Every night, it was either Xavier came back late, maybe at a time she was deep in sleep or he wouldn't cone home at all, he awoke early too and the only chance she had to actually see him was at the office and he was not always around. This was good right? At least he wasn't treating her as a slave or a whore, at least he gave her the respect she wanted, but now she wanted more. Once she had thought that this all she would ever need, all she would ever ask for but now she discovered that she wanted more, she wanted more than just his respect, she wanted love, she wanted him to be close, to hold her, she wanted to come back from work in the evening and talk to her husband about what happened at work, she wanted to go on dates- or at least go to places together with him, she wanted so much and everyday when Shawn rode her to work, it became more clearer that those thoughts were just wishful. It would never happen. She was married to a Mafia Leader who had to travel places, he had too muc
Walking closer to the main room, she heard a familiar voice. Diana. What was Diana doing here? Just as she had thought, Diana was seated there, laughing at a joke Shawn had maid, before shoving him roughly away. “Hey. Keep your gorilla hands off me” Shawn said rubbing his arm where Diana had hit him “Soon you’ll be pleading for it” Shawn smirked, “Then be rest assured”. Diana visibly straightened when Amelia walked in. “What are you doing here?” “I just came to check on you…” “Are you denying me?” Shawn asked with mock surprise. “I never knew you were so ashamed to tell her I invited you over to be my date at the party” Diana shoved Shawn again and he muttered something like “Gorilla fists” “Is that so?” Amelia asked with a wide grin, her tongue itching to tell Shawn all what Diana had been saying about him for the past months. “I never knew you were interested”, she said with a wider grin. “Oh. Don’t you dare give me the I TOLD YOU SO look” “I wasn’t doing any of that
She was so damn beautiful, though he could see the effort it took for her to walk on those very high heels, he knew Amelia- she didn't like anything that discomforted her so he wondered. She still looked beautiful with or without the makeup. He had bought this dress for her and he was worried it wouldn't match her as she had a petite frame but it did fit her so well. If she knew the price of that very dress, she wouldn't even let it kiss the floor or maybe she would have refused the gift, that's why he had taken it upon himself to remove the price tag. Amelia was his wife and she should be envied but now he wished he bought something Mir covering. it showed off too much- he had never been bothered about a thing like this but now he was, she had a sizable breast and her cleavages was partly left in the open. He felt like reaping out the eyes of every man in the hall. He saw how they watched her hungrily, with lust filled eyes, she was like a lamb among wolves, but he could see the ef
Her feet hurt, she walked to one of the bar stool and took a seat. This party was so overwhelming, Diana was wasted, she tried forcing Amelia to take more of those strange drinks but she refused her many offers. Xavier had told her that this was a dangerous place and she couldn’t afford to be drunk here.Xavier had gone to talk with some other groups of men but she didn’t want to go with him.She promised herself never to wear these killer heels ever again.Watching Shawn and Diana, she wondered how it would be like when Diana discovered who Shawn was, who all three of them were. Mafia leaders. They killed people and she wondered if Shawn was planning to ever tell her. She wondered if Diana would fear him, when she discovered the truth, but of course, that would be the last thing Diana would ever do, and she had this kind of confidence and bravery. She wouldn’t cower against any man or woman, no matter how dangerous they think they are. But the question would be, will she still stay w
“I would have loved to speak with you but it seems like you were in a haste and so… here I am, but with a different intention in mind” “In a girl’s bathroom?, what the hell do you want?” she said, trying to sound bold- even if she didn’t feel it. “We both know what I want, what else would a man want with a woman behind closed doors?” Now the fear set in, she looked around, for anything that she could use as a weapon. There was this feeling of helplessness creeping deeper into her bones, she could not stand against this man. He was so young, yet already corrupted with the greed of life and even if this wasn’t the right time she thought on how her own children would be raised. “You wouldn’t dare, Xavier would kill you” she sneered but he only laughed. “Of course I know that and that’s exactly why I’m doing this, so he would come at us” “You said you were his friend” she knew he had lied but still she had to stall for time. “So bad that he don’t talk about his business with you,
Shawn drove her to work.After the incident a few weeks ago, Xavier had gotten a little bit more protective of her. She wasn’t allowed to walk the streets all by herself when it was late- not like she had been doing that before. “Amelia” Shawn called, “What do you think about Diana?”She smirked wiggling her eyebrow the way Shawn usually did. She doubt it would look as cool as he’s as he had really full eyebrow and he sometimes compared them to that of Red in the Angry Birds Cartoon.“She’s an awesome person, with good qualities and the perfect…”Shawn cut her off, “What the hell was I thinking, you would never talk bad about your friend, but it truly hurts that you love her more than me” he said with a pout and they both busted into fits of laughter. That was indeed true- not the second part though.“Shawn… she loves you”“She don’t always behave it”“Don’t mind it at all” she shuffled closer, “let me tell you something about we ladies, we have our way with men, we prefer playing ha
(AMELIA)She tapped on her phone, texting Diana who had taken a sick leave for the day. Dian told her that she was almost as good as new now and it was just a slight headache which had already seized. Amelia advised her to rest for the day bit she refused, then a call came in, it was Xavier, and she picked it up.“Amelia, are you alright?” he sounded… relieved. Like had had expected her not to pick up.“Yes of course, why?”He took in a deep breath, loud enough for her to hear.“Nothing. Just as you’ve said, I can’t seem to go a few hours without you”“I got the note you left on the table so I understand. Would you be coming to work today?”“Yes. Of course”They talked a little before she ended the call.Why was he so worried, he had asked her if she was ‘Okay’ about three times, an she had assured him that she was fine, laughing it out.She could have told Xavier to get some more pregnancy pills, she had used up the last one some days ago.Xavier had decided that she use them for the
Shawn looked paled, Blake looked worst and he wondered how he would look. If he had been with her, if he had protected her like he promised, this would never have happened, they would both be at work, she’ll still have those beautiful smile on her face.There was this feelings eating at his insides, he couldn’t even understand what it was, Shock?, Loneliness?, Pain?, Anger?, Regret? or all of them.Shawn walked to him, patting his back, trying to comfort him, but he did know one thing, he didn’t want sympathy, he shrugged Shawn’s hands off.Rage. That’s what he felt. Oh, the mother fucker, Shefung. He was already a corpse. He walked out of the hospital, this time Shawn and Blake didn’t follow, a part of him was glad that they understood that blood was what he was thirsty for and it would be a unfortunate incident if he ended up pouring his rage on them.He drove pass the speed limit, not caring about the car he bumped into on his way or the car glasses he broke with his reckless driv
EpilogueIt was raining, it was like the sky too grieved, the only thing that broke the silence was Diana screams as she struggled against the men holding her back, she wanted to run to Shawn's coffin, Amelia should have been there to comfort her, but she couldn't she felt so much guilt, if Shawn had not given her his bullet proof vest, maybe he would still be alive, if he hadn't come to save her, he would still be alive with Diana, they were the perfect match, but he wasn't. The words the priest spoke were all jumbled up in her own ears, she couldn't pick one word, save for the last statement the priest made before Shawn's coffin was put under."He would always be alive in our heart and soul, though his dead, he lives on"Xavier held me to his chest as he walked to the stand, it was his turn."Shawn had been a good friend, a friend better than a brother, he was always there to make everyone smile, even in a dark day, he was like a shinning light, he would remain forever in out heart"
Gun shots awoke her and she scrammbled to her feet, her heart beating fast, they were here, they were here to rescue her, she rushed to the door with renewed strength, slamming at it as she screamed out, they needed to know she was there, but then the door is unlocked by someone and she almost scream in joy, but then standing there wasn't Xavier, but Matteo, just a few days ago he had tried getting some news about Xavier and his businesses out of her but the truth was that she knew nothing and even if she did, she couldn't talk, that had earned her some punches to her face, but she took it, just so he wouldn't hit her any where near her stomach, she knew cases like that could lead to miscarriages.He held her by the neck, pointing a gun to her head, the gold metal against her head brought back the fear."Please", she begged, "Please just let me go""Shut up you bitch he roared, back handing her, the slap stung and the sheer force of threw her whole body against the wall."My baby" she
(Amelia)He had predator eyes, watching me curiously."You didn't ask who changed your clothes honey, but I would say you are beautiful inside and out"She stared down at her clothes, she was filled with anger and furry."You should be ashamed of yourself little boy""Tsk, Tsk, there is nothing little about me and I can show you how much of a man I am and I have nothing to be ashamed off, you are the one to keep those pretty mouth of your shut or else" he smirked taking out his gun from the back, she hadn't seen it all this while."I could be a fun person to joke with but don't cross those boundaries if not I'll make a mess out of you""Please just let me out and I promise I wouldn't tell anyone"He laughed, a little mockery, "I wouldn't do that, but even if I wanted to I can't""All you have to do is let me out, I would do the rest""You would get killed the moment you are seen running, the moment you step your foot out that door""They can't kill me yet, they need something to draw
She woke up, as soon as she opened her eyes, she noticed that this wasn't her room, this wasn't the room she shared with Xavier and then it all came rushing in, the black car racing after her, the material to her nose and then she had fallen unconsious, she was on a.... bed.She jerked up, fully alert, she noticed she was in a new set of clothes, a thin fabricated gown, someone had undressed her and maybe done things, but she didn't feel any pain still yet she couldn't kick out the fear she felt, she had been captured by a rival.She knew that Mafias were dangerous and the only reason Xavier, Shawn and Blake seemed to be nice was because they didn't actually want her to see them in a bad light, but this 'other' people, they didn't care, they didn't care what happened to her, all the stories she read about mafia's rushed back in, and no, it wasn't the bloody sheet stuff, this time it was more on the violence, they endorsed so much violence that it seemed normal to them, she stood from t
(Amelia)What she didn't expect was for him to walk away after all she said to him and she just couldn't do it anymore, couldn't wait for the time he would finally see fit to forgive her, she needed air, she needed to get out of this place, if he needed space, if he wasn't ready to forgive her, if she was and would always be an Irritation to him, then maybe he was right, it was better she leave, but she didn't want him renting a house for her, she didn't want her unborn child to have to suffer all these, she wanted her child to have the love of a parent, she was ready to raise him alone, she have never depended on Xavier and so she had been saving all she got from her job at Neon Fashion and it was enough to start up something, but she had to escape and she knew the guards would inform him if she did, so she snucked, following the back door, they might as well think she was just taking a simple walk through the garden... at night, but from her time here she had noticed the few passway
He hadn't been home lately, always out and she needed to have a talk with him, she wanted to mend things the best she could but it was like he wasn't even ready to give her that chance, she felt broken inside, she needed him, she needed someone to talk to, anyone, she had never felt so confused in her life, she had a baby, she was pregnant, she should be happy, that's what she repeated to herself over and over again, but she wasn't, she couldnt be happy, no matter how hard she tried, it just wouldn't happen.A knock on her door draws her attention, she doesn't answer but the door is pushed open and Diana enters, she had been avoiding seeing anyone lately, most especially Diana, she couldn't look her in the face to tell her that all this while she had been lying, all this while she had been pretending to be someone else, she never told Diana the truth, that she had been forced to marry Xavier, though she saw the questions in her eyes every single time, Diana never pushed her, now she
(Mel's POV)She layed in her bathtube, shedding tears, it had all come down to nothing, she had been stupid and she couldn't even understand what really got into her, how could she have done that to Amelia, it was like there had been a fold, blinding her and now it had been taken off and she had to face the reality of her actions. At the end she had gained nothing, she never knew Amelia had just recovered from a coma, she never knew her friend had been struggling every single day of her life, Amelia had tried explaining it to her but she had turned a deaf ear and now it all settled in, she felt like a hypocrite, the deed had been done, Amelia had lost Xavier, she had gotten nothing but a broken relationship and more guilt to carry, it was too much.A few years ago she was the Mel who had everything she could ever ask for, she was the Mel who lacked nothing, the girl everyone was after, the most popular girl at school, she was everything, she was living the life of her dreams and now h
(Amelia)She hadn't discovered the time she had slept off, but she woke up with a jerk, rushing to the toilet, she threw up and when she was finished she washed up before returning back to the room.Something was very wrong, could it be stress?, she wasn't the type to get sick easily, but again yesterday's event had hitten hard and maybe that was the cause.Then the door is thrown open and he walks in and her hearts slams faster against her chest, but he walked passed her like she didn't even exist, like she wasn't there, he didn't look drunk anymore and maybe this was the time she had been waiting for, when she would have to explain."Xavier" she called"Don't" he said walking past her again and heading to the dressing room."I have the right to explain myself Xavier, all you have to do is listen, it doesn't have to change anything, I just have to explain""There is nothing I want to hear from you and you have no right so i would advise you to shut the fuck up and leave me in peace"
(Amelia)She sat in her room, tear dripping down her eyes, she always knew this would all come to bite her in the ass one day, but never did she think it would hurt this bad, there was just something in his eyes, there was just something about the look in his eyes, the hurt and the pain, she laid awake all night, but he never came back home, she wondered where he was and what he was doing, she couldn't sleep, she couldn't even think of any other thing.As soon as he had left she had gone straight to her room and Shawn had not tried holding her back this time, he let her, but now he was here and she really did needed someone to talk to, she felt so ashamed of herself yet afraid to let him in, what happens when he found out?, would he also hate her and push her away?He surely would be disappointed in her, but he never left, he stood there right infront of her door, waiting for her to let him in, so she stood and walked to the door, she let him in."I didn't mean to hurt him, I'm sorry,
