Ruined By The Mafia 076: "You Are A Freaking Monster. I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL, GIOVANNI!
(KHIONE'S POINT OF VIEW)I sighed as the driver pulled up in front of Mezzesalmas' mansion. I locked my gaze on the driver through the glass. "Giovanni can never know I never went to the hospital; do you understand?"Once he nodded, I stepped out of the car and went in through the front door. I noticed the house was empty of the Mezzelsalmas as I stepped into the elevator, which took me to Giovanni's floor since that was where my new room was.Once the elevator opened with a beep, I stepped out and waltzed towards my door without glancing at Giovanni's room; however, I retreated and stood at the front of his door instead. Was he inside? I needed to make certain that he had no idea I had not gone to the hospital as I had told him this morning. With a nod to myself, I grabbed the doorknob and pushed the door open. "Giova-"I paused at the call of his name at the scene I walked into. I froze at the door as Giovanni and whoever was under him swerved towards me."What the fuck, Khione!"

[ANASTASIA'S POINT OF VIEW] "I hope one day you do not come to regret your words today and realize he is the only one you can ever trust and run back to, and by the time you realize that, it’s already too late." Each time I heard the words in my head, they became resounding and more belligerent, and I began to feel my head pound. I stepped into the house I’d been living in for the past few weeks. I called it a house because it had never felt like a home since the moment I tread in; it had never felt right to call it a home despite the fact that everyone treated me pleasantly and I was revered as the Boss's daughter. Maybe I was not used to it yet, or maybe my heart had already found a home that I had destroyed, so no place felt like home anymore. Heck, I didn't even find space at night. I shook my head to clear my mind. It was not worth thinking about. I’d gotten what I always wanted; the past just had to be forgotten and focus on the present, which was here, in Grayson’s mansion,

(ANASTASIA'S POINT OF VIEW)Standing out on the pavement of the street was sharp as the evening puff was wintry against my skin. I tried not to grind my hands together as I waited and eventually, the man I waited for came to view, heading towards me and I couldn't help but sigh in relief since I was going to leave the cold."Good evening, Miss Anastasia." He greeted."Do you have it?" I explored right away and he nodded, opening his coat and taking out a file. I reached out to grab it but he held it out of my reach. I glowered at him."Calm there baby tiger. Payment first, that's what we agreed on."Rolling my eyes, I snatched the file from him and instantly loot my eyes through it. I disregarded the bold DNA heading at the top of the paper and resumed my search till I found it.Negative; nothing matched and the chances were zero to none.My hand clutched tightly around the file and I hoisted my head up back at the man. "Are you sure these tests are correct?"He rolled his eyes. "Of c

[ANASTASIA'S POINT OF VIEW]I sat there tied to a chair as George walked around a table piled high with various-sized blades. He flashed me a grin and reached for a large knife from the table, tracing his finger along the edge while keeping his eyes fixed on mine. I gave him the same vaporous look in return.While he moved around his table, looking for the perfect blade to pile off my flesh and trying to look like the devil when he wasn't close enough, my mind worked on different ways to get out of my bounds and possibly have my fingers around his neck and strangle him to an early demise.He set that blade down and picked up a smaller one before walking over to me and leaning his face closer to mine. I resisted the urge to spit on it.His grin grew as he delicately ran the knife's pointed edge down my cheek, delicately to not create a cut yet. "You have such a beautiful face right here; it would be a shame to see it destroyed." At his words, I felt a sharp cut on my jaw. I restrained
Last Updated : 2023-07-08Ruined By The Mafia 080: "But Not Anymore. I Refused To Be A Pawn In Your Game, And Tonight It All Comes To An End."
[ANASTASIA'S POINT OF VIEW]Two hours flew by as I counted every minute that dragged by so sluggishly.It was agonizing, but it was worth it, and as the clock struck zero, I was cutting the binds around my wrist, and once my hands were free, I slid the blade through the ropes on my legs and hopped to my feet.I went to the table, dropped the small blade, and carried a larger one, smirking as I moved towards the door.As I walked down the hall, there were no guards in sight—not even a single soul. Sorry to burst Max's bubble, but despite how well he cleared my path and organized my escape, I could have gotten out of there without his assistance. I was not the type to go down without a fight. I would rather die fighting than die peacefully. I went further and further until I was climbing the stairs that led to George's room. When I arrived, I did not hesitate to push the door open and trudge into a room with very little lighting. My gaze was drawn to the bed where Geroge lay, his arms
Last Updated : 2023-07-08Ruined By The Mafia 081: "What You Deserve, Dear Father, Is Worse Than Death!"
[ENZO’S POINT OF VIEW]Another torturous session lasted for hours and hours, but sadly, none of the men—those debilitated bastards—could survive for longer than three hours.As I approached him, I grinned at my fifth man of the day. He remained huddled back against the cage, trembling and vibrating in terror. I tsked. When were they going to realize that they could not get away from me, no matter how much they recoiled in terror? Perhaps if they surrendered willingly, I could reduce the amount of pain, but there was fun in that, and I needed my fun. Their screams served as the icing on the cake, adding to the torment and aversion in their eyes, which satisfied my inner thirst.“Enzo.”When I heard my name, I came to an unplanned halt, hissed at the intrusion, and then turned to face Kai. I raised an eyebrow as I awaited his justification for interfering with my fun time. A file bag hung loosely in his hand, and he had an enigmatic expression on his face. He cleared his throat and ex
Last Updated : 2023-07-09Ruined By The Mafia 082: "Giovanni, Get Your B*Tch Out Of My Way Before I Blow Her Brains Out!"
(KHIONE'S POINT OF VIEW)I arrived at the hospital with Giovanni and went straight to the emergency waiting lobby, where Galileo was trying to console his wailing mother; Godfather Gattani sat on one of the chairs with his cane, and there was Enzo, sitting on the floor, his back against the wall, his palms over his face, discolored in blood. I noticed how his shoulders shook. Was he crying?I didn't realize when I stepped forward till a hand firmly sheathed around my wrist, and I looked up to Giovanni, who had an indecipherable expression on his face. I decided to stay put.Minutes passed with no one speaking a word to the other except for Miranda's loud sobs that crammed the space. After 30 minutes, the lights on the emergency sign went out, and soon after, a doctor stepped out. Miranda and Galileo jumped to their feet and went straight to the doctor, who had a forlorn expression on his face."How is my husband?" Miranda inquired.The doctor shook his head. "We did everything we co
Last Updated : 2023-07-09Ruined By The Mafia 083: "What If I Want To Be A Weapon, Khione? What If I Want The Entire World To Burn At My Feet?”
[KHIONE’S POINT OF VIEW]A lot happened in a single day.Not only was Sandrino dead, Galileo had also joined his father. Miranda had been crestfallen and had been imprisoned in her room for the past two days since she woke up. Giovanni appeared to be going through the same thing since he had been splenetic with everyone that traversed his path. Godfather Gattani remained monotonous; I had no idea what was going through that man's mind. And lastly, Enzo, nobody approached him, and no one knew how he was doing as he stayed locked up in his room.The Great Mezzesalma family was in disarray.I stood in front of Enzo’s room since he was the only person who wouldn't chase me away, and I needed to know he was still alive in his room. I knocked on the door.“Enzo, it’s Khione. Can I come i-”I hadn't finished my sentence when the door opened, revealing Enzo in a muddled state. His face was still perfectly bruised from Galileo's punches, and his eyes were inflamed and sore as if he had been c

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
