Cutting some fresh fruit that Vito had ordered to be sent to the house, I stood in the kitchen with a smile on my face. For the first time in forever, I felt free in a sense. There was no impending danger ahead of me, no constant back and forth to the café to deal with some argumentative customers or even the worry I felt for my dad. I was a bit apprehensive at first for Jayden to watch my father, but Vito was quick to reassure me that Jayden knew what he was doing and even had some trained nurses he’s hiring to ensure everything is done to help my dad. Vito walking into the kitchen with a new phone in his hand and a smile on his face only added to how great this feeling was, I wonder what I would have thought a year ago if I knew where I’d be here today. “Good news Pequeño, I was able to get Jayden on the phone and I know you’ve been worried, but Louis is due to make a full recovery. He has a mild concussion and will experience a minor headache for about a week but after, he will
To say I was shocked when Vito proposed to me was an understatement, I had no idea that he’d been planning to ask me for weeks and even had the ring specially made around a month of us dating. He told me the moment that I moved into his house that we’d get married; he was simply waiting for the right time to ask me. Even though this trip wasn’t planned for this purpose, he knew it would be the perfect place. I simply sat on the bed staring at the beautiful ring which gleamed on my finger, I’d never been the type of person to really marvel over jewellery or spend countless hours chasing down the perfect piece, but I had to say, this was beautiful. The ring was gold with a huge diamond in the middle which shone so brightly in the light, two smaller diamonds on each side of the bigger one showcasing how much thought Vito had put into designing this. Entering through the bathroom, he soon finds me sitting on the bed staring down at the ring on my finger. “This is absolutely beautifu
Walking down the cobblestone steps of the villa Vito and I are staying in, my hands shook with anticipation, after spending the past three days hearing Vito planning the little ceremony for us to get married, the day had finally, come. I was now on my way over to the woman who was making me my dress, due to the wedding not being huge, I didn’t think I would need to wear a dress as it’ll only be me, Vito and a few witnesses which will need to be present. But Vito was quick to tell me that it wouldn’t be a wedding if I wasn’t in a wedding dress, he knew the perfect person to make me a simple dress for the simple ceremony, but he was sure to tell me that when the time came for us to have the big wedding back at home, he’ll ensure that I go all out. Susanna, the woman who would be making my dress came over yesterday to take my measurements and asked me what kind of dress I wanted, after going over some things and explaining how simple I wanted the dress, she left with a smile telling me
After sitting in the same chair for around an hour and a half getting my hair and makeup down, I begin to slip back into my beautiful dress with the help of Suzanna again, this time she ensured the dress was in the correct places on my body now it was truly time. Even the beautiful necklace and other items of jewellery only tied the dress together, really matching the simplicity of the dress but making it stand out that much more. I was able to keep the tears at bay until my vail was secured in the well put together bun of my hair, this time fully showing me that I was actually about to get married, I know the wedding dress didn’t scream that to me. Suzanna, who watched from the side soon hands me a tissue so I wouldn’t cause my makeup to run. “Thank you so much, you’ve made me feel beautiful.” I say knowing I could never thank her enough, I know this is rushed but it’s still my wedding, something that doesn’t come around in a much in your life. “No need to thank me sweetheart,
After spending just over a month in the Bahamas enjoying married life and getting to spend as much time together as possible, we sat in Vito’s gigantic private jet on our way back home. Vito wasn’t lying when he bragged about his private jet being bigger than the one we left in, I could fully picture myself moving into this plane full time and never having any kind of issue with it. The seats were the comfiest I had ever sat in before, even the bedroom was double the size of the last one! How much did this cost to buy and keep in the air?! “Thank you.” I smile to Vito taking the bottle of water he went to get me from the fridge whilst he takes a seat beside me on the double sofa like seats on the side of the living area. “I know we have to go home and back to our regular lives, but I loved staying in our own Villa and having you all to myself.” I say with a sigh placing my head on his shoulder as I spoke, where a chuckle soon erupts from his lips as he pulls me even closer to him.
Most of the car ride was filled with Jayden giving Vito an update on all that had happened with his work since he’d been gone, nothing that I typically wanted to hear about. The less I know about what Vito does, the better it makes me feel about him leaving me to get it done. With my head against the window feeling a little jet legged from having to get up much early to leave for the UK, I was exhausted and only watched all of the tress go by as we continued down some country road. “Oh, and there’s an update on Shane’s case which I think you’ll both want to hear.” Jayden speaks from the back which did break through and get my attention, where I soon sit up and give him a look. “There has been an arrest made, Shane’s weird uncle Jeremy, the one you didn’t like at the funeral had been arrested and charged with Shane’s murder. I told you it was probably him!” He smiled over to me mostly, if I hadn’t of found out what really happened to Shane, I would have believed that but with what
After sitting on the side of the road crying a little, Vito leads me back to the car and towards our new home. My head against the window again but this time, it wasn’t tiredness which flooded through me, but the intense gut-wrenching pain of grief. When my father was at his worst, I did wonder if I would arrive back from work one day and find him laying dead on the floor due to his days of abusing his body. Back then, it’s sad to admit that I had sort of accepted that fact and knew what to do and who to call when I found him. But now I could see the light at the end of the tunnel, and he was finally, getting better, I had silently told myself that I didn’t need to live in the fear of him passing away too soon, but I see how detrimental that had been for me now. “I need to talk to the head of security; will you be okay in the car?” Vito asks mainly looking over at me rather than Jayden, where I send him a nod before looking back out of the window whilst he leaves the car silent on
Each person apart from Jayden began to share the same looks on their faces, utter shock on what they were hearing. I knew from Vito how dangerous and complex this last job of theirs was, they knew how much intense planning needed to go into this job to ensure none of them get hurt or arrested. I also wanted them to leave no stone unturned when going over each and every one of the details, I didn’t need anything happening to Vito, he’s all I got right now. “Are you sure we’re ready for this job to be at the end of the week, I mean we can’t fuck ass around with any job, but this one in particular, we can’t be too careful.” Buster said breaking the silence with the words of warning, Louis nodding his head in agreement whilst still stuffing his face with food. “When did you turn into a pussy Buster?! We have been planning this job for so many years now, if we don’t get up and do it, it’s never gonna happen!” Jayden exclaims seeming to be very pissed off that no one was jumping up and
8 months later: The bright lights of the sun streaming through the open windows cause my eyes to flutter open, feeling a little dazed at first, I look around and begin to panic at the scene. I was all alone in the huge bedroom before me, my mind of course going to the worst-case scenario as usual. Until a little note sat on the pillow beside me grabs my attention, it read: “I thought you could do with a little more sleep after the night you had, Lucio and I have gone downstairs to allow you some rest. Take as much time as you need, Vito x” With a smile at how sweet he was, I place the note to rest on top of the bedside table feeling the worry lift from my body. I barely had any sleep last night due to our son Lucio, having a rough night of his own. Vito kept asking if I wanted him to stay awake with me, but I knew at least one of us needed to be more alive this morning, but how nice he was that he took Lucio so I could get a little more rest. I gave birth to our beautiful son
Vito walked the halls of the warehouse watching as his new men from Henson went on their rampage and took whatever they could carry and even more. To him, this was the last job he needed to do before he could get home to Coraline, the life which he wanted was so close snd even growing inside the woman he loved and there was nothing that was going to stand in his way to get it. “One of the vans have gone to the hideout boss, it was full to the brim, these men work fast that’s for sure.” Buster informs Vito rushing into the room, a smile filling Vito’s face as he looked around as more men walked in and out of the room. “Working ahead of schedule, just how I like it.” He smiled crossing his arms over his chest, his mind full of all the ideas of what Coraline and him were going to do with all this money and what he was could to do for their unborn child. “Did you hear Jay; this place will soon be cleared!” Buster cheered over to their friend letting him know the good news, Jayden al
My legs could have buckled from under me as I began to read further down the page and fully absorb what was written, such confusion, anger and worry filling my entire emotions. Written in a rushed sort of manner stood what appeared to be a list of things Jayden had to do, none were simple or normal when it came to list such as, get the car fixed, grab some groceries etc. Before me stood the list. 1: Poison Coraline and blame Owen 2: Have Vito kill Owen off 3: Kill Adam Hart 4: Have Vito kill Henson 5: Kill Vito on the job 6: Grief with Coraline 7: Have her all to yourself. Each item on the list began to get even more sinister as the list continued, my heart sinking to my feet when I realised that Jayden had been behind all of the horrible things which had been happening recently. I knew right when it happened that it couldn’t have been Owen that poisoned me, none of it made any sense and was impossible to happen! But what also hurt to see, Jayden had been behind the de
The next morning soon rolls around quicker than I would have liked, I knew the job was looming close with each day, but now it was here, I was riddled with worry. Vito kept repeating that he had gone over each detail so throughly that there was no way anything was to go wrong, but I also knew not to underestimate the police, they could be way ahead of him without Vito even knowing. As we stood in the kitchen getting the last things ready, I stood with my arms crossed and my hands shaking from fear, I worried this would be the last time I’d be able to see him ever and after the news I had told him yesterday, it cut deeper than anyone would expect. “Alright, the men are waiting three streets away from the warehouse with Buster keeping them in check, we have to be there in forty minutes to ensure we hit the place in the window where the security are switching.” Jayden says going over what he had said so many times over the past few days, I’ve heard it so much, I could probably go wit
The room dropped to silence I had never heard before, my heart in my mouth as I looked to Vito to see his reaction. I knew he wanted to be a father but now was not the time we had discussed; it would hurt so deep if he told me he wasn’t happy. But also, with the death weapon which is in his hand and pointed at Louis’s head, I was more than worried to see where this was going to go. “I only found out yesterday after I went to the restaurant, I wanted to tell you the minute that I saw you, but I knew after how the last pregnancy ended, you’ll be a little more worried about me which is something you don’t need walking into the job tomorrow.” I begin to say breaking the silence when Vito didn’t go to move or say a single word. “I wouldn’t know myself if it wasn’t for Louis, yesterday, we didn’t stop the car because I wanted to look at the scenery, we had to stop the car as I was throwing up on the side of the road which is when Louis asked if I was pregnant. I took a test and I am.” I t
After managing to successfully, avoid slipping up to Vito and telling him about the baby for the first half of the morning, we pulled up at the huge warehouse which felt like a second home at this point, so Vito can have the last meeting with the guys before the big job tomorrow. Climbing out the car with my huge water bottle in hand hoping water was going to help the sickness ease, I walked up the steep stairs hand in hand with Vito to find it was only Louis waiting there throwing a ball in the air and catching it. “Alright boss and Mrs Boss, Buster and Jayden are running late, something about a crash on the motorway, I tend not to listen to explanations much.” Louis said sort of explaining why the others weren’t here but at the same time, giving us no information at all. “They better hurry up, we have a lot to go over about tomorrow especially, now we have more men on the team to keep in line.” Vito grumbles a little annoyed that we had to wait around for the others to show bu
We remained at Henson old shop for the rest of the afternoon, Vito explaining to each man what was going to happen with the job and what he expected of them. To my happiness, no other men were killed as they all played ball, but Vito was quick to remind them what was to happen if they either didn’t turn up for the job or did anything to backstab or disrupt him and let’s just say, neither way sounded great for these guys. After the meeting, Vito took us home telling the rest of the guys to meet him at the warehouse tomorrow, whilst we went home to Vito’s huge house that I had yet to be given a tour of. Still being covered in blood from all he had done today, Vito takes a shower as soon as we arrived home leaving me alone to get ready for bed. But now I was alone with my thoughts, I couldn’t help but stand there in such a state of shock for all which had happened in the space of a day. I went to the restaurant and helped them with their Henson problem, finding out soon after that I’
As soon as the guy dropped to the floor, the room shifted even more as some men even backed as far away from Vito as they could well others, wanted to seem tough and stand their ground looking right at him. “Now we had a thought, Henson had a lot of men under his payroll, some who relied on him to pay their bills, my wife here worried that some of you would grow hungry without him. Which is why as her doting husband, I was sure to set her mind at ease. I have an enterprise and due to recent events, the biggest one in the town. You guys are out of work due to his death, and I have an endless stream of jobs going, do we know where I’m going with this?” Vito asks looking over at the men making it seem as though they had a choice, but we all knew what would happen if they refused to work for him. “I ain’t working for you!” Another man shouted off to the side, where it was now Jayden’s turn to do some crowd control and ended the man’s pleas. “It appears the men which Henson hired wer
We soon arrived at an office type building right in the centre of London, the busy street offering little to no privacy of what was going in and out of this building. Henson must have not seemed to care what people saw of him if the centre of his operation was right in the centre of the city, or he felt untouchable due to his ego. Pulling up the car around the back of the building in what appeared to be the loading area, Vito reaches into the back and pulls out a gun concealing it within his inside jacket pocket, whilst the gun he had pulled on his father was also in another pocket, how many guns does he think he’ll need?! “Alright Pequeño, you’ll be coming in with us.” Vito explains which certainly, was new information for me. Throughout all of this, Vito had always ensured that I was no where near the danger, but now I’m walking into this. “You’ll be right next to me the entire time and Louis.” He continues whilst the guys begin to get out of Louis’s car beside us, but I was sti
