CHAPTER 8

FIVE YEARS LATER (Present time)

"You know if you keep bugging father about going to the warehouse with me or any of the guys, he will hasten his process on finding you a husband." My older brother Dante stated as he continued working on his laptop, his chair swirling left and right. The warehouse isn't working on exactly a warehouse it's just code for like a huge basement that isn't actually underground.

"You know about that?" I scrunched up my nose.

"I know about everything. I am the oldest."

"What, and you agree with it?"

"Agree with what?"

"Finding me a suitable husband." I air quoted around the husband. "We are not in the 18th century anymore."

"The world we are born into is." he shrugged. "I will make sure it is not an asshole he gets for you. I promise." he promised.

"Back to the main topic, you can just sneak me in. He doesn't have to know about it."

"He will skin me alive once he finds out his princess has been to the warehouse."

I rolled my eyes. "You're exagg

    Falling asleep on the couch was not what I had intended for but I awoke suddenly from the whirring noise of the elevator. I blinked rapidly to clear my vision from the sleep still clouding it as I picked up my phone to check the time, squinting my eyes at the brightness. 1:00am. That was an hour earlier thah Ivan said he was going to be back.I heard the ding sound of the elevator, making me jump from the couch and stand closer to the wall. I picked up my purse and brough out the little knife I had hiddden in there. The door to the elevator openjed and whoever it was stepped out, muttering a string of curses. I tried keeping my breathing under control and tried not breathing too loud. I thought Ivan said this place was safer than my place. The footsteps sounded closer every second and I tightened my hold on the knife. Immediately the intruder came into view, with their back facing me, I wrapped my arms around their neck, with the knife held tightly against their neck. "This is the s

    As I'm already halfway into the box of pizza, my can of pepsi half full he comes down the living room wearing a black top and a black slacks. His hair looked wet, meaning he just came out of the shower. Images of him, his naked body in the shower flickered before me and I shook my head to clear myself of the images. Fucking hell. I looked away from him and then picked up another slice. He walked into the kitchen where I was, moving straight to the refrigerator and brought out a bowl and then placed it into the microwave. I know he doesn't eat pizza with mushroom toppings, because he's allergic but still I ask, just to fill the silence. "No pizza?" He glanced back at me, "you know I hate mushrooms." "Well you could have ordered some other type of toppings." "Would you have eaten it?" He asks as he rested against the kitchen slabs, his ankle crossing over the other and his arms across his chest. That...that was a picture of magnificence. I inhaled loudly, "no." I do not eat an

    "Ladies let's welcome to the stage the almost newlywed couple." a voice from the stage rang out and people started clapping their hands as they made way for both myself and Ivan. He held my hand in his, I looked down at out intertwined hands and then at him, but he didn't glance at me, he was just looking straight ahead, towards the stage.Ivan gave a polite nod to the man that announced us as he left the stage. He was probably one of their made men. It would take time to get familiar with the new faces. And there were a lot of new faces. "Thank you everyone for coming to celebrate the announcement of our engagement here, today with us." he paused, looking around the room, "It is an honor to get married to a Bianchi, joining our families together through a marriage alliance which eventually brings both sides of our families together, the bratva and the Italians.""I know for generations our side has been at war with one another but then the war and the killings minimized as our last

  • METANOIA   Chapter eighteen

    I was not involved in any part of the arrangement of the engagement party. Not that I particularly care, but come on, I am the supposed bride to be. But I guess it does make sense since the aim is not actaully to celebrate the almost newly wed but to make new connection and alliances. Strong allainces.I had a call with Ivan yesterday night and he made certain talk about making sure whatever we do, the other families must think this is a match made from love, not a marriage alliance. I asked why but he would not spill and I left it at that.Now, deciciding what to wear this this...party was a hard decision to make. Ivan's mother suggested I wear white or any other colour similar to white. I do not own any white dress proper enough for a engagement party. To cut it short I don't own any white dress. White is the color of innocence and I am far from being innocent this time.So, I had to go shopping yesterday and I did come back with a few options but looking at them now, I do not thi

    "Dad," I groaned as I out my phone to my ear, "you could have told me about the engagement party." I complained. Standing up from my chair, I grabbed my work laptop and then made my way out of my office since I was done for the day. "I was about to!" I heard his reply from over the phone, "I just did not want to spring it up on you like I did about the marriage." I sighed as I pressed the elevator button, the doors opening on command, "I guess that makes sense." I watched as the door to the elevator closed and then clicked the button for the lobby. "It does." I was quiet over the line as I watched the number from the elevator go down every few moments. "Are you still coming over for dinner like we talked about earlier?" He asks. "Yeah, on my way already. I was just leaving work." The elevator made a ding sound, followed by the opening of the doors and I then made my way out of it. I have the girl behind the counter in the lobby a smile before heading out of the building. "That'

  • METANOIA   Chapter sixteen

    I come out fresh out of the shower, a white towel wrapped around my body and another one wrapped on my head, to keep my wet hair from dripping around the floor. As I was about to start dressing up when my phone rang. I picked up my phone from my bed, checking the caller ID, Ivan. I sighed as I swiped my hands on the green answer button. "Hello?""I was thinking I should come pick you up from your dad's place and then we can go o the diner or wherever it is you feel comfortable." he suggested. "I have my own apartment now and there is no need for you to come pick me up. I am perfectly able to drive myself." I rolled my eyes, a frown marring my face as I put on my underwear.I heard him sigh over the phone, "you know that is not what I meant Idalia." There was a pause before he spoke up again, "you moved out?" he asked as if what I said earlier just clicked in his head.Or he's just trying to make a conversation. "Yes, I did." I replied to him as I walked towards my walk-in closet an
