"Do you think we should call the Don?"
"No Mario, that wouldn't be necessary" "But she isn't concious yet. Well he said he's coming over already"" ........"
I kept hearing incoherent words in my head, while I battled to lift open my eyes. Who's Mario?
I finally opened my eyes, but groaned and quickly closed it again when my eyes came in contact with the rays of sunlight coming in through the window just above where I laid.
"Did you hear that Lessandro?"
"She's awake?""Definitely""Hey" I whispered to the huge men who were already in front of me in record time. "Good morning Madame"
O.. Kay, why the Madame? I tried getting up but the sharp throbbing pain that hit my head got my butt back on the bed, as I clutched my head that felt like it was going to fall any time soon.
Lois's POVI was so shocked at the revelations I got today. Twas still very hard to believe that my Uncle was still alive and that I have been living with Mafians all along without even having a slightest idea.But what exactly was going on? This Mafia revelation doesn't answer my questions? What on earth was going on. I looked up at Uncle Luca who was still laughing, and that was when I noticed that Mr huge guys, had long gone out of the room."Is there a problem Lois?" He asked, dabbing the tears of his eyes. "Yes, Uncle. This is all surreal. I'm sure after having a long sleep, I would awake to reality."He chuckled"I still don't know where I am, and how come you are here?""You are in Rome""Sorry? Rome!!? Like Rome?""Yes, Like Rome the capital of Italy""You mean
OLIVER'S POVI got a call from Uncle Luca yesterday night. Lois wasn't conscious yet, I hope she was fine. I was presently on a flight to Rome in my private jet and I would most likely arrive in the night.Deep down, I couldn't wait to see Lois. Oh! How I missed her, it was unexplainable. I guess it's because of the manner in which we parted two days ago. It hurt me to have kept the truth away from she and Harrieth this long.They both deserved to know what was going on. I guess Lois would be so happy because Uncle Luca was still very much alive. I felt a pang in my heart as I thought of 8 years ago when we had to frame his death.It had taken a toll on her. She was taken for psychological therapy sessions, just to pull her out of the sadness that had eaten way d
OLIVER'S POV We had finally arrived Uncle Luca's mansion and we drove in, as I greeted Flavio, the gatekeeper. I and my Men entered the sitting room and looked around, but didn't see anyone. Then, I heard Voices from the dinning room. Bingo On walking to the dinning room, I heard Lois' voice. I was so happy within, she was conscious already. I halted my steps and listened to her conversation with Uncle Luca. "I can't fall in love....I have been through a lot Lois, and I can't drag any innocent woman into my mess." He said to Lois. "That's not good enough reason not to experience love, Uncle." "I am a man with a dark past, a scary present, and a dangerous future. I am....." And I decided it was time I announced my arrival, I cut into the discus
Lois's POVWe were all seated at the garden in Uncle Luca's mansion, and I haven't for once stopped thinking about what transpired between Oliver and I, yesterday night.After the little quarrel during dinner, Oliver hadn't spoken to me. I felt like he was angry at me. Through out the remaining time we ate, he said nothing.After dinner, he mouthed a 'good night uncle' and headed straight upstairs. I came into the room after assisting Sofiah with the dishes and having a brief random chat with Uncle.I entered the room, changed into my nighties and laid on the bed, with a novel of my favorite author in my hands. Nora Roberts always keeps it real.Oliver walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist, which was way too below his waistline, for my comfort and peace of mind. Walking t

LOIS' POVI was drawn out of my reverie by no other than Sofiah."Hey there, Ma'am" She called waving her hand in front of my face. "You were out for a while. Are you alright?""Yeah, yeah. I'm fine Sofie" I said looking up into her beautiful hazel brown eyes. This woman was lovely.She would be perfect for Uncle Luca...My subconscious piped.Seriously!?"Any issues?" I asked."No Ma'am. Just to know if you would love a cup of juice.""Yeah sure.....And it's Lois to you. Okay?""Yes... Yes Lois""Good" I smiled as she walked away.A moment later, Sofiah walked back into the Garden. She went straight to Oliver who was seating on the other side of the garden, a
Oliver's PovI had to leave quite early this morning due to some issues I had to take care of. Apparently Marco was biting more than he could chew. I had to look for a way to handle Eva fast, before things got out of hand.I think it was just the right time to let Lois know the whole truth. Yes, there were still skeletons in my closet sadly enough. I couldn't help but think how things would have turned out much differently, had I confronted my demons head on.I only had two options.Tell Lois the truth, or loose her when she finds out. And I knew it wouldn't be long until she did. I was already deep in, I had fallen in love with her again. She always had my heart all along. Somethings never change, and I learned this the hard way.All the high school bullying, the emotional bruises I tried giving to her, when I found out Nathan Black had been making pa
THIRD PERSON'S POVI immediately left miss Lois when he came over. I quickly walked in to the mansion and made my way to the kitchen. I tried my hardest to always avoid him. I was confused. Was I supposed to remain angry and bitter towards him because he was the cause of Zac's death? But on the other hand, Zac willingly gave his life for him.Zac adored him to that extent. He gave up his life for Luca, not considering the fact that he was leaving me behind and alone. I was supposed to be angry at Zac too, but I couldn't. He gave me a reason to live life again. I had nothing!My parents were murdered, and I was just a lucky girl, who happened to survive after being raped and seeing her parents brutally killed by her rapist afterwards. I was broken, half dead on the streets, when a guardian angel in form of a man came to my rescue.Zac was my savior. He rescued me from the possible hazards of the street, he s
LOIS'S POV The cool breeze fell on my face, through the open window, as Oliver drove in high speed. I was happy, so happy, genuinely happy at last. I got the happily ever after I wanted. No misunderstandings, or regrets. I looked at Oliver, who seemed so calm as he drove at such a speed. "Babe" "Yes, my Love" "I love you" He put his right hand on my laps, and used the left hand to control the steering. "I love you moooore" I smiled, put my hand on top of his, and gave a light squeeze. I could see the beach far ahead, and then in few seconds, we came to a stop. "The Beach?" "Yes the beach" he replied, as he went behind to open the car booth. "You said we were going for a ride" "Yeah, we did go for a ride. Didn't say were we'd go after that" He winked. He brought out food, fruits and drinks, all packaged in a basket. I went over to help him with some of the stuff in the car booth.
Warning: mature content in this chapterOLIVER'S POVI wasn't sure Lois was ready for this, I was willing to wait though. I didn't want her feeling forced or obligated to do this. Once I got enough assurance from her, I wasted no time in locking my lips with hers."You are all mine" I growled in between kisses"Yes, I'm all yours. Take all of me my love" She replied. Her love. She called me her love. I think that was the most beautiful moment of my life. I felt on top of the world. Not just that, but lucky to have a woman like Lois, Love me.I thoroughly kissed her mouth as my hand moved under her blouse and caressed her warm naked skin. My efforts fueled up as I heard her moan my name so passionately. That was more than enough encouragement for me.
LOIS' POV I was undoubtedly speechless. What was Oliver saying? What did he mean when he said he had always loved me? I was emotionally drained, and really wouldn't appreciate him toiling with my mind. "Oliver, what are you saying?" "I have a confession to make" He replied looking so serious, he was certainly not joking. He pulled me towards the bed, and asked me to seat. He squatted before me, making me look down to his face. "Oliver what's going on?" I asked "I have always had feelings for you Lois. From the start, it has always been you and nobody else. I know you wouldn't believe me, but trust me, I'm being sincere. I never knew how to approach you and tell you without being embarrassed or scared of your rejection" "Whhat?" I asked c
Oliver's PovI was beyond shocked when I walked down from my room to the sitting room downstairs, after hearing the commotion, only to see Eva. I hoped she hadn't come to mess things up for me. I didn't need this kind of confusion in my life. Especially not now.I kept hoping until Eva said it. I stood rooted in my ground, as I looked towards the only person, whose opinion about me mattered the most at the moment. There was a long silence in the room. It was as if everyone was trying to let what Eva said, sink in.After a while, Lois looked like she was finally coming to terms with her newly gained information. I had to explain it all to her. It wasn't intentional, I was fucking drugged and didn't know what happened next. I only found myself in bed with Eva later that night."Babe" I called in the lowest voice possible. She looked at me, like she was trying t
LOIS' POVI woke up optimistic today, I was in a very light mood. It was finally a full house, everyone packed in yesterday. Oliver showed everyone to their rooms and the men made themselves comfortable in the boys quarters.Truth be told, I was still suprised. I couldn't believe we were in a situation like this, I thought of how much things had changed in my life within a short while. Being part of a Mafian family was a lot to digest, but I was trying my best.I joined Paige and her mum, to set the dinning table for breakfast. I hummed happily as we worked together, while Paige used the opportunity to catch up on different stuff. I thought of Oliver and a smile curled up my face. He was fast becoming the center of my world, my happiness.I had made up my mind, I was gonna tell him that I had fallen in love with him today. Wow!! I and Oliver had come this far, and I

OLIVER'S POVIt had been a long long journey. A total of 11 hours, fifteen minutes to get to America from Italy. We got to the guest house by 1 in the morning. As we walked into the reception, Laura the all time receptionist, did the favour of allocating rooms to everyone."Mr Grants" she smiled at me, your usual suite is ready, just call if you need anything."Yes we will be needing something" Lois cut in."Excuse me?" Laura replied, rather haughtily. I was about to talk, but Lois stepped on my toes, sending a silent message that she could handle the situation."I need a Rose water bath, please make it available soonest" Lois replied politely."Okay, that would be prepared in your room, and you are?"
