Rodion

_____

I averted my gaze to Matteo, my man, he once promised to never die in the hands of enemies.

He sure fought hard to keep the promise.

As I stared at him, The memory of how we met surfaced. Back six years when I was an underboss.

I had just skidded my motorbike to a stop in Lazza territory when he approached me. He was clad in a dark tee and black jeans, similar to how I was clad. I examined him quietly as I took off my gloves and from the outfit, I knew he was another guard assigned to work for me.

"Can I help you?" I raised a questioning brow which he probably never saw because the little light from pathway lights was directed mostly at him. He bowed his head and then spoke.

"I'm your new bodyguard, boss." He notified. He was not even looking into my eyes. I let out a heavy sigh and then climbed off the bike.

"Who hired you?" I asked. I was not surprised anymore because he was probably the tenth person to be hired.

  • The Mafia And The Fake Wife   110-stuck in pain

    Alessia____There was a hole in my heart and it was aching. It felt like there was a fresh wound that was slowly wearing down my heart.Everything around me was blurry. I could feel myself falling and getting up. It was as if my body was weak and I was compelled to run away.The breeze outside nibbled my skin mercilessly making me shiver. I wiped my hair off my face and honestly, I smelt blood.I just wanted to go far away from everyone, everything, and every pain. But my body was not with me. I dragged myself outside the building, funny how the night was crawling in yet I couldn't tell how the day ended. I hated the day and I wished we could turn back time just to start the day again."Alessia." Someone called me. That was followed by a car hooting. I whirled to where it emerged and there was a car parked at the exit gate of the building. "Get in." He waved and from the little brain cell that was left func

    Alessia____I arrived at Lazza territory and everyone looked gloomy. The soldiers who were moving about in the mansion were not as many as before. I hurried to the east wing where I assumed Rodion was.I charged to his room and seeing the lights were on, I knew he was in. I spotted his phone and gun on the bedside table. My heart was racing, either from running or the anxiety to see him.He was not inside and the bed was neat. I hurriedly walked to the shower and he was not in either. That found me storming into the dressing room and being the last I could find him, he was not inside.I was dying to see him. Seeing his phone in his room meant that he was in the east-wing apartment. I gunned downstairs and to the basement. I knew him, when something stressed him, he would go punch bags in the gym or shoot his anger out in the shooting area.The place was quiet."Rodion!" I called as I walked around, checking every corner and even the changing room in the gym, but he was not there.Pan

  • The Mafia And The Fake Wife   112-insanely obsessed

    Alessia_____What did I expect? Rodion will always protect me even when he is not around. I knew he wanted us to work, our relationship to work and I also needed to know that he was a mafia and nothing would change that. It was for me to trust what we shared. To trust our love and let the rest be as it is. I loved him so much.Thinking he sent Alonzo to follow me, made me see how he was devoted, and it was my time to play my part. Like Alonzo said, he was a human, he deserved love and care as well."Speaking of your car, I found a note in the car the day we were to have a date." I hid my face, knowing that my hair was covering most of my face, but who was I kidding, Rodion moved closer and took care of it. The way he would search my face with his hands and stare into my eyes, those actions were not obvious but they would drive me insane. I was probably insanely obsessed."I can explain.""Then start talking

    Alessia____Mum used to tell me that it's wrong to wake someone who is relishing their sleep. When I was young, I used to fall asleep during family movie time, a movie that I used to pick, and then fall asleep before it ends. I used to complain to Mum a lot for not waking me up, but her response was always the same.I walked out of the shower with a towel swathed around my nakedness. I made sure to make no noises to wake my man. At least he was resting, which he highly needed.I strode to the dressing room to find something cozy to wear. Most of my pants were tight except for the few dark baggy trousers. For a reason, I did not want to wear black. I couldn't let the situation look gloomy.Wearing black meant I was mourning, and I hadn't brought myself to let Matteo go.I settled with blue shorts and a white top. I needed something to coat me up so I went for a gray trench coat.I put on my white Prada boots and then

    Alessia____Murmurs sufficed in the corners of the conference room I had walked in. The men in suits had gazed in my direction but they all assumed me and resumed talking among themselves. I did not hesitate to make my way in.My boots connected to the marble floor creating a commanding sound. The trench coat swung to my pace, and a serious face pasted on me.The little muffles went on settling when they all noticed I was approaching Don's seat. I could feel their gazes penetrating through my bones. I swivel the seat and sank on it. That earned me more sickening murmurs but this time, they were questioning my presence and actions.I pulled my gun hastily and slapped it on the table, and I got the silence I wanted. Though their faces could show just how confused they were.I studied the five men clad in neat suits silently. They were supposed to be seven, which was from the survey I did on Rodi

    Alessia___I remembered my parents used to fight because mum hid about Alonzo. And there, I wished she could have mentioned it earlier because Dad seemed okay with it.I looked up at Alonzo and found he was also gazing at me as if waiting for me to agree on it. I would have loved that, but they all knew it was too late because I had found another life."Alessia has a private jet, we will be visiting on weekends and having dinner together, if that's okay?" He read my mind and I felt relieved. Why was he so understanding?"Yes. And Alonzo is taking his training. So we are busy in Sicily but we promise to be having a family get-together dinner." I blurted.We both gazed at our parents expectedly, but they were all staring at us in what looked like a shock. Maybe wondering what our deal was. From the looks, Alonzo saved me, I did not want to stay away from Rodion."Did you two talk before?" Dad cared to

    Alessia_____Red.I worked hard to be red. That color you'd easily notice when someone walks in. My hair was red, matching well with the red thigh-level dress that did nothing to hide every feminine aspect of me. Then I wore bloody lipstick, you'd think I was advertising the color.The only color that appeared different was of my thigh-high six-inch stiletto heel boots which were black.Every eye was on me as I walked into the most luxurious club in Rome. The girl who walked in and everyone turned to acknowledge her presence.I fixed my fake eyeglasses, a smile was fixed on my crimson lips as I approached a bar stool at the higher bar counter. It happened to be the VIP tavern, which of course I could afford.I ignored the murmurs from the crowd and focused on the bartender. I flashed a smile at him. The tall guy clad in a neat white shirt that had a name tag on it, Paolo. There were only two bartenders in the VIP sec

    Alessia_____We had several drinks as I did a few dance moves for him. He seemed to have been hooked by my aura or he probably thought that things were gonna go as he wanted.He had taken off his coat jacket, unbuttoned a few buttons on his white shirt, and taken several glasses of liquor that proved he was in for the game."Here." He was taking something from his wallet. I watched as his fingers pulled a card that he handed to me. That's when I noticed his hand was shaking. "Spend as much as you want for a lap dance." He slurred his speech. He was drunk.I chuckled while resting my glass on the table in front of him. I then pushed his hand off while shaking my head. "Come on, if it's a lap dance, just ask, and I will offer.""Oh." He leaned back on the backrest with a shameless grin on his lips. He then spread his legs, ready for what he wanted. "Red. I will call you red.""Red, I love it." I gave a rueful smile. I

    Rodion____Years later___I took a brief inhale to the fresh scent of flowers in my grip. A simple smile emerged at the corner of my lips and a warm feeling settled in my heart.I got upstairs and there, I could feel her presence. Her pure existence was full of Joy, calmness, and grace.The door to the room was open. I sighted her immediately when I stood by the door frame. She was seated In front of a mirror at her vanity desk at the furthest corner of her bright room. She was holding a purple hair comb, busy brushing her shoulder-length black hair.She was clad in a white dress that was as pure as she was. Her tiny back was held straight, she knew what she was doing.I lifted my fist and made a gentle knock. It got her turning to face behind. She suddenly dropped her comb, jumped off her settee, and ran towards me."Papa.""Hello, pri

    Alessia____"You may now kiss the bride."As if it was our first kiss, Rodion first explored my face with a look of victory in his eyes. He ran his fingers on my cheek, leaving feathery touches as he pushed the hand behind my neck.I ignored the crowd, the way everyone was cheering us, wanting us to kiss already, but watching my husband take his time to first stare at me felt like heaven.His other hand settled on the other side of the cheek. He used his thumb to caress my skin, down to my lip and then my chin."Thank you." He murmured that I was the only one who heard him. I noticed how his eyes begged me to read beyond the words, to see his heart. Those eyes that once used to scare me, were watching me tenderly. "For being mine, thank you, baby."I nodded with a smile and tears that I had been controlling ever since the wedding started to well up again. "I love you."He bowed his eyes to mine, leaning slowly

    Alessia_____I silently watched as Rodion wrapped a scarf around my neck. He towered me, with every part of him attending to me. He loved to offer all his attention to me and forget he had an empire to think of. Even his blood and every sense were acquainted to submit to me."Where are we going?" I asked when he picked a trench coat from the closet. He moved behind me and helped me wear it. It was a black one, similar to the one he was wearing."You will see." He kissed my hair then walked around and stood in front of me. His hands settled on my shoulder then he interlocked our gazes. "You are okay, right?" He asked. I had no count of the number of times he asked me that question, and if he wasn't a man I was madly in love with, I could have hollered because it was too much.I released an exhale. "Honey, if I was not okay, you know I will definitely tell you, right?" I asked way more politely.He nodded and

    Rodion_____The cigar smoke sailed in the atmosphere creating a dark cloud between the two of us. I was currently seated with a man who was considered my brother. He was busy smoking while I rubbed my jawline.Yes, I couldn't smoke.My eyes were on my beautiful angel moving around the compound. She was wearing a raven umbrella dress which was above her knees. She would walk inside the house and come out carrying something. It was lovely to watch her.We were currently in the Bungalow which was in the middle of the woods. Alessia loved the place since it was away from everyone and everything.I loved the place as well. It reminded me of my first time with her. The day I tasted her, the day I sank into her sweet streams. The day she moaned for me, giving me all beautiful looks. The day I claimed her.I took a sip of the drink which was surprisingly white wine. It could perhaps wash my desires. She always mad

    Alessia______I almost entered the passcode to open the door when Alice grabbed me and pulled me behind."What are you doing?" She whispered. I had no idea why we were whispering because I also whispered back."Opening the door."Her mouth fell open. Not the first time but ever since we drove to the hotel, she looked like she had seen a ghost. Judith was entirely quiet and I knew I was an asshole. I could have not lied to them."You live here?" Alice asked then turned to Carina. "She lives here?""Yes," Carina whispered. "Wait, why are we whispering?""Just open the door if this is where you live." Judith diced in with her shrill voice that made my smile disappear."Okay, Jesus, can you be less cold." I walked back to the door and I did not miss the squealing sound from Alice.I was about to enter the passcode when the door clicked and someone pulled it open. I jerked awa

    Alessia_______Four months laterNothing sucks like being alone on Valentine's Day. Especially when the person you love tells you that they got busy at work. It almost feels like they choose work over you.I hid the pain and read the message that Rodion sent to me.Mine: I'm sorry this had to happen, I promise to come tomorrow after we are done. I will spend the rest of the weekend with you.Yes, he was to come but not on Valentine's day. What was the point anyway?A pang crawled in my heart at the thought of it.

    Alessia_____The flight took us well. I was mostly chatting with Carina about some private stuff. Rodion was mostly on his laptop but the poor man did not do anything because Isabella was on his pants. She was asking a million questions and to my surprise, Rodion was so kind to answer her.I noticed something with him, he treated kids like how he would treat a pet, with care and love. Isabella spent most of the time seated on Rodion's lap as they talked about some stuff from his laptop.I even took a few photos of them. He was more comfortable around kids than he would be around grown-ups.Dad was unwell. It had been two days since he got diagnosed with high blood pressure, so he didn't join us.Mum was busy chatting with Alonzo. The way the two had gotten close was giving me anxiety, but I was happy to see them so close. I wanted Alonzo to grow close to our family because he grew up without us.

    Alessia_______I am persistent, but people would call me stubborn.I needed Carina back, so I never rested in texting her every minute. Even though I used to get zero replies from her, I never gave up. And it paid off."I know I probably moved on so quickly, but that did not mean I never adored Matteo. He was a close person to me, to us." I explained wholeheartedly. It was my first time having trouble speaking to my bestie.She always felt closer than my parents, I shared a lot more with her than I would to my mother. But seated in front of her in the restaurant we were in, it felt like I was seated with a stranger."Let's not talk about it." Her eyes darted around in an attempt to avoid looking at me. She kept sipping her tea every second and the way her fingers played on the cup, she was nervous like I was."I miss
