*SILIA* “Do you think this is a good idea?” I asked, looking slightly hesitant as we headed towards my apartment. “Well it’s what we should do for your beloved friend for us to be together again,” Draven said sarcasm dripping from his tone. “But what if she becomes aware of our motives and tried to do something to us again?” I asked hating that I was feeling this strange fright from the thought of facing her again. With what Lisa had done and what her identity was it made me slightly wary of her now. All this while she acted as if she had been the only person to love me and care for me but she had just been using me to keep tabs on Draven. I felt a gnawing feeling in my heart every time that I thought about it. “Well if she is with the Fedelta then she is bound to know about our relationship soon enough. Besides if we try to hide this she might get apprehensive but if we become upfront about it then she might get confused. Although she will take some measures to make sure that you
*SILIA* The amount of lies I had told in this short amount of time was making me want to burst out in laughter especially because I could feel Lisa’s head almost running in over drive at what was happening before her. She must not have thought such a day would come in her life where Draven would come around and agree to be with me. For so long she had repeatedly tried to remind him and accuse him that he was the one to have made me hurt that Draven didn’t have the power in him to actually act out and do something. He couldn’t be with me for so long because of her and here she was acting innocent before me. “Fine! Stop crying please!” she said and by the time she had shouted that there was a knock on the door and I could hear Nick’s voice come from the other side. “Is everything alright?” he asked us through the door and finally sighing Lisa pulled away from me and opened the door. “Okay let me think about it,” she said going to open the door for me. I stopped her and holding onto
*DRAVEN* Diana who was trying to act appreciative of our relatiophip and to show support had insisted that the four of us had dinner lunch together. I wasn’t very keen on it and neither was Silia but she still needed to act like a good best friend to her and had therefore agreed. Not trusting Lisa with the food, she had said that it was her treat and had insisted that she cooked to celebrate the occasion. “I’ll help!” the enthusiastic Asian sitting in front of me immediately said looking at me once and then dashing straight towards the kitchen by Silia’s side. I wanted to go there too but Lisa was purposely sitting before me, wanting to continue our conversation from before. “You must be happy then to have her with you again,” she said peeling an orange kept on the table before her. “Of course I am,” I said looking back at the window of the open kitchen to see Silia talking to Nick enthusiastically. “You haven’t tried to betray me, right? It isn’t on purpose,” she asked and I c
*SILIA* I had been ready for sexy time with Draven when suddenly he received a call from Alfeo. “Should I pick it up?” I asked when I noticed him bringing in some groceries that we had bought on the way. “Yeah, just put it on speaker,” he said and nodding I picked up the call and put it on speaker. “Hey,” I said and listening to my voice he paused not replying back. “I didn’t call at an awkward time did I? Are you guys doing the nasty while talking to me?” he asked making me blush at once and Draven chuckled at my flamed cheeks. “I wouldn’t ever let you hear her moans you sick bastard,” Draven said making Alfeo laugh as I followed Draven into the kitchen. “Alright if it’s safe to talk then lets put the joke aside and listen to this news,” he said making Draven and I look at each other and immediately come closer to the phone as we interestedly waited for him to speak. “One of the bases of Ravens have been blasted and it is said that it was done by the phantoms but you know I do
*SILIA*“This feels so odd,” Alfeo commented, watching me sitting before him, ready for a private meeting of the Calixes.“Agreed, it sure does,” I said as I stared back at him. Then moving my gaze from him and to the couple in the corner I said, “Well at least you only feel odd, look at Diana and Gavin over there. She is having a hard time trying to console him.”“It must be rough on him. He has worked here for longer than me and has been by Draven’s side for so long and yet the man had no idea who you were to his leader. Neither did Diana ever tell him. He is bound to feel betrayed,” Alfeo said, clicking his tongue at the frown clear on Gavin’s face as we watched Diana trying to sweet talk him and apologize.“I feel like Draven owes Diana a lot too. He literally has her apologizing to everyone,” I said feeling bad for her.“Well let’s not dwell on it, at least you are finally and officially sitting here with us and working alongside,” he said with a grin and I nodded my head at him.
*SILIA*“Finally, I can have you to myself,” Draven sighed, picking me up right by my waist and putting me on his lap. With the pencil skirt that I was wearing it was difficult to part my legs and therefore I was stuck sitting facing opposite him.“I can’t see your face,” I complained, trying to turn around but keeping me in place he trapped me to the table and pushing my body to it I felt him press against me. He was hard. I could feel his member grinding against my ass and wondering since when has he been like this, I mumbled, “But someone else seems to like this position a little too much.”“Don’t you know how hard it had been for me to resist you when you had been walking around the whole office in this tight skirt showcasing your ass for the others to see? Every time you wore a skirt and came to my office I was on my mind’s edge keeping an eye on you to make sure no one did something to you. You look fucking delectable in it,” he said and as if to prove that he was speaking the t
*SILIA*It felt strange to be sitting in front of Draven like this just passing time.“You know it’s almost as if we are on a date,” I commented, sitting outside a cafe that overlooked a small rundown bakery.Placing down his own coffee cup he narrowed his eyes and shook his head, “No, don’t you dare take this as our first date. I can’t let something like this to be a part of your memory as a date after we got back together. This isn’t enough.”“You know I am fine with anything as long as it’s with you. We used to have coffees like this quite some times in the past. You know taking a break in between work,” I said smiling at him as I was now happily able to recall and reminiscence of the time that we were together.“Even then I am sorry I should have done something sooner. It might sound like an excuse but I hope you understand that I got too wrapped up in work,” he said making me laugh.“What are you talking about? I am equally responsible for this. I was just as involved and pushing
*SILIA*“This room?” I asked, making Draven nod and I entered first to see that the room had Alfeo already present there with the man. Carlo is tied up to a chair and he faces away from me so he cannot see me enter yet but Alfeo does and he nods at me in greeting.When I am about to round and step to the other side he merely shakes his head lightly to tell me to stay put and Draven stands beside me looking at Alfeo, wondering what he was up to.“So you don’t know what La Fedelta is?” Alfeo asked Carlo to make us understand the reason he had told us to stay put.“For the millionth time, I don’t know what the fuck you are talking about!” Carlo shouted out, taking me by surprise.“Are you sure you aren’t lying? The consequences wouldn’t be good for you otherwise,” he said and Carlo made a frustrated angry groan in response while once again yelling, “I don’t know shit! Why the fuck have you kidnapped me!”I am sure Carlo realizes who he is talking to but I have to give it to him to still
*SILIA*I think I needed to run away.“Silia? What are you doing here? Are you alright? Everyone was looking for you. It's time!” Diana said hastily coming to me when she found me in the washroom of my suite.Her words only made me panic more and shaking my head I said, “No, Diana I don’t think I can do this. I don’t think I can go out there like this.”My words must have not sat well with her because she donned a softer expression and with a hand patting my back gently for me she pulled me into a hug.“Come on, tell me what is it? What is troubling you and I swear that I will make it alright,” she said and although her hug made me feel good it also reminded me of why I wanted to run away from my own wedding.“This! See this is the problem! I can’t even hug you properly without this belly getting in my way,” I said pointing at the small bump that kept us apart from hugging properly.She seemed to realize what I had been going through and smiling at me she asked, “What are you afraid o
*SILIA*“I don’t think that Romani would actually set this grand of an event,” Diana muttered from beside me. It has been a week since we came back home and the cold mafia woman who we thought was injured was stronger than anyone we knew and had been completely fine even after that blast. Apparently she became unconscious because of exhaustion and nothing else.“According to him he is creating history and he wants the whole world to remember him and this day properly for centuries to come,” I murmured, spotting him introducing Draven to everyone around while laughing heartily. No one would say that he was sick seeing how well and about he was moving around.“He certainly chose a very strange reason to be remembered in history, ‘The man who gave away his business empire to a Mafia Don’,” Alfeo laughed, chiming in on our conversation.“Do you even know how terrified the public and media is over this? I heard the president is on his toes with this change,” Nick said, sipping a glass of c
*SILIA*“Yes! Fuck we did it!” Alfeo shouted enveloping Draven in a hug which I joined along with the others.We were probably making a lot of ruckus pulling, pushing and rejoicing, unable to believe what had happened.We won!We actually won!A clearing of a throat grabbed our attention as Samantha said, “Mr. Romani is waiting for you.”Calming down at her words Draven pulled away from us, smiling at the hoots and laughter. Looking at me he kissed me once and said, “Thank you, this wouldn’t have been possible without you.”I simply smiled at him and then turned back to the rest as he said, “Make sure that all the injured get treated and rested well. We are flying back today itself and celebrating this victory!”“Alright we’ll arrange everything you just go and meet him,” Gavin said and nodding along as I turned to leave with the others when suddenly I was stopped.“Miss Morgan, Mr. Romani wants to meet you too,” Samantha said, making everyone stop in their movements as they all looke
*SILIA*I couldn’t grasp the sense of reality. I had killed the one person that had previously meant the world to me. I had thought that I hated her a lot but even now when she had said that she hated me I couldn’t help but feel hurt. I didn’t want her to hate me. I had wanted things to have never gone the way that they had.I never wanted to lose her.“Shh, it’s alright you did what you had to,” Draven said and slowly walked towards me. I could see the pity in his eyes and I am sure I looked like a mess but his eyes didn’t stray to anywhere else but my eyes. His gray ones pierced straight into mine, reminding me of the peaceful shine of a breezy moonlit night.Reaching me he first gripped my hand over the fork and prying away my hand carefully from the weapon of murder he took hold of my violently shaking hands that couldn’t control the tension now that they weren’t holding onto the wood for dear life. Throwing away the fork to a safe distance away he immediately pulled me into a hu
*SILIA*“You might have reached till here but I cannot let you go any further than this,” Lisa said, it felt as if it had been days since I had seen her and I wouldn’t have minded it being a little longer or until I died for me to face her again.I still can’t believe she had left me alone there with Luca to suffer, it was worse than simply killing me. She wanted me to ‘suffer’, to prolong my misery.“You really think you can stop us?” I asked, challenging her, feeling my insides burn with hatred.She ignored me and looking at Draven she said, “If you still care about your people’s life then you would back away while I am giving you the chance to. You will lose the game but will return back alive.”Wasn’t she being a little too cocky?If Nick had been enough to take her down alone then the twelve people we had brought with us were definitely a lot stronger.“And lose the opportunity to kill the person who has been the sole reason for all our sufferings? No, thank you,” Draven said wit
*SILIA*“Hey! Hey who are you people! Get off my farm!”A man came shouting at us like a lunatic when we stopped our cars in front of his house.Getting out of the car Alfeo approached the man and introducing himself he said, “We just need a little assistance from you. We need to check something in your barn. Can we please do that?”“No absolutely not!” The old and hot headed man shouted at us, “You think I'll just let you jackasses get into my property just like that. Absolutely not mister.”“We will be happy to pay you a good amount of money for that. If you would just let us in then this briefcase full of money will be yours,” He said, showing him a briefcase that had been brimming full with money. By the way this farm and house looked, he really needed that for repair works and maybe to even live life in general.He stopped and hesitated for a minute when suddenly the door to his house opened and through it came an old lady, probably his wife.“Al? Who are these people?” she aske
*SILIA*“Yes! She was right about it,” Gavin shouted barging in through the door with Nick trailing behind him. The two of them looked really spent and when I was about to ask Nick what happened but he put up a hand before me to stop me from speaking.“My eyes have been fried from staring at a screen for around thirty six hours now and I fear that if I even blink it shut it isn’t going to open anymore,” he said and then mumbled under his breath, “That's why I hate Mafias.”“So what did you find?” Draven asked and the rest of us huddled closer to his laptop that he had brought with him.“So far we have learnt about a small vineyard that is very exclusive and is situated on the island called Martha’s Vineyard. It is registered under another woman’s name so it was hard for us to track it down but we finally did. The label vine that it makes there is called, ‘Dives Uvae’ which also means rich grapes in Latin.”“A silly name if you ask me,” Alfeo muttered in between to which Diana laughed
*SILIA*“Only ten days are left,” Gavin said, making all of us sigh in frustration.“That's too little time and we still don’t have any clue about where Romani might be,” Nick mumbled, having joined the Mafia unable to stay away from this life after getting so deep into it once again.“No we don’t give up hope here, we can still turn the situation around, we just need to think from another perspective,” Diana said, making me nod along but if truth be said even I was losing confidence with how little time we had left.“If it makes anyone feel good then at least the Ravens aren’t in any position to even care about this game when they are already so deep in their own troubles,” Alfeo said, making me nod along.“Not to forget that the Phantoms don’t seem to have any clue about Romani too, although they have become more frantic in their searches,” I said, frowning near the end.No matter what anybody said or did it was clear that we were all on the edge with how close we were to winning an
*SILIA*“What was that just now?” Draven asked, looking slightly dazed as we took the elevator up to his office.“Just a little mental torture,” I said smiling at him. “He hadn’t hurt me physically as much as he did mentally every time that he touched me or tried to brainwash me into loving him.”I didn’t realize but a frown had taken over on its own and seeing that Draven said, “Let me overwrite that memory.”Pushing me against the cold walls of the elevator he kissed me. I fought for control, my body turning hot at his touch. After staying away from him for so long it was as if every time that he touched me he was quenching a thirst in my body.Our tongues slid against each other, gently caressing, massaging and sucking. I wanted to take control again like how I did before but as soon as he realized what I was doing he brought his hand down to my thigh and gripped it, making me gasp at how close he was to my crotch. He then pushed a knee gently against my excited entrance, leaving i
