Charlotte stepped out of her room, it's been one hours since she finished her breakfast and had just finished packing her bags. She walked downstairs but stopped when she saw Chase, he was sitting on the double couch and drinking.Chase always drink, but he'll never drink in his house expect something is wrong. He prefers to drink at a bar or at the warehouse. Anywhere outside from his house. "Are you okay?" Charlotte asked him and walk to sit next to him.Chase hadn't noticed her presence until he heard her voice, he turn to her and nodded pouring himself another drink. "You've been drinking since morning. Stop it already " she said and made to take the glass out of his hand ."What do you think you're doing?" Chase raised his brows at her. Charlotte swallowed, she forgot Chase hates it when someone try to get something out of his hand.She sighed and led back of the couch. "I'll be going to see my parents today. I may stay there for a while but I will drop by" Charlotte sa
School is over but Calista sat back in the class, she had decided not to allow Tyrell drive her home. She's going to trek and she'll do anything to avoid Chase and Ofcourse, make him search for her.She packed her books and place them neatly in her backpack then walk out of the Laboratory, where they've just finished their project. Without looking back, Calista made her way to the school gate.Driving to her school takes up to twelve minutes to arrive and if she's to trek then she'll spend thirty minutes to one hour to arrive home. But her mind was made up and she's determined to do it. Without thinking twice, Calista start walking down the street. ____Chase sat on the couch reading a magazine. He's free today and don't feel like going anywhere. He had called Gray in advance and told him to handle any emergency that may need his attention.It's raining heavily outside and Chase wondered why Tyrell isn't yet back with Calista. His phone rang just in time and it was Tyrell.
CALISTA RAYMONDS I walk out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body. I just finished taking my bath and I felt much better. It's Morning and Chase had told me not to go anywhere so obviously my day will be bored as I just have to sit down and do nothing. Argh! He's so annoying and I wonder why he can't be considerate for once.I stood at the mirror and stare myself, smiling at my reflection I couldn't help but compliment myself. Looking at my reflection on the mirror suddenly reminds me of Emma. She use to compliment me every single day and tell me I don't need to look at the mirror since I'm already beautiful.I missed her so much and I wonder how she's coping with me, and then my mind drifted to my parents. They will really be tired of having to do the chores alone with no kid around to keep them funny. I wonder too, if my father had started drinking again.He's fond of being a drunker anytime he's passing through hard times. I pitied my mother the most, she's th
Chase raised my chin and slowly pressed his lips against mine. He used his tongue to make way into my mouth. I felt blanked out and I couldn't even think straight. Chase did not just kiss me! It must be my imagination.I'm going crazy. His mouth is so warm and his lips tastes like Cherry, in as much as I'm kind of excited that the kiss happened, I won't have him regard me as a cheap whore. I pushed him back with all my might and then, I slapped him.He just held his cheek and then smile.. and this smile,.. I haven't seen Chase smile this much."Get dressed and come downstairs Doll, you've to accompany me somewhere" Without another word he opened the door and walk out. I fall on my bed in shook. He's playing with my mind, he's trying to make me look crazy. Slowly I raised my hand and touched my lips."Why!! Why did he do that!" I shouted and kicked the floor.What did he take me for? How can he just step in, grab my chin up and kiss me without my permission! That was my firs
CALISTA RAYMONDS Chase packed the car in the garage and I alighted first, without a word I walk into the house and Chase follows after.I bite my lower lips, I don't think I can hold on for long if I'm around him. And he's been kind of nice to me since after he saved me from rain. Ah! I can't be deceived by his fake behavior, he's still the cold grumpy man everyone hates.I opened the door of my room and walk in, falling on the bed I breathed down heavily. My legs was paining me, I immediately removed the shoes I was putting on and then my jacket.A knock on my door and Tyrell walked in, I was surprised to see because he's mostly outside the house and I have wondered if he even comes into the house but seeing him now proved me wrong. "Tyrell.. it's you" I smiled at him and stood up from my bed. He gave me a little forced smiled. "Boss asks you to come in his room" he muttered. I widened my eyes."Chase want to see me? Why?" "I don't know, you will find out if you answer h
CALISTA RAYMONDS I woke up with a pounding headache, My head was hurting me like hell so I have to place my hand on my head as I try to stop the pain.I had also realize I'm laying on my bed, in my room even though I don't remember who brought me in, but I remember collapsing in Chase's room. A maid was standing next to me and I haven't noticed her earlier."You're awake?" She said when she sees me attempting to sit up. I nodded at her and give out a weak smile. "How are you feeling now?" She asked again.I told her I'm just having headache and I still feel weak. "Where's Chase?" "Oh Boss?, He's out with Tyrell and he said he'll be home late. Here, take this medicines... The doctor drop them for you before he left" She explained. I nodded and look at the medicine in the side table. The maid helped me take out two pills and hand it over to me which I drank without hesitation.My mind drift back to Chase's words, he had suddenly stopped me from continuing college just when
The initation ceremony already started and that was when Rowan realized he wasn't really the only recruit , they're up to seven more new members who are interested in joining the Mafia world. Rowan hadn't expected to meet so much people, some of this people are ones he had never meet before but they all seem to know him.While, they should. He's the third son of a Sicilian Mafia boss.Rowan sit down at the table. There is wine. Someone put a gun and a knife in front of him. The gun was a 38 and the knife was what they call a dagger. His father, John Gotti, motions them up and they say some words in Italian. Then Gravona pricks his finger with a pin and squeezes until the blood comes out. What then happens, Mr John Gotti says, 'This blood means that we are now one Family. You live by the gun and the knife and you die by the gun and the knife.'"You were baptized when you were a baby, your parents did it. But now, this time, we gonna baptize you." Gravono said after a minute
CALISTA RAYMONDS I opened my eyes and yawned. I feel much better than I was feeling yesterday. Taking my time to stretch my body , I grab my phone and check the time, it's 8:24 in the morning. I would've been running late to school already if I'm going to school, but Chase have said no to me. I walk into the bathroom and brush my teeth before putting on my slippers and walking out of my room, making my way downstairs.Chase is already here and I can't help but just wonder if I can ever beat him in getting up early. He literally just came back this morning and he's already awake? Did he even sleep at all or he just stayed awake all day and all night?. "Good Morning" I greeted him and went to sit down, he didn't say anything as he's just focused on the phone on his hand.I dished out my own meal and started eating while stealing glances at him. He soon dropped his phone on the table and sigh before dishing out his own meal. He's always looking as hot as ever, even when he
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
