2024-10-29 19:42:56Lucien’s pov-
I followed Maria as we made our exit from the toilets, watching as she smoothed her palms the length of her dress consciously. I smirked to myself as I watched the blush creep up her neck and return to her cheeks as her eyes land on Rocco standing to the right of the door. She knew he herd but he said nothing sending her a swift nod and resuming in step beside her.
He was a good choice for her, he was cocky, and no doubt would be able to handle Maria’s smart ass. I sought out the best in order to keep her safe. He has been watching from a distance for weeks, taking in her regulars and routines in order to build a secure plan for her security. He didn’t specialise in security or personal security for that matter, but his experience wasn’t what had brought him to my attention in the first place. It was his skill, he was quick thinking, fast, kill or be killed mentality, he was an ex-marine soldier.
We were risking a lot tonight in

Marias pov- I screamed, I screamed and screamed everything that I had as Rocco dragged me away, dragged me just as he was instructed, forcing me through the house, passing door by door as we made our way in the direction of the garage. Where was he taking me? I couldn’t care I was fighting him on it, I was fighting with everything I had to free myself. My family needed me, my brother was dead and my best friend too I wasn’t stupid enough to believe she could be saved from a wound as ghastly as that. I hated Rocco, I hated him for obeying such an order. I hated Lucien for giving that order, he had nor has the right to make that decision. I should be with Aimee; I should be there to hold her and comfort her in her pain. She is scared I know she is, I’m scared, she needs me, she needs me to not let her die alone. Rocco came to a rapid halt his grip easing as he spun me swiftly to face him. He was so passive, his facial features so blank. “Maria, Ima ne

Marias pov I turned seeing Rocco had been shot, his blood smeared to the dark oak flooring as it soaked through his black blazer. He was laying on his back his knees bent to balance as he reached his gun out in front of him in aim for the man at the door. Vince was stood with a smooth smile, that gentle smile he had aimed at me only a short time ago. his gun aimed for Rocco, but his eyes were on me. “Stop, hold fire” I screamed. “Stop, stop, stop” No more death. No more death. I panicked. Vince cocked his head to the side his eyes drifting down my body across the floor to the man lying in front of him. “Please, no more death” I Shakely straightened out my composure. I was trying to be strong but my lips where quivering giving away the fear that I was feeling. “As you wish Bella” Vince said entering the room slowly, a kick to the door and I flinched as the door slammed shut. His eyes slowly flicking b

Marias pov- The sound of a buckle made my head whip back up to face Vince just in time to see him pull his belt from around his waist. The black leather shining with the silver buckle. Fear and dread washed over me as the blood drained from my body. Fear at his action, the slow motion as he bent the belt folding it in half, fear of the dark mask upon his face that now replaced the once welcoming one. This man was unhinged, a psycho if he thought he could just come in here insisting I was his wife because our fathers had made a deal twenty years ago. “Vince” I managed to croak out through trembling lips, the not knowing his intentions was the front of my fear. Was he the type of crazy to rape a woman or the type of crazy for something else, I did not know because the reality that he doesn’t seem to have grasped is that I do not know him. He brought the belt down harshly across my upper arm, the piercing scream that rang from my lungs a

Lucien’s pov- I closed my eyes composing my every emotion. Maria’s screams flooding me as she is dragged away from her brother’s dead body. I took my eyes to Marcel as a distraction, his hands no longer attempting a futile attempt to save Aimee’s life, instead he was still as stone, his eyes on Aimee’s now lifeless and sickly pale white face. “no one is to leave” I ordered through my tightly clenched teeth. “Yes sir” I heard followed by the arrival of another voice. “The grounds are secure, what are we to do with the guests” he cleared his throat, “remaining guests” he added in specification. A chuckle past my lips, it was comical. The chaos around was the outcome of an attempt on our lives, who’s specific life I do not know, maybe one of us or maybe all of us. Either way it was one hundred and ten percent clear this meant war. Everyone who was sat at this table could not have been aware of the attempt, if t

Lucien's Pov-I rounded the house with a determination and fury. So much fury and worry gripped at me, tugging me down and drowning me. My mind was realing and seething with the flood of so many different emotions. I was not used to this, I didnt feel pain, I didnt feel fear, I never feel sorrow or greaf. never in my life...But now, now I feel it all and im feeling it all at once.Rocco’s car was still parked in the garage meaning they had not left. They had not left as instructed, the plan prepared by myself and Rocco not in motion. The plan designed to keep maria safe with the off chance that something like this was to go wrong tonight.I pushed the door open making my way through the garage, and just like Diego I wanted blood. I want Trevisani blood.“I want eyes on them now” I fired an order again; Maria was in trouble I could feel it in my bones and the still parked car in the garage was only a con

Maria's POV- “Are you hurt?” he spoke, and I knew he was talking to me, but I couldn’t decipher why he would ask such a question. Was it out of stupidity? Did I look ok? No. Did I look hurt? I sure as hell felt the pain. His eyes darted to Rocco before landing back on me “Is he dead?” he asked, his eyes dipping to the man at my feet. Was his question referring to Rocco or Vince? Either way even a blind man would know someone died in this room by the smell of the blood in the air. “You left me” I spoke, my voice leaving as a croak. He gave the order; I am here because he sent me on this path. “I know, I thought you were safe with Rocco” he said calmly his hands raised in surrender. His eyes for once not portraying his strength. Instead, stormy swirls stared back at me crumbling in an almost panic like as they pleaded with me. It was striking to see something so unusual coming from him I felt

Maria's Pov- Lucien gently tugged at my arms encasing me in his hold with a tight squeeze, pinning me to his chest and leaving no room for me to fight. “I’ve got you” he whispered. “I’ve got you now” he repeated over and over, and I broke into a million pieces as I cried into his chest to thoughts of the night, thoughts of Lorenzo, Aimee and even for some unknown reasons… Vince. A loud pain filled groan pulled me back to my surroundings and I shot away from Lucien’s chest my eyes instantly finding Rocco who was trying to roll his shoulder, the shoulder with the bullet wound. “Get him a doctor” I fired rushing to Rocco’s side, yet again being too caught up in my selfishness that I had let this man bleed for God knows how long while I so selfishly cried a meltdown. “I suppose I’m fired sweetheart” he winced. “Don’t move” I scolded panic stricken as Lucien silently came to my side obser

Diego’s pov- “Mail whatever is left of the pair to the Trevisani estate” I ordered, wiping my chin on the sleeve of my shirt. “Are you sure that is the message you want to send?” Marcel asked stepping away from the sink he was washing his hands in. “That’s what I said, was it not?” I fired stepping to the now vacant sink. The skin of my hands not visible through the coating of crimson red, fingernails stained with the blood of those animals. “Pack them up and send them off” he ordered to the two men present. “You understand that is a message of war” he said calmly, his eyes burning into the side of my face, like if he looks hard enough, he could read whatever my mind was thinking. “I am aware yes” I clenched my teeth tightly, my eyes focused on the wall in front of me. I don’t think I have felt this much emotion in a very long time. was it anger? pain? I don’t know but it is deafeni

“Mom” Marcus yelled in panic as my head was lifted from the cold floor. “Get some ice for your mother she hit her head” I heard Lucien, he sounded so close, I could smell him, he smelt just like I remember. “This is your fault asshole” Marcus fired “Or maybe it was your unique way of introducing yourself. SON” Lucien defended. “Maria, can you hear me?” his voice was so close yet so soft like a whisper. I didn’t dare open my eyes, maybe it was a nightmare? If that’s the case than I’m stuck in a dream state. His touch feels so real. I was being a child, hoping that the longer I keep my eyes closed the higher chance of the possibility of it being nothing more than just a dream. “Maria” he called the touch of his fingertips to my skin as he brushed them gently across my brow and along my check. “Fuck, shit! mom?” Marcus’s panic snapped me forward and I flicked my eyes o
Maria (A Mafia Romance) Epilogue -1
Epilogue Eighteen years has passed since you both took your leave. Every day I miss you both. Diego too, when you guys made your leave from this world and I made mine from that hell, I had made the sacrifice to leave him behind. It was a painful sacrifice, but he had the right to choose his own path just like I did mine. I don’t know if you can hear me, maybe its wishful thinking but I pray every day that you watch over him for me. I have had no contact with him or any other from that life in eighteen years, but I did it, I finally got out. I faced those struggles with you all in my mind, through the good times and the bad. Sometimes I let my mind wonder in imagination, with the what ifs and the possibilities of what could have been if you both could spend one more day down here. I know Marcus could use an uncle or aunt to vent too. He takes after his father, so handsome with his dark hair and strong mind but sometimes I feel as though a mother just won’t cut

Maria’s pov- Lucien circled his arms around my waste the warmth of his body against my back was calming as he placed a delicate kiss to my cheek, my eyes closing as his presence soothed me. “Are you ok?” he asked his voice soft and low. I hummed a response, wanting nothing more than to stay in his arms. I was yet again shamelessly avoiding what I came here to do. “We need to talk” I sighed opening my eyes, forcing myself to face reality. “Don’t give me a speech like the one you gave him” Lucien exclaimed, the cool air wrapping around me as he pulled away from me, the loss of his hold no longer keeping me composed. “It is nothing like that” I huffed turning to face him. It sounds crazy to say but this man, this big powerful man in front of me is so God damn emotional it’s unbelievable. “Take a seat please I need to tell you something and I don’t want you to freak out” I nudged his che

Maria’s pov- I was shamelessly killing time to avoid the inevitable confrontation of telling Lucien our news. I didn’t know how he would react, how he would take the news of becoming a father let alone the news that we can leave. He was always so defensive with excuses every time I brought up us leaving the current life that we live. And as for the other thing, I believe being a parent is something he has pictured before but no matter how hard he tries to hide how much that thought scared him I could see it. I have taken a shower and a bath, with a visit to Rocco and Dr Grim in hopes to avoid the conversation I am mere seconds away from having with Lucien, according to Marcel he was in the living area of our floor five minutes ago. I’m praying he is still there because all this walking to avoid the inevitable was killing not just my leg but my whole entire body. “You are not capable of keeping her safe, how many times must she suffer because of your blata

It hurt to think of Diego in pain, of him feeling lost or being lost in any kind of way. That was just not who Diego was, he is all humour, fiery and bright. “I shot myself” I laughed through a sob hoping to relieve some of his pain for even just a moment. “I heard” he strained a chuckle, clearing his throat he pulled back to look at me with his red eyes. They were not as bright anymore, they seemed dull like the brightness of a bulb dying out. “Only you could manage such a thing Angel” he smiled at me, his smile weak but I could tell it was genuine and that’s what I wanted. To see the smiling Diego not the Diego with the reckless look upon his face. “I’m proud of you, your strength is powerful Maria. you took on a fight all on your own and came out still standing” he praised “well standing on a limp leg” he added with a teasing grin. “Shut up, you have a limp leg too” I laughed pus

The crash and the sound of fist to skin that I knew was coming after Carlos’s words echoed around the room. I winced opening my e
