Lyra

I wasn't sure what to make of Adrian's reaction to my question.

Suspicious?

Yes, but that didn't mean he was actually part of the mafia, right?

I sighed.

If anything, he was just overly protective and wondered where I had heard such information about him, but... maybe it was also true.

I nearly jumped out of my skin when Bella suddenly whispered in my ear beside me in the car that Kael had ordered for us to take back to the hotel.

He was also in the car at the passenger seat and probably the reason Bella was whispering, though Greg didn't seem to care.

He looked to be intrigued or annoyed by the man; I wasn't so sure.

"What?" I asked when I got my heart back.

"Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you," she whispered again, glancing repeatedly at Kael.

"No, it's fine. I was just zoned out and didn't expect you to whisper."

"Well, did you find anything?"

It took me some time to shake my head in a negative response.

I wish I had, or maybe I had; I wasn't sure.

I still couldn't push the thoug

    Adrian"How did he die?" I asked Kael a few hours later as we walked to my car, and he started the car once we got into it."Assassination. His family is investigating the perpetrator.""Do you have an idea who it is?"He shook his head. "Maybe the Bellini family. Everyone knew he had problems with them."Right, I could just imagine."Our men are on it also." He added"Okay, but why would they kill a major supplier like that instead of turning him over to their side? I mean, that would make more sense even if they had problems.""Well, the Bellini's are known for their unreasonable actions, so...""Right."But this was going to be quite a huge problem for me considering the fact that he was one of our main suppliers and a close associate of mine.I turned to my window when we passed by Adrian in the driveway."Hey," he called out and came to meet us.He was about to go make friends with Lyra and her friends, and even though I was anxious about that, I didn't show it.I had more import

    Adrian"Do you think this is a good idea?" Kael asked me as we walked into the cemetery quite close to Enzo's family house two days later, and I nodded."I'm not going to shy away from paying my respects just because some people think I killed him."He smiled, "Uhm... that 'people' is his family.""And I didn't kill him, so..."He shrugged and left the argument, and I walked ahead of him to the people that were gathered in front of Enzo's graveyard.There weren't a lot of people, but the people there were mostly important associates. Most of them were people I knew, and the rest were people that knew me.I ignored their stares and whispers as I walked towards the front where his coffin had been lowered, and I paused in front of the grave, trying to pick up a flower from the bunch, when his son approached me."Didn't I make myself clear the last time? I don't want you here!"I smiled and faced him, my hand picking up the flower I had intended to pick, and I patted his chest gently afte

    Lyra"Hey"I rolled my eyes at the guy that approached me, his red hair unmistakable among the dancing crowd—I was pretty sure that was not his real hair color—and he sat down beside me.Alfredo."Are you stalking me now or what?" His lips turned up slightly in a smile. "Just enjoying the club.""Yeah, and every other place I've been to?"He picked up a drink, still smiling, "Just wanted to join your little party.""Why? Because Adrian put you up to it."His smile dimmed a little. "My brother doesn't tell me what to do.""Oh, he's your brother?""Yes." He obviously missed my sarcasm because he added, "I thought you would have known that by now."I rolled my eyes.Of course, I had guessed that already. They looked quite similar, except for the blonde hair, of course, but apart from that, they had pretty much the same features."So are you the youngest or oldest?"He turned fully to me, "Take a guess."I pursed my lips, "Youngest.""Why?""Because you look immature."I smirked at the d

    LyraI was still quite shaken when I got back to the house, the tremors going through my body lightly, and I went out to the beach once Bella and Greg slept off in their beds."Lyra?" Bethany asked once she picked up the video call I had placed to her, sounding sleepy, and I checked the time."Yeah, sorry to wake you up." It should be around six over there."No. No. Is everything alright?""Yeah. Yes. I think so...""What is it?""I... I almost got raped today.""What?! Are you okay?!""Yup."The laugh left my mouth before I could even stop myself."Lyra...""I'm fine. I'm fine. Seriously."I hadn't even realized how shaken up I was by the whole thing until I got back into a taxi that brought us home, but I was fine now."Are you sure?""Yes. Just wanted to hear your voice and... talk to you."You do know I have to be in school in a few hours, though."I rolled my eyes, "You and your academic passion.""Fine. Spill."Thirty minutes later, she went totally silent on the phone and tried

    AdrianI glanced down at the pajamas she clearly was in and waited for her to give me a response."Uhm... I... I was just sightseeing.""In your pajamas"She stared at me for a while before pushing me away from her. "Why should I tell you where I'm headed? It's none of your business.""Okay. Good luck then."I walked away from her, heading past the receptionist that bowed slightly in greeting, and I smiled knowingly when she called for me."Wait!""Ma'am, you can't..."I stopped the security that tried to stop her and turned to her, "What?""I... Where are we?"I shook my head in disbelief. "You don't even know where you are?"She shrugged and folded her arms, and I nodded for her to follow me. "What? Where are we going?""My hotel room"I backed her against the wall once we got into the elevator and trailed my fingers down her neck."W-what are you doing?"I gave her no answer as I continued my descent down the middle of her collarbone and to the button that showed off too much of he

    LyraBella and Greg were waiting for me in the living room, concerned when I got back, and they both hurried to my side before I stepped in properly."What happened?""Where did you go?""Right. I'm sorry, guys. I quickly went to meet someone and got back just now."Jeez," Bella collapsed on a couch with a sigh and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "And I thought you had gotten attacked or eaten by a shark."I chuckled, "You know there are no sharks here.""Well, men could very well pass as sharks too."Greg touched his chest as if hurt, "Ouch, that hit home."She smiled, "Don't worry, sweetheart. You're more of my princess than a man."She chuckled as Greg hit her with a throw pillow, and I went up the stairs to change my clothes and dress up while smiling too.Until I got to my room, though.The smile left my face.My plan had gone to waste.The stalking or following.I was sure I would have heard something if I hadn't been caught by that asshole, but I had, and now I was back

    Lyra"So tell me, what does this... special lady like, and what is her height, size, and..." I trailed as I looked around the store, taking in its luxurious feel.It was expensive, high class, and also empty, which was strange because I had seen a lot of people here the last time I walked in a few days ago."She's about your height, size, and width."He sat on a chair and brought out his phone. "Hmm, are you trying to say I'm that special lady?"It was a tease, definitely a tease, but the way he scrunched up his face like I had said an abomination made my stomach sink for some reason again."Uhm... Not in your wildest dreams."I scowled and walked away."Well, since we're almost the same in everything, I'll be checking the clothes on myself and you'll give your approval. Okay?"He nodded absentmindedly, still going through his phone, and I seized it before he could comprehend what I was doing."You called me here; no way you think I'll let you be on your phone."He sighed and stretche

    Adrian"What?!"What?!There was no way."What do you mean?" I asked, stepping forward with alarm written all over my face, and she raised up her phone."My birthday isn't until tomorrow, the 16th. Today is the 15th."I felt like burying myself under the ground."What?! So you're telling me I did that all for nothing?"The dresses, allowing her to dress me up and her antics. I had only agreed to get her out of the house because the three of them had requested it of me. They needed her out of the house to get the decorations going, and they had preferred to have Alfredo as an extra hand instead of me.But it was all for nothing?!And to think I had done it because I felt guilty for taking her away from her life in New York.I groaned and ran a hand through my hair again, quite pissed and disappointed."But..." Greg stepped forward. "...I thought it said on your file the 15th.""Which file?""Your file in school.""No, it's the 16th. Guys..." She smiled."...it's okay, though; we can s

    BellaOne month later,The town was just as quiet yet noisy as I remembered it. Most tourists were bustling around as they got some things, and I picked out a few things myself for dinner since we didn't have the luxury of ordering pizza here."Here." The elderly man said as he handed me the ingredients for soup I had bought, and I paid him in cash, thanking him as I left.Seriously, where was this girl, Quinn?I glanced around, trying to find my companion, who was just as dazed as a child by the things he found here.Okay, yes, there was a lot of antique and beautiful stuff, but getting lost among the crowd because of that was not...I gasped and smiled when I suddenly felt her arms wrapped around me from behind."Seriously?"She smiled, kissing away the scowl I had only just managed to plaster on my face."See what I found." She raised up a type of camera that looked really ancient."Wow..." That really dripped with a lot of sarcasm, or at least that was what I planned, but I think

    Quinn "Oh fuck!" I sighed in relief when I finally saw that she was okay.Phew!You should have seen the way my heart skipped when I got the news that she had been kidnapped from the condo.Like, how the fuck did that happen?Who was even the...I turned to the other guy in the room, raising my own gun to aim when I finally saw who it was. "Matteo?"He tucked the gun he had been holding into his pocket and faced me."Isn't it odd that no one is here?" And there were no dead bodies outside or within.It was almost as if no one else was here except us, and that was weird. If this had been a kidnap mission like he had said, after all, he was the one who had sent me the video of him being kidnapped, then called me to tell me he found her.I raised my eyebrows, immediately becoming suspicious, and raised my gun again.He rolled his eyes, knowing exactly my thought process."You still don't get it, do you?""What?""This is what might happen if you guys keep up with what you've been doing.

    BellaThings kept going great after that.Days after that.The sex.The glances.This thrilling feeling that came with just being around her.I threw my head back and moaned loudly when her tongue slipped into my pussy, slopping quite loudly."Ahh... Quinn..." It felt so good."Hmm-mm. Feels good, huh?"I nodded, unable to get the words out thanks to her adding another finger to the finger that was already driving me crazy by my clit, and she raised her head up after another mind-blowing orgasm on that same kitchen counter.I smiled and opened my mouth wide to accept her kiss when she raised her head up a moment later.God.So obscene and hot, I loved it.The twirl of her tongue, the salty but sweet taste, she bit on my bottom lip for a second when we finally pulled apart minutes later."God, Matteo is going to kill me, but..."Right, her meeting with that Moretti lady. She had told me about it a few days ago when we decided to come to this condo for privacy.Yes, it was the condo we

    QuinnWe all got into the car, with Matteo taking the wheel again after we finished with Hastings, and we maintained the silence we had kept on our way here—except for the time I caught Riley staring, or maybe it was the other way round as I had been staring too—till we got home.Both I and Riley got out when he got to the house. Matteo remained inside to drive the car to the garage, and I waited for him to drive away before I caught Riley's hand in mine.She glanced at me for the first time since we left the lawyer's office. Seems like the visit to the lawyer hit her hard all over again.She blinked a number of times. "What?""Come with me.""Huh?"I didn't give her a chance to understand what I was about to do before I was dragging her all the way with me to the back of the house, where I let go of her hand to search through a bunch of thick bushes that had some flowers in them.I turned back for a moment to see her giving me this ridiculous look. At least she wasn't looking so sad

  • My Dad's Mafia Bestfriend   Chapter 62

    BellaThe drive to the office was dead-ass silent. Like I'm talking pin-drop, cemetery-type silence as we all sat huddled in the car, and I smiled at Matteo for the third time when we made eye contact through the car mirror just because I was not willing to get caught fixating on the person beside me.He smiled back again, definitely thinking I'm weird or at least acting weird.I sighed deeply.After the little confession session we had out in the alley the other day, what am I saying, yesterday, I would have expected things to be more expressive between us.You know... those things people in relationships do, but for some reason, we have just been avoiding each other for the most part of today; I couldn't understand why.Okay, I know I'm part of the problem since I'm not making any moves, but at least she should do something, right?Ugh!I fidgeted unconsciously, pissed at all this tension and weirdness.I glanced at Quinn for the hundredth time even though I've kind of convinced mys

    Bella"Huh?"I kept my hands around her shoulder, unable to move my legs anyway because of how wobbly they were, and I stared up into her eyes once she said that.She stared at me too, quite troubled."I think I might like you too."Okay, not love, but at least we were past the fuck buddy stuff.She pulled away and ran her hand through her hair after a moment of just staring at each other.Like, what do we do now? Have some more sex. Kiss.She nodded towards the club and back at me, "Are you going to... We should go home or..."Right, I had even forgotten I was drunk before and kissing another lady because the thought of being just a fuck buddy to her had irritated me.Now that she had said she liked me, I felt more sober than drunk.I moved away from the wall and stumbled a bit right before gaining my balance."Yeah."I wondered where home was now.The family house?Maybe. After all, it was my father's house but more Quinn's than mine now. I was definitely going to feel out of place.

    Quinn Drunk, annoyed, tipsy; maybe still drinking, was what I had been expecting when I stepped into the club; the GPS had indicated the car was parked in a few minutes later. But instead of that, the person I had come to look for was by the bar, kissing a lady that basically had her whole body on her now. I felt my insides twist with this feeling I couldn't quite place. Jealousy. I wouldn't know, but just the sight of what they were doing and the fact that they kept kissing had me storming over to them without warning and basically throwing the other lady across the room before I could stop myself. Those familiar amber eyes stared up at me in surprise, "Quinn." I didn't wait for her to get another word out before I was dragging her out of the club and into an alley that enveloped us in complete darkness if not for the flickering streetlight beside it. She tore her hand away from me and glared, stumbling a bit when I turned to face her. Oh, she was drunk but still...

    Quinn Matteo didn't seem to buy the it's just sex theory, though, and I sighed, turning away from him."Is that advisable though?"I shrugged, "Why not? It's not like I forced her to have sex with me.""But she's..."Yes, Jose's daughter. I knew and shouldn't have started any of... I wasn't even sure what we had now, especially if she really felt the way she had said earlier."I think I love you."I pushed the words to the back of my mind, facing Matteo, who sighed in resignation again."Just be careful. Getting involved with her could make things dangerous, and you shouldn't have any distractions, especially in the early stages of this..."Taking over, he meant.It was already my fourth month as the leader of this organization, and things were going well, at least on the surface.I nodded and sat behind my desk, shoving thoughts of how naked a certain person had been on that desk a minute ago.He sat opposite me.I kind of knew what he might want to bring up."Hayden..."Yup, knew i

    Bella Fuck!I grinded my hips against the table, chasing after the high that had come over me as I came super hard on Quinn's tongue a minute earlier, and she raised her head to my lips to kiss me after that, sucking my tongue and spreading my salty taste all over our mouths.It was obscene but also hot."Hmm..." I purred, loving it."Get on your knees, princess. Time to put that mouth to use." And even though I had been willing to do that, hearing her say that while she leaned back against the chair in the study had me hot and bothered on a whole new level.Fuck, and this was not what I had been planning when I left Lyra's house.Like yes, I had wished and fantasized about having sex with her over the past three months that I was supposed to use to figure out my life, but I had also been planning to talk about whatever the hell I was feeling.Now I wasn't even sure what was going on in my mind anymore, but that wasn't going to stop me from doing what she ordered, though, so I got on
