OLIVER “The impact of your presence is what we ask for...” The words of the man trailed off as my mind wandered towards Ellen. She was a mystery that was getting more complicated. I had agreed to get information out of her by making her trust me enough to spill, but sex with her was not part of my plan and what marveled me most was that it happened twice. The first time was a drunken mistake and because I did not know how to face her the next day, I ran away to my hotel and stayed there, thinking of ways to put it behind me. I saw her calls and I could not man up enough to answer it and so I ignored it. After three days, I knew I could not stop running from my wife. It was a mistake and I hope she understood. She had been kind and understanding and before her, I never spoke to anyone about my predicaments, but when she was around me, I say more in five minutes than I have said in weeks. She affects me like that and I always regret it. I have opened up to he

FIFTY

ELLEN Things were a bit awkward for Oliver and me for the next two days. He did not allow me to stay in his room again and avoided me. I did not want to be near him too until the dinner party he was going to with me came up. Tony asked that I follow him to the dinner party and lead him exactly where he wanted. I did not know what to do. I was no murderer and could not let the man I had sex with a few days ago die like that. But I had Sophie to think about and I would do anything to save her. Oliver sent me a maxi, black, lacy gown that had a slit running up to my thigh. It was sleeveless and made me uncomfortable, but I had to dress for the occasion. I was here for a mission and I had to accomplish it. I did not wear much makeup. Since Tony told me that Pablo Moreno knew my makeup face, I had never taken chances. I do not wear makeup. I left Sophie at Lily's place with two of his men watching over her apartment. Lily did not entirely welcome the idea, but she did it for protection's

FIFTY-ONE

OLIVER Ellen remained the center of attraction in the hall. We had nothing to talk about and the topic she tried to bring up was one I would not like to discuss because it would lead to an opening up on what I actually do. I knew she would get inquisitive when she sees all these powerful men. We were supposed to have a conference dinner. Although it was mostly for business, but I feared these men would mention mafia sentiments and bicker about it. A text came to Dante, asking for my attention to discuss something privately. I hated it, but I knew I had to leave Ellen for a while. I was not particularly comfortable with the way that bastard Anthony Romano was looking at her. He stared like he wanted to devour her, and he was not hiding it. I will rip his tongue out from his mouth if he comes anywhere near her. I had to find an excuse to leave Ellen alone. Meanwhile, I did not let her stand there alone; I led her to the bar to sit while I was gone. I was not completel

FIFTY-TWO

ELLEN Oliver had my heart beating and my head swirling with everything he did tonight. From the way he stared at me to the way he held me with dominance. I could not stop my heart from beating and feeling guilty about what would take place tonight. I still see other men look at me and I wondered just how good I looked in my dress. Oliver and I did not speak for a while after I asked him what he really did. I had to play the role of an inquisitive wife, too. People were enjoying themselves, looking cheerful and free. I saw Tony’s eyes on me. He was staring at us, unblinking, and not caring if he was seen or not. This guy was a psycho. Why does he keep staring at me? I was uncomfortable with his eyes on me. Oliver must have mistaken it for nervousness because he tried to boost my ego. I could not tell if he spoke for the show or if he was real. He sounded so genuine. I tried to focus on the rules we signed in the contract. I will not be the one to fall and break

FIFTY-THREE

OLIVER I did not see it coming. I was so focused on her—my enchantress and did not see the bastard no paid attention to it. I only realized what happened when Ellen’s legs wobbled, and I caught her immediately while she hugged me tightly. Tears pooled up in her eyes as she stared at me. I gently removed my hand from her side and my palm was stained with blood. “I am sorry,” she muttered. I was confused. I looked at the receding motorcycle and could not make out who it was or the plate number. I quickly lifted Ellen in my arms and almost ran back to the parking lot. I spoke to Dante and the others through my device. My voice was unsteady, and I could barely make out words. I charged my driver to take me to any nearby hospital. Ellen was losing a lot of blood and she was growing pale every minute. I contacted men to follow that rider up immediately, even though I doubt they will catch up with him. This was the second time Ellen was attacked— no, she took this

FIFTY-FOUR

ELLEN My body ached with pain. I opened my eyes and saw the hospital light. The memories of what happened flashed in my eyes. Oliver. Sophie. I tried to stand up but my side hurt so badly and I groaned. "Well, it's good that you are awake," a voice said. I looked by my side and saw Pablo Moreno sitting on a chair smiling at me. He held a magazine in his hand. A pit grew in my stomach. What was he doing here? Where is Oliver? Where is Lily? Where is everyone? Why am I waking up to see Pablo by my bedside? "What are you doing here?" I couldn't help but ask. He smiled and dropped the magazine. My heart thumped in my chest. This man could kill me here and no one would know about it. "How do you feel now?" he asked. "I do not feel good seeing you here." "You should not. Why did you take the blow for him?" I stared at him for a while. "It is none of your business. Please, do not interrogate me." "I know who you are, Elena Walte

FIFTY-FIVE

ELLEN My whole life crumbled in front of me. I know that if I wanted to remain safe and alive, then I should listen to what Pablo said to me. I laid back in that hospital bed and knew there was no other choice for me. Oliver and I were not a thing and was this not what I wanted? Did I not want to leave here and start a better life outside all of this? But how will I even trust Don Pablo with my life and that of my daughter? I should have known better than to get attached to him. I knew we were different people from two different backgrounds and that we lead two different lives. Now, everything was hitting on me and I was confused. I needed to speak to Lily. Where the hell were they all? Just like a cue, Lily opened the door and walked in. She gasped in shock when she saw me awake. "Oh, my God, Ellen, you are awake!" she came to me and hugged me and I broke down in tears. She pulled away in surprise and stared at me with a mixture of disbelief and confusion. I wept

FIFTY_SIX

ELLEN The door to the room opened and Oliver came in with Sophie tugging at his arm. "Momma!" she squealed and ran toward me. I spread my arms and welcomed her into my embrace. She pressed a little tight and it made my side hurt. I groaned and Oliver pulled her away. "You have to let go of mommy now if you do not want to hurt her," he said. I mouthed him a thank you and turned to Lily who sat on the couch in the room watching us as we spoke. My heart was thumping badly and I wondered how I will even get out of Oliver's sight without his notice. Our eyes met and locked for a while before he cleared his throat. I knew he has a tornado of words to say to me. Lily understood the tension between us. She stood to her feet. "Who wants some ice cream?" "I want some!" Sophie said. Lily beckoned to her to come. "Let's go and get some ice cream." "But I want to stay with mommy," Sophie whined. "Mommy is tired now and needs you to get her some

FIFTY-SEVEN

ELLEN I did not sleep that night. I kept watching Oliver while he slept. I cried at times but never let myself sniffle. Oliver had taken me into his room and had done everything for me. He helped tuck Sophie into bed, helped me to the bathroom, and helped me to bed. He was a good man when he was close and all that sentiments and resentment I bore for him before seemed like they have never been there. I fell asleep in the early hours of the morning and did not wake until later in the day, although I was half awake when Oliver woke. I knew when he went into the shower, and I knew when he got the call to go over to San Francisco, for a meeting. I heard him cuss about it, but he still packed his bags because it sounded urgent and I heard him calling Dante and the rest to inform them about the meeting. I have forgotten that I will miss them too. I fell into another sleep and he went away. When I woke up, it was mid-morning. I took my shower and read the note Oliver

FIFTY-EIGHT

One year later... OLIVER I stood by the grave of my father. My eyes were hidden behind my dark shades. He had not been the best father to me, and I have wished him dead on several occasions. But now that he was actually gone, I realized I was not ready to lose him. I felt alone in this world and the whole Don thing is going to crash on me now. The voice of the priest sounded distant in my head as my eyes locked on a woman with blonde hair. She looked so familiar, and her back was to me because she was hugging a man. Ellen. I started to move but Dante held me back. “Where are you going?” he whispered. I did not reply. I stayed back, stuck my eyes on the woman, and waited for the priest’s speech to be over so that I can leave there and confront that woman. But she turned to face me, and I sighed in disappointment. She was not Ellen. How could they have the same structure? It has been a year since Ellen disappeared from me. I searched every
