~ MIA ANTHONY ~

I smiled to myself as I strode to Mr Theodore’s office.

“Good day Sir,“ I greeted while I stood in his Office. Like last time, he was seated in his brown leather chair. Two chairs which were for visitors were at the left corner of the office, right against the wall. His office was big, big enough to even carve out another office.

“Sit,” he ordered, but there was silence for almost two minutes. He was writing or rather, inscribing something on a note. I wanted to speak, to ask why he wasn't talking and was just keeping me seated but I decided against it and he finally spoke up, putting the pen and note away where other books on his table had been arranged.

“You know why I called you here?” He asked and I shook my head negatively. How could I know why I was called for?

“You would be assigned a new online tutor…”

“Why?” I asked before he could finish. Why are they changing everyone around me?

“Let me finish speaking Mia.”

“Okay Sir, I’m sorry.”

  • Contracted to the Mafia Lord: The devil and His pet   THE SHADOWS WE KEEP

    ~ MICHAEL LORENZO ~I stood at the ceiling to floor window of my office, my eyes gazing at the now calm glittering city. Swirling the glass of champagne in my hands, today had been very busy; with me visiting the hospital, attending back to back meetings and signing multiple documents.“Casper, get the car ready,” I muttered as the piercing ring of my phone echoed in the dimly lit office. I made my way to the table.On the table aside my phone were notebooks, a few documents, vape and the contract between Luca and I — Strategic Partnership Agreement. It's been a week since we signed this deal and as I thought back to the meeting I had with Luca, his unmoving stance and his determination for progressive partnership had impressed me. While still staring at the blue binded contract, a grin played on my lips when I heard the one word. “Done!” the caller said from the other end.“Okay.” I disconnected the call.“Sir, the car is ready,” Casper said and we both rushed out of the room.

  • Contracted to the Mafia Lord: The devil and His pet   THE SHADOW THREAT

    ~ LUCA VITIELLO ~One more time, I glanced at my little Mia before dashing out of the room.We took the car which I had taken to Lorenzo's party.I took out my phone as I searched through my contact list for Doctor Peng's contact but he beat me to it as his name appeared boldly on my phone screen.“Luca! What the hell is with the casualties?” Peng thundered from the other end. Gabriel had done a good job contacting him on time.“Peng, even I don't know yet, but I will give you a full update tomorrow, for now, just make sure none of them dies.” I uttered, tapping my foot restlessly in the car.At the warehouse, the metal locks were destroyed, broken and bent beyond recognition. “How many men were injured?” I asked Damien as I stepped into the dimly lit Warehouse.The state of the warehouse was shocking. The air was thick with smoke, grease and of…. blood.“I don't know how many were severely injured, but eight men were taken to the hospital,” Damien replied.“What do you mean by you d

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

    ~MIA ANTHONY ~I got a message from my new online tutor that she wouldn't be available today. But why would she commence teaching only to make excuses the next day? Or was she ordered by Luca to withdraw? At the thought of Luca, I recalled yesterday's event. His voice when he proposed the America travel idea, his countenance when I rejected it and his defiant attitude when he gave up, all came reeling back.If he had been his usual self, he would have told me to pack my bags but he agreed easily. I didn't believe it at first until I saw him facing his back to me and not pursuing the discussion. But his absence in the morning; the empty space I met beside me and the cold feeling of the sheet told me that it had been a long time since he left the room. Had I made him angry? Did he sleep in his study instead? Feeling guilty, I wished he had dropped a note; at least, like the one time he had done. “Mia, you set the rules, you're finally getting happy, don't ruin the moment, okay?” I

  • Contracted to the Mafia Lord: The devil and His pet   CONFLICTED HEART

    ~ LUCA VITIELLO ~"Are you drawing a battle line, Luca?” You seem to love my name so much, Lorenzo. But the Mafia Clan isn't fading anytime soon,” I uttered as I left. His face remained in its former demeanor.******The loud sound of the bathroom door brought me out of my thoughts as I stepped into the room. My heart quickened and my palm grew sweaty as I watched her walk past me. However, I had been expecting a welcome back greeting as usual but I received none.“How was school today?” I asked, while I steadily walked towards the bed, but I got no response.My thoughts became a clash of battle. Where did I go wrong? How do I navigate this rising issue? How do I get her to talk to me? I knew she wanted space, but I hadn't known this was how she wanted it— ignoring me.Taking off my clothes, I stepped into the bathroom, her body wash fragrance wafted through my nose, reminding me that I could only smell her; her scent, and not get to touch her.Under the shower, I gasped as the icy

  • Contracted to the Mafia Lord: The devil and His pet   THE SPACE BETWEEN

    ~ LUCA VITIELLO ~ “I overheard you guys discussing a deal, did you sign a deal with him?”“Yes.”“Okay, but why? I know Lorenzo doesn't do any good when it comes to the Mafias’ which you're aware of, yet you still made a deal with him?”“Deals aren't made based on emotions but strategies, don't worry, I know what I'm doing.”I wouldn't call the night a splendid one, maybe because I wasn't spending it with my little Mia or because Lorenzo had pissed me off with his fake smile. I wish I could read his mind and not his actions. It can be tiring, trying to observe what the other person is doing.It's been more than a week since I got a threat letter or heard any news of a stolen item. With the help of Uncle Diego and my team, I was able to increase the security of the warehouse and also recruit more people to guard the ships when importing. “Do you have a castle?”Tessy asked, pulling me out of my reverie. I looked at her briefly. She was wearing the dress I bought for her. A turquoise

  • Contracted to the Mafia Lord: The devil and His pet   WELCOME PARTY

    ~ TESSY ~And what came into view was a magnificent castle. I knew Lorenzo was rich but how rich was he? The castle was located in a large coastal landscape with it being the center of attraction. In its majestic, imposing structure, the majestic and the beauty of it was awe-striking.As I stepped down from the car, I even got a better view of the castle. The tower was a round shape, one that could serve as a prison, but were there prisoners there? The thick walls made of granite and sandstone could be seen as it was architecturally, yet roughly placed on the walls from the castle bottom to the top of the tower. There were thin openings in the stone wall, like the one I usually watch in the ‘80s movies.Luca stretched out his palm and I took it as we walked across the drawbridge to the gate.I was enveloped into an atmosphere of splendor and luxury as I stepped in. The air, alive with a soft hum of communications and people gently clicking crystal glasses. The large hall was almost
