The Mafia's Charming Mate 25. ROBBED
|Rocco|It was another night of pain for me. I had yelled at her for wanting to die when I myself do not want to live daily. I understood her pain and everything she was going through because even if our situations were different, the emotional pains it left was the same.I couldn’t imagine how she was coping with her mother being in prison for several years. When Richy brought her profile, I realized that she had gone through a whole lot in the span of those years.Since I rarely have a soft spot for people, I usually do not care about them but she was different. Something about her was soft as snowflakes and screamed to be protected. The only problem was that I didn’t know how to protect her without looking weak.To hell with love, it makes you vulnerable and I cannot afford to be someone like that. At least, not at the moment.That night’s episode of nightmare was terrible. I woke up to all my bed drenched in my own tears and a figure collapsed on my bed, under me.“I didn’t call f
The Mafia's Charming Mate 26. TORTURE
“What? What did you just say?” I flared up and pulled out my drawer to get my gun“Who dares to do that? Who is that fellow that did that?” I growled in anger as I threw my jacket on“The same white Egrets that attacked you the other day. I told you that we should find them and kill them but you were so carried away with many things. Rocco, you should stay focused and don’t let a nobody from nowhere distract…”, she lamented into my ears but I was too pissed to let her continue.I cocked my gun at her with cold eyes, “Don’t make me start the shooting from you. It’s better you keep that trap shut while your head is still intact” I was done with her bitterness. I knew she doesn’t like Irena and she was being protective of me but she had nothing to do with why I didn’t attack them yet. I didn’t see the need to attack at that point but now that they had given me reasons, they better be prepared.“I think getting the boys ready should be the next thing on the list”, I added, coldly and saw
The Mafia's Charming Mate 27. STIRRED UP
“The helicopter is ready on the rooftop. We cannot make it with the car”, Bojana informed me and we moved to the rooftop through the elevator.In ten minutes’ time, we were already at the seashore and indeed, they were there exchanging things in one of the containers at the port.Their men were heavily guarded and surrounded the area so tightly that even an ant would not crawl in unnoticed.“If we go into this without a strategy, we will lose our lives”, Richy warned as our helicopter hovered around the sky“So should I just fold my arms and let them continue transporting the money?”, I shouted at him, cocking my gun“You can stay back, I either get my money or die”, I fumed and fired out of the helicopter as it went lower to the ground to land.Bojana took the hint and also started shooting from her end. We didn’t miss any bullet, all our aims were perfect and precise. In less than three minutes, up to twenty of their men were lying in the pool of their bloods.“We need to cover up fo
The Mafia's Charming Mate 28. APOLOGY
|Irena|Bojana finished supervising my checkup session and didn't fail to irritate and annoy me.“Serves you right. Why would you even make the mistake of entering Rocco's room? Be thankful that you were not sent to your early grave,” she sneered.I didn't know when I released a scoff at her words. I had known her to be annoying, but she was on a different level that morning. It was obvious that she loved what had happened to me. She probably would have giggled at and mocked me when she heard the news of the attack. “Would you have been happily dancing around my coffin?” I spat out, and she shrugged.“I'm not a good dancer, but I'll try my best”, she remarked, and made my inside churn. “You will be fine after the cast gets removed in two days’ time. There's no need to be dramatic about anything”, she concluded, and left the room. I stood in front of the mirror, checking out my neck immediately as she left. I could feel a faint wave of pain around my neck and throat as I swallowed
The Mafia's Charming Mate 29. A NEW FEELING
|Rocco|I slept a lot that day, probably because I was so exhausted. I haven't slept that much and soundly in a long while.I woke up around two in the afternoon with a loud yawn and headed downstairs to have a meal, since I hadn't eaten for over twenty hours. As soon as I got to the sitting room, I saw Irena settling down for a movie, but sprung up immediately she saw me.She didn't say a word and just went straight to her room. I didn't read any meaning to it and just went on with my food before I went over to the safe where my money was being kept.I had kept that many funds in the grave while waiting for the day to use them, but foolish Marcelo made me bring them out prematurely. “The popular mafia boss also called the Tiger of Italy was found dead this morning with a bullet lodged in his glabella. We are yet to know his killer, but we believe this is another clash between the mafia gangs. The police are working tirelessly to narrow down the suspects. Kindly stay tuned as we brin
The Mafia's Charming Mate 30. STEPPING UP
|Bojana|I was so happy with all that happened between Rocco and Irena. When I heard about him strangling her and ran to his room, I was confused at first because Rocco wasn’t someone who would allow anyone come into his room at free will.“Did she warm his bed? Why did he turn so violent towards her?”, I muttered as I rushed to his room.I didn’t hold back on my comment of the incident serving her right when I went to check up on her during her treatment. I also witnessed the way he gifted her several things because he just wanted to apologize to her.The awkwardness and silence between the both of them made me happy because I thought that would drive a wedge between them and our relationship will be back to the way it was before he met her.The Rocco I had always known has always been cold. He doesn’t care about anyone’s feelings and wouldn’t give a fuck that someone was ignoring him but it was different in this case.He kept getting distracted during the meetings and other things t
The Mafia's Charming Mate 31. BROTHERS
|Rocco|Strangely after I apologized to Irena, I felt a certain peace I couldn't describe in words. It was as if a huge burden was lifted off my shoulders. I wouldn't care if anyone jumped into the lagoon or walked through the fire, but I was bothered by the fact that a lady wasn't relating to me as she should.What went wrong?Her back looked calm and gentle as she gazed at the sky while sitting on the balcony. I have seen her do that for about three to four nights, and I couldn’t help but wonder why she was so obsessed with the sky. “You don't have to apologize because I wasn't upset in the first place,” she revealed to me after my apology, and I was dumbfounded. I was flushed with embarrassment because why did I even bother in the first place? She must have caught on and let out a small laugh to ease my tension.“I mean, it's not like what you did to me was laudable, but I wouldn't dwell too much on it because I was also at first. I shouldn't have entered your room or touched you
The Mafia's Charming Mate 32. MEMORIES
|Irena|The gifts and flowers he kept sending only made me laugh. He was a funny man. He would rather apologize with gifts instead of saying it verbally. Well, at least he apologized. He would have gotten away with it and I wouldn’t been able to do anything about the situation even if I wanted. I was thankful for his thoughtfulness.“He still has to apologize verbally. I will not give him an easy pass”, I told myself and prepared to push him to the wall.I made sure to snub his existence and gave him the silent treatment in a way that wouldn’t irritate him but leave him wondering. I would leave his space whenever he comes in and if I had to be there with him, I would pretend as if he never existed.Even while doing all this, I was still keeping tabs on his health. I knew he had something he was battling for him to be that cold and having nightmares that made his sweat and violent like that but I wasn’t curious about exactly what it was.“I wasn’t raised to be nosy or go beyond my boun

The Mafia's Charming Mate 82. PAST
I just realized that we haven’t really discussed Auntie and who exactly she was. She got introduced to me by my mother, and I grew up relying on her when we moved to the town. She helped me so much and brought me to stay with her when my mother got arrested for murder.We didn’t have any situation or opportunity to talk deeper about her, and I had always felt too comfortable to be bothered by all that. All Auntie did in her entire life was cook. She would cook even on days when she was sick to the bones.There was a time she collapsed while cooking because she was doing it nonstop. The funniest thing was that there was no customer to eat all that she had cooked because it was midnight. I came out to have a glass of water and saw her cooking aggressively before she passed out.“You should have just taken it slow. Why were you cooking this hard?” I scolded her as I attended to her in her room“I have to prepare it for them. If not, they might stay hungry the entire year,” she groaned in
The Mafia's Charming Mate 81. MOTHER
The stare of horror on their faces showed how scary my screams and dripping palms were. We all stood there looking at each other, my body trembling with hatred and disbelief. I couldn’t comprehend all that I had just watched. A head banging headache swept me off my feet as my chest rose and fell.Before I knew it, I was on the floor with dim eyes. My body couldn’t bear the weight of oppression from my emotions. I had broken down once again.“Let’s help her up! Irena!” Auntie’s scream barely kept me awake before I passed out finally.I woke up to the fluid being passed in my body and saw the same doctor that treated Rocco during the first gunshot standing close to the door and discussing with the men. I couldn’t hear what they were discussing, and I wasn’t even in the right frame of mind to eavesdrop.“We will talk more about it when she wakes up,” was another line I heard before I slept off again.I woke up to see everyone having dinner, and they all rushed to my side when they saw me
The Mafia's Charming Mate 80. REVELATIONS
|Irena|I realized they were trying to distract us as I cried in the morgue. My mother’s body was filled with several marks that had come from bullying and torturing. It was then it dawned on me that all those bruises I saw when I last visited her were from the maltreatment she had been facing in the correctional center.“What a foolish daughter I am. I didn’t even think deeply into what the bruises could mean. How did I end up believing that she only tripped and wounded herself?” several thoughts filled my mind as we headed to the center to get the rest of her thingRocco held me in his arms as Paul drove the car silently to the location. His soft but huge arms were rubbing my shoulder to keep me calm, but I had so much going on in my head even though my mouth was not moving.The guards at the center were taking longer than usual to attend to my request until Rocco stepped in. I had previously told him to wait for me in the car while I go alone to get her things but when I saw that t
The Mafia's Charming Mate 79. RIPPED
“We have to move faster than their investigations. We have done a lot to keep this buried for years. They cannot just come to ruin all our hard work at this point,” one of the men sitting at a round table with sushi and several sashimi dishes glaring at them.“That’s why we have been taking them out one after the other. We cannot allow any loophole in this operation. One of our men is on the way to give us the report on the progress of the operation,” another responded, reaching for his cup for a drinkThe other men released a uniform groan as they released their ties, buttering their frustrations. They had all been unsettled ever since Irena found the files they had been searching for all year. They had turned the house upside down over and over but none of them could find where her mother kept it.“We already concluded that she didn’t have the file. I don’t understand how that bitch managed to hide the file till her daughter found it. We even had the inmates bully and beat her just
The Mafia's Charming Mate 78. MOVES
|Irena|I couldn’t believe all that I had just heard. My head tried to process it over and over but it felt like it would explode if I thought about it too much. What in the world happened to Rocco? How did he manage to stay calm in all of that? What was the reason behind him keeping quiet and holding back for so long? I had millions of questions running through my head but I couldn’t bring myself to ask him any.“You smart fool!” those were the only words that flew out of my mouth softly. I couldn’t begin to imagine the pain he had been enduringThe day I showed him the picture of my father, his father was also there. How did he not react? Why did he not explain to me and bore the hatred from me? I had hurt him with my words and actions but he never for once tried to bail himself out.“Why did you not tell me? Why did you not point it out that your father was also a victim of Bruno? How did you even manage to stay in that hell and pretend as if nothing was happening?” my tears flowed
The Mafia's Charming Mate 77. VENGANCE
It was around the fourth year of my stay in Italy. At that time, I had bonded with everyone in the villa and became a legal member of the family. My father had started taking me to meetings and made me handle some of his tasks because of how good I was.I couldn’t hide my extreme hatred and disgust at first. It was too hard to pretend. The person that killed my mother was the one I had been adoring, worshipping, and calling father all these while. No doubt, he was also the one that killed my father. He ruined me and my family and also had the nerve to play on my memory.“Is something wrong? You haven’t said anything much or even trained for days ever since you woke up. Are you mad at me for hitting your head on the pole?”Bojana couldn’t stop feeling bad because she thought my attitude changed due to the incident but after assuring her that the accident was not the issue and that I just needed some time to myself, she decided to let me be till I would come around by myself.It took me
The Mafia's Charming Mate 76. ADOPTED
Of course, he was happy at the proposal but he was also someone else’s slave so the uncertainty of his master releasing him was the biggest obstacle.“Thank you..” His eyes lit up with happiness; everyone could tell that the offer gladdened his heart so there was no way he could even turn down the offer or say he wasn’t pleased with it“Once again, thank you for the offer but.. I don’t know… I am” his stuttering got in the line of his statement as he hesitatedHe didn’t want to upset both his master and his new savior. Thankfully, the person he saved already knew what the problem was so he came to the rescue“What? Are you afraid of your master? Do you think he won’t let you go?” he asked and Kovac nodded immediatelyHe had just said what was bothering him and with the look of things, it seemed like the Savior already thought of it too and how he would handle it.The man’s huge hands brushed his hair slightly in adoration as his lips curled into a smile for the first time he had ever
The Mafia's Charming Mate 75. MY SON
He woke up to find the ship fighting for balance in the middle of the sea and after a slight interrogation from two people, he found out that the ship had been sailing for almost a full day and he had been out the whole time.Rushing to the other side of the ship, he tried checking everywhere to see if there would be any face he could recognize but no one seemed familiar until he ran into one of the men that came to Mateha’s house. If he had his memories intact, he would have bolted from the scene before the man saw him, but unfortunately, he got captured before he could even say a word and was locked in the storage for the rest of the day without any food or water.The second day, he was dragged out by one of the hefty men, with his face looking like an overgrown garden because of the multitude of beards attached to his chin. His head was long and high in the center, making everything about his visuals traumatizing.“You think you can go anywhere? We own you now! We are your boss!” h

They marched back into the town and were led by the boy in the hood who knew Marko’s house. Unknown to them, Andrej had told his wife that if he doesn’t come back within the hours of one and two in the morning, she should flee with her son, Kovac.“I think something must have happened; we need to escape right now,” she tapped Irena’s mom, who had dozed off while waiting with her.They didn’t waste any time and rushed up to pack after waking the kids. Thanks to Kovac’s mom, they were able to escape before Bruno’s men came to the house.“Find them! Don’t ever let them get away!” His voice trembled with every word that came out of them as he gulped down the alcohol from the bottle in his hand every minute.They searched for them but couldn’t find them until they had to withdraw at daybreak. Unknown to them, they were hiding at the grandma’s house till the coast was clear. Early at dawn, they rushed to the dock, Marko told them, and took the first boat to Kovac’s town, where they settled
