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

"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

"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

"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

"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
The Mafia Widow Chapter 31: The Disappointment
"Nothing hurts more than being disappointed by the person you thought would never hurt you."-Unknown-***“I know you don’t like Darius, but you have no right to drag him into this matter.” She was getting more and more upset by what she thought was a huge accusation against the people she loved. At the same time, Victoria was a rational woman, she was willing to hear out his reasoning as long as his words made sense.“I told you before, that Darius of yours isn’t the man you think he is. He has a lot of secrets on his hand that I am sure you aren’t aware of. That is a matter for later, but for now, what I want you to know is your husband has not been innocent, so it’s wrong for you to treat me like this when your own husband has kept secrets from you for over ten years.” He reasoned.“I know you wouldn’t believe me, so I suggest you ask that butler. See what kind of answer he will come up with. He probably wouldn’t lie to you if you hit the bullseye but he will do whatever it takes

"There is no use whatsoever trying to help people who do not help themselves. You cannot push anyone up the ladder unless he is willing to climb himself."-Andrew Carneige-***"We have been observing both Ian and the woman you asked us to monitor and it seemed like they are pretty close. They have been meeting each other several times recently but we speculate these two could be dating each other.” The man Catherine hired reported. She was not pleased with the news at all.Yes, there are several women he would casually date here and there but it was never a long term thing and more like a way to kill time. Yet with her, it was different. Catherine knew there had to be something deeper between them.She already got information on who Victoria was and she was aware that Ian must have had some business relations with her as well. However, it must have turned into something much more personal.“I need to pay that woman a visit.” Catherine was determined. When she was about to step out, t
The Mafia Widow Chapter 33: The Assasination Attempt
"The important thing to know about an assasination or an attempted assasination is not who fired the shot, but who paid for the bullet."-Eric Ambler-***It was almost midnight, Darius was done checking every corner of the house when he suddenly heard a sound from above that seemed to come from Victoria’s room.He quickly rushed in there and saw the window’s glass shattering and a little bullet was found on the pillow just a few millimeters beside her.They looked outside and saw a man on top of the roof with a gun. The man noticed he had missed and quickly made an attempt to run away.Still sitting on the bed, Victoria tried to catch her breath. She couldn’t believe that she just escaped death.The man must have aimed for either her neck or her head but missed because she moved during her sleep exactly when he released the bullet. It must have been her good fortune, otherwise, she would be dead by then.“Madame, are you okay? Forgive me, I have been reckless. I should have changed t
