I sat at a bean bag all by myself as the memories of my mom flooded my mind. Tears stung my eyes whenever I remembered her, it was something I never want to remember. Flashback:I held Julie's hand as we walked into our apartment, my eyes met dad kneeling beside my mom, my eyes squint when they met the bloodstain on her dress, dad was crying, and he occasionally removes his hand from the spot where she had been shot, and whenever he does that, more blood gushes out. My hand left Julie's and I ran. I scrambled to her side, my eyes wide with fear. "Dad, what happened?. Why's mom shot?. What's going on?." I rained questions at my dad. Mom grabbed my shirt and said, "Vanora, you..you must take care of yourself. You must be alive, promise me that.""M..om. Don't say anymore, there's no time to waste, dad we must move her to the hospital now." I screamed and tried to get up from the tiled floor. My mom drew me down to herself, she wants to speak but blood gushes out of her mouth. She in
I had looked for Davina after the two brothers deserted me, I am fucking bored, I could be playing games on my phone to keep myself busy but my phone was taken away from me by Wallace. I didn't know what to do so I just lay on the bed thinking of what I shouldn't be thinking. I was thinking of him and also me. I must have been caught up in between him as whenever I came close to him, I felt hot and chilled at the same time. My heart seemed to beat and all I could think of was what it takes to be closer than I ever was to him. Today, I came to know more about him, I came to know he was sad, and all I knew was that the girl which he loved before was really lucky. She was still remembered by the two brothers even after she died and I seem to be caught up in their world too because I looked like her. I must say that whatever I did or whichever way, they will continue to see me as her. I looked up at the wall clock and got up to get ready for the night. I heard a knock and I guessed it
I gasped when I saw the house, it was massive with balconies and white wood. It stood, at least six stories high, with armed bodyguards surrounding the perimeter. People around us were dressed in formal attire, long ball gowns, and tuxedos. When the car door opened, and I climbed down, all eyes went on me and him. Glances from every corner were on us, I only saw Alec smiling in front of me, and his date, Davina. Zavi turned to Will and said, "Give me your gun." William nodded and took off his pistol which he had kept on his jacket and handed it to the Don. Being armed is what he does at all times, you don't know what happens next. "Zavi Romano." An unfamiliar voice calls him from the two upper stairs. Both Alec and Davina turned around and gave way to the owner of the voice. A guy with beach blonde hair and emerald green eyes was standing and smiling at us. I could feel the tension from everyone around me. Zavi remained standing silently as he approached us."Long time no see, old
Zavi CovilleVanora was damn hot tonight. Do you know how I've been controlling myself around her? For fuck sake, she shouldn't be too close cos I might rip her dress off of her and fuck her in a way she'd never imagined. She made me forget so many things, she made me forget that I was gonna meet some people who I detested in life. I was drawn back to reality immediately after I saw him. Matteo Luciano. My blood boiled in me when I saw him. "Long time no see, old friend." He said to me as he took out his hand for a handshake. He was smiling and I was boiling. I tried so hard to calm down in front of him. I found myself taking his hand and said, "Nice to meet you, Matteo Luciano." I seriously hated the last name. If my dad hadn't befriended his dad back in the day, he wouldn't have the balls to stand in front of me. Looks like he saw that I knew he was a fake, so fake in everything, so he said, "I'm happy that you're finally back, friend. Though I don't think you're really happy
Vanora Campbell.Zavi led me through the noisy, music-filled ballroom, his right hand gripping my waist as he led me towards the dance floor. Everyone seemed to be staring at me, their eyes made me uneasy, I'm not exactly sure that I can do this in front of these eyes watching me. My hands were becoming sweaty and my face flushed. "Pronto?." (Ready?)I nodded. Immediately, he grabbed my waist and pulled me to himself. My breath hitched as I looked into his haunting icy eyes, I wrapped my hands tightly around his neck, "Relax, you'll do great." He reassured me.A beautiful melody began playing, Zavi took my body in his hands, and panic washed through me. "I really can't dance, Zavi," I muttered. "Just follow my lead, beautiful." The way he calls me beautiful makes me wet underneath. I swallowed up as we began dancing to the rhythm of the music. Two steps back, two to the left, two steps forward, two to the right. I was trying, my legs keeping up with Zavi and I felt like we were
I stopped when I heard it. Moaning and the sound of the rhythmic bed creaking, my eyes widened like I had hit a jackpot.And then, I opened the door and saw them.She had big titties, her tanned nude body was wrapped around Zavi's half-naked body, and Zavi's hands were wrapped around her ass as he shoved her into him. She moaned in pleasure.I smirked and asked, "Is this missionary style?."She let out a scream as she grabbed the blanket to cover her naked body. I gave her an awkward smile."Continue, I love to watch." I giggled."Are you mad? Don't you know how to knock?." Alice yelled at me."Ooh oh. Am I interrupting?." Zavi cursed under his breath."What the fuck are you doing here, Nora?." "Are you not the one who told me to stand with you?." I asked back. "What the fuck!." I heard Alice swear, I couldn't see her face in the darkroom so I'm not enjoying this like I wanted to."Zavi, don't tell me you sit right there and watch her get away with this." "Alice," I called her na
June 8, 2016."You can't leave, Zavi," Alec yelled, following him behind as they walked outside. Zavi sighed, stopping by his car. He turned around, "Why? Why can't I leave?." He demanded."Look, mate. I know what I did, I don't have any words to justify myself but.." A tear dropped from Alec's eyes and he didn't care to wipe it off. He already cried a river after the death of Anita. Now, the person who he cared about the most was going to leave him too. Zavi watched him silently, gulping down a bit, Alec looked tired, his eyes were swollen and red, he told him quietly, "I can forgive you for any wrong, brother. But this, I'm trying to." He turned around, opened the car, and climbed in. One last look from the window, he drove out of the compound. Zavi hit the road at speed, passing by many cars as he headed to the north of Italy. It was where he's been to clear his mind of the pain he was feeling in his heart. When Anita died, he didn't waste a tear, he stared at her corpse all da
Vanora Campbell.I woke up feeling like I had been fucked in the face, my head throbbed and my body felt so weak, it was as if someone dropped a big log of wood on my body. I winced and tried to sit up on the bed. What the fuck happened yesterday?My eyes looked around where I lay, and that was when I noticed this wasn't my room. One minute, I was at the party and the next I was here.Oh, fuck!.The party. I remembered Alec giving me something and then....I went in search of Zavi and found him hitting that girl so well. After that, I didn't know what happened next. How the hell did I get here? I flew the duvet off my body, I was still putting on my dress, so nothing unusual happened. I sighed, relieved.Fine, I will go out there and ask whoever put me here myself. I stepped out of the bed, locating the door, but before I reached over the door knob, I looked at myself in the mirror across the room. Oh my god!I nearly screamed. I looked like shit, my hair was disheveled and mas
I squinted my eyes as I searched for Zavi as the smoke slowly faded. I saw him hanging shirtless with hands bonded to the chain which held the ceiling. Will had gone to search for Janie with my father, while it was only I and Andrea who had come to save Zavi. We had the upper hand because we had his men down, Matteo excluded. The dick has gone to hide. "Well, well, well. I underestimated you, Nora." I heard him say from one of those boxes. "Come out, coward!." I spat.There was silence, but immediately I heard his gun click, we both took cover as he fired more bullets at us without looking, soon his gun was empty, he cussed and threw it away. "Come out now!." I sang as my hand went to the trigger. "Let me take care of him," Andrea smirked and went towards Matteo, suddenly he kicked Andrea as she flew back falling on her face. She hissed loudly and stood up, Matteo walked out with a knife. "Now, let's fight." He stated and stood in a fighting stance as Andrea attacked. I ran ac
Zavi's povI was chained like an animal, beside me stood a table where all the machinery used for torturing were kept.They've already used it on me, especially the electric weapon. I was tired, my breathing was slow, and the only thing that mattered was Nora and my babies. So, those things don't matter, I had done worse. I had known when Alec died, that it was turn by turn, if my life ends now, I'm fulfilled that I have Nora and of course I have my triplets. The iron door creaked open, making me look up at the door. Matteo smiled, walking in with his hand behind his back. I scoffed, he must be feeling proud, proud that he had the Italian boss chained like an animal."How do you feel, Mr. Mafia?." I shook my head, "Matteo," I called softly, my voice very low. "Don't look at me like that, you've done worse." He spat."I know, but maybe this is the only thing you've ever achieved in your life." I mocked him. His smile disappears from his face. I wheezed coughing up a spray of bl
I looked skeptically at my dad for a few more minutes. What if he wanted to spy on us? I didn't trust my family anymore. Everything I've gone through all my life was because they didn't tell me the truth, they didn't tell me I was involved in the mafia from the beginning, they hadn't let me know who I was and who I shouldn't be involved with. He sold me to the mafia, something he'd never do to his daughter. I came to know he'd blamed me for the death of my mother all his life, he treated me very badly after she died. My dad blamed me for coming through a man who raped my mother under his very own nose. I thought Zavi's background was the most complicated, I didn't know mine was worse than his. At least he saw his family to blame, and I had no one to blame. I was an orphan brought up by a step-dad."What if I can't trust you?." I asked him, Irene and Will by my side, very alert."I don't wanna get involved considering that the son of Lucien pulled a bullet on my wife's stomach, but I
Suddenly, he was beside me, his icy barrel of the gun was pressed hard to my temple, and his hand covered my neck. Zavi runs in and stops seeing as Matteo held me down at gunpoint. "Let her live. Matt." Zavi seethed, his arms twitching by his sides as he contemplated what to do. Zavi's hand slowly went to his gun.Matteo's hand tightened around my neck causing me to cough."If I were you, I wouldn't want that." "Matteo, you're a coward." I spat."Shut up," He growled, "I was waiting for the best time to strike." I scoffed."Is this what you wanted?." I asked.Matteo gave a sinister laugh, "You know what I want all my life.""Shut up, I'm not talking to you, dickhead. Janie, is this what you wanted? You gave me to the bastard who killed our mother, why can't I trust all of my step-siblings?." "No. I'm not like him, Nora." Her voice came, "You are used as leverage. That's all."I blinked."Matteo, what the fuck do you want?." Zavi spoke slowly."Nice question." He answered as he sp
"Dear Diary, I found an angel. Someone who'd put me out of hell." I read out aloud and smiled, it's so surprising Zavi kept Journals. I had gone through his old stuff and found this book under his wardrobe. I opened it to see that it had been ages since he visited that. On the last page\thing he wrote, he stated; 'I wish I'd never been born,'. It was some miserable statement he wrote because of his father. His most embarrassing moment was the first day he saw Anita, he tripped and fell into the water fountain. I snorted a laugh and looked up at him from the bed as he walked out of the bath."Hey..uhm hubby. Do you wear anything apart from suits?." He turned around, "I've always worn a suit all my life, why do you ask?." I bit the bottom of my lip, "Because my mom's anniversary is today, and I don't want you to dress like a cold-blooded killer,"He hit his forehead, "Oh my god! You're going to visit the hospital today, my love. The doctor's appointment is today."I robbed my tum
I'm pregnant.There are things that you know it's true but you still can't believe it is. I'm fucking pregnant with a child. It's unbelievable that there's a fetus growing in me. I sobbed as I sat up. Zavi looked at me worriedly, "Are you not happy?." He asked softly, rubbing my tummy slowly."It's tears of joy. Never would I think I would have a baby." He pulled me into his body, stroking my hair gently. "I'm happy that you want it. We both are gonna be the best parents." He cooed, placing his jaw on top of my head. "Who would think little Nora would bring a child to this world? My chances of survival had been very slim.""Don't say that baby." He stated strongly."I know you feel like I'm safe because your father is dead, my brother is still out there looking for a way to finish me off. Do you think this child needs to come now?." I felt him tense, I slowly went out of his arm to look at his face, "We can't bring this baby now, the world we live in is very dangerous, for both
I sat on the bed of Alec, watching Becca stand in front of his picture. The death which befell us was still fresh in our memories. I felt like I'm being cursed or something. Everyone who ever loved me died one after the other. If I hadn't left that night, if I had listened to William, I wouldn't have been taken by Don Lucien and Alec wouldn't have died. "He loved you very much." She sniffed and turned to look at me, her eyes were swollen, and her face was pale."He loved everyone, Becca," I stated."I know right? He's ever put everyone first before him, never had he experienced happiness. Alec had feelings for you, a feeling that he can never share with anyone. He talked about you all the time, he had you in his heart all day, have you ever spoken to him about his feelings for you? Have you ever acknowledged those priceless feelings?.``"Words don't cut it in terms of these things, I have loved him like a brother, Alec knew that," I answered, feeling a pang of guilt in my heart."Don
I know I'm not gonna live forever, I know one day we'll all die. Hell, I wasn't expecting to live forever. Our work is dangerous, we all know that to leave our line of work, we must not live, even if I'm alive now, we'll all die one day. It's just a matter of when to face death. She came into my life and brought me the joy of being someone in life. She gave me hope and fulfillment, she let me know we were not monsters, we were humans born under the wrong family. That was why I would do anything, even if it meant giving my life away. For her and her happiness, I would do more than take a bullet for her, as long as my death was for a good cause. ***Zavi's pov.Alec was loading pistols, his eyes were dark as he glanced up at me. "Now let's go finish this off once and for all." I slide to his side as we both held our shoulders, he's stood beside me all his life, he's loved me, and he's been the best brother that I ever had. I had more words to say to him but my eyes said it all. I
Zavi's pov.I drove home with speed after I got the text from an unknown number, I knew it was Andrea telling me something was happening to Nora. I reached the sitting room and grabbed Will from behind. "Where is Nora?." I asked, my eyes gradually flaring up with anger. "She's at Sean's party." He replied, almost immediately. My heart tightened as I clenched my fists, "You let her go to Sean's party?." "Nora wouldn't listen to me, she just left.."I grabbed my gun out of my trouser and pointed it at his face. Alec quickly blocked my way, "Hey man. It would be fine if we do this some other time. Like right now, Nora needs our help more than anything." I bit my bottom lip and lowered my gun, I walked out on them quickly.I drove to the venue where Sean's party was, determined to blow off someone's head. The rage I felt inside me was gradually building up inside me, all I could think of was seeing Nora. I walked into the music-filled place, passing by many people as my eyes darte
