Stuck Between The Mafia Lord And His Twin CHAPTER 25
I stared at Alexander, moping bluntly after he just said the words that came out of his mouth. I wanted to speak, but my tongue felt tied, and my brain felt frozen, frozen enough to not be able to put words together in context to make it make sense.And he only repeated himself one more time."The men of my family…" he said again. "Are the CEOs of a Mafia Empire."I heard him the first time.All I just wanted to do was put two and two together, and see my husband in that light.It was the most difficult thing ever."Mafia Empire," I said, I repeated. "I mean, that just means you sell drugs, right? An organized high class drug selling business…"I tried to say it that way to numb the gravity of what else it could mean. I had read about people like that before, and I had seen them in movies before. I knew the kind of shadiness that could be linked with such a line of work, the kind of blood you would have to touch, and the number of lives you may have to take. But, I couldn't see Alexan

The days of my marriage with Alexander Mckenzie after that very night were very cold. Frosty, even."Mrs Mckenzie."The truth is that no matter how hard I tried, I could not bring myself to look at that man any other way. I didn't know which hurt most — if it was the fact that he tricked me into marrying him before telling me the truth about his business, or the fact that he was the kind of person he was. No matter how anybody puts it, the business of a Mafia Lord is not just as clean as buying and selling drugs, it gets dirtier than that and that is a blunt fact."Mrs Mckenzie."And I could not even imagine someone that I am supposed to be spending the rest of my life with, been that shady."Mrs Mckenzie."To think that I was stupid. So fucking stupid to actually believe that it was possible for a human being to be so perfect and so flawless. So spotless. Well, I had most definitely learnt my lesson.Alexander and I could have been married by Law, but by heart, he and I were total, c

ALEXANDERBreakfast was getting cold.I had been waiting for Darlene to come down and join me, just after I had asked Elyna to beckon her, but it seemed to me like she was taking her very precious time.So, I sat there and waited every passing minute, watching the steam of our coffee slowly dissipate and disappear, until it was no more. Coffee was cold; I hated cold coffee.However, cold coffee was one of the very things that I had started getting very used to, in this house. My appetite to eat was zero, and most breakfast mornings, I would sit there on the table and wander into thought for what seemed like just three minutes, only to realize that an hour and a half had passed and the food was now cold.Another thing I had learned to get used to was the quietness of this house. On a norm, the house was actually always quiet. The maids and workers were always about their own business and none of them spoke to me unless I beckoned them. If they spoke amongst themselves, there was not a

DARLENE"You need anything, Maim?"I had been sitting down there in the waiting room the entire time before the Interview. I had nowhere else to go. I was still contemplating between going to join Alexander to meet his family and distancing myself from all of them until it was time for the Interview.It wasn't that I was being petty enough to not speak to his family. I knew I could be petty when I wanted to, but right now, that was the least bit of my intentions. By right, I shouldn't have been faulted for it anyway. They all dragged me into this nightmare marriage I was living in, and if I wanted to be mad at them, I wouldn't be faulted. But that wasn't it. Not even close particularly.The truth was that no matter how angry at them I was, I still couldn't disrespect them. I couldn't do anything that would put my own family on the line. As a matter of fact, it would have been best if Alexander's family could not pick out that we had problems.That was one of the reasons why I decided

We had already started screwing this up and the fact that the entire Mckenzie family, from Mr Mckenzie to his wife and to that strawberry blonde haired Frederick were all here, made it even all the more unsettling for me.I glanced at Alexander and wondered what was wrong with him. He was the one who begged to act normal and not make anyone know that anything was wrong and yet he was the one dodging my hand and walking ahead of me like I didn't exist."Good afternoon, Mr and Mrs Mckenzie, and Welcome to the Weekend Show! I'm your host, Shay Ning, and it is a pleasure having you both here today!" The Interviewer started to speak, and up came my fake smiles and wide eyes of feigned excitement.Fortunately, Alexander could cooperate by quipping a bit of a smile too."How are you feeling today, Mr Mckenzie?" She asked Alexander."Good," He answered promptly. "I'm well. What about you?""Nice of you to care to ask, I'm great AND excited to have you here with your lovely wife! She is even p

The moment that the Interview ended and it was indication that I was free to get the hell out of here, I couldn't have been more relieved.I had accepted that Darlene was not going to talk to me, or at least pretend like we were on good terms with me in public. I felt it coming, I knew that she would no be able to contain herself. The little I had found out about Darlene, she was not a very discreet person when it came to hiding her feelings. I liked that about her easily, but now it made me worried, thinking she would slip up where or when she was not supposed to.Just like how she did during the Interview.Again, I knew her to be a very smart woman so I was grateful when she proved that fact by covering up the mess that she started. I only wondered how far that went t conceal the truth, if people bought it, I'd my father would buy it. And in case of the future — if I could live this one out — how easy would it be to keep covering up our slip ups in public?I was very skeptical about

DARLENEAfter the Interview, me and Alexander had part ways.To be honest, I was not much interested in keeping this act any longer especially after an exhausting hour of fake smiling and holds and shit, so the moment it was declared to be over, I got up, took my purse with me and started to go out of the studio.His family was at the other end of the room, and hopefully, they would not see us. My guess was that they had stepped out already. And for the members of the studio: the host, Shay, and the crew, I was little to nil interested in continuing to act in front of them. Whatever they deduced from my relationship with Alexander, that was their business.As I walked off, the first thing I did was to open the Internet. Lately, I had been doing that a whole lot. Because I had found that even if I did not have an active account that people knew me by, I had some dump account which I didn't know the password of, saved in my phone, and with that, I had been getting all the details of how

ALEXANDERMy father stood at the other end of the Hallway, staring down at me and Frederick with eyes that held no atom of emotion.Zero emotion. Usually the man was difficult to read, but with careful looks, I could pick out a flash or hunt of emotion in those dark eyes. But now, none of that could even be seen.Frederick, who I thought had already gone by now, adjusted his stance behind me. It was no surprise to me how much our dad's strong aura and fierceness was enough to make a person want to 'buckle up'. It was only natural. If I was not so used to being in this kind of uncomfortable situation with him, I would have been shaking too.However, for a long time now, it has been hard for me to feel fear. Not of death, not of my father either, who was scarier than death."Son," He called me."Yes, Father." I answered.He spoke no more as he fell into steps, his hands stuffed in the darkness of his pockets as he made his way towards me.Quietly, I stood there and waits for him to reac

DARLENE“Rise and shine sleepy heads! Breakfast’s ready!” Prince Charles’ booming baritone cracked through my skull before a wash of yellow light bored through my closed eyelids so that I groaned, breaking into a chuckle when Alexander groaned beside me.“Fucking hell Charles, did your parents not teach you to knock?” My husband hissed, throwing the soft white duvet away from his hard body and stretching to his feet to snatch the coffee mug the purple-eyed man held out like a peace offering in one hand, his gaze sliding over to me and darkening a shade before he smirked.“I don't believe they did,” He whispered breathlessly, nodding his head to the door where the strawberry blonde-haired man was leaning against the doorframe in brown capri pants, a pearly grin stretched across his smooth face.“Have some decency Frederick, my wife’s in the room,” Alexander whispered, scoffing loudly and sipping his tea as I stretched a yawn and shimmyed away from the bed to rest my head on my husband’

FREDERICK“Die motherfucker,” I gritted, pressing my finger into the claw of the trigger and feeling the gun jerk in my hands, the impact pulling me forward so that I tumbled into the stone flooring.“Come on! Go go go!” I screamed through gritted teeth, waving my hands wildly at Darlene and pushing her around the car as she surged through the barrage of shots pummeling us and firing off a few more rounds as the Umbrella man roared with pain, tearing the knife from his eye with an impossibly loud sucking sound.“I need to get closer,” I hissed through my teeth as I rounded the bend of the car to meet Alwxander’s tense body where he was hunched, hiding from the rain of bullets with Darlene curled in his arms.I swallowed the bile that had risen in my throat, jabbing my fingers into my palms to battle the wooziness that stabbed the sides of my head and peering through the rim of black sedan to see that the man now had a gaping hole in one eye that still spurted blood as he glared around

STEFAN MCCOYMy knuckles were white on the trigger as I watched the man’s hard body as he walked slowly into the room, his eyes never leaving the gun I had pressed dutifully against his wife’s empty ass head.“No sudden moves Alexander or I’ll have the woman’s brains plastered across the floor,” I growled through clenched teeth as Alexander staggered into the room with his father and more of my men surrounding them.I had known something was off the minute I left the penthouse, even before the sound of gunshots echoed out behind us and I asked Markov to turn the car around.The white penthouse with its flashing lights and tall pine trees loomed as ghastly as ever, as I motioned the men every which way, feeling adrenaline rush through my veins when the sounds of gunfire exploded around the sides of the house as my men sniffed the bastards out like the rats that they were.“Please, McCoy, don't do this, My wife has nothing to do with this okay? I’ll, I’ll give you whatever it is you wan

DARLENE“Something’s wrong,” I whispered breathlessly, feeling the hairs on the back of my neck stand straight as I watched the man with the Jerry curls stride away from the large lattice silver gates, a gun held tightly in his right hand.“What the fuck do you mean something’s wrong? McCoy’s going with most of his men! This is our cue to go in, grab the twins, plant the bombs, and hightail the fuck out of here in time for Mrs. McKenzie’s dinner special,” Erwin snapped blithely from his crouch beside me, the rim of a sniper rifle held tightly in his hands, as he peered through the scope.“Lassie’s right, this seems too easy, they must have found out about the decoy car approaching already, that's the only reason for him to leave...and yet,” Williams McKenzie growled on my right flank, raising the tight hulk of his frame into a low squat and inching to slap himself against the tree, the burnt orange blackness of the forest blending perfectly with our camo gear.“We should-” Erwin start

ALEXANDERThe bright fluorescent lights tore through my eyelids to fry my eyeballs before I had even opened my eyes. I groaned, the soreness in my arms and stiff legs making me groan louder as I let my head fall back into my chest.What the hell did the bastard hit me with? Fucking hulk?“Ugh!” I groaned, screwing one eye open to lock gazes with my brother’s blanched face and watching him sag with relief when he saw that I had opened my eyes.“Alexander? Fuck! Thank saints you're okay,” He rasped breathlessly and I felt the scowl deepen between my eyebrows as I glared at the swollen purple bruises on his face that had left the skin of his face puffy and red.“Your buddy didn't take too kindly to you I reckon, stabbed you in the fucking balls just like you did to me you piece of shit!” I barked acidly, watching my brother rear back on the chair that he was strapped to like he had been slapped.I looked down to see I was lying on some makeshift gurney table, feeling my heart pound wildl

DARLENE“Where is he? Where’s my husband?” I whizzed when I caught up to the ring chief scowling in the middle of the road, his hands fixed patiently on his narrow hips.“He’s gone Dar, that McCoy took him,” Prince Charles gritted, eyeing me carefully before I noticed his hand cupping the large gash on his chest, the trickle of blood pooling on the purple suit staining the area black.“Here, let’s get you to the car,” I gritted through clenched teeth, managing to push the words past the lump that had grown in my throat and tugging the man’s hand free when he resisted before hooking it over one shoulder, grunting when he leaned his weight on me a little.I could hear the whirl of sirens in the distance as they got closer and I yelped, slamming to a stop when the purple-eyed man stopped suddenly in his tracks.What the hell was it with mafia men and having death wishes? I tried not to look at the nasty knife wound on his abdomen or the purple and red bruises on his chin and focused inst

FREDERICK“Did you have to do it that hard?” I whispered, feeling tears gather in my eyes as I watched the Umbrella Man tower over my brother’s limp body, his brown eyes almost luminescent in the dark.“Quiet Frederick, you're ruining my groove, take him.” Stefan McCoy growled and I felt my heart hammer in my ribs as the masked ninjas dropped from the trees like banana monkeys, hooking my brother’s hard body onto the stretcher as I watched on with widened eyes.“Is he dead?” I rasped breathlessly, feeling panic burn in my chest as I trotted after the men, the crunch of dried leaves under my feet sounding loud in the silence as the masked men marched my brother to the large white van that had been parked off to the side of the highway.“Not yet,“ The Umbrella man whispered, rubbing his hands together in glee as they loaded him into the van and I felt a flicker of doubt spark in my chest.“So it’s all good now right? Everything will go as planned now?” I coughed, scarcely trusting mysel

ALEXANDERIt took longer than I would have liked for my eyes to adjust to the near blackness as I entered the forest.“Where are you? You son of a bitch,” I ground through clenched teeth, waving the gun this way and that and aware of the way I was panting loudly, carefully placing one foot in front of the other.My arms were starting to get sore from holding the gun up and high, my knuckles white on the trigger as I crept along the line of trees, freezing when I thought I had heard the distinct sound of a tree branch snapping.Could this get any fucking worse? Did the motherfucker have to pick the shittiest forest in the whole of New York to make his dramatic comeback?“Go on and run away like the coward that you fucking are McCoy, I can smell that cheap perfume from a mile away,” I jeered loudly, feeling goosebumps rise on my skin when my distorted voice echoed back to me in the blackness.I tried to focus past the hum that had started in my ears but my mind was not following my eyes

DARLENEMy husband hadn't made any sense when he got off the phone with the purple-eyed man and it made even less sense now as we sped toward the edge of town with his knuckles white on the steering wheel.I braced myself against the cool leather of the dashboard, trying to calm the staccato beating of my heart in my chest as we sped through the stretch of asphalt and felt a wave of nausea press insistently against the roof of my mouth.“Are you sure about the address?” I wheezed, unable to bear the silence any longer and risking a glance at the chiseled line of Alexander’s jaw, the way his piercing green eyes were starting dead ahead, his flock of obsidian black hair falling over his face as the muscles of his shoulder and bicep flexed when he fishtailed the steering wheel.“White Villa at Maple Street, I didn't know he lived there, there's only one of the kind, you can't miss it,” He whispered, and even though I knew the steel in his voice couldn't have been meant for me, it made sh
