The Mafia's Hidden Obsession 20
ALMA’S POVZaverio’s lips closed around one of my exposed nipples, and I cried out holding his head closer to my chest. I was lying on my back with my gown gathered around my waist. Zaverio fit snugly in between my thighs.I grinded against his hot member, whimpering desperately to be filled, I wanted him inside me. Despite being intoxicated, Zaverio took his sweet time with my body, in no rush to touch me.I didn’t want him this way, there would be a time for him to explore my body, or make me feel desired. Right now I needed him to fuck me until I lost my breath. This was the only time I had to have him, if Selene arrived at the height of my passion, I knew I would not be able to release him.“Zaverio” I sighed breathlessly. “I need you inside me, please.”He hummed, sucking my breast deeper into his mouth. “I want to take my time; your body deserves to be worshipped. I have fantasized about these breasts. I have thought of fucking them-”“I want you to fuck me from behind Zaverio,

ZAVERIO’S POV“What the fuck?” I held my head, rolling around in my bed. What the hell had Von loaded me with? I barely remembered anything about yesterday, except Alma.A smile forced my lips apart and I laughed, spreading my hands over my bed- my bed? The realizations made me sit up, which was a horrible mistake. A headache pounded at the base of my skull like a hammer.“Oh good! You’re awake.” Selene’s voice worsened my headache. “I got you some pills and a glass of water.”“What the hell are you doing in my room?” I slapped away the glass she offered me, not caring when it shattered. “Who gave you the permission to be here?”Selene glared at me, “I stay here. I found you passed out on the bed when I got back yesterday from my outing.”I looked around my room, noticing all the boxes and items that weren’t mine. “Get your things out of my room Selene! I’ll warn you only once.”“I’m not going anywhere Zaverio.” Selene crossed her arms. “Your mother told me to make myself comfortable;

ALMA’S POVZaverio was barely home these days; I didn’t mind his absence either because my heart felt full. We hadn’t spoken about the words he said to me, but I could wait for him to return home.Mrs. Riccardo was doing well, and we were all waiting for her to return home. Selene had grown more agitated now that she was awake and piled any and every work she could think of.I got the short end of the stick when it came to her mercy, thankfully she had striking me across the face but the belt marks on my back weren’t any better.I shivered in my wet dress, pushing the brush harder into the floor. Selene had dumped a bucket of water over me and ordered me to clean it up in my wet clothes. Nadine had offered to help me, but Selene was not going anywhere anytime soon, and I couldn’t afford to put my friend in trouble. I also needed to prepare lunch for Zaverio and time was running out.I didn’t want him to know what was happening in the house; Selene had become an uncontrollable force,

ZAVERIO’S POVSomething strange was happening, I didn’t know what but something kept hitting the base of my skull seeking attention. I gritted my teeth, keeping my eyes on the morning papers I had stopped reading minutes ago.My breakfast had also gone cold but I had no appetite, and I felt the trepidation of the staff waiting on me. Their eyes darted to me and then the untouched breakfast, probably expecting me to throw a fit like my mother.I’d admit I never stopped her from exhibiting her dramatic flair. My father had spoiled her rotten when he was alive, this house was hers, and I tried my possible best to stay out of the matters regarding the Riccardo's estate.I thought I didn’t interfere in the matters of the house, but I had overran my mother’s special request that Selene remain in the house. There was no way she could have predicted her stroke and not for the first time, I detested my mother’s involvement in my life.Selene stood nowhere close to Alma, the one who truly held

ZAVERIO’S POVNadine whirled around and stabbed me in the chest with her finger the moment I shut her bedroom door.“I will not sleep with you, Mr. Zaverio; I refuse to betray my friend like that. You’ll have to kill me before you have my body.” Her eyes hardened. My brows fused into a frown of confusion. My thoughts faltered. “What the fuck are you talking about? Why would I want to sleep- did you say rape you? Why would I do that?”Nadine observed me as if weighing the words of an enemy. “You’re well known in the estate, Mr. Zaverio. With all due respect, everyone knows you will fuck anything that has a skirt on.”I wanted to refuse, but my tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth. What was the point in denying the truth?“Watch your mouth, Nadine,” I sais sternly, and she presses her lips, shutting her mouth. “Sorry, but I can't,” she muttered. “I have no desire to sleep with you, Nadine. You can stop being on the defensive side.” I leaned against the door, keeping my distance. “I

Alma's povI stopped myself from skipping across the hall, it was unbecoming of a staff of the Riccardo estate, but most importantly it was dangerous to let others see a spark in my life.Everyone had recovered from the scare Mrs. Riccardo had caused the house; those who had mourned her now went back to seeking information for the mistress of the house who would be returning to lead us with an iron fist. The happy home was a jungle all over again. I was aware of the prying eyes and quick footsteps following me around at night and sometimes in the daytime; I had no idea if Selene had said anything to someone before she left.The uncertainty fanned the waves of fear in my heart, dimming my smile until my lips were turned downwards into a frown. I was playing with fire, even when I knew this kind of fire wouldn’t just burn me, but also take my life.For weeks I had called Mrs. Riccardo’s bluff, reading and rereading the papers I had torn to pieces. It had taken a while to piece the full

Alma’S POV It was another day, and Zaverio’s laboured breath fanned my neck as I let my tired legs drop from his waist. We were on the floor in his study, not completely naked, but had just finished having sex. It was harder to meet up due to the paranoia I was experiencing. The house was a station of gossip, and I kept my ears glued to the wall, trying to pick up pieces of information. No one was talking about the little affair I was having with Zaverio. They were more interested in my fight with Nadine. It hadn’t been a public fight, but anyone could feel the heated tension between us whenever we were in the same space. Nadine had kept to herself after our exchange, barely sparing me a glance. It hurt more than I would ever admit; she had always been my safe space, and I realized how selfish I was to ever think she would throw herself into Zaverio’s arms. I had practised my apology a million times in my head, but whenever I saw her, the words evaporated. She had also asked

ALMA’S POV “How’s Mrs. Riccardo?” I asked Zaverio, buttoning his shirt. Our morning routine consisted of us showering together in my room, and we would get ready for the day together. He always insisted I helped him with his shirts or tie. I never admitted to him that the little ritual soothed my nerves.Recently, I’d been feeling sick every morning, and I knew it was the anxiety eating its way to the forefront of my mind. I had also kept my eyes on Elaine, and anyone who looked suspicious.That strategy didn’t work well, because I retired every night with a pounding headache, and the intense need to throw up every morning. The feeling eased after I had breakfast, but returned every time I felt anyone staring at me.Zaverio supported me silently which eased a little of the overwhelming emotions that’s had been clogging my chest. I didn’t know what to do with myself, I was all over the place, trying to keep our love a well hidden secret and also do my job properly.“You’re overthink

GIO’S POVThe news of Damien killing his brother- albeit by mistake shook the country and Kane helping him cover up the crime was not left out. The media ate up the story, milking every source until the stream ran dry.Alma’s name was cleared and the good guys were suddenly the bad guys. Riots kicked out everywhere, and a few small stations were targeted and burnt down. The people turned the case into different agendas, exploiting it however they could.That was somehow my problem, now that I had been promoted, to fill the shoes Kane left behind. It felt wrong to sit in his office when I knew how he died, and where he was- or rather how his body had been disposed.It was getting easier to stomach the reality of my new life; and I surprised myself with the kind words I spoke at his funeral. I didn’t mean any of it, but his bereaved wife appreciated it, and his children just cried along.It had been a closed casket ceremony, because the only thing they had been able to recover was his l

ALMA’S POV“Are we restocking the roses today?” Martha asked, scribbling something on the notepad in her hands. “I’ll be going to our local suppliers later, so I need to map out my day.”“I’m not sure about the roses, they stayed too long on the shelf, maybe because a lot of people are used to seeing roses.” I tapped my chin. “We can play with the subconscious of people by removing it entirely from our selection list.”Martha grinned. “I see what you did there, and I agree with your idea. It’s easier when they ask for it than throwing it in their faces.”I nodded, “I’ll close up early when you’re about to leave, because I won’t be able to tend to the shop and keep an eye on Zara.”Martha saw and knew how shaken I was after the incident that involved Dante, she didn’t ask questions but she didn’t let Zara out of her sight after that day which I appreciated.Dante had apologized with doughnuts but I was still wary with him around, and I felt ashamed about my actions. He didn’t know why
The Mafia's Hidden Obsession 92
GIO’S POVMy head spun with the new information I was hearing, and I heard myself talking before I could shut my mouth. “Wait, you’re saying he killed his brother and framed it on you.”Zaverio didn’t look back when he responded, “Yes, he did. It took me a while to reach that conclusion and get the evidence providing that but I did, and that brings us right back here.”I tore my eyes away from the scene unfolding in front of me when Damien let out blood curling screams, begging and pleading as Zaverio dug into his eye socket with a scalpel.My eyes landed on Alvaro, taking in the marred side of his face, and I imagined what he looked like when Damien hadn’t walked into his life. A picture of a very handsome man planted itself in my head.“Mr. Damien here actually didn’t mean to kill his brother. They loved each other, and they spoke about everything including his cases. That information was very easy to pull up, and I realized even cops can be stupid when they’re hurting.”“Damien and
The Mafia's Hidden Obsession 91
ZAVERIO’S POVDamien landed in my lap sooner than I had expected and the thought irked me as I stood in front of his naked form. He was still unconscious after Alvaro knocked him out a second time in the car.I didn’t ask what happened, and from the state of Gio’s face I didn’t need to. This dog didn’t know when to lie down and rest. He held a grudge against me for something I didn’t do.Damien was a goody two shoes who was looking for the killer of his brother, and any other good detective would have looked deeper, but he was family so he saw someone to blame and shot the gun.Tragic, the death of the young man, but I couldn’t bring myself to feel any sympathy for the man who was bred with this animal. Apples didn’t fall very far from the tree and maybe Jace wasn’t who pretended to be.Nobody spoke as I circled the man that had limited time on earth, thinking up ways to inflict pain no man would ever survive.Damien was a few years too early but that didn’t matter anymore, after him
The Mafia's Hidden Obsession 90
GIO’S POVI held my head when I coughed, groaning from deep within my soul when I felt the kind of pain no living being should feel. It subsided after a second and I sighed in relief, breathing slowly to erase the feeling altogether.“You’re one of the best patients Zaverio has delivered to my doorstep.”I managed to open one eye and I scanned the room I was in, and returned to the old man adjusting the drip bag hanging over my head. “Who are you?”“My name is Doctor Hassan. Alvaro dropped you off earlier. You were punched in the face with a knuckle ring.”That explained why I felt like I had been hit by a truck. “I remember Alvaro telling me I had a broken nose.”“Thank God that was all he broke, your strong bones saved you from having a dislocated jaw. Your left face is severely bruised, and you’ll look like shit for a few weeks but after that it’ll go back to normal.”I wasn’t usually vain, but I didn’t want to walk around with a face that screamed ‘I had been attacked.’“Did Alvar

GIO’S POV“I didn’t bring him here.” I shook my head, turning fearful eyes to Alvaro. “You have to believe me.”“I know you didn’t bring him here, but he’s a snake that doesn’t know when to bite and when to crawl away.” Alvaro stood, “I’ll go out the back, because the moment he sees me with you, he’ll know you’re working for the other side.”He walked off before I could ask any more questions, and I groaned, snatching my back off the table. Damien had just cost me valuable information.“Are you out of your bloody mind?” I rounded on him the moment I pushed the doors open. “Are you following me?”Damien scratched his head, pulling off an act I had seen a hundred times before. “You looked like you were in a hurry, and I felt like you would need backup, so I followed you.”“You do not follow a superior officer, you do not feel the need to go against protocol because you’re indirectly telling me to my face that you do not trust me, and giving my superiors reason to look into my movement.”
The Mafia's Hidden Obsession 88
GIO’S POV“Isn’t it a perfect day to be working together, partner?”I almost buried my face in my hands, but I held my head up, smiling tightly at the latest addition to my team. “Hello, Damien. I am not your partner, I am your superior, and you don’t have to pop in here every single minute.”He looked into my office but didn’t walk in, “A desk would look good over there, don’t you think? It’s better to work in close proximity in case you need me for something urgently.”I couldn’t resist the urge to roll my eyes, calling Damien to back me up in the Alan arrest had gotten into his head, not more than me telling his role model- Kane that he was welcome to join my team.My superiors had asked questions, and I had deflected them. Kane and Damien could celebrate this as a win; they weren’t going to live long any way.That wasn’t positive thinking; but I was preparing myself for when I had to offer them up like lambs to the slaughter house. Zaverio was going to get to them, with or without
The Mafia's Hidden Obsession 87
ZAVERIO’S POVBusiness was booming. My father would be proud if he was still alive to see what I had done to the organization. I had explored Von’s idea about exploring the sea by getting our own boats and ships, and it had been a huge money saver.Our former contacts at the dock were unhappy, but Alvaro had come through with own so we were clear. Nobody had gotten pissy about the recent changes yet, and I was itching for a fight.I wasn’t used to this peace that surrounded my business of late, but that was all there was these days. All we did was close our deals and sell more drugs, which wasn’t a bad thing but I was craving something more.“I don’t know if you forgot, but we are supposed to meet with some men from the turf across the river today.” Von said, standing at my door. “I’ll take a wild guess and say you totally forgot about that meeting.”“I did forget about that meeting.” I said, leaning into my chair. “When’s the meeting, because now I feel sleepy.”“You can sleep on the
The Mafia's Hidden Obsession 86
ALMA’S POVMartha and I never spoke about my episode at the shop but I refused to return for the rest of the week. I didn’t want to leave my daughter and I didn’t want to see Dante.I was still pissed at him for taking my daughter without my permission, and maybe I had overreacted because of my anxiety, but I wasn’t wrong for my reaction. He didn’t know my past so he didn’t know my fears, but everything else was valid.“Are you going to the shop to keep an eye on the guys coming to fix the cameras?” Martha asked. I was supposed to do that, but she was confirming if that was part of the plan since I hadn’t left the house all week.“Yes, I need to keep my brain occupied so I’ll balance our books while they work.” I said, not looking up from the breakfast I hadn’t touched.“That’s great. Zara and I are going to have a lazy day beside the pool, read some books and sleep all day.” Zara smiled at Martha and she responded with a quick kiss to the forehead.“Don’t tempt me to stay home, Marth
