The Mafia's Charming Mate 38. A SHIFT
|Irena|My mouth parted open at his words. The warmness I experienced a few minutes ago evaporated into the thin air. His voice was cold and icy as he agreed with my take. I also didn’t understand why I was annoyed when he mentioned that I was his.“You and your stupid short temper! He didn’t mean it in a bad way,” I scolded myself, biting into my finger as I paced up and down.I felt so stupid for yelling at him that way and got hurt in return. I should have known that he would never let his ego get dragged in the mud. He was petty as well and admitted that we shouldn’t mix business with pleasure.A wave of my job’s realization hit me and I had to put the brawl aside. He just informed me that I would be working as his consigliere. I knew them to be people who settles dispute in the mafia family and also close business deals on their behalf.“Does that mean I will be going with him to meetings? I can’t do that. I will have to know other mafias and their families. I will have to study

It was wild. The bump was fucking crazy. I couldn’t control myself and jumped right into his arms since it was so unexpected. To my own uttermost surprise, he didn’t even react. He was as calm as ever.The suddenness left me shocked at his body even after the car balanced. A sheepish “Mi dispiace capo (I’m sorry Boss)” fell of the driver’s lips as he continued the journey, but I had yet to recover from the shock.Several thoughts ran through my mind in those few minutes. His rock hard and broad chest accommodated my small frame perfectly as I arched my back, pushing my chest right into him.My hand was solidly placed behind his head, pushing into the head of his seat. It was the reflex action of protecting myself from falling if the car happened to bump into another hole at that moment.His eyes slowly opened when my hot breath grazed his neck. The sharpness of his subtle mustache was visible, sticking right into my face. All the features I had seen from afar just a few seconds ago we

My right hand flew to the back in an attempt to attack whoever dragged me that way all of a sudden. The person was also skilled in martial arts because they kept blocking all my attacks. I used all the skills Martins taught me but they were a bit faster than me. That got me mad and persistent, I wanted to see their face so badly. “Who are you?” I hissed, twisting myself to face him and he resisted for a split second before leaving my shoulders and I got to turn and see Rocco standing behind me. I suspected that he was the one but since I wasn’t sure, I needed to be careful and fight back. I didn’t want to die in the hands of a stranger. “Why are you here?” my chest heaving as I tried to control my breath "Ssshhh,” his hand rose to his lips and several bullets rained at the other side of the room, in the hallway We both lied down with immediate effect, my chest thumping against the floor as I tried to figure out what was happening. He crawled to my side and fished out his gun by t

|Rocco|I knew the annual mafia meeting would be a bloody one no matter the preparation, it had always been like that. I had so many meetings with the other families before the general meeting so we could settle disputes, underlying grudges, and also discuss other needed things for a smooth meeting.I was so uncomfortable with the fact that Irena would be going with me but I needed her by my side. Bojana had something urgent to fix, our goods arrived and some defects were detected so she had to sort them out.I also fired my lawyer because I found out some shady dealings he was carrying out underground. Hiring a lawyer out of the blues when the meeting is just the next day would be over dangerous and since she was an aspiring law student, I decided to borrow her for the moment.“Are you sure she can handle this? I can find a way to postpone the goods sorting,” the concern was obvious in Bojana’s voiceIt wasn’t even laced with jealousy this time, she was genuinely concerned about her

Our unplanned romance was short-lived. A glance at the chandelier gave out one of the bastards who was trying to shoot into the room. Quickly, my hand shifted her to the other side, against the wall. Her face was flushed with disappointment but I didn’t have any time to explain before the window came crashing down. A loud yelp escaped her throat as her hands threw themselves over her head. She crouched down immediately, using the bed as a cover because the bullet rain wouldn’t stop.A soft “that was close” played on my dry lips as I crawled to her side to check if she was okay. Although she nodded her head, it was obvious that she wasn’t. Her eyes were wide opened in shock and she rarely blinked. She must have gone into a shock beyond her control because it didn’t seem like she could hear anything or open her mouth where she sat down, trembling.Martins came to the rescue at that moment to inform us that he had cleared a path for us to leave. We couldn’t bear staying in the hotel any

|Irena| Everything about us changed that night. He became gentlier and more loving. I never knew someone as rough, cold, and fierce as him could have such a tender and sweet side. He was always considerate about my own feelings and firm about his. “I know I want you. I want you to be mine. I am not a complete or perfect man so I cannot guarantee you a hundred percent happiness, but I will do my best to make your smile stay forever,” he had promised that evening. I kept blushing in his hold. His huge palms rested on my waist, slightly touching my ass as he pulled me closer to him. Never for once did he break the stare; it felt like I had enchanted him with my eyes. “If you say this, how am I supposed to turn you down?” a small giggle danced in my throat He wouldn't have that. Immediately he countered my statement. “You can't even turn me down because I will stick to you like gum does to the sole of a shoe. You already gave me permission to own you and I will never let you retrac

Martins was silent throughout the ride, and I was so grateful for that. His face wore a worrisome expression, but he restrained himself from asking anything. He must have wanted to ask a lot of questions because of the panic mode I was in, but he held himself back in respect.“The park beside the police station, right?” he asked, snapping me out of my thoughtsI couldn’t pinpoint what exactly the update could be because I had looked for several pieces of information and hints all my life, throughout the five years of the case. Nothing seemed to be out of the blues no matter how I searched. Everything was perfect. It got to a point where I started to doubt if my mom was indeed innocent, like I thought.All the evidence pointed to her. Nothing seemed to be helping in clearing her name, and that dead ends have been the main cause of the problem I was facing. The case was not moving forward, and it felt like my mother would die behind bars."Yes, please, the smart park, right behind the hu

|Rocco|The Mafia’s association has been much tensed for the past few days because of the incident. Everyone kept their cool and laid low. No one wanted to be a waste to the bloodthirsty revenge that the deceased’s families would put up.All businesses were put on hold, and every activities and meetings were suspended for the time being. I didn’t even go to work because I had to put so many things in place.“I just got an update from the other side. There are some people lurking around Palermo to see if they will catch a glimpse of you,” Martins notified meI couldn’t stay sane without burying my head in books, and I didn’t just want to pass time with Irena because she had been working on how to help me as a true consigliere when I resumed work.“That’s not strange. Just try to find out their identity and the group they belong to. If they are a threat, we will know what to do with them, but if they are just here for other businesses, leave them alone. You still have to keep them under

Her body was moved to the morgue, while Rocco was also arrested alongside the other politicians, officers, and everyone involved in the scandal that had broken out. Luca was dead, so there was no way to prosecute him for what he had done.“We just got a video confession sent to the police mail. Ms Bojana confessed to everything,” one of the officers brought in a laptop to the investigation roomThey watched the video and also showed it to Rocco, who couldn’t believe his eyes. Bojana confessed to all the crimes with sufficient conviction that she committed them. She provided evidence of killing the people she killed, filmed Luca’s warehouse, and confirmed that she was in charge of smuggling the drugs and weapons.“All Rocco did all his life was chase the truth of his parents’ deaths. I was the one that joined hands with who placed Rocco on the seat as a puppet. He didn’t do anything. He will be stupid enough to take the blame for me so I am doing this in advance.”Tears rolled down h

That night, Bojana opened her eyes after the anesthesia wore off and jumped down the bed with a groan. The nurse that was attending to her tried to keep her still but she only gave her a jab enough to put her to sleep.“Sorry! I didn’t mean to do this but I had to,” she whispered, helping the unconscious nurse on the bed so she could sleep properly before she rushed outHer first stop was a clothes shop, where she purchased black leather pants and a jacket.“Bring me the bike. If you tell anyone, I will kill you with my own hands,” she placed a call through to one of the men who was working with her in the automobile shop.Fifteen minutes later, the guy showed up with the motorcycle and a small briefcase he placed at the back.“Everything is intact. Please stay safe.”Ignoring his line, she jumped on the bike and fixed her helmet before she zoomed off“She’s in a murderous mode. I’m so sorry,” the man panicked as he watched her disappear into the street.***After a fifteen-minute rid

Martin made sure all the dead men were given a befitting burial and took Bojana to one of the biggest hospitals.“Do everything to save her. I will make sure you get compensated handsomely.” He had instructed one of the doctors who got to work immediatelyThey had to wheel her to the theater, where they operated on her wounds and every other part that needed to be fixed before she was wheeled to the intensive care unit for further treatments and proper monitoring.Her recuperation was fast; it was obvious that she desired to live desperately. He couldn’t understand how she got to the front of the villa but a deep side of him was glad to see her again. He had been worried about her and where she could be. Also, from her appearance, one could see that she had been tortured brutally. All her body was filled with bruises and wounds. Her breathing was barely coming up; she was almost dead.“She got hurt a lot from the people who did this to her but her life is no longer in danger. However,

Martin explained that he had gathered the men in the house to prepare them for the trip the following morning while he went out to meet with some of our businessmen. I made sure my absence didn’t affect our normal business so I put Martins in charge of the deals and meetings.“Tell them I went on a business trip whenever they ask of me,” I had given him that instruction while I was living with Irena in order to recover completely before coming back to the houseThe attacks were too sudden and also happened in a very short time interval so my body felt the hit more than it should. Irena also wouldn’t release me because she was afraid something else might happen to me while recuperating.“Luca is not going to stop until someone stops him. I know it is hard to lose your men; your feelings are valid but you know that we also need to move faster than them before they get their hands on the file,” she preached as I clutched my phone in my hands“Make sure Bojana is treated back to life.

The sound of water dropping into the bucket placed under a leaking roof filled the atmosphere. The rotten and rusty smell of metals that had been immersed in liquids took over the air as the door to the basement gave way with a huge cranky noise.Men murmuring from afar was heard before it became closer with every of their steps. Within three minutes of intense marching and walking, they were finally in the large room that looked like an abandoned warehouse.“Let her down,” the coarse voice commanded, followed by the trooping sounds of legs that rushed to the rope’s controller.“I didn’t mean to go this far but what do we do? You just wouldn’t talk. I felt bad for hurting you but the information I need from is more important to me.” his legs found their way to the prisoner’s side as he voiced his concernsA soft groan dropped off her lips as she tried crawling to a comfortable position. Her legs had failed her when she tried to stand so she ended up using her knees.“Do you think Rocc

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 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

“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
