"What? How do you expect me to prove my love for you?" I exclaimed, my voice tinged with a mix of confusion and disbelief. His intense gaze fixated on me, causing a rush of emotions to surge through my veins. My heart raced, pounding heavily and rapidly within my chest.Then, he uttered those words that hit me like a sudden blow, knocking the breath out of me. "Let's have sex now," he proposed, his statement hanging in the air like an unexpected storm. My eyes widened in shock, and my heart seemed to skip a beat, sinking deep into the pit of my stomach."What? Sex?" I stammered, my words slowly escaping my parted lips, as if struggling to comprehend his audacious request. I tried to process the gravity of his words, my eyes fixed on him, refusing to blink, as if hoping that it was all a surreal dream."Yes, Olga. Sex," he reiterated, his voice filled with a blend of frustration and vulnerability. His hand, once tightly gripping my upper arm, began to loosen its hold as it traveled upw
"No! Dima, I'm sorry, but I cannot do this," I snapped, my voice filled with a mix of frustration and fear, as I instinctively pulled away from him. The weight of the situation loomed in my mind, and the mere thought of being discovered by Antonio caused a surge of adrenaline to course through my body. I could feel the beads of sweat forming on my skin, and every muscle in my body tensed up. My legs twitched with unease, propelling me to swiftly distance myself from Dima's presence."Olga!" His voice called out to me, filled with a mix of concern and urgency, as he hurriedly approached. However, I was too quick for him, and I managed to slip out of the room and forcefully slam the door shut behind me. The sound reverberated through the air, punctuating my escape. My heart pounded relentlessly against my ribcage, the rapid beats echoing in my ears."No! No! No!" I muttered under my breath, shaking my head in disbelief and self-reproach as I ascended the dimly lit staircase. Each step I
"Wh...at?" I stuttered, my lips flapping on each other nervously. My heart raced, thumping fast and hard in my chest. The sweat that had managed to dry up instantly found its way back, forming droplets on my face. This time around, the intensity of my anxiety was even worse than the first time.He didn't utter another word, just gazed into my eyes, as if trying to peer into the depths of my soul. The weight of the moment felt like my entire life was crumbling right before my eyes, leaving me utterly lost and unsure of what to say. My body began to tremble, as though I had a fever, and I struggled to find composure."The last time I saw you, it was at night, and you were outside the room," Antonio spoke, breaking the heavy silence. "You were coming out of Dima's room. So, I figured you might be coming out from there tonight as well."As he spoke, the frenzy of emotions inside me slightly lessened, as I realized he hadn't actually witnessed me coming out of Dima's room. A sigh of relief
“The city is so beautiful,” Bianca cheered, her excitement evident as we drove through the streets, taking in the sights during our tour of the city. Guila tagged along, and the three of us sat comfortably in the back of the car.Behind us, another car filled with guards followed closely. Antonio had emphasized the importance of not taking any chances, especially after the events of the previous day’s water saga. Surprisingly, Antonio acted completely normal with me, which gave me some reassurance that he hadn’t discovered the truth about my lies.“The street market is so vibrant,” Bianca added, capturing the lively scene on her phone through pictures.“The market in Palermo is just amazing. If you stay longer, we’d definitely have to visit it,” Guila chimed in, her smile beaming with enthusiasm.“But why can’t we go now?” Bianca asked, turning to both of us with an eager expression. She occupied the right edge of the car, while I sat on the left, and Guila was in the middle.“Yeah, I
“You know where to find me!I love you , Ciccio”As Tyler read and re-read the poignant words etched upon the paper, he couldn't help but feel a whirlwind of emotions surging through him. Gently, his fingers grazed the surface of the letter, tracing the curves of each letter as if trying to absorb the essence of his mother's love. The weight of her affection, and the bittersweet knowledge that she was somewhere out there, waiting, caused his teeth to grind together in a mixture of frustration and longing. He released a deep sigh, allowing the air to carry away some of the tension that had settled within him.Closing his eyes, Tyler sought solace in the darkness, hoping to find a moment of respite amidst the storm raging in his heart. He held the letter for a few precious seconds, cherishing the connection it represented, before carefully folding it and securing it in the sanctuary of his pants pocket. The letter, now tucked away, served as a physical reminder of the unbreakable bond b
As the sharp and loud noise echoed through the air, my heart pounded heavily in my chest, sending shivers down my spine. Fear consumed me as I sat in the car, the adrenaline coursing through my veins. Bullets rained down upon our vehicle, but relief washed over me as I remembered it was a bulletproof car, providing some solace amidst the chaos.Guila’s tearful voice trembled with fear as she asked, “What’s going on?” I instinctively bent our heads down, trying to shield her from any possible danger.“Please remain down, Ma’am!” One of our courageous men, who was behind the wheel, called out. Dima, our steadfast companion, sat beside him in the front seat, ready to face the imminent threat.Amidst the chaos, they too, took action, bravely stepping outside of the car through the side where the enemies were not present. Their presence gave us a glimmer of hope, but the odds were heavily stacked against us. The assailants, numbering around ten, vastly outnumbered us; all we had were Dima
“Antonio!” I called out, my heart pounding with both fear and relief. A smile etched on my face as I saw Antonio running towards me, the hero of my heart, ready to save me from the clutches of the enemies who had tried to attack us. With a swift movement, he effortlessly got rid of them, aided by his men who fought valiantly by his side. As I lay on the floor, my hands tied tightly behind me, I felt a mixture of emotions overwhelming me.“Olga,” Antonio called out my name with a sense of urgency, rushing to my side. He halted and knelt down beside me, his strong hands gently cupping my cheeks, and our eyes locked in an unbreakable bond, as if we were communicating without uttering a word. In that moment, I realized how joyous I was to see him coming to my rescue. The sweat on my face seemed inconsequential as his warm hands caressed my cheek with tender care.“You are safe now,” he whispered softly, his voice carrying reassurance that washed over me like a soothing balm. I nodded in r
As the gag was removed from my mouth, I took a deep breath, my heart pounding in my chest. I glared at Nello, the notorious Capo of Reggio Calabria, who now stood before me with his enigmatic black-suited presence. My eyes widened in shock as I realized the gravity of the situation. It was never a good sign to have a powerful figure like him in such close proximity.“Nello,” I muttered, my voice trembling with a mix of fear and anger. Guila and the others seemed oblivious to the significance of his presence, and I wasn’t entirely sure if Guila even knew who he was. She always kept herself at arm’s length from the dangerous dealings of the Mafioso, unlike me, who had gotten tangled in their web.His eyes darted at me, and a deceitful smirk crept across his face, causing a shiver to run down my spine. Despite my resistance, he gently cupped my face with his right hand, a move that only intensified my discomfort. I groaned and attempted to protest, shaking my head aggressively, but his
