It happened on the opening night of Apex. They were all there, my friends from school, trying to make me happy. Let's do something we would never do tonight. That is how I ended up here. Sofia and Lucie were such good friends. I just found out I was getting married a few hours ago. There were at least a hundred women in the club, most of them wearing tight short dresses “It's my party, my bachelorette party,” I clarified. “Yes, is there a problem,” Lucie yells. “No, but this is a mafia club,” I announced, thinking they weren't aware. “We are not twelve Lorena you have to learn to lose yourself to a night of passion, not that loser who drools over your sister” Sofia returns So my supposed fiance, Giulio Moravia, worships the ground my elder sister walks on; the family contract states that one of the Calvino daughters has to marry into the Moravia family, but it didn't state which daughter, but, My father placed so much value on my sister; he wasn't going to give her to just anyone. So, of course, I'm the sacrificial lamb. A thrill of excitement runs through me. I suddenly feel like I’m being watched, and the feeling persists. Sofia shouts “ I just saw a cute bartender, let's go take shots.” Immediately we got there she started flirting with him, typical Sofia. The conversation between us shifts from ex-boyfriends to Lucie talking about her latest crush, some guy she met online; I tuned it all out. My eyes move around the club quickly reviewing the random men searching for something or someone. “I'll be right back,” I tell Sophia There are a lot of people here. I keep pushing between bodies, trying to get to the restroom. I relieved myself and came back to join them for a toast. To us, we said, as we clink our glasses together, “Today's mafia princesses tomorrow's mafia queens” Sofia added. Alcohol spilling around our glasses. We find our way back to the dance floor, swaying our hips and laughing. For the first time in over one year, I feel lighter Then I spotted him over at the bar. An extremely hot man, an incredibly hot stranger, and he was coming my way; Sofia and Lucie were already far away at this point. A waiter approaches me on the dance floor “Miss” he says “the gentleman from that table has sent this for you” I didn't get a chance to react because a hand reached from behind me and thrust the drink back into the confused waiter’s chest. “She is already spoken for,” a deep voice barks above my head. I take a step towards him and the scent of seduction and citrus and I love the smell of citrus. Then he spoke “Ciao” That Italian accent was smooth and raspy; God, yes, and I stared. Hello, I greeted him, appearing smooth and sophisticated. Meanwhile, my heart pounded in my chest. Jesus Christ, this man had to be illegal. He looked way older than I am but he was so hot. “Celebrating,” he asked with gentle attention. “By the looks of it, whatever you are celebrating went well. I was quick to correct “No just a girls’ night” I rectified that if this man could take me away with him then I would have something to celebrate. ‘Get your act together, Lorie. You don't know who he is,’ my subconscious scolded me. However, we had some crazy chemistry that I did not need at this point in my life. At this point, it was official: I was attracted to him as if he were in my mind. His beautiful lips turned into a smile, and I was done for. “Lorie, we are off to the VIP floor. Are you good here or are you coming?” Lucie yelled. “Yeah I'll meet you there” l returned. I never moved my eyes from him for fear that he would disappear and I would miss my chance. I needed to see him for a while longer. A smile passed his lips, and his dimples had me blushing; he had a sharp jawline, looked rugged, and had a mouth for saying filthy things with a straight nose. My eyes roamed over him and found no single flaw. The navy suit made him look in charge. My eyes fell to his hands and found no rings because that was a line I would never cross. “Did I win your approval?” he said in that accent, sending shakes through my body. The Italian accent was turning me on “I haven't decided yet,” I replied, lying through. While other men in the club were looking at my body he was just staring at my face trying to read me. He hasn't asked for my name, and sincerely, that's better considering my life nowadays. The contract on my marriage was going to be signed tomorrow. My single days are already over so why don't I do something for myself? At Least get a taste of this sexy Italian. “Dance with me,” The deep timbre of his voice rolls over me. “Okay,” I answered, without thinking twice. His hands on my waist tighten as he demands my attention from my thoughts, pulling me closer to his hard chest. “I guess you're lucky today. I normally don't do this,” I smile, trying to hide how nervous I am; talking or flirting with men has never been a problem for me before, but I find it hard now. His hands move to the small of my back as a waiter passes with a tray of shots. I grabbed one because I was definitely going to need it. As we move to the dance floor I find a pair of eyes staring at me with anger from across the room.“Wasn't this guy on a date?” I said in my thoughts, narrowing my eyes. The last thing I need is a woman making a scene. God forbid she starts yelling in Italian; I won't even know how to respond. As the music starts, I get lost in it, rubbing my body against him like an animal in heat; he encourages me by kissing my neck and placing his hand on the small of my back; it's getting hot in here, and we lose ourselves. Next, he slams his mouth against mine and whispers, “I'll make it good for you.” Without a single doubt, I know it would be great. He pulled me towards an elevator, we went up, kissing like we wanted to devour each other. The elevator stops, and we are in a very cool penthouse. We enter a large bedroom, and he corners me against the wall with desire brimming all over my pores. “Wait a second,” I asked, pushing through my desire. “I don't even know your name,” I questioned. He ignored me. His body slammed against mine and our lips fused. He was so much taller than me that it felt like I’d been swallowed whole by him. My eyes rolled into the back of my head from the pleasure that shot through me. Stars exploded behind my eyelids, and I wrapped my hands around his neck, clutching the collar of his shirt and pulling him closer. Needing more of him. He lifted me into his arms and my legs wrapped around his waist. My heels fell against the hardwood floor with a thump. His fingers dug into my ass as I ground. You aren't wearing underwear?” I looked at him with a furrowed brow. “Does that matter right now?” “You’re right. It doesn’t,” he agreed. Stretching out on the bed, he pulled me with him “Sit on my face. Right now,” he ordered. “What?” He spanked my ass. “Last warning. Your pussy needs to be on my face.” he spanked my ass once more for emphasis. “Now.”ALESSANDRO 1 year laterOur home backyard was draped in silence, as we listened to the priest's words, blessing our baby girl. Our little Isabella Paola Moravia, named after my mother and Lorena's grandmother. Dark hair framed her little face, matching her big brother’s and mine. But it was her eyes that had everyone falling all over themselves. She had her mother’s beautiful eyes.My wife. I’d never get sick and tired of saying those two words. She cradled our daughter in her arms, her small body leaning against mine. I studied my wife’s rosy cheeks and dark hair strands flying with the light breeze.This woman was my beginning, my middle, and my end. She was my whole life. This family, blood and non-blood, was what this life was about.“You are staring at me,” she whispered under her breath, so only I could hear it.“You love when I watch you.”And her wide smile was my confirmation. I’d never tire of watching her soft smile and happiness on her beautiful face.The christening
LORENA My whole body jolted out of bed, my breathing labored. I struggled to catch my breath, my eyes darting around looking for anyone lurking in the dark.“Shhh. It’s okay; I’m here.” Alessandro’s voice penetrated through the fog and his face came into focus. “You need to rest.”He watched me with love, his hands gently wrapped around me. Am I dreaming?“Matteo?” I rasped out, my voice cracking. “Ella?”“Ella is safe; she’s with Massimo. Matteo’s safe,” he whispered. “I just checked on him. Our son is safe.”I blinked my eyes. Our son.“Roberto is dead, so are your father and mother. Matteo is safe; so are you.” He leaned forward and placed a kiss on my lips. “I love you, Lorena Moravia.” I love you too. But words refused to leave my mouth. So much has happened since we first met. So many ugly words and memories. My chest felt tight, like someone pressed on it with weights.As if he could read my thoughts, Alessandro reached out and took my hand into his.“Please, Ales ”He stop
ALESSANDRO It took us two fucking hours to get out of the damn city. I checked on my aunt and son, they were safe.“Bring her home, son.” My Zia loved Lorena as her own daughter. We have been family all along, but I was too blinded by rage to see it. Now I knew and I wanted to make it all better, enjoy the rest of my life with her. Have more babies, see Matteo grow up to be a good man. And he would, because he had his mother in him.“I’ll bring her home, Zia,” I promised. “Stay safe and inside with your grandson.” It still felt surreal. “Lorenzo will keep the compound safe. As soon as I have her, I’ll bring her home. She’ll want to see our son safe and happy.”And I’d make her happy. Like I was supposed to be making her happy from the moment we met.Once we got to the old Calvino beach house, I waited for our men to gather. It took another two hours for everything to be put in place. We surveyed the house, found the best angle for the attack and armed up to our teeth. We didn’t k
LORENA “I thought you were married already,” the words escaped me.“I have a mistress, but she won’t interfere.” He chuckled like he just said the most entertaining joke. “Your husband and son, on the other hand. We will have to take care of that.” Then he chuckled, displaying his yellow teeth. “Roberto will take care of that, won’t you?”I kept my face stoic. I couldn’t show any emotions to these people. I knew men like Santos Snr . They relished in destroying what people loved. Just like my mother. Just like my father.I have to kill Roberto. It finally made sense why I saw Roberto in my mom’s dressing room backstage alongside my father.My lips pressed tightly together, I held his gaze. He wanted to see me react. Well, he had another thing coming. I wished he’d hold his breath waiting for my reaction. My back stiff, I refused to even blink.He finally looked away, bored expression on his face as his eyes shifted to Ella.“Now what to do with your friend,” he pondered although the
LORENA My head throbbed with pain, but I ignored it. I couldn’t afford to show any weakness. These people would exploit it.Ella and I kept close to each other, her hand in mine. I refused to have us separated. No matter what. After we were adequately prepared for the auction, like we were some kind of animals, five guards surrounded us and ushered us back into the hallway. My heart thundered, recognizing every inch of it. But with five of them surrounding us, there was no room for escape. Even so, I refused to give up.The hallway here was dark. Ella’s and my heels clicked against the stone floor. My heartbeat was frantic, and I didn’t have to ask my best friend to know hers was too. I swallowed past the lump in my throat.Think about Matteo. Focus on opportunities to escape. Think about Matteo.The hallway ended and large stairs led to the floor below.“No matter what,” I uttered in a hushed voice, “don’t let go of my hand.”With a jerky nod, we slowly descended the stairs, our
ALESSANDRO I’ve watched hundreds of men die. Some I have killed, others were killed by my enemies. Some I remembered, others I didn’t. Some deserved it, others maybe not. But this one did, many times over.Calvino’s body laid at my feet, full of lead. Full of bullets. Some from my gun. Some from Massimo’s. And some from Nico’s.“You good?” Nico’s Russian accent was thick. Needless to say, this man wasn’t his favorite. He tried to get his dirty paws on another man's wife.Enzo and Luca still fought Calvino’s guards and as the shots of bullets flew through the air, the fear dug its claws into my heart. For the first time, I tasted fear of death.Fear for her.My wife.Lorena Moravia.It was an unfamiliar feeling but the pain was razor blade sharp. If Lorena died, the death would claim me too. Because she had taken a big piece of me.I raised my gaze off the dead body of the last Calvino male and watched Enzo aim a gun execution style at the last standing guard.I continued down the m
