Luna’s POVI was stood staring at myself in the mirror of the ladies room, what the fuck just happened I thought to myself. My hands were trembling, I swore to myself I would never let another man put his hands on me again and there I was with some asshole holding onto me like I was a piece of meat, the same asshole I met a short time earlier in the elevator.I can’t believe I did nothing I should have punched him right in his face, instead I ran off.Mr Callaso, why did he help me? I thought to myself although I was actually grateful for his help. My mind wondered to that accent of his, He wasn’t from the UK, he had an American accent, New York if I’m not mistaken but his name sounds Italian or Greek, his voice was so deep it sent shivers down my spine.“Luna” I was snapped out of my thoughts by Carrie, she looked worried. Shit I completely forgot about Carrie and ran off leaving her with the friend of Mr Callaso.“Are you ok?” she asked with concern in her voice as she ran over to
Luna’s POV“I’m glad to see you’re ok”.That voice, something about it gives me butterflies, I turned to my right and there he was stood beside me, towering over me and staring me right in the eyes. I’m almost certain time stood still for a moment.“I’m fine” I said, breaking the silence between us. Just at that moment I noticed Kate walking passed furiously heading back into Olive’s, I also didn’t miss the dirty look she thew my way as she walked by and I know Roman noticed it too.How can he just stand here talking to me while his wife is clearly upset with him. seriously she may be as bad as Jenny makes out but she doesn’t deserve to be treated this way, especially not by her own husband.“shouldn’t you go after her?” I asked Roman. His brows creased and he looked surprised by my question.“No, she’s fine” he replied with no remorse.How on earth could he be so cruel, she was clearly upset with him and rightly so. He had a beautiful wife and he was treating her like she meant not
Luna’s POVI was woken by my 6.30am alarm. I rolled over to the bedside table, grabbed my phone and noticed I didn’t have any messages or calls off Carrie. I hope she’s ok. I messaged her when I got back to my room last night and told her to enjoy her night and not to worry about me before putting my phone on silent.I’ll check up on her on my way to my meeting I thought.I dragged myself out of bed and headed straight towards the kettle, I desperately needed my morning coffee.I rummaged through my wardrobe to find an appropriate outfit for today’s meeting.When I got in last night I couldn’t think straight, my encounter with Roman was playing on my mind so I decided to go through my suitcase and hang all my clothes in the wardrobe. It didn’t really work he was on my mind all night long, it’s fair to say I didn’t get a good night sleep either.I pulled out my grey tailored trouser suit with a white camisole top, pairing it with a some black stilettoes. This will work, it screams prof
I stood outside of the hotel entrance, looking at my watch it was only 9.10am. My meeting was in a small restaurant situated 5 Minutes from the hotel, if I leave now and get there too early I may look overly eager I thought to myself.“Let me walk you to your meeting” I heard Roman’s voice as he walked up behind me. He was stood close enough for me to feel his warmth, almost touching.I didn’t turn to look at him, if anything I felt completely embarrassed about the way I spoke to him and Jenny. I can’t believe he let me speak to him that way and didn’t bother to tell me Kate was his ex-wife. He let me believe he was still married all this time.“No, my meeting isn’t for another 50 minutes. I just need some fresh air, you should go back inside” I said hoping he would walk away and save me from further embarrassment.“Then let me take you for breakfast, there’s a small café around the corner. You should eat something before your meeting”.I was about to decline his offer until he unexpe
Roman’s POVLuna’s hand combed through my hair, her touch made me crazy with lust.I couldn’t control myself around this goddess, she was something else.I remembered the conversation I had with Carrie last night after I left Luna. Carrie told me just about everything I needed to know including Luna’s recent relationship with that asshole Ethan. I wanted to find him and rip his throat out.There was nothing more I wanted in this moment, other than to see Luna lying naked on my bed while I caress her whole body with my tongue. I knew after everything she has been through, the last thing I wanted was to push her into something she didn’t want to do.I couldn’t resist bringing her to my suite, just the thought of spending the whole day and night with her makes me feel like the happiest man alive right now. I don’t know why she has me feeling this way but I can’t deny how much I enjoy it.I held her face in my hands and leaned in for another kiss. I could feel my member harden as she deep
Luna’s POVRoman and I spent the afternoon together in my room. We spoke about many things over lunch, including family, work and interests. I never went into detail about my relationship with Ethan as that part of my life is in the past now and I would prefer to keep it that way. I did explain that I had just came out of a relationship and was concentrating on myself. I just hope Carrie didn’t mention it to Roman last night when they spoke.Roman spoke fondly of his family. He spoke about his childhood and his relationship with his sister, Jenny and his cousins Santos and Vincenzo. Vincenzo is Santos’ brother, the four of them are extremely close. Roman told me I would meet Vincenzo tonight.I was woken by someone calling my name “Luna, Luna.. it’s time to wake up moon”.I opened my eyes to see Roman lying beside me, resting on his elbow and stroking my hair behind my ear. He gave me the sweetest smile and kissed my head.“It’s 4.30, we should get ready. Our car arrives at 6 to take
Sebastian’s POVI was pacing the floor of the hotel balcony, fury burning through my veins. I had just got off the phone with Joe, a business associate of mine.“Did you know? Did you know Romano was meeting with Stefan?” I asked my wife, Gabriella.“Of course not, he mentioned a potential client in London. That is all” she replied.“How could he be so foolish? Stefan and Joe have been enemies for as long as I can remember. Romano is aware of this.” I said with so much anger in my tone.Gabriella stood and walked towards me, placing her hand on my shoulder. She is my soul mate, the only one who could ever calm me in situations like this.“This deal Romano is making with Stefan is nothing to do with our business. It will not affect Joe nor will they ever cross each other’s paths” she said.“That may be true but we both know how stubborn Joe is and he will pull this shipment deal if Romano continues to do business with Stefan. These shipments are priority, I cannot afford to lose this d
Luna’s POVI had been speaking with Jenny for thirty minutes or so. We moved from the topic of Roman and his cousin and began talking about Jenny and Lucas. I hadn’t realised they were together. Apparently it’s been a whole year but they are taking things slow, they’ve been best friends since a young age and don’t want to ruin that.I felt a hand slide around my waist and the warmth of a breath against my neck. I leaned into the touch and closed my eyes as Roman kissed my neck.“I have to go deal with some business, will you be OK with Jenny until I get back? I promise I won’t be long” he ensured me.“She will be fine, we’re having a nice girly chat anyway” Jenny answered for me.I laughed “I’ll be fine, you go”.He kissed my cheek and headed off through the crowd with Lucas. Jenny and I headed to the back of the castle, continuing until we were outside. The scenery was stunning. There was a golden archway ahead of us leading to a huge fountain. The grounds were enormous and the lawn
Roman’s POVThe limo came to a stop outside my parents restaurant, I must admit it looked the place to be with the soft outdoor LED lighting, red carpet and polished steel rope barriers. I made sure security was tight with a number of my men keeping watch and another two working the doors, I couldn’t take any chances after what happened earlier today. My men noticed my arrival immediately, one of them approaching the vehicle to open the door. I stepped out giving a nod of courtesy to my security team, Santos stepping out after me. I decided we should all travel together to the restaurant, I didn’t want Luna to feel afraid or uncomfortable after the day she’s had so travelling with her best friend was the only option.I held out my hand, helping Sadie from the car while Santos held his hand for Carrie. I held my hand out once more, waiting for Luna to take a hold of it, I guess she was still pissed at me. She avoided my hand, simply stepping from the car and walking passed me as if I w
Ricky’s POVI’ve been at my hideout for days now, Kate is moping around getting on my last nerve. The only time I can bare to be around her is when I need my release, I thought I needed her to get everything I wanted, turns out she is beginning to get in my way.When Kate told me about Roman’s woman Luna, I thought I found the perfect opportunity to trap Roman, I would have my chance to kill him. His father would have been left vulnerable, giving me the chance to take down the whole Callaso family and leaving me with only Marco to take out. I would have taken over the whole of New York, became the biggest mafia lord ever known to the City.My plan came crashing down with a bang because of Roman’s men. I had a guy back in England, an old friend. If I made it worth his while he would cooperate with me, bringing me that bitch Luna, I agreed for him to take on another guy to help him, everything was going well, until Roman’s men showed up and killed my guy. Now I’m back to where I started
Luna’s POVWe arrived at Barnes and Noble book store almost thirty minutes ago, this place was bustling. Sadie took a seat beside me while Roman stood behind watching as smalls crowds gathered. I must admit, the publishing company had done a fantastic job of advertising the book signing. Even though it wasn’t originally meant for me, the crowds took the opportunity to approach me and speak about my book. I had the pleasure of signing numerous books which to my surprise many people had purchased.I must admit, at times I felt many people were here to greet Roman, so many people were approaching him and shaking his hand as if he were a celebrity in this city. I hadn’t doubted that he was a well known respected man but I did feel the crowds were here more for Romans sake than for my own. I wasn’t complaining though, he appeared to be drawing more of a crowd throughout the day and convincing them to buy my book. I was thankful for his presence in this moment.Carrie arrived at the booksto
Roman’s POVI woke to find myself cuddling into Luna, her back facing me, my arm wrapped around her waist with her head resting on my other arm. I tightened my hold around her waist and pressed my nose into her neck, taking in her beautiful scent. A moan escaped her lips, her hand travelled along my arm which was holding her tightly. Suddenly she woke, turning her head to face me. She quickly removed her hand from my arm, appearing shocked that I was laid beside her.“I’m sorry” I said in a low voice. I was about to remove my arm from her waist when she stopped me, grabbing hold of my arm she pulled it back to where it was and turned her head to lay back down. I couldn’t help but smile knowing she wanted me to hold her, to stay with her.Once again I took in her beautiful scent but I couldn’t stop there, I needed more.I placed a gentle kiss on her neck, another on her shoulder. A gasp left her mouth, her breathing becoming heavier.“My moon” I said quietly“Roman” her voice was barely
Luna’s POVI couldn’t help but stare as Roman walked by, not even taking a glance at me. Did he not care that I was stood right here with Vincenzo? I guess a part of me wanted Roman to be jealous, I wanted to see he still cared.Vincenzo pulled me from my thoughts when he took my hand, gently pulling me to follow him.“Where are we going” I asked as he began walking towards the far end of the garden“I want to show you something” He replied, smiling down at meThe garden was huge, it appeared to go on forever. We finally stopped in front of a huge cherry blossom tree, beside it was a white French style bench containing a plaque.I let go of Vincenzo’s hand and walked towards the bench ‘In loving memory of a dear mother, Cheryl Callaso’“Cheryl was my mother, her family and friends called her Cherry. Santos and I had the same bench hand crafted, I also have a similar tree buried in my garden. Her ashes are buried within the roots of the trees, when they bloom we feel her presence. We o
Luna’s POVThe guest room in this place was incredible, I’m certain it’s at least 3 times bigger than my bedroom back at home. The room was filled with colours of cream and gold, a bed big enough to fit a whole family of five. Carrie and Sadie had left me around ten minutes ago to prepare a light lunch, Carrie knew my appetite had been a little restricted lately due to me feeling ill, if only she knew the real reason.I walked towards the window and opened the doors which led to a small but beautiful terrace overlooking the huge swimming pool. The guest room was directly above the main lounge area which would explain why I could hear voices coming from that direction, the voices of Roman and Santos.I’m not sure if they were aware that I could hear them from up here, turns out I could hear every word, a door or window from the main lounge must be open.“Why don’t you go speak to her now, get it out the way. What’s the worst that could happen.” Santos spoke.“No…I need to give her time
Luna’s POVI barely slept a wink last night, each time I closed my eyes I could see someone about to kidnap me. I woke this morning feeling completely drained.My nerves began taking over my body, thoughts taking over my brain. How would I react to seeing Roman again, a part of me wanted to see him while another part of me wanted to forget he ever existed. I guess that’s a little hard to do now that I’m carrying his child. OMG I am carrying Roman’s child, I am pregnant!I placed my hands on my head in frustration, what do I do now? Do I tell him about the baby, does he even deserve a chance to be a father to our child or would he run away once again.“Are you ready sweetheart” My father called, pulling me from my thoughts.“I’m ready dad”My parents gave me a ride to the airport, my mum was excited for my trip to New York. She kept telling me to take plenty of photos, my dad advised me on what sights to visit, they loved the big apple, the two of them have visited New York a couple of
Luna’s POVI’d been at my parents house for almost a week I was due to fly out to New York tomorrow, my book signing had been pushed forward by the publishing firm so I decided to head into town to get a few essentials.There was traffic in every direction, it was no surprise, Friday’s are mayhem with everyone finishing work for the weekend although I still couldn’t shake the feeling I was being followed.I’d managed to get everything I needed from town and headed back to my car. I had parked in an underground car park, it was quiet with not many cars around, that’s why I liked this spot, it was easy enough to get parked.I popped open the boot of the car and placed my bags down, after closing the boot I suddenly felt a presence behind me. I spun round and was met with a man wearing a balaclava, holding a gun to my head. he grabbed my arm and began to pull me in his direction.“Please stop” I pleaded“Shut the fuck up and do as your told or I’ll shoot you right now” he replied in an A
Roman’s POV “Okay, I want to know where she’s going and who she is with. Keep me updated” I ended the call to Antonio, he’s one of two men I have watching Luna. He called to update me on Luna’s visit from the police and explained not long after she was packing her car, leaving the home she shared with Carrie. I have no idea where she is going but I’ll make damn sure she is safe. I decide to go home and rest before my meeting with Marco tonight. Before Antonio called, Marco rang to inform me of a possible breakthrough regarding his father’s murder. He has some information on a possible connection to Ricky, he didn’t give any further information other than a time and place for our meeting. Hopefully we can figure out who Ricky is working with, catch that bastard then end this shit once and for all. I ring Santos and tell him to meet me at a spot called Luciano’s at midnight. It’s a small restaurant owned by Marco’s sister. I know Santos will be tired after travelling all day and wo
