I check my face in my phone front camera. My face looks okay and my hair...? Huh.
I put the camera away. Gianna said to be irresistible that's a cheek already. No one can resist my charming personality so I'm going to keep being myself.
I refuse to be one of those women that change who they are just to win a man over.

"When we are together, I can't catch my breath and I feel like I'm drowning" I say wiping the tears on my cheeks. Why the hell am I crying? I lick my lips "You consume me and I don't understand these feelings, these sensations that you make me feel and I’m so confused. It's like nothing makes sense and it makes so much sense at the same time. Is it- is it supposed to feel like this? You know I've never being with another before you and I like what we do, a lot, maybe too much. Is that even” I paused to catch my breath “is it supposed to be like this? All this time, I just try to go with the flow. And follow your lead. But I'm scar
The mafia rules.... Mafia rules... I tsked under my breath Eva mentioned the book not quite long ago I also remember Niko saying it contained the rules and regulations, roles, responsibilities and obligations of everyone single member of the family. For now, I think it's time I get acquainted with it. After that night three days ago when Niko allowed me to call the shots in our bed. I've being floating on cloud nine. Whenever Niko is around I'd feel him Looking at me. His gaze reminds me of a nature documentary I once watched about a lion stalking a gazelle. I felt stalked. But not cornered.
A soft thud sounds as a servant drops some books on the table just a few inches away from the computer which I was working on. Without looking up, I pull my laptop to the side away from her and continued my work. Scrolling through New York's lists of restaurants, diner and hotels. Anywhere a couple can go to have a good time. Niko seemed to find the idea of going of a date weird which leads me to believe he’s maybe never been on one. Yeah, I know I’m telling myself things but I want to go with that for now. Either way, it’s the first date for Niko and I as a couple, it still means a lot. It's not long before I come up with a list of places that I think will do perfectly.
It's being a week since our supposed date. Niko has only slept in our bed two times since then. How do I know this? I've being keeping count. Even went as far as to examine his bedside to see it if looked like someone slept on it, it didn’t, no lingering warmth, or crease on the sheets. After he left me that evening, he didn't come home that night. I was calm when I woke up that morning. Sleeping had made me see things with clearer eyes. Back then in Niko's study the men looked like they were planning to go on a mission or something. It could have had to do with life and death so he probably needed to go. I understood that. It's not like he blew me off to go have a drink with the guys. So like every other morning that day, I showered after my morning swim and had breakfast. Maria informed me on the recent activities in the family though
I slept in today. I don't exactly wake up at any exact time but today it's a quarter past eleven a.m when I drag my body from my bed. After taking quick shower I blow dry my hair and allow it to fall down my back in its natural form which is a wild wave on a good day. Other times it's mostly a wild mess. For some unknown reason today seem to be a good hair day so... I'm thankful. I walk to the closet after putting on light makeup. Eyeliner, some mascara and lip gloss then pinched my cheeks to give my face a healthy flush. Picking out a pair of jeans and a red cashmere sweater, I dress up quickly, finally zipping up my flat boots and leave my room. "Shit I forgot my phone!" I paused as I got closer to the stairs. But I'm so freaking hungry. "hu! I'll just get it later, it's not like anyone ever calls me" I shake my head and continued down the stairs.
I step out to see a pretty silver sports car sitting in the driveway with Tommy now wearing a black leather jacket over his T-shirt and a pair of sunglasses perched on his nose standing beside it and looking at the watch on his wrist. "Saved by five seconds, I was really hoping you'd miss me" he doesn’t even hide his disappointment. "Sorry" I said smiling like crazy. "Who is guarding you today?" "Either Miguel or Danilo but I haven't seen either of them today" I tell him when I come to stand in front of him. "You're not allowed to leave the house without them" how did he know that? "But I have you. And you're a made man aren't you? You can guard me today" "Why do I feel like this is a bad idea?" "I already informed Niko. It's cool as long as we don't do anything dangerous" more like I left him a note but I don't think I should be telling Tommy that. Tommy e
It was Sunday morning and Eva had just invited me to join her for mass, I declined. I didn't feel like praying or socializing right now which is what I know will occur after the church service. Picking up my phone I face timed my mother. She answered on the third ring. "Lola?" "Hello mother" I greet. When her image becomes clear on my phone screen. "I imagined you'll be in church now." she paused. "you look like you just got out of bed" I looked down at my nightie and robe then at my mother's pale pink dress, pearls lining her neck delicately. Her hair swept into an elegant French twist. I know her feet will be in nothing less than four inch heels as we speak. Mama never misses a day of church. She even makes time for weekly services sometimes. Unlike me. I often found reasons to get out of going. Today wa
"What the hell do you think you're doing" he growled. And I just know what he's referring to. "I don't know. You're the one holding me down against my will" "You are my wife. You're will isMYwill. So, do you want to explain your behavior this last week while I'm still a
