THE GANGSTER'S FAKE WIFE Eight.
(Alphonso’s POV)The next morning, I woke up to the smell of fresh coffee and toast. I sat up, perplexed, wondering who had made breakfast because Catherine knew I never ate breakfast at home, and Frank usually had pancakes.“Good morning, sleepy head.” Lily's voice spoke as she dressed in my shirt from the night before and held a tray of breakfast.I frowned in confusion and asked, “Since when do you make breakfast?” As she placed the tray in front of me.She chuckled, “I was excited that today was my first day of working at your office, so I thought I might give Catherine a break and just make breakfast myself.”I was expecting a bad breakfast because Lily had never been in the kitchen in the time I had known her.I took a sip of the coffee, and it was amazing, as if she had brewed it herself.“This is amazing; I didn't know you could cook.” I expressed my surprise.“You don't know much about me,” she chuckled, replied with a shrug: “Catherine will take Frank to school, and I will t

(Lola's POV)Chris kept swerving around traffic as he kept an eye out for the car that was behind us. I knew that our lives might be in danger, but I was just excited to be part of something as dangerous as this. For the first time in a long time, I could feel my adrenaline pumping, and I was loving it.“Why would you put our lives in danger?!” Chris yelled at me as he stepped on the gas pedal.I chuckled. “How should I have known that they were dangerous people?” I asked, clearly mot taking this as serious as he was.He glared at me and said, “This isn't funny!” He barked.I gathered the things I had pickpocketed from the men at the club and thought, “Maybe if we just threw these things out, they would stop following us.”“Or they would be furious if they were damaged and it will piss them off more that you already have.” Chris stated as he took a hard right, I hit my head on the window.“I have a plan.” He said this as he pulled out his phone, dialling with one hand while keeping hi

(Lily's POV)I didn't know how to react when I saw Oscar there.“Let's get this meeting started.” Alfonso said as he led me to a seat beside him. “I don't expect this to be a long meeting though, as I don't think I could agree to have you as an investor in my company as it would be a conflict of interest. You met my wife yesterday; what makes me think that you weren’t just doing that in an attempt to create a rapport with her?”This isn't going to be good, I thought as I sat beside Alfonso. He didn't like that Frank and I spent the day with another man, but it's a different thing when the same man shows up at your office wanting to be an investor in your company.“I don't think...” The man with Oscar started to say something, but Oscar put his hand on his arm as if to tell him he'd take care of it.Oscar looked at Alfonso and me with a smile and said, “I am just the lawyer who is here to oversee this matter between you and my client, who is the one who is investing in your company.” H

(Chris' POV)It took me almost dying to understand what was happening. I had found my own Chris. I didn't have to think about much when I worked with Lily, as she did the worrying for us, but now I had to be Lily since Lola was just being reckless. And when she saw that what Lily and I did wasn't just us having fun, she wanted to bail; she didn't want to have to work for anything, and maybe it was time she was taught that nothing comes for free.“If you hurt my fingers again, I'm going to have Alfonso cut yours off.” Lola threatened.I scoffed, “That would mean you'd have to tell him you weren't really kidnapped, but you were just trying to get away from him,” I replied, “I would like to see how that would play out.”“Alfonso loves me. He wouldn't hurt me; I'm the mother of his son.” She retorted.I snickered, “With the smile I saw on him as he was walking with Lily into that building, I have a feeling that he prefers the other Lily.”I prefer the other Lily, I thought.“Whatever,” Lo

(Lily's POV)I had just finished tying Alfonso's tie after our intense sexual encounter when the door was opened and Gloria walked in.“You have someone here to see you.” She said.“I'll go and get you lunch, sir.” I nodded and was about to leave when Alfonso stopped me.“Who is the meeting with?” He asked Gloria.“Mr. Castellano.” She replied.As he stood up and adjusted his suit, he stated, “Let Gloria get the lunch; I will need you to join me in this meeting.” He wrote something down and handed it to Gloria. “That is the lunch order. Lily, let's go.”“I’ll grab my notepad.” I said as I rushed to my desk.Gloria didn't seem very happy to be the one running around getting food. But the boss said she had to get it, so that's exactly what she was going to do.We walked in, and surprisingly, it was one of the men I had researched when I was going through his calendar. I also looked at his work, and he wasn't doing so well at bringing profits to the company. I didn't know if Alfonso didn

(Alfonso's POV)I got a text from Don asking that I get to the location immediately. That meant he needed me to go and see him.“I have to go.” I said as I pocketed my phone, making sure not to make eye contact with Lily as I knew that she wasn't going to like me just walking out, “I'll have a driver come pick you up.”I went to the elevator, and as they opened, I made eye contact with Gloria, but I just walked past her and towards my car.I was welcomed by Ramon again, trying to act tough. I scoffed as I went straight to Don's office.“I was at work. With my wife.” I stated, “This better be important.”“Gemma wants to talk to you.” He said.“That couldn't wait until after I got home from work with my wife?” I shook my head.“I saw how you behaved the first time you saw Gemma; you might be in denial, but deep down you know that you still have feelings for her, and despite you trying to act like a loving and loyal husband, we both know that you will do whatever she wants when you leave

(Lily’s POV)I didn't have a good night's sleep; I kept wondering where Alfonso had run off to and why he lied about it.I had just started to doze off comfortably when Frank ran into my room.“Morning.” He said this as he began jumping on the bed.I rolled over and smiled at him. “Why are you up so early?” I asked, finally realizing that I had been awake all night.“I want to go back to day care.” He exclaimed enthusiastically.I sighed as I begrudgingly got out of bed. “I will help you get ready then.”I also have to go to work. Alone this time.I looked at my phone, and there were no texts or calls from Alfonso. Maybe it had something to do with the mafia? I wondered.Lily, you don't have to overthink it; if it's business—mafia or otherwise—he won't be on his phone all the time. He'll text or call later.I helped Frank get ready as he kept telling me about the many friends he made at day care. He also has a best friend named Blaire now.“So you are having fun in day care?” I asked

(Lily's POV)I let myself wander off in my mind, imagining Alphonso calling me from down the stairs. I could see his charming smile; his hair was messy, the way I like it; and he was dressed casually, with a pair of sweatpants and a vest.I wanted to run into his hands and just feel his embrace.I fell down the stairs after missing a step.“Oh, my goodness, are you okay?” I opened my eyes to see a man with his face covered in a ski mask.I groaned, “I think I'm fine.” I said, as I touched my head, feeling a little lightheaded.“What did you do?” Another man walked in and saw me lying on the ground. For a moment I thought he was all in my head.“She slipped, and she just went tumbling down.” The other man replied defensively.“Get her up, seat her on that chair, and tie her hands behind her back.” Said the other man.The man who was behind me led me to the kitchen, put me on a chair, and duct taped my hands behind me.“If it's money you are looking for; I don't have any; maybe my husba

EPILOGUE.ONE YEAR LATER.Frank was playing with Sienna while Alphonso and Lily were in charge of the people planning a party for her one-year birthday.The door to their new house, a house Alphonso wanted to raise his kids in but Lola never allowed it, opened and in walked Oscar, Gemma and Abigail.“Hello sweetie,” Lily greeted Abigail who just waved as she rushed towards the back yard to find Frank and Sienna. They had formed such a close friendship, including Sienna too despite her young age, and so had their parents.Gemma couldn’t wait to share the news with Lily. And the first thing to show her was the engagement ring.“Oh my god that is so beautiful, I guess he finally popped the question?” Lily asked loud enough to capture Oscar’s attention.“Rushing it actually.” Oscar responds, and he turns to Alphonso, “and you’ll be my best man an

(Third Person’s POV)It was close to the day Lily was to give birth to her little baby girl, and Alphonso seemed to be the nervous one. He was walking around looking at whether he had everything that Lily was going to need at the hospital gathered together.“Should I bring the fluffy or comfy pillow?” Alphonso wondered out aloud as he weighed the options in front of him.He turned to Lily – who was casually lying on the couch in a dolphin onesie eating crisps covered in ice cream.“You know the due date is usually just an estimation by the doctor, right?” She stuffed a bunch of ice creamed covered crisps in her mouth.“The doctor said the due date is likely tomorrow, and I think it doesn’t hurt to be prepared.” Alphonso replied with shrug, “I will go with a comfy one. I think at that point you’ll value comfort above everything else.”Frank joined their p

(Noah’s POV)It had been almost two weeks, and the person I had assigned to watch Diana’s other apartment still had nothing to report to me.If Diana wasn’t staying there, then where the hell was she?!I kept trying to call her phone, but it kept going straight to voicemail. Was she listening to this?I left another message.This time leaving out all the threats and curses.“I just want us to talk about this, Diana. Come back home, and we can have a level-headed conversation about this. We don’t need to ruin our marriage.” I took a deep breath. “I even asked Lola to leave and told her I wanted nothing to do with the child. You are the one I want to have a family with, Diana. Now please call me back.”I hung up after leaving the message.It had taken me a while, but I noticed that I hadn’t seen Lola in a while. I looked around the house, and I was definitely

(Lola’s POV)It had been over a week since Diana left. The trip was supposed to be for a week, but Noah seemed oblivious to this. I knew that Diana was planning something.I had snuck into her room, and there was almost nothing in the closet. Her jewellery was gone. Most of her clothes, shoes and bags.I cursed under my breath; she was leaving this idiot, and he didn’t even worry about it. Or notice it.It was time I went back to my life, back to Alphonso.I started to scope out the apartment. It had been a long since I was there, and I wanted to know what to expect. But all I had seen so far was Frank and Catherine. Never Alphonso.I even tried to sneak into the apartment once, but the locks had been changed.I had lost all my leverage. But I was still Frank’s mother, and I was going to use that to my advantage.“Where did you go?” Noah asked as he came into the house from scoping

(Chris’ POV)Alphonso, Lily, and Frank definitely didn’t spend just an hour together. I was at the parking lot, staring down at Alphonso’s truck.In my mind, I was debating whether or not I wanted to break into the car and see what I could find.But his truck was parked in a place where people would definitely see me if I went and started snooping around his car.I decided to finally go and throw the hook at Denning to see if she would catch what I wanted her to.I handed her a cup of coffee—good coffee, not from the hospital.“I thought you could use some pampering.” I gave her a sweet smile, turning on my charm.“I have been on my feet the whole night.” She complained, but hugged the coffee gratefully. “I have just four more hours left in my shift, then I could go home.” She didn’t seem to even notice my charm, most women do and I don’t have to

(Alphonso’s POV)I closed the door to the bathroom after seeing the man in the shower.“Why did you bring him to where we live with Frank?!” I asked Gemma, shocked that after she gave me a lecture about being reckless, she would do this around my kid.She sighed, “About Frank. I have arranged for Catherine to pick him up at the private airstrip.”“Who will Frank be traveling with?” I inquired.“The pilot is a trusted friend of mine. I have communicated with Catherine, and she has agreed to pick him up. I spoke with Oscar, and he will be letting Abigail and Frank spend more time together; in the meantime, we will be cleaning stuff up here in Deadwood.” Gemma seemed to have thought of everything.I pointed to the door and said, “I think he is too doped up to even formulate a single word.”“I doubt he even knows that he is no longer at Chris’ h

(Diana’s POV)Time always seemed to fly by when I was with Sean. But this time I had my wits with me and didn’t try to sleep with him.He did, however, call me to make sure I got home alright, and it was the small gestures he made that Noah didn’t bother with that made me want to file for divorce even faster.The next morning, I was at the accountant’s office. I wanted to sort out the issues with my finances first, so that the divorce lawyer could have an entire picture of what we were dealing with.“Diana Adams?” An older woman called out my name.“Brett Hunter?” I asked in confusion.The woman chuckled. “You were under the impression that I was a man?”I shook my head, but I was sure my eyes betrayed me.She gestured for me to follow her, “Don’t worry about it. My father knew what he was doing, as my name is what got me here. And my super

(Chris’ POV)I decided to go home and pack; maybe find my way out of Deadwood. Lily didn’t seem to notice me with Alphonso around, and staying at this point was just doing more harm than good.All I needed now was to give Ben a bad batch of drugs; he overdoses, and I throw him in some corner as I leave Deadwood.I was back at the house to find Ben gone!I cursed under my breath as I ran around every room in the house, trying to find him.“Ben?! Where the fuck are you?!” I called out; I didn’t know if I thought he would respond back, but it didn’t hurt to try.He was too drugged up to be able to leave this house alone. But I wasn’t sure of his state; I had been spending most of my time at the hospital with Lily.I didn’t know why, but I felt this burst of anger towards her. How dare she?I took care of her after that crazy wife Alphonso has stabbed her and left her
THE GANGSTER'S FAKE WIFE Sixty-Two.
(Diana’s POV)I didn’t want to go and meet up with Sean. I didn’t even know he had my number. Where did he get my number again?I was in the kitchen making myself some breakfast—glad I didn’t have to take care of Lola anymore—when my phone rang.Unknown caller.I was confused as to who it could be, but I ignored it.“Who was calling you?” Lola asked curiously.I shrugged, “unknown number. Probably a telemarketer or something along those lines.”“Are you sure it’s not the guy you spent the night with?” Lola continued to inquire. If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought Noah sent her to spy on me.Noah had been acting a bit weird too late. As if he wanted us to fix our marriage, but he would then turn around and go back to sleep on the same bed with Lola.I picked up my creamy coffee and my phone with the plate of
