The Mob Boss’s Girl Chapter Nine
I wake up to a knock on my bedroom door. I look around the room. I slept through the night. I didn't think I would. I came home fuming because I was in no mood to meet up with my friends. Mom had managed to ruin my whole week with her words and attitude concerning Luca Ferrante. Sometimes I close my eyes and can't believe that actually happened. To be frank, I'm not surprised, but that doesn't necessarily mean that I'm less hurt by what she said and did. It was no surprise to me that she meant to arrange a marriage between Mary and Luca, but telling me to stay away from him was taking it a step too far, even for her standards. The dress. The speech. It's all messing with my head. I don't remember feeling this angry with something she did, and so the best thing that I can do is keep my distance from her. If she tries to tell me something else regarding the issue this morning, my response won't be pleasing to her. There's the knock again. It interrupts my train of thought. I had forg

There's a card inside which has been rolled up and tied with yet another piece of red ribbon. I'm frightened now and I can't explain why. This isn't an ordinary gift. I don't know anyone who would send me this. Luca Ferrante springs to mind and it makes me even more terrified. This can't be from him. Surely, it can't. I pick up the rolled-up card and slide the ribbon off. The card has been typed, and as soon as my eyes skim it, I realize what this is about. It's an invitation to a masquerade party. My name is on the invite, and it says I can bring a friend along. There's no name on the invitation or anywhere in the box, so I don't know who sent me this. I tell myself that at least it wasn't Luca Ferrante. But if not him, then who?I read the invitation again. A masquerade tomorrow evening? I'm not interested. I don't trust it simply because I don't know who invited me. I can’t go to a party when I don’t know who’s throwing it. That’s asking for unnecessary trouble. I close the box

"How does this look?" Victoria asks. "Does it look better with my hair up or down?"Brett sighs. "Just do whatever. Jesus.""Up," I tell her. "You've got a long and elegant neck. Show it off. There's no reason why you should keep your hair long."She starts pinning her hair up and I stare at my reflection for the twentieth time. I'm all dressed up, and my fear is that we'll show up to this masquerade looking utterly ridiculous. Victoria assured me that it's a formal event, but she's throwing this party without knowing if people will abide to the rules. People normally don't. It's quite possible that we'll see people dressed in cowboy suits. "I feel like I'm going to a wedding," Brett comments. He then turns to wink at me. "Maybe yours with the Italian stallion."I glare at him. "I didn't find that funny.""It wasn't meant to be funny.""Like this?" Victoria asks, turning so we have a view of the back of her head. I nod and tell her it looks perfect. Brett says nothing at all, just go

I don't figure out what it is either. Not anytime soon. "I need a break," I say to Brett. "I need a bathroom break."He doesn't hear me. Neither does Victoria. I give up trying to make them listen to me and find my own way to the bathroom. It's not hard to find. It's in the room across from the one we were in. I walk down a long and narrow corridor to get there, and on my way there I see a couple making out in the dark. They don't stop when they hear me approach. I'm more weirded out by the fact that they were making out with masks on than them not stopping when I neared them. The bathroom is cool and clean. It's also empty. I lock myself in one of the stalls and empty my bladder. I'm glad I stayed. I'm having a good time despite my hesitance earlier. The door to the bathroom opens and two or more women shuffle inside. One of them is crying hysterically, and I feel so out of place that I hold my breath so I don't interrupt what's happening. "I can't believe him!" one of them is s

Luca I watch Laura walk away and return to the party. She won't stay long now that she knows I'm here. To be frank, her hatred toward me intrigues me. I'm not sure what I've done to her to deserve this treatment. From what I've heard, she's an agreeable and friendly person, however, when it comes to me, her anger becomes palpable. I want to know why. I push myself off the wall and head in the opposite direction. If I walk past the toilets, I'll reach my office. It isn't exclusively mine, but I tend to use it sometimes. I open the door and find Gregory inside. He's just ended a phone call. I place the mask on the table and ask, "Is she gone?""Yeah, with all her friends," he answers. "I don't know how she got in here without an invitation. We didn't want to cause a scene by asking her to leave.""You did well," I tell him. "But I don't want this to repeat itself. I want to be informed as soon as she's at the door."Gregory has been my head of security for many years. The reason wh

"I can't believe this," I say, absolutely flabbergasted. Brett scoffs. "How the fuck does something like this even happen?"We're practically alone in the parking lot since everyone else is in the party. It doesn't look or sound like anyone in there is going home anytime soon. I can't see how something like this would have happened without any of us having noticed earlier. This is the odd part for me. I look around the parking lot. I don't see anyone. I don't see anything beneath the car either. "The car was fine," Victoria adds. "It was fine. I mean, I didn't feel like you drove over anything, Brett.""Neither did I!"I pat my sweaty forehead. This conversation isn't getting us anywhere and I'm honestly desperate to get home so I don't cross paths with Luca Ferrante again. I'm honestly bothered by everything that has happened tonight. I should've known that there was something wrong with the invitation. Who would have invited us to such a lavish party? I should have known. I'm both

I switch my phone on in the morning and just as expected, I get an almost immediate call from Brett and Victoria. I groan groggily and turn on my side in my bed. I answer with a weak, “Yeah?”I can hardly hear them. They’re already shouting. I roll my eyes and wait for them to quiet down. There’s no way that I can explain myself like this. I say to them, “I can’t even hear you, you know that?”“Why didn’t you tell us about Luca Ferrante!?” Brett says. “You willingly kept this information from us, you bitch!”“I told you everything there is to know about that man.”“You didn’t tell us he was a Greek god!” Victoria exclaims. “Well, a Roman god in this case. God, Laura. What were you thinking?”“Yeah, why would you keep this from us?”I can’t stand it. I sit up and tuck my hair behind my ears. “You two sound crazy, do you know that? Do you think that his appearance matters here? Do you think that I’d ever want to marry a man because of his good looks? He could have been an old man and I

After Vinnie left, I was given the most unexpected news. We have a dinner with the Ferrante family. Just when I thought things couldn't get worse, the universe piles this on top of me. I didn't want to hear more about that family, much less see them. I'm getting ready with tears of anger brimming in my eyes. I wish I could tell them that I don't wish to go anywhere, but that'll lead to some kind of fight with mom and that's even worse than dining with the Ferrantes. The despair I feel is palpable. I don’t know how I’m going to get rid of these people. I want to go back to my old life where I didn’t even know them. As I apply blush to my cheeks, I try not to cry. There’s nothing worse than to feel like your life is out of your control. I have no say in what I do. It’s like my life doesn’t belong to me. I have to sit through dinner and endure the man that has been stalking me for weeks, and nobody understands why I don’t want to. Not even my closest friends. Again, they’re not to b

LucaI'm the last to see Laura, mostly because I want us to be alone for a long time. There's a lot I have to say to her, and I suspect that there's a lot she wants to say to me. She recovered well, and the doctors expect that she'll recuperate fairly quickly. She's tough. She broke a few ribs during her fall and fractured her skull, but she'll be just fine. It could have been a lot worse. She could have died. She could have been paralyzed from the neck down. But she survived. When I saw the crime scene, I realized that a miracle must have happened, because there was no way she had made it out alive when Miguel and Mary had over twenty guns in the apartment with them. The bloody scene was also an indication that something terrible had happened. We didn't have the details, but the police connected the dots fairly quickly. Miguel and Mary were lovers. Judging by the evidence they found, he was involved in the shooting. I was disappointed. Beyond that. I had no words for what I felt. I

I crack my eyes open. The light ahead is too bright, so I close my eyes for a while longer before opening them again. My head spins. I'm awake yet tired. My closed eyes make me fall back asleep. When I awake, I'm in the same place, but my mind is so hazy that I'm having a hard time figuring out where I am. I look to my left. My head practically snaps in that direction. There is someone beside me. Someone in white clothes. I look at her face, and her eyes widen a little and she leaves the bedroom. I groan. I wanted to ask her where I was and who she was, but I couldn't open my lips. My tongue is too heavy in my mouth. When she returns, she isn't alone. There's a man in a white coat beside her. He says, "Laura. Laura. Can you hear me?"How does he know my name?I fall asleep to the sound of his voice. I sleep easily. I dream of nothing. I have no concrete thoughts. I wonder where I am and wonder when my head will stop being so fuzzy. When I reopen my eyes, I see something interesting

“Stop!” Mary shouts. We both turn to look at her. She takes a few steps and reaches Miguel’s side. She stretches her arm out. “Give it to me.”“Why?”“I should be the one to do it,” she says. “Just as you’re the one who’s going to kill Luca. That was the plan. That’s what we agreed on.”“We never agreed on anything like that,” he says with a frown. “It was my idea to lure her here and so I have to be the one to do it.”“Miguel,” she says through gritted teeth. “Give me the knife!”I can’t believe they’re fighting over who’s going to kill me. It’s truly unbelievable. I look back and forth between them helplessly. If I stand, he might stab me in the back to stop me from reaching the door and that’ll ruin all of my chances of escaping. I don’t want to die here. I can’t die here. I’m suddenly so desperate to leave here and live. I want to see Luca again. I want to see my father again. Constance. My friends. I can’t die here at the hands of these deranged people. I can’t be another victim
The Mob Boss’s Girl Chapter Seventy-Nine
It took everything within me to come here. I park outside the apartment building. I stare at the third floor. The windows are all closed. It's hard to imagine her in there, in my apartment. Polluting my sacred space with her negative energy and bad intentions. I climb out of the car. I don't allow myself to think. She wants this to end, we can end it now. I've hidden behind people for far too long now, and look what has happened. I can't let anyone else die because she's targeting me. That's cruel. I'm just as bad as her if I let such a thing happen. I didn't tell Luca. I didn't tell anyone I was coming here. I'm unarmed. I didn't call for help. There is no plan. There is just me. Me and her. As it's supposed to be. I close the door and take a deep breath before entering the building. The sun is starting to set and the sky looks beautiful; too beautiful for such a thing to be happening. The oranges and the purples are magnificent. I'll never forget the way the sky looked when I con
The Mob Boss’s Girl Chapter Seventy-Eight
Yesterday feels like a terrible nightmare. Twenty-four hours has passed since those men stormed into the hotel and shot seven people. Seven people lost their lives, Luca's father and my mother were amongst the dead. I can't believe it. I repeat the facts to myself over and over again and still can't believe that such a tragedy has happened. It can't be possible that my mother is dead. That Luca's father is dead. And all because of some silly revenge that doesn't matter. All because I fell in love with Luca.I'm devastated. I don't think I'll recover from this anytime soon. I'm crippled by pain. And the worst part of all of this is Luca's pain and how raw it is. Marc didn't deserve to die at the hands of those traitorous shooters. I call them traitorous because they were invited to the party under some head of some family I don't even remember. It doesn't matter. What's done is done. We've lost two members of our family. My father is inconsolable. Sarah is inconsolable. Luca is abso
The Mob Boss’s Girl Chapter Seventy-Seven
The wedding ceremony was absolutely beautiful. It was only Luca's family, mine, and Brett and Victoria. We didn't need a lot of people there. I've learned during all of this that Luca doesn't necessarily have a lot of friends. He has people he is very well acquainted with, but no close friends. He doesn't let anyone get close enough to him, because there's a side to him that he only shows the people he loves and he needs to keep it protected. It's too tender to be exposed to the world. I consider myself to privileged to be loved by him. He takes care of the people he loves. He knows how to love. I said yes with tears in my eyes. I didn't think I'd cry, but I did. Everything feel so official now. We're finally married. I'm his wife, not his fiancée. It's strange to think that I became his wife without having been his girlfriend first. It's just one of the many thoughts I had when he slipped the wedding band on my finger. We kissed and he held me for the longest time. I was hesitant
The Mob Boss’s Girl Chapter Seventy-Six
Luca Our wedding is tomorrow, and I'm not sure what to feel about that. It’s not that I’ve suddenly become indecisive. I know I want to marry her. I’m sure of my love for her. I’m not happy that we’re marrying this quickly but I also understand why it has to be done. My father was right; anything could happen to me at any point. If that’s the case, Laura is entitled to everything I have. It’s safer this way. But despite this, should we have given it more time? Would it have been best if we waited for things to blow over? That way, we could I have done things more calmly and wouldn’t have to rush like this. I don’t know anymore. I turn to look at Laura. Her back is facing me and she looks like she’s been asleep for some time now. I notice that she doesn’t really sleep at night. She spends a lot of nights awake; like me. So whenever she sleep, I feel easy enough to sleep as well. But tonight is different. I don’t want to sleep. If I do, I’ll wake up and it’ll be tomorrow. The weddi

"How's my favorite preggie doing?" Brett asks as soon as I answer the phone. I can't help but smile as I pop a grape in my mouth. "I don't feel pregnant yet, you know? It's just normal. I won't even lie."He chuckles and says, "You're just a cold-hearted bitch. My mother said that she could feel me from the second she found out that she was pregnant.""You haven't considered the fact that maybe she lied?" Victoria asks. I can tell from the sound of her voice that she's looking for a fight with Brett. "My mother said she didn't feel me either.""Well, that's you," he says with a sigh. "I'm different, then. Maybe those babies are the most magnificent and remarkable ones."I frown. "You're saying my baby won't be remarkable?""How can you say that?""I'm not saying the baby won't be remarkable!" he exclaims. "I'm saying that I was! Jesus! Give it a rest, you two! Stop being so annoying! Just stop!"I giggle and Victoria does the same. She then says, "I can't believe that we didn't get t
The Mob Boss’s Girl Chapter Seventy-Four
When Luca asked me whether I wanted to marry him anytime soon, I said yes. I would have waited longer if it were up to me. I really would have. I had no problem living the way we did. Alone. Free. Not caring about what anyone thinks. Not following traditions too much. It was the liberty I felt when I left my parents' house. But now that I was pregnant, that all changes. My father would want a date. And I'd have to give it to him. So I did. Things were happening quickly again. I was feeling quite overwhelmed with everything. My father was very happy when I told him I was pregnant. He was even happier when I told him I'd marry Luca in two weeks' time. He was strict about that even though he wasn't raised in our world. My mother was ecstatic as well. I never in a million years would have guessed that she would have reacted that way to the news. She even cried as she held me. I didn't know how to react so I simply watched her. The same happened with Constance, although with her my re
