THE MANIAC SON OF A MAFIA. 39. NOT A CHANCE AGAIN 2
"Can I speak with you?" Ashley asked Jonathan softly. He stared at her for a while and nodded. He sat on the couch opposite her and relaxed on it. "It's about Alex." Well, he knew that it was going to be about him anyway. "Hmm." "Is there something I am supposed to know about him? I tried speaking with him but he only ignored me. I don't know what else to do." "I feel guilty for causing a mess the other night but since that time, he just stays as far as he can from me. Do you perhaps know why? Maybe it's my imagination or..." Jonathan cleared his throat, "Ashley, I don't want to say much about this because it's Alex's issue. But what I can tell you is that, at this point, I don't even know what to say. You are still young and...I just don't know, Ashley. Whatever your parents tell you or perhaps your sister tells you to do, you should hearken to that. It's probably for your safety." He concluded. Jonathan didn't want to tell her to leave Alex when he kne

"Achoo!" Ashley sneezed as she stood in front of the mirror. She rubbed her nose and blinked her watery eyes before looking at herself in the mirror again. She was so tired and weak, she needed to rest but she knew that doing that was only going to make her condition worsen. She had stayed home for about three days since the night of *rejection* so she just wanted to go to school. She was missing a lot and she needed to make her papers to graduate. It's been three days since she last spoke to Alex or Jonathan. The memory from that night still haunted her and made her feel depressed. She just wanted to sleep perhaps wake up the next day only to find herself at the very beginning of the school's party. Maybe she would be able to change her luck by not bumping into him. Come to think of it, she had always been watching action movies, and scientific movies since she was young. In these movies, there was always something called the TIME MACHINE. Why didn't any exist in reality

"Dear diary, it's been a while since I got back to you. You must have felt unhappy too right? Haha, I guess I abandoned everyone during my moment of delusion. A lot has happened to me and it's quite surprising how a simple crush on someone could build something this huge - perhaps a hole that can't be patched in my heart. Why do I feel like he is pretending, DD? Why do I feel like he is pushing me away? I don't want to step into the Atlantic Ocean again but at the same time, I still don't want to leave. Our memories are precious and the harder." She stood up from her bed because she didn't feel comfortable writing it there. She pulled her chair backward and sat on it, placing her book on her desk. Then she continued pouring her heart into the book. "You know what? When I first saw him, he looked lonely and distant...not wanting to be helped so I was less concerned until that night when he actually saved me. Since that night, fate seemed to have brought us together yet he w

"So what's next now?" Ariana asked her husband as she folded their clothes. Brown was sitting on the balcony with his legs crossed and placed on the small table in front of him. There were multifarious newspapers as well even though he was holding an iPad. He looked at his wife who by now had stopped folding the clothes and was just leaning to the wardrobe to hear what her husband had to say. Brown sighed and smiled faintly. "I don't know what to do yet, Senorita. Sometimes the pressure is too much and since this order is coming from the upper hand themselves, it's hard for someone like me to want to let go of." He replied sincerely. Just a few days ago, Iris had come to gist him about the new work that would be given to all detectives in the city and also cops but since his boss was yet to confirm anything yet, he didn't press on the issue. However, Brown wasn't the type of person who would sit back and watch things unfold with or without his involvement so h

Ashley closed her locker and freaked out when she wasn't expecting someone to be behind it. Her face had turned into a horror one and she had to stop herself from screaming hard after that frightening experience. She looked at those around her with widened eyes and slowly comforted herself. There was this guy in front of her, Jordan by name. They were both classmates but not close enough to be friends because they rarely talked to each other. He was always in his circus of friends. He was also close to Daniel, Sammie's boyfriend. He was the same age as Ashley and had brown eyes with rough black hair. He was not that tall as Ashley was a few inches taller than him. Unlike Alex who had both a feminine-looking face and a bit of masculine features, Jordan was all masculine but good-looking. However, Ashley didn't take any interest in any guy. Alex was enough for her and until she meet someone more gorgeous than Alex, she wasn't going to move an inch. Although, it wasn't

She smiled warmly at the kids as they entered the house with their bag packs slung across their shoulders. "Hello, Aunt. Good day. We are fine thank you. How is the family?" Josh answered. "The family is great. Ashley!" She yelled. "What?" "Your friends are here!" Ariana then faced them, "You can go and meet her in her room." "Sure." Sammie smiled. As they climbed t

Thank you for reading.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You will send me the PDF, right?" Sammie pointed at Ashley as they descended the stairs. Ashley was rubbing the nape of her neck and so was Josh. Their eyes had grown weary as well because they have been studying nonstop for the last few hours. Even Jordan had to fall asleep in the middle of the teaching. Eventually, his mum called him home for something important so he left before anyone else. When they came downstairs, they found Jennie seated in a corner with her laptop in front of her. She was wearing a pair of glasses that Ashley didn't know i
Last Updated : 2023-06-20THE MANIAC SON OF A MAFIA. 46. A BULLET FOR HER.
It was finally the new week for everyone and things were fast approaching for the students yet the memories of their classes were something they wanted to treasure. Ashley was not in the mood to do anything at the moment other than speak to Jordan and was waiting for him to finish playing basketball ball. Her friends were out there trying to create something fun that they could all do as a form of farewell to their classmates but she was really not interested. When Jordan sighted her, he wanted to come and meet her but she stopped him and reassured him that all was fine - he could continue. She waited patiently until he was done and that was because she had something filling the space for her - her textbooks. She did enjoy a little of the applause and yelling the students gave to support their favorite team or better still their boyfriends. By the time Jordan finished playing basketball, he was all sweaty and excused himself to take a bath. "Yeah sure, no problem.

THE MANIAC SON OF A MAFIA. 82. THE END OF IT ALL.
Alex closed the door and looked around with a soft look. The breeze blew his hair gently and his eyes were squinted as well as if trying to figure out something due to its view. This was surprising even though he had expected something like this. It was already evening in H City and the atmosphere brought back memories. Unlike ten years ago when this place was so despicable and no one could come here because it was a gangster's home, it was now an abode to many people and life had become better now. Alex could see the cops dragging a teenager with tattoos all over his body down the road. The teenager was trying to escape but with so many cops, his energy was futile. Ashley watched him, carefully observing his facial expressions. She had brought him to H City without his knowledge but he seemed to be taking it quite well. "What are we doing here?" Alex finally landed his eyes on her as his two hands went straight into his pockets to prevent them from getting iced. Good enough
THE MANIAC SON OF A MAFIA. 81. A LITTLE TO THE END.
"What do you think I should do, huh? I don't know if I am reciprocating the feelings back to her?" Alex frowned as he discussed his problem with Jonathan. "But she doesn't seem to mind. She is totally in love with you." "That's not an excuse. I just need to know if I am doing well enough." Alex answered.Jonathan exchanged his leg position and sat down a bit comfortably to the right. "Well...to be truthful, you are far from doing well enough."It felt as if someone had thrown a glass into his mirror, shattering all. Well, he knew what the truth was but having someone affirm it was something he wasn't expecting to hold within. Jonathan could see the sadness wash through his face. His lips curled downwards as a result of his answer. "Okay...you know what? Listen to me. I don't want you to pressure yourself in this short journey that you two would be going on. Ashley totally understands you, this is what I can assure you of so you don't need to rush and you don't nee
THE MANIAC SON OF A MAFIA. 80. HEY.
"I am sorry." These were Alex's first words immediately after he healed up and could speak. Ashley smiled and hugged him gently so as not to cause him any harm. It was their moment and they were taking the most of it. Alex missed her scent, he missed holding her and it was great to have her back. Later on, she held his hand. "I know...I know you're sorry and so am I" "You are not mad at me anymore?" "Why would I? I have told you that I have no reason any more to stay mad at you." She answered. "Does this mean that you still love me?" Alex asked gently, his eyes boring into hers desperately expecting a positive answer. Ashley couldn't meet his gaze and just stared somewhere else, intentionally raising his hopes.When Alex couldn't see her approval, he became slightly disappointed...in himself. "Oh." He muttered. "I must have been thinking too much that you and I..."Ashley silenced him with a kiss and looked into his eyes. "I know we have been apart for

It's been three weeks since Ashley started coming over to Alex's place all thanks to Valerie. Jenny and her husband also were able to come once in a while. Ariana was not left out as well. Ashley felt more at peace and worked from home instead. She had no trouble with Rhae going anywhere because Jonathan told her that she was going to find absolutely nothing. It was funny how he said that and somehow, she was just glad that they were both on good terms now. Ashley smiled at herself in the mirror as she packed her hair up. She had a great feeling that things were going to be good again and now that this misunderstanding had been clear, she couldn't wait to see Alex's expression whenever he woke up. Would he be happy to see her? Their time together as teenagers wasn't that long but they had impacted each other deeply and it was taking a toll on them even after all these years. She cleaned herself up and walked out of the bathroom only to meet the biggest shock of her life. She almos
THE MANIAC SON OF A MAFIA. 78. DON'T YOU WANT TO?
A MONTH LATER,Ashley had just finished her therapy session with her female therapist. Her phone had been confiscated for a few days now because Ariana feared that things wouldn't improve but her phone was given back to her a day ago. She hadn't been to work as well.Ashley laid on the couch and crossed her legs against each other. She turned on the phone, only to meet a series of text messages inquiring about her health and how things were going. Sammie and Josh were also not excluded. Where they were was a bit far so it denied them the chance of visiting frequently like they would always do when they were still teenagers.So with the little amount of strength in her, she replied to all messages until she got to a particular one that caught her attention. She clicked on it so she could view the entire message. "Hey there, this is Valerie, Alex's sister. If you still want to speak with Alex and also to know where he is, contact me back." This message was sent just a MONTH ago as
THE MANIAC SON OF A MAFIA. 77. HE LOVED YOU!
Jonathan was already ushered in and was sitting down with the rest of the family but on the other side. His hands were clasped together with his head bowed. His right leg kept tapping against the ground as he prepared his mind to speak. He suddenly raised his head at once to speak, his eyes were on Ashley who he considered the oppressor. "Valerie told me what happened and I think you know what you have done so there is no need for me to start explaining. I hope your family is also aware this time. We don't need you to keep useless secrets that we would be blamed for again. Who do you think you are?" His tone started rising at the end of his sentence. "Tell me! Who do you think you are to do all this trash? How dare you approach my brother only to insult him and say trash to him, you b*tch...?"Ashley became angered and stood up fiercely. "How dare you call me a b*tch when you and that psycho brother of yours are the real d*ck, huh? Oh...so he ran out of the cafe and went
THE MANIAC SON OF A MAFIA. 76. FATAL ACCIDENT?
Ashley closed the door of the sitting room, looking soaked up and terrible at the same time. Her face was pale and at that point, even though it was deadly cold, it felt as if she was immune to the weather: 's circumstances. She leaned against the door and slid down to the ground which she sat upon, bawling her eyes out. Jenny who woke up due to the sound of the door being unlocked appeared with a knife and her husband behind her as well. She was scared that it was probably a thief or an attacker. Their minds didn't go through to the thought of it being Ashley because she would have called. But they were both stunned at the situation in front of them. "Ashley?" Jenny called in surprise and then looked at her husband. She gave him the knife and quickly approached her sister. When she got to her side, she knelt and touched her wet hair with a little bit of confusion. Her hands kept moving from one part of her body to another, purposely checking for any physical injuries while being
THE MANIAC SON OF A MAFIA. 75. WHY ARE YOU SUCH AN EVIL BEING?
"Are you sure it's not something that you need my help with?" Philip asked as he looked at the cafe and turned off the car's engine. This was the third time he had brought Ashley over to this place. Was she now obsessed with it that she wouldn't stop coming or there was just another reason for it? "No, thank you. I am fine. You can go home now. We will discuss it tomorrow." Ashley answered with a brief smile and came out of the car with her things. She stood to watch Philip leave first before proceeding.The latter quickly reversed and took the other route. The hand Ashley was waving vigorously halted and her smile was wiped off. She exhaled silently as her eyes ran across the surroundings. She turned to face the cafe.Yeah, she had been coming here for a while with the hope of having a proper conversation with Alex regarding her pending questions. She was so much curious and there was no way she would let this slide but her first attempt in speaking with him landed in failur
THE MANIAC SON OF A MAFIA. 74. THANK YOU.
"And this counts as the end of your story, Alyssa," Loius said and kisses his daughter's forehead. Jennie glanced back at them and smiled. She had also been listening to the father-daughter discussion while preparing Alyssa's things for school. Louis was a good reader and his voice was smooth which could make the listener not get tired of listening to him speak multiple times. That was the major score he used in winning her over finally. "Thank you, Daddy." Alyssa chuckled after Louis shook her head playfully. "Get to sleep. You don't want to go to school very late."Alyssa then closed her eyes and Louis stood up. He approached his wife and hugged her from the back. "You got a free concert." "I didn't know reading was now some form of concert." Jennie teased back and Louis bit her earlobe. "Ouch... Louis, stop it." "Should I?" Louis asked, proving to be stubborn. Before Jennie could answer, Alyssa did her the favor. "This is still my room." She mumble
