I took a deep breath and walked downstairs. I genuinely hoped, that Raven Blackwood had already left. Although I knew, it was a false hope. I didn’t want to see him. Especially, when I was just leaving Las Vegas in less than two hours time.

I had just walked to the last stair of the staircase, when I heard my Papa’s voice. His voice sounded tired. Apparently, he had been again working tirelessly since yesterday morning. I smiled, and hugged him. I didn’t want to leave him all alone, especially when I was his only daughter, and only relative.

Mama had already left the world when I was a child, and he never married again. He didn’t even date again. He loved Mama so much. I felt warmth rushing to the corners of my eyes. “Papa..” My voice broke. “I will miss you.”

Papa patted my head gently. “I will miss you too Val.”

We hugged for a while, and when we heard footsteps from behind him.

Papa turned away to see Raven Blackwood standing tall, and handsome, dressed in his usual, navy blue sui

  • Mafia's Forbidden Desires   And right now? I was his target!

    A week passed. I didn’t hear from Raven. I was glad about it. But happiness didn’t last long, as here he was standing right in front of me, looking calm and unbothered, exuding the very darkness I felt enveloping my life. I felt suffocation. My heart pounded in my chest, matching the fury in my eyes as I glared at him.“I am not marrying you, Raven.” I spat, my voice thick with defiance. I would marry anyone but him. He was not even in my last option for heaven’s sake.Raven remained unfazed as he tilted his head slightly, his dark grey eyes watching me, and his lips curved up into a mocking smile. “Sweetheart, you don’t have a choice here.”I heard his tone, almost patronizing, like he was talking to a child who was throwing tantrums, all for nothing. My eyes burned with rage at his audacity to treat me like a child, and to even think he had the right to marry me. “Why the hell won’t you just leave me alone?” My voice broke. “What do I have to do to get you out of my life?”Raven too

  • Mafia's Forbidden Desires   Alessandro Romano would know every inch of my revenge

    Raven Blackwood’s POV:At night. I got a call from Jeremy. Valerie again visited the bar.Rage filled my body. I stood up, took my car keys, and drove towards the location Jeremy had sent me a minute ago.A short while later, I arrived at the bar. The place looked rather lousy, and the air smelled of cheap quality and mold. Several drunk men were acting like clowns here and there.I directly walked inside where Valerie was sitting. Then I paused.She was sitting in the corner booth, heavily drunk. And a man I recognised with brown eyes and a tall frame. Alessandro Romano, the son of Victor Romano. He was leaning all over her, and she was trying to push him off, but clearly failing, due to her low physical strength and heavy drunkenness. Then he took another step, right in front of me. The fucking audacity of his to touch My Wife right in front of me.My fists clenched as I saw he didn’t stop. He didn’t even care.I stormed forward, my boots heavy against the wooden floor. Alessandro d

  • Mafia's Forbidden Desires   Why the hell would you want to marry me?

    Later that night…Rowan arrived on time he promised. Sitting right in front of me made me feel like I was still in school, and he was my teacher. I didn’t want to get nervous, but his aura screamed danger.“What did you want to talk about?” he asked.I looked up at him from my food, and suddenly felt my throat getting tight.“I am waiting.” Rowan continued.“Well…” I clenched my fist as I forced myself to open my mouth and talk to him. “I need help.”“Help?” Rowan asked. His hands paused on his cutlery.I nodded my head a little furiously. “Yes… It's like…” I explained what had happened in the last month. The more I spoke, the more Rowan’s expression turned ugly, making me bite my tongue and lose my composure.After I was done, what followed was silence.Rowan remained silent, and his eyes remained on me, like he was planning to kill me next second. But he wouldn’t. I knew that. Rowan wouldn’t kill the people he worked with, not without purpose or betrayal. And I didn’t betray Rowan.

  • Mafia's Forbidden Desires   You already dragged me through hell

    “Look at me,” his voice echoed in my ears clearly. “Valerie.” He shook my body, called my name again and again.I tried to blink, to open my mouth. But nothing happened. My body couldn’t react. I felt fear rush through my bones. What was happening to me? Was it fear? Panic? Or was I losing control over my senses?Raven let go of me. I felt the gravity pulling me towards it. But before I could touch the ground, Raven picked me.He walked to the bathroom in no time and turned the shower on.Cold water hit my skin, making me feel currents and goosebumps. Blood rushed to my brain, and my fingers twitched. A loud sigh escaped my lips. “Raven.”I managed to speak, to utter a word. Though it was his name, it didn’t matter. All that mattered was that I spoke. I was finally able to speak. I was able to react.“Valerie.” He held me in his hands, calling me again and again.I shook his grip on my arms and tried to take a step back. “What the hell are you shouting for?”Raven paused, taking a goo

  • Mafia's Forbidden Desires   It was like he put a spell on me, and I couldn’t say a word

    Raven Blackwood POV:A few days passed.The plan I set was already working. Valerie was losing deals. Almost every deal. And the reason was me.I looked at the wedding contract on my desk, which looked all set and ready for My Wife. I looked at the time on my watch and stood up. It was only a week left for Elvis to return. And tomorrow I was going to marry the woman I was obsessed with.The streets were filled with traffic, and I felt my patience wearing thin. How I wish I rather taken a helicopter rather than this Aston Martin? But I was already halfway, so I could just endure.I finally reached the Thorne Residence. The security guard opened the door the moment he saw me. Everyone here knew who I was, and they knew better than to waste my time.As I stepped inside the residence, I adjusted the cuffs of my shirt. My reflection stared back at me in the metal walls. I had waited too long for this day. Valerie could hate me all she wanted. It didn’t matter. After tomorrow, she would be

  • Mafia's Forbidden Desires   I shouldn’t have done it, but I did it anyway!

    Raven Blackwood’s POV:I shouldn’t have done it, but I did it anyway!Burning the warehouse wasn’t in my plans, but I did it anyway. It was her first victory, Against Me. I should have protected it, but I ruined it, Myself.I watched the fire and ashes burning to the ground. Smoke cam thick, and flames rose higher. It was both beautiful and cruel in a way. It was her punishment, her warning, from me! And she would understand it sooner or later.I leaned back in my chair, still watching the video on my phone, satisfied. People were running, shouting.Then, I imagined her face, shocked and angry. She was too proud to cry in front of anyone. But I knew her. I had studied her since the moment she walked into my world, wearing her father's name like a crown she hadn’t earned yet.She was bold, smart and ambitious. But still too soft inside. And softness? Softness gets you killed in our world.I lit a cigarette and looked out of my office window. The city was quiet tonight. But it was never
