Die schwangere Braut der Mafia
„Es wäre kein sofortiger Tod, von dort, wo Sie stehen."
Ich blinzle und drehe mich um. „Was?"
Aber er gibt mir keine Antwort. Zumindest noch nicht. Stattdessen ergreift er mit seinen großen, behandschuhten Händen meine Arme und zieht mich zu sich, sodass wir Zehe an Zehe stehen.
„Was tun Sie da?", flüstere ich. Diese neue Position hat uns näher zusammengebracht. So nah, dass ich, wenn ich mich auf die Zehenspitzen stelle und er seinen Kopf ein wenig senkt, wahrscheinlich den besten Kuss meines Lebens hätte …
„Wenn Sie von hier fallen, liegt die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass Sie sofort sterben, bei mindestens 98 %", beginnt er, während ich ihn mit leicht offenem Mund anstarre. „Von der Stelle, an der Sie vorher standen, zu fallen, ist etwa 35 % geringer. Sie würden letztlich sterben, vielleicht nach ein oder zwei Nächten des Versuchs, Ihre zerschmetterten Knochen wiederzubeleben, aber nicht sofort." Nachdem er seinen Punkt gemacht hat, tritt er von mir zurück und steigt von der leicht erhöhten Plattform herunter.
„Haben Sie mir gerade den Weg freigemacht, mich umzubringen?", murmle ich und habe das Gefühl, wieder einmal den Verstand zu verlieren. Was für ein Mann ist das nur?

Sonias Leben läuft eine Minute lang bestens, und dann nimmt es eine Wendung zum Schlechteren, als sie verraten wird, schwanger wird und, schlimmer noch, erfährt, dass sie den Erben der italienischen Mafia, Anthony Romano, heiraten soll, der nichts dagegen hat, das Kind eines anderen Mannes großzuziehen. Sie verabscheut die Vorstellung, aber da sie kürzlich auch von ihrem Vater verstoßen wurde, bleibt ihr keine andere Wahl, als den Heiratsantrag anzunehmen, wenn sie Schutz für sich und ihr Kind will.
Doch sie hat Fragen. Warum sollte ein vernünftiger Mann aus ihrer Welt ein Kind großziehen wollen, das nicht sein eigenes ist? Es müssen Hintergedanken im Spiel sein.

Chapter: KAPITEL 084: CELINEWir gehen zu dem Akkordeonspieler hinüber, und Anthony sagt etwas auf Italienisch, bevor er in seine Gesäßtasche greift und ein dickes Bündel Geldscheine hervorholt. Der glückliche Mann nimmt es dankbar mit einem Lächeln entgegen und winkt uns hinterher, während wir unseren Spaziergang fortsetzen.Anthony führt mich an der Gruppe von Touristen vorbei, die völlig in ihrer eigenen Welt verloren zu sein scheinen, dann an dem kleinen Restaurant vorbei, in dem wir gegessen haben, und schließlich um das Gebäude herum. Bald stehen wir vor einem weiteren Geländer, genau wie dem, an dem wir zuvor gestanden haben. Der einzige Unterschied ist, dass sich hier deutlich weniger Menschen aufhalten.Außerdem gibt es hier eine riesige – nein, ich glaube, "riesig" ist nicht das richtige Wort für das, was vor uns liegt. Vor uns auf dem Wasser schwimmt eine unfassbar gewaltige, weiße und atemberaubend schöne Yacht.Ich werfe ihr einen zweiten Blick zu und bewundere, wie wunderschön sie ist, bevor ich mei

Chapter: KAPITEL 083: KOMM MIT MIRNachdem wir die Rechnung bezahlt und den netten Großmüttern ein ziemlich großzügiges Trinkgeld gegeben haben, verlassen wir das gemütliche Restaurant und lassen das italienische Flair hinter uns.Die Nacht ist kühl, aber nicht kalt. Es ist genau die Art von Wetter, bei der man langsam spazieren gehen und dabei die Hand eines anderen halten möchte. Also tue ich genau das. Ich lasse Anthony mir seine Jacke über die Schultern legen, während er mich über den Bordstein und bis an den Rand des Gehwegs führt, wo sich andere Touristen aufgereiht haben, um Fotos von der riesigen Wasserfläche vor uns zu machen.Aus dieser Entfernung sieht alles wunderschön aus. Sogar die Freiheitsstatue, auch wenn sie aufgrund der Entfernung ziemlich klein wirkt. Ich beobachte, wie ihre Fackel im Mondlicht schimmert.Doch das ist nicht alles, was mir auffällt. Es mag ein wenig zusammenhanglos sein, aber unsere Position erinnert mich ein bisschen an unser zweites Treffen auf dem Dach seines Hotels zu Hause.Ich

Irgendwo, das einfach hundertprozentig zu Anthony passte.Womit ich nicht gerechnet hatte, war, dass Anthony mich an einen Ort bringen würde, mit dem ich überhaupt nicht gerechnet hatte.Im Moment sind wir Tausende von Kilometern von zu Hause und den Gewürzen und dem Kochwein entfernt, die ich gestern im Supermarkt gekauft habe. Wir tragen Turnschuhe – na ja, zumindest ich – und sitzen auf einer kleinen Fähre. Der Wind peitscht uns ins Gesicht, während Anthony neben mir grinst, als wäre das hier das erste Mal, dass er so etwas macht."Du hast mich nach … Staten Island gebracht?", rufe ich gegen den Wind an."Technisch gesehen sind wir noch mitten auf dem Fluss. Aber ja!", ruft er zurück.Ich kneife die Augen zusammen und kichere. "Das ist also deine Vorstellung von einem ersten Date?""Du kannst mir nicht erzählen, dass du das nicht gut findest. Ich dac

Sie beginnt. "Einen regionalen Gipfel. Da werden einige wichtige Leute anwesend sein. Ich dachte, vielleicht könntest du ... ich weiß nicht, meinen Namen ins Spiel bringen?

Das kriege ich allein hin.Glaube ich.Ich bin fast beim Weinregal, als ich sie wieder entdecke, diesmal näher.Charlene steht jetzt bei den Milchprodukten und sieht viel zu aufgebrezelt aus für einen Einkauf.

Chapter: EPILOGUE: LUCIA The next few weeks pass by in a blur of events. First, Ivan never told me what exactly he did to Alfred but i heard rumors amongst his men, Naya, Aliyah and even Lev that Alfred's death was brutal and one that would not easily be forgotten. I know he killed Alfred and I should be relieved that there would be no more trouble from him anymore, but be it a facade or not, I really held Alfred to high esteem when we were together. Seeing what became of him still makes me wonder what the hell happened to him and why he changed courses. Was he always that crazy but I was just too blind to notice? I guess I'll never know. I'm just super glad that peace reigns again. “What's on your mind?” Ivan's smooth voice speaks into my ear. His arms enclose me on either side as he stands behind me on the balcony overlooking the beach of the private island he apparently owns in Maldives.“Everything that's happened since we got married. It's been a hell of a ride.”“It's all over now, my love.” He kisses

I mean, since I can't just go about hitting people or firing them, that's the safest option anyway.But today? Today is definitely one of those days, and boy, am I glad I have a punching bag this time around. Alfred has been locked up for the past week in the torture room at Dmitry Enterprise.“No food?” I say to one of my men standing guard at the back entrance when I walk into the building the next day. I had planned to over stretch Alfred's torture. I wanted to take a piece of him every day until he took his last breath. Maybe then, in his next life, he wouldn't be such a nuisance to society. But no matter how satisfying it would have made me, I just want to get it over and done with so I and Lucia can successfully move on from this stage. The quicker the better.“As instructed, Pakhan.” He gives a curt nod and steps aside to let me in. Walking deeper into the basement,

Next, I become overly aware of the soreness and dryness in my throat.I gently flex my fingers, noticing one hand tightly clenched. With effort, I open one eye, then the other. Despite the dimness of the room, the unmistakable scent of a hospital fills my nostrils. Gradually, I turn my head to the left and find my sweet Ivan clutching my hand in his as he sleeps.My eyelids drop heavily as sleep threatens to swallow me whole again. Knowing that Ivan is with me, I hold on to his hand as well and let sleep take me for the second time.When I wake up again, the day is bright, and I don't see Ivan by my side anymore. My hand unconsciously goes to my belly as I rub it, but something immediately feels off. like it's empty and void of a living being. Just as I begin to panic, the door slides open, and Ivan walks in, holding a cup of coffee in one hand as he sli

But they won't let me get past the door they just wheeled her through.“You're going to have to wait here, Mr. Dmitry. Please.” A female nurse in scrubs blocks my path, and I swear to God, it takes a lot of self-control to not push her out of my way and go after my wife. “Let us do our thing. Your wife is in the best of hands.” Her voice has grown calmer when she sees the despair in my eyes.“She's pregnant. Do all you can to save them both, please.” I never thought I would say please to a stranger. That's what Lucia does to me.Understanding dawns in her eyes. “We'll come get you as soon as we can.” She says to me before walking through the door and shutting it after her.Having no other choice but to wait, I settle down on the chair in the waiting room while the doctors see that my wife makes it out alive.

But everything comes flooding into my head.As soon as Ivan drove off, I was worried. I couldn't stop pacing our bedroom. Then I went to sit at the window overlooking the compound gate, hoping he would drive back in immediately, saying everything had been settled. But I knew I was only being delusional.Or was I? Because tell me why five minutes after Ivan had driven out, I got a text from a number saying ‘Lucia honey, It's Ivan. come outside for me.

There's too much of it that I begin to worry and get suspicious, especially with the whirlwind of negative emotions Lucia had to go through because of Anna. All I had to do to get rid of Anna was threaten her with her finances. We both knew there was more I could have done, like actually banning her from my city or killing her. But I have always been a stickler against hurting women and children. Since I couldn't harm her physically, I automatically transferred the blow to Rodrick, who was stupidly her informer. I always wondered how she knew of my whereabouts sometimes and was surprised when she gave him out. So much for loyalty these days.But despite the worry, Lucia reminds me to enjoy the serenity. Of course, I appease her by not looking or acting worried in her presence but behind doors, with the help of Gertrude, we've been looking into the reason for my worrying; Alfred's absence.It's been three months since the entire Alfr

“It won’t be a straight death from where you’re standing.”
I blink, turning around. “What?”
But he doesn’t give me a reply. At least not yet. Instead, he takes hold of my arms in his large, gloved hands, and pulls me to him so that we are standing toe to toe.
“What are you doing?” I whisper. This new position has brought us closer. So close that if I stand on my toes, and he dips his head down a bit, I’d probably have the best kiss…
“If you fall from here, the possibility of you dying immediately is 98% at the very least,” He begins as I stare at him with my mouth slightly agape. “Falling from where you stood before is about 35% lesser. You’d die eventually, maybe after a night or two of trying to revive your shattered bones, but not immediately.” Having made his point, he steps back from me and climbs down the somewhat elevated platform.
“Did you just make way for me to kill myself?” I murmur, feeling like I’m losing my mind all over again. What kind of a man is this?

Sonia’s life is going great one minute and then takes a spin for the worse when she is betrayed, gets pregnant and worse, is told that she will be getting married to Italian mafia heir, Anthony Romero, who doesn’t mind raising another man’s child. She abhors the idea, but having also recently been disowned by her father, she has no choice but to accept the marriage proposal if she wants protection for herself and her child.
But she has questions. Why would a sane man from her world want to raise a child that isn’t his? Surely they’re ulterior motives in play.

Chapter: CHAPTER 084: CELINEWe walk to the accordion player and Anthony says something in Italian before dipping his hand into his back pocket and coming out with a wad of cash. The happy man accepts it thankfully with a smile and waves at us as we continue our walk.Anthony leads me past the troop of tourist that seem to be lost in their own world, past the mini restaurant we’d eaten at, and then around the building, until we’re standing in front of another railing just like the one we’d walked out from. The only difference is this part is filled with a lot less people than the other.There’s also a really big—no, I don’t think ‘big’ is the appropriate word to call what’s in front of us. There’s an insanely huge, white, and spectacular looking Yacht floating on the water in front of us.I give it a second glance, admiring how pretty she is before shifting my gaze to Anthony who’s surprisingly looking at me with a smile. I frown at him, wondering what he’s smiling about when I observe the kind of smile he has on

It’s the kind of weather that makes you want to walk slowly and hold hands with someone, so I do just that. I let Anthony drape his jacket over my shoulders as he leads me across the curb and to the edge of the pavement, where other tourists are lined up and taking pictures of the large body of water beyond.Everything looks beautiful from this distance, even the Statue of Liberty, albeit small because of the distance. I watch her torch gleam under the moonlight.But that’s not all I notice.

I stare into the darkness of the room, safe for the moonlight peeking through the opened curtains, doing absolutely nothing yet everything. The smell of my half used blunt lays on the ashtray, beckoning on me to have another puff but I refrain. I guess I can say that this is my own way of relaxing whenever I feel tired. A way of clearing my head from all thoughts of anything cartel related, work related, and to an extent, a certain blue eyed princess I haven't laid eyes on for the past two weeks. I've been away on a business trip which will likely occur quite frequently in the coming months.

Some part of me only wishes I could have been the one to somehow put an end to his life. The thought gives me an odd satisfaction which just makes me wonder the amount of mental fuckery being here has brought upon me. I hear approaching footsteps down the hall as Javier leaves his room. When he comes into view, he stops at the door and looks at me in surprise. This seems to be becoming a daily occurrence. He's dressed impeccably as usual, quality navy coloured coat atop his three piece armani suit fitting his tall and muscled form effortlessly. “Good morning, sir.” “Morning, Elsa.” He walks past me to grab the fruit bowl I brought upstairs for him and I turn and watch as he stabs a piece of watermelon and

Chapter: CHAPTER 19: JAVIER I don't know how, but I feel the instant Elsa's presence dissipates. It's been happening more times than I would like to admit. Before I found her waiting for me in my sitting room, I sensed her presence right from the corridor. I usually know the feeling of when intruders are present. But unlike the cold sensation, which would creep down my spine, this one felt warm, and I just knew she was near, waiting for me. And that feeling followed me right after I left that room and got here. Up until now, that is. She left, probably because she caught sight of her stepfather and can't stomach what comes next. The man in question is knocked out, courtesy of Carlos, since he wouldn't stop shouting out his lungs. Another man lays on the floor, well out of view of the window Elsa was looking from. Unlike Richard, who is unconscious, this one is fully awake. Bloodied and missing a few limbs? yes, but awake nonetheless. He watches as I take closer steps into the room, life almost snuffed out

In what way has things changed? Did he mean by killing my family or between us? My mind and soul tell me it is the latter, and some twisted part of me gets excited upon the revelation.But then another thought occurs to me.
