The level of awkwardness during lunch with Uncle Carson was unbearable. He had a terrific sense of humour, and whenever we met, we would crack jokes about anything, but suddenly there were walls between us that neither of us could get over.

At least not yet.

After getting Sin’s approval for us to meet, I called him that morning, and we agreed to meet the next day at a restaurant for lunch. And like I promised Sin, I was sure to go with Mateo and two other men.

The silence pulsed between us. As the waitress noted down our order and left, I reached for the glass of water and took a sip. The clinking sound of the knives and forks did its business in the background.

Uncle Carson was the first to break the ice. "How have you been?"

"I’ve been good." I quipped, giving him a smile. His eyes searched my face for any hint of a lie, and he gave a small nod when he saw none.

"That’s good to know." He smiled, still studying my face.

"Wha...what about you? How have you been?" I stutter nervously,

    It's been days since I met Uncle Carson, and though it's been a bit awkward knowing our involvement with the Mafia, I know he's still worried and scared Stephanie might get tangled up as well.I wasn’t sure how I was going to tell him that it was already too late and that she was already tangled up in the matter since she was supposedly dating a man named Luca, which I was certain was the same Luca I knew.Sin was also back from his trip, though he didn’t give me much detail as to what happened. From what I could gather, it had something to do with the small group of gangster wannabes that had attacked us the night I got shot.Samantha had told me they were able to find the hideout of the gang leader due to the money put on his head. But from how pissed Sin was when he came back two days ago, it was clear that things didn’t go as planned.I was clad in a towel that was safely wrapped around my body. I had just finished showering and was about to get dressed. After towelling, I put on

    God! Sin must be rubbing off on me if I am happy to see another being treated like this, but a part of me kept on whispering that she deserved it. Who gave her the right to stake a claim on my man? When he turned to look at me, I didn't know what had come over me. I decided to be a vixen and walked teasingly slowly towards him, swaying my hips, which caught the attention of other men in the room, and Sin's eyes darkened with his jaw clenched.Luna still stood close to him, but she wasn't holding him anymore. I reached where they were; I stepped between the two of them, and my arms were placed on his hard chest. He wrapped his hands around my waist, looking at me amused. I pulled his head down to mine for a kiss on the lips. I pulled away with a smile on my face, which he reciprocated."Who the hell are you?" Luna asked, pissed."His Queen, and who are you?" I looked back innocently, my arms still on his chest."Then you must be really ignorant if you believe that." She said. "Sin does

    I went into the library in search of a book to read, and after selecting a romance fantasy novel, I took a seat at the far end of the library, close to the window with the marvellous view of the garden. I started reading, getting lost in the world of fantasy, until I was disturbed by a knock on the door and Zoey coming in.She looked around the library as if she were searching for something before she settled on me, and she walked towards me with a smile on her face. I smiled back at her with my eyebrows raised, wondering why she was here."Hey Mani." She greeted me."Hi, Zoey," I replied."It's been a while," she says again, taking a seat opposite me with her legs crossed."Yeah, it has.""I was planning on going out for groceries and other things; do you want to tag along?" she asked, staring directly into my eyes."I think I will pass; I'm just going to stay here and read." I told her, I wasn't really in the mood to go anywhere right now."Please, we will be back before you know it

    Mateo reached into his suit and pulled out a handgun, holding it at his side."Do not leave the car," he says sternly to Zoey and me. "Stay right here and put your head down." He opened the car door, I took heed of his words, and Zoey and I kept our heads down.I kept hearing the sound of gunshots being fired repeatedly. I slowly turned to the window side to peep at what was going on. There seems to be a set of men shooting at Sins men; there were more than twenty of them.I find my eyes wandering to where the bullet holes were at the front of the car seat. There were three holes: two at the front and one at the back. My whole body was stiff when I realized the direction of the bullet hole.This time, I was the target.I know being shot before should make me less terrified, but it didn’t. I was shaking in fear; they were so close. I could have died if not for the bullet that missed me by an inch. Who were these people?Could they be Sin's enemies, and they are trying to get to him by

    I was awakened again when I felt the cool breeze on my skin. I opened my eyes slowly, and the first thing that caught my eye was Sin. He looked forward, walking. His hands wrapped around me, and my head was on his chest. I shiver a little when the cool breeze brushes me, and my hand, in its own accord, immediately clutches his shirt, squeezing closer to his warmth.Sin looked down, a strain of hair falling down his face, his eyes staring at me, his pace slow, before looking back up and speeding forward.I craned my neck to the other side to see Luca walking in front with no sign of Mateo."Where are Mateo and Zoey?" I asked. Sin didn't bother replying, as he kept on walking. "Where are Mateo and Zoey, Nikolai?" I asked again; my voice was irritated."Luca is with Zoey, so go back to sleep, Amore," he said softly."And Mateo, what about him?" Is he okay? Did something bad happen to him when I slept off?" I asked, this time worried that something bad must have happened to him.Sin let o

    Sin's pov.The party had gone great despite the little hiccup we encountered, and I was able to show them who the new Donna of the Violenta mafia family was.Waking up with Mani in my arms was amazing, but then I had to leave even when I didn't want to because I had a situation to handle. I could only wait until after breakfast before stepping out.Getting into my car, I slammed my door shut, infuriated at leaving Mani alone, but I had to deal with a bunch of idiots who couldn't deal with a shipment alone. What the hell was I paying them for?"Give me details, Carlos, and it better be worth my time if you have to pull me out of my home." I growled at Carlos through my phone, which was connected to the car.When he called, he was interrupting my time with Mani. I knew she was about to say something serious. I know my men, and they know I hate being disturbed by irrelevant things. Despite their sometimes lacking competence, they have never dragged me into something useless. It was very

    Normani POV.I hope something like what happened last night never happens again. I know I had to get used to Sin's life, but the thought of getting killed was terrifying, especially since it was the second time I was being shot at.I didn't realize when I fell asleep while waiting for Sin to get back to the warehouse. I was woken by the sound of someone knocking at the door, but I still lay on the bed, staring directly at the door, not saying a word—not after what happened at the mansion.Sin specifically told me not to open the door if it was him or Lucia, which I plan on doing. I waited for a minute, and the knocking stopped. I let out a sigh. I took my phone out to check the time and saw it was six in the morning.I hope everything is alright and Sin isn't hurt. I thought of texting him but decided against it. My eyes shot shut, wanting to get some sleep, when I heard the sound of a knock at the door. I hurriedly stood and looked for something to defend myself in case it was someon

    The atmosphere of my room when I woke up was gloomy, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I was hunted by the memories of what happened a few days ago.I wore one of my black gowns with my black heel and packed my hair in a high bun to get the hair out of my face. I didn't use the mascara and eyeliner because I knew I was going to be doing a lot of crying today, so I just applied a little lip gloss, grabbed my purse that contained my phone, and walked out of my room.Sin was talking on his phone when I got to him, oblivious to my presence. His outfit matched mine, as he was dressed in a black suit and trousers, a black shirt, and a black tie, paired with a pair of black shoes that looked like they were just seeing the light of day for the first time ever.He was talking furiously, and from what I heard, it had to do with what happened at the mansion, but as soon as he turned and saw me, he smiled, and my heart melted at the sight of it."Make sure the securities are heightened.

    Samantha and AlexanderI was feeling devastated, and I couldn't help but blame myself for what had happened to Mani. If only I had not gone out this morning, if only I had kept to my routine and brought her meal up to her room like I usually did these past few days, then she wouldn’t have gotten kidnapped. especially not when she was pregnant.No..None of this would have happened if only I had given her the chance to explain when she first pleaded with me. Maybe then we would have figured out who was betraying us, and now we had to work faster at finding her before something bad happened.Sighing, I swing my legs, which were deep inside the pool water, while wiping the tears from my face. I couldn’t remember the last time I had cried this much. Was it those times when I struggled to stay alive as my father carried on with his assault, or the time he...Shaking the thought off my head, I try not to think about the past, knowing it would bring nothing but pain and nightmares."You have

    Athena And LorenzoI could be doing anything with the rest of my day, probably watching Netflix and chilling, if I was up for a bit of fun, I could always go clubbing. But that wasn’t the case tonight; instead, I was being prepped for a ball I wished not to attend.Only if there was a way to escape having to attend and watch those pretentious fuckers pretend to get along with each other."Do you really need me there?" I asked, letting out yet another sigh."Of course I do," Bella, my childhood best friend, responded, giving me a pleading look. "I can’t do this by myself; it's torture having to go there and pretend to care. I need you there, Athena.""Why don’t you just skip this year's ball? I’m sure your parents won't mind."Bella sighed exasperatedly. "I wish I could, but my dad is too stubborn to listen to reasons, he is running for a political position and wishes I would accompany him since my brother can’t attend this year. I'm really hating the fact that he had to go on a busine

"I believe you have had way too much for the night, don’t you think so?"I shook my head quickly, but stopped when it made me feel a bit dizzy."No...pe, another shot."I thought it was wonderful that he continued to display care, but after I patiently waited, he simply groaned and went to get my drink.In the end, his worry wasn't going to help me much.

    We had woken up ages ago, and did a little bit of morning exercise. If you get what I mean. Right now, we were sitting outside. Well, Sin was sitting on a chair with me on his lap. We were both enjoying the wonderful view of the ocean as well as the fill of the warm air against our skin. Sin kissed my shoulder, bringing my attention to him. He held my head, pulling me to his never ending kisses. I could never get tired of this. He pulled away, smirking at my red stained face."I wonder how the babies are, I miss them already." I say, resting my head on his shoulder."Don't worry about them, they are safe. I know my mom and your aunt will take good care of them. My mom adores her grandchildren a lot, same as your aunt." Sin runs my back softly."I know, but still" Tears formed around my eyes and I blinked a few times, trying to stop them from falling down."Amore, it's only for three weeks then you can see them again. We don't know when we will ever get the chance to spend time alone

    "I don't get why you refuse to tell me where we are going. I feel like we have been walking for hours. " i heard Sin chuckled softly, as he kept on leading me to heaven knows where. My eyes were blindfolded, making it hard to know where we were" patient amore. Besides, it's only been three minutes since we got out of the car. "I scoffed." Yeah, but I have been blindfolded throughout the ride.""so impatient, amore. Few more steps Mrs. Violenta."I grinned, liking the fact we were officially married.I squealed when I felt him lift me up bridal style, with the warm weather surrounding me. I felt giddy and couldn't wait for him to take off the blindfold.I felt my feet touch a wooden floor and the cloth wrapped around my eyes slowly coming loose. I gasp at the view of the beach in front, watching the waves move the water. Though it was dark, the moonlight shone on the water, enhancing it beauty and making it more enchanting.It was fucking gorgeous."Welcome to Maldives" Sin says, a s

    Today was the day of the wedding. I was finally getting married to Sin. It feels so surreal, like I can't believe it. I was a nervous wreck, and there was nothing I could do to ease my nerves. This was a happy occasion, but at the same time I felt scared. I couldn't wait to call him my husband, and that brought a smile to my face. Right now I was sitting on the bed with Aurelia in my hands, feeding her while I watched her silently. I had already fed Marcello and given him to Sin; he wanted Marcello to dress up with the men.It's been two months and three days since I gave birth to them, and I couldn't be happier looking down at my beautiful baby girl; her blue eyes sparkle just like mine. Her features were like Sin's; she had his long lashes and brows. I knew she was going to grow up into a beautiful girl. I noticed that she was done, so I stood up from the bed, trying to burp her before putting her down on the bed.The door opened, and Samantha, Stephanie, and Athena walked in. "It's
