As Vincenzo's departure date approached, he still had this feeling of staying back but remembering Freya had wanted this too, he knew he had to go. If not for himself, but for her. Before leaving for the airport, he decided to see Freya and say goodbye to her, the girl who had stolen his heart. It was an emotional challenge he had to face. As he knocked softly on her door, he couldn't wait to see her face once again. It's more like seeing her face played a role in his life, like a renewed reconstruction has been made in his heart.Freya wheeled her chair to the door since Myra wasn't with her at the moment. She opened the door with a smile that could light up the darkest of rooms. Vincenzo's throat tightened with emotion, making it difficult to utter the words he so desperately wanted to say. But he composed himself and looked into her eyes, reassuring her that he would be back soon."I promise you, Freya," Vincenzo began, his voice sincere, "I will return as soon as possible. This
Just when Myra was about leaving Freya's room, she was shocked to see Kelly standing before the door, like she had some how knew Myra was going to open the door.Myra frowned. "You " She fused. "What are you doing here?" "Well, I just thought I should check up on her."Myra crossed her arms around her chest. "Thanks, but Freya is doing fine without you."Kelly rolled her eyes. "I didn't come here to argue or fight with you if that's actually what you want. I came for Freya, so please, get out of my way.""I'm not letting you in." Myra insisted."Who the fuck are you to tell me what to do and where to go. Besides, you're nothing but a maid." Her words hurt Myra so deep in the heart that the frown in her face grew deeper.Kelly laughed at her facial expression. "Oh, didn't expect you would let your ego down for a little word. You know what, if you don't wanna get more hurt than you already are, then do yourself a favor by getting out of my way." She ignored Myra even as she stood there
A maid rushed in with the first aid kit. Quickly, she opened it and Myra began to treat her wounds. Freya hissed at the touch of each substance on her face."It's gonna hurt but you've got to endure." Freya said softly."Myra," Freya called."Mm-hmm." "I wanna go home."Myra paused for a while, but then continued treating her bruises. "Why would you want to go?" She asked."I'm tired of her, I just want to live my life without her stepping in.""What about Mr Vincenzo, what do you think about his feelings when he finds out you are gone.""I'm leaving this mansion doesn't mean I'm leaving his life. I know Vincenzo, he's gonna come back for me."Myra saw reasons to her words, she nodded her head. "I'll talk to the driver after this. You really need some space and a free life too.""Oh please, don't preach to me like today is the end of the world. You're coming with me. I can't stay alone there, and two, it's not like you do want to stay here either?"Myra chuckled. "I was waiting for y
It was the day Vincenzo was to return. Freya has been excited since the previous night, knowing fully well he would call to ask of her when he realizes she isn't in his home. She had even lost the appetite to eat, all her mind and attention was on Vincenzo. She was so desperate to look at his face once again, to watch him smile at her and have a taste of his lips in hers. Oh, what a dream of expectations.****Vincenzo returned from his trip, standing at the doorstep of his private plane, sniffing in the welcoming air. He walked towards the black car where his driver awaited, opening the door for him. Upon reaching home, he was happy to see Freya again after three days of absence.However, as he entered the house, he sensed a strange aura and noticed how quiet it was, unlike usual. When he tried to go to Freya's room, he found the door locked, which left him frowning. Heading to his room, he encountered Kelly busy with her phone. He asked her about Freya, but she snubbed him and con
Vincenzo stormed into his home, his emotions boiling over, his face held nothing but anger. Just as he entered, he unexpectedly encountered Kelly, who seemed to be on her way some where. The tense atmosphere was palpable, and the sight of his furious expression scared her to the bones, causing her to retreat backwardly into the safety of the mansion, trying to avoid any potential confrontation since the look on his face wasn't bearable and she had never seen him in such an appearance.However, Kelly couldn't let the situation go without understanding why Vincenzo was so furious. She mustered up the courage to ask him what the problem was, hoping for some explanation."What's wrong, Enzo? Why the look on your face?" But before she could receive any clarity, Vincenzo grabbed her wrist firmly, his voice harsh as he accused her of being a liar. "You... Liar! I knew I shouldn't trust your words a bit, every thing you say all turns out to be lies. I wish I had seen it from the start, I wo
It never pained Vincenzo to have walked Kelly out of his home, it was more like a dream come true. With a newfound happiness, he went to Freya's apartment to welcome her to his home.Upon reaching her apartment, he got a phone call from his father. He was contemplating whether or not to reply to his call and not to interrupt his moment with his girlfriend.But on a second thought, he decided to pick the call to know why he was calling him. "Hello?""Hello, Enzo. I've been wanting to reach you for a long time now." Said his father from the other side of the phone."What's the problem this time?" He asked, hoping every thing was alright."We found the man who killed your mother." His father said.Vincenzo's heart skipped a thousand beats on hearing that. It's been years since he's sworn to kill the suspect behind the death of his mother. The police had investigated and made them believe it was a normal accident that had led to her coma, and possibly to her death.But he knew that there
Freya sat on her bed, tears streaming down her cheeks as Myra rushed into the room, concern etched on her face. "Freya, why are you crying?" Myra asked, kneeling beside her.Between sobs, Freya managed to say, "It's Enzo... he's not coming back home." She hiccuped and wiped her tears, trying to regain composure.Myra's heart sank at the words, but she tried to reassure Freya, "Don't worry, he'll be back. Enzo is a strong man, and he always finds a way."Freya shook her head, her voice trembling, "No, Myra, it's different this time. I just spoke to him a few minutes ago, and he sounded so distant, as if he knew... as if he knew he was going to die tonight."Myra was left speechless, her mind racing with worry for her dear friend and the man she had come to trust as a powerful Mafia Lord. Despite his strength, she knew the dangers of his world.With a heavy heart, Myra hugged Freya into her arms, hugging her so tight, trying to offer some comfort in the face of their uncertainty. "We ca
Vincenzo walked into the clubhouse house alone. He didn't want to pull attention, he was just going to confront Mr Blake and get to know why he had killed his mother.So, he set into the noisy building while his men stayed back in the cars, waiting for his orders. One of his spies whispered in his ear that Mr Blake was having a meeting with his friends who are also Mafia Lords.His spy directed him to the room where Mr Blake was, "I'll take it from here." He said and the soy nodded his head before leaving.He knocked on the door. The first two times, there came no response from the inside. When he was about to offer the third knock, some one opened the door. He gazed at him from head to toe, "Who are you? How may we help you?" Asked the gentleman at the door."I'm looking for Blake Shelton." Vincenzo simply said."What's your business with him?""My business with him is none of your business. Let me in if he is in there.""Well, I'm sorry, Mr Blake isn't available at the moment. And s
Freya had been up since 3 am, tiredness heavy in her eyes as she attempted to soothe her crying twins. No matter what she tried, it seemed impossible to lure them back to sleep. She had already breastfed them, changed their diapers, and rocked them for what felt like hours. Yet, the unfading cries continued. It had been nearly a week of sleepless nights, and her patience was wearing thin. She was bothered their cries would wake the neighbors, or cause the maids and servants from sleeping.The clock on the wall taunted her as the minutes dragged on. The twins, Vicente and Olsen, were only a few months old, and Freya's motherly instincts were struggling to keep up with their demands. She whispered soothing words to them, tears of tiredness welling up in her eyes. She was sleep-deprived and emotionally drained, and it felt like there was no end in sight.Thankfully, Vincenzo had always been a rock of support through these trying times. He woke up with her every night, offering a shoul
"Vincenzo?" "Hey baby, how are you feeling?” Vincenzo asked.Freya sits next to Vincenzo, while holding her big tummy. He is rubbing Vincenzo's back, because he knows his back pain is killing him but still refuses to stay at home. "Can't sleep baby? Are you alright?” Vincenzo asked, worrying because Freya's face shows pain. "I don’t know but my tummy is hard rock. Feel it....bmammm...” Freya is holding a grunt. Vincenzo placed her hand on the baby tummy as Freya said. It is hard rock and it's not normal. Vincenzo is watching her sternly, aware of the situation, and he's getting ready to jump on any situation. "Get me a wheelchair now!” Vincenzo said to Myra through the intercom. After a few seconds, she barged right in with the requested chair. Damon signaled Myra to help him to pick up Freya on the chair. They rushed him to the hospital. —"Mr. Ferdinando, please follow me.’ A nurse came out, asking him to follow her. Vincenzo just did as told and soon he found himself in
Freya walked down the aisle like a stately queen, arm in arm with Pablo. Her hair was arranged into an elaborate style on top of her head, and her pink ballroom dress swished almost silently on the carpet aisle. It was a glorious day for a wedding. The trees were a perfect green and sparkled with leftover dew from that morning. A perfect June day. A song ran through her mind, making her smile. For they say when you’re married in June, you will always, always, always be a bride! She watched the young bride sprinkling the last pink rose petals on the aisle, then sitting down. She then looked at her bridesmaids dressed in flowing, scarlet, knee-length dresses. They were all there smiling… Her eyes met with Myra, who was putting on the brightest smile. She was her chief bridesmaid. “Congratulations.” She mouthed.“Thank you.” Freya mouthed back, her cheeks burning with a smile.The priest then started with the matrimonial vows as she stood face to face with Vincenzo, he was appearin
"Congratulations, Miss Bred, you're two weeks pregnant."The words kept resounding in her head. Happiness filled her inside, she couldn't wait until Vincenzo returned. She had wanted to phone him to tell him the good news, but then she wanted it to be an official announcement.When she returned home, she asked for Myra who was pretty busy in the laundry room. However, she sent a maid to call her."Tell her to meet me in my room." I said,Just as she walked into her room, changing her clothes, Myra offered a knock on the door."Please, come in." She permitted.Myra entered. "You sent for me." She said, "Yes, please. I have something interesting to show you. You'll love it, trust me."Myra was already curious to know what this interesting thing would be. "Okay. I'm waiting."Freya took her bag from where she had kept it, she opened it and brought out the white folded paper, handing it to Myra who at first, gave her a curious look."I hope I am safe?""Of course, you are." Freya smiled.
Freya had woken up earlier than usual. She was ready for the day's training. She looked at Vincenzo who was still asleep on the bed, his back facing her.For the first time, she took her time to admire the Lion tattoo on his back, they were fucking beautiful.After a long while of admiration, she went to the bathroom for a shower. Before she was out, Vincenzo was up. He looked at her, his eyes halfway open from sleep."Where are you going?" He asked, yawning."Do I have to remind you where I am going?" She asked back as she pulled her trouser up to her waist."Oh." His eyes closed. "I'll talk to the driver to take you to the warehouse then.""You seem tired, how was work yesterday?" She asked, her hands hung on her waist."Just the usual. I'll be fine." He assured her.She was done dressing, now ready to go. "I'll give you a call when I reach the warehouse." He nodded his head. "Just take your time and relax, you can skip work today.""I have an important meeting with a colleague, I c
"I might not make it here on time, so I'll talk to Stephen to take you home after the training. But just in case I make it on time, I'll pick you up myself.""Okay. Just take your time and do whatever you want to do. I'll be fine.""You be a good girl, okay? Pay attention, I know it's gonna seem a bit difficult but trust me, you'll live it when you learn it.""I know. Thanks for accepting me as a part of your group, I will make you proud. I promise." She promised."Take care of yourself.""You too." They shared a kiss before she left, waving goodbye at him. He did the same before zooming off for work.When Freya arrived at the business warehouse, her heart pounded in excitement. It feels more like a dream come true, a moment she's been waiting for a long time ago. She knew that this training session would be different, more intense and probably be the best she'd ever had. Since Vincenzo has promised to introduce her to the world of firearms, a skill she knew she needed to master to s
They drove to the warehouse, and Freya couldn't wait any longer to see what the Mafia warehouse looked like.She walked beside Vincenzo as they walked into the warehouse and he was holding her hands like he was scared she'd lost. The guards which guarded the entrance bowed their heads as they walked passed.When they got in, Freya's eyes glared around as she admired the inside with the numerous people in it. Some were busy counting monies, some were carrying wrapped goods in both sacks and cartons."What's in that thing they are carrying?" Curious, she asked, eager to know.He smiled, and he was taking time to reply. "What do you think?" He asked back."I don't know." She shrugged. "That's why I'm asking.""That's cocaine." He finally said. "We sell them for more income.""That's where the dollars come from?" She asked, referring to those men that were counting money. "Yeah. That's why I told you, there are lots of dirty things in this game, I don't wanna stain your innocence.""Who
"So, are you gonna tell me what you discussed with your dad?" Freya asked, her head resting on Vincenzo's chest."Well," he started, rubbing her hair gently, his eyes staring up at the ceiling. "It didn't go well, I'd say. But at least, it doesn't matter."Freya pulled away to look at his face, her eyebrow raised as she stared at him. With a questioning look on her face, Vincenzo knew she did want an answer to her question."Okay, fine. I'll tell you." He agreed and she leaned her head back on his chest, waiting to hear what he's got to say. "He didn't want us to get married, he feels you don't deserve to join the Ferdinando family."Freya felt a feeling of rejection as he said that. A tear rolled from the corner of her eyes, but she held it back from falling. "Freya?" He called, he wanted to be sure she was listening. "Are you listening?""Yeah. Sure, I am. I heard what you said." She did her best not to sound sour even though that's what she feels at the moment."Are you alright?"
"Vincenzo..." She was about to speak when he places his first finger on her lips.“Shhhh.” he whipped off his shirt, leaving just his singlet on, then walked to Freya. Reaching out, he put his other hand on Freya's knee. He leaned in, kissing her on the face, mouth, and neck, slowly making his way down her already trembling body. His hand climbed up the side of Freya's leg, until his fingers rested at the top of her panties. Then they slowly started fumbling down her thighs. Freya closed her eyes and leaned her head back. Every inch that Vincenzo went down made Freya's heart chump a little harder. Vincenzo's hands had succeeded in pulling off her panties. Freya let Rufus's lyrics wash over her mind. The song had never made more sense to her. If the world were coming to an apocalyptic, catadysmic end, this is exactly where she'd want to be: with Vincenzo. She opened her eyes and found him looking down at her. She knew the question being asked. Was she ready? Did he want Vincenzo to
