It's 11:30 am and I'm still in my room. Actually, I was trying to avoid Chase, I just don't think I can stand seeing him again after what happened at 9 in the morning. But I'm really tasty and need some water, there's no way I can get the maids to get it to my room or else I call for them. And still, there's no way I can call them if I don't walk out of this room which I don't want to! Chase is just next door and will definitely know when I call a maid. I slowly open the door and look at the hall way, Chase was not there so I went ahead to come out fully and slowly shut my door trying not to make any noise.Taking another step away from my door, I looked at Chase's door and it was closed but not locked. I made my way downstairs and successfully climb down the stairs without hearing his door open or seeing him, I walk into the kitchen and take out the bottled water from the fridge then uncap it and drink up the water.Capping the bottle water once more, I started making my way
CALISTA RAYMONDS I lean back on the car as Chase drives the car with a slow music playing. Actually I'm excited same time exhausted, Chase didn't quite participate in any thing as he just sit back and press his phone all long while I just went on to have fun. I turned my face and look at him then smiles, the way his face is when he's focused on something is captivating.And, I don't mind drooling over him, he's just too perfect to not be noticed. "What are you thinking, Princess?" He asked me with a foreign accent that made me stare at him.Did he just call me a princess with an accent? "Nothing." I smiled at him, he turned his face and focus on the road again."Anywhere else you wanna go?" He asked me and I shake my head negatively. "I'm tired and just need to rest" I told him and he nodded and increase his speed.My eyes suddenly lands on the rear mirror and I noticed a black Jeep following us. Well, I'm not sure if it's actually following us. I am, we are at a high
Mr John Gotti walked into the sitting room, of his guards have come to tell him he have a visitor. He isn't the type that welcome's visitors in his main apartment but when he was told it's his brother, he have to leave everything he's doing and walk to the sitting room to meet him.During Rowan's Inititation ceremony, he have seen him but because the place is crowded, they didn't get to talk or even greet each other. John is taken aback by the sudden return of his brother who disappeared twenty one years ago during his Inititation ceremony and now he returned during Rowan's ceremony. Perfect taming!. No matter how nice Edward Gotti try to act , John won't get deceived. He knows his brother very well and know he's always mischievous.He either have something he's planning or he's after something. Edward is the type that will go as far as killing his loved ones just to get what ever he wants. He believes he owns everything and that was why he couldn't handle it when he found
CALISTA RAYMONDS I lay down on my bed feeling extra weak and tired, it's evening and I didn't want to sleep cause I know if I do, I might not be able to sleep at night. My mind drifted to what just happened on our way back and I sighed. This is like the very first time I'd see a gun and I didn't just see the gun, I saw the gun being shoot, right at us! And this means that even in this house, Chase must have a gun hidden somewhere. I felt scared not because Chase is going to shoot me with the gun one day, but because I don't know how safe I am. My stomach grumble and I realized I haven't eaten anything, I'm hungry. I stood up from the bed and went to change my cloth before walking of my room. I stop and stare at Chase's room, it was slightly opened. Normally, I'll have been curious and walk to peep but this time? I'm scared of Chase and I don't think I'll be able to talk or go out with him ever again. I'm just a 20 years old lady, I still have a long away ahead of me and I
Emma stood at the side road and stare around. She didn't even know where she's at as she is just new to the town. She couldn't even call the person her boss had given her his number to come pick her up, she had run out of battery and it's getting late.All she knows is that she's in the city of Moscow but don't know exactly where. She had just been posted to work as a full time house maid for a man. But the man's picture was not shown to her neither was she given a name.Her boss have only gave her a phone number and ask her to call the number once she arrives at the airport. But she have run out of battery and now, she's stuck without knowing where to go. She stare at the busy road that has car driving up and down non stop. She have been standing there for the past five minutes but it seems like there's no road sign to enable people walking by feet to cross over.Sighing, she's determined to cross the road to the other side so can ask for help. Without thinking twice, she
Waylen walked into the hospital ward with mask, covering his face to avoid getting attention from the nurses and others. This isn't his Private hospital, His driver have texted him the address of the hospital the girl was admitted, since it's urgent, his driver have to just admit her in the closest hospital.It's 10:23Pm when Waylen arrived at the hospital. His driver had returned back home after the doctor's have take care of Emma. Waylen walked into the doctor's office and saw him arranging some file, obviously he's the night emergency doctor.Closing the door behind him, Waylen removed his mask and that was when the doctor turned to him and asked him to sit down. Ofcourse, he's recognized. "You came this late to a hospital Mr Waylen, is everything okay?" The doctor asked.Waylen didn't say a word immediately, he just walk and sit down. "A lady was admitted here about an hour ago, she had a car accident. I'm here to see her" Waylen said."Oh, you mean Emma?" Waylen looke
CALISTA RAYMONDS I checked the time again and again worried that Chase is not yet back. It's midnight and he's not yet back.Now, I'm starting to feel bad. What if something have happened to him. We literally just got attacked earlier today and for him to leave the house again without saying where going to makes me sick. Tyrell's sudden outburst added to my fears too. He have suddenly shouted that Chase shouldn't be going out the moment I told him about the attack.I'm pretty sure Chase can protect himself, I mean , this isn't the first time something like this might have happened in his life. Ofcourse he's a Mafia and there will always be gunshot. Maybe it's because I actually care about him that made me feel so anxious. I look at the time again, it's already 12 and he's not yet back neither is Tyrell.My heart was racing faster than usual. I don't want him to get hurt, with what happened earlier, I don't think it's safe for him to roam around till this time. I sigh and tr
Charlotte paced up and down in the sitting room at 6:25AM in the morning. She had just gotten a call that woke her up from her sleep and have her pacing around like an anxious cat. She stopped and stare at her phone, the message she was expecting is not yet there. Angry, Charlotte throw her phone on the chair and shattered her hair in anger. As much as she tries to calm herself down, she just couldn't . She just can't be at peace while someone is out there trying to snatch away what's hers. She stopped pacing and sits down tapping her foot on the floor anxiously. She can't let this happen right under her nose. A message beep on her phone and she walk to where the phone was laying, the screen was already broken but she didn't care, she's going to replace it later any way.She opens the message on her android phone and stare at the picture someone had just sent to her. Chewing her tongue in anger, Charlotte throw the phone on the ground again. She's so mad right now and she'
CALISTA LUCIA PROFACI "You were brave and you fought to the very end. I know you're happy where ever you are. I know you meet your sister already... We all miss you over here!" I dropped the flower on the grave of Charlotte and stood there for the next couple of minutes. Today makes it 2 years since she died and truth be told, I've never been able to get rid of the thought about her. We didn't get to spend time together as friends, but the little while with her was great. Charlotte was amazing and a brave lady and I adore her so much for that. Three Years Ago, the doctor had told us Charlotte was in Coma and might or might not survive but if she do survive, chances of brain damage was high. I didn't know which was better - Her waking up and not knowing any single thing about the world , more like being a baby again or just staying in Coma? It was after 8 months of Charlotte not waking up that the Doctor finally broke it down to us that she had died a night earlier. I was devast
EPILOGUECALISTA RAYMONDSMy whole body felt like lead. My head was pounding and my hands were detached. Groaning I tried to remember what happened. Flashes accumulated in my head as I remembered being shot. Let me put it out here, getting shot is the most painful shit ever.I remembered falling to the ground as Charlotte loud voice filled my ears. She was struggling to get up as I saw the man Edward picking up his gun again to shoot. My back was already bleeding from the bullet that was impaled in my body." Stay away from her. You dirty bagshit" Charlotte yelled as she struggled to get up. There was a gunshot again and I closed my eyes welcoming death when I felt someone drop beside me. It was Charlotte!. She took a bullet for me.That scene blurred and the next thing I knew, I could see flashes of gunshots as bullets rained down the place.... A lot of people were shouting and there were a lot of yelling as I closed my eyes again. Charlotte's head was still resting on my back. I
CHASE GOTTIFinally we were back at my mansion, Emma was crying softly and she was being comforted by Waylen who was hugging her.Rowan on the other hand, was with a girl who was hugging him. I had never seen her before but I knew one thing, if she was here with the family, she has to be very important to him.This was the moment that I wished that Calista was here. She had called me earlier but I didn't know why she was calling because she disconnected the call on purpose.I didn't call her back because I was busy trying to get my father's body to the morgue and now my brothers and I were back home discussing how to revenge.This was going to be a bloody war. We already have men and ammunition and we had decided to strike the next morning before they could expect it.I took a deep inhale on my cigar and drank it down with liquor. I wasn't going to get drunk anytime soon I was just washing down the pain, finding out the real killers of Madison, watching my father die before my ey
CHARLOTTE "You are....a.....monster" I croaked out as I dragged myself towards the table. Grayson was standing and holding the gun. Hours ago, he shot me right in my laps and I have been bleeding out ever since. Ever since the initial shock, he left me to scream for hours due to the pain until I fell asleep.Then he woke me up roughly and I saw that he was with his father Edward and both of them had forced me into making a call. Bringing Calista here so that they could end her.I refused but they tortured me and promised me a slow death so I had no choice. I tried to give Calista a clue when I told her don't come secretly and call Chase. Luckily the men didn't bother to pay that much attention but it was vague.Knowing Calista, I knew that she would come here definitely and she would come all alone. She always hated depending on people and she would not start now at accept help."A monster? You are the one responsible for your twin death. Sometimes I wonder, what do you do to cope
CALISTA RAYMONDSI had ignored my dad after I got home. I had nothing to say to him anyways. He may be a Mafia but he wasn't my mother.....not my real mother anyways. This type of stuffs were discussed mostly with mothers. Besides if he found out that I was crying because of Chase, he would just order for him to be executed which would make it more worse. Or prevent him from seeing me ever again. So my dad was a no go option and May and I weren't that close enough to talk to her. True, she wasn't like that evil step mother's that always hated their step kids but this was a new territory for me. I barely knew her. I stayed in my room the entire day. I didn't come out for lunch and my dad and his wife May had no choice but to leave me alone. I had spent the entire morning sobbing my eyes out and now I was just numb.I brought out my phone, Chase hasn't called me back. I wondered what he was doing now that he wouldn't get back to me. I dropped the phone back. There was no need pining
CHASE GOTTI"Where is father?" I asked as soon as I saw Rowan and Waylen. "The doctor is inside with him. They are doing their best, although he was hurt badly. " Rowan said as I slid to the floor."Do you think he will survive?" I asked but as expected, I didn't get any reply."I got coffee." I heard Emma say as she walked towards us holding four coffee cups. I immediately thought about what Calista told me about her being pregnant and I could not help but glance at her stomach. It still look normal, it was normal for Waylen not to say anything now. So I pretended I didn't know."Chase you are here finally. Where is Calista?. I got coffee for each and every one of you. Why did you not bring her along?" She asked as I shrugged."Umm, it didn't really bother me then. Besides she is tired " I lied. I had no idea where Calista was, if she had gone home or if she was still in the penthouse or if she was looking for me. I took one of the coffee and drank as she gave to the rest.J
CALISTA RAYMONDSI still couldn't believe what happened. What started as a happy breakfast between Chase and I turned into a sudden disaster and he left me here without an explanation. I was feeling bad. I knew that Madison was his first love but seeing him react the way he did, made me wonder if he had truly gotten over her. I felt terrible for trying to compete against a dead person here but I had no choice but to feel that way.I called Chase countless times but he never picked any of my calls. He had gone out with the car and I had no idea where he was headed. He had told me to go back home and in as much I didn't want to. I had no choice so I sighed and called my dad."Hey pumpkin, how are you? Is everything alright?' he said as I sighed and replied,"Yes everything is okay. Can you send Carl to come and pick me from Chase's penthouse. I want to come home." I said as my dad quickly said,"Why is that? Did something happen? Why can't Chase take you home? Did you two fight? Talk
EMMANUELLE"Well what's the news?" Waylen said pacing around in the huge living room making me nervous. He was asking the doctors who were all taking out a test on me. He had insisted in being there which was so cute and romantic and also annoying because the doctors were all ladies and were intimidated by the guns and guards that was pointing at them."Babe, allow the doctors to work. You are giving them tension. They are scared of you. Please " I said as he looked at me and sighed,"I am nervous too. I want to know the answer and I also want to see what they are doing to you. What if I leave you alone with them and they hurt you. What will become of me? " He said as he held my hands and gave me baby eyes."There is nothing that will happen to me. Okay. I promise. We are going to be fine but if you keep on pacing, I am going to be stressed out also." I said with a smile as he nodded his head and kept quiet."We are done with the test , congratulations sir. She is a month and some wee
CHASEI was in the kitchen preparing breakfast for Calista who was still in bed when I heard someone say,"Hello handsome. You are awake?" I smiled because I knew that it was Calista that was at my back..she walked closer and wrapped her hands around my waist and hugged me."Good morning Calista. How was your night? Hope you slept well? I thought you would be asleep for a little while longer. I wanted to serve you in bed. Seems I miscalculated your exhaustion." I said as she turned to face me and said,"I slept like a baby after last night. Just sore in some places. But it wasn't your fault. Emma called me She had some big news that she wanted to tell me and it couldn't wait," She said as I nodded my head and replied,"I wonder what kind of news that she wanted to tell you that it couldn't wait. It's barely 8 am. I hope everything is okay between the two of you. " She smiled and gave me a big hug and said,"Yes everything is alright. After all it is a good news if you say so. I don't
