Love Amidst Shadows: A Mafia Romance Story Chapter 42
Genna's POV Days turned into weeks and every morning I woke up either in Leonardo’s arms or with him slipping into my room before the sun came up fully. We made love slow some nights, fast other nights, always hungry because we could not keep our hands off each other. Adriana left for a short trip to Milan three days after the kitchen counter and the house felt peaceful without her eyes on us all the time. I cooked breakfast for Denise, took her to school, picked her up, helped with homework, read bedtime stories, then waited for Leonardo to come find me when the house went quiet. Life felt almost normal, almost safe, almost mine.One Saturday morning I woke up alone in my own bed because Leonardo had an early call and left before six. I stretched slow, smiled at the small ache between my legs from last night, got up to brush my teeth and pull on shorts and a tank top. A soft knock came at my door just as I finished tying my hair. I opened it and Leonardo stood there in jeans and
Love Amidst Shadows: A Mafia Romance Story Chapter 41
Genna's POV I stayed in my room all afternoon with the door locked because I could not face anyone after the verandah slap and after Leonardo carried Adriana away like I was nothing. My cheek still stung a little but the pain in my chest hurt worse. I sat on the bed with my knees up and my phone on the blanket until it rang loud. Leonardo’s name showed on the screen. I let it ring four times before I answered.“Go to the kitchen,” he said calmly. “Make me toast and coffee.”“Okay,” I answered flatly because I was still angry and I wanted him to hear it.I hung up, stood slowly, and walked downstairs barefoot. The house stayed quiet with Denise at school and the staff somewhere else. I went to the kitchen, pulled bread from the pantry, put two slices in the toaster, and started the coffee machine. I kept my back to the door because I did not want to see him yet.Footsteps came behind me softly. I knew it was him from the way he walked. He leaned on the doorframe, arms crossed, and wa
Love Amidst Shadows: A Mafia Romance Story Chapter 40
Genna's POV By 6:39am that morning, I slipped out carefully so I would not wake Leonardo because I needed to start the day for Denise.I picked up my nightgown from the floor, put it on quickly, tiptoed out of his room and closed the door soft behind me. The hallway stayed quiet with no one up yet so I went to my room, showered fast, dressed in jeans and a simple shirt, brushed my hair, and looked at myself in the mirror. My lips looked swollen from all the kissing and my neck had a small mark from his mouth but I felt different inside like something had shifted and I could not go back.I went to Denise's room next, opened the door gently, sat on her bed edge, rubbed her back softly until she opened her eyes, sleepy. She smiled when she saw me, and asked if we could have pancakes for breakfast. I said yes, helped her out of bed, took her to the bathroom, helped her brush her teeth, wash her face, and pick clothes for school. She chose a blue dress with white shoes and I braided her
Love Amidst Shadows: A Mafia Romance Story Chapter 39
Genna's POV I woke up slowly in the early hours with light coming through the curtains soft and grey and I felt Leonardo's arm heavy around my waist while his chest pressed warm against my back. My body tensed when I remembered everything from last night in a rush. I had slept naked in his bed all night after we had sex and I had let him take my virginity without thinking about the vial, Marco or anything else. His breathing stayed even behind me but then his hand moved slowly along my hip and up my side so I knew he was awake too. His fingers traced light patterns on my skin while I stayed still, pretending to sleep a little longer.He shifted closer so his mouth brushed my ear and whispered,“Good morning Sweetheart” his voice was rough from sleep and whiskey. I turned my head just enough to see his face close to mine with his eyes open and dark while he looked at me. “Good morning, Leo. I didn't know it was morning already.” My throat felt dry from everything we did last night
Love Amidst Shadows: A Mafia Romance Story Chapter 38
Leonardo POVI came home from the gala around two with the whiskey still warm in my blood because I drank more than usual to make the speeches and handshakes go easier. The house stayed dark and quiet when the driver dropped me off so I waved him away and walked inside alone. My tie hung loose around my neck and my shirt stayed unbuttoned at the top and I felt the cool air on my skin while I locked the door behind me. The hallway echoed a little with my footsteps but no one stirred because Denise slept early and the staff went to bed hours ago. I headed upstairs slow so I could think about the deals I made tonight and the faces I needed to remember for later.I reached the balcony door at the end of the hall and saw light spilling out faint from the glass. I stopped, looked closer. Genna sat outside curled in a chair with a blanket over her legs and her eyes on the city lights below. She wore her silk nightgown and her hair fell loose down her back and she looked small against the nig
Love Amidst Shadows: A Mafia Romance Story Chapter 37
Genna's POV I hooked my arm through Leonardo's as we left the house together because I wanted to feel close to him tonight and show anyone watching that he belonged with me. The driveway stayed dark except for the car lights and I walked slowly in my heels so I could lean against him more. He smelled clean from his shower and I smiled up at him while we headed to the black SUV waiting with the driver inside. I felt happy because he chose me for the gala after all and I knew Genna stayed upstairs probably fuming.My heel caught on a loose stone halfway to the car and I slipped hard, fell forward, gasped loud when my dress ripped at the side. The seam tore open high on my thigh and I felt air on my skin where it should not be. Leonardo turned fast, knelt beside me, hands gentle on my arms.“Are you okay?” he asked, voice worried.I looked down at the tear, saw my leg showing too much, let out a small cry because I wanted his sympathy. “My dress it's ruined,” I said, voice breaking a
