“Will I ever come to terms with this truth?”

Rebecca sat in the comfort of her bedroom, thinking about everything and nothing at the same time.

How her life shifted from being the free woman she was to a caged rat never allowed to see the sky again in just a split second still marveled her.

But for some reason, it was something she had come to accept. Not that she had fully come to terms with being a prisoner– not to mention for a man like Diego of all people– but there was a sort of

    “Will he really stop?”–Rebecca's entire body was trembling beside herself, she didn't know what to say or how to deny such a claim. Even though he was wrong, he was dangerously close to the truth which was very unsettling. She had to force herself to take a few deep breaths before her voice came alive. "You're stalking me now?" "Rebecca, don't." He said firmly. "Don't even try to cover up this issue. It's very bad and I know you know it, that's why you're ashamed to say it to anyone." "You're wrong, Leon. Way off. The consigliere of the Gonzalez family?" She scoffed a laugh. "How would I ever get the chance to marry a man like him?"I really don't remember what happened three years ago and whether I saw you at an airport or not, but one thing I remember very clearly is that I was never married. I'm sure you've checked with the court, as you must have found out, I was never registered into any marriage with any man. "Leon, stop trying to believe you know everything when you don'

    “What kind of game could he be playing at?” –Diego stormed through the living room, his entire body thrashed forward like a tornado that had lost control of itself. He couldn't stop the rage that flowed through his veins neither could he stop his feet as they kept leading him to the dining room where Chase was reportedly lounging. "Brother--"Chase said the moment his eyes caught Diego's frame but Diego cut him off sharply with a strong punch to the jaw. Crashing to the ground, Chase tasted blood in his mouth and spat it out. His jaw ached terribly, almost like it was dislocated. "What exactly are you playing at, Chase?" Diego questioned, fuming with rage. "What do you want with her?"Chase's mouth twitched into a smile as he rose himself off the ground. Dusting his body, he looked lazily up at his brother. "Is that why you hit me? Because I went to say hi to an old friend of mine?" "An old friend..." Diego muttered with a disgusted laugh. "Don't be silly, Chase. You and I both

    “He's getting too close to the truth, there's no escaping him now.”–Rebecca kept thinking back at her encounter with Chase, something felt so... Off about him. He almost didn't believe her when she denied Diego as the father of her child. What was he up to?"Why aren't you eating your food?" Helen's voice cut through her train of thoughts. Rebecca looked up and blinked, for a second there, she had completely forgotten that she was sitting at the dining table. She shook her head. "It's nothing.""Let's hope it is." Helen voiced a reply. There wasn't a single sign of concern in her tone. "Why did you come home later than usual today? Did you go out after work?""I went to pick up Timothee from school." Rebecca responded in a bright tone. "He goes to school now?" Helen questioned, her perfectly shaped and skin brow arched as she asked. Rebecca nodded enthusiastically. For a moment there, she had hoped her aunt would share the joy that she felt at the fact that her little child was

    “Would he truly think such vile things of me? Why do I doubt it so much?” –Rebecca picked up her phone as it started ringing, she had immersed herself in work just to get all other thoughts out of her mind. Staring at the number, she couldn't recognize it. But as a business woman, she slid it to the answer button and pressed it to her ear. "Hello?""My oldest friend, long time no see." A familiar masculine voice said from the other end of the phone. "Uhm..." Rebecca was confused. It felt so familiar yet so distant at the same time. She couldn't quite put her finger on it but she was very sure that she knew who was speaking to her. "I'm... Sorry but I don't know who I am speaking to. This number isn't saved on my phone.""Ah... Forgotten me so soon. I'll pretend like I'm not offended." The voice was getting even more and more familiar. She managed to put a name to it the same moment the caller uttered his name. "Chase." A smile played on her face. "Chase! It has been a while in

    “He's the strongest man I've ever met and now he's willing to shift the entire world for me.”–Rebecca managed to get home that morning feeling tired and restless. She didn't want to leave, her entire body yearned for a few more moments next to him, but she knew that if she gave in to those feelings, she would never be able to leave. So she left instead, no words left behind. Hopefully no regrets too. But that part was a lie, she regretted it every step of the way. Vincenzo's words trailed back into her mind as she flopped against her bed. "You can't keep doing this, not to yourself or to Don Diego." He had said in a very firm voice. "You're hurting, you both are. You need to fix this. You can't survive without each other, your son needs the both of you at this point of his life."She wanted to hush him up, to tell him never to mention her son in their conversation again. But she knew he was right. Timothee needed them. He needed not just her but his father too. He didn't make it

  • Claimed By The Mafia Brothers    Thinking about her

    “Will I be too greedy to pull her to my side during this terrible time?” –Diego woke up to the sound of his phone blaring. A soft groan escaped his lips as he turned towards the bed side table and reached for his phone. It was a reminder for something he had to do that morning. Turning it off, he allowed his eyes to fall shut as he turned around in bed, his hand reaching for the woman who had slept peacefully next to him. His forehead creased softly with confusion as he realized he was alone in bed. His eyes grew open, alert and clear. "She's... Gone?" He muttered to himself as he looked around the room. Indeed, she was gone. Without a trace even. He picked up his phone to check the time. Surprise flickered across his eyes as he noticed it was only a little after six. The door to the underground room opened after a soft knock and he wondered if it was her until Vincenzo entered the room with a look of something that resembled sadness or concern. "Good morning boss." His voice

    It shouldn't hurt but it still does_Diego woke up with a soft groan. Opening his eyes, he felt even more tired than he did when he went to bed. How did he get to his room anyway? The last thing he remembered was going to the balcony for a smoke. Rubbing his forehead slightly, he tried to rememb

    “How troubled is his young soul?” –Rebecca woke up with a soft moan escaping her lips. She was met with an unfamiliar ceiling looking down at her and a skull splitting headache pinned her down as she tried to sit up. She groaned softly and laid back down with her eyes closed.

    “This desire will be the death of me!”_Rebecca wondered if that was how her life was meant to end. Being killed for something she didn't even dream about doing. His hold around her neck tightened and she could feel the air seizing from her lungs. She couldn't even speak now if she wanted to. Sh
