Carlos' Pov

I felt a sense of purpose watching her laugh heartily. Her laugh amazes me. I don't know why I am doing this, but it feels so right; it feels like I'm supposed to be here. It's been ages since I played and laughed with someone. My life is programmed to kill, to work till my knuckles, to be impatient, ruthless, mean, name it—I qualify all as a mafian don, but here I was laughing like a child.

Something I was deprived of while growing up was all about being serious and being trained like someone is chasing after you. I was all my family got, but I wasn't given any breathing space. I was taught how to fight at the age of 15, and that was my life, but being with this girl feels so good, like a lost piece of me has been found by a treasure hunter.

“This is so hilarious; I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard this way,” she said, playing with her fingers. She is nervous, and her eyes look down on the pool of mess we just made. She is avoiding eye contact with me.

    Isabella's Pov Incredible! My plans worked as I planned, but then when I was on my way to my date, I forgot something. I have come back to pick it up when I saw the image of Carlos and Seraphine at her doorpost. I was consumed with rage and anger. They were so close that their lips almost touched like they were about to kiss. Seraphine lived almost in the same street with me, but I have to walk past her street to get to my apartment. I hide myself between a wall and watch them. My fist clenched and my lips pressed into a hard line. What is Seraphine doing with him? Has she figured it out yet? I don't think so; she doesn't even have any clue. But how did they both meet again? Oh no! The cupcakes. I shouldn't have given it to him, but what was I supposed to do? I acted out of happiness, unknown the consequences with cost my charade. I waited for him to kiss her, but he didn't; rather, he brought out a necklace. What! That is supposed to be my necklace. I know Seraphine scheme

    Seraphine's Pov "Isabella, I have been worried about you.” I said to Isabella, who suddenly showed up in my cupcake shop. She looked restless as she constantly tapped her fingers on the counter. “You back me out; you hardly pick calls, and you even packed out of your apartment. Isabella, what is going on?” “Hey Seraphine. I don't answer to you, so quit the fake concerns.” “Fake concerns!” I shook my head in shock at her words. She thinks I'm giving her fake concerns. This isn't Isabella, I know; what has come over her? “You went to deliver cupcakes; it never got to its owner, and you put me through the stress of baking another cupcake. Do you even know what that means? You’re chasing our customers away.” "Our,” she asked with a raised eyebrow. “I told you I quit Isabella. I made it clear.” “But why, Isabella, we promised to pull this out. Why will you back out now?” “This isn't your business. I'm here for something. I need your perfume.” “My perfume!” I sh

    Carlos' Pov “Boss Seraphine has been kidnapped,” my pa reported. “I asked you to guard her; why didn't you do your job?” I slapped my hand on my office desk, frustrated. I didn't go over to the cupcake store because of an emergency. “I'm sorry, boss, but the guard on patrol was knocked out. There is nothing to panic about the girl; she is just a lowlife,” my assistant added. My face darkened at her calling Seraphine a lowlife. What up with me with this girl anyway? I'm already suffocated without seeing her face. “I will give you the grace because you're family. Nobody dares question my authority, or do you want to carry your head on your palm?” He shrunk away in fear. I'm ruthless, but you see, I'm loyal to my family. “Get who took her and report back to me.” "Yes, Boss,” he immediately disappeared and was left alone in my office, my fist unconsciously clenched with my feet constantly tapping on the floor. I knew who might have done this—none other than my cousins. H

    Isabella's PovHe acts like he doesn't know what I'm talking about; telling him might make him suspect me; I can't let it out.But he stays with Seraphine all day in that stupid store. Why will he reduce himself to a Seraphine assistant? Is there something I'm missing out on? The last time I checked, Seraphine hates Mafia; she is so bitter about them. She doesn’t even want to associate with them because of what they did to her father, but why does she like Carlos? I could see it from her eyes that she is really into Carlos, or is there something I'm missing? From his tone, he seems not to like me much. I need to come closer to him, have a way around his heart, and make him like me. But Seraphine, the previous day I sneaked up at them playing at the store, I was consumed with rage and anger. My heart broke into pieces watching them throw each other flour. I wanted to stop them but I couldn't.But he won't let me; he doesn't even want us around. I can't sit with her and watch him have

    Seraphine's Pov My eyes blurred. I placed a hand on my forehead, my head pounding in-between. The feel of my home was the same; I felt safe, my legs untied. I was lying on my couch before the doorbell rang. It's a cozy one room, which was separated nicely. I got space for my bedroom, which was demarcated from my small sitting room. My dining and kitchen are in the same place.“I'm coming,” I yelled, staggering to the door to see who was knocking. My body lumps.“Who are you?” I yelled, and my eyes fell on the black pants tracing from down up.I could recognize that voice; it sounds quite familiar.“I'm glad you're okay,” his voice came again. I held a hand on the doorpost to prevent me from falling."Carlos,” I called startled. What is he doing in my house? “You don't look too good.” “Yeah, my head is pounding so badly.” “Come on, let me see that.” He took my hands and led me into the room.I grumble at each step.“Let me carry,” he offered, but I protested.“No, I'm good.” But h

    Isabella PovIs time to deal with Seraphine, I have tolerated her for a long time. I asked someone to follow Carlos that night and I found out that he went to see Seraphine that night.I'm consumed by hatred for her, I want to see her suffer.“Hey Seraphine. You have to pay me out” I snapped over the phone when I called Seraphine. I didn't care about the greeting or about how we used to be.“Just give me a little time” she said, but I wasn't having it. I just want to put her in so much pressure that it would be hard for her to come. Oh her parents too, I can use them to my own advantage, I smirked at myself holding up the pack I will use to bring her business down. I planned to take her to hell. Firstly, incur debts for her then use this to finish up my revenge.“I don't have time Seraphine” “I just got out from the devil's den, Isabella I was kidnapped. I haven't even gone to the store” “I don't care about Seraphine. I just need my payout. You can send it out asap” I didn't wai

    Seraphine's Pov“Hey Miss, do you want to kill me with your shitty cupcakes?” one of my customers yelled angrily with his hand holding his butt. “What is wrong?" I asked, wondering what was going on; I could recognize him. He is one of my constant customers. The air changed into a rotten smell. I used a hanky to cover up my nose, staring at the geeky customer from the cloth.“After eating your cupcakes, I have been frequently visiting the restroom. What do you put in those?” I quickly threw the hanky away, noticing the urgency of the situation, still utterly confused at the situation. I did nothing different from my baking method. What could be the problem?“Umh… I'm sorry,” my voice cracked utterly short of words.“Sorry, sorry for yourself. I will make sure I give bad reviews on your business. You're giving us poison,” he yelled, heading towards the door."Please..." I tried to stop him, but before I could say a word, he was already out of sight. I regain my composure looking back

    CARLOSWhat was I going to do? I know I asked Seraphina to go home and not worry about the issue we had on the ground, but there was no way I could know what to do. What was I going to do? I arrived home a while ago, realizing also that there was a need to employ another man who would drive me. Since the last one died, or rather—was killed, Vito had been the only one driving me around when that was not his job - he was my PA, not a driver. “Vito?” When relaxed on a couch in my living room, I called. “I might need you to do something for me. But the time is not right - not yet.” I announced while the young man took a seat on the couch on the other end. “Sure, Boss. You know I can do anything at all.” That was a good thing to hear. “What would you love me to do for you, Boss? I have waited all these while for a task.” Nodding, I sat up on the couch. “I have no idea how this would go yet—” I sounded. “I'll let you know when the time is right but right now, we need a man to dr

    CARLOSI looked at the entrance of the church. My wife was on her way, dressed in the wedding gown we've always wanted to see her in. A flower in her hand, and of course, Jenny behind. It was strange but the two had developed a bond I could not explain, a bond I approved of long ago. Their friendship was far better than the one Isabella thought she could offer to my woman. “She's so beautiful.” Someone whispered. He was behind me. He was none other than Vito who said these words. “Lucky man that you are.” The people who came for the event were on their feet, singing as the woman I love caught up with me, the smile on her countenance unfading. “You look responsible.” I chuckled. “You leave me with no choice, Seraphina. I must look like a responsible man whenever you're involved. Don't you think so?” A smile was on my face and I took her hand. “How are you feeling?” I looked at my legs. They were strong. I was a strong man and gunshots could not have anything on me. Not once or

    CARLOS“You'll get your ass down here if you know what's good for you, flyboy.” A voice I recognized sounded in my eyes, from the phone. The call ended and I jumped on my feet. It all made sense now. It made sense now why Sera shouted and I didn't hear from her any longer. It was an hour ago and it felt like forever. I had tried so hard to reach out to the people living in the same house as her but I couldn't and I don't know why, even though I knew they were asleep. According to the words of Seraphina. What should I do? I was alone in the whole house. With the men who were watching over me. My legs led me down the stairs again and I looked around with a sigh, many sighs running out of my mouth. What do I do? I reached the living room entrance. It was almost late in the evening but this was a matter of life and death and I could not miss it for anything. I reached for my phone and dialed Vito. “Yes, boss?”“Come over to the house and be as fast as you can. I was talking to Ser

    SERAPHINA It was a blast!Starting off from the wedding gown, down to the suit Carlos showed me at the end of the day. We were on our way home but stopped by a restaurant to get some food. There was no time to cook, maybe there were, as a matter of fact, there were more than enough meals in that fridge at home. And I didn't forget that Jenny cooked something this morning, long before now. “Is this necessary?” That was Jenny asking. She looked at me from where she was seated so that she could ask. “Maybe we should cook something when we're home. You know fully well that there's food in the fridge or have you forgotten so quickly?” How could I forget? Of all things, not what went on in my house. “I want everyone to eat something from a restaurant, is there something wrong with that?” As I opened the door and hopped down, Jonathan did the same. “You two can remain in the car. Myself and Jonathan can handle the purchase.” “Alright.” On their behalf, Nicholas announced. Myself and

    SERAPHINA After several plans and arrangements, the wedding was in two weeks. But before then, myself and Carlos needed to go shop for the things we knew we needed on that big day. With Jenny on my side, and Vito on his, we were ready to go shop for my wedding gown as well as the suit we'd both agreed on. I woke up to the beeping sound of my phone. Sitting up, there was a call from Carlos who promised to call at this time in the morning. Without any hesitation, I picked up the call. “Good morning, boyfriend. How are you today?” “Boyfriend?” He laughed. “You're forgetting I put a ring on your finger. It's something no one would do, I mean, no Boyfriend. I'm fine, baby.” He laughed. It was genuine and I felt happy for him. A man like Carlos who was worse than ever, finding peace, all of a sudden. “How are you?” His next questions cut short my thoughts. I was on my feet, leading my way through to the closet so that I could grab my towel. “I'm fine. I believe I am. Are we getting re

    CARLOSI didn't know what to expect. The look on her face told me she might reject me. Seraphina wasn't smiling. How could she smile? The woman was shocked and needed time. Time to process this. “Are you joking with me?” She cried. I stayed on my knees, unmoving. I cast her a stare and shook my head. “This is never going to be a joke and you know it.” I winked and now she smiled. Seraphina smiled! She looked at the whole room before facing me. “I love you, Carlos Gotti.” Now, that was it. I didn't expect her to say such to me. I no longer felt tense but relieved. “I love you, too, Seraphina. What do you think? Take my ring and become my wife, or take your time to think about this move I have made. I know I haven't been a perfect man for you. I know. Hiding my identity at some point, I recall it, but—” “But nothing, Carlos. I'll be your wife.” Nonna, Jenny, and the others with us in the room cheered. They laughed and clapped while I got on my feet so that the ring could be fi

    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

    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. “
