Mafia's True Queen Chapter Ten.
Adriano's P O VI had gone down to the kitchen for a glass of water as neither of the maids were in earshot. There I saw her and instantly I assumed she was busy with the cooking which shouldn't be so in anyway.As much as she was my captive, she still was my guest, and not just any guest, Sofia's lookalike. It remained a mystery to me how two different people, born to different families could look so much alike. It was a tough one to wrap my head around.Regardless, she was my second chance at making things right again. Not willing to let what was before me slide, I thought to let her know her place and not get entangled with the house maids as she wasn't one.They had their backs to me, making them oblivious of my presence."You shouldn't be in here. Leave the cooking to the maids. That's their job.""And you, why did you let her in here?" I asked the maid with her and I must say that the response that followed was unexpected "None of this is her fault." She said, interrupting t
Mafia's True Queen Chapter Eleven.
Jaselle's POVFor f*ck sake, why is he hell bent on treating me like I am some sort of animal that he can bend to his every whim?And for heaven's sake, how did he get to know that I had planned my escape tonight?Does he have some sort of frigging surveillance cameras on me that I don't know of and can't see?F*CK! I writted my teeth as these thoughts flooded my mind like an endless stream of water was flowing through it.I was not just focused on my thoughts. I was busy trying to free myself from the chair I was strapped onto.But of course, he had me fastened tight that I could barely move a muscle, not even my own two feet.Regardless, I had to try. I would be stupid or maybe even a coward if I had not tried at the very least.Just wait until I get out of here, I'll get you arrested by the police for kidnapping and attempted murder.Attempted murder you would ask. But hey, why not? Not like it'll do either of us any harm if I spiced things up a little to my advantage right?I mea

Chapter twelve.Adriano's POV.I was in the middle of a meeting out of town when I received the maid's call, explaining her refusal at a meal. Her demand was ridiculous and there was no way in hell that I'd go there myself to untie her. If she wants to starve, then so be it.I had warned her never to attempt escaping but being the block head that she was, she did it anyway. How did she even think for a minute that she would be able to escape from my men?Pathetic!"So about the new shipment set to arrive tomorrow, I hope they will be no hiccups this time. We nearly lost a lot of money the last time. Fortunately for us, we didn't""I know that Mr Jamal and I assure you that this time, our rival group will not be able to lay even as much as a finger on our goods. Strict measures have been put in place to tighten our security, so there's nothing to be afraid of."Everyone seemed convinced by my response. They all nodded and made faces that showed their believe in me.Business had been g
Mafia's True Queen Chapter Thirteen.
Jaselle's POV.I was already planning my next move. Being strapped to a chair and starved didn't break my resolve one bit. I was still as determined as ever to get away from him and everything else that I'm being forced to live with at the moment.I decided to be a little bit more careful this time. I was taking a walk in the garden for some fresh air, that was the only thing I could do freely anyway when I heard voices from behind me and I thought of taking a look to see who it was.I took slow steps towards the direction of the voice which was coming from the backyard. As I got closer, I realized it was the maids having a chat over whilst sun-drying the laundry. I had turned to leave but decided otherwise when I heard them bring up a topic that captured my interest."Don't you think it's strange that a woman who looks exactly like the boss's late wife is currently living with us here at the mansion?" One of the maids started.She looked a bit older than I was but I was sure we wou

Adriano's POVThinking of ways to get rid of the guilt I felt towards Fia for her death was starting to take a toll on me. I felt that before anything else, I needed to understand the connection between Fia and this doppleganger of hers who was now being held hostage by me.I had asked one of the maids to get her from her room as there were questions bugging my mind that needed to be answered."Come in." I responded to the knock on my bedroom door."Who exactly are you and how are you related to my wife Sofia?" I asked as soon as I was able to gain composure of myself."I don't understand your question." She replied, and I could tell she didn't quiet get what I meant."How is it possible that you have the same face as Fia but you have no idea who she is? Are you perhaps one of her crazy stalkers who went too far with surgeries to look like her?"I knew Sofia to have alot of admirers and stalkers even before we got married. She previously worked as a model but had to quit her job when
Mafia's True Queen Chapter Fifteen.
I was coming down the stairs as I was starting to get bored from locking myself up in my room all day when I saw different faces coming in and out of the house. Each of them held a rack containing very fancy female wears, I wondered who they were for.There were about ten different people I had seen. Four people each stood by a rack, two held different boxes that seemed to contain shoes while the remaining three had different bags with them from top brands I had read about in news articles."What's going on?" I asked one of the maid that stood beside me.Not just her but everyone else stood at attention with their hands forward, one palm ontop the other.All she could say was that Mr Moretti had given orders for everyone to assemble and she did not know for what reason he had said so.I looked away from her back to everything that layed before me screaming high class fashion. My hands itched to have a feel of them.Without second guessing, I moved by each rack, touching every single c

Jaselle's POVI looked at the items that sat at a corner in my room staring back at me. I had loved the sight of them just a few minutes ago but now, I just wanted to tear them all up into shreds and burn them to ashes.I couldn't do that even though I so wanted to. I fell on my bed and heaved a deep sigh. What has my life turned into? What ugly life must I have led in my past that it has come to hunt my present, making me go through all this trouble?I began questioning life again as I had always done. Should I just suck it all up and give in to what he wants? What about my freedom?What about what I want? My life!How could I possibly accept to live someone else's life, a dead person at that when I have the whole of my own life ahead of me.In the midst of all my worries and a thousand a one questions that seemed never ending, I fell asleep.I was awe strucked when he called for me to the sitting room and took back all he had said to me and everyone a few minutes ago.

Mafia's True Queen Chapter Seventeen.
Jaselle's POVI remember while I was still back home in my apartment, each day crawls by as slowly as possible because all I did was lay in my sofa I almost got myself glued to doing absolutely nothing asides sulking and having leftovers for dinner but here in this glorified prison, time seemed to work differently.Asides spending my day wandering around and thinking of ways to escape, I did nothing else but the time ticked by so fast that it was already the next morning since I last saw the Ogre in human flesh.I woke up barely three minutes ago to a long train of people crowded in my room and that was creepy as hell.At first, I thought I was in some kind of trance that had everyone watching me but I soon realized they're the team that's supposed to 'Fix me' I still couldn't believe he sees me as a disgrace and thinks I need fixing but I had settled to go with the flow.Whatever dumb dinner party it is we're to attend might just be my one chance at fleeing away from him like I badl

Jaselle's P O VI told myself I should get some sleep but how exactly am I supposed to bring myself to sleep after having the craziest night ever? I kept telling myself this can't be happening and that when my dream builders are done playing games with me, I'm going to open my eyes to Alessia almost shoving breakfast down my throat like she usually does so innocently. But no, I opened my eyes every minute after sliding my lids down to sleep and I still found myself in the exact same place I had been the entire night staring wide eyed at the makeshift roof and the mirror that hung oddly adjacent to where the bed was placed. After hours of tossing and unable to find sleep, I found myself climbing down from the bed unsure of what exactly I was about to do but I couldn't keep my restless self in one place for too long. I carefully placed my feet on the floor after checking the carpet with just my biggest toe expecting a booby trap reaction or screaming alarms but when none of my imagin
Mafia's True Queen Chapter Thirty-Eight.
Adriano's P O V I remained standing in the empty room that once housed Jaselle and I was fuming. My knuckles looked pale white from how firmly I balled my fists together and the ache I felt from the fresh bruise I had just secured from punching a part of the wall irritated me further. I felt like I was suffocating and at the same time, the annoyance was starting to seep through my veins and they were getting into my bloodstream because I could feel my blood starting to boil with so much pressure. "Boss?" Gustavo called from the door behind me and I turned at him sharply like a raging bull. I'm pretty sure my eyes were blood red and all that was left to complete the look was smoke coming out my ears and nostrils. "WHERE THE HELL IS SHE???" I Roared at him and never in my life have I seen him so distressed and Alessia who I just noticed beside him looked like she was going to pass out any moment now. Well, if I don't find Jaselle and that too immediately, I'm going to rage hell on

Jaselle's P O V"Freddy, what the hell is going on here?" Sofia questioned and I tried to convince myself she didn't sound like me due to her noticeable accent but in reality, her voice sounded just as pitchy as mine does. The only difference asides the accent is that she talks calmly and firmly while I talk so fast that if you aren't actually paying full attention, you would almost think I'm cooking up a verse for a local rap battle. "I'm wondering so myself" came Freddy's response without blinking his eyes even once. "Who are you and why are you out in the woods so late at night??" The second man asked and only then did I remember he was standing behind me all along.I tried to form words but nothing came out from my mouth.My lips moved in attempt to form a speech but nothing was to be heard. My gaze remained intently fixed on Sofia while a thousand questions ran through my mind."Wait, aren't you supposed to be.......... I don't know....... Dead?" I questioned but immediately r

Jaselle's P O VWith conflicted emotions in my already pounding chest, I ran down deeper into the dark, with my pace increasing anytime I thought I heard a gunshot or an animal Howl at me which I hope are just a sick part of my imagination, because imagine escaping Adriano's clutch to get eaten by a wild animal. The Horrific Tragedy! My legs were starting to grow weary of running but I was too scared to stop. I also felt a sting of regret about not being able to snatch something out of the fridge while I had the chance. My stomach growled in response while my memory flashed back to the fat Sausage roll I nearly grabbed out of the fridge before I realized my golden opportunity. My itchy outfit choice I found tolerable a while back wasn't as tolerable anymore and since my top was so short that it couldn't meet the band of my pants, I had to hold my hand over my exposed belly to block the harsh breeze from making any further impact. I swear I could hear voices all around me and In my

Adriano's P O VDawn soon fell upon us and I didn't give a care in the world to my sunken eyes and evident eye bags. Getting to the root of what had been in my mind the entire night was the only thing that mattered to me and that was evident in my heavy steps down the stairs. I was so eager to get to the root of the matter that I didn't even pause to greet Jaselle's door with a single glance like I did every morning while on my way down the stairs and in no time, I was out the house and I was greeted by a number of my men that I wasn't exactly interested in at the moment. Where the hell is Gustavo??? He should have been here waiting for me as planned!I started to itch with annoyance as it occurred to me that Gustavo's pace wasn't in any way matching the urgency to get down to the Grill and hold whosoever I happen to meet there at a chokehold. "John is it?" I questioned mindlessly to the next man that walked past me with a curt bow and his immediate response was a firm Nod. "Go f
Mafia's True Queen Chapter Thirty-Four.
Adriano's P O VI had always watched the sunrise almost every day for many years because it's like when I go to sleep, I'm never really asleep but just there in bed, switched off mind and eyes wide open through out the dark hours of the night and so watching the sunrise wasn't anything special to me as it had become a normal thing but this morning was different. I spent the remaining hours of the night longing for daylight after my session with the prisoners I had thrown in the cell. After two hours of grilling and torture, the youngest and clearly the most inexperienced of them all chose the smart option which was to give me the information I needed to hear. The others gasped at his betrayal and gave him looks that meant he was choosing the wrong path but the young lad obviously had his mind made up because he paid their silent reproach no attention and yet swore to speak the truth. I didn't want the judgemental glares from his accomplices cause him to withold any necessary piece
Mafia's True Queen Chapter Thirty-Three.
Adriano's P O VThe sneak attack wasn't expected as we weren't given a prior warning nor hint. I mean, that's why it's called a sneak attack am I right? But something about the whole thing made me feel full of myself once again. It was beginning to get too idle around here these past many days and then, boom! just like that I get some action thrown my way without even asking for it. I was mostly thrilled when the man with the one wounded knee before me started to prove stubborn in his attempt at hoarding information I would be more than thrilled to extract from his insides if I have to. I mean, where's the fun if he tells me right away? That's the thing with blabbermouths, they are such a killJoy. My phone started to buzz again in the pocket of my pants and I didn't need to glance at it to figure out who was calling. "Yes Carlo, Hit me" I answered into the phone after the second ring. "We have the mansion surrounded and I have looked around, it seems no one got anywhere near her
Mafia's True Queen Chapter Thirty-Two.
Adriano's P O V.The heavy and bitter taste of regret lingered in my throat the entire afternoon and all I did was brush through my hair in frustration with my fingers as I paced about my office unsure of how best to eliminate the strong emotion. I really shouldn't feel this way. She called it upon herself when she dared to slap me. Not a soul has ever had the effrontery nor the nerve to even so much as think about it. Yet, she did it without hesitation. I should be pissed! I should have her severely punished! but whenever I feel anger stirring up inside of me, I get reminded of the weak look in her eyes when I gripped her throat. Her eyes silently pleaded for mercy but I was too adamant to listen and now it haunts me. I convinced myself if she didn't have my wife's face, I wouldn't feel a bit remorse. Not even in the slightest. Thanks to that face of hers, she gets away with a lot of things around here. "Boss?" I heard a voice call from right inside my office and my head sn
Mafia's True Queen Chapter Thirty-One.
Jaselle's P O V.While I was expecting he apologizes to me and promise to set me on the next plane home, I never realized how dangerously close to each other we both were. So close that whenever I drew in a breathe, it was clouded with his intoxicating scent. In all my days of hating him, I never expected us to be in such a position after having our very first simple conversation that didn't involve hate and disgust amongst all other explosive emotions that were very much mutual. He still remained silent and I had no idea what was going on in his head neither could I stop my eyes from looking at his side view like a creep. At least the first time, I was trying to be discreet about it. But right now, I'm fully staring! His jet black hair seemed to be as soft as wet wool and the way it curled all over his head was an interesting sight to behold. Girl, how have I never paid this much attention to him before now??"Maybe because it's because you've only ever wanted to smack him in t
