The Mafia's Crazy Obsession 68
Abel“Back to the basics on who is behind this,” Andre spoke up, adjusting himself on his seat. “I believe the Hiroshima and Sturm clans are the ones carrying out these attacks. I also don't believe that Helen Williams would have her cousin taken out, assuming that was the intent. I mean, why?”“There's every reason for her to do it, because Wyatt is not a biological cousin. What else would it be? They put two bullets in him for Christ's sake.”Andre hummed, stroking his chin, looking thoughtful. “You do have a point. Maybe we've underestimated that woman a lot. She's obviously a bigger threat than we've ever given her credit for, perhaps much more smarter and powerful than her father. If we're right on this, then that means Wyatt was just a camouflage. A cover for her.”“What if the Hiroshima and Sturm clans are acting alone?”“No,” Father chipped in, shaking his head. “I've spoken to both parties. They're as surprised as we all are. They haven't authorized any shootings, and in fact

Solana“Jesus Christ. What the hell are you doing here?” I asked, standing feebly and leaning my weight on my crutches. My knees felt like jelly, and I didn't feel half as confident as I somehow managed to sound. “H-How did you...how did you get in?”He stood in the light just on the other side of the coffee table, looking incredibly different; disheveled, his shirt untucked, his hair tousled, his face bruised and red. The corners of his lips rode up into a sly smile, and I had no choice but to look at him, really, for the first time, the dimples on both cheeks disarming me momentarily. His eyes were a smoky, seductive gray, the lashes a fine coal-black, thick, and shiny just like his dark hair. He was tall, well over six feet, but he had a slightly bigger build than Abel. Muscular, with well-defined features. Powerful.I returned my gaze to his face, the smile on his face broadening. The atmosphere was charged with a strange kind of tension, one I couldn't escape from. The mischief i

Solana“I couldn't believe... I thought...oh my God, Lana, what if they didn't take him to the hospital on time? What if they couldn't save him?” She sucked in a large breath and wiped her eyes, and the snot on her nose, leaning back. “I was so scared that I prayed, Lana. I haven't prayed that hard for anything, not even when Frank was severely sick.” She shook her head, sniffling. “I love him so much. I love him, I love him and all we do is fight. I just want... I just want to hold him right now and tell him how much I'm sorry for hurting him.”I blinked, confused. “Is this still about Wyatt?”“M-mh,” she nodded, leading us over to the sofa where we sat side by side.“Wyatt doesn't share the Williams blood. He was adopted,” she explained, convinced that was what I was concerned about. “Papa always strived to hide that fact, so we wouldn't see him any differently from being our beloved cousin.”“I know we're not related to him, Helly. God, I know. I have no problem with it. I don't car

Solana“Did you order the fucking hit-and-run? Did you order them to kill Wyatt?”Andrew rolled his eyes, exhaling. “You're starting to be a pain in the arse. What happened to my Hell baby? My vengeful, little spitfire? Now you're this goody-two-shoes bitch, and it's grating on my nerves.”“Shut up, Andrew.”“No, you shut up.” He took her glass and finished it before slamming it down on the coffee table. “You may be over everything, and forgiven everyone, but I'm not. There's absolutely no way in hell that I'm going to let my father hand everything to my dumb excuse of a brother. No. Fucking. Way. And you two ladies better stay out of my way.”The door flew open then, and Abel came charging in like a storm, his face a mask of fury as he grabbed Andrew and slammed him against the closest wall, his forearm crushing his neck. “You piece of shit,” he spat. “How the hell did you get in here?”“Well it's simple, dumbass,” Andrew retorted shoving him back with a sly smirk on his face. “Next

AbelAs we pulled up to the tall gates of the house, I dug out my phone and dialled Andre's line. I didn't want to waste any more time. “What are you doing?” Lana asked. I glanced at her, thankful when Andre answered just then.“Hello? Abel?”“Where are you right now?” I asked.“Um, I'm still at Father's. The meeting's over and everyone's left. What's the matter?”“Did Erin later agree to come with Damien?”“Yeah. She just got here in fact, and doesn't seem to be in a good mood, bro. Do you want to speak with her?”“No. Tell her not to unpack her stuff yet.”“I don't understand. Why?”“I'm calling for a family meeting. It's urgent. I want you to drive Erin and Damien over here. Father and Andrew should come down as well. Treat as important, please.”“A meeting?” Solana asked, her eyes bulging. “What fucking meeting, Abel? What's going on?”I ignored her. “Tomorrow morning, I want a second meeting with you, Father, Andrew, both heads of the Hiroshima and Sturm clans as well as their s
The Mafia's Crazy Obsession 73
Abel“You have to be patient, dear.” I smiled, loving her a little greedy, a little filthy. I had succeeded in corrupting her, and I wanted to make sure she enjoyed every second of it. “Turn around and put your knee on either side of my face.”She hesitated only for a moment before turning, and presenting me with her beautiful arse, then her lovely, gorgeous, dripping cunt just over my face. She lowered herself to her elbows, and I pulled her to me, pausing to bite my lip in ecstasy when she flickered her little wet tongue over the tip of my cock before encasing it with her lips.“Fuck, baby, that's so divine,” I gritted out, bringing her to my face and tickling her with the little stubble I kept forgetting to shave off. I dipped a thumb into her wet cunt before sliding it up to her asshole and pressing there, not penetrating, not in a hurry, only holding it there as I tickled her clit with my tongue while she went to work on my cock.I'd only been with experienced women. Experts, who

Abel“Where the hell is Andrew?” I barked, running a hand rapidly through my hair. “He should be here. Fuck, he has to be here. This meeting can't take place without him.”“No idea where he is,” Father shrugged, yawning. “Man, I'm so exhausted. It's well past three in the morning and we all haven't had a wink of sleep all night. Make this snappy.”“I thought Andrew had come home. I didn't realize — ”Father cut me off, raising his brow in question. “Why would you think that? You of all people should know that Andrew is the last person that'll be welcomed under my roof. Not with all what he's been doing lately.”I sighed. “Well, I spoke with him last night. He was at the Williams' family house to see Helen Williams.”Father bunched up his fists, his lips tightening. “Why the hell would he want to see that woman? He loathes her.”I wanted to tell him about Frank, and Andrew's tight relationship with Helen, but stopped myself right on time. It wasn't in my place to tell. Andrew had to do
The Mafia's Crazy Obsession 75
Abel“There's no need for panic. I will talk to him,” I said at last, my voice resolute. There had to be some way to get him to agree. Besides, I'd like to give him one last chance, talk to him like maybe the way I should've been talking to him all along. I was so ashamed of myself. I didn't realize how much we'd drifted apart. Maybe he'd have come to me for help seven years ago if I had been a better, more understanding brother to him.By the time Andrew arrived my place, it was eight o'clock in the morning. We'd all just finished having our breakfast, and Lana had gone up to her room, and Erin to hers with Damien when he stumbled in, reeking of liquor and causing a scene. He was propped by two men who worked for Andrew.“What's all the fuss about, brother?”His eyelids were drooping, and the bruises from the beating I'd given him earlier had coloured a dark purple. A wave of guilt coursed through me.“Summoning me to your grand estate like I have nothing better to do. Well, here's s

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
