THE LIES THAT BIND Chapter 69
Ana’s POVI’ve been trying to call him for some time now, but he wasn’t picking up the phone. I literally sensed danger along the line while he hugged me the previous day. I was totally out of my mind. My heart was bleeding as I dialed the number but all along it was ‘Switched off’ or I would hear the ‘Not reachable’ note. I imagined something awful had happened to them while they journeyed. My voice was sounding so low as I spoke to the maiden about Marco’s whereabouts. Martha stood with her hands crossed while I spoke. “Are you sure the whole thing wouldn’t turn out to be a mess?” I asked. My face soured as she stood and thought for a while before turning back to me. “Mrs. De Luca, I wouldn’t be in the position to say if something had gone wrong or not, but one thing is for sure. I think the Don would be having a great day, he’s been the most feared and most cherished personality that I’ve ever known. Even the Politicians and honorables fear him. Maybe you just have to give him s

Chapter 70.Massimo’s POV. Dead men filled the house. They were trying to have me killed but I outsmarted them. It wasn’t an easy battle for me though and being alone. I just had to show them who the boss was. Taking you down the memory lane would expose so many things you’ve probably not known about. The last 10 minutes was one which would have decided my fate. ****(10 minutes ago) “Keep quiet Rome, I’d be back.” I Said. My voice was shrill and low. I placed my second finger on my lips, signaling that he kept calm and watched me do my thing. It was one of the greatest risks I’ve taken in my life. Going after four armed men, even while I was unarmed. “Don, this ain’t the United States, this is Spain, you’re on a different soil and as it stands, there’s no way we can get back up, just like in New York. Don you have to take things slow and make sure that things aren’t going to be…” He was amazed at my actions. I left him right away and walked out slowly. The men had already divide

Massimo’s POV. Vodka. That was the first person that got stuck in my head as I reached for a phone in the pocket of one of the men. It was a clear shot Rome took. I’ll have to give him a special treat when we get back to New York. I tried to search the pockets of the men in order to see what I’ll be able to find. I danced to the rhythm of the ringtone which sounded aloud while we turned to see. It was the mobile phone belonging to one of the men. I picked it up immediately and answered. “What’s the situation, Marrow?” He asked. I could feel the familiarity in the voice as I kept mute and listened one more time. “Marrow? Do you copy? What’s the situation of things on ground?” He said again. I shook my head and exhaled. “No matter how hard you go, to bring me down, I’m afraid you won’t succeed, your excellency,” I replied. My face was pale and my left hands clenched. I felt the tightening in my jaw and my end tooth clapped. I was so pained and triggered to begin a war between the C

Massimo’s POV. “How’s the meal going?” Vodka asked as he stared at me on the dining table while I dug in. I was just trying to have myself full of the delicious meal made of turnkey laps and sauce. It felt very tasty and I felt like I should stay here for just a very short while, but Rome was our uttermost concern. “Vee,” (As I fondly called). “I’m seriously enjoying this meal, honestly even the cooks in my mansion in the U.S, would be amazed that a man could cook this good,” I said while I chewed my way through the meat crumbs in my mouth. I was so glad that I did get to stay at his place after all. Vodka and his men, the Redman Mafia, came and took us out of that death hole. He wasn’t the Don anyway, but at least he was the underboss and had some men at his disposal. He smiled at me and then walked towards the table. “Come on, you know you’re always welcome here. As long as I live, there’s nothing going to happen to the union the Redmen has with the Cosa Nostra. I’ll discuss wi

Anastasya’s POV. I walked to and fro in the garden. I was so confused and tried to reminisce about the recent happenings which occurred in the family. ‘What the hell is happening to me? Why would I be the unlucky one in cases like this? All my mates are married to wealthy men. Some aren’t even as rich as Massimo, but since I got married into this multi billionaire household, it’s been one problem to another,’ I muttered. My hands behind my back shivered and I could see Marco as he stepped in. I needed to be alone for the moment but as the case was, he wouldn’t let that happen. “My lady, you seem so bothered about the Don,” he said. His glasses were sunshade and admirable but that didn’t pick my interest since I was so divided. I stood and exhaled sharply. “Marco, please I think I’ll love to be alone,” “Alone? Why would you want to stay alone? You’re never alone, Ana. You know what it means to be the wife of the Don of the Cosa nostra, no one dares come close to you, you’re almost

Ana’s POV. I was amazed to see the governor of the state in the premises. He hadn’t been there even once. I felt so honored to welcome him though. My eyes flashed around to grace the awesome view of the tinted SUVs which were all lined up at the garage. I stumbled at the security of the governor who was all dressed in their black top and trousers. Some were in corporate attires, their suits were implanted with luxury and their faces looked so fierce and tightened. The manpower in the premises belonging to Massimo was no match, compared to what I saw. I stood, and watched as he walked down to me. His stomach made me smile. ‘Ridiculous, chubby man,’ I mumbled. “Ahh, I think it’s a pleasure to meet with the most beautiful lady in the city,’ he eyes widened as he brought forth his hands to give me a hand shake. “Good afternoon, your excellency,” I said, my face clustering with smiles. I felt my heart race and I was uneased. It could be a nightmare or a blessing. “Of course, it is, I

Massimo's POVI stared at my phone, my eyes were fixed on the picture that made my blood boil."Damn!" I shouted, I hit my fist on the table as I stumbled on the picture which displayed on my phone. It felt so surprising to see the Governor of the state, shaking hands with my sister Isabel.‘What was he playing at?’ I muttered, feeling a pang of rage. I felt so bad about it and thought maybe I should leave that damn place as soon as possible because it was looking so obvious that he’s going to deal with them pretty soon. The picture he took with her sounded like a warning and the extent he could go to prove himself to me. Vodka walked in with his dusty boots from the farm. "What's going on, Massimo?" he asked, noticing my frustration.I hesitated as I kept a longing stare at the phone after a quick glance at his direction, but Vodka's curious eyes made me share. "Look at this," I said, handing my phone over to him. His smile faded as he saw the picture. "Who is this guy?" he asked.

The soft hum of the engine and the plush seats created a nice atmosphere, perfect for our discussion.As we sat, he turned to me, his expression serious. "So, Massimo, tell me more about Baize. What makes you think you can take him down even when he’s got the lead?"I leaned back in my seat, recalling the conversation. "I wanted to run for Governor in the next elections, so I went to him for counseling. But he refused to support me unless I gave him a third of my company and...my sister, Vanesa, in marriage."Vodka's eyes widened. "That's serious, Massimo. He's not just asking for business; he's asking for your family's loyalty."I nodded, my jaw clenched. "That's why I consider him an enemy. He's playing games, Vodka, and I won't let him win."I was so hurt. I felt the anger and rage in me erupt but I sat and tried to calm my nerves. The rumble of the train got my attention a

Massimo’s POVBeing intrigued by the meeting was my thing. I stood at the bar and tried to adjust the collar of my dress as I heard the phone on the bed ring out loud. I wasn’t hesitant to take the call since I knew what awaited me for the day. “Massimo,” I heard Isabel’s Voice as she called me downstairs. “What is the problem,” I replied as I quickly walked down to the window and peeped through to see the white Mercedes which was parked just in front of the gate. It was so surprising to see the flag and logo of the New York State boldly stamped on the bonnet. “Who the hell is that?” I inquired. Isabel’s voice turned shrill and I could feel the tension in me as she continued. My heart raced right away. “I think it has to be someone from the government house, maybe.” “And maybe that could be Baize, I was just trying to imagine the governor with me in the same room in the meeting and just now I’m seeing his party…” ‘Knock, Knock!’ That was the sound on my door. I tightened the lac

Ana’s POV. I was trying to catch a glimpse of what he was actually trying to do as he raised my legs up. I tried as much as possible to bear the pain from the doggy sex as he lashed so hard.“Come on, what’s happening? You’re not even moaning at all, this ain’t the real you, Ana, something’s wrong somewhere.” “Massimo, you’re the one on me and just take a look at the way you raised my legs. I’m so uncomfortable and from the way I see it, I don’t think you’re ready to reach orgasm anyway.” I replied. My face stern as I laid on the bed and backed him. I felt so frustrated that I was having unprotected sex with him and all he could do was complain that I wasn’t moaning? If he needed to hear a moan maybe he could go on a porn site and have himself full of it. I tried to relax myself and calm my nerves. Nothing more mattered to me than his ejaculation. He exhaled and sighed before spreading my legs angrily. His hands fastened on my left leg as I felt him thrust. He continued and this t

Massimo’s POV. I was in front of the mirror, adjusting my tie as I tried to shake off the feeling of unease that had been lingering inside me. The atmosphere was tense, and I knew I was in for a rough ride soon. But I wasn't one to back down from a challenge. I took a deep breath and focused on getting ready for the day ahead.Just as I was finishing up, Marco walked into my room. His presence was a welcome distraction from the thoughts that had been plaguing me. "Hey, boss," he said, his voice casual. I nodded, and he continued, "I just talked to Anastasya. She's doing well."My interest piqued, I turned to him. "How's your relationship with her been?" I asked, genuinely curious. Marco's expression was neutral, but I could sense a hint of tension beneath the surface. "It's okay," he replied. I wasn't convinced. Marco's tone seemed off, and I couldn't help but wonder what was really going on between him and Anastasya. I nodded, trying to appear nonchalant, but my mind was racing wit

Massimo’s POV I stood on my balcony, sipping my tea and gazing out at the city below. The sun was setting, casting a warm orange glow over the buildings. I felt a sense of calm over me as I breathed in the evening air. Just as I was getting lost in thought, Rome walked and stood beside me."The flowers are ready," he said, his voice low and serious. I nodded, knowing exactly what he was talking about. Those flowers weren't ordinary flowers. They were a part of my business, a means I used to traffic drugs around the country. I didn't have a retail outlet, but a network of people who helped us move our product.I took one last sip of my tea and set the cup down. "I'll be downstairs with them in a minute," I told Rome. He nodded and turned to leave, but not before I caught a glimpse of a smile on his face.As he walked away, I muttered to myself, thinking about all the things I'd been through. The struggles, the fights, the losses. But I'd always come out on top.I built this busines

Massimo’s POV. My eyes scanned the surroundings, and they landed on Vanesa and Marco standing by the garage. My gaze locked onto Vanesa's, and I could see the mix of emotions on her face. But as I took in the scene. The bruise on Marco's cheekbone was a stark reminder of the incident that had taken place. I walked towards them, my strides long and purposeful. Vanesa's face lit up with joy, and she ran towards me, throwing her arms around me in a tight hug. "Massimo!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with emotion. I hugged her back, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. Marco approached us, and we shook hands, his eyes acknowledging the tension between us.As I held Vanesa, I glanced over her shoulder and saw my Ana standing at the door of the building, a smile spreading across her face. "Ana?" I said. My eyes never left my wife's. Vanesa chuckled and stepped aside, allowing my wife to run towards me. She jumped into my arms, and I caught her, spinning her around in a circle. Tear

Vanesa’s POV. I couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt and regret that had been weighing me down since I hit Marco. My pride was swollen, and I didn't want to swallow it. Being so arrogant was my thing though, and I felt maybe that day, it would have to come to an end. I walked around the premises, trying to clear my head, but my feet seemed to have a mind of their own. Before I knew it, I found myself standing in front of the garage, where I knew Marco often took a seat to reminisce.I spotted him sitting on a bench, a cigarette dangling from his fingers. I approached him quietly and my face twisted in a mixture of emotions. I couldn’t walk to him because I felt so guilty and couldn’t do anything at all. All that mattered as I stood behind him was asking for his forgiveness right away and letting down my ego. I was astonished as he asked, "What do you want?" without even turning around.I was taken aback, surprised that he hadn't noticed me standing there. I walked around to his s

Isabel's POVI walked into the room, Vanesa following closely behind. The Governor's visit still lingered in my mind, and I could sense Vanesa's anxiety. As soon as we were alone, I turned to her and realized she followed behind."Isabel, what was that all about? Why did the Governor think he'd get away with talking to you like that?" She asked, trying to keep my tone in check.I sighed, looking away. "I don't know, Vanesa, why would you be acting this way? You aren’t supposed to hold me accountable because I just saved us. Just chill, okay? There's nothing we can do about it right now."She frowned, not satisfied with my response. "Chill? You want me to chill? He's threatening our family, Isa. He's trying to manipulate Massimo, and you're just going to roll over?"I sighed, my eyes flashing with frustration. "I'm just saying, Nesa, we can't do anything right now. We have to wait and see how Massimo handles it."I studied her expression, trying to read between the lines. Was she scar
