The Mafia Widow Chapter 23: The Glimpse
"We've all got both light and dark inside of us. What matters is the part we choose to act on, that's who we really are."-Sirius Black-***Victoria felt incredibly awkward as she was seated across Ian in his own home. They were at his dining room and she thought the gathering would mean everyone would stand up and eat or each would have their own seats, but no.It was an exception with her because she was the only one seated and she also noticed there was absolutely no other women even inside the house.“If this is a gathering, how come there are no women around?” She asked.“That’s because I only work with men. Women are troublesome to work with.” Victoria was slightly offended by his rather misogynistic remark.“I am a woman and you are working with me.” She argued.“That’s because you are special. You are more capable. With other women, it’s usually a different story.” He replied back.For Ian, it was also troublesome how women who dealt with him in the past always ended up posse
The Mafia Widow Chapter 24: The Exchange
"One thorn of experience is worth a whole wilderness of warning."-James Russell Lowell-***“I never thought this day would come. The day when I finally meet you face to face after the humiliation you did to my family on the day you broke off your engagement with my daughter.” The man spoke with hatred and disappointment in his eyes.“And I never thought you would accept an invitation to meet with me. For that, I would like to thank you.” Ian stated. It was a miracle that Charles Dawn was willing to meet on the neutral ground.Of course, only when he was accompanied by ten bodyguards on his side, all private military trained. The man would never slack off when it came to his own safety. Ian himself also brought ten of his men so it would be an equal number.“Just tell me what our business here is so I can get back home sooner.” Charles spoke, slowly losing his patience. He poured
The Mafia Widow Chapter 25: The Secret
"Secrets die but secrecy grows."-Paul Christopher Johnson-***“How did you meet him?” He asked.“I met him through Wilfred. Darius has been working in the household before I was there. He is a good man and I don’t want you to blame him for what he did. He was just trying to protect me.” She answered.“I know, but I don’t like him. Something about him is off.”“What do you mean by that?”“Listen, Victoria. I have known all sorts of people in my life. Even bad people. Murderers, thieves, hitmen, assassin and they have a similar air and presence around them that differentiate them from the rest of the population. When I saw your butler, when he defended you, there was something about him that reminds me of these bad people.”“That’s not possible, Darius is one of the best man I have ever known. He is gentle and sweet mos
The Mafia Widow Chapter 26: The Revelation
"Maybe I'm scared because you mean more to me than any other person. You are everything I think about. Everything I need. Everything I want."-Unknown-***“We already did a background search on the guy you mentioned before, but there was nothing on him. We only knew that he came from an Iranian immigrant parents and was raised in an orphanage until Wilfred took him in but after that, nothing. We couldn’t even find where this man’s academic record.” Lucas reported.“That’s impossible, are you sure about that?” He asked.“Yes, we even tried to find additional information on the internet but this man doesn’t have any digital trace. No email, no social media, nothing. The only thing he has is a phone number but there was only one person on his contact, Victoria. This man is like a ghost.” He stated. It was the moment that all his suspicions were confirmed.There is no way a man cautious enough to hide his identity from the rest of the world except for his childhood background could be a
The Mafia Widow Chapter 27: The First Love
"Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them and they bless you, the giver."-Barbara de Angelis-***A few years ago, after Wilfred was married to Victoria, Darius found himself in a rather awkward position. He was not used to having a woman around the house, as most of Darius’ employees were men except for a few maids that came for a few hours and left.Wilfred had warned him that he could never let Victoria find out the truth about what they did.“She’s a rather innocent woman. Though I am sure she can handle the truth, I would rather let her experience only the light side of this household. If one day I’m gone, things will be a little rough for her, so let her innocence remains for as long as possible.” He told him.During the first year of her marriage with Wilfred, Victoria was so quiet and didn’t speak much around
The Mafia Widow Chapter 28: The Catch
"There's nothing more precious in this world than the feeling of being wanted."-Diana Dors-***“She hasn’t replied to any of my messages or answer my calls. I thought I’ve given her a little warning on my last trip to her office. I thought our relationship were getting better. What else does she want!?” He asked out of frustration.“That’s it, I can’t live like this anymore. I need to visit her in person and make it clear to her that she isn’t going to ignore me like this. I won’t accept it.” That day, he went to visit her house. When it was opened, instead of her, Ian saw Darius.“What are you doing here?” Darius asked with a displeased expression.“I’m meeting with Victoria, back off.” He growled.“I won’t let you do that. You are not going to meet Victoria.” Darius spoke again.“Listen
The Mafia Widow Chapter 29: The Heartache
"No matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief."-Faraaz Kazi-***“She knows about us. She knows about what kind of business we are doing!” Ian slammed a basketball to the wall and it bounced back, almost hitting him but he quickly dodged it and walked away. Lucas who was sitting beside him sighed.“I told you already Ian. That woman is trouble and you let yourself get distracted by your feelings for her. Now she knows about our business, we have no choice but to get rid of her completely.” Lucas suggested.“No, we will not harm her in any way shape and form. I will reach out to her again and talk this through. She has also promised me she won’t tell anyone about our business.” He still defended her despite what happened.Lucas thought his boss must have lost his mind entirely because in the past, he wouldn’t even think twice about murdering anyone who knew and got in the way of their business. Lucas sat down on the couch, rummaging his fingers through
The Mafia Widow Chapter 30: The Shocking Truth
"Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't going away."-Elvis Presley-***“I told you, Madame, this is a really bad idea.” Darius finally expressed himself as they were riding on Lucas’ car to Ian’s house. Victoria already knew it was a bad idea but she couldn’t bring herself to let Ian suffered on his own.She was having a mental conflict, on one hand, he was a murderer but on another hand, she also cared for him. Not long after, they finally arrived at Ian’s house.Darius was on the lookout and he made sure to remain close to Victoria as they entered the house.There were several men with guns on standby but Lucas had told them to do nothing as these two were guests of the house.Victoria entered the house and she saw Ian laying on the bed, he was awake but his face was still pale. A small smile escaped his lips when he saw her and he softly called her name.“I’m glad you’re here Victoria.” She slowly took steps forward. Darius was about to prevent her fr
