~LUCA VITIELLO ~

Retrieving the file from the desk in my office, I straightened the tie of my suit while I strode towards the conference room where Michael Lorenzo was, with Anita Jeremy trailing behind.

“You're late again Mr Conglomerate,” Lorenzo muttered in a low amusing tone, lightly tapping his fingertips on the board table.

Without much regard to his statement, I stretched out my hand for a shake, his firm palm joining mine.

“Welcome, Mr Lorenzo,” I greeted, while scanning the team for the board meeting.

Shortly after, Ryan stepped in with another file in his hand as he gently dropped it on the table before me.

“Thanks for meeting with us again, Mr Lorenzo.” I said, opening the file Ryan brought. I took out two documents, handing one to Lorenzo so he could skim through it. “I know we signed the deal a week ago but I wanted to touch some bases on the implementation plan.”

“Okay, go on.” Lorenzo nodded thoughtfully, his eyes scanning through the document.

  • Contracted to the Mafia Lord: The devil and His pet   THE LUCA I SAW

    ~ MIA ANTHONY ~ My lesson today with my online tutor was one of the worst I had ever had. Mrs. Holly, a name that definitely doesn't suit her personality, greeted me with a scowl. From the moment the screen turned on, her pale face came in view. Her smudged red lipstick that doesn't compliment her white suit, and her high pitched voice that sounded like a horse in heat when she scolded me the moment we went live. “You are a minute late, I don't joke with punctuality!” She had said to me, even before I could introduce myself. We covered two important subjects, and the time went by slowly. I was extremely bored, tired, and hungry. A sudden tap on the door disrupted our lessons. “Who's there?” “You should be aware that there are no distractions during lesson time, right?” Her voice again, she spoke firmly that I had to sit back. With a louder tap, the sound echoed through the room. “Go!” Mrs. Holly sighed, her frail hands placed on her forehead in exasperation. “Miss Betty o

  • Contracted to the Mafia Lord: The devil and His pet   LOUD SILENCE

    ~MIA ANTHONY ~The ride home was silent. Home? Suddenly I questioned. Where exactly was home? Home definitely wasn't the large oppressive mansion, that the silent echo of it was like a cemetery; the sound that I had grown accustomed to.I looked out of the window. We had almost arrived at the mansion, the tall trees swishing by, their stems long and thick as they danced slowly to the cool breeze.As I stared at my phone, deliberating if to call Charles, my mind wandered back to the conversation we had. The more I thought about it, the more questions I had.Suddenly, the sense of frustration washed over me. I'm always kept in the dark, from the Mafia world of my supposed husband to my college crush who knows about my two bodyguards and feels confident enough to take me out of my marriage. Does he know Luca is a Mafia Lord? One who's not to be messed with?“Arghhh!” My hands clawed my hair in anger, the soft breeze wafting through the window didn't do justice as it also blew the strand

    ~ MIA ANTHONY~“Are you okay?” he voiced, stepping closer so that I could feel his rushed breath.“No Charles, I should be the one asking you.” I noticed his shoulder dropped and his breath steady. “I saw him.” Charles closed his eyes while he inhaled deeply.“Who?” I asked anxiously. For some reason, I felt we were like thieves escaping from the locals with machetes and eggs trying to sabotage us.“Him. Your bodyguard.” His eyes fixated on me as he studied me deeply.Surprise written over my face, I stepped back a bit, using the desk to support my hands. “How did you know? He's not the same person as the last one.”He moved forward again, ever so closer than earlier that I could outline his facial features. His aligned jaw line, sharp nose and the black mole at the side of his green, seren eyes. All of them.His silence was loud and the only obvious sound was our interwinged breath and that of Miss Gracie's feet as she walked round the library.Scrutinizing the library, a wave of r

  • Contracted to the Mafia Lord: The devil and His pet   A DELICATE DANCE

    ~MIA ANTHONY ~This was the last day of our test and I was unhappy to say these past days hadn’t been my best. It was the second day and Luca hadn't slept in the room.Though we had never been in a deep couple conversation normally, this period where we now live like enemies, was unbearable.After Luca's proposal that night, I woke up the next day to go to school. I didn't bother and was carefree, but he came back late and didn't come to the room as usual. Instead, he went straight to his study and had Annette bring his clothes from our room.I learned from Miss Betty that he left that night we had issues and came back home at noon the next day when I was in school only to leave again.Casually seated on the mattress, the soft hum of my voice echoed lightly in the quiet room as I moved my fingers lazily over my phone, reading the chats of my friends in the group chat when a soft knock interrupted me.“Good day ma'am, Boss asked that I get him his clothes,” Annette spoke, her head sl

    ~ MICHAEL LORENZO ~Casper's quiet voice echoed in my ear as I turned uncomfortably on the large sofa in the hospital. The window curtain had opened a bit and a stream of light penetrated the room, giving it a warm feel. Shaking off the sleepiness, I remembered where we were and my eyes instantly darted to the person on the bed. Still asleep.Sitting up to wear his shoes, Casper whispered again. “We need to prepare for work, remember, you have a meeting with Luca Vitiello.” I had wanted to ask him why the low tune but then I realized he doesn't want to wake my Mother.“What’s the time?” At the mention of Luca, I stood up like I had taken some energy drink seconds ago.“It's past 06:00 already,” he replied, this time, already ready while he tightened the knot of his tie.Shortly after, Doctor Robert came in again.“If there’s any further emergency or discussion, I will let you know,” he said, giving me a light tap on my shoulder.My eyes scanned his face. He was getting old. Doctor Ro
