~ ROMAN ~

I had her beautiful face that I missed as h*ll burned into my brain like a scar I couldn’t stop touching.

Vittoria.

The way she had looked at me when I walked into her office still sat with me. It was not her being angry at me that killed me. It was the absence of love and distrust she had for me. Being cold, numb, detached.

I did not want to believe I had lost her already. But I knew I had broken her. And that I was an assh*Le for it

And whatever she was doing to me now, that… I deserved.

“You’re zoning out again, Rio.”

Diego’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts. He was seated across from me in the dimly lit meeting room in the nightclub, leaning back lazily in his chair with a half-eaten croissant forgotten on the plate in front of him and a new cup of coffee he had just gotten.

“To be fair,” Cleto muttered from beside him, his arms crossed as he stuffed his face, “He has a lot to zone out about. It'll feel so shitty if I were in his position also."

I glared at Cleto. “I’

    ~VITTORIA ~I tugged at my black dress over my hips, smoothing down the fabric as I stared at my own reflection in the mirror. My hair was slicked back in a bun and I added a fascinator with a little veil net to elevate the outfit. My mind never stopped thinking about him. And by him, I meant Roman. After he had left my office, he sent me another apology gift for two days straight. Of course, he had found out the hotel I was staying in. I was sure it hadn't been a big deal for him since I was in the state now and not in Ontario any longer. Although I was tempted to run away yet again from time to time. I had gotten the text about the news of his mother and his mother's funeral. He had asked me to come to it, since it would mean a lot to him if I did. So here I was, already dressed and ready to go. I wondered if he was okay, how he was feeling, if his mother's death was taking a huge toll on him. But I couldn't come to a conclusion since from the little he had told me, he didn't qu

    ~VITTORIA ~"I'm not sure Ma'am would appreciate you going in there." I heard Nicola say from outside. "I'm not in the mood today for this bullshit, Grump." A male voice replied making my heart skip a beat. Of course, I recognised that voice wherever, how could I not? I found myself clenching my jaw and bringing out my gun from my drawer. The hotness flowing throughout every part of my body turned into a fresh feeling of anger. Not hurt, not sadness but anger now. How dare he come here after everything he did? How dare he show his face here? He had some d*mn nerve as usual. The door opened wide and Roman came in alone, shutting the door before Nicola could come in. His eyes rested on me and I saw a sign of relief rush through his eyes for a short second. He took a step towards me and I took up my gun. "One more step forward and I'm pulling this trigger," I told him, hearing the coldness in my own voice as I spoke to him. But at the same time being unapologetic about it. He stopp

  • Lilith Addiction(A mafia book)    Chapter 64

    ~VITTORIA~I was in Ontario again. In a hotel room, a box of tissues is almost finished, lipstick, mascara and wine stains all over the white rumpled bedsheets. The room was barely lit because I had had the blinds down ever since I got here blocking off any light from creeping into the room. And at night, I usually just sat in the dark when I cried, and when I was not crying, I was sleeping. This was my third day here and the only person who knew I was here was Yara. That was before I turned my phone off and ghosted everyone.Me running away from everything and just coming to bask in my own sorrow and darkness was the only way I saw I could get through this, at least for a while, before going to work. And I hated that the Costa Nostra rule of business couldn't just let me divorce him right away. Because I mean, we had married out of business, in front of everyone. Everyone knew it wasn't a marriage whose foundation was based on love. So what face did I have in the presence of Tiziano

    ~VITTORIA~Immediately, I heard the sound of footsteps and two things colliding like a fist to the face and a thud to the floor followed. At this point, my racing heart had stopped, and I was just standing in front of the door like a statue, not knowing what to do. The hotness I started to feel flowing through my veins was taking over, and I was starting to feel this little pressure in my head. Why wasn't Roman denying anything North was saying? Was this what he was doing this whole time? Playing with me? Getting me to open up to him? To trust him? To love him? I heard some coughing, "What was the other thing too, hit it until you get bored? So how did it feel inside her huh?" North asked and the punches continued. I felt the tears starting to well up in my eyes and from my hand, the strap of my clutch slipped out, making my clutch fall to the ground. Every thought I had been pushing down and every doubt I had been ignoring were all fighting right now to come to the surface. Ever

    ~VITTORIA~My thoughts did not stop jumbling together after North visited the previous day. And even as I lay on Roman's chest the next morning, for some reason, I couldn't bring myself to ask him about it. I knew I had grown to trust him no matter what. Or so I thought. Because now, at the very bottom of my heart, I was feeling a cold fragile sense of doubt, which seemed to be growing more sturdy as the time went by.I pretended to be fine though, swallowing down the bitter taste of my suspicions and acted like every normal day; greeting him with the morning kisses just like we did every morning, having breakfast together and even going to work together, with him dropping me off first. And promised to pick me up whenever I was done.I texted Gio immediately to get my car from the house since I would be needing it later in the day and called on Nicole to get me the paperwork and updates for the day. If anything, I needed to get my mind occupied to prevent it from drowning in my though
