All Chapters of Elegantly Wasted: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Edwina My mind is disoriented as screams and cries of people in the club cuts through the air and I am violently ripped apart from Raffaele by one of his men as he barks orders." Take her away from here and take her back to the compound and guard her with your life. If I find that even a hair on her body is harmed I will kill you," yells Raffaele to the man who now holds me my mind focusing on what is happening. "No I am not leaving you, "I yell towards Raffaele struggling against the man's grip trying to reach him but he yells at the man, "Take her away!" The mysterious man who I do not even know pulls me close to him as he weaves us through the crowd of now dead bodies as fear grips my body at the grotesque scene. Blood curdling screams continue to fill the air bullets flying in all directions as Raffaele's man shields my body protecting me from any harm." Matteo we need the car in a matter of three minutes we are headed towards the exit," says the man barking orders through his e

Edwina Immediately those words leave Giovanni's lips my whole body tenses further as I take a seat at the edge of the bed and he remains standing at the door not daring to step into the Capo's room. "Okay, "I tell him my voice trailing off my face giving away my emotions my forehead creasing in worry. Giovanni remains silent his piercing gaze matching mine before he says, "It turns out your sister wants to see you." "What do you mean she wants to see me?"I ask my voice with a slight tremor at the end. "Exactly what I just said Edwina," he grumbles out annoyed at my slowness to absorb the information he is telling me. "And why are you telling me this?"I ask him puzzled wondering why Raffaele has not told me this. "I believe you would want to know considering Raffaele insisted that we are not to mention it to you," he says rather slowly gauging my reaction. Of course, he did that mother fucker. "Well, when does she want to see me?" I ask rather bravely knowing very well that not

Raffaele I reach one of my fancy clubs my men in sight as Alessandro walks beside me his face void of emotion just like mine. The smell of cigarette smoke and alcohol is quite strong in the air as we head over to our VIP section where most of our business deals take place. "Well well well if it isn't Marcello in the flesh, "comes Andrea Esposito's voice as he takes a sip of what I know is vodka from his glass. Unlike his brother Mariano my common enemy, he and I have a common sense of understanding in this world of ours considering he understands the meaning of power and has never questioned mine. I take my seat opposite him as I am handed a cigarette lighting it as I drag it in. "How comes you here and not in Italy?"I ask Andrea quite curious to know the true reason he is here in this state. "If you think I am here to conspire against you with my brother then you are quite wrong. I am here on business," says Andrea his voice not giving any trace of emotion. "Good to know where

Edwina The next morning I woke up with a pounding headache Krys was sound asleep next to me glad she stayed the night with me. "Krys, "I groan trying to shift some of her weight next to me as she murmurs, "Shut up" "Fuck my head hurts, "I murmur out massaging my throbbing temples as Krys slowly drifts off back to sleep. I sigh out my body feeling like it has been hit by a truck as I cover my eyes with my left arm trying to relax for a few minutes. "Krys wake up, "I murmur to my now dead asleep best friend who just snuggles deeper into the sheets. "You cannot be serious," I huff out frustratedly as I get out of bed to go get a glass of water and whatever the hell it is that would down my headache. The penthouse remains rather quiet and lonely with no one in sight as I make it into the kitchen trying not to think of Raffaele. Speaking of the man, I am surprised that he did not storm over here to drag me back to the compound after Krys told him that I was not coming back well at

Edwina Alessandro and I walk toward the manor as I try to steady my breath and calm my panic with every step I take. We get in and this place no longer seems the same the environment is quite chilly not forgetting the broken pieces of glass that litter the floor. "What happened here?"I whisper out puzzled at how much of a mess this place is. "Raffaele happened, "sighs out Alessandro closing his eyes in sadness and frustration. The house is dead silent no one in sight as Alessandro says, "He is in his office princess. Would you like me to accompany you?" I shake my head saying, "No" knowing that I can do it on my own and face the beast who carries my heart in his palms. I release a shaky breath walking to Raffaele's office and upon reaching the door I hear the sound of glass smashing followed by the scrape of a chair moving before it smashes against the door breaking into pieces as I jump in fright. I take a few minutes to calm my racing heart as I push the office door open. Th
