Ruined By The Mafia 064: "Fuck! I Am Going To Be A Father."
[KHIONE’S POINT OF VIEW]I stared at the bold red line on the dipstick, and it stared back even more fiercely.Pregnant!The word echoed, and I did not realize it when I stumbled against the bathroom wall, shock coursing through me like a hot stream of lava. The sweat prickled my brow, and the drum of my heart was too loud for my ears. I felt my hand sweat, and it shook around the pregnancy dipstick.No! This couldn't be happening to me!I could not possibly be pregnant. I returned the dipstick to my face, and the red line stared back, as if mocking and laughing at my face.Fuck! I was definitely pregnant! How could I have been so stupid?I let out a frustrated laugh and racked my fingers through my hair. Of course, the first time in three years that I decided to give myself to him, I ended up fucked, pregnant, and alone! There was no way Giovanni was going to accept this; he would say the child wasn't his since he had already labeled me a whore.I slid down to the floor and let out

[KHIONE’S POINT OF VIEW]My conversation with Giovanni went well, but who said it couldn't get worse, and that saying became true in just a couple of days.Meirnda stood before me, her arms crossed across her chest, her probing eyes darting between me and my bed, which was strewn with my clothes and an open suitcase. My stomach became her line of sight after that. “You can't possibly be carrying my son’s child, are you?” She spoke in a disgusted tone. I stepped back while bracing my stomach. How did she find out I was pregnant?She scoffed and rolled her eyes at my stunned expression. "Don't be surprised; nothing about my sons can be hidden, and the same goes for what happens in this mansion. You are mistaken if you believe you can hide things from me. And right now, that thing in your stomach is going to be aborted. That thing will not be accepted in my home.”My stare became a glare. "My child is not a thing, and whether your family accepts my child or not is of no concern to me. I

(KHIONE'S POINT OF VIEW) I remained there in the same position for as long as I could, until I was unable to distinguish between time and emotion. I was so numb that I was unable to feel the pain in my own heart anymore, so even when I heard the loud opening and closing sounds of the door and Rue's laughter filled the room, I remained motionless. Once her laughter died, she tsked. "Aren't you a miserable thing? Pregnant and discarded." When I finally moved, every joint in my body ached. My numbness instantly subsided. I looked at her. "I see that you are taking pleasure in this. You initiated all of this, after all. She laughed, finally dropping the façade she had been maintaining. “Do not misunderstand me, Khione. I never intended to sabotage your relationship with Giovanni; I have never given a damn about your shit, so it never began with me. I only played the part on my cards, and everything else fell into place smoothly." A slight frown owned my features, and I was getting of
Last Updated : 2023-06-30Ruined By The Mafia 067: "A New Addition To My Harem."
[ANASTASIA’S POINT OF VIEW]I stood in front of the house I grew up in—the place that was supposed to be a safe zone has never given me a sense of comfort. In contrast to the gloomy exterior, the interior lacked warmth.Realizing that no matter how long I stood there watching, the door would not open, I reached out and knocked. And it opened almost instantly, revealing Mom.She fixed her gaze on me with surprise in her eyes. “Oh, Anastasia, you are here earlier than expected.” I peered into her caramel eyes, which were arctic; they had always been that way, and I had grown so accustomed to seeing them that way that I was no longer looking for something they lacked. "I played my part. My work in the Mezzesalma’s household is done.”Just like that, a harrowing smile surfaced on her lips, and she nodded her head in approval before stepping out of the way and letting me into the house and into the living room.Dad had a magazine spread on his lap and was perched on the couch with one leg

(ANASTASIA'S POINT OF VIEW)"Anastasia!?" The vexation in his eyes had faded, and he now wore a shocked expression. "What-how-" he couldn't seem to find the right words. "How come you're here?""The Martins sent me. They said I would find the answers I seek here. Are you going to be the one to give me the answers?"Growing up in a home devoid of emotions and warmth taught me how to hide my emotions quite well. I was almost acting against my true nature in the Mezzesalmas household, or perhaps the Mezzesalmas brought out a side of me that I did not know existed, especially Enzo, but this was who I was. Cold and emotionless, almost like the people who raised me.While they strive to become less human by the day, I strive to become more human. There was nothing wrong with having feelings, but they saw everything wrong with it.He exchanged a glance with Max before sighing in response to my words. "I believe the Martins told you nothing. "Please allow me to introduce myself; my name is Gr
Last Updated : 2023-07-01Ruined By The Mafia 069: "Don't You Think I Should Try To Collect What You Owe Me Tonight, Darling?”
(ANASTASIA'S POINT OF VIEW)A month has passed since I discovered my biological father and lived with him, learning about the type of work he did and the people he associated with.I still wasn't able to call him dad; I wasn't prepared, or the word felt so wrong coming out of my mouth, and he understood just fine. In time, I would become accustomed to it, he said, but I just couldn't picture myself calling him dad. But it didn't matter if I called him Dad or not; he was still my father, and that was what mattered.In a month, I've blended in so well with the Grayson squad, as they called themselves, with Max as their leader. He was nice but a total man-whore which I had come to know since the first day I stepped into the mansion, and he had never tried to hide it, throwing parties five times a week that only included himself and his harems, as he called his girls."Are you prepared for your first mission as a Grayson?" Max winked at me as he entered his private basement, where the res
Last Updated : 2023-07-02Ruined By The Mafia 070: "You Can Go Ask Him Why He Didn't Kill Me When He Had The Chance!”
[ANASTASIA’S POINT OF VIEW]In order to celebrate our victory, we hit the nearest club. I sat on one of the bar stools, watching as the rest of the squads celebrated their victory, but it did not feel like a victory to me anymore, more like a defeat as I remembered the dread in Enzo's eyes, the pain in his expression.I’d always wanted him to show his emotions, and when he finally did, I couldn't seem to bear it. I'd complained that he was too blank, but tonight I wished he had remained blank and not revealed anything to me. Maybe he knew what those emotions would do to me, and that is why he had them all over his face; he knew they would haunt me for a long time.I closed my eyes, and my mind immediately replayed the events of an hour ago. I shivered as I shot him, thinking he was going to pull his own trigger, but he didn't, and he never planned to. But what if my bullet had hit somewhere else, perhaps his chest?Suddenly, my mind conjured up an image of Enzo lying in his pool of bl
Last Updated : 2023-07-02Ruined By The Mafia 071: "Come On, Enzo, Get Your Head Together And Take Your Pills!"
(ENZO'S POINT OF VIEW)The more I looked at the pills in my hand, the more I wanted to listen to the voices in my head telling me to throw them out on the balcony I was on.My hands began to tremble a little, the voice in my head grew louder, and the memory flashes became more intense with each minute that went by without me taking the pills.I held onto the balcony railing as my wrist veins began to show, my breathing became slightly labored, and I noticed sweat dripping from my forehead.I took a breath and closed my eyes. When I opened them again, the surroundings had changed, and I had returned to the scene of my mother's death.I saw how the bastard smashed the bottle on her head and how she fell to the ground, a teardrop rolling down the corner of her eyes, mixing with the blood on the floor as she stared directly at me.Her eyes screamed for help, but by the time I reached out, it was too late; she was gone, and I was still unable to save her. I watched as the bastard laughed

Ruined By The Mafia 101: "Vincenzo Missed His Father, And I Missed My Daddy."
(KHIONE'S POINT OF VIEW)I locked my gaze on the pregnancy kit, which returned my gaze with two bold red lines.I was pregnant.I sighed and dropped my hands to my lap, making no attempt to rise from the toilet seat."Khione, Khione, Khione. "How can you let yourself get pregnant again?"The guilt of losing my first pregnancy was still swollen on my chest, and it had no intention of leaving anytime soon. and now, another baby was on its way."Khione, are you okay in there?"Giovanni's voice came from the other side of the bathroom door. When I finally stood up with the pregnancy test, my legs wobbled. I felt drained when I shouldn't be.I stepped out of the bathroom and into my bedroom, where Giovanni waited with a worried expression."Are you okay?" He inquired before his gaze was drawn to the pregnancy kit in my hand. His pupils dilated as they met mine. "You're preg-""I am afraid of having another child, Giovanni." I interrupted him before he could continue. "Wha
Ruined By The Mafia 100: "I Stuck Around To Attend Your Wedding; Now I Can't Leave Without Saying A Proper Congratulations, Can I?"
(ENZO'S POINT OF VIEW)I tried to stop myself from pacing, but I couldn't, not when Anastasia's loud screams were coming from behind the door in front of me. She was calling for me; giving birth to our child, but I couldn't go in; I wasn't allowed to, and she had to bear all that pain alone.I despised the feeling of being useless and helpless.I was about to become a father. The thought both excited and terrified me. I knew nothing about being a Father.It had always been drugs, guns, and trying not to go insane. I never imagined bringing a child into my chaotic world, but this child was on its way. Would I make a good father?Damnit!"Did you know that the longest English word contains 189,819 letters?"I turned my head, glaring at Kai, who was leaning against the wall. He shrugged. "I was trying to cheer you up, but that'd be a badass word, isn't it? Fortunately, I dropped out of school." He chuckled."Be quiet." I snapped."You worry too much. It is not flattering on you. It tarn
Ruined By The Mafia 099: "Isabella, Your Little Sister Has Finally Found Us. I Told You, She Would."
(ANASTASIA'S POINT OF VIEW)"We are here, Ma."The sound of the driver's voice made me turn my head and look out the window.We were in front of a dilapidated apartment building in a busy and active neighborhood. I cocked my head to the side as I observed kids running around and laughing heartily. There were a few men carrying objects and three tattooed men smoking outside the corner.I noticed two neighborhood stores right next to the building. I averted my eyes as I fixed them on the tall, old building. Would I really find my parents here?Max had better not mislead me. I told the driver to "wait here" before getting out of the car without thinking, and fastened the buttons on my coat to cover my growing stomach.Yes, I was four months pregnant, and despite my concerns, Enzo had been exhilarated about having a child.I felt like everyone was looking at me the moment I stepped out of the car, but I chose to ignore them as I heaved a sigh and entered the building.I
Ruined By The Mafia 098: "Can I Confirm Something First? Are You Mine Again?”
(KHIONE'S POINT OF VIEW)A few days passed, and I'd avoided Giovanni like he was some plague and struck Charlie's side like glue; he even wanted me gone, but Giovanni seemed to have taken it as a hint that I'd chosen Charlie over him and decided to leave on his own.I remembered the tears in his eyes as he told me to be happy, and I wished I'd stopped him when he walked out of my home, but I was a coward. Even Charlie scolded me for it, but I was scared.I was afraid of giving in again. What if everything went wrong again? What if something happened to separate us again? I couldn't help but feel insecure. I sighed for the nth time that day, glancing at the door again and again, hoping Giovanni would appear with the smile that melted my heart and the smirk that created a pool of wetness between my legs, but I knew it was wishful thinking. I knew that no matter how many times I looked at the door, he would never appear; after all, it had been two weeks since he had given up and walked
Ruined By The Mafia 097: "Give Yourself A Chance To Be Happy And Get Out Of This Quagmire."
(KHIONE'S POINT OF VIEW)When I walked out of the school and into the parking lot, I was surprised to see Charlie and Giovanni talking with their backs to me.I paused, my mind telling me to turn and walk away before they noticed my presence, but another part of me told me to get closer, especially when I heard them say my name.I did not move any closer when their words became clear, and fortunately, they had not noticed me yet."Don’t you think you have been a nuisance lately? If I were Khione, I would have gotten rid of you." Charlie spoke.Giovanni scoffed. "Since you're not Khione, that's not your call, and I'm going to be around for as long as she wants me to be.""But she is not interested in you. Isn’t that self-evident? She is already in love with me, and your presence only adds to her pain from the past she wishes to forget. I believe Khione is being overly nice and is unable to say no when she clearly wants to." Charlie stuffed his hands into his pants pocket.I averted my
Ruined By The Mafia 096: "Believe Me, Little Tiger, I'm Tired Of Playing This Game Just Like You."
(ANASTASIA'S POINT OF VIEW)I stared as the smirk on Godfather Gattani's face deliberately subsided and gushing from his mouth was blood gradually, he lowered to his knees before falling to the ground with his blood coupling around him.I jerked up my head, meeting the malignant eyes of Enzo as he clenched his gun so tightly I could see the veins on his wrist and forehead."Enzo," I called softly, snapping him out of it.He let the gun plunge from his hand and rushed over to me, cupping my face and for the first time, I was able to graze terror in his eyes and expression. "I wasn't fast enough, I'm so sorry, doll." His voice lurched.At that moment, I shirked I was punctured on the shoulder as the pain somehow seemed to cease. I cracked a full smile. "I'm fine, It's not that deep.""Fuck." He exhaled, seating his forehead on mine and I took the opportunity to inhale his alleviating scent. It was intoxicating. "My own death does not frighten me but yours? That's my greatest and deepest
Ruined By The Mafia 095: "Checkmate."
[ANASTASIA’S POINT OF VIEW]The most effective way to control a man is to make him believe that he was using you.Rue kidnapped me, knocked me out, and now I was tied to a pillar. She got me because I let her. She grinned at me as she stood in front of me, and I gave her the same vaporous look in return.“I can't wait to peel off your skin.” She winked at me, and I rolled my eyes. Her gaze fell to her watch. "Godfather Gattani will arrive in a few minutes; as soon as I receive the go-ahead, I will begin with that face of yours."I tsked, tilting my head and scanning her from head to toe before looking her in the eyes. "How does it feel to be a pawn, knowing you will eventually lose everything? I heard he asked you to get rid of Miranda; what makes you think you will not be next on his list when this is all over?" She reached out and grabbed my hair firmly, bringing her face closer to mine, her eyes red with rage. "You know nothing, so why don't you shut up before I kill you sooner th
Ruined By The Mafia 094: "Perhaps It's Fate's Way Of Telling Us We Aren't Meant To Be, And You Should Accept It."
(KHIONE'S POINT OF VIEW)I thought Giovanni had gotten the hint and was gone for good, but I was dead wrong, and I wish I had been prepared when the idiot showed up at my place of work.Being invited to the principal's office, I thought I'd done something wrong, only to find Giovanni there. I paused, and my eyes turned into a glare."What are you doing here?" I exploded. Giovanni flashed me a grin. "Judging by your expression, I believe you know this man." The principal wore an unimpressed expression. "He insisted on not leaving till he saw you, and that has been like an hour ago; please get him out.""Yes, sir." I turned to Giovanni, grabbed his wrist, and yanked him to his feet. "Let's go."We left the office, and I didn't stop dragging him by the wrist till I found an empty classroom and shoved him in, shutting the door behind me before turning to him with a sharper glare. "What the fuck were you thinking? I could lose my bloody job!""I'm sorry, but I needed to see you." He respo
