Chapter Ten: Reunited
“What exactly did you agree to in there?” Serenity asked when they pulled into the basement of the Jaxon building.
“That doesn’t matter, all we have to focus on now is staying alive.” He dismissed her, but Serenity wasn’t the type to back down.
“Of course it matters, it sounded bad, whatever it is you can’t do it.” She hurried after him as he made his way to the service elevator.
“Assuming we live to see the end of this war-” He pushed open the door manually, “I can handle it, okay? You don’t have to worry about me.” Xander pulled her in and pressed a combination of buttons that got the lift moving.

Serenity and Xander waited patiently seated in the grey BMW X5 for Enzo’s signal when Serenity suddenly broke the silence.“Do you love her?” She questioned, catching a glimpse of the red heart emojis on Xander’s screen.“Love? Who?” he looked up in alarm and Serenity swallowed the amused smile threatening to break out.“Sapphire.” She nods to his phone, “That is her name right? It doesn't seem right to call her ‘the red head’.” She grinned sheepishly.“Uh, yeah. She goes by ‘Fire’.”He replied, scratching the back of his neck awkwardly.“S

Checking her phone for the hundredth time, Serenity waited for some sort of indication that they were okay, but like the famous saying goes; no news is good news. Given the stillness of the warehouse and absence of bullets flying, Serenity could only assume they were still alive and well.Just as she locked her phone once more, it buzzed. Serenity hurriedly opened the message and frowned when she saw the words displayed on her screen.“It’s a trap.”she read aloud and before the words were fully out of her mouth shots echoed in the night and flashes of light appeared in the small windows of the warehouse.Scrambling up from the truck, she called to Olympia to drive the truck and sped across the street to the SUV parked across the street, th

Xander crept alongside his best friend, in the distance he could see the younger Lombardi brothers making their way to their own infiltration point and Xander felt a twinge of worry for them. “They’ll be fine.” Enzo grumbled, sensing Xander’s thoughts. “Yeah, of course.” He responded, but the feeling he awoke with that morning had yet to dissipate. “In position.” Matteo’s voice rang through the earpiece in their ears and Xander and Enzo shared a look. “Remember the mission. Keep it clean.” Enzo warned for the last time and gave the signal “Copy that, Don.” Darrio responded with an undertone of amusement and Xander bit

The dogtags with his name engraved in the metal were still clutched tightly between her fingers, no matter how many times she went over it in her head, no matter how many times she replayed the happenings of the evening, nothing made sense.“Excuse me, we’ve been waiting here for news about Lorenzo Lombardi. They wheeled him into surgery a few hours ago and we’re yet to hear anything.” Sapphire smiled sweetly at a nurse that passed by and by the look on the man’s face, he quite enjoyed the attention.Serenity watched the rambunctious woman with laser-like eyes. She wasn’t sure what it was about the sugary woman that grated at her nerves, but it could be a whole host of things; like the way she came barging into the hospital an hour ago looking like a peacock after a tornado and fu
Loving Mr Mafia Chapter Fifteen: Don Moretti
Gathered around the large boardroom table with grave looks on their faces were the five most powerful men in the underworld and standing at the head of the table was a man who hadn’t in a million years thought he’d be standing there. “As you may have heard, a series of attacks have been staged on the Lombardi clan, one of which has resulted in the incapacitation of the Don himself. Therefore I will be taking over control of the Mafia headquarters until such time that Don Lombardi is able to return to his position.” Alexander’s announcement, as expected, sparked uproar amongst the men in the room. “That’s absurd, Don Lombardi may have named you as his underboss, but we know that was only in name. The Lombardi family is the Mafia, we all know the right to the Donship belongs to Matteo Lombardi.” Joseph Genino, also known as the first Capo, spoke. “Matteo Lombardi’s whereabouts are currently unknown. Which leaves the only surviving heir to the Lombardi dynasty, Alessia Lombardi.” Xande

Serenity didn’t wait for the door to Xander’s office to close behind the man who had recently departed before barging in herself. The two of them along with Peter had taken refuge at Alexander’s primary residence which was a sizable house that actually belonged to his parents, though since they were on an extended vacation enjoying their retirement, the young master was free to do as he pleased.“What did he say, has he got any idea who took Matteo?” Serenity barked at the two men seated casually in the office.She wasn’t sure when the two became friends, but she rued the day since both Peter and Alexander saw it fit to out vote her today.“Another bogus lead.” Xander’s jaw clenched. There had been many

Like every day for the past month, Serenity entered Lorenzo’s room with hope sparking in her heart.“Hey Enzo.” She dropped her purse on the chair beside his bed and moved to stand in front of the window that overlooked the expansive gardens of the hospital. Across the green park where scores of people mulled, going about their business was another building that Serenity recently learnt was a rehabilitation centre- the best physical rehabilitation centre in LA.“Today marks a month since-” She cut herself off, she had yet to say the words aloud, somehow she felt like saying them would make it real and every fibre of her body screamed in protest.“Xander is doing good. Unsurprisingly he’s great at this whole Don thin

As bullets rained down on her, Serenity spotted a truck up ahead that seemed to be her only option for cover and Serenity pressed her foot harder to the floorboard. She could hear Xander roaring through the speakers, but she was too focussed on her task to hear what he was saying. A bullet whizzed past her head and lodged itself in the windshield, shattering the glass just as she swerved in front of the truck and onto the exit. The truck’s bulky body gave her the advantage she needed to lose the cavalry and without even checking for oncoming traffic she swerved onto the bridge and got back on the opposing lane. “I lost them, Xander! I lost them.” She breathed heavily. “Good, now keep driving, I’m waiting for you at the exit, follow me.” Xander breathed a small sigh of relief, but he knew they weren’t out of the woods yet. True to his word, a few miles up ahead Serenity spotted his charcoal grey Jeep. “I see you.” Xander swerved in front of her when he saw her coming and swiftly le
