She stared at me, not replying, then whispered "I love you Romeo" and then hung up immediately. Wait. What! She said she loves me? I froze up straight away. I couldn't do anything. Goosebumps filled every inch of my skin up. And I stared at nothing in particular my heart rate was so unbalanced. My hands were shaking so bad and I am sure if I get to do anything at the moment, I wouldn't be able to do it perfectly. "I love you baby girl. I swear. I love you so fucking much. I love you more than I ever love anyone. Fuck." I kept mumbling to myself. I feel a burst of sweetened emotion run through me as I try to imagine how I would react when I meet her and she says the actual words to me. My ringing phone distracted my attention, breaking my smile. "Hello." I said as I picked up. "Aren't you coming home? There's a celebration going on, and it seems incomplete without you." "Nah. I ain't supposed to be there. I am not meant for the Mafia, Martina." I replied. "Get your fucking as
"It's even obvious in your voice. I just hope you don't keep secrets from each other because it would break both of you later, and it might be beyond repair," she whispered the last part, and I knew my sister had been broken beyond repair.The conversation Martina and I had last night kept ringing in my mind. I couldn't bring myself to continue talking, as I knew everything she was saying was nothing but the truth. If I keep the fact that I am in the Mafia from Emily, and later in the future, something comes up that makes her know who I really am and the fact that I have killed so many people, it would be a disaster.I knew how hard it was for her to admit how much she loved me, and I know it's not something I should take for granted or toy with. But how do I tell her who I really am, and what I have been doing? Won't she walk away?"Damn, this is harder than it seems," I voiced out, pulling my hair so hard.I just can't bring myself to reveal everything; that's going to be a disaster
"Hello!" She waved in my face, snapping me out of my train of thoughts. "You're done?" I asked her. "Yeah. What were you thinking of, that you didn't even hear what I was saying since?" "Be my girlfriend," I uttered without thinking at all. ★★★ What the heck did I just do? What the fuck did I just do? How would I just rush it like that? God! "What?" She asked after staring at me for a while. "Nah. I um. It's nothing, Emily. You should dress up; I will be waiting outside." I chickened out. "Romeo!" She called. "Yeah." I couldn't look her in the face; her feet became so beautiful all of a sudden that they fascinate me. "What did you say earlier?" She asked. "I umm." She placed her hands on my cheeks, stopping me from talking. "Romeo, look at me." She whispered, and we both stared at each other, and my mind kept beating so bad. My mind was telling me I messed up already. Because I am sure she's thinking of how she would say no and not hurt my feelings, I knew it. I am rushing
"Hello oh!" She waved in my face, snapping me out of my train of thoughts. "You're done?" I asked her. "Yeah. What were you thinking of, that you didn't even hear what I was saying since." "Be my girlfriend," I uttered without thinking at all. ★★★ What the heck did I just do? What the fuck did I just do? How would I just rush it like that? God! "What?" She asked after staring at me for a while. "Nah. I um. It's nothing, Emily. You should dress up, I will be waiting outside. " I chickened out. "Romeo!" She called. "Yeah."

"Okay come let's sort it out now. The earlier the better." He concluded. "Great." I smiled and sat close to him on the bed. "I ain't no saint amore." Emily. Yeah, no one is a saint. We are all sinners, so what the hell is he saying? "We are ain't Saint Pablo. You're a sinner, I am a sinner, so whatcha sayin?" "Trust me, Emily, you really don't wanna hear who I really am. You will run away girl." I got confused at that point, I wasn't expecting him to say something like that, well he hasn't said anything yet tho, but saying I don't want to hear who he really is has made me so fucking curious that I really really want to know who he is. "Now, you are getting me so interested and I am so anxious to know who you really are." I sat up and faced him with my jaw on my palm and my elbow on my knees. "You're just saying all of these because you don't know me." He whispered, then smiled bitterly. "You impregnated your ex and told her to abort it?" I asked because that's the only i
I stood right on the balcony, and watched him leave, it was painful but I just needed a break from all this. Yes, you heard me right I need a break. Flashback. "Te Amo" he whispered. What the fuck does that mean "Pablo, you know I ain't Spanish, what does that mean?" I chuckled. "It means I love you." He answered with a lovely smile. "But I thought it's te Quiero!" "Well, they can mean similar things though. But Te Amo is not something you'd say to a long-time friend or a 2nd cousin. Saying te amo is much more romantic and affectionate, and is usually reserved for serious relationships and immediate family members." "I love you, Pablo," I whispered. "I love you too, girl. " He pecked my lips, then smiled "Let me continue from where I stopped "Every single thing I did after I met you, was to get close to you. My prayer was for us to get close to each other." "Do you remember the day Zander came to show you the labour team, and I got to see you up close, and even shake y
"Don't tell me you guys aren't together anymore!" She yelled… "We weren't together before, we just started dating, or should I say we just wanted to give it a try and we started today, just a few hours ago and we're already having unnecessary issues. I really don't know what to do Mary, I am just so frustrated. Why does it have to be me? Why am I not always lucky when it comes to relationships? What…" "Hey. Hey. It's okay. Trust me. You shouldn't do this to yourself, and you know it. Besides whatever argument you guys had shouldn't be so serious that it would result in you crying your eyes out. Just take it to cool okay? And I'm here for you. Both of ya would resolve this in no time. I know that." "Mary. You don't know what happened!" I said and I got up from her embrace, walked towards the balcony again, only to see Pablo's car packed outside the gate, and his side glass was winded down, he had his head in his hands and it was obvious he's crying. My heart broke into a million piec
"Mama." I whispered a little knocking on her door so softly. We have been hugging each other for more than ten minutes now, and she's still parting my back and singing the lullaby. I feel a little better than before as I let it all out.. my tears and all. It's cool actually. "Will you say what happened now?" Mama asked. "She loves me mama, but can't be with me." I whispered, resting my head on the headboard of her bed, because I know with the way my head is banging I would fall asleep anytime from now. "Then she doesn't. Love involves sacrifice. I didn't know that Marcello was in the Mafia until my life was threatened by another mafia group. I confronted him about it, and he had to tell me the truth." "And you stayed mama." "If I don't, will you still meet me here? " she answered. "No, what I meant is, and you agreed immediately that you would be with him? Not taking some time for me to think about what you're about to go into?" "No. I took some time off. I left him for mon
That's bad luck, you know?" Pablo said, chuckling… "Nah..dumb ass. it's because it will bring up a very bad, deep and hard fuck, that's why they tag it as bad luck… there's nothing there." He said, making Isabella turn red like a tomato, out of embarrassment. "Shut the fuck up love… jeez. Bye Emily, I need to go now… see y'all later." With that, she rushed out of the house, straight into the elevator.Pablo walked to my form with a smug smile. "How could you think I'll just give you the penthouse and not the building itself? Girl, you own it all." He whispered that last part more to me. "I had no idea, I only wanted the penthouse, not the whole hotel." I said. "Um. Okay… but is spreading out a crime? You spread out to HawaiI till you become so big that you'll need so many other managing directors then you'll call upon your board of directors, just that this time, they will all be under you." "That's very nice, you've got it all planned out for me yeah." I whispered to him. "
"You know if I don't know how strong you're emotionally, I'll call you a fucking baby. And I really don't know why my women are giving me a hard time.." he mumbled the last part more to himself.Emily POV. We entered the penthouse, and I fell in love immediately with the design and interior."Wow. This is absolutely gorgeous. It's so breathtaking. I'm so in love with this" I gushed out, even Nancy was looking at the place in awe as she came along with us to help me set up the boys room. "You like it?" He asked. "I like it? C'mon I'm in love with this. This has my heart and soul, and oh my god… look at the balcony" I gushed as I walked towards the balcony with a smile on my face. "Then, it's yours." Pablo announced. "What's that?" I asked, confused, still carried away by the sea view in front of me. "You love this place, yeah?" He asked again, while I turned and faced him. "Of course, I do." "It's yours!" He said with a smile. "Don't. Don't play pranks on me, I'll punch you if
"Nah, it's not the wedding. It's just generally… and my instincts are never wrong… ""Whatever that might happen is non of our business, and Romeo, I don't want you getting involved with them. And I mean it." I warned. "Okay, mum." He teased. "You're such an ass."The next day being Friday, we all dressed up, got our bags, and went straight to Pablo's parents' place. Because Mama wants to attend as well, Papi wouldn't because he can't leave the family business just lying fallow with nobody there maintaining and seeing the affairs of both the company, the house, and the mafia. I'm sure nothing was going to happen, but he just don't want to travel that long journey at all."Oh, look at my darling, and how are my babies faring?" Mama said to me immediately after we got out of the car... I smiled then walked to her side to hug her, she rubbed my protruding tummy. Then brought her face up and rubbed my "Oh mio Dio, hai mangiato? Guarda quanto sei magro? Paolo, vieni qui! Le dai da ma
With that, I restarted my car, reversed, and drove out of his compound, I drove straight into a restaurant where I ordered food and began to surf the internet, even when I knew it wasn't a nice decision.I stumbled across a blog, where celebrity gossip was shared. I hissed slightly, then clicked the account, it shared a lot of information about many celebrities. With things that should be shared and things that shouldn't. I saw that of Isabella and noticed she was planning her wedding..."Wow, how can she plan her wedding, without letting her brother know about it?" I said to myself and smiled at their family's trashy behavior, but at the same time I began to wonder, what if she had told Leo, and he didn't tell me about it? Even if he told me, would I attend the wedding? And what day is even the wedding? Where are they having it? Do I even have any clothes that would fit the event if I even get invited? "Damn, a small rich party before it all goes sour ain't that bad yeah," I muttere
Over the next few days, I worked tirelessly to make arrangements for her wedding. We contacted vendors, visited venues, and finalized the details of the ceremony and reception. It was a lot of work, but we were determined to make her dream wedding a reality.It took its toll on me, and I had to step back when Pablo began to complain, saying I was working, I was also majorly planning Isabella's wedding, I was taking care of the boys, and I was pregnant. He complained that I wasn't giving myself enough rest, just as the doctor had advised, and it was really annoying, because he was getting worried, and I was feeling unfazed by everything."You dealt with Jamal and Jaf'ar's pregnancy alone, and that was because that cunt was a bastard. I will not allow that to repeat itself now Emily." He complained as we both argued. "You're just taking all of this too personal, there's no need to…" "You're personal to me Laura, don't you get it! I do not want you working with our baby in you! And tha
With that he pushed me carefully out of the bathroom, I walked straight into the closet to wear my clothes because I'd taken my bath already, and I spoke to Nancy to help me prepare a meal for the boys, Pablo would order food for himself and I'd get food when I need to, for now, I just want to stay and be on my own. I bid my boys goodbye and made Pablo promise to take them to the daycare because he can decide to play with them throughout and not go to work. I was welcomed with joy at work, and many said I'm glowing, well I think it's the baby. I decided to hold a meeting and check out how far they've gone with me not around, and award those that needed to be awarded, promote those that needs to, and demote those that deserves to be demoted, I didn't leave for a month plus to come back and meet slack workers and my work left in shambles. "Good day everyone" I greeted as we started the meeting. "Can we start up already?" I continued '`Ma'am, we were able to get our new product and ar
"Um. When it gets to you, check it and please be fast about it. In the space of next week, I should be done with the whole shit, try and get that prison work done really fast. Okay." I said to him,"Okay ma'am," he said then chuckled."Okay, I gotta go now...I need to prepare where to travel to, the hotel to stay till I rent an apartment and some other things actually let's have a detailed conversation later. Okay?""Okay, dear. Take care" and with that, I hung up.★★★I drove back to the house, with Fredi on my mind, I need to get him a nanny, because I'm very sure that I'll get extra busy these next few days, but at the same time getting a nanny would mean someone would always be at the house, and I don't know who she might decide to get loyal to, either me or Leo. Let me just endure till it all unfolds and I get my ass out here finally.I drove into the compound, got down from the car, and walked inside."Where do I go? I need to go somewhere they'll never think of, I need a new ID
We spoke for more than an hour, he told me everything i needed to know about my mum and about himself, he even promised to come over and see me at the office, he also promised to collaborate with me, and teach me somethings to help my company move further and expand later in life. He called in Papa and Pablo, and they spoke at length, also they spoke about drugs and the likes, and i knew that was my clue to leave. He also warned Pablo telling him, i have seen a lot of heart break and that he knows about it as well, so he shouldn't try breaking my heart. While Pablo told him that he just go to know me recently he shouldn't give me a reason to cry. Because he (pablo) won't mind if he was my dad, and that he's going to put a bullet across his fore-head.★★★★★ Hannah Pov. One Month LaterIt's been a month and we are on our way back home, it's been a fun filled trip and when i said fun filled, i meant sex filled, food filled, play filled, and a lot more. We did quite a lot of things and
"And this was when we went on our first official date, when she finally agreed to date me, although secretly. It was only my bodyguard who's my driver that got to know" he gave me the picture and both mum and dad were holding hands. "Here, was when we had our six months anniversary" he said, cleaning his tears. "Then her was when she got seriously ill i didn't even want to take this picture but she insisted." He explained. "You were really eye catchy back then Dad." I said, and he froze staring straight at me★★★★★He stared at me like i was the only thing that mattered. The tear that rolled down his eyes broke my soul. I had initially come here with the plan to blame him for my mum's death, but it looks as if he's has been grieving ever since she had left him. "Randi…" he groan out. Papa signalled to Pablo to follow him, and both of them left the room, i am sure that was to give us some breathing and rebounding space, i made sure to collect the remaining pictures from papa before
