Lyra

The house was quiet, the lights off and the moon shining on it, and I winced a little when I tried to ring the doorbell, forgetting to use my uninjured hand.

Ding.

Ding.

No answer.

Wasn't he here?

"Ugh!"

So much for going to the mountain.

He was probably in Sicily.

I tapped in the door code, deciding to go in for a drink or something before I left, and I tripped over something the minute I walked in.

Like a line or something.

I looked around for it once I stood up properly and turned on the lights for help only to see nothing.

The fuck?!

I went straight to the kitchen, pouring a glass of whiskey for myself even though the doctor had said I should abstain for a few more days, but you know what? Fuck it.

No one knew when they might die, and I definitely didn't want to go to hell without having a taste of alcohol again.

Ugh, I should have stopped Kael from leaving or at least getting Adrian's new number because his old one has been refusing to go.

Did he intentionally cut me off?

    Lyra"Five days after several establishments of Adrian Mancini, the CEO of the Mancini Group, exploded, police authorities have concluded on the case and confirmed the source to be a series of classified military bombs, which are obviously not open to the public. This brings about the question of..."Dad turned off the TV when he walked into my hospital room again, carrying some drugs, and he came to my side."You shouldn't be watching that.""Why?""Because... you need to rest, and that is not going to help."I rolled my eyes. "What of Adrian?"He had been around the whole five days of my stay at the hospital, but now that I was getting discharged, he was nowhere to be found."I don't know.""Dad..."It's either he knew from the way he was avoiding my eyes or he had done something."Dad!"He finally looked at me, "What?""What did you do?""Nothing. Just... I told him to leave for me to talk to you.""Okay..."He sat down on the bed beside me and held my hand. "You do know you're in

    LyraIt wasn't until 4 am the next day that we slept off in each other's arms, exhausted from all the fucking and orgasms that we gave each other, and I tossed and turned, confused when I woke up to an empty bed beside me.Huh?Where was he?The delicious smell of coffee and bacon wafting through my nostrils immediately led me to where he was, and he dropped the spoon in his hand when I walked in."Fuck. Lyra."I glanced down at my body, which he was staring at, and tried not to blush."You're the one who tore my sweats yesterday."He chuckled and lifted me onto the counter, his lips claiming mine hungrily.I wrapped my hand around his neck and kissed him back just as hungrily.He pulled back when the bacon started to burn."Go put on some clothes, or I might just spread you for brunch instead of this bread and bacon."I felt my pussy pool at the thought."That doesn't sound so bad."He paused in his movements and stared at me like he might just go through with it until he turned arou

    AdrianThe vacation sadly came to an end a few days later, because beautiful as the place might be, I had other things to do and important chapters to close, one of them being Alfredo.I helped Lyra into the car when we finished packing the little things that we hadn't even bought but met here, and I got into the driver's seat, nostalgic.I was going to miss this, her and this laughter on her face, because after the next thing I'm planning to do, I'm not sure she's going to want to look at me at all, no matter how much she might love me.I trailed my fingers down her face and tucked her honey brown hair behind her ears before kissing her lightly on the forehead."I'm going to miss you."She smiled, "Why do you sound like you're going away?"Her expression suddenly changed. "Are you?""No. No. I'm here... Just... I'll miss this place.She smiled again and shrugged, "We can always come back for another recovery session."I chuckled and put the car in gear, and I drove out of the propert

    LyraI went back to school a few days later, Bella and Greg assisting me with the syllabus, and I had some alone time with my dad too.Just like those days before all this."Cut the veggies; I'll get started on the chicken. Then we can boil the rice too."He turned to the gas cooker to get started on the chicken, and I cut up the vegetables.We were trying to make chicken soup."The rice," he called out minutes later to bring my attention to it, and I drained it a few minutes after that."Whew!" He said when we finally sat down to a bowl of rice and chicken soup each."Delicious as always."He smiled, "Thanks to you and me."I dug in almost immediately and moaned at how good the mixture tasted in my mouth.It hasn't always been this good. In fact, my dad was a terrible cook a few years ago, but after coming back from college to take over custody of me from his mom, he had learned how to cook with me. Then, he spoiled me with the chefs and cooks when the money came."So how is school?"

    Adrian It was happening.She was here.Beautiful as ever in the stunning black and red dress I had known would look good on her, and she had the mask covering her face also.It would be unnecessary, though."Thank you all for coming to this party, which you all know isn't meant to take place for another month, but because of the recent happenings, we moved it up and have three new scapegoats."I gulped down the drink in my hand and placed it on the table on the stage."We have my beloved brother, who thought it was wise to go against me after our years together. What can we say? Your enemy is the closest person to you. Then we have our very own Bellinis, who joined hands with my brother. They have lost about everything they have now because of greed. Lesson? I don't think I need to spell it out. Our actions here today would give you all the warning needed. Now, if you will all take off your masks."The murmurings started almost immediately while some guards pulled down our scapegoats

    LyraOne month later,I adjusted myself on the chair, gasping when the vibration went up another notch between my legs, and I pressed my thighs together."Miss Lancaster?"I jumped up, startled when Bella hit my arm, coupled with the teacher's voice calling me loudly, and I glanced around."Yes, sir.""Would you care to explain what I said last?"Fuck!What did he say?Ugh!Another notch and then, "Fuck!""What?" The murmurs filled the classroom as most of the students turned to face me with surprise on their faces."Excuse me?""No, I didn't mean it that way. I have a..." I grabbed my bag. "... I have a situation and need to take care of it."I ran out of the class, cheeks flaming.Ugh!Fuck that motherfucker, Adrian.I gasped, surprised, when a hand suddenly pulled me into an empty classroom halfway down the hall."The..." I bit on the hand that covered my mouth and tried to knee whoever it was in the balls only for it to turn out to be the motherfucker."Adrian.""Seriously." He re

  • My Dad's Mafia Bestfriend    Author's note

    Hi, everyone. I just want to thank you all for the love and support you've shown to this book since I started. I meant for it to be a single book about Adrian and Lyra but thought along the way, why not write a story for her friends, Greg and Bella, too? Therefore, I'll be continuing this book with Greg's story, which will be M/M, and Bella's story, after which will be W/W. Hope you enjoy them. PS: What do you all think of Adrian and Lyra's story? did you see the betrayal coming? did it catch you off-guard? what areas can I improve the book, or is it okay the way it is? I want to know your thoughts. Thank you all for reading. Ruthiana.

    GregI pushed open my apartment door that evening, pulling in with me the man I had met earlier that day at the club, and he pulled his pants off, taking out his cock."You have a condom, right?" I asked as I wrapped my mouth around his length and he pulled out a wrapper."Good."I led him to my bedroom after a while and collapsed on the bed while pulling out a bottle of lube from the drawer in my room.Shit, I still haven't taken off my clothes."Are you both pretending not to see me or what?"I and my one-night stand both yelped as a man in the corner of the room spoke up in the darkness, and I gaped when I turned on the lights to see Kael standing in the room."What the fuck?! What are you doing here?"The guy whose name I still didn't know backed away, pulling up his pants as he went, "You could have told me you have a boyfriend.""What? No. He's not my boyfriend!"I glared between Kael and the retreating figure till we were left alone in the apartment.I walked up to him and almo

    QuinnI couldn't believe the motherfucker.Really?I thought back to the moment I had gone to the organization's airfield for the private jet only to find out that Juan had taken it moments ago to New York for a little trip.The asshole.What could he possibly be looking for in New York?A new connection.I sighed and picked up a new glass of wine from the two that Adrian poured for us in his private jet.He had agreed to assist me after I ran to him since he was on his way to the city too, and I felt like we might actually become close acquaintances by the time I took over... if it's a success."Are you okay?"I glanced at his face and nodded, "Yes. Why?""You're tense.""Yeah. Not really a fan of airplanes or jets."The only other person that knew that was Jose and... Right, Riley. She had teased me about it right before I shut her up.The thought kind of calmed me down for some reason."You're smiling, though.""Huh?!"

    BellaThe house was quiet after she left, not that it wasn't already quiet before that, but it suddenly felt empty.Like her presence was well felt before, but now it just wasn't there.Well, that was actually the case, but...I lay back on the bed and pondered a lot of things.My father."...Her."Juan, my estranged uncle, had mentioned that.Did he mean my mother?Of course, because who else would I look like?I turned around on the bed and stared out the window.Her.I wondered who she was.Why she left my father or if she actually left him.I really just wanted to know what the whole backstory was, but unfortunately the only person that could tell me that was in a deadly state and likely to die in a few weeks.I wasn't sure what to make of that."Hey." I turned around and glanced at Matteo, the bodyguard who peeked into my room after knocking."I just made dinner if you're interested."It has been a full day since Quinn left for New York for a delivery, as she called it, and Matte

    QuinnWe all stood there for about a minute, each of us staying still as our guns remained aimed at each other, and I noticed the guard in the corner trying to decide who to aim at.It was quite pointless, though, I would say, because I could take them out in a second if I wanted to. I was that good, and he knew it."Fine." He lowered the gun and sighed."Let's call a truce. Luca." The guard dropped his gun and took out every other weapon that was on him after another glance from me.Okay.I dropped my gun too and signaled to Riley to do the same.She did the same after a moment of hesitation and came to my side without any invitation.I pushed her behind me. "So when were you planning to tell me that I have a niece?"I didn't show my surprise at his knowledge because it was pretty obvious anyway if you knew a lot about Jose, like his brother probably knew.They had been in this business before I even came into the picture."Uhm... Never, because I or Jose don't owe you any explanat

    QuinnSix hours ago."As you know, the tumor has spread to other parts of Mr. Lopez's brain, including certain tissues in his spine that control movement. It's a miracle that he was able to move around these past few days even though it was without my permission. Now that stunt might just have worsened things."I felt my heart sink.I knew we were taking a great risk when we carried him out on those visits so soon, but he had insisted because he knew he didn't have time."What is it?""We'll have to wait till he wakes up for me to conclude, but he might not be able to walk again by the time he wakes up. He might experience some memory loss, if not all, and there is the possibility of speech impediment. It's inevitable in the long run, but it might just happen sooner."I felt my heart sink even though he had mentioned this when we first found out."Okay."I wasn't sure what else to say."That would be all then."I nodded to Matteo, who stood outside Jose's room opposite the study, and

    Bella"It's a type of cancer that is quite deadly, and it has spread to important parts of his brain, including his spine, which gives him only a few weeks to live. It'll be a total miracle if he lives past that."I couldn't close my mouth because I was genuinely surprised."How many weeks?""Three."I placed the glass of water I had basically choked on on the island and ran a hand through my short hair—thanks to the lady opposite me."So you're telling me I have just three weeks to get to know the man that abandoned me as a child even though I just met him."Well, maybe not met him as a person but as my father.She nodded slowly, looking concerned, or should I say empathetic, for once.Then what is the point?I might as well just ignore the fact that today happened and live the rest of my life without remembering that I actually met my father."I don't think he abandoned you or meant to..."I glanced up at her.She seemed so different from the Quinn I had first met.This Quinn was em

    BellaI sat opposite the old man, quite curious as to whatever conversation he might want to have with me.The failed mission?My stunt with the code earlier?Whatever it was, I would like to get it over with and find something else to do. But if I were to think about it deeply, what am I meant to do with my life now?I mean, I'm a fugitive. A criminal. A wanted thief to the military. I was on a lot of people's radar and couldn't possibly think of going back to a normal life.I wasn't sure what this group or organization had in store for me either. I just didn't feel so useful right now."So..."Jose cleared his throat."Your necklace. May I ask where you got it?"I raised my hand to hold the necklace unconsciously.I did that at times when I thought about my non-existent parents or felt nervous."Why?""Just curious. It looks quite familiar."I raised my eyebrow and dropped my arm."I don't know. I've always had it on me since I was a child. Maybe it was my parents or something."I h

    QuinnTwo days laterI came down from the black sedan, dressed in a suit shirt and pants because I prefer that to dresses anyway, and I went to the other side of the car to assist Jose as he got out.This was the last visit before the meeting."Adrian..." Jose said as he came out to greet us."I heard you were fighting for your life. How are you feeling now?""Better."I told him about my conversation with Adrian, and that's why we were here last."So... To what do I owe this visit?" He asked as he picked out a bottle of whiskey from his cabinet."Are you able to drink or...""I'd rather not." He nodded as he poured both himself and me a drink.I sat beside Jose by the minibar as he slipped the drink to me."Thanks.""Sure. So..."Jose sighed and stared directly into Adrian's eyes. "I don't have much time."The silence was loud until he continued."I'm likely to die in a few weeks or days. These things are unpredictable.""Hmm...""And as much as we leaders love to leave the family b

    QuinnThe sun was already up by the time I made it back to the base, my body exhausted and my arm bleeding, and I collapsed on the couch in the empty room after I had locked the door.Juan.I couldn't believe he had set me up.Like yes, I should have expected it knowing how sly and cunning he was, but I hadn't expected that Leonardo would go with it either.Ugh!The motherfucker.I was so fucking pissed.More at myself for even going there with the little belief that the transaction could be genuine.At this point, Jose wasn't safe in that house either.I tore off a piece of my shirt to tie around my arm to stop the bleeding, then pulled up my hair into a messy bun in an attempt to calm myself down.First off, I should go back to the house.For all I know, he could have killed Jose off, but I feel like what was keeping him back from doing that was Jose's connection to other gangs and organizations, so he was probably going to get those people over to his side first.Adrian excluded, t

    Bella"No, no, no, no," Lyra immediately said as I started to glance around for any weapon I could use. "It's Greg.""Greg?""Yes."We moved to the door together, where the person outside rang the bell again, and it did indeed turn out to be Greg when we opened the door."Bella." He pulled me in for a hug, squeezing me tight, and his boyfriend, Kael, stood awkwardly behind him."Kael?" I heard Lyra say while I squeezed Greg just as tight too.It's crazy how long we've spent together considering the following years after we met. We've always found the time to see each other.And there was my arrest and everything; I'm sure he has a lot of questions."You know you have a lot of explaining to do?"I nodded when he pulled back."I'm sorry about how everything went.""Yeah..."He led me into the living room where Lyra was already seated with Kael. They were bantering over something."You...""What? Bitch? Adrian is going to kill you."She hurried away before he could catch her."Wait, thou
