay happy for long and people like me don't mingle with people like her.She was light where I was darkness. The calm after a storm where I was the raging storm itself. Like blood and water, we can not mix...I knew all of that, so why wouldn't I let her go? Why do I feel the compelling need to just keep her locked away forev

  • Mafia’s Property.   Hundred & One: Untamed Desires (2)

    Natalia's POV: Okay, so I intentionally went on this date without panties on, sue me.This action may or may not have been Tanya's idea AND influence.. She'd walked in on the ladies preparing me for the date and she said and I quote; “Eight out of ten times, dates lead to sex. And I know with all the sexual tension all night, you wouldn't want to waste time getting out of your panties so it's better to go without it.”Look, I couldn't tell if she was joking or not, but I took her advice and I admit, I was stupid. Because now, I felt stupid and I was clearly embarrassed despite the alcohol messing with my head.And I think I broke Carlo. “Well, I—” I let out a soft gasp as I was being hoisted up in the air and my legs instinctively wrapped around his waist as my hands find their place behind his neck. “What are you doing?” “Can't hold back any longer,” he grunted, exiting the restaurant with me wrapped around him. “I need my hands on you.”Fuck. My stomach clenched hard. I certainly

  • Mafia’s Property.   Hundred & Two: Goodbye.

    Natalia’s POV: “So… how did the date go?” Tanya asked, placing a neatly folded sundress into her bag. “Had fun?” More than fun if the slight ache between my legs was any indication. “Well, it went better than I expected and Carlo was a gentleman.” Yeah, like how fucked me against all the surface in his room like I was some paid whore.She arched one of her brows, her task at hand momentarily forgotten. “That's all I get?” “Uh, what else were you expecting me to say?”She huffed, placing her hands on her hips. “You're not exactly as smooth as you think you are. You literally have a giant hickey on your neck—”“Shit.” My hand flew up to where I was sure he'd been feasting on last night and heat instantly crept up to my cheeks.He did not just fucking mark me for the whole world to see! I heard her snort loudly. “Yeah, ‘shit.’ You're not exactly fooling anyone, so let me hear the juicy details of this ‘date.’” I groaned, flopping backwards on her bed, my eyes facing the ceiling. “I

I could stay like this for hours—days—and not move, I love being in his arms like this, I love being this close to him. For the next ten minutes or so, I lay quietly, until his eyelashes fluttered open revealing those gorgeous eyes to me.“You're awake,” he mumbled in a deep, throaty voice and I smiled.“Yes,” I whispered. “I was watching you sleep,” I said before I could stop myself, almost like my mouth had no filter.He smiled. “You enjoy watching me sleep?” Maybe more than I'd like to admit. “I don't know,” I lied, avoiding his eyes. “I'm thirsty, could you move your arm?” “Don't stress yourself, I'll get water for you,” he i

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED & NINETY-ONE: Carlo's POV: My knees buckled. I can count on a single hand the number of times I've felt this way. Helpless, frightened, powerless.“Don't you dare lay a finger on her!” I barked, my voice trembling. “I can't promise that, Carlo,” the bastard drawled. “Your cooperation determines how this goes. If you do as I say, she gets to walk free, unharmed.” “What do you want?” I gritted, grabbing my phone so hard it was a surprise it didn't Crack. “Name your price.”“You, Carlo?” I could hear the smile in his voice. “You're the prize.” This fucking bastard. “Fine!” From the corner of my eyes, I could see Enzo shaking his head, saying no but my mind was made up. “You will come to the location I've just sent you,” he ordered. “Come alone, Carlo. I don't need any of your minions, just you. You in exchange for your whore.” I didn't wait for any more babbling from me, I hung up, checking the location he sent as Enzo walked up to me.“You can't go there alo

    Carlo's POV: I don't know what I'm feeling, but I can't say I didn't understand it either. I do and that's what terrifies me. I might be overreacting, freaking out because I was slowly realizing that things have completely changed for me, that my normal was now a completely different thing. And I see it now, what Camilla had been trying to tell me, Enzo too. But how could this have happened? When did the lines get blurred? How did I get here? It's just been months, how didn't I see this coming?“Don?” My head snapped up at Enzo's voice. How hadn't I heard him come in? “Enzo,” I muttered, watching as he closed the door behind him and walked in. “You're up late.” He pulled out the chair from across me and lowered onto it. “Yes, I had to round up some things,” he laced his fingers. “I noticed you walking aimlessly in the garden before coming here. Are you okay?” I should tell him, shouldn't I?He understood me better and was my most trusted man.I heaved a sigh rubbing a finger o

    Natalia's POV: “Are you asleep?” Carlo asked, his fingers toying with my hair was already taking me there…“No.” We lay together on his bed, after a good round of sex, we'd showered together and now, I had my head on his chest and his arms wrapped around me.A beat passed. “How do you feel about going to university?” Huh?!I jerked up to look at him. “I don't understand.” He smiled, and pulled me back down to his chest. “I don't know, I just thought you might want that. Maybe after you've had the baby or maybe you can start now,” he shrugged. “I heard even pregnant women attend university these days. Anyone you're comfortable with is fine.” Wait…. Am I dreaming?“You're for real?” I asked carefully.“When have I ever joked about something so serious, monella?” He planted a kiss on my hair. “I'm serious about this, you can attend university if you want. I don't know if I'm wrong, but it was your dream, yes? To go to school. I do not want to take that away from you…” he trailed off

    Natalia's POV: I'm easy and cheap. I thought to myself as I melted against his bare chest. His arms came around me, holding me so close as if he was trying to merge us together and for a moment, we just stood like that. And then one hand came up to my hair, stroking it gently.“You confuse me,” he murmured. “I do not know what to do with you, how to deal with..” He trailed off and I was tempted to ask him to continue but I didn't want to ruin the moment.“I didn't mean to ignore you,” he continued. “And you're right, I should've communicated better. I guess I didn't think it was important… I …I.. I've never done this…”This? What did he mean by that? “I'll do better, monella,” He whispered softly. “I'm sorry.” He didn't have to keep saying sorry because I'd forgiven him the moment he held me back. You see? Easy and cheap. But then, he was apologizing wasn't he? Didn't that mean I was a little bit important to him?‘Because of the baby!’ A little voice in my head snapped and I
