The Mafia's Crazy Obsession 59
AbelAs Lauren escorted Doctor Pete outside, I plopped back down beside Lana, careful not to hit her sprained ankle. “I'm sorry I took so long in there. Feel better?”“Go away, Abel,” she snapped, turning her face the other way. “Not right now. I don't want to talk to you.”“Is this about what I said earlier, Lana? I didn't mean to offend you with my question. You know the last thing I could ever want is to see you unhappy.”“But you did, Abel. You did offend me. That's the problem. Ever heard of the saying, 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions?’”I mulled over the saying for a few minutes, then exhaled and asked. “Why don't we sit outside on the grass and talk for a while?”“No. I don't want to talk. I told you — ”Ignoring her, I lifted her up into my arms and carried her outside, amidst protests. She raised her fist to pound it against my chest, but thought better of it. “You're insufferable.”“And you're beautiful.”She blushed furiously, attempting to hide it with her

Abel“Now, Lana, it's your turn,” I wiped the tears that had sprung up, blinking furiously. Fuck, why the heck was I crying? Why? And that too in front of her? I had to get my shit together. “What do you want? After shit hits the fan and everyone is happy, what do you desire?”She met my gaze, the look in her eyes unreadable, then she turned away quickly and shrugged her shoulders. I melted when she shot me a bright but equally sad smile. “Everything you want, Abel, I want them too.”“You're sure?” I tilted my head to the side, my chest swelling with pride. “No add-ons?”“No add-ons,” she reaffirmed.“You'll get them, then. You have my word for it.”There it was. Another promise to her. One I didn't know if I could keep. But I knew I would try. I wouldn't abandon her desires. I wouldn't abandon her generous wants. I would try every day up until my last breath on earth to give her all that she rightfully deserved. All that she wanted and possibly, more. A life. Simple. Colourful. Quiet

Abel“What do I want today?” I asked, smearing some more of the lotion on my dick.She nodded. I pulled her good leg out, bent it at the knee, and pushed it toward her chest. I then squeezed half the bottle of lotion onto the flat of her belly. She watched my movements expectantly.“Your arse, Lana. I want to fuck your arse today.”She blinked rapidly at first, trying to process my words, then her eyes went wide when it registered. She opened her mouth, to scream perhaps, but I stopped her right on time, dipping a finger into the lotion and taking the tip of it to her arsehole.“Relax. You have to trust me on this. I promise, you'll enjoy it,” I coaxed, circling the tight, dark pink, virgin ring, smearing lotion over it evenly. “But first, for safety measures, I'm going to fill your tight, little hole with this. You're going to so love it.” I dipped my finger in the lotion again, and she watched, entranced, a dainty red dusting her cheeks, caution in her eyes, alongside excitement and

AbelI carried Lana out of the bathroom after an intense shower session (we'd spent two hours lounging in the tub, making out, and fucking — I was careful enough not to hurt her sprained ankle any further, and to keep it elevated and iced, just like the doctor ordered.) I placed her carefully on the bed and began to clean her body. She lay on her back, her arms frayed out beside her, eyes closed, sated, and a faint smile on her lips. I hummed a song slowly as I dragged the towel fabric over the soft moulds of her breasts, down her flat belly, pausing to clean her dark pink pussy that was still tender from taking my cock. She giggled, then exhaled, reaching out to tug at my hair when I leaned down to tease her clit with my tongue.I'd barely brought my face up when Nico barged in the bedroom, calling out my name, his face going white when his eyes landed first on Lana's breasts, then at my face in between her legs. He turned away quickly, burning up in embarrassment.“Shit. I'm sorry,
The Mafia's Crazy Obsession 63
SolanaThe tension was at an all-time high. I'd never seen Abel so agitated, so anxious as he made call after call on our way to the hospital where Wyatt was receiving treatment — first to his junior brother Andre, then to Nico who tailed us, and finally, to Andrew. Andrew didn't pick up his call and Abel dropped one too many voicemails telling him to call him back immediately once he got them. He also arranged for security to surround the hospital ground, but to be subtle so as not to scare the authorities or patients. I couldn't be thankful enough.On my end, I tried dialling Helen thrice, but it never went through. With heavy traffic, by the time we got to the hospital, an hour and half had whizzed past. Abel's phone rang once as he pulled into the crowded parking lot. We searched for an appropriate place to park, and once he turned off the ignition, he checked the display, and I glimpsed the name. It was Norman Stravkos.He glanced up at me. “I have to take this.”“No problem,” I

Solana“What's going on, Helen? Why won't you tell me anything?”She whirled around to face me, finally. “Because you're better off not knowing a lot of things, Lana. Everything I do, I do it for us. For your own good. It's just been...a fucking mess lately. It's all falling apart.”“Have you...have you been fucking Andrew Stravkos under everyone's noses?” my chest heaved as my voice cracked.She threw her arms up in the air in exasperation. “There you go again with your suspicions. First, you accused me of fucking Wyatt, and now Andrew too? I'm sorry, sis, but I can't give you a proper answer to that. It's not important, and you know it. We should be focusing instead on helping Wyatt recover!”Tears stung my eyes. It scared me how much she'd changed. How unwilling she was to tell me the truth. “You've forgot the promise we made to each other. You've forgot that we practically don't hide anything from each other, Helly. How — ”“Don't make this hard for me, Lana. Please,” she choked b

Solana“Bye mommy,” Frank waved.“Bye sweetheart. Take care of yourself. Mommy and Uncle Wyatt will be home soon, okay?”Holding onto Frank's little wrist, I led him outside the hospital, Abel striding before us. Nico had brought the car out to the front as instructed, and the rain was falling mildly. Once we settled Frank and my crutches in the backseat, we climbed in. I comforted Frank on our way back home, which was about half an hour from the hospital. Although he tried to brighten up, believing that his mother would come home soon and Wyatt would be fine, it was evident that he was anxious and close to tears. Abel said a few words of comfort, his mind preoccupied. Perhaps grateful that Frank was with us, which prevented me from questioning him about what he must've found out.Once we got closer to the family house, I espied two cars parked outside on either sides of the road, close to the gate. Abel pulled up behind the first one — a sleek Maybach — and we all climbed out, me las

Solana“I don't know what to believe in anymore, Aunt Lana. What if he doesn't get better? What if the doctor tells Mummy he's gone to heaven?”How could I answer the question, when I wasn't sure of the outcome myself? When I was losing hope in everything? How could I answer the question well enough so he'll feel better? I hated the feud the more. Hated how it'd dragged this little boy, dragged this innocent soul into it's chaos.I stood up, suddenly feeling stripped, bare before his eyes. I glanced around, at the myriad of teddy bears and other toys, my eyes drawn to the old blue dreamcatcher on the wall, close to the clock. When we were seven, Father had bought one each for Helen and I, but I'd lost mine after a few months. Helen had always been more careful with her belongings than I was when we were young. Seeing it now brought back a whole lot of nostalgia. There were many other things; books, cards, games he'd gotten us. Our rooms had been so full of toys that we had to take som

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.

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
