CARLOS

“Wh—where are we going?”

“To the market, Seraphina.” I walked away from the office, and reached the table where my wristwatch was dumped. Picking it up, I walked to the door and turned to look at my new boss. “You should be fast about it.”

“I don't think you should do this.”

“Why not?” I stopped walking.

“I owe you enough already, Mr. Carlos.”

When was she going to stop this? A tired sigh ran out of my mouth as I walked back to the desk. “It's a gift, Seraphina. Oh, please. Come on. You cannot refuse my gifts, can you? And don't pity me because I can afford it, so shall we?”

She picked up her purse after some time and walked to the door. I did the same with a sigh of relief running out of my mouth and then I reached my car in a short while.

“Give me a moment—” I let out, walking to a corner where I knew it was safe to make calls.

“Hello, Vito.”

“Yes, Boss. Good morning.”

“Can you do something for me?”

“Of course, Boss. What can I do for you?”

  • Mafia's Wrong girl    Chapter 19

    SERAPHINA The new week did not take long to begin. Unlike the past week, I woke up with a happy look on my countenance, looking forward to starting the day and the new week even—but in the shop. Looking at the wall clock hanging on the wall, I realized how much time I had to get ready for work today. The plan was to be at the shop as early as I could, so I set to work, getting my cleaning tools ready as I planned to clean certain parts of the house—especially when I didn't do that on Saturday, but spent all day at the shop. With Carlos. The man who I had found favor in his sight. Thoughts of him brought a smile to my face. But I shrugged off my thoughts and set to the bathroom for my tools, setting to work the next moment as I mouthed words—humming a song even. While I cleaned, I hummed my favorite song. So many thoughts ran around in my head. Out of these thoughts were the thoughts of how stocked the shop was with the necessary ingredients for the next ten batches of cake

    ISABELLA Anger welled up inside of me like blood flowing through my veins. Walking in, I shut the door of my apartment, holding back myself from shouting, especially at the thought of how unfortunate I could be. Why was it not working? Why couldn't this thing work out for me just as I wanted it? A deep sigh ran out of my mouth as I flung my handbag on the couch, falling on another couch. How could Carlos have a thing to do with her? Not even without taking my permission. What did he think he was doing? Didn't he know I didn't want him with her? Another sigh ran out of my mouth and I got on my feet. There was no need to sit and do nothing. I needed a solution. What the fuck was wrong with the man? Didn't he see I wanted him so much in my life? Even after lying that my birthday was coming up when it wasn't and was long gone since the year started, my plans didn't work. What else was I supposed to do? Not even the accident I feigned would work on him. Sex, even. What happened

    ISABELLA “Yes!” I almost screamed my lungs out this morning. So many thoughts were running around in my head but one of them remained the fact that I had an idea of what to do exactly and how to go about it. I have had the idea for a while now—long before this morning. The idea popped up in my head the very moment I dropped the call with Seraphina the other day when I reached out to her to know the day I would be getting paid. What more could I ask for? Standing from the bed, I caught up with the dressing table—taking a glance at myself with the aid that came from the mirror, after which I walked over to the closet so that I could select an outfit for today. What about Carlos? What happened to reaching out to me and checking on me? Didn't he want me in his life anymore? I knew he didn't from the onset but I still cared to know about why he didn't reach out to me. Was the man pushing me away? How could he do that to a woman who saved him?! But it wasn't me who saved him. Mayb

    CARLOSNo matter how hard I wanted to run away from her, she kept running back to me without caution. “Spend a day together?” As though I didn't hear what she said even though I did, I had to ask just so I could be sure. “I should be busy this weekend, Isabella. I'm not sure.” “It's just the weekend, Carlos. Why are you so uptight?” Her question made me jump on my feet and I paced the space of Seraphina's shop where we were attending to new customers. “I have a life, too, Carlos. Do you think I won't let go of some things for the day just to be with you?” Right. Did she think she was as busy as me? The last time I checked, I was the Mafia Don of a gang in the whole of the city. Did she think it was as easy as staying back at home and being busy with cooking? A sigh ran out of my mouth and I thought about it, nodding. “We should see this weekend, then. I'm sure I can spare a few hours. Maybe three—if that's okay for you. What do you say?” “Perfect, Carlos. Thank you so much.” N

    ISABELLA The master plan had been found, but it hadn't been worked on—not just yet. The last time I met with Carlos, he announced the soon arrival of his Nonna who made it to the house on that same day even though I did not set eyes on her. I had to leave before the woman would make it. But why? Was he so ashamed of me that he didn't want his mother setting eyes on me? I wondered with a grimace on my countenance when I walked into the kitchen this morning. It was early in the morning and I woke up at an unusual hour because of the task I had at hand. Cupcakes had to be made before the morning would come. Then I would make it to the mansion and give the cupcakes to the woman who I planned to impress. A knowing smile now appeared on my countenance. I led my way further into the kitchen and gave a nod, relaxing on the wall before setting to work. How would it turn out? I had never really baked cupcakes even when I stayed in the same shop as Seraphina who did better th

    ISABELLA “What is this?” “Wh—what do you mean, ma?” “What do you mean by what do I mean?” She walked close to the carton she dropped on the table a while ago so that she could pick up another piece of cake. “Do you want to taste what you've brought to my home?” She put some in her mouth and spat it on the floor. Shock came on on my countenance. What did I just see? Was she—was she trying to tell me I did not do a good job? Tears welled up in my eyes, but I tried so hard so that they did not fall off. “I don't know what you're talking about, Nonna. Is something wrong with the cakes?” She burst into laughter. “I can't believe I am eating this nonsense.” She walked to the table and dropped the remnant of the cake she bit a while ago and turned to the woman who served me a glass of water. “Take this out of my sight.” She ordered and made a gesture with her hand so that the woman stopped. “Don't bother about it. Even the dogs cannot have this.” “What do I do with it, ma'am?” The

    SERAPHINA The shop had done better than ever. I was proud of myself. More than proud that it gave me the guts to talk back to my once-best friend in the manner I did when her call came in the last time. Not only did I speak to her in that manner, but once again gave myself a name. The reputation I know I deserved. And as soon as the month started to end, her payment was ready. More than ready but I made up my mind to send it to her in my own time—not hers. Today was a Saturday. The day I planned to send her money. My mood asked me to and I was willing to do just that—so the very moment I stepped foot at the shop, I dumped my handbag as soon as my phone was retrieved from a purse inside of it. “Good morning, Isabella.” No one spoke from the other end.Looking at the screen of my phone, I realized it could be the network and ended the call, promising myself to reach out to her as soon as I could before the day ended. From the look of things, there was more than a lot to do at t

    ISABELLA Did she just ask me what? Where were her manners? Did she forget I was still older than her even though things didn't work out well between us and it could have been my fault in a way? “What is it, Isabella?” Her tender voice, from the other end, brought me back to reality. “I don't have all day. You of all people should know how tiring and time-occupying the business is, or did you forget?” A smile came on my countenance. It was obvious Seraphina's business was now going well. Or maybe not. It was either it went well or she had the privilege of taking money from Carlos who wouldn't mind. The position I had seen them in several times wasn't a good one and the thought of it alone made me annoyed. “Good day, Seraphina.” “Good day to you, too, Isabella.” “Thank you—” I finally made up my mind to take a seat on the couch—opening my mouth to speak again. “I saw some money in my bank account. A message came in from the bank and when I checked, it was from your account. Did

    SERAPHINA It was the weekend. The day went well and I was ready for what would come in the evening. Tonight. Myself and the men got back from work an hour ago. We were almost ready to leave, not really, but after our bath and a meal, of course. I had barely dropped my phone and bag on the bed when it beeped. There was a call from Carlos. Without any hesitation, I picked it up. “Yes? Good evening, Carlos. How are you doing?” “Good evening, baby.” The sound of that made me feel good. I didn't know why but I felt good. “Good evening,” I said again. I didn't know why and when but I was seated on the couch not so far from my bed in a short while. “How are you?” “Never been better,” Carlos said. I nodded, patient but impatient. There was a lot to do before the call would end. More than a lot. A sigh ran out of my mouth when I looked at the clock hanging on the wall. “I'm doing well, Sera. I wanted to know if I should expect you at the house soon. I know we talked about it this m

  • Mafia's Wrong girl    Chapter 77

    SERAPHINA It was a week after everything that happened. Life went back to normal. The fear of being hurt, according to the words of my enemies who were currently dining in jail, did not disturb me as before. Not any longer. This morning, I woke up on the right side of my bed. The smile on my countenance all morning could not be explained. And with this energy, I was getting ready to leave the house for work. My life did not remain the same. Not any longer. Not when the loneliness and boredom I used to feel didn't exist. Not with Nicholas and Jonathan by my side all the time. “Good morning, guys.” I walked into the living room and looked at both men. “Are you two ready? Or aren't you coming with me to work?” “We'll be ready in an hour.” “Perfect.” “Good morning, Seraphina.” They greeted me and I nodded, heading to the kitchen only to perceive the aroma of good food, a meal I didn't cook. “What's happening here?” I walked out of the kitchen at that same instant. “Do you two

    CARLOSEveryone, including me, adjusted on our seats. This was the time we were waiting for. I wanted this to come and go. It had come, now was time for it to go and I could not wait. “They are guilty, all of them.” I heard Seraphina sigh loudly. She looked at me, and relaxed her back now on the chair. “They shall all serve jail terms. Since nobody was killed in the process, I'm saying the three of them will be sentenced to jail for thirty years. Sam Giancana will be sentenced to jail for forty years.” “Yes!” That was my voice. How could I not be happy with what I heard? A smile came on my countenance. I looked at Frank, then Sam before Isabella. Maybe this would not be happening to them. If not because of anything but because they joined Sam Giancana in trying to hurt me. Only Sam would have been in this shoe, but no, so what happens to the money? The many money they've made off him. “Court!” A young man got up. The meeting had come to an end. What was there to talk about?

  • Mafia's Wrong girl    Chapter 75

    SERAPHINA I sat in a large room where many others were gathered. So many thoughts ran around in my head and I didn't know what to do or even think. But whenever I looked to my left, there was more than a reason to smile. “Relax, okay?” Carlos would say. And I would relax. I would feel better and my nerves would be relaxed the next moment. After a long time of waiting for this day to come, it was the day of their final trial. A day when their fate gets to be decided by the court. I watched a door open. Then three people were pushed out like animals. There was Isabella, Frank, and Sam Giancana. It was as though they planned to look in my direction because until now, I didn't understand why and how they all knew I was seated there. The thoughts I had about being kidnapped or put in trouble came running into my head. I thought about what Isabella could do to me. “Welcome!” Someone's voice snapped me out of my thoughts and I looked up to see the clerk, and then the judge nodding. “

    SERAPHINA Life went back to normal once again. With help from Jenny, the house went back to normal from the worst state it was in. It wasn't easy having two men with me in the house, but it was fun because I got to have company I seldom had when it was just me here. Safety was an understatement of what I felt. Happiness was another word for the new feeling. It was exactly one week after Jenny's arrival with me at my house, as well as the men. It was a different thing for Jenny because this was the day when she would make it out of the house. “Good morning,” I stepped into her room, a room that became hers since she came home with me. “Carlos must have run out of food, Jenny. This is time for you to get ready and be on your way.” I walked further into the space and looked around. “You don't know how much I would miss you.” “Oh, Miss Seraphina. I'll miss you more.” She got off the bed and reached my side. “Thank you so much for having me in your home.” She walked to the closet now

    SERAPHINA It was days later and I was still in the home of Carlos, willing to leave anytime soon. But Carlos on the other hand didn't seem like he would let me go, and a part of me didn't want to go. Not until two weeks later. I was strong, strong enough to leave. And I was more than willing to be gone from his house. We've kissed, and even had sex a couple of times in this room, a room that brought back memories. Many many memories that made me want to stay back and live with him forever. “Good morning.” I looked up at the door. There he was. Carlos led his way into the space with a smile that plastered on his countenance. “Good morning, Sera. Did you sleep well last night?” He took a seat far from the bed with the smile that still plastered on his face. “Good morning, Carlos. I'm fine.” I got off the bed and asked. “Do you remember I'm leaving your house today?” I walked to a closet where a towel was snatched, and then I walked back to the bed where a seat was taken. “I'll l

    CARLOSOf all the things she could say to me, I didn't expect this one from her. There was shock on my face even though I tried so hard to hide it. “I—” I stuttered. “I'm glad to hear you say that.” One part of me forgot already how much I loved this woman, why then didn't I say it back? I leaned and took a seat right on the bed and next to her. “Seraphina, I don't need to say it to you before you know and understand how much I love you.” The look on her countenance brightened. She heaved a sigh and nodded. “I thought you were never going to say that, Carlos. I thought I lost my chance with you.” She touched me slightly and then laid her back on the bed. “Thank you.” What could I say? Whatever good mood I was in before, increased. As I got off the bed, my gaze did not remove from the face of a woman whose eyes were shut. It won't take long for her to sleep and I didn't want to disturb or distract her, so I led my way out of the room, catching up with the stairs in moments.“Mr.

    SERAPHINA “You don't have to if you don't—”Before he could complete the statement, I kissed him with the last ounce of strength I had in me. I would wrap my legs around him if I could. But I couldn't because we were in the car. My lips only covered his and it lasted for moments before we broke off—shock on his countenance. “I'm sorry—” I sat up. “No, no, Seraphina. It's not a problem.” Nodding, I relaxed my back on the couch. Then, Carlos let out. “Cameras are everywhere in this estate although it shouldn't bother us but I don't want us being watched from the headquarters kissing each other like we don't have manners.” A soft laugh ran out of my mouth. That was funny. I was tired. I didn't say much. But the last thing I noticed was Vito walking towards us with a piece of cake in his hand. And then I passed out on my seat. The next time I opened my eyes, I was lying on the bed in a room I didn't and wouldn't recognize. Not until I was told where I was. I should be scared.

    CARLOSThe door pushed open in a rush. The men who watched over the door, armed, walked in, pointing their guns. Myself, Sera, and Vito who had guns in our hands did not stop pointing them at the people who were now on their feet—dragged towards the door by the policemen Matthew came with. “You cannot take us!” Frank shouted at the top of his voice, trying to get off the man who didn't let go of him for a moment. “You can't take us without telling us what we've done. I have a right to know!”I laughed, dropped my gun, and walked towards the door. “You're a fool if you think these men and I haven't planned long before now.” I looked behind me to see Vito holding Seraphina from falling as she could be shocked from everything that had happened in the space of two hours. The policeman let Frank be. But many people pointed guns at him. He did not dare run unless, of course, he wanted to be shot in the legs—just like I had done Isabella. “Mr. Frank Gotti, you're under arrest.” “What
