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 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

"Love, like destiny, loves surprises."-Amelia Barr-***Victoria woke up that morning feeling incredibly strange. She realized that both her dress and her bed sheets had been changed. She didn’t realize any of those things happening and why would anyone do that?She also felt like she was sleeping a lot deeper that night. Amid her confusion, there was a knock on her door and it was opened. Darius stepped inside the room with a tray of tea, water and some light condiment.“Good morning, madame. I have brought some refreshment for you since you’ve been through a lot yesterday. I think you may want to take these first.” He suggested. It wasn’t something he would normally do so she wondered why Darius was suddenly acting that way.“Thank you, Darius. However, I have a question for you.” She stated after she drank water. It’s important to stay hydrated.“Why is my clothes and bed sheet different from last night? Did you change it?” She asked him. Darius never wanted to lie to her so he ad

"Sometimes, after a storm, people say there was no warning. There was a warning, but nobody was listening."-Jeff Last-***“Fine, I will tell you, but I don’t think there is much you can do with this information anyway.” She replied back. Darius didn’t like the idea of it at all, but Ian thought differently.“You never really know until you try.” He replied back. Victoria exchanged a gaze with Darius and reassured him that it would be fine. Even if Ian had evil intention, she wanted to believe he wouldn’t try to make her life more miserable than it was already.“Two days ago, someone made an assassination attempt on me when I was sleeping. It was something we never predicted. I almost got killed but managed to survive because I moved right when the bullet was about to hit me. It was a really close call.” She got the chills as she recalled what happened that night.

"Happiness is the art of relaxation."-Maxwell Maltz-***“I miss you so much, we haven’t been able to spend time recently because both of us have been so busy. My God!” Liana squealed as she hugged her friend. The two of them hadn’t spent time together in a very long time.They used to be so close to each other, but since a lot of things had happened in both of their lives, they just hadn’t been able to find the time to meet each other.“Yes, things have been quite crazy. I almost died a week ago, but fortunately, everything is fine now.” She reassured her. Upon hearing that, Liana was shocked. But she was not going to overreact either.One thing that made their friendship lasted for so long was how both of them were used to each other’s crazy lives and stories. They both could went deep in a conversation and still remained friends.The sad truth about most peo

"Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a meaning."-Unknown-***Victoria was back from shopping and she went to check the time. It turned out there was still some time for dinner with Ian. Darius who saw her looking at her phone about to call someone immediately noticed what was happening.“Madame, you don’t have to call him. You can just make up all sort of excuse to not see him. That man isn’t good for you, Madame.” He said in almost a pleading tone.“I’ve made my promise and I need to do what I can to fulfill it.” She hated lying and would try to avoid it on as many chances as possible. As much as she didn’t want to admit it, she had to fulfill her promise.She picked up her phone and called Ian. The man picked up within seconds. He must be expecting her as well. His husky voice was heard from the other side of the line.“I knew you would call me. I have made a reservation at your favorite restaurant. If you want to, I can come there and pick you up.” He offer

"The most important conversation is the one you have with yourself."-David Goggins-***Victoria was taking her usual five minutes break and decided to check her phone when she saw ten new messages and five missed calls from Ian. She swore that man was incredibly persistent.She had tried to ignore him again since that evening because she thought the idea of him proposing to her was absolutely ridiculous.At the same time, she couldn’t deny that there was a curious part inside of her that wondered what would happen if she was to say yes to the proposal. She knew it was probably just the feminine nature in her speaking.She thought to herself, it was impossible to be with Ian considering what he did for a living. She didn’t want to live a dangerous life on the dark side.Constantly worrying about whether or not someone would just come up and kill her in her sleep. Something she always imagined tho

The Mafia Widow Alt Ending: Darius & Victoria
"There is always a choice, even if the alternatives don't appear to be equal."-Garth Nix-***After Darius rescued her, they were supposed to go to where Ian was. However, in the middle of running, Darius suddenly grabbed her hand and made her look at him in the eyes. The sudden gesture surprised Victoria.There was something in the man’s eyes. It was a deep longing and a little bit of pain in his eyes.“Darius, what are you doing?” She asked, confused.“We need to hurry back to Ian.” She continued.“Madame, I can’t live like this anymore. I can’t keep watching you get yourself in danger because of that man. You deserve better, Madame.” He finally admitted it directly to her face.“Darius, what do you mean by that? This isn’t the time for jokes. We have to get out of here.” She reminded him calmly.“I am being extremely serious right now. There are still things you don’t know about me, Madame, but if you want to, I can help you disappear. I can help us disappear.” He proposed.“What
The Mafia Widow Epilogue
"Love is like the wind, you can't see it but you can feel it." -Nicholas Sparks-***A month had passed since Victoria was kidnapped. They made a few adjustments after that day starting from the security and Ian had been quite brutal and launched several attacks on his enemies to ensure none of them could hurt Victoria.It had been a rather chaotic month and Victoria didn’t even go out that often except for work because she was worried for her own safety. But one day, she was getting sick and tired of it so she approached Ian with a sulking look. She told him,“I can’t do this anymore. I need to get out. I’ve been suffocating with this kind of life.” Ian who could understand her perfectly agreed.“Okay, I know I’ve been too strict with the security lately but it’s for your own good. However, I also know I can’t keep you all locked up so you know what? Let’s have a vacation.” And that was how she ended up on the private jet on her way to Athens, Greece.He booked a five-star resort in
The Mafia Widow Chapter 54: The Lunch Conversation
"I belong to the people I love and they belong to me. They and the love and loyalty I give them, form my identity far more than any word or group ever could." -Veronica Roth- *** Victoria walked out of the building and rushed over to Ian side. When Ian saw her, he was relieved. Darren was baffled because he didn’t expect her to be out of the room so quickly. There was a man he had never met before, it was Darius following behind her with a huge gun on his hand to guard her so no one could shoot her as she approached Ian. Once she was safe in Ian’s arm, it was time for Ian and Victoria to flip the situation. “You have crossed your boundaries, Darren. You dared to kidnap my wife, my woman. You will be paying for it.” Without thinking twice, Ian pulled a gun and shot him. Even though Darren also had a few big men around him, none of them could protect him from Ian, who carried his own army of soldiers with him. It might seem to easy, but time slowed down for Victoria who witnessed
The Mafia Widow Chapter 53: The Abduction
"Unexpected events can set you back or set you up. It's all a matter of perspective." -Mary Anne Radmacher- *** Victoria and Ian was attending a business party held by his associate. It was a grand party with a lot of guests, quite crowded but since the space was vast, it didn’t feel suffocating. Victoria was wearing a beautiful sapphire dress with silver crystal on the top part. It fit her curves perfectly. She was innately more of an introvert but since she was married with Ian, she made the attempt to keep up with him here and there. Since she was also in business, it wasn’t that difficult. But the long time spent with socializing was taking a toll on her. She needed some alone and quiet space from the hustle and bustle of the party. She headed to the bathroom and tried to gather her thought together. She washed her hand on the sink and reapplied her lipstick for the evening. The only thing on her mind was she wanted to go back home because she wasn’t feeling her absolute be
The Mafia Widow Chapter 52: The Explosion
"Taking bold, focused action creates explosive results."-John Di Lemme-***A few months had passed since Victoria got married to Ian and she was slowly getting used to the married life again.A lot of things had happened and she was starting to see the difference and compared her current life with her old ones just as a self-analysis.During her first marriage, she was the youthful princess of the household and this time, she was the queen. It was definitely different, but it didn’t matter since she enjoyed both sides. Ian was a surprisingly gentle husband considering his personality.It was not something she would expect from him. The relationship between the two of them had indeed became a lot closer than before.As Victoria tried to keep an open mind about the relationship and did her best to understand Ian.They were already married anyway, what other choice did she have but to try and make it work?Darius had also been on his best behavior.

The Mafia Widow Chapter 51: The Mutual Dislike
"Nothing is more common than mutual dislike where mutual approbation is particularly expected."-Samuel Johnson-***“It’s a pleasure to meet you again. I almost couldn’t believe myself when Ian agreed to have dinner with me. It has been a long time.” Darren greeted them with a huge smile on his face. Victoria politely smiled back at him while Ian pulled her seat so she could sit down and then he sat down in between the two of them.“I appreciate your invitation but I believe we shouldn’t waste each other’s time as much. Tell me, what is the reason for this dinner. Surely you wouldn’t just invite us out on a good whim, would you?” Ian didn’t even bother to hide it. He could be a little impatient indeed.“I just thought maybe we could have a better relationship moving forward. Nothing wrong with rekindling with an old friend, now, is there?” The waiter came before they could make a reply and they made their order first before continuing with the conversation.“Sure, but I am sure that
The Mafia Widow Chapter 50: The Unknown Scheme
"Schemes are like fruit, they require a certain ripening."-George R.R. Martin-***“What is this?” Ian asked when Lucas came with an invitation letter in his hand.“It’s from Darren Quinston. The man is inviting both you and Victoria to have dinner with him.” Lucas replied.“What? Why would he do something like this? That man has never reached out to me in the last few months.So why would he suddenly take interest in my business after I am married?” He questioned even though Ian already knew the answer deep down. Darren was definitely scheming something.Even though the two of them already made a treaty to stay out of each other’s business, something was definitely shifting in the time when Ian was busy with Victoria.It was something he couldn’t predict yet but he knew right away he needed to be careful about the way he handled this.One w
The Mafia Widow Chapter 49: The After Wedding
"The best romance is inside marriage. The finest love story comes after the wedding, not before."-Irving Stone-***Darius couldn’t sleep that night after the wedding day. His mind kept wandering toward Victoria and he wondered if she was doing the deeds with Ian at the moment in their hotel room.Just thinking about it was enough to drive him mad and he wasn’t even the reactive kind. He always managed to compose himself since it was all that was necessary, but this time, he found it difficult to just remain idle in his room.It was so difficult for him to suppress his feelings. He hated the thought of that man touching her.He couldn’t stand it, he decided to go to the balcony and pulled up a piece of cigarette and lit it up. He didn’t like smoking for the most part but this time he thought he definitely needed it.As he reflected back on what happened, he recalled on how beautiful she looked in her wedding dress. She looked like an angel. Victoria has always been beautiful but she
