Promised to a Ruthless Mafia Chapter 75
Atasha's POVI headed towards the kitchen while Conrad stepped out of the house to take the call.Sebastian already left, he said goodbye through text. I felt bad for leaving him in the kitchen and I even forgot to bid goodbye so I invited him to have breakfast here tomorrow.I settled in the kitchen and took a bottle of tequila.I am busy drinking by myself and after a few shots, I can already feel the alcohol rushing through my veins.After a while, I saw Conrad set his feet inside the kitchen."You're leaving?" I asked. Conrad looked at me then his eyes shifted to the bottle that I am holding."Why are you drinking?" he asked not answering my question.I simply smiled at him and then pour another shot."Liquor helped me fall asleep," I reasoned.He let out a deep breath and then steal the tequila from my hold."You've had enough, you should sleep," he said in a baritone and authoritative voice.He sounded like the old Conrad. A strict and ruthless Conrad."You sounded like him," I

Conrad's POVI stared at Atasha's face intently and as tears fell from her eyes I felt like I am being stabbed in the chest thousand times.It pains me to see her cry.My mind might not remember the things we have shared but my heart seems to recognize her.I take a step closer and wiped the tears from her face.I looked at her directly in the eyes. I saw pain and longing as I looked at her intently.I pulled Atasha into a tight hug and caressed her back as I try to calm her down."I'm sorry," I whispered. I don't know why I am apologizing but it sounded right."I'm sorry," I repeated as I hug her even tighter.After a while, she broke off the hug and lift her face.Atasha stood up without breaking off the stare.I froze when she encircled her arms on my nape and moved her face closer to mine."Just this once," she said and without any warning she claimed my lips.I froze but after a while, I started responding to her kisses.I felt heat rushing through my body until I can no longer t

Atasha's POVI woke the next morning with my head pounding.I massaged my temple and upon doing that I had a flashback of what happened last night.Guilt filled me but I didn't feel any ounce of regret because that is what I wanted even though it means wrong.I get off from bed and headed towards the kitchen to get a glass of water but I stopped when I saw Conrad feeding the kids."You're still here," I said and when he heard my voice he looked at me and then smiled."You were pretty wasted last night so I assume you will be up late so I decided to cook breakfast," he explained.I simply nod my head then headed towards the refrigerator and took some cold water.I drink the whole glass of water in one breath."Are you okay Mom?" Alisa asked so I looked at her and smiled then nod my head."I'm fine baby," I said then occupied the seat beside her."Do you have a problem, Mom?" Asher asked so I looked at him and shook my head."No Asher, Mommy's fine," I assured him but Asher looked at me

Conrad's POVAt exactly 9 AM I left Quinn's house and headed towards my condo unit where Veronica is waiting for me.Upon opening the door I saw Veronica patiently waiting at the couch.I walked towards her and kissed her on the cheeks."I'm sorry," I apologized. I can hear guilt in my tone not because I didn't come home last night but because I did something that would wreck her."For what?" she bravely asked and I already knew that she knows something happened.I can't hide something from Veronica, I already know that."Something happened between me and Atasha," I confessed and I can't look at her directly in the eyes so I bowed my head."Did you like it?" she asked in a tone filled with pain.I swallowed hard then lift my head and stared at her face."I'm sorry," I uttered and upon saying those words tears fell from her eyes.I immediately pulled her into a tight hug.Veronica keep on punching my chest but I didn't stop her. I allowed her to hit me because I deserve those punches.

Conrad's POVI hugged Veronica until she calms down.When her sobs subsided I bravely face her and upon looking into her eyes I already knew what I wanted but I don't dare to say it."Do you still love Atasha, Conrad?" she asked while looking me directly in the eyes.My heart said yes to that question but my mind keep telling me that I love Veronica and I should stay on her side because that is the right thing to do."I..." I can't finish my sentence. I am afraid that if I gave my answer now I will regret it later on."You still love her," that wasn't a question but a statement like she already figured out the thing I am confused about.I reached for Veronica's hand but she hid it on her back refusing to be touched by me."Did you ever love me or you are just convincing yourself that you love me because I am the one who stayed on your side when the world turns its back on you?" she asked and I can feel pain in her tone."Do you love me or do you just love me because I love you?" she a

Conrad's POVMy body went cold after the call.After my call with Atasha, my phone rang again and upon answering the call I heard an unfamiliar voice."Hello, how are you related to Veronica Reev?" an unfamiliar voice asked."I am her..." I paused for a second having no idea how to answer that question because I felt like the moment I let her walk out of that door I already lose my place in her life."Boyfriend," I added otherwise."Her body had been found, we are currently headed to the nearest hospital, we will send you the address Sir," after that, the call ended so I immediately grabbed my keys and stepped out of my unit.When I reached the parking lot I immediately stepped inside my car and drove away.I headed towards the address that they sent and upon arriving at the Hudson Hospital I immediately asked for Veronica's information.They told me that she was brought to the emergency room so I run and headed there.I roamed my eyes around and my body went cold when I saw Veronica

He held her hands and softly caressed them.I saw in my peripheral vision that Sebastian is looking at me so I turned my head to him and simply nod.Sebastian talked to Conrad first for a few minutes before walking towards me. "How is she?" I asked the moment he reached me."We still have to monitor her condition. If she didn't wake up within 24 hours there is a possibility that she will fall into a coma," he said. I felt heaviness in my chest when I heard that but I still believe that Veronica can make it."She will wake up," I said filled with hope.Sebastian let out a deep breath and then nod his head."I am hoping she will," he said then tapped my shoulder before walking away.The hospital is too busy so even though I can see on his face that he wanted to stay he chose to leav

Atasha's POVAfter sending the kids to school, Conrad drove me to the hospital and before I stepped out of his car I stared at his face with a smile plastered on my lips."Good luck with your presentation Love," He smiled at me and reached for my hand. He planted a soft kiss on it and stared at my eyes intently."Thank you Love. I'll do good, I'll make you and the twins proud,"I squeezed his hand and shook my head. "You already made us proud, you don't have to prove yourself to us just do your best,"I saw how his lips stretched for a wide smile and it warms my heart to see worry slowly leaving his face. "I don't know what I would do without you Atasha," he whispered as he pulled me into a tight hug.We were having an intimate moment when a knock on the car window interrupted us.Upon turning my head I saw Grace's face on the window, trying to see what was inside."Your friend is so nosy," Conrad jokingly commented which made me smile."She is," I replied agreeing to what he said.I

Atasha's POVWe spent a few hours at the water, and when the sun became scorching hot, we decided to head back to our cottage and take a rest.Conrad and I prepared our lunch together.We opted to grill some meat for our meal, and once we were done, we settled around a small table, enjoying the breathtaking view."I wish we could have stayed here forever," Alison commented, which brought laughter from all of us."Can we build a small house here, Mom?" Asher asked, his unspoken desire evident. I knew he loved it here as well."Your Dad and I will discuss it," I replied, glancing at Conrad. As our eyes met, he smiled warmly at me."I'll start saving money for your dream beach house," he proclaimed, eliciting smiles from the kids."I want my room to be all pink, Dad. I'll make curtains out of shells. It'll be so cute," Alison chimed in, her excitement evident as she talk about her dream room.Conrad smiled at Alison and nodded."We'll make that happen," he assured her.After our satisfyi

Conrad's POVI woke up at four in the morning and quickly took a shower. When I stepped out of the bathroom, Atasha was already awake, rubbing her eyes as if she had just woken up."Good morning," I greeted her.Atasha's gaze wasn't fixed on my face but on my body. A smirk spread across my lips as I walked towards her. She seemed frozen in place.I stopped in front of her and held her chin, making our eyes meet."Eyes up here, love," I said, noticing the embarrassment on her face. She slapped my hand away and pushed me aside before getting up.She was about to walk towards the bathroom, probably to escape from me, but I held her hand to stop her and hugged her from behind.Atasha stayed still as I hugged her tightly."Conrad, I can feel something," she said, making me laugh.Atasha turned around and looked directly into my eyes."Sorry, it's morning," I apologized.Atasha looked at me intently, then lowered her gaze, and I felt a bit embarrassed when I saw her eyes fixed on my member.

Atasha's POVWhen the kids disappeared from our sight, Conrad let out a deep sigh, and I gently caressed his shoulder to ease the heaviness he felt inside.Conrad looked at me, and I smiled back at him."I'll sleep here," he said."Okay," I replied, as he always sleeps here anyway."I'll just get a few things from my unit," he added, and I nodded, walking him out of the house.I watched him step inside his car. Before driving away, he rolled down his window and looked at me."I'll be back, love. I love you," he said, and I couldn't help but smile upon hearing those words."Drive safely. I love you," I reminded him, and his smile grew wider as he nodded at me before driving away.A huge smile remained on my lips as I watched Conrad's car slowly disappear from my view.I was so focused on his car that I didn't notice Grace standing by my side.She elbowed me, causing me to flinch."Shit, you scared me!" I blurted out, holding my chest in shock at her sudden appearance."What's with the

Conrad's POVWe settled around the table, trying to create a sense of togetherness. However, my attempts to catch the kids' attention were in vain—they kept avoiding me, refusing to even make eye contact. "Your pasta tastes good, Conrad," Dad commented, bringing a smile to my face."Thank you, Dad," I replied, then turned my gaze towards the twins."After we finish eating, would you like to watch a movie?" I asked, patiently awaiting their response."We already watched a movie with Grandpa, right Asher?" Alison chimed in, looking towards her twin.Asher nodded his head in confirmation."We also have to take a nap," he added."How about we go to the park after your nap?" I suggested, but they both shook their heads simultaneously."It's drizzling," Alison explained, returning to her pasta.I let out a deep breath, feeling defeated as I couldn't come up with another idea to make it up to them.I felt Atasha's hand holding mine, so I looked at her and she smiled, causing me to smile bac

Atasha's POVI watched as Conrad knelt in front of Alison, filled with guilt evident in his tone."I'm sorry," he uttered, his voice laced with remorse.Alison continued to cry, so Asher pulled her into a tight hug and glanced at his father."You always let us down, Dad. Uncle Sebastian is a better father than you. He made time for Alison's recital, even though he was busy treating sick people. I wish he were our Dad, not you," Asher said, his gaze fixed on Conrad."Asher, don't speak to your father like that," I firmly interjected.Asher fell silent, taking deep breaths to calm himself."It's fine, Atasha," Conrad assured me, forcing a smile on his lips.Conrad attempted to hold Alison and Asher's hands, but they kept removing his grasp, distancing themselves from him.Conrad let out a deep breath, tears glistening in his eyes.He swallowed hard and forced another smile."Daddy will make it up to both of you, I promise. Do you want ice cream? Shall we go to the mall? Would you like n

Conrad's POVI drove towards my office after dropping Atasha off at the hospital.The moment I stepped inside my office, I immediately went to my secretary to check my schedule. I had a dinner meeting later, so I informed Atasha that I wouldn't be home early.Coming home late seemed to be my routine for this month and possibly the following month. I had to work extra hard to regain everything that the company had lost.I started signing the documents and lost track of time. My secretary brought me lunch, so I took a quick break and called Atasha while I ate.After a few rings, she answered the call."Have you had your lunch?" I asked, hearing the twins in the background."Yeah, we're at a restaurant right now having our lunch. I'm with the twins. Do you want to talk to them?" she asked."Yes, please," I said, and after a few seconds, I heard Alison's voice fill my ears. "Hi Daddy," she greeted happily."Hi, baby. Are you eating right now?" I asked."Yes, Dad. I ordered pasta, and I w

Atasha's POVConrad embraced me tightly. I could sense that something was troubling him, but I didn't want to pressure him into opening up to me. Perhaps he needed time to figure things out on his own, so I would give him that time and patiently wait for him to share his burdens with me.I rested my head on his chest and let myself drift off to sleep.The next morning, I woke up to the sound of the twins knocking on our door. When I looked beside me, Conrad had just woken up as well. He rubbed his eyes and walked towards the door. As he opened it, the twins came running towards the bed."Good morning, Mommy," they greeted, showering me with kisses."What about Daddy?" Conrad asked, his jealousy evident in how the children greeted me.I laughed when I saw him pouting his lips while looking at the twins.The twins laughed at his expression and then stood up to give their father a tight hug."Good morning, Daddy," they greeted in unison, kissing their father on the cheeks.Conrad smiled
