ClaireThe black SUV sat outside the steel gates of our house. I could already see Vincent through the rolled down windows smoking a thick cigar in his hand. I got into the passenger seat and a strange silence reigned after I'd said a subtle hey which he replied with a hum. I stared at his face through the rear view mirror, a small frown sat on his brows and it was evident he was worried about something.Reaching over I grabbed the cigar from his hand and he finally looked at me, a strange calm in his hazel eyes."Don't tell me you want to smoke, Blue?" His voice was deeper than I remembered, strangely making heat pool between my legs.When you've missed someone, sometimes you don't even realize it until you see them again, everything about them would begin to excite you. From their eyes, how their voice sounds, and how the buttons on their shirt are half opened then your eyes can't help but wander down their chest till you glimpse a bit of dark ink...Dark ink? I found myself notic

Vincent If the world works together to take you away from me, I'll destroy the world and everything in it, then it'll be you and me... Forever, if a forever even exists.***I moved in the darkness of night, it was the only time anyone from the underworld come out to work openly.The wind blew harshly on the rooftop, my men followed behind me like an army, and on the far other end of the rooftop stood a man with an intimidating figure with other men guarding behind him as well."Vince are you sure about this? This person is Donatello's boss, and you know Donatello tried to kill you. We have our men here but they won't be anywhere near enough if this person planned this as a trap. I say we call for backup and attack then capture him, he won't be a threat to you anymore."Rocco voiced his concern. "This person is the most important person to someone I care about. He's her brother, I won't attack or make any move against him unless he does against me." I continued to walk forward till

ClaireThe car sped dangerously close, my heart thumped rapidly and a screeching sound filled the air. I shut my eyes tight and my body suddenly tilted in the air. The sound of the car crashing against the curb came next but no pain struck me, I opened my eyes and realized a strong grip around my wrist."What the hell Blue, were you looking to get killed?!" A deep angry voice roared next to me as his arms gripped my shoulders."I...I didn't know what to..." Words hardly formed from my throat as I looked around and realized a car had crashed to the curb right where I'd been standing a few seconds ago before Vincent had timely pulled me away.It's always astounding how one would feel death coming near, but would be frozen in shock. Now I suddenly understood how many accidents happen."You need to be more careful." He said with a sigh brushing my hair out of my face."I'm fine, thanks to you." He drew me against his chest and I felt his arms close around me. One second I was feeling fe

ClaireThe next morning, instead of driving me home, Vincent drove me to his house instead.I gazed at him questioningly and he smiled at me reassuringly and stepped out of the car, but what met us inside the house was surprising.A set of people were present in the living room. An older man and a woman that looked like a couple. Beside them was the ever gorgeous Natalia dressed in a little black dress, one a girl would wear to a strip club and not out in the day.Opposite them sat Joshua Morano, the man who had given the order to have me taken out the other day. His gaze on me remained a glare, yet a tilt of his lips made it evident the man was getting what he wanted whatever that was. "Ah, my son in law is finally here. I was beginning to think you wouldn't show up." Natalia's father remarked with a big smile.Keira descended from the stairs dressed in blue she looked elegant with every step she took and had a resolute look on her face. When she spotted me and Vincent she stiffened

At some point they pulled out their guns and began to shoot at the men on the bikes.The bike men managed to evade. However, the shiny blue bike at the front came to a sudden stop in the middle of the road, that was because it had very nearly hit a girl crossing the streets.The girl's beautiful brows were pulled together in pain as she looked down to her legs, there was something sweet about the girl. As the breeze blew her hair, it revealed a lovely and fresh face of an innocent beauty.

In this moment, betrayal tasted like ash and salt potent and strong on his tongue as he stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar beautiful face in front of him.The girl he knew was named Keira, just Keira, a beautiful innocent woman selling flowers in the heart of Rome. The girl before him was devious, yet devastatingly beautiful, like a rose filled with hidden thorns that would pierce all the way to your heart, this girl was Keira Morano.She clicked her tongue in a mocking manner, "What did you think? You'd found yourself a lovely little woman to play with till you got bored? You weren't the one playing with me Black, I was the one playing with you."Not once did Rodrigo look away from those eyes, dark and calm as water. To think he'd stared into this beautiful face with budding love, but she'd stared Into his with nothing but deceit. He couldn't bring himself to utter a word. He felt like a complete loser, a total utter failure. But more than that, his heart was cracking and shatter

After that day, Keira continued with her life. Carrying out missions just like she'd been asked. But not a day slid by that she didn't think about him. Loving someone was a beautiful feeling, but it was also unbearable torture. The craving to see them. They would appear in the face of everyone in front of you, and you'd end up waking up to reality to realize that they weren't there in front of you like you hoped.The kiss they'd shared that night on the boat in that incredibly romantic setting. At that time she'd told herself it was just for the mission, but only now did she realize how she'd leaned into him, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back with the same fervor with which he'd kissed her. That moment became one that replayed in her head like a broken record.The pain of a bullet wasn't foreign to Keira, but the pain of the heart was a thousand times unbearable.So unbearable that one evening, she found herself driving to Rodrigo's secret villa in the hills, sh

Present DayClaireI found myself in a far away world, a world I once knew but my mind drowned the memories away to the back of my mind.This world was one where men holding guns surrounded me. Rodrigo had done everything to protect me, but in the end a burly man with eyes as scary as a nightmare had taken me. "Relinquish the treasure. Give up your position as Mafia king, and maybe I'll let the little girl live. Otherwise, she dies!" I had been so scared, I was locked up in a dark room, all I could hear were voices from the man who'd taken me making demands. Days passed like wind and I'd almost died in that dark room where a seven year old's nightmare came alive until my brother showed up."You're safe now sunshine. You're safe." From that moment on Rodrigo never took his eyes off me, and it was from that moment on, people stopped calling Rodrigo by the title El Jefe, (The Boss) and he stopped wearing the blood red ring I once used to see on my father's finger.Memories of my lif

Leanne. "I know you need to know this, that's why I came here to show you myself."Claire sat across from me in the living room of my apartment, it felt so wonderful to see her again. There was so much I wanted to apologize to her for now that we're together physically, like not being there for her when she gave birth, through the times she needed a friend most. All those words of apology remained stuck in my throat when I looked through what she'd just handed me.It was a full record proving my step father had indeed been into crime, and he hadn't done it alone, my Mom had been a part of it as well. The discovery that my own parents had been lying to me all along was heart wrenching."Claire, it doesn't really matter anymore. I don't need to know all this anymore."Claire nodded in understanding."Regardless, I wanted you to know the truth. And there's one more thing."I looked away from the pile of papers to her face."If it helps...in any way, Rocco wasn't the one who pulled tha

18 Months Later.Rocco"Are you okay? Don't tell me you're still thinking about that girl." Vince sat next to me and I realized I'd spaced out again."What are you talking about?" I chuckled brushing away the topic he brought up.'That girl' he mentioned was someone I didn't want to talk about, not since she disappeared about a year ago, and not since I'd opened up to Vince about her on a drunken haze one night. "Look, it's alright to admit you can't forget about a girl, and it's definitely alright to admit that you're in love with her."That word made me wince, I still feel the sharp stab of the pain it caused in my heart the day I searched for her endlessly but couldn't find her. "Vincent Morano, love is for men like you who decide to open up to it. I've already told you, that love bullshit isn't for me."Vincent shook his head as if he couldn't believe what I'd just said."Then how can you explain your restlessness after that girl disappeared? It's all love Rocco."I rolled my ey

Leanne "Don't you dare try to come up with lies to my face." I spat angrily after what Erik just said made me feel like there was ice running through my veins. Rocco, killed our father? I could never believe that."You gullible little idiot! I knew you were stupid but not this stupid, it seems I overestimated how smart you could be. You're fucking the very man who murdered the man you once called Dad. You're disgusting."I couldn't control it anymore, I raised my hand and slapped him across the face and his head swung to the side."I've had enough of you. Get out!" I yelled pointing at the door. "Fucking bitch!" Erik roared and things happened too fast after that.Erik suddenly pulled a gun out of nowhere pointing it to my chest, I was rooted in my spot in shock when he pulled the trigger."Lea!" Rocco's voice echoed behind me and then the trigger went off.Two bullets were shot successively, one by Erik and the other by Rocco. By the time my shock had subsided I shivered realizing

Rocco"Hello old friend." Erik's face twisted in a wide grin, one that didn't reach his eyes."Erik." I muttered, suppressing the anger at the sight of him in Lea's apartment and pushed him aside striding inside and began looking around for Lea."Is that how to greet a friend you haven't met in years?"My brows furrowed in deep suspicion. "Where is she?" He didn't answer me, only maintained that blasted grin and folded his arms. "Where do you think she is?" He raised a brow tauntingly. I was striding over to him before I could control myself, grabbing him by the collar tightly."Don't fucking mess with me, I know what you're fucking up to and if you hurt a single hair on her head I swear...""Rocco?" Lea walked out of her bedroom staring at me with a confused look in her eyes."What's going on here?" She asked but instead of answering I hurried to her and began surveying her body for any signs of injuries, when I found none relief wafted into me. "I told you this would happen did
The Mafia's Obsession; Love Me, Love Me Not Chapter 77 - A Date?
Leanne I woke up on something as hard as a rock, when I shifted the rock beneath me shifted as well and arms circled my waist, a soft kiss on the top of my head. I couldn't stop a warm smile from lifting my face. "Morning." A richly deep voice sounded above me, I raised my head to meet a handsome face with dark tousled hair and super dark eyes smiling down at me."Morning." I replied and he held me tighter. "Is this the part where I make you breakfast in bed? You'd have to excuse my awful cooking skills though, I should have taken some lessons from Vince." His words made me giggle but before I could reply his phone started ringing. He fished it out of the jacket pocket thrown to the floor and began to talk to someone in Italian, I moved to get off his body but he held me still shaking his head as an indication for me not to leave so I continued to lay on his chest.When the call was over he dropped the phone aside, silently staring at me as he played with a strand of my hair. "Wh

Leanne I'd been thinking about him a lot since I returned, it felt weird. I used to assume that coming back to my apartment would remind me of Carl, even though I'd been insisting on leaving, I dreaded actually coming back, but the moment I did, only Rocco remained on my mind.I did a lot to distract myself, like rearranging the settings of my apartment and changing things up. I'd finished cleaning up the apartment and everything looked perfect when my doorbell rang, I didn't expect to see the person who has been on my mind, and I certainly didn't expect the first thing he would do was to kiss me.I was stunned in place, shocked and enchanted by his sudden kiss. His mouth tangled with mine in a sensual dance, dominating in a ravenous way till I felt the familiar warmth of arousal trickle between my thighs. I quickly came back to my senses and pushed him away."I told you never to kiss me like that again!" I yelled heaving for breath, my blood still pounding in my ears. "Sorry." He s

Rocco"I promised to take you home, but not this fast." I replied feeling a slight disappointment at the fact that she actually asked to go home this soon. "Please, I can't live like this anymore. I used to have my routine and everything used to work well for me, I just...I don't want to stay here anymore. Let me go." I frowned deeply remembering the very reason I'd brought her here in the first place. "Didn't you hear what I said? You're not going home yet." "Why are you so focused on keeping me here? Why do you keep doing things that make me..." "That make you what?" I challenged with a raised brow.She sighed and said, "If you keep forcing me to stay here against my will, I might just hate you even more than I already do." Her face held a deep kind of seriousness that caught me off guard. The little lake of disappointment expanded greatly inside me.She hates me!Those words created a whirlwind inside my head."You want to leave so badly? Then go! Don't even stay here for a si

RoccoAn addiction was something that would consume your mind in whole till you had absolutely nothing else to think about, nothing else to want to engage in, but that, and Leanne Devin was my new addiction.That night I laid in bed, I could picture every second of it like a movie playing on repeat in my mind. It was absolutely fascinating. Every small whimper that got buried against my mouth as I kissed her, how her fingers curled against my shirt, and how hesitantly she kissed me back. I replayed all of it till I drifted off to sleep. When I went down for breakfast that morning with the hopes of seeing her, she wasn't at the breakfast table."Kennedy, get Lea down here." I instructed after taking my seat.Something told me her face would go all red the minute she sees me. My lips raised in anticipation of that, I had a few lines to tease her with when I noticed Kennedy hadn't moved from his position even after I gave my instruction."Why are you still standing there?""Lea isn't i

RoccoLeanne wiggled her foot to try to get the crab off. "Ah! It's not letting go!" Her eyes were red rimmed and she bit her lips to hold in the pain."Hey hey, calm down. Don't move okay? I'll get it off." I looked into her eyes and assured her till she nodded before I bent to have a look at her toe where the crab still held on. If moved rashly it could cause an irreparable damage so I slowly pulled it off her and flung it back into the water.She sucked in a breath in pain and I couldn't help but let out a low chuckle at the expression on her face. "Who would have thought it'd take a crab to make you look so frightened." I muttered reeling in the feeling of amusement."Tsk, why shouldn't I be scared when I thought it would cut off my toe. It hurts and you're laughing?" "Don't worry, luckily the crab didn't feel too threatened. It's only going to hurt for a while." Bending down I lifted her in my arms and carried her away.Kennedy followed behind and called awkwardly."Uhm...are
