Olivia

The rest of the day, I waited for Leonardo to come back home so I could confront him about his words, but he didn’t.

I sat the whole day and night until the early hours of the morning waiting for his car to pull up in the driveway, but neither he nor his minions showed their faces.

Rosa had left right before nine after she had asked me about a million times if there was anything she could make, but there was none. I didn’t feel like chewing anything.

Once convinced that they would not be returning home, I made my way upstairs; there was no point in waiting.

I went through my closet and found the business card I had brought back with me.

I looked at the business card in my hand. The clock next to my bed said it was four; most people I knew would be asleep, but Vincent hadn’t struck me as most people.

I walked out back downstairs; the only place I had seen a phone in the house was the kitchen. Although I had no use for it before, I dialed the number on the card and waited.

  • Contracted to the Mafia Boss Leonardo De Luca   Chapter 58 O in Bed

    Olivia I woke up startled, something was moving on top of the bed covers. Leonardo hadn't been sleeping in our bed for sometime, I knew it wasn't him, and whatever it was, it was too light to be a person. I counted to five before I threw the covers and sat up. O was on the bed, struggling to find a good spot to lie down in. I got out of bed and looked around the room, there was not a sign that anyone had come inside. It was just me and Leonardo's dirty dog. 'How did he even get in?' It was pointless to even think that he had gotten here by himself. What sort of sick game was Leonardo playing now? I found my morning shoes and walked to Cassandras room, she was still sleeping, at least O hadn't payed her a visit, not that he could reach her cot but I had come to learn that nothing was impossible for him. Satisfied that Cassandra was okay, I took the elevator down and went in search of Leonardo. He had taken this game a bit too far. The maids nodded in greeting

    Leonardo Cici led us to the throne room, but I stopped him by the door, “What is Olivia doing here?” I asked. He had taken me by surprise with Nikolai and after that everything had moved too fast for my liking. “She's not supposed to be in there.” I said, one hand on my waist and another brushing my hair back. “She is part of this.” He said, he stood against a wall. “Yes. But for now, I just want the results and not to involve her.” She didn't know I knew and I wanted to keep it that way for as long as possible. “Okay then, I'll tell her to leave.” He went inside and spoke to Olivia, who immediately looked at me for confirmation. I nodded my head for her to leave. She looked at the room in detail, before she walked out. Once she had left, Cici closed the door and came to sit down. Now it was the three of us on the round table. Cici turned to Nikolai to bring him up to speed on what the meeting was about. Nikolai nodded in response but didn't seem surprised.

    Cici The minute Stanley walked in with Nikolai, I knew that there was no time to waste, and as for waiting that too was gone, the time had finally come to face the music. Leonardo looked at me and then at Nikolai. To be fair Nikolai didn't have the answers either, I had invited him to come because he was the families advisor and if there was going to be a decision between life and death, he needed to be around, even of it involved me. The procedure needed to be fair. I wiped my lips with the napkin and pushed my chair back. It this was my last meal, I had enjoyed it very much. Thank you. Olivia looked horrified and confused, she raised an eyebrow at me when I mentioned her being in the meeting. Although she didn't say as much but I could only guess what her mind was telling her, that her worst nightmare had finally come true. Once everyone was on their feet, Leonardo started walking in front of us and we followed behind him. When he took a turn to go to his office, I

  • Contracted to the Mafia Boss Leonardo De Luca   Chapter 55 The Air Thickened

    Olivia I lay awake next to Leonardo and counted each breath he took as he slept peacefully beside me. Cassandra was tugged away snug in her new nursery only a few feet away from us, and I was back in Leonardo's bed. What more could a girl ask for? Not only did it feel like the knot I'd been carrying for the past year had dissolved but I knew that I could now breathe again. I put my hand on his bae chest and traced a lazy finger on top of the artwork that adorned his chest and arms. Most of the tattoos were written in a foreign language and I couldn't make out what was written, but for him to have put them on his body, whatever it was, it must have meant something. Leonardo stirred and I froze mid stroke, but he only tightened his arm around me and his breath evened out. Sometime during my exploration I had fallen asleep and I was awoken by a voice In the room. I turned on my side to find the bed cold. With a yawn and my toes stretched, I picked up my head and saw

  • Contracted to the Mafia Boss Leonardo De Luca   Chapter 54 Cassandra's Spell

    Leonardo The following day after Isaac's attack on my family. I sat in the sun room feeding Cassandra her milk bottle when I heard footsteps, I turned to find Olivia standing by the door, and for once after a long time, she looked alive in cotton pants and a Cardigan. “Do you want to…?” gesturing to the bottle in my hand. She shook her head and walked closer towards us, finding a seat next to me. She took Cassandra's blanket and put it on her lap. “How are you?” I asked, keeping my voice deliberately low for Cassandra who was falling asleep in my arms. I put the bottle of milk on the table. Olivia didn't seem interested in us, she looked content to watch us from a distance. “I'm fine, only shaken up I guess.” She said, stealing a glance at me. I exhaled. “Do you know why those men came into our home last night?” She asked and I nodded feeling something like peace spread over me at the mention of the words, ‘our home.’ “Was it a deal that soured?” she continued wit

  • Contracted to the Mafia Boss Leonardo De Luca   Chapter 53 What a Clown

    Leonardo I pulled away from 0livia and touched my lips before i left the room and walked away. I needed to control my desire, no matter how strong I shouldn't let deter me from my goal. I needed answers before anything else, but self control seemed to be an extreme sport. I checked my watch before calling Stanley on his cell, he picked after two rings. “Bring the car around.” I said and hung up. “Lunch is ready, are you going to your office,”? Rosa asked as soon as I appeared. “No. I'll grab something on my way, I have a meeting outside the City.” I said and luckily Stanley chose that time to make an appearance. He gave a slight nod to indicate that everything was ready. “Where to boss?” Stanley asked the minute we exited the estate and joined the main road. He knew that today my day was open and since I hadn't made mention of any special meetings, I was supposed to be be free. “I want to check how the work is going at the plant.” I said before sending a text to
