(Writer's POV)

"What do you mean by my daughter isn't back from her business trip?!" Jacob, Lisa's dad, yelled at the woman in her late thirties, who happened to be Lisa's boss.

"She is not yet back from her business trip," the lady answered, her tone low and her eyes darting nervously because she knew she was lying to the old man.

"Business trip? Among all the workers here, why did you choose my daughter for the business trip?" Jacob asked, annoyed.

The lady took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves so Jacob wouldn't realize she had been feeding him lies.

"Lisa is the most capable one, and that's why I chose her. You should be happy about this."

"Happy about this? The last time I spoke to my daughter was on the night before her sudden disappearance. She never mentioned any business trip to me."

"Because it came as an emergency. Go back home, and I am sure your daughter will be home soon," the lady said, hoping he'd leave, but Jacob shook his head.

"I'm not leaving until

  • In The Arms Of A Mafia Boss    Bombshell

    (Alessio's POV) I watched the rain as it hit the window in the hotel suite. It's raining just like Lisa had announced yesterday. I couldn't stop thinking about her throughout the night. The way she laughed carefreely with her co-workers lingered in my mind. She seemed happy, as if she had forgotten what she did to me. Why I hid from her is still a mystery I am yet to solve. No matter how hard I think, I can't come up with one specific reason why I hid away from her like I was the one who had done her wrong. I didn't know what she did to me that I can't forget about her or even my feelings for her. I never resented her like I thought I did. Just seeing her face after five years melted all the resentment I had against her. I wanted her back, and I hated myself for craving the woman who almost sent me to my early grave. The ringing of my phone brought me back to reality, and when I looked at the caller, it happened to be Ivan. "What do you want?" I asked after I swiped gree

  • In The Arms Of A Mafia Boss    Lustful advances

    (Lisa's POV) "That's a pretty name for a pretty lady like you," I complimented her, finding her overwhelming. She laughed and flaunted her hair. "You think so?" she asked in a funny way, and we both laughed. "Yes, you do. You're pretty," I complimented her again. She didn't have California beauty, but she was beautiful. "Thanks for the compliment, Lisa," she sighed. "I wish my fiancé could also say that to me. Do you know he has never complimented my beauty or tell me he loves me?" There was a string of pain in her voice, but she cleared her throat. "I'm saying too much for a first-time meeting, aren't I?" I opened my mouth to say something, but I changed my mind and shook my head. Her fiancé just reminded me of Alessio. He never complimented my beauty, and I only hear him say he loves me once, and it happened because of the situation we were in. "Are you busy?" she asked. "Why?" I muttered, and she sighed again, flipping her hair backward. She was tall. "I came to Ca

  • In The Arms Of A Mafia Boss    Fallen for her charms

    (Lisa's POV) Laughter erupted throughout the whole restaurant as I ate dinner with my co-workers. At first, I didn't want to join them, but I decided to—at least it's time for me to make more friends and hang out with them like a normal lady would. "I'm glad you joined us for dinner, Lisa. You've always rejected our offer whenever we invited you for dinner, so I guess this is one of our lucky days," Malia said. She had been working in the company way before I did, but this is the first time we would be having a conversation. Don't blame her, blame me—I always tend to avoid chit-chats, but not anymore. "I'm glad I accepted too," I smiled sheepishly, sipping my glass of red wine. We were ten in number and we were all dining in a round table, just like co-workers do. "You were also amazing today, Lisa. Everyone keeps talking about how smooth and breathtaking your voice is," another complimented me and I smiled at him. "Are you guys having dinner without me?" Frederick asked as he ap

  • In The Arms Of A Mafia Boss    Kiss her

    (Alessio's POV) Chloe and I stepped out of the airport, her hand cuddling over me. Looking around the city where Lisa comes from, it almost smelled like her. I've kidnapped her from this city, but this will be the first time I’d be stepping foot here. "I'm so happy you changed your mind and came here with me, Alessio. We are going to have a wonderful moment together, then once we're back in Rome, we will push through with the wedding," she squealed excitedly, but the scornful look I gave her made her stop smiling. "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong to offend you?" she asked. "I make the decision on when we get married, not you. Do I make myself clear?" I declared, and she nodded, smiling again. "You should make the decision on when the wedding will happen. You know better," she beamed at me. A black car stopped in front of us, and two men in tailored suits came out of the car to get our things into the car trunk. We got everything prepared before we embarked on a trip to

  • In The Arms Of A Mafia Boss    Touch me

    (Lisa's POV) "Mummy, when is Daddy coming home? You said he'll be back soon, so why hasn't he come home yet?" Alessia asked as I prepared her for preschool. Isabella was seated on the sofa, but she didn't say anything because she had warned me about this before. "He'll be back soon," I replied softly. "That's what you keep saying, and yet he hasn't come home to be with us. Does my daddy hate me?" she asked, and I quickly shook my head, defending Alessio. "Of course not, Alessia. Your daddy loves you so much," I replied, even though I didn't know what Alessio's reaction would be if he found out we have a daughter together. Is he going to hate her? Love her? Or resent her because of me? "If he doesn't hate me, why is he wasting time coming to stay with us?" she pouted and I licked my bottom lip as I was short of words to say to her. I shouldn't have lied to her, knowing fully well that Alessio would never come to find me. Isabella cleared her throat all of a sudden and said, "Yo

  • In The Arms Of A Mafia Boss    A fool for love

    (Alessio's POV) "Why should I go to California?" I asked, knowing that a certain person I didn't want to see lives there. "As you know, Chloe here is my princess," he said with a smile. "And how does that answer my question?" I asked, and he smiled. "It's simple, Alessio. Chloe wants to go on a vacation to California." "I thought you said your dad wanted to discuss something serious with me?" I said, directing the question to Chloe, but she smiled sheepishly at me. It's obvious she talked her dad into this. Just like he said, Chloe is his princess, and he wouldn't hesitate to do anything for her. It was through her influence that he helped me restore the Declan empire. "If she wants to go on vacation to California, she can do it on her own. I don't need to go with her," I said. I wasn't ready to meet her again. I've said it countless times that I resent her, but I wasn't ready to meet her again. "You're her fiancé, Alessio, and you both will be getting married soon," C
