"You don't simply stop playing a game. Especially when it's mine; you either win. Or loose." Vasili had told her this eight years ago, and eight years later she'd said, "Wrong. Allow me to introduce you to the word 'draw'." *** Emily Moralez was certain the universe was determined to screw her over. She's been caught in a crossfire between two rivaling syndicates, her father's made arrangements for her to get married to a don twice her age--despite knowing she has a boyfriend. And said boyfriend cheated on her the day before their engagement. And it gets worse. Vasili Romanov. The name was feared, revered, respected: hated. Emily knew where she fell. In the percentage that hated him. Vasili Romanov was back for her family. Back to destroy it, her, and everything she held dear with a vengeance that burned as hot as the passion he ignited in her.

Pulse: [A Mafia Romance] Chapter 10
Emily's POV. . Today was my engagement day. Little wonder why I felt like shit. I winced when a sharp pain lanced down my head and an unholy headache started to throb at my temples. A whimper escaped my lips as I slowly brought my palms down on my head. Why was I feeling this way again? Luna. The name came with a bolt of realisation. I'd gone to a party with her last night, and was probably having a hangover. A series of memories soon started to unfold. Jerry had cheated on me. I'd ran away from the club...I'd kissed a stranger. I bolted upright. And soon regretted it. "Oouuuchhh," I intoned as I winced in pain. My head started to spin, and so did my stomach. I ran to the bathroom when it became evident I was about to puke. Bending over, I hurled what felt like the entire content of my stomach into the toilet. I got up after I was certain there was nothing left in my gut. Staggering, I went over to the sink

Vasili's POV.Shocked at myself and even more shocked at my actions, I walked over to my car, mentally calling myself all the vile words in my vocabulary.My body was still strung up from a mere kiss. I scrubbed a palm over my face, thinking about how I would have likely taken her up against the wall if she did not take matters into her own hands. Literally, I thought drily, shutting my eyes for a moment.I placed my forehead on the steering wheel for a minute and allowed thoughts of what I was about to do infiltrate my mind.Guns. I was about to buy a billions worth of arms.Not without my right hand man, of course. My cousin Benedikt. He was getting a lot too nosy lately, I thought, irritated.Only God knew what he would think of me kissing Emily Moralez. Then I shoved the thought aside, not knowing why I even cared. I did not need anybody's f*cking approval or dis

Park West was known for its active nightlife, so I couldn't find a quiet spot to wallow in my misery--oh there was one. After a long moment of walking unsteadily, I trudged over to the lonely spot beneath a lamplight, my purse hanging off my shoulder listlessly, head aching, heart aching. CIS (current internal Status): miserable, life currently feels like it's tearing at the seams.Resting my back against the hard walls of the quiet alley, I swiped away the hair sticking to my head due to the humid air, and took out Ayla from my purse, holding on to her for a while.I sniffed quietly, and tried to picture myself how I looked like at the moment: wretched.So not me.A flare of anger sparked to life in my gut. The m*otherf*cking cheat!I wrenched Ayla open and flipped through pages, looking for the one I'd written about Jerry.When I found it, I tore it out, not caring if there was some

We'd gotten to the club. And it was wild. So wild it could've been an orgyCouples grinded against each other in a mindless frenzy, partners exchanged r-rated kisses. A man went down on his partner. Right... In the middle... Of the dancefloor.I needed bleach for my eyes.Standing up from the thirteen-seater bar and making my way through a sea of gyrating pelvises with a glass of martini in my hand, I sought Luna, hoping to dance a little.I found her in the middle of the floor, busting out some really cool moves. People cheered. My ears throbbed. So many people."Emileyy!" She yelled when she saw me. Her voice sounded muffled over the music and noise clogging my ears, "Come over here!" She shouted, punctuating her statement by motioning wildly with her hands.I changed my mind. I was quite okay here. Would feel even better seated at the bar. Must... Get... There.I turned, about to hightail it back to the bar, whe

My ears perked up at the sound of someone opening my door slowly."Psst!" Luna.I threw off the sheets shielding my party dress, and rolled over to the other end of the bed quietly, landing on my feet just as quiet.The night was pitch black and relatively quiet. Perfect for sneaking out.Luna made her way towards me, her heels dangling from her fingers.She whistled lowly. "I said hot, not boxer-dropping. . .or tightening."I snorted, smoothening my hand down the sheath dress I'd altered so that scarce faux feathers lined the bust, and dipped: following the dangerously low neckline. 'You can never be overdressed or underdressed wearing a little black dress--K. L.' I took in Luna. "You don't look so bad yourself."Luna twirled, showcasing a tube top and jean shorts that barely cleared her ass. When she came to a stop, she said urgently, "Yeah, now come on. Jerry's been waiting his ass out down the drive."I didn't bot

"You're getting engaged tomorrow," father said, levelling me with a probing stare, "and into one of the most powerful families in the Syndicate."My face remained blank."Castello is a good man."My face... didn't remain blank.That sentence rattled my nerves, stringing them tightly with its obnoxiousness until I felt like I would erupt. I'd like to know what his definition of 'good' comprised of. And I had a feeling it wasn't that 'good', either."If I had my way you wouldn't be getting engaged tomorrow, Emiliano," father said quietly, stopping his assault on the piece of paper.The anger and irritation pumping through me sloshed to a halt, receding backwards at an unholy speed and being replaced by hope. Sweet, fragile hope."You'd be getting married," he concluded.A distant crashing sound filled my ears from a faraway space. My budding hope shattering to pieces. A familiar curdle pushed its way into the back of my throat and

I selected my clothes carefully, taking care to avoid heels due to the nerve damage I had on my ankles when I was little: an injury that could leave me prone to random gout episodes. I fished out a simple mint green wrap dress and paired it with a thin emerald green belt and a pair of tan sandals. After scanning my choice of clothes and nodding at them in approval, I went into the shower; letting the hot water do some magic to my nerves which were going haywire by the second...The first person I saw upon departing the bathroom had me stopping dead in my tracks.Mother.My hands tightened on the soft white towel I was wrapped in.Her stance was stiff and upright, her spine-straight posture giving her a severe air. Mother's bleach blond hair was fastened in a chignon at her nape, the suave cut of the white shift dress she was swaddled in reinforcing the Ice-queen moniker she'd been dubbed generally.Af

The next day had me poring over my drawings. Sketches of tentative silhouettes and half-finished lines met my gimlet-eyed perusal. I had resolved, somewhere between crying my eyes out and cursing my fate, that I'd take up where I left off in plotting my mock label.Madame Bijou--the woman I was interning under this break--had tasked us--the interns--with releasing prototypes of our designs.It was a far cry from the normal fetching of swatches and giving photoshoots, but after a month under Madame Bijou's supervisorship she'd dubbed us 'diamonds in the rough.' Us being the thirteen interns lucky enough to be employed into 'La Présent.'And after another taxing fortnight she'd declared us 'fit to carry on the legacy.'So here I was, rapidly shedding off braincells in an aim to come up with the perfect fashion line. Possible fashion styles clamoured around in my head; grunge? Preppy? Bohemian? Chic? Goth? Sexy? Punk? O

♠︎Emily♠︎ ..The shocked faces of the people on the sidewalks we sped past made me laugh harder. A snorting-squealing-giggling maniacal kind of laugh. "Today's the best day of my fudgemuffin life!" I screamed as the winds pulled the flesh on my face taut."F*ck yeah!" Luna screamed gleefully, tightening her hands around the steering wheel. Breaking the no cursing rule.My hand immediately strained towards the backseats of the car, where our bags were.Despite the struggle, I dug into my bag and pulled out a yellow notebook. I wasn't about to let five dollars slip through my fingers.My heart sang joyfully as I ticked Luna's name under the offenders slot.Luna screamed, horrified, the shrillness of her voice getting lost in the furiously wafting winds. "I thought I threw that f*cking book away!"Another tick. I was ten dollars richer. Today was really the best f*cking day of my life...The sharp crack of a slap landed on my cheek hotly, snapping my head to the side.My mother, for a
