"Do you think this is the best thing?" Waylen have his arm folded as he look down at his two brothers. He was taken by surprise when his guards came to tell him that Chase was in his living room and Rowan had arrived around 20 minutes later. Chase had approached him that they've something to ask about. He had acted cool, like there's nothing wrong or anything. "I don't give a dim if it's the best thing or nah ! But Edward had bitten more he can chew. " Chase said plainly, he have a smoke in his mouth. Rowan nodded in agreement and turn to look at Waylen. "I agree with Chase. I think Edward and his son are getting more too far, they call on this war and we should give it to them. That's exactly what they wanted.""Will you talk to Father about this yet?""Why!? Do I need to tell him before I get rid of a threat? Fuck sake, he doesn't need to know everything.""Edward is his brother." Waylen further said and Rowan interrupts him. "And Grayson is our brother" Rowan added. "And both
CALISTA RAYMONDS I walked back downstairs in a hurry, attracting Luciano and May's attention to myself. They seem to be having a talk until I walked in. I've forgotten that I've just arrived to my new home and I don't even know much ways around here. But I need to go out, I need to see her. Her voice was shaking and it seems something is gonna happen to her if she didn't find anyone to talk to. I know I shouldn't be worried at why out of everyone, she choose to talk to me. I mean, Charlotte and I are so not in good terms. We both know that pretty well. We disliked eachother almost immediately so it's kind of odd what she wants to see and talk to me. Remembering how she had dumped me in a rain one time, that should be enough reason for me to say no to her right? But I couldn't. Her voice, her tone of voice is one I've never heard. Charlotte used to speak with confidence, authority and she have a high tone but not this time, her voice was surprisingly low. "Lucia ..." My father ca
CHARLOTTE I bite my fingers as my eyes prey outside of the restaurant. Waiting for Calista, I couldn't imagine bringing myself this low to talk to the same lady I had cursed and hated for no reason. But I'm tired. I know, once I've leaked this little secret and expose Grayson and his father, they'll be after me. My eyes stare round the garage. Making sure he haven't asked any of his men to follow me since I clearly told him I'm no longer interested. My heart beat lessened up a beat when there was no suspicious eye. Perhaps he might have thought that since he threatened me, I won't have the nerves to speak up and too, he won't believe that I'll ever try to leak my dirty past by myself. I was saddened. It's almost like I started regretting everything I've done now. I was blinded with jealously and obsession that I couldn't see myself going crazy. Chase will be mad at me, he's going to hate me so much that he wish to kill me with his bare hands, if he wouldn't. If I had truly lov
CALISTA RAYMONDSWalking out of the restaurant, I made my way to the car and these two guards, whom I had already forgotten was here with me immediately opened the door for me. I muttered a thank you to them and got in, then I waited for him to get in too as the driver is already in. The second guard who isn't driving and whole I had just find out his was "Carl" looked at me from the rear mirror. He could feel or he could notice the worry in my face or the fear in my eyes. "Are you okay ma'am? I thought the call was urgent but you didn't even stay up to five minutes."I raised my eyes to look at Carl, he was staring at from through the rear mirror still. "My friend is in danger." I said slowly to him. It isn't safe to say this but I needed to. Afterall, they are solider and can handle whatever than comes their way. Neither Carl nor Lucas, the driver said anything immediately. It was like they were waiting for me to say something now. "Can you drive to Chase's apartment? I need t
I dashed into Chase's apartment. The guards let me in, but they had first of all check on Carl and Lucas and they wouldn't let them go in with me. I wasn't gonna let them either. The both Mafia group seems to be enemies. Neither Carl and Lucas nor the guards of Chase seems okay with the presence of eachother, but that isn't my worry..Chase wasn't in the sitting room. So I had to walk myself upstairs. The familiar scent of these particular building already filled my nostrils. I missed here, I missed how it makes me feels. I opened his door and stepped in , he wasn't in here either but I heard the shower running. Slowly, I walk to sit on the bed with the intention to wait for him. Two minutes later, Chase walked out of the bathroom and he looked shocked seeing me. I bite my lower lips as I stare at his abs. He is so perfect isn't he? Trust me, I don't know the best word to use in describing how perfect Chase is. And it's almost like with each passing day, he does nothing but glow
"Fuck it!!" Chase cursed immediately Calista was out of the room.He had fuckin lost it that he didn't even realize when he said those words to her. He swallowed and tried to calm himself down. The pain in her eyes when she said those words to her, it was readable. And he wished he had sad that to her. But she was driving him crazy without even knowing. She needs to learn the need to keep away from someone like him. He have lived a dirty life, life thar is just full of games and enemies. She needs to just get rid of whatever she's feeling. He was holding his back too. As much as he had wanted to pull her up from the ground and have her wrap her legs around her waist, and kiss her tenderly.. he wanted to clean those tears in her eyes and heal the wound in her heart, but he couldn't. Not that he couldn't, he didn't want to. It's better to make her believe he's not interested in her than in danger her life in his Dirty life. It's true that she's now a Mafia queen and she'll learn h
When Calista got home, she founds out that her father wasn't around, May told her so. He had gotten an urgent call and need to go handle it, night was already fast falling. Calista is sitting on this big dining room with May, she hasn't really put much mind on who May really was, maybe because she knew already on her know. May is her father second wife. "Are you okay?" She interrupted her thoughts and slowly, Calista looks up at her before nodding. "Am fine" she still muttered. May flashed her a smile and begin eating her meal too, Calista didn't start immediately, she observes May. Then she started eating but the food wasn't really tasty in her mouth. Today hadn't been a good day for her so, Calista didn't feel too good eating the meal, she wanted to get off and walk to her room but her stomach grumble, she was hungry afterall. "You'll be attending the Mafia's Ball Party tomorrow, Your first ever, with us." May was smiling. She was trying to start up a conversation but it se
EMMANUELLE I woke up to not meeting Waylen in the room, which made me worried and wondered where he must have left to. My head was banging which made me believe I had woken up with a headache. Almost as if Waylen knew I was awake, the door of the room opened as he walked in. Carrying a tray of food I guess, he place it calmly ok the side table and walked over to my side to place a kiss on my forehead. "Good Morning." He beat me to saying that. I smiled. "Good Morning,Babe." He kiss me again, this time it was on my lips and it's a quick one. "Eww Waylen, I hadn't even brushed." I told him and look away, I heard him chuckle as he brought down the tray to place it ok his laps. "I didn't complain, did I?". I didn't answer him but I only smiled. Smiled at how sweet he is, it seems like he had woken up with a full energy. He was up to something and us trying to get me to stick with him, its exciting and fun to watch how the ruthless Mafia is acting like this In front of me. I love
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
