Madeleine

Despite how things ended between me and Angelica on the night of the cook-out, she has been oddly pleasant and staying away from the booze whenever I'm around.

Most of the time, she behaves like my older sister, not the evil stepsister type I expected, and Regina phones me at least twice a day with new plans. She's like a clucking mother hen, and wants to know every detail.

Rafael, Betsy, Ethel, and I settle into a kind of domestic routine where everyone’s happy. Rafael goes to work at night and comes home in the early morning hours. We talk, we make love, and we get up to have breakfast with Betsy.

I have no idea what he’s up to, he won't tell me, and when I ask questions he shuts me down. All I know is that he's relaxed and he stopped smoking. The secrecy annoys me. Simultaneously, I have no time to worry about it, because Angelica and Regina make sure that I stay occupied.

More and more wives start to join us for various outings, and the women who were at the cook-out s

    RafaelI look up from the magazine I’m reading when Madeleine enters the bedroom. She’s home late today, and wasn’t here to have dinner with Betsy. The little girl had a meltdown to end all meltdowns.“You’re home,” Madeleine says and closes the bedroom door behind her.“Yes,” I sigh and put the magazine on the bed next to me. “Betsy had… a moment tonight. I thought it would be better if I stayed to help Ethel.”“Shit,” Madeleine curses and puts her purse on the chair.Today, she’s wearing a khaki-coloured pleated skirt that falls just above her knee, and a white blouse. She’s steadily changing her wardrobe and buying clothes she likes. Her clothes can’t be called revealing, but it’s not as prim and proper as my choices were. She has very refined tastes - almost elegant without coming across as too marmish. I like it.“I’m sorry. I’m late. It’s my fault. Once she gets into a routine… when you break it, she has those moments,” Madeleine goes on. “It’s nothing I couldn’t handle. Why a

    RafaelI wake in the middle of the night. Madeleine is curled tightly against me. For once, she's in a deep sleep. She always tosses and turns in her sleep, waking me up at random times during the night.But not tonight. No nightmares are plaguing her.With a soft moan she turns away from me and onto her stomach, tucking one arm under her hip and the other under her head. I use the opportunity to get up and go to the bathroom.I’m awake now, and I won’t be able to go back to sleep. My mind is already churning, considering my next move.I know where Sforza is. His last instructions to Rossi were on the flash drive I found in his office. Stupid to leave evidence like that behind. Sell the diamonds.Sell the last of the cargo.Sell the house.Wire the money to his offshore account in Spain.He wants all of it. He really doesn’t plan to come back, and he’s not giving his captains a taste, even though they are taking on the risk of selling his diamonds and his human cargo. No wonder Rossi

    RafaelI have a lot more faith that Madeleine will be able to keep her temper in check when she speaks to Harris. After the scene in the bedroom it’s almost as if some kind of peace has settled over her. She’s quiet, introspective, but calm. I don’t think she’ll ever cease to amaze me. Every minute of every day, she surprises me a little more. I can see my life with her. I can see my entire future. The two things that used to be the most important to me, the family and the business, doesn’t seem quite so significant anymore. I open the glass door for Madeleine and stand back so she can step inside. The police station is cold, the air dry, floors as filthy as ever. We walk past the row of prostitutes waiting to be processed to the front desk. “Is Detective Harris in?” I ask.“Yes, Sir. He said to send you straight to room two.”An interogation room. Not his office. He wants to intimidate us. At least, he hopes he'll be able to frighten Madeleine. He knows I've been in too many inte

    MadeleineRafael lifts me up and gently lays me on the bed. He reaches down to take off the condom, ties it, and throws it in the bin. So that was what he was doing while I crouched on the bed, ass in the air? Getting a condom.He lies down, and protectively wraps his arms and legs around me, engulfing me in the heat and weight of his body.For some insane reason, I almost start laughing, but I can’t. I don’t dare.Something inside me, new and unfamiliar, yet spectacular and alive, is growing in the places where darkness used to live. But it still feels fragile and I’m afraid if I laugh now it will break. “Are you okay?” Rafael asks. “Is there anything you need to talk about?” His voice is so soft. As if he’s whispering a prayer.“Have you… done that before?”“Yes.”“And you like it?”“I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t.”“I- what… why do you like it?”He shrugs and nuzzles his nose in my neck, inhaling deeply as if the smell of my skin makes him high. “I don’t know. I didn’t start out th

    MadeleineI watch him walk into the bathroom as if he didn’t just threaten to spank me, and I can’t figure out if he was serious or just playing with me. He made the threat before. When I just moved into the house, but he never followed through. Maybe it’s just something he does - make vague threats. “I thought you were going to spank me,” I say before I can stop myself.I’m still angry at him. Giving me orders and expecting me to blindly follow them without questions. Like I’m one of his guys.Rafael turns and watches me, his hazel eyes growing darker, fingers curling around the doorframe. “I never discipline when I’m angry.”Then he disappears into the bathroom without a word.I don’t even try to sleep. My heart pounds too loudly in my ears, and my thoughts dart around like fireflies in the dark. I shift on the bed, pulling my knees tighter to my chest, listening to the splashing water, waiting for it to stop. Every nerve in my body is on high alert. He didn’t admit to it, not alo
