Chapter 28-36
“Don’t make me come there, Vassily. War will arise if you do not listen to me.” Cara dared.
Vassily only gritted his teeth at my sister’s blatant response.
Vassily then chuckled. “Don’t make me laugh, Cara. You risk for war because of Angelo’s idiotic choices.”
“Whatever makes my brother happy, I will support it. Even if I break our alliance. Sol is my blood. That’s all that matters.”
He closes his eyes in frustration and looks away.
“I better hear news that you’re going home tomorrow.” The line went d
Dante“You know Vassily’s not the only one who’s going to trouble you.”I sighed while rubbing my face with an open palm. “I know.”“Nonetheless, he’s right. Sol is a name either they fear or adore and they will find the one who owns it. I don’t think you don’t know what happens after that.”“I know.” I mused. “You can’t stay here, Leo. I can’t let you drag down with me. Just because I quit doesn’t mean you have to.”He snorts in response. It held sarcasm and amusement at the same time. “What the hell are you saying, Angelo? Just b
Hailynn“For the millionth time, amore, no.”“Dante-”“No. No means no. For God’s sake, amore, you’re almost eight months along. You can hardly work on your own.”“That’s why you’re going with me.” I insisted.“No.” He answered flatly.I gave him a pout and my famous puppy dog eyes that I realized during my pregnancy that it works against him. I can get whatever I want with these eyes.“Oh, no. Don’t give me that look. It’s n
My ears perked up as my heated gaze burned towards Hailynn’s direction. I unconsciously strode towards her direction.“Hey, hey. Give her some privacy, will ya. She’s speaking to her family.” Leo said as he stopped me by grabbing my arm.“Oh, please.” I shake off his hand. “Her parents are mine as well.” I resisted a grin while trying so hard to get mad at amore mio.Why the hell does she always make me feel this way? Make me mad and then fall in love with her even more right after.He smiled while shaking his head. “Is this the time where Americans would usually say ‘you’re whipped’?”
HailynnAmy and Zoey burst into the door, squealing their lungs out as they approached me.“Oh my god! I can’t believe you have twin boys, Hailynn!” Amy exclaimed as she went straight to my baby which I held in my arms. The other twin was carried by Dante who stood just beside me.I just had labor hours ago. It was Leo’s girlfriend, Veda, who helped me as I popped out the twins. Actually, she’s still not Leo’s girlfriend. I just say it cause it embarrasses Leo. Also, the beautiful doctor was letting me tease our handsome Leo.I felt refreshed when I slept right after. As soon as I woke up, Dante let me hold the baby as he carried the other one lovingly. H
Ever since my cousin gave up the mafia and chose to live peacefully with his new family, I made sure no one dared to harm them. Sol was the face of our mafia although ironically, he was careful not to let anyone be familiar with his face. He was a prudent man. As much as he could, he wanted to avoid war or anything that would bring harm to the family. He was more like my padre who chose peace and order rather than conflict among mafias. However, that wasn’t enough to avoid greed and envy from others. In the end, he still managed to attract enemies. Our name and reputation was no different than royalty in our world. Just an utter of our name, people no doubt will know. When he stepped down, I had to do things differently- aside from the fact that I do handle things differently. In order to divert his enemies, I had to show my face and claim his name. I have enjoyed eliminating them one by one, especially those who do not appreciate my friendly offer. Things have been quiet after th
“Hey, man. You need to hear this.” Miles comically dashed his way towards our cubicle in haste. He just came from the pantry which was the center of gossip since they usually gather there to talk. Like a gossip girl, he always reports to me about news, updates and even rumors circulating in the company. He was always updated with the latest gossip. He’s also very close to the girls in the office. They love him because he’s funny and always has something to talk about. “You won’t like what I'm about to say.” He said as soon as he sat on his chair, dragging it closer to me. I had to stop my work for a moment. He had a habit of making me listen to him. “What?” I asked as I turned to him. “The director came here and talked to Hudson.” Hudson was our manager. “You won’t believe what he did- actually, you’ll believe it because of course, the guy is an asshole. I mean continuing on, they talked and the director was impressed with the latest website and app ‘you’ made. He was so happy a
I instinctively stepped back the moment she moved to put down her legs and rose. There’s something about this woman that doesn't sit well with me. Her aura was dark and dangerous. The darkness of the room only added to that. She stepped out behind the desk and took careful steps towards me. Once she was halfway towards me, I could see her more clearly now. She was wearing an all white business suit. One that perfectly fitted her. Her long dark hair was up in a ponytail. She was very tall. A few inches taller than me. My back hit the wall as soon as she reached before me. She didn’t need to push me with her own hands. Her presence alone pressured me to push back. I couldn’t believe that there was a woman taller than me. I was already tall, over six feet. And the height she possessed added more to her menacing aura. “I believe you have something that belonged to me.” She spoke in a way that was calm yet firm and intimidating. “I...I-I… don’t know what you mean.” She snorted
Cara It had been three years since the last time I talked with my cousin. We had a silent agreement that it will be the last. It was the day he renounced his position as the don of our family. He gave it back to me because he thought I was none other than the rightful heir. My father was the don before him and even though I was his only child and his real heir, he gave it to Sol instead, his brother’s son. He reasoned that he didn’t want me to inherit it because I was his only daughter and he didn’t want anything bad to happen to me the same thing that happened to his brother and his wife. And the fact that I was the only female born in the entire family, that includes the Ranallos. Our family was dominated by males. It was a given that I was treated like a princess by everyone. Being in the mafia, your life is always at risk and you are bound to have an unexpected death, especially when you're the face of the family. He didn’t want that for me. And though he denied me the posit
