"Be careful who you call friends. I would rather have four quarters than 100 pennies." - AL CAPONEJORDAN POVTwo hours. That’s how long it took for Francois to finally emerge from the white closed doors with a stern look on his face. “Is she alright? What happened to her?” I was out of my seat and in front of him, clutching the lapels of his coat and waiting for a response. If he didn't give me the answer I wanted, I was going to beat the shit out of him. I couldn’t wait any longer. I needed to know, because not knowing was fucking killing me. Right now I was left with even more questions than I had before reviewing the security footage.From everything I gathered, there was no one aside from Mel who was up and about during that time. And as though things couldn't be more confusing, the camera facing the stairs was out of service. And no one even bothered to report it to the butler.The whole thing didn't seem to be so simple, and it made me feel even more enraged than I have ever

"Maybe I can't stop the downpour, but I will always be by your side in the rain." - UNKNOWNMELODY POVResentment and agitation warred in my mind as I approached the vast structure laying before me. One foot in front of the other, I pushed my knees higher kicking the hew with my feet as I forced my beaten-up body to race to the house. My heart thumped with vigor, my muscles screamed for mercy, and my sore body cried out from the torture. But I was far from stopping. I couldn’t stop because my mind would not fuckin’ allow it. I cast a small gaze to the sky where the sun painted a lovely gray shade across the oblivion, dancing behind the horizon with the full promise of the new day.Thoughts bombard my mind, urging my muscles to push harder. I panted violently, as the house grew closer and closer until I was running on the paved pathway that led to the back entrance. I pushed the door and busted inside. Sweat dripped from my back, and my breathing grew even more ragged. I glanced at my

"I know what I bring to the table. So trust me when I say I'm not afraid of eating alone." - UNKNOWNMELODY POVHow can I be this stupid?How can I possibly think I still stood a chance in all of this twisted game of hearts and emotions? A larger part of me knew that things were going to come to this point, and all along, with everything evidently falling apart, my only trump card was the baby I was carrying. The idea of giving birth to my little mafia was the only thing that gave me hope, the only solid thing that made me believe that we were fucking forever. The vows?Those didn't matter. Empty promises always wore out at the end and I should have fuckin' known. How could I stupidly think that I could have something close to what my parents have?So fuckin' stupid!God, why was this happening to me?"Mel just..." Jordan's hurried footfalls followed me hauntingly, and I picked my pace. A shower of tears blanketed my sight, and I bit my bottom lip to stifle a loud sob that threatened

"A friend should always underestimate your virtues, and an enemy overestimates your faults"- Mario PuzoChapter 88DANTE POVI was going to the seventh hell. Not the first one or the second one, but the innermost, hottest level of hell because I deserved it... All my life, I have been committing millions of sins, but none greater than this one.And on Sunday nonetheless.One, I have been lusting for Melody for as long as I could remember. Even the word lust was not on the threshold of explaining what I felt for her for all these years. I burned for her. In ways that nobody could ever comprehend. From the moment she burst into my life without much of a warning like the firecracker she is, saving me from the worst kind of hell... I have always known I would give my life for hers. And watching her love other men while I was just here... All this time waiting for her to just...Look at me. Even if it's just for a little while.But that was nothing.It was nothing compared to what I was c

“Real G’s don't make a lot of noise; they just take care of business.” ~ UNKNOWNCHAPTER 90MELODY POV“I know you are awake.” A deep voice sounded not far from where I lay sprawled on the bed not far from the round meeting table in the private cubicle of the jet. I blinked twice, my body rigid on the bed and unmoving. The rustling sound followed before the bed dipped under the heavyweight, and I swallowed down the rising emotions before locking out everything that threatened to choke me. “Mel?” Dante intoned in a much gentler tone while placing a giant hand on my hip and giving my body a small shake. “What?” I snapped getting up into a sitting position before slapping his hand off me and then glaring daggers at him. It was in the dead of the night, and we were snoring above the clouds with the moon casting warm glows through the purple shades. As dark as it was, I could still make out the wolf tattoo that stretched on his chest right from his sternum down to his bottom ribs. It w
