2024-09-13 12:24:32“So loud,” I say to none in particular because they couldn't hear anyway and continue to be guided further into the club by a Sydney who seems way too comfortable with these surroundings. When she finally finds a spot she is satisfied with she pulls me into her and wraps an arm around my waist swaying us to the music. I keep a steady pace with her studying her pretty long wavy brown hair she has pulled into a messy bun atop her head, and the silver dress she is wearing with a sequence with a red lip to tie it all together my friend is beautiful and achingly so.
We continue bobbing and swaying to the music when I feel a prickling sensation run down my spine and makes my blood run cold. I discreetly take a look over Sydney's shoulder and when my eyes clash with his very eerily bright blue ones, my steps falter and I almost collapse to the ground.
Roman Russo is here.
Roman
Elena De Santo in my fucking club I thought I told her brother to keep her the hell away from me after the shit she pulled 6 years ago at her 15 birthday, and here she comes strolling in with the tightest dress I have seen in my entire life. From my spot on the balcony over the club I can micromanage everything as I should to make sure my club continues running smoothly, so imagine how I feel when a little Miss Tight Dress strolls in turning heads and distracting me.
And within 30 seconds of my attention being taken a fight starts to break out. Pushing my way through the people I make my way towards the action which my bodyguards are failing to descalate. Prying my eyes away from the most very surprising appearance of Elena was hard enough, her sandy brown curls falling over her shoulder barely touching her collarbones and the brown skin that shows through that tight dress that leaves little for imagination. When I finally make my way to the guys one of them attempts to throw a gut punch at the other and i catch it mid-air twisting his arm, I come up real close to his face my annoyance written all over mine, “What the hell are you doing” he yells my quickly recovers when he sees who is holding his wrist, “I'm gonna give you 30 seconds to come up with a fitting explanation as to why you started a fight in my club” I say in a cool even tone. “I-I–” he stammers trying to come up with words that I care very little about hearing and I snap his wrist. “Wrong answer I mumble dropping his wrist and flicking off an invisible piece of lint off my suit before casually walking away and heading back towards the stairs.

Roman Russo is here right now and he just broke a man's wrist in front of me and then casually walked away. What the hell is going on, …..

Casually making my way back to the balcony but opposite where I was so Elena doesn't have my exact location, I watch her. She is now by the bar downing a drink like her life depends on it. I smirk knowing how rattled I got her. Elena is soft, too soft and she likes to fit in and play tough but if I ever got my hands on her I would crush her immediately.Watching her finish that drink and then immediately order another one is when I notice the douchebag making his way toward her. Wearing a black button down shirt that looks incredibly wrinkled suggesting something he spent his night doing. He makes his way to Elena plastering his ever-so-charming smile on and starts sweet-talking to her. I can tell it's working based on the subtle grin that is on her face and she gives a quick goodbye to her friend before she lets him lead her through the crowd.Glancing down at my watch I realize if I don't leave now I will be running late to a meeting but something inside me won't allow me to go knowi

Loosening the hold I have on the guy's neck I let his body drop to the ground and I stare down at Elena. She looks almost as upset and hurt as the last time I saw her and damn for some reason that stings. I offer her my hand which she slaps to the side and stumbles trying to get up, when she finally finds her footing she looks up at me teary-eyed, “you just have amazing fucking time Russo” she scoffs. “A thank you would suffice, "I tell her while eyeing the bruise blossoming on the nape of her neck and then the guy, I should've taken my time.Following where my eyes went “Overkill much?” she asks “Pun fucking intended” she mumbles. “I suggest you say goodbye to your friend, your brother is on the way to pick you up,” I say, turning around. “You did not call him you fucking idiot,” she says running up behind me. I turn around arching a brow and ask, “Would you rather I did nothing, your brother would never forgive me if I let his baby sister wander off with a guy she barely knows”. I s

I slide into the passenger seat with full intentions to be silent and pretend this never happened the whole time. But of course, with Cas, this isn't possible. As soon as I get in the car he turns to me with a furious expression written all over his face. “What. The. Fuck. Elena” he growls sounding all the more angry than he looks. “Out of all the clubs in the city you choose Roman Fucking Russo, just begging for attention now are you?”. I return the same tone because who does he think he's talking to like that, “first of all I didn't know it was his club and secondly I don't have to beg for anything, not attention and sure as hell not from him.” I say sounding just as offended as I feel. “You think i wanted to run into him, see him or even talk to him,” i say sounding as defeated as I feel, “that man shattered me whole and left the pieces for me to clean up,” I say now shaking with anger and hurt “if you think I want anything to do with that son of bitch you are crazy he can go die in

I walk down the stairwell gripping the banister, I can hear the commotion coming from my brother's office but I know better than to eavesdrop. Nothing good comes from that in this life. I continue my descent down to the kitchen, Gretchen is here with a sweet grin plastered on her face and she sways to the song streaming from the radio. If graceful was a word it would be her, she in her sage green apron with black pants and slippers on. When she sees me entering she says, “Good Morning Sweetheart” dusting her hands on her apron and reaching for my hand. I grab hers as she leads me to the breakfast nook, “What will it be today, oatmeal or pancakes”. She says releasing me to go towards the stove, “With the week I had both, please”. She makes her way back towards me placing a bowl of apple cinnamon oatmeal and blueberry pancakes on a plate, “I thought you'd say that” she says with a smirk while setting them down before me and grabbing a cup of apple juice and setting that down as well.

My father blows out a puff of smoke as he continues to chuckle with Nicolis Ricci, one of his–our men. “He played that boy like a violin,” my father says, coughing out a hard laugh, and hitting his chest. Nicolis laughs too, hard and says, “You would think he'd seen it coming, Malcolm never liked that family” he chuckles leaning back in the chair–my chair.They're sitting across from me in my home office, my father came over under the pretense of wanting to talk but just instead shoved a bunch of folders of suitable women for me. He says, “I'm getting older and my good looks are running out” and that I need to find a wife, and random hookups aren't going to cut it anymore as if he stopped having random hookups when he married my mother. I ignored him as usual because none, including my father, tells me when to get stuff done. When he finally gave up he invited Nicolis and has been sitting here laughing at Caspers's situation.

He been whining like a little bitch the whole afternoon we attended two meetings this morning, one i would usually attend by myself but deciding to make an attempt at being a good human being and bring Casper along so he could get a better outlook on the current ongoing pressings matter in the mafia and maybe find a solution to his own problems. Big. Fucking. Mistake. During the meeting he found out Agosti found a new buyer and was fucking furious. I can see where he could be furious but whining about it wont change anything, he should be figuring out his next move because right now he's looking really vulnerable. “I'm gonna kill someone !” he yells the sounds echoing in the primarily open foyer which i haven't seen in a while.

Elena I inhale deeply my reflection staring back at me. Those mossy green eyes speckled with dark spots, my thick eyebrows and the defiant curl that always manages to slip out. I'm wearing a red deep maroon lipstick today to go with my black slip on dress which has a v-neck rimmed in lace . I picked a pair of diamond encrusted earrings to pair with the outfit. Half of my hair is pinned back and the other is let down to show them off. I think I'm ready but then again how ready can you be to get sold off to a man you don't even know. The greater good i think to myself this is all for the greater good, Casper will be safe, for now at least until he digs himself into some knee dip shit in a few months. This- this is worth it, I can be the housewife Alessandro needs me to be. What might that even consist of cooking, cleaning? I can do that–I will do it.

ElenaMaybe it was the collision and my brain was still a bit fuzzy because when I looked back up at Roman again he looked like a fallen angel.Granted I probably have never gotten up this close to him, definitely not close enough to smell the aftershave and cologne he wears. Maybe it was always there but I was too entranced in his eyes to notice.Crystal blue and glaring at me as if I kicked his pet puppy, quickly becoming aware of our intense staring battle I look away.He breaks the silence, his voice gruff and annoyed, nothing new.“Are you always in such a rush, Sunshine ?”I look back at him again, this fucker had some audacity.“Only when I'm trying to get away from you” I say with a sweet smile I know will only anger him more.“And look where you ended up,” he smirked, and stalked past me towards the door.I don't know why but I wasn't necessarily thrilled with the idea of him leaving again. Damn I must have hit my head pretty hard.“Aw, did I scare you off ?” I mock him fold

ElenaI groan when a cool breeze disturbs my warmth. I nestle further into the warm blanket until the breeze comes once again. I sit upright pissed and glance towards the right where I felt the breeze coming. The window is open, weird. I don't remember opening it last night. I reluctantly get out of bed and make my way towards the window, shutting it close. Damn freezing, I'm up now. No matter how much I hate Roman I cant lie that fucker has comfy linen.The past day hasn't fully settled in and maybe that's for the best, I can't afford to self-destruct right now. I have too much on the line with Casper and now Father, when did my life go to shit. Oh I know when my mother decided to go ahead and die.Mentally cursing myself and realizing I need a distraction I decide to get ready for the day.

Elena The house is beautiful. It is without a doubt the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. It looks as if a farm style house and Mediterranean style house had a baby. It is devastatingly beautiful and I am so envious of it. I shouldn’t like it, I shouldn't like anything associated with this walking demon of a man. The car door opens drawing me from my thoughts. I turn to see Roman standing there. There's his hand on the car handle, a boreed expression on his face.I exit the car without thanking him and walk towards the front door while he circles the car to get to the trunk. I refuse to stare at his firm ass. Admiring the door and its golden hinges with beautiful expensive exterior the door opens scaring me shitless. A man wearing a simple classy clothed with primarily grey hair and thick spectacles on his nose. Who the hell is this ?”Hello Mrs. De Santo welcome to the Russo estate, My name is Linch Alfred” he waves me inside the house and I sneak a peek back to see Roman tryin

ElenaI lean my head against the cool window and squeeze my eyes shut. I've convinced myself if I don't open them this hasn't really happened. This was all just a bad dream, one I will laugh at how silly it was soon enough. But when a bump sends me flying forward reality snaps back into place.I brace my hands on the dashboard as the car evens out again and glare at the crystal eyed demon beside me. “Tryna kill me already” I say and settle back into my seat not forgetting to secure my seat belt this time.He expertly makes a turn spinning the wheel with his palm braced on the top, just the sight makes my stomach clench with a feeling I would not like to explore. Snap out of it Elena. He glances at me then looks back toward the road, “By crashing ?” he asks and then lets out a short laugh satan would use, “Of course not that would put me at risk and far too messy this light leather would never get clean, I would simply do it somewhere remote off the grid where none can hear you scream.

ElenaLife can change in the blink of an eye, one second you can be having the time of your life and the next your life can feel like it's over. Being a family in the Mafia, this is embedded in me already. I thought I was ready for anything that came at me tonight but nothing could prepare me for what just happened.I pace the length of my bedroom once again, this cannot be happening. The one man in the world I wanted and couldn't have comes back into the picture with the ultimatum of a lifetime. If I don't agree Casper is doomed but if I do so am i. I fall back onto my bed, place a hand on my racing heart, just breathe Elena, I was sent up here to start packing because apparently I'm supposed to move in with that monster. My next breath catches and before I can stop it a sob slips out.
