Mafia's Little Pearl
"You're one interesting girl my princess," he said. At the same time, his eyes peered into mine as his hands slipped into my dress tracing my legs up to my upper thigh.
My bare back pressed against the wall feeling the touch of his palm on my skin which sent tingling shivers down my spine and for some reason, I felt a smile creep up on my lips. "And you aren't a Saint either".

Chapter: Hundred: Epilogue Jade's pov. "At this point, I could get a rash from you being all over me, yunno." I groaned and Saint nuzzled into me burying his face in my neck. We were naked under the sheets after we'd gone two rounds that late morning and it didn't look like he was letting me go any moment. I felt his smile beneath me and I couldn't help but smile along. He was a clingy man, surprisingly, something I hadn't noticed before and in as much as I complained, I loved it and wished he'd never stop. "All I'm saying is you going to Betty's house can wait a few days. I want you in my arms today." He mumbled like a child. "You said this last week. And the week before. Even yesterday.""One more day won't hurt, would it? Sweetheart?" He asked and then looked at me smiling. He had cut his hair a bit shorter than it used to be so he didn't go around with his man bun any longer because according to him, he had said he wanted to try new things just like I did and if possible, he would dye his hair also.

Chapter: Ninety nine: The end Jade's pov. Marcel explained to Saint about what had happened and how he had to pretend to work with Matrix in order to kill him. He promised he had never given out any of his information and if at all anything, he had helped save me at the party through Suzy and had called me to warn me the night I thought Suzy died. He said he had come too late and since he was sure that he (Saint) was going to save me, he had saved Suzy. "And the business and route you thrashed?" Saint asked again. I saw he was really trying to understand him because of me and not finish him to the ground. Because the normal Saint would have made Marcel a goner long ago and skipped the whole conversation. I just stood watching the whole thing with my arms together while Saint's men cleared the bodies on the floor. Marcel shook his head. "That wasn't me. That was on Gab. I couldn't put him out to you because we used to be close before you killed him."Saint took a deep breath narrowing his eyes at him. "Gab was

Chapter: Ninety eight: I love you Jade's pov "Starting with him," Matrix said pointing his gun at Marcel. "And later on, her. Why don't we finish what we started years ago huh?" He asked and smirked darkly. "Would it not be nice to die in the same place your family did? At least that's what I considered before coming here."This man was fucking crazy for bringing up Saint's family. I wanted to strangle him slowly. I hated him. "We?" Saint asked leaning forward, calmer than I expected. And from the time when he had acted this calmly after seeing Serena dead, I knew he was plotting something ruthless already. "You started this mess, Mariano. And I'm going to finish it for you. As for him-" He paused and I saw his eyes go to Marcel who stood beside me, watching also. "I wanted him dead already."I stiffened at his words as I saw him raise a gun to Marcel. Matrix smiled at the gesture and I became scared already. He was going to kill Marcel just as he had told CJ he would anytime he found him. He looked at me for a bri

Chapter: Ninety seven: Villa Saint's pov. It was night already as we reached the Villa, I made sure each of my men was positioned in groups at each strategic area. We made sure to surround the house because there was no escaping for him today. No matter how many his men were, we were going to outnumber him. The fight was already looking over before it even started. This whole thing had started from his greed. He was younger than my father but older than me. The Guerra family was known to have the largest cartel in the whole of New York and my father had always done well maintaining it. Mariano's family came close to us but could never really measure, we were always better off, stronger, more power, more money and more connections. Head of the Mariano family used to be loyal to my father before he passed away and barely two years later, Matrix had become greedy for the power, plotted with the Fontana family and some others who were ready to be traitors and had started his little game of wiping off the whole Guer

Chapter: Ninety six: Alcohol Jade's povI lowered my head, pulling my knees to my chest and when the posture seemed painful and impossible because of the hurt, I decided to spread out my legs and lean against the wall. "You've been here since then?" I asked quietly watching her sit up as well. There was silence after my question. I saw her take a deep breath and nod. "Yes." She muttered. "After I texted you that I couldn't meet you, I got taken. You wouldn't know because you didn't bother to text or call me." She accused throwing her face away. I was too hurt and in a lot of pain to start getting angry and trying to pass my point across on why I didn't call her or what I was also going through with Saint. I could have also accused her of not checking up on me as well but I didn't want to, so I let it be. "When did Marcel get taken?" I asked her, switching the topic from being about her. She shook her head, "I can't say exactly. I just saw him randomly after I passed out once from Matrix punching the shit out

Chapter: Ninety five: Matrix 2Jade's pov"You're lying!" I shouted at Matrix. "My mum isn't dead. She's in China right now. You're a fucking liar." The bitterness at the back of my throat increased and my stomach twisted badly making me want to throw up. He laughed. He fucking laughed at me. Then took a sip of his drink and crossed his legs." Is that what old man Greco told you?" He asked, his eyes filled with amusement. "She never made it to the airport, L'amante di Saint. Your mother died in her car. The only thing she succeeded in was keeping you two safe."He said it so casually that I hated him to the core. Here I was hating my mother for abandoning and running off all these years while my uncle abused me, not knowing she was trying to keep is safe and this demon sitting right in front of me ended up killing her after Dad. My eyes pricked with tears as I watched him, my heart beating against my chest like it would explode. In the past more than twelve hours, my heart had felt more pain than it had ever don

Lilith Addiction(A mafia book)
He closed the gap between us and his hand travelled to my waist, pulling me closer to himself. His cologne filled my nostrils and he cupped my face in his hand gently. The look in his eyes whenever he looked at me always seemed like he was watching something so ethereal and now wasn't any different.
I was supposed to hate him, to not be able to stand him. But why was I letting him do this? And why did I like it too? Love it even?
He smirked at me, leaning down with our lips almost touching, his minty breath fanning my face. "I'm fucking addicted and obsessed with you if you haven't noticed." He paused as he studied me while I took a deep breath. "Are you sure you can't stand me?" He asked. "Or are we going to keep on lying to ourselves, babydoll?"

Chapter: Chapter 69~VITTORIA~"I swear to god, I'm killing you the moment I get the chance to." I hissed as the car came to a halt. The sack was still on my head and a rope was tied around my arms. It stopped me from moving around as I pleased and from attacking them. "Who the f*ck are you cowards?!" I asked them. "Too scared to show your faces? Get this sh*t off my head and my happy face is the last thing you see before you die."When they didn't answer, I groaned in frustration, kicking the seat before me. I had been looking for a stress relief for days to get all the stress from me and the Roman issue off me, and they had just come at the perfect time. In fact, I was glad they did. I heard the door open and I was grabbed again. The man threw me over his shoulder just like he had previously done while I struggled to let go, moving around uncomfortably as much as I could, trying to be free. He walked for some time, and then I heard a door open. He walked inside and shut it behind him, bolting it as

Chapter: Chapter 68~VITTORIA ~I laid lazily on the hotel bed that evening, arms stretched out and my face upwards facing the ceiling, staring at the dimly lit crystal chandelier. I couldn't stop thinking about North and Isabelle. And I couldn't help but wonder if Roman had been aware of their relationship all along but had decided to add it to the not-so-short list of things he lied to me about.I sighed, turning around, stuffing my face into the duvet on the bed, feeling my oversized t-shirt roll up to my waist. I screamed into it, letting out my frustration as best as I could while digging my fingers into the duvet.Just then, a knock came on my door.I wasn't expecting anyone and I had told Nicola I didn't want to be disturbed for like the next four hours since I needed rest. I certainly hoped it wasn't going to be Roman either because I was definitely not in the right head space to entertain him at the moment. Not with the whole North Discovery.The knock repeated. This time harder and more impatie

Chapter: Chapter 67~VITTORIA ~I tugged at my black dress over my hips, smoothing down the fabric as I stared at my own reflection in the mirror. My hair was slicked back in a bun and I added a fascinator with a little veil net to elevate the outfit. My mind never stopped thinking about him. And by him, I meant Roman. After he had left my office, he sent me another apology gift for two days straight. Of course, he had found out the hotel I was staying in. I was sure it hadn't been a big deal for him since I was in the state now and not in Ontario any longer. Although I was tempted to run away yet again from time to time. I had gotten the text about the news of his mother and his mother's funeral. He had asked me to come to it, since it would mean a lot to him if I did. So here I was, already dressed and ready to go. I wondered if he was okay, how he was feeling, if his mother's death was taking a huge toll on him. But I couldn't come to a conclusion since from the little he had told me, he didn't qu

Chapter: Chapter 66~ ROMAN ~I had her beautiful face that I missed as h*ll burned into my brain like a scar I couldn’t stop touching.Vittoria.The way she had looked at me when I walked into her office still sat with me. It was not her being angry at me that killed me. It was the absence of love and distrust she had for me. Being cold, numb, detached.I did not want to believe I had lost her already. But I knew I had broken her. And that I was an assh*Le for itAnd whatever she was doing to me now, that… I deserved.“You’re zoning out again, Rio.”Diego’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts. He was seated across from me in the dimly lit meeting room in the nightclub, leaning back lazily in his chair with a half-eaten croissant forgotten on the plate in front of him and a new cup of coffee he had just gotten.“To be fair,” Cleto muttered from beside him, his arms crossed as he stuffed his face, “He has a lot to zone out about. It'll feel so shitty if I were in his position also."I glared at Cleto. “I’

Chapter: Chapter 65~VITTORIA ~"I'm not sure Ma'am would appreciate you going in there." I heard Nicola say from outside. "I'm not in the mood today for this bullshit, Grump." A male voice replied making my heart skip a beat. Of course, I recognised that voice wherever, how could I not? I found myself clenching my jaw and bringing out my gun from my drawer. The hotness flowing throughout every part of my body turned into a fresh feeling of anger. Not hurt, not sadness but anger now. How dare he come here after everything he did? How dare he show his face here? He had some d*mn nerve as usual. The door opened wide and Roman came in alone, shutting the door before Nicola could come in. His eyes rested on me and I saw a sign of relief rush through his eyes for a short second. He took a step towards me and I took up my gun. "One more step forward and I'm pulling this trigger," I told him, hearing the coldness in my own voice as I spoke to him. But at the same time being unapologetic about it. He stopp

Chapter: Chapter 64~VITTORIA~I was in Ontario again. In a hotel room, a box of tissues is almost finished, lipstick, mascara and wine stains all over the white rumpled bedsheets. The room was barely lit because I had had the blinds down ever since I got here blocking off any light from creeping into the room. And at night, I usually just sat in the dark when I cried, and when I was not crying, I was sleeping. This was my third day here and the only person who knew I was here was Yara. That was before I turned my phone off and ghosted everyone.Me running away from everything and just coming to bask in my own sorrow and darkness was the only way I saw I could get through this, at least for a while, before going to work. And I hated that the Costa Nostra rule of business couldn't just let me divorce him right away. Because I mean, we had married out of business, in front of everyone. Everyone knew it wasn't a marriage whose foundation was based on love. So what face did I have in the presence of Tiziano

Chapter: Twenty three AVENAI dashed into the sand immediately. I just had to dodge her and be as fast as I could. As long as I was fast on my feet, I’d have the advantage and me being smaller in weight than her seemed to give me another advantage. The sand was heavy on my legs than I expected but I tried to keep my feet light and make me way through it as fast as possible. My heart pounded in my chest and Sage didn’t seem to be disturbed surprisingly or want to be let out how she did some times when I trained alone. This made me worry less as I didn’t have to think about her randomly spouting out and ending the game for me even before it started. Instead it gave me a little space in my brain to notice the dry dusty air that was settling in my throat busily. As I ran and gazed forward, the only thing in my central vision being the rolled up scroll, I knew I had to get it and most especially, get it fast. I was almost there, arms stretched out forward and my fingertips almost halfway on the scroll that I

Chapter: Twenty two AVENAAfter the announcement, a random lot was drawn to determine which two teams would compete against whom and as if fate really wanted to see both Isaac and Marco fight, the two packs were competing against each other. I saw a devious smirk spread on Isaac’s lips and felt a little prick of uneasiness embarrass me. I only hoped he wasn’t up to anything mischievous.We stood in a straight line to determine our order to play. Strength and gender were irrelevant now because it didn’t matter whether or not the person you were up against was male or female or stronger or weaker. You just had to fight them. Some said it was cruel, to me, I didn't really mind.My eyes went to my partner and it was a girl from another class. She was a head taller than I was and a little more muscular. She had her brown hair pulled back in a bun and her arms folded, scanning the area and assembling students. She seemed to have noticed me staring at her and then turned to meet my gaze. Her dark eyebrows shot

Chapter: Twenty one AVENAOn the way out, Marco and I had a little chit-chat. It was just him asking me about my life the past few years, how the other pack had been and if I remembered my memory. It was nice that I was talking to him and he was just as fun as the little I could remember from back then.We turned around the corner and then reached the large grassy field, which was just beside the schoolyard, away from the parking lot, to see that a huge deep box had been positioned at one end of it, filled with sand. The box looked a bit spacious like it could contain at least fifteen people in it. And I wondered why it was here. I guessed everyone was thinking the same thing because they started to murmur amongst themselves. “Why is there so much sand in there?” I said and Sera mumbled something. Just then, I noticed Isaac’s presence and spun around. I locked eyes with him immediately and his eyes were glaring directly at me. I could also feel the annoyance and slight jealousy through our bond. And I

Chapter: Twenty AVENAThe girls filled me in how they usually had pack group games each session during the beginning of the session. Two days were dedicated to each grade and they usually started with the higher grades - us.The games were crafted based on the standards and difficulties of that particular grade and helped evaluate different sections of each pack, such as skills, agility, intelligence, etc.By the end of the games, each scores were added to the pack project that was usually done later on in the semester. It was... all interesting to me per say. We never had this at my old school so it piqued my interest immediately.I was also curious to know if my shifting was still running wild and unable to control and if, perchance, finding my mate had affected it in a positive light. Or if at all, I was a bit close to even figuring out my unique abilities. "I'm pretty sure the Silvermoon and Mystic pack are going to go neck and neck this year, again, especially if there are combat games include

Chapter: Nineteen ISAAC“It’s not worth three weeks suspension, Isaac Langston.” Principal Taurus said. She had her hands folded, leaning back into her seat and pouring her unwavering gaze at me through her glasses. She was stern in everything she did, that I knew. And her rigid personality showcased itself in everything in her life. From how she dressed up to how she ran the school and in the little way of how she arranged her desk, always ensuring that her desk name plate bore, ‘PRINCIPAL TAURUS’ boldly written in the fine print was sat at the edge of the finely polished desk, in the exact same line and place. Her office space itself was the same as her, a dark shade of depressing blue and a historian wall clock, over her mini library that couldn't wait to announce what hour it was at the moment with a tic-tok sound. Her only flaw had to be that her sternness and principled nature had not rubbed off on her daughter because everyone in school and the UPC if I was not mistaken, was aware that her dau

Chapter: Eighteen AVENA "I mean f*ck her. She's lame, to be honest." Clay grumbled as he poured out some cereal into his plate the next morning. "You need to beat her a*s someday." "Watch your words, cuss lord." Nell scolded from beside him, her voice harbouring a sharpness in it. She gave him a look and took the cereal box from his grasp. Asher gave a low chuckle from his seat in front of me before dragging his steaming cup of coffee to his mouth and taking a sip. "What?! She's eighteen now. She knows these things." Clay retorted, his voice raising in defence and gaining an eye roll from Nell. He shook his head sighing, before going to the fridge to get a new milk carton for his cereal. I was seated by the table for breakfast, dressed in a fitted yellow pastel-coloured flowery patterned top and some loose baby blue jeans with casual sneakers. My hair was in a slick back ponytail which I had had Nell and Aunt Mona design with baby blue hair pins. My cherry-flavoured lip gloss was laid beside
