I tangle in the sheets and blankets, laying on my stomach with a pillow covering my head. I lift my elbow slightly, the pillow tumbles over. My eyes were squinting as the sun shone through the curtains making me groan and lay my head back on the bed. I slowly turn over to my back, my arm reaching to rest over my eyes. My alarm starts going on and off making me basically wanna die. It was blaring a random song I had in my music library and it just seemed to be getting louder and louder. Without opening my eyes I reached for my phone which is kept on the bedside table, I pressed a button and it went off. I turn around groaning, I didn’t get enough sleep last night. I turn around and begin to slowly open my eyes, before sitting upright. I stretch my arm and I turn around and notice that Richie wasn’t in bed. I wonder where he is. I take the covers off and head into the bathroom to freshen up. I don’t have any new clothes so I just wash my face and as I open the door and I see Richie st
I have finished getting ready to meet Rebecca at the salon, days ago we planned on getting our hair done together. I want to ask Rebecca if we can postpone until tomorrow but after missing her calls and messages, I don’t think I am in the right place to change our plans. I also have to pack my things from home and get it here since I will now be staying with Richie. I also met some of Richie’s family members. Richie has two step-siblings, Emma and John. The rest of the family members I met are cousins, they came for John’s wedding which will commence in two weeks. John wants a simple wedding so the media doesn’t know about it. He plans on letting the world know about his marriage a month after it. John and Emma seem okay, they are not that bad and I like them already, mostly because they didn’t leave my hand hanging in the air like Emily did. While taking a shower, I did much thinking and I decided to tell Rebecca everything today, I have never told her about my mom or my true self, I
I am sitting on a chair while Marta’s co-worker Layla is working on my makeup. My brain has been pacing around for five minutes trying to figure out what in the hell is going on and the hell I saw. My mind is blasting with questions and I feel like one more question will blast me up. Why will Richie lie to me, it doesn’t make any sense. I saw the plank fall on his arm, I saw the blood streaming from his body. It’s not possible, I know what I saw, Richie can’t be lying. But at the same time, my mind keeps telling me I’m wrong, it doesn’t make any sense, if Richie is truly hurt then how was he did he slam his hand against the car without feeling any pain?There was no sign of pain on his face. When Rebecca told me to stop the car, I saw Richie, I guess his car broke down and he was repairing it when he suddenly got frustrated and slammed his hand on it. He didn’t look like he was in pain, in fact, he looked angry; he probably must have finished arguing with someone. It is shocking bec
~ RACHEL POVA few days have passed by since the engagement party. Richie’s arm is getting better and he now doesn’t need to wrap a bandage around it. Things had been pretty good and Richie has been very busy both with work and the preparation for John’s wedding. It is so hard to plan a wedding without the media knowing about it. Just as much as Richie is busy, I am also busy. I did a lot of digging for the last couple of days and I have come to discover that Richie Moranzino is hiding behind a fake name that is now being used by the government. I still haven’t gotten the full information about this but once I find out everything, I will avenge my revenge. I’m just a step away from beginning to ruin Richie’s life. That’s a good thing right?Apart from that, I have gotten to know more about Richie’s family members, especially his stepbrother's fiancé Alice. She’s my favorite so far, she is very nice, considerate, friendly and very funny to talk to. I never knew she is such a darling
"Ruin her wedding? Are you drunk? Why will I do that." I say in disbelief.I know Emily doesn’t like me but accusing me of ruining Alice's wedding is just too far."Oh please, stop acting so innocent. I knew that you aren’t good enough the moment your little pussy stepped into this house but what I didn’t know is that you are a wedding whacker.""Enough Emily. Just shut up!" Richie yells at her "What the hell is wrong with you? You can’t talk to Rachel like that."Emily didn’t say a word afterward and I didn’t bother to give her my own share of remark. All I care about is Alice. I don’t really understand what she’s going through but I do know that she is hurt. I walked toward her and she instantly moves away not wanting me to touch her."Not now Rachel," John says; his voice soft and calm.Alice sniffles her tears and she finally looks at me. Her eyes were a bit swollen from the tears she had just shed."Rachel, why?" She says "I think of you as my little sister. I don’t think that I
"You should put those there," I say to the servants that are holding the red carpet. They nod and I tick it mark on my checklist. I approach the other servant that appears to be in his early twenties. "No Ross, she wants white flowers not pink. Change them immediately." I say walking out to the lawn to check if everything is set."Oh wow, that is so beautiful. Great job you guys." I tell the gardeners that are shaping the tree in a heart shape. Now I know you’ll are wondering what’s going on. Well for starters, this is a surprise and to top it all up it’s a surprise wedding for Alice. John knows about it but Alice doesn’t. I don’t want her to know about it at least not until everything is done. I know everyone is stressed and I, in particular, am more stressed than anyone else. I didn’t even get a pleasant sleep last night because I kept thinking about Alice and what I can do to make it up to her. I know how it feels when your past keeps reflecting on your present. It’s like a heal
It’s been a week since Alice’s wedding. I am so glad that nothing bad happened to anyone during those days. I was so worried that the Russians will come and ruin everything but I guess it’s just my anxiety talking. Tonight; Richie and I are having dinner at Cappadocia Restaurant; it’s the most amazing restaurant in America. And the invite is almost impossible to get but you know, it can’t be impossible for Richie Moranzino. I look at my reflection one last time before heading out of the room. I am wearing a black cocktail dress Marta recently designed for me. It’s very beautiful and it fits like a glove, hugging in the right places. It is an off-shoulder gown so it is wrapped around my shoulders, showing my neck which I top up with a simple Cartier necklace. I stepped into a pair of black heels, grabbed my purse, and then head out of the room. Walking down the stairs, I see Richie pacing around in the living room. "Yes... yes, of course. That will not be happening." Richie says, ta
AIDEN SMIRNOV’S POVI am working with my puzzle box when one of my men walked into the room.He better has something good to say otherwise he will join his colleagues in their graves."я прихожу с миром и ухожу с миром [I come in peace and I leave in peace]" He says with his gaze down. No one dares to look me in the eye"Поговори со мной [Speak to me]" I say"Каждое их движение фиксируется, как вы и сказали. Я просто жду приказа, как только вы дадите мне слово, я приму их все [Every movement of theirs is being captured like you said it should. I am just waiting for orders, once you give me the word, I will take them all]""Я не хочу их всех, по крайней мере пока. [I don't want them all, at least not yet.]" I say with an expressionless smirk. I continue to play with my puzzle box. Two more sides left to complete this damn thing. "Убедись, что с моими дамами ничего не случится. Я позабочусь о них сам. [Make sure that nothing happens to my ladies. I will take care of them myself.]" I say

~ RICHIE’S POVI wake up to the same throbbing headache I feel every day. I groan, turning around, I lay on my stomach with the pillow covering my head. I know I shouldn’t be taking too much alcohol every day but I have no choice, it’s the one thing in my life that makes me feel better, the only thing that makes me sleep at night. Turning around, I begin to drown myself in the blissful sleep I badly need but the sun shines through my window and lands its ray directly on my face forbidding me from getting that sleep. I turn away from the ray of sunshine and try to sleep but it just didn’t happen. I release a groan. I guess I need something heavy to get me to sleep. I sit up from bed and stretch my arms and as a yawn escapes my mouth, I already feel like I’m going to hate this day like I do every single day. I turn around and grab my leftover bottle of whiskey. Taking a sip out of it, I feel a wave of nausea wash over me. I try to hold it back but just like every morning it defeated
My heart is pounding as I try to figure out who has spoken. I look around and see Alexander walking down the aisle. My face twisted in a look of total bewilderment and confusion. But then, suddenly, softens when I see a familiar face behind him. My heart stops for a moment as my balance loosens making me step back a little. My brain stops functioning momentarily and I feel like I’m losing my mind.No, It can’t be possible, my eyes must be deceiving me. He is not who I think he is. I feel my heart racing at a sudden speed as they walk closer to me. I take a complete look at him. My eyes bulge and my heart rate speeds up. "Da-dd?" I mumble, my voice trembling with emotion.His eyes meet mine and I see sadness and concern in them. "Delilah." He calls me by my first name, his voice filled with emotion."Ezra," Richie says, his voice filled with a profound weight. The sound reverberates in my mind, and I can sense the tension in the air. Suddenly, Papa's voice booms through the chaos, excl
~ RACHEL’S POVDear Richie We’re getting married today and it feels so surreal. I never thought I’d be this lucky, but here we are, starting the rest of our lives together. It’s crazy how love works, isn't it? You were never the man of my dreams, yet my heart knew you were, all along.I find joy being with you. You’re where my heart belongs, my soul lies and without you, I’m incomplete. I love you so much. I love you more than words can express, and I can't wait to walk down the aisle to become your wife. I wish I had the best words for you but unfortunately, all the best writers have already claimed them, but that’s okay because if our story was a novel, you’d be my favorite character. I love you and I will always will. ~ Love Rach.After writing the letter, I fold it and put it inside an envelope. I've been meaning to write something to Richie for a long time to express my deepest feelings to him. I'm so glad that I finally took the time to put my thoughts on paper and tell him
~ PAPA’S POVI push the door open and hear the familiar creak before shutting it behind me. The darkness of the room engulfs me, so I make my way forward and fumble for the light switch. Finally finding it, I flip it on and the first person I see is the man tied to a chair."Hello, old friend. [Ciao, vecchio amico.]" I say walking toward the table. I take my taser and check if it’s fully charged, once confirmed. I walk over to him, pull a chair, and sit in front of him.Releasing a deep breath I see how he’s sleeping peacefully as if nothing matters anymore. It’s almost like the world fades away around him and he worries. I hate to see him at peace, at least not when his daughter's life is about to crumble into pieces. It’s so not fair how is he sleeping peacefully on this uncomfortable chair while I can not sleep on the most comfortable bed ever. Life should not be this unfair, at least not to me. I am the Mafia King, I get whatever I want from whoever I want.I look between him and

I wake up to a sharp and intense pain in my stomach that makes me curl up in a ball. I groan feeling the pain getting worse. I release a heavy breath holding onto my stomach hoping the pain will go away but it doesn’t. Groaning, I turn around and I feel my stomach crumple painfully. My eyes shoot open and I immediately realize what it means. It’s that time of the month. "Oh shit!" I screech taking the covers off. I quickly grab my pantie, towel, and toiletries from the mini wardrobe before I head into the bathroom to clean myself up. I locked the bathroom door so Richie wouldn’t get in, not that he’s done that before but I don’t want to take a risk. I so much hate this time of the month, I mean the whole deal about it is so stressful and exhausting. Not to mention, the annoying painful cramps, mood swings, flow, overflow, and worse, the stain. I just hate it, it’s too much to handle. I sometimes wish there was a way to make it easier, but I know that it's just something I have to

~ RACHEL’S POVDear Richie,I never thought I will feel anything for you other than hate. I thought my hatred for you will spread throughout my body and that I will only get joy when I see you in pain but now I know that’s just a phase. I cannot see you in any kind of suffering without my heart burning. You mean so much to me. You’re my heart, my soul, and everything that makes me happy. With you around, everything seems to be perfect even the worst things. I just want to let you know how much I love you and how much you mean to me but words keep failing me as I try to do that. You are the love of my entire existence, you made me realize I have more than just one purpose, and you've shown me more love than I ever could have imagined. You've filled every part of my heart and soul with your love, and I'm so grateful for every moment we spend together.From the bottom of my heart, Richie. I say that no matter what happens, what changes, I will always love you and I will always be there
