Juliette had been to a lot of meetings since her split with Romero three weeks previously, she was more determined than ever to force the Leaders to change their minds and accept that women were their equals not just pretty adornments for their arms. She knew where the Don's wives and girlfriends went for their ‘Spa’ days and the restaurants and clubs they used for ‘lunching’, so she had gone to talk to them face to face. It had not been easy, at first they were resistant pretending all was well and they were happy, until two of the Council Leader's wives spoke up. They both had teenage daughters and had been given the ultimatum, their husbands had arranged for them to be married off to the highest bidder. One girl was seventeen the other eighteen, neither wanted to be married to these hateful, possessive men who would make their young lives a misery. The girls attended the local college and had been enjoying the usual teenage life of attending classes and hanging out with their frien
They were allowed to work and even got promoted to Pakhan which was one of their leaders, they were not just eye candy and as she delved deeper she began to collaborate the information she needed. Of course, the most compelling argument she had was she was already shielding the Second in Commands two daughters. Their mother had brought them to her a few days ago begging her to protect them because their father was in talks with the Council Leader about taking them for his sons. The girls were young one had only just turned sixteen the other was seventeen, yet the Leader had them earmarked for his thirty-year-old twins.‘Hanno una pessima reputazione.’ [They have a terrible reputation.]Their mother had told her,‘Sono state arrestate quattro volte per aggressione a prostitute, e ci sono state voci di due donne scomparse dopo aver trascorso la notte con loro. Sono conosciuti in tutta la mafia come bulli e abusatori, ma il loro padre ha corrotto tutti per guardare dall'altra parte e ora
Luigi could not believe his luck, Romero had sent his guards every single day since she escaped him and this was the first opportunity they had. She was stood alone, gazing out to sea, lost in her thoughts and a glance along the beach told Luigi this was going to be easy. The helicopter hovered like a huge black bird of prey and he could not understand how she had not heard it until he noticed the earbuds in her ears.‘Oh, you silly girl.’He thought with a smile as he was lowered down behind her he could see she had her eyes closed too lost in the music she was listening to he grabbed her quickly placing his hand over her mouth to cut off her screams.‘No Luigi, no.’She tried to fight him, slamming her small fists into his back but the man was built like a tank, his broad back was hard with muscles making it easy for him to ignore her pathetic attempts to stop him.‘Please Luigi, don’t do this, please put me down.’She begged him, there was so much work she still had to do, these wo
She was glaring at him now,‘Perché credetemi, non mi siederò qui a guardarla morire: se non potete prendere la decisione di aiutarla, allora lo farò io per voi.’ [Because believe me I will not sit here and watch her die if you cannot make the decision to help her then I will make it for you.] Romero sighed again and nodded to Kate,‘Treat her.’He said turning away from the security feed and switching it off because the room was empty as Kate’s orderlies placed the barely conscious young woman onto a gurney and wheeled her into the Medical Centre. Juliette woke up and blinked at the harsh hospital lights,‘Kate.’She croaked and the other woman came to her side,‘I’m pleased to see you are awake.’They spoke in English,‘I will kill him so perhaps you should have let me die.’The Doctor continued checking her over, listening to her heart and taking her pulse then writing on her tablet, after a few minutes she replied softly,‘No Juliette, you won’t kill him because y
She screamed at him kicking and struggling feebly it was useless she knew that his guards were well-trained puppets and she was tossed into the back of the SUV and grabbed by two other guards who held her arms and legs as it spun around and took her back to Romero. This time he was waiting for her as Mario dropped her to the floor in front of him, anger coursed through her weary body giving her the adrenaline boost she needed to jump to her feet and confront him.‘Perché ti ostini a renderti le cose così difficili, piccola tigre?’ [Why do you persist on making things so difficult for yourself little tigress?]His voice was soft as he approached her,‘Sai che non ti lascerò andare.’ [You know I am not going to let you go.]Juliette wanted to scream at him she was so sick and tired of Mafia men who only thought with their cocks, she had believed he was different and it hurt like hell to find he was not.‘Vai a farti fottere Romero, ci sono cose più importanti in gioco qui e tu che mi im
She answered him refusing to give in to what her body wanted, he did not play fair trailing his lips down her neck in hot kisses,‘Yes, you can.’He nipped her earlobe then placed a kiss on the corner of her mouth,‘It would be so easy, so fucking easy, to just relax into his arms and let him kiss her until she was breathless.’She thought, fighting her own body as it begged her mind to give in and respond to him, instead, she placed her hands on his chest and pulled away,‘No Romero I can’t I have too many lives relying on me. I’m sorry but I have to continue even if they kill me. I know I don’t have a future, I know the Council will find a way to kill me but my voice has to live on for their sake.’She got off his knee and turned to look at him,‘Go ahead, I won’t fight you, fuck, I won’t even try to stop you. I’m so tired of fighting you all. They have ordered you to kill me, who else would they ask?’Then to his utter horror, she slid to her knees and bowed her head, it was not th
Luigi came forward staring down the remaining men,‘Tutti voi avete sorelle, figlie e nipoti, molti di voi hanno visto la violenza che queste donne subiscono, eppure non volete proteggerle? Siete davvero dei vigliacchi o state pensando con i vostri? Avrai comunque tutta la figa che vuoi, prenderemo ancora i nostri prigionieri e loro conoscono il punteggio, saranno anche loro donne, non ragazze a cui sarà proibito.’ [You all have sisters, daughters and nieces, many of you have seen the violence these women face, yet you do not want to protect them? Are you really such cowards or are you thinking with your cocks? You will still get all the pussy tyou want, we will still take our prisoners and they know the score, they will also be women not girls that will be forbidden.]His hard glare had its effect the four remaining men joined their colleagues and Romero squeezed her hand,‘Grazie, ora mettiamoci al lavoro.’ [Thank you, now let’s get down to business.] For the next te
His voice was low, barely a whisper, only she could hear the hot intent in it as he pressed himself against her soft body his hard length was very evident, she leaned her head on his shoulder drinking in his warmth and his strength.‘I wish I had your confidence, my love.’She sighed and then reluctantly pulled herself from his arms and dropped the summons on her desk,‘There is so much work still to do before we meet them tomorrow.’Trying to dispel the disappointment in his eyes when she moved away, without a word he nodded and headed out to speak to Luigi and Gino who had become firm friends and acted together as their number twos. Juliette watched him with hungry eyes she wanted him so badly her whole body grew hot with lust but she forced it away, it was too late to give in to it now and there was no one in her office to see the tears that streamed down her cheeks.She did not sleep that night, as the minutes ticked by her fear grew and in the end, she got up and went downstairs

She lay down on his chest listening to the steady beating of his heart, he was always so sure, so confident and she wished she could be like that to but already the doubts invaded her thoughts.‘His people hate me because of my father, they will never forget what he did and I cannot blame them for that.’She thought as she curled against him and he held her tightly,‘Tell me what you are thinking.’He asked tilting her head so he could look into her eyes,‘If I don’t know I can’t help you.’He kissed the tip of her nose making her smile and it lit her stunning green and gold eyes turning them a warm molten gold then she sighed and sat up,‘Your people will never accept me because of my name. They hate the Santini’s and they have for centuries, you and I getting together is not going to change that.’He lay back closing his eyes she was right, no matter what they had tried the very fact she was Santini’s daughter was always going to come between them suddenly he sat up and tugged her o
