Double Date Break

last update Last Updated: 2025-02-26 17:48:07

The sun was beginning to set, casting a warm golden glow over the city skyline. It was a rare moment of peace, a well-deserved break from the constant game of power plays and deception that Alexander and Artemis had been navigating. They both knew they were being watched—every move scrutinized by the Marconi family and their allies. That was precisely why they needed this evening.

A double date.

It was Klarisse’s idea, really. After days of tension and calculated moves, she had convinced Alexander that a little normalcy would be good for them. Artemis, who had been skeptical at first, quickly agreed when he realized Allie would be part of the plan.

Now, as the sleek black Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of an exclusive rooftop restaurant, the anticipation in the air was palpable.

Alexander stepped out first, walking around the car to open Klarisse’s door. She smiled up at him, looking effortlessly elegant in a soft beige dress that hugged her figure. Though she had given birth to t

  • The Heart of the Mafia Twin   Twins Monitor

    Weeks had passed with a sense of normalcy settling over the Robinson and Fowl families—at least as normal as it could be given the intricate web of power plays, alliances, and carefully executed deception they were juggling. Alexander and Artemis had played their roles well in the business dealings, keeping the Marconis appeased while subtly shifting control into their hands. Klarisse and Allie, on the other hand, had been preoccupied with their responsibilities at the café, and of course, with raising the twins. Everything seemed smooth. Until the call came. Klarisse was in the middle of organizing the new pastry menu at the café when her phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen and saw Anna's name flashing—a call from the twins’ nanny. Immediately, an unsettling feeling crept up her spine. Anna never called unless it was urgent. She pressed the phone to her ear. “Anna? Is everything alright?” The panic in Anna’s voice sent Klarisse’s heart racing. “Ma’am, I—” The nanny’s voice w

  • The Heart of the Mafia Twin   The Den

    The atmosphere inside the family den was thick with tension. The soft glow of the chandelier above did little to ease the unease that filled the room. Alexander, Klarisse, Artemis, and Allie sat across from their parents—Bronson and Angela Robinson, Alan and Kareen Fowl. Despite the lavish surroundings—the mahogany bookshelves lined with first-edition books, the antique fireplace crackling softly in the background, and the vintage paintings adorning the walls—there was no mistaking that this was not an ordinary family gathering. This was a war council. Alexander had ensured that the twins, Lucas and Liana, were safely tucked in for the night, their nannies watching over them with the utmost care. It was a necessary precaution. If Luca Marconi was willing to appear in broad daylight at the park near the estate, there was no telling what he would do next. Bronson Robinson, the patriarch of the Robinson empire, leaned back in his chair, his fingers steepled in front of him. His sharp,

  • The Heart of the Mafia Twin   A False Trip, A Real Plan

    The Robinson and Fowl families knew that Luca Marconi’s unexpected visit to the twins at the park wasn’t just a mere coincidence—it was a message, a warning. They had to respond strategically. And so, they devised a plan: a *false trip*. From the outside, it would seem like the families were rattled, running off to safety. In reality, it was nothing more than a smokescreen. Behind the scenes, Artemis had activated his secret network—powerful, unseen forces from Europe that had been silently gathering intelligence on Luca Marconi’s operations. The trip was just a distraction, a way to lull Marconi into thinking he had the upper hand. The morning of the departure was a spectacle. Luggage was packed, security was heightened, and their private jet was prepared. Everything was designed to make it look like they were genuinely leaving out of fear. Alexander and Klarisse stood near the jet, watching as the nannies carefully boarded with the twins, Lucas and Liana. Allie adjusted her sun

  • The Heart of the Mafia Twin   Intel and Retaliation

    The moment Artemis received the report from his European team, he knew that Luca Marconi had made his final mistake. Attempting to eliminate the Robinsons and Fowls from the Mafia world wasn’t just an act of aggression—it was an outright declaration of war. Standing in the secured command room of the Mediterranean estate, Artemis read the decrypted message once more, his grip tightening around the tablet. **"Marconi is reaching out to other families. Plans are in motion. If we don’t move fast, he may gain enough allies to strike first."** He exhaled sharply, his mind already racing with countermeasures. Marconi wanted to isolate them, turn the Mafia world against them. But what Luca didn’t understand was that Artemis had been preparing for this possibility long before he even stepped back into the Robinson family. Artemis wasted no time. He immediately reached out to his trusted contacts—powerful figures scattered across the globe. In Russia, the Petrov Syndicate. In Japan, the

  • The Heart of the Mafia Twin   Safe Return Home

    The Robinsons and Fowls arrived back home a week after their supposed vacation, their return strategically planned to maintain the illusion that they had simply taken time away for leisure. The family’s private jets landed under the cover of night, ensuring minimal attention from prying eyes. Inside the Robinson mansion, Klarisse settled into the grand living room, watching the twins, Lucas and Liana, as they played with their toys. Allie sat beside her, casually sipping tea, though her eyes were alert. Neither of them could ignore the tension in the air. Alexander and Artemis had already left for a private meeting in the study, finalizing their strategy for the upcoming dinner with Luca Marconi. The next few days would be critical, and they all knew it. Angela and Kareen, the matriarchs of the Robinson and Fowl families, were also present, ensuring that everything ran smoothly in their absence. Though both women appeared calm, they were far from oblivious to the dangers ahead. An

  • The Heart of the Mafia Twin   Showdown at Dinner

    The grand dining hall of the Marconi estate was a spectacle of luxury, with towering chandeliers, gold-accented walls, and a long table set with the finest silverware. However, despite the opulence, there was an underlying tension in the air—one that even the rich aroma of wine and roasted meats couldn’t mask. Artemis and Alexander Robinson sat side by side, their posture relaxed but their minds alert. Across from them sat the Marconi patriarch, *Valentin Marconi*, his son *Luca*, and their closest ally, *Enrico D’Angelo*. A few other heads of the mafia families were present, but notably, their numbers were fewer than expected. Luca smirked, lifting his glass of wine in a mock toast. “To our esteemed guests, the Robinson brothers. You’ve certainly been keeping yourselves busy these past few months.” Alexander returned the gesture with a cool smile, though he didn’t drink. “Busy is a relative term, Luca. But we’re honored to be here tonight.” Artemis remained silent, his sharp eyes

  • The Heart of the Mafia Twin   Victory Night

    As Artemis and Alexander Robinson stepped out of the Marconi estate, a crisp night breeze greeted them, carrying with it the unmistakable scent of expensive cigars and aged whiskey from inside. The other mafia family heads followed, their murmurs a mixture of satisfaction and newfound respect for the Robinsons. The shift in power had been subtle yet undeniable, and despite the Marconis’ attempts to keep control, the tide had turned. The once grand and intimidating estate now felt more like a fragile house of cards, teetering on the brink of collapse. However, there was one thing that remained consistent—*the way the Marconi security watched them leave*. Luca Marconi’s fury had been evident, and while his father, Valentin, had masked his emotions well, it was clear that the Marconis would not accept this loss lightly. The security personnel standing around the estate’s perimeter had their eyes locked on the departing guests, their stances rigid, their fingers hovering dangerously cl

  • The Heart of the Mafia Twin   Moments

    The morning sun was warm but not overbearing as Artemis and Allie stepped out of the black SUV, blending into the crowd of a busy shopping district. The streets bustled with life—couples on dates, families with children, and groups of friends chattering as they moved from shop to shop. The lively atmosphere was a stark contrast to the intensity of the past few days. Despite their attempt at normalcy, security was still tight. Unseen but ever-present, bodyguards trailed at a respectful distance, stationed strategically around the area. To the untrained eye, Artemis and Allie looked like any other couple enjoying a casual day out, but those in the know understood—*this was a calculated outing*. As they walked side by side, Allie glanced up at Artemis, noting how relaxed he seemed, hands tucked into his pockets, an easy smirk on his face. It was different from the composed and calculating man she had seen at meetings or when discussing business with Alexander. “Are you actually having

    **“Alex!”** Klarisse’s scream echoed through the cold, dimly lit room, her voice trembling with desperation. Her heart was pounding so violently that it felt as if it would burst from her chest. Her vision blurred, her body weak from exhaustion and despair. **“Alex…”** Her knees gave out. **She collapsed.** **“Boss, what are we going to do with her?”** One of Luca’s henchmen stood over Klarisse’s motionless body. His voice held no compassion. Just cold indifference. Luca Marconi stood nearby, watching with amusement as Klarisse’s body lay slumped on the floor. **“Leave her.”** Luca’s lips twisted into a cruel smirk, his eyes gleaming with malice. **“She’s not going anywhere.”** **“Let her stew in her misery.”** **“Alex…”** Luca chuckled softly, swirling a glass of wine in his hand, savoring the unfolding tragedy like a fine vintage. **“You have no idea, Alexander.”** His voice was laced with venom. **“You chose to save your ex… over your wife.”** **“What a wonderf

    **Venice.** A city of dreams… but tonight, it was a city of **nightmares.** **Klarisse Fowl-Robinson** sat bound and helpless in a cold, dimly lit room. Her wrists were tied tightly behind the wooden chair, and her ankles were bound to its legs. The air was damp, filled with the scent of mildew and fear. **But it wasn’t the coldness of the room that chilled Klarisse’s soul.** It was the **man sitting across from her.** **“Ahhh…”** Luca swirled the deep red wine in his glass, his lips curling into a satisfied smile. He sat leisurely, like a man savoring the fruits of a hard-fought victory. **“A fine vintage, don’t you think, Klarisse?”** His tone was mockingly polite, but his eyes… **Cold. Calculating. Cruel.** **Klarisse refused to answer.** Her jaw clenched as she stared at the floor, her eyes burning with tears she refused to shed. **But her silence only fueled Luca’s amusement.** **“Still giving me the silent treatment, huh?”** Luca chuckled softly, taking another

It was an **old industrial warehouse**, hidden away in the heart of Venice’s labyrinthine alleys. **Dilapidated. Quiet. Deceptively so.** But Alexander knew better. **Luca never left anything to chance.** The air was thick with the scent of mold and rust. The dim glow of flickering lights overhead barely illuminated the narrow corridors. **“Check the perimeter,”** Alex ordered softly, his voice barely above a murmur. **“Stay alert.”** **Brandon and Lionel fanned out with precisi

Beside him, **Alan Fowl** sat with his hands clasped tightly, his knuckles white with the force of his grip. They were here to make a decision that would shape the future of **their families**… and the entire **Mafia underworld.** The hall was filled with representatives from the most powerful Mafia families. **The Bertollis, the Vasquezes, the Morettis, the Lucianos, the Bellinis…** All of them had come, their faces reflecting a mix of unease and impatience. **Bronson Robinson** scanned the room, his gaze sharp and assessing.

But as much as Allie tried to focus on the present… Her mind wandered back to the **past.** **It came out of nowhere.** A wave of nostalgia swept over her, pulling her back to a time she had tried so hard to forget. **Before Klarisse.** **Before Artemis.** **Before she had a family that truly cared.** ---Allie had been barely **seven years old** when her world shattered. Her parents… Gone. An accident. **They never came home that night.** She remembered waiting by the window, hoping for the familiar sound of her father’s car pulling into the driveway. But it never came. ---From that point on, Allie had been tossed from one **foster home** to another. Some families were kind. Others… Not so much. **She learned quick

    The cabin of the private jet was cloaked in **silence** — a silence so thick it felt like a living entity, suffocating everything in its path. **Alexander Robinson sat near the window,** his eyes staring blankly at the vast expanse of clouds below. The engines of the jet hummed softly, a background noise that barely registered in his mind. **His thoughts, however, were anything but quiet.** ---Alexander’s mind was a battlefield, torn between **duty and love, responsibility and heartache.** **Klarisse.** His wife. The mother of his children. **Maxine.** His first love.
