The Calm To His Storm Chapter One
Luna’s POV Walking to my car I sighed looking at my watch, realising once again I’ve worked over my hours due to being short staffed. Why did I think it was a good idea to become a nurse. 29 year old Luna has always had a caring nature and found helping people gave her satisfaction, however lately she has become tired and lost all her passion for being a nurse. Her social life is non-existent, her days are filled with working and her relationship with her partner Ethan, well toxic would be the perfect word for that. Driving home I knew what would be instore for me once I walk through the door, I parked up in the driveway which was always well lit. My home was not the biggest on the street but it was elegant with a beautiful lawn and well-presented rose bushes set out bordering the lawn, Roses have always been my favourite flowers. I grabbed my bag from the passenger seat and got out of the car, I quietly unlocked the door silently praying Ethan was asleep. The house was in darkn
The Calm To His Storm Chapter Two
Luna’s POV It’s been seven weeks since I finally plucked up the courage to leave, seven weeks after the horrifying attack I faced at the hands of that monster. I can’t even bring myself to say his name, everything about him makes my skin crawl. Seven weeks ago I was subjected to the most brutal attack which left me traumatised, waking up every night due to constant nightmares and reminders of what I had faced that night, yet somehow that same night I saw the light. After the monster finished with me, he went straight to bed and slept like a baby as if nothing had happened. While he slept I forced myself up, grabbed my car keys and left with no hesitation. Of course I was a mess, my face was bruised and swollen, I was covered in blood and the most intimate part of me had been completely violated which left me struggling to walk while causing me pain. Unfortunately due to me moving over 200 miles from home when I got my nursing degree, I don’t have many people I can turn to for help.
The Calm To His Storm Chapter Three
Luna’s POV “Hey, why don’t we go shopping today? we can go into the travel agents and look for a holiday, call it a celebration for getting your book published” Carrie spoke with so much enthusiasm, she has been trying her best to cheer me up over these past seven weeks. I began writing a year ago, it’s always been my true passion although I never shared this with anyone other than Carrie, she was the only one who knew about my writing and the one who sent my novel out for publishing without my knowledge so I guess I have her to thank for my publishing offer. This morning I received an email from a publishing company who agreed to publish my novel. I have to go to London this weekend for a meeting with the publisher, I’m not sure how everything happens but I’m sure they will explain it to me when I get there. “Carrie, I cannot afford a holiday, I’ve quit my job and I’ve got this London trip to think about, if I decide to go I will need to save my money” I told Carrie. “what do yo
The Calm To His Storm Chapter Four
Luna’s POVI was woken by my 5am morning alarm, it was Friday morning and we had decided to drive to London rather than get the train. As the drive was six hours long we decided that I would drive for the first three hours and Carrie would drive for the rest.I slowly dragged myself out of bed and searched through my belongings for something comfy to wear, I decided to settle with a pair of black leggings a black vest top and a nude oversized shirt, it was the kind of outfit you could dress up with a pair of heels or dress down with a pair of boots, obviously I chose the latter due to travelling all day. The hotel we were staying in was five star, I wanted to look at least somewhat presentable, Carrie on the other hand always went to the extreme. When she found out we were staying in a five star hotel she went and bought a whole new outfit just for our arrival, High wasted jeans a white shirt and blazer and a pair of high heeled stilettos, however, she did decide to drive in her train
The Calm To His Storm Chapter Five
Romano’s POV“So what’s our next move” Santos asked.“Arrange a meeting for tonight, they can come to us. If they want this deal to go ahead they need to accept our offer” I replied.Santos is my cousin, although he’s more like my brother, we’ve been through so much together and I trust him with my life. This is why I have him running most of my business, he deals with the clients and all the gritty stuff that goes with it, of course I oversee everything to make sure it’s exactly how it should be but most of the time I trust Santos enough to deal with it.Santos is speaking on the phone with the client while I stand in-front of the floor length window, the view from the hotel is spectacular, even better from the penthouse.I’m deep in thought, I can’t get that woman out of my head, who is she, I need to know. Just those few minutes of watching her in the lobby had me mesmerized, when her eyes met mine I was completely hooked. It’s strange I’ve never looked at a woman and been so taken
The Calm To His Storm Chapter Six
Luna’s POVI woke from my sleep by the banging on my hotel door, I took a look at my phone and see it is 7.10pm, “SHIT” I say as I jump off the bed. I’m meant to be ready for 7.00pm, Carrie had booked us a table in the restaurant downstairs. I scurry to the door as I wipe the sleep from my eyes, I open it to find Carrie looking as stunning as ever. This girl never fails to amaze me, she always looks so glamourous.“What the hell are you doing, our table is booked for 7pm and you’re not even ready” she says looking annoyed.“I laid down for 5 minutes, I must have fell asleep, the next thing I know is it’s 7.10, I’m sorry I’ll quickly get ready now” I say.“Ok but be quick, I’ll go down to the table and get the drinks in while you get ready, don’t be long” she replied as she walked out of the room.I quickly showered and returned to the bedroom pulling all my clothes from my suitcase, I hadn’t even unpacked yet. I decided to go with a black strapless jumpsuit with slightly flared legs
The Calm To His Storm Chapter Seven
Romano’s POVThank fuck this meeting is over, Santos and I stood from our seats with everyone else following suit. We shook hands with the three men, telling Stefan I’d call him next week to arrange a start date, before he turned to leave. Just then I noticed Luna walking this way, she looked incredible.“Roman, sit back down we need to celebrate” I heard Kate say.I looked at everyone who had already taken their seats once again. I could see them looking from me to Luna, I knew they had seen me staring at her but I didn't care. Kate however had a face like thunder, what the hell was her problem.Just as Luna got close to where I was seated she was suddenly pulled back, some asshole with a scar down his face had grabbed her arm and pulled her close to him. I could see Luna trying to pull away from him but now he had his arms around her waist.“Get the fuck off me” I heard her shout, I could see her struggling to get out of his grip.“I’ll show you a good time” he slurred while another
The Calm To His Storm Chapter Eight
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

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

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.

The Calm To His Storm Chapter Thirty-One
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
The Calm To His Storm Chapter Thirty
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
The Calm To His Storm Chapter Twenty-Nine
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
The Calm To His Storm Chapter Twenty-Eight
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
The Calm To His Storm Chapter Twenty-Seven
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

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
