A Second Chance CHAPTER 14
Her brain freezes, feeling Thomas’ lips against hers. Her back arches as his hands roam her body. Melina couldn’t believe what was happening. She thought she would never be with Thomas again. She closes her eyes, kisses him back, and allows him to devour her mouth. Melina has missed the taste of Thomas’s lips against hers. Thomas pinches her waist, causing her to open her mouth. His tongue enters her mouth, and the taste of him completely blinds her senses. With his hands around her waist, he pulls her into him. The warmth from his body spreads into her, and the taste of him fills her senses.He moves his lips away from her mouth and takes her right breast into his mouth. Her eyes roll to the back of her head as Thomas sucks hard on her nipple, pulling it between his teeth. Taking his time, Thomas gives each breast the same attention.A gasp escapes her lips as Thomas enters her. Thomas starts thrusting slowly to allow Melina adjust to him. Once he’s sure Melina is comfortable with hi
A Second Chance CHAPTER 15
Melina tells Mrs. Costanzo everything. She doesn’t withhold any information about why she betrayed Thomas. Melina hopes she believes her as it will be nice to have someone who does. It’s been a minute since she finished explaining herself while sitting on Mrs. Costanzo’s couch in her living room. “I believe you, dear,” Kat says, and Melina’s eyes light up. She couldn’t believe Kat does believe her. Melina never imagined that someone would believe she had no choice but to betray Thomas. Kat has no idea how much it means to Melina that she believes her. That’s the only good thing that has happened since she arrived. “Thank you so much for believing me.” Melina pulls her in for a hug. “You don’t have to thank me. What you said was actually believable.” “Really?” Melina asks as she pulls away. “A little, and I know you’re telling the truth because I can feel it in my heart and see it in your eyes,” says Kat. “Do you think Thomas would ever believe me when I tell him?” “I can’t say
A Second Chance CHAPTER 16
Walking out of the kitchen, Melina hears someone giggling and whispering or trying to. She recognizes the voice as Serena’s and can hear her speaking to someone. The other voice sounds male and familiar, but she can’t place it. “Stop it; someone might see us,” Serena says. Melina detects playfulness in her voice. Is Serena flirting with someone? Melina had no idea she was interested in anyone in the house. “I don’t care if they see us. I don’t mind if the whole world knows we are together,” the male voice says. Melina hides to avoid interfering with their sweet moment. The scene before her is so lovely. Leo is looking down at Serena, who is fiddling with her fingers. Leo looks fascinated by Serena, and even though Melina can’t see Serena’s eyes, the blush on her face tells her she likes him too. They look so cute together. “You should go back; Sotto capo might start wondering where you are,” Serena says. She puts her little hand on his chest and tries to push him away from her.
A Second Chance CHAPTER 17
Thomas steps out of the car once they arrive at the office. He walks inside and nods to anyone who greets him. He considers passing by his younger sister’s office before going to his brother’s. Aurora, his younger sister, manages their chain of hotels. Being the Don and heir to their family’s fortune puts a lot of pressure on Stefano, so instead of making Thomas his VP, he gives it to Aurora. Stefano did this so that Thomas could focus on helping him run their mafia. It works perfectly because they own one of the best hotels in the world and are one of the most feared mafias. When Thomas realizes he’s already late for his meeting with Stefano, he decides not to. He knocks on his brother’s office door before entering. “I’ll call you back; Thomas is here,” Stefano says to the person on the phone once Thomas walks in. “Hello, brother,” Stefano greets his brother in Italian. “Hello, why did you ask to see me?” Thomas takes a seat opposite Stefano. “I believe you know why.” Stefano
A Second Chance CHAPTER 18
THOMAS He walks towards Melina and bends down to her level. He looks at her torn underwear on the ground, and his face reddens with rage. Pushing her hair that’s sticking to her face, he notices her bruised cheek. His nose flares up as rage wells up in his eyes. Thomas stands up and walks back to the two men who have just signed their death warrants. Thomas is furious about what he walked into. He couldn’t believe these idiots had the audacity to fuck with Melina. Grabbing their heads, he slammed them into the wall they pushed Melina against. Both men fall to the ground after knocking off the wall. Picking their heads off the floor, he slams them hard into each other. This is only a warm-up. They'll wish they'd never thought of fucking Melina by the time Thomas is done with them. Thomas takes out a cigarette from his inner breast pocket and lights it. He walks to Matteo, who has blood flowing from his bruised nose, and presses the bud into his right eye. Matteo screams scaring the
A Second Chance CHAPTER 19
MELINA Melina flinches as Thomas touches her shoulders. Turning to face him, she sees blood all over his body. Her bile rises, and she spills her guts all over him. Thomas doesn’t say anything as he pulls her hair out of her face. She couldn’t believe what she had just witnessed. The video was one thing but what Melina saw a few minutes ago was something else. Looking at Thomas, she tries her best not to look at the two dead men on the ground. Thomas takes off his shirt and cleans her mouth and bloody nose with the unaffected side before lifting her off the ground. She stares at him, wondering if he killed those men because they tried to rape her or just because they tried to rape a “woman”. She wishes it were the first because it would imply that hatred isn't his only emotion for her. She isn't fooling herself into thinking that because he killed those men for her, he still loves her. It just means that he can feel another emotion for her after she betrayed him. She smiles, hoping t
A Second Chance CHAPTER 20
The next day Melina packs her stuff with Serena's help. She was too tired to pack last night, so she moved it to today. She doesn’t have many clothes as everything she has was given to her by Linda. That’s why Melina could move packing to today. “Do you really have to go?” Serena asks, wiggling Melina’s arm as they stand in her room.“Unfortunately, I don’t have a say in whether I stay or not,” Melina says, patting Serena’s hand on her arm. Melina is sad she will be parting with Serena. They’ve become good friends over the last few weeks. She would miss her, and the fact that she doesn’t know when she will see her again makes the whole situation even worse.“I really hope you come back soon.”“I can’t say the same, but I hope to see you again.”Melina has no intention of fleeing while they are in Chicago. She loves her life and doesn’t want to be on the receiving end of Thomas’ wrath if she runs away again. Melina wishes he’d realize she can’t help him find James and finally let her
A Second Chance CHAPTER 21
“What are you thinking about?” Thomas asks from the chair across hers, a glass of scotch in his hand.“Nothing.”“Are you thinking about him?” he asks before taking a sip of his drink. Melina doesn’t need him to say the name to figure out who the “him” is.“No,” she says, wondering why he’s asking.“You should learn to do a better job at lying.” “I’m sorry,” she says, hoping he doesn’t make a big deal out of it.“How did you guys meet?” Did he just ask her that? “Tell me,” he says, taking a sip of his drink. “I want to know everything since we are going back to where it all started. You guys were high school sweethearts, right?” he leans back in his seat, eager to hear what she has to say.“Yes,” Melina doesn’t like that he’s curious about how she and James met. Anything she says could set him off, and she doesn't have much room to hide on the plane.“Fell in love when you were both 16 and
