The Mafia's Crazy Obsession 14
AbelI woke up the next morning at exactly five o'clock. For the first time in the last three weeks, I slept an eight-hour-long, deep fulfilling sleep. It was an achievement, considering my usual two-three hours stints. It was a cold morning, and I lay there clutching the blanket tight around my neck, keeping my eyes closed, and wishing I could sleep off again. Fewer hours to get through the damn day, if I could sleep them off. But it wasn't happening. Instead, I grew more irritated with my morning breath.My cell phone beeped on the nightstand, startling me. I picked it up, double-tapping on the screen. It was a text from Andrew, and from the looks of the first few words visible, I could tell that he was still pissed about the meeting. I rolled my eyes as I unlocked my phone and deleted the message, without even reading it to the last word.I yawned and drew the covers back, sitting up. Rising to my feet, I rubbed my eyes as I sauntered naked over to the window, pulling the curtain a

Abel“Solana, wait up!” I called out when we drew near the kitchen door, the huge brown double doors that led to the dining room wide ajar. She swiveled around once to scoff at me, then ran straight into the house.I chased after her hotly, almost knocking over a maid who was busy shuffling around in the kitchen and setting things for breakfast. “Sorry!”“Solana!” I shouted, only a few steps behind her now. She panted as she went up the stairs two at a time, her chest heaving, and her speed and agility quite incredible for a girl. She suddenly missed a foot, a cry wringing past her lips as she fell, almost hitting her forehead on the edge of a stair when I reached out and caught her by the waist, lifting her, holding her close to my chest. She clung to me, her breathing heavy and I realized why she'd run away. Her face glistened, stained with tears and a few drops of mucus fell from her nose — the effect of the cold morning. Her eyes were puffy, face flushed scarlet.She shifted her e

AbelI left her to stew while I showered. I'd never quite placed her to be such a trickster. She had me fooled with that kiss, with the thought that finally, I had her cornered. Had her submission. I'd thought she'd loved it at first, though she'd felt something. Maybe she had, at first. But then, the sense of her loyalty and sheer dislike for anything that had to do with me had prompted her to strike.Regardless, I was going to have the last laugh anyway. Sliding on new black shorts, I smirked as I thought about how best to punish her. I wanted to put her through something pleasurable, yet painful. Make her understand who was the master here.I tossed away the towel I'd been using to dry my hair on the bed and strode briskly toward the locked door that connected our rooms. I inserted the key into the lock and turned it, pushing the door open. She lay on her side, her dark curls spread all around the pillow, now dressed in nothing but a thin, pink see-through nightie that stopped just

Abel“What?” She asked brows knitted together as she stared up at me, yet she didn't try to resist as I worked my knees between hers, widening them a little, keeping my eyes leveled on her.“I already told you I'm not going to fuck you. I just want to see it. Get a clearer, better picture. Now lie back, sunflower.”She drew in a sudden breath, but obeyed, slowly, watching me as I took her all in. I muttered a cuss, dropping to my knees as though in worship. She allowed me to spread her legs wide apart in the air and presented me with the most beautiful sight of her pussy opening to me, the pink lips glistening, gaping, her clit swollen.Fuck, I shut my eyes and inhaled deeply. She was aroused. My cock was so stiff, it strained against my shorts, ready to burst out. I placed one hand against her chest, cupping a breast with my palm so I could hold her down as well as play with the nipple. I brought my mouth down to her and felt her curious gaze on top of my head as I dragged my tongue

Solana For me, he was worse than the devil.Abel sat across from me with a huge grin on his face, his brows etched in concentration on the piece of sausage he was quietly chomping on. I tore my bread into halves, spread some jam over the insides, and smashed them together, glaring at him. He was gloating, rubbing my submission on my face.Ugh.“I hate you so fucking much. You're nothing but a monster.”I knew my words didn't make any difference, and I hated myself more for letting everything take place. How could I cower before him all of a sudden? How could I have blindly obeyed everything he demanded of me? He'd driven me insane and made me cum five times. Five times, and I'd felt... Damn, what exactly had I felt for him? He'd only made me come. He'd only shown me the thrill of having his tongue on my pussy lips. Everything was purely physical. Every feeling was sexual.“You had way better reviews about me a little while ago, sweetheart.” He smirked, biting into his butter-smeared

Solana “Are you even hearing yourself out, Abel? I must obey you without question, because why? To massage your fragile ego? To make you feel superior? To fuel your arrogance and make you feel big? You're out of your mind if you think I'm going to do that.” “Well, you have no choice, sunflower. You either heed my words and do things my way, or face the consequences. And I promise you, this time, it'll be triple times worse than what we did back in your bedroom earlier.” I snorted, shoving down my unease. “Cool. Are you done?” His brows creased in annoyance. “No. We're not done.” I yawned and turned my hand to inspect my nails idly, waiting. “I've asked someone to go get you a new iPhone while will be arriving — ” “Thanks, but I don't need it. I have mine, and it's still intact,” I said without missing a beat. His jaw tightened, and his eyes blazed with fury, but he held himself, maybe a little too calmly. “I see no harm in owning a second, sleeker one. You're free to have visit

AbelSo many thoughts swirled in my mind. So many emotions curling themselves around my guts and squeezing so tight I couldn't breathe properly. I needed an outlet. I needed something to pour my anger on. I needed to be far away from the house, and her as soon as possible.And so I did what I did best whenever I was confused.I drove.I walked down the stairs quickly, out the entrance, toward the expansive ten-car garage building that was built separately from the house. Taking the keys from the tall, glass box that was always locked in the corner, I strode towards the Porsche and clambered in. Inserting the key into the ignition, I turned it, the engine crisp and sharp in the early morning haze and quiet. The gates pulled open and the tires screeched as I drove out of the property, onto the wide, lonely single-lane road. I sighed in contentment, enjoying the rush as my body pressed back tightly into the seat, the car's powerful engine roaring, taking the turns closely, my feet pressi
The Mafia's Crazy Obsession 21
AbelI got back into the car, revved up the engine, and started the two-hour-long drive down to the cemetery at the outskirts of town. I visited it more often than I should, more often than my father and brothers did. Parking the Porsche close to the family plot, I climbed out. It was already noon, and the heat and humidity hung thickly in the air, suffocating and uncomfortable after the air-conditioned drive. I went over to the flower stand operated by a burly, elderly woman and purchased a dozen white Calla lillies — they were Abigail's favourite, and began the walk up the small hill. The wet grass yielded beneath my feet, soft and covered in moss. A thick black gate surrounded the plot of land housing a large number of the deceased Stravkos family. I strode my usual path silently, noting the names of the dead in my head, how many years they'd spent on earth before their demise — so many not even up to forty. Too many damn lives cut short. Too many untimely deaths. Too many more, y

The Mafia's Crazy Obsession Epilogue
AbelWe didn't speak for the rest of the drive. There were so many things to say, so many demons to confront, and they hovered right above up, making the air thick with a dense foreboding. Once we reached the mansion, I climbed out of the car, and straightened my shirt, clutching the envelope containing the new contract. It was not necessary getting Father to sign it — his signature mattered less — but for closure to be properly achieved, I had to do it this way.“Ready, sweetheart?”Before I could nod and respond, Lana wound her arm through mine. Since I got shot, we'd gotten much closer to each other. We enjoyed each other's company, craved each other's opinions and bodies, and when she did stuff like this, touching me like this, it made me feel lucky, special. It made my heartbeat quicken, my heart filling with a joy I'd never thought possible.I pulled her back. “You don't have to go in with me. I won't waste any time. Once he signs it, I'm getting right out of there.” I watched h

AbelFulfilling my promise to Lana had got to be the most liberating thing I'd ever done.It took away the guilt I'd felt on that day I saw her for the first time; star-strucked by those bright-eyes that dimmed when her father announced the purpose of our visit with tears in his eyes. It took away the feeling of possessiveness — the need to control her. It took away a lot of things I wasn't proud about, and left me with a warm glow in my chest. What it didn't take away, however, was my ever-increasing love for her.Andre came over to the house the following morning, and handed me the initial contract she and I had signed. I couldn't look at it — I set it aside, and had him draw up a new one. This one wrote off any debt the Williams family owed any Stravkos, real or perceived, and the two families were no longer bound in any way. In any form. I also directed him, to make that part possible to be overturned in the future at any time.I signed it immediately and had a copy sent to Helen

SolanaAbel moved into the guest room downstairs while he recovered. The doctor was against him stressing himself, and climbing stairs would be fatal to his health since he was still very much fragile. I moved into the room with him and slept beside him, taking extreme care not to touch the still tender spot the bullet had ripped into. I knew he still felt pain, but insisted on less and less medication, saying he could wing it. After a day of being home, he could walk to the bathroom and house entrance on his own, although it wore him out.“This is sickening,” he complained a week later after one of his visits to the bathroom. I looked up at him from where I was sitting on the bed. “I hate being weak. That's not the Stravkos way.”He lay back down and I helped him tuck the blanket up to his waist. “Stop whining. You're getting stronger everyday. I can feel it.”“Well I can't feel anything but my weak bones and side. I'm not healing fast enough.”“You are, but you won't notice because

AbelLana walked them out then returned to me shortly. “Frank is mischievous.”“Yes, he is. He's Andrew's son through and through. Which is why I'm staying away from that pea soup. I don't trust that kid.”The room returned to it's revered solitude as our smiles faded. Her eyes glazed over, and I could have felt like I imagined the tears if she hadn't subtly raised a finger to dab them off.“I thought I had lost you too. I couldn't feel your pulse. I couldn't feel you breathe, and you were so still. So calm. The blood was all over...oh God...” she trailed off, her voice breaking, eyes filled with tears.I was so close to crying too. Reaching up to touch her face, although my arm felt sore even with that small, gentle movement, I whispered with a nervous chuckle. “Takes more than one gunshot to kill me off. A Stravkos never dies that easily.”She sniffled, a hint of a smile on her lips. “You have no idea how grateful I am to death for not taking you. You've become my whole world, Abel.
The Mafia's Crazy Obsession 80
AbelI was dreaming.It was one of those dreams where nothing basically happens. One of those dreams you feel your legs can't touch the ground. You feel as though you're drifting in space, not recalling anything. Not seeing, nor feeling anything but fire in your side.And then you hear voices. They sound so far away, bold, spoken words that sound like the faintest whispers. And then you're falling from space. And then you catch glimpses of the incidents that led to you having that terrible burn in your side.And then you make out one of the voices talking to belong to the only woman you had ever loved.The monitors bleeped like an endless, buzzing swarm of bees. I heard the doctor asking Lana to go home and get some rest, but she was adamant. I heard her refer to me as stubborn, and it made me smile all the time. Whenever I managed to drift back to consciousness, she was there, sitting by my side and holding my hand. Sometimes she cried, and I knew it wasn't tears of sadness. At first

SolanaWhen we arrived at the hospital, he was taken straight to the emergency unit. Andre screamed orders that they should commence surgery immediately. It was the same ward Wyatt had been into.Life truly does come full circle, doesn't it?Only this time, the doctors wouldn't even look at us. Hospital policy instructed that they only provided information about a patient to his immediate family. Helen and I weren't.“Fucking distasteful! I just want to know if he's going to live! Don't you understand?”“Ma'am,” the doctor said, exhaling calmly. “Please calm down. This is not my doing. It's just how things work over here.”“Lana,” a deep voice called behind us. I turned to see Andre striding into the waiting room, his face cleaned of blood, although his shirt was still coated in deep crimson. He placed a hand on my shoulder and squeezed gently. I relaxed.“They've begun operating. There's no news if he'll make it or not for the moment.” He turned to the doctor. “Please add Lana Willia

Solana“Abel, no!”I surged forward, almost knocking Helen to the floor and sank down on my knees beside his limp body. Tears welled up as I held his face with one hand and pressed my other hand to his side that was gushing out so much blood, I felt it'd never stop. Without thinking, I slammed my lips against him. I kissed him madly. Uncontrollably, again and again. When I tried to push his hair back from his forehead, I left blood in it's place. His blood. There was so much of it, more than I'd ever seen in my entire life. Too much.“Please don't die. Stay with me, please. Please, Abel.”It was then I realized I didn't make him promise to live. I thought he was invincible. That he could never die. That he'd always be alive, and would always be by my side. He'd made me three promises — selfish promises — and he'd never promised me that he wouldn't die.I'd never asked him to promise that. God, all these while... I didn't think he could ever be defeated. I thought Death held no candle

Abel“Andrew, give me the gun,” I said, shadowing him as he moved around the table, advancing to where Father stood, but it was like I was talking to a rock. He couldn't hear or see me. Couldn't hear or see anything but Father.“You're such a tyrant. Everything always has to go your way, and now that I'm older, I realize how stupid I've been, letting you dictate my life. I was too much of a wimp to let you know that we loved each other and she was carrying my baby. Mine, you dirty old man.”“Andrew,” I said, more firmly this time. “Hand me the damn gun. Now. Don't do something you'll regret later.”Father was unperturbed by the pistol, dragging his eyes from him to Helen for a few minutes. I couldn't practically imagine the wheels in his mind turning into place as he finally understood. But Andrew wasn't through with his ranting.“You've never loved me. Never cared. It's always about Abel. Always about Andre!”“That's not true, and you know it,” Father exhaled, too calm for a man who

Abel“Last chance to tell me everything, little bro. It's for your own good.”“It's going to be a peaceful meeting, right? You have nothing to worry about. Go get everyone under control, now. I'll see you when it's time for the meeting.”“Suit yourself.”I strode out of the room, taking no detours to see how my Father and Andre were doing, and heading straight for Lana's room.She and Helen sat side by side on the bed conversing in low tones when I walked in. Feeling guilty, Lana shot me a nervous smile, getting up at once.I looked past her at Helen. “The meeting is downstairs, not here,” I said, then turned to Lana. “You disobeyed me.”“I had to talk to her first, Abel. She's my sister.”“Why do you always miss the point every fucking time? It's driving me to my limits,” I said.“I know this might come as a shock to you, sis, but for once I'd say listen to him. He's right. This whole thing concerns me and me alone. We've already lost so much people. I don't want you getting involved
