Mr. Mafia COME INSIDE ME Chapter 7
We were both silent, yet it wasn't oppressive or uncomfortable. His presence was almost soothing, like a warm blanket wrapped over me. I shifted in my leather seat as the proximity of Rolly Exruto made me feel unbalanced. Was there something wrong with me for being so taken with a man I'd just recently met? I cast a glance in his direction, but he was absorbed in his work, his gaze fixed on the road, the dashboard lights highlighting his imposing features. I wouldn't call him conventionally attractive, and I couldn't see him striding down the catwalk showcasing the latest fashion. He had a ruthless and ferocious demeanor. Rolly Exruto Guevara has a menacing aura about him. A scavenger. He was just like that. "I hope you appreciate true Italian," he remarked finally, jolting me out of my reverie. "I know a fantastic tiny Italian restaurant with a great ambience that I think you'll appreciate." He gave me a smoldering look as he cut a peek at me. My body had begun to chill slightly,

"Lord Rolly! " “You need the company of a lady in your life.” And heirs, a lot of them. “ Every time I came over for Sunday supper, my mother’s statements seemed to repeat themselves. “Do I need one? I sat back and glanced at my younger brother,Xee, as I reached across the table for the bottle of red wine and poured myself a liberal quantity. Naturally, the little jerk smirked, but he refused to look me in the eyes. “Perhaps you should encourage Xee to find someone, Mom,” I said as I sipped from my wine glass. “You need a wife and an heir as Underboss.” She took a long drink from her own glass. My mom dared to say such things to me. My given name, Rolly Exruto Guevara,my mom used to call me Dong and was powerful enough to arouse terror in anybody who heard it. Everyone else was terrified that I would slit their neck while they slept. Of course, they’re incorrect. I slashed it while they were still awake and glared them down. “Besides, your younger brother isn’t old enough.”

Lara’s POV I’d never imagined myself as a matchmaker. It wasn’t that there was anything wrong with it, but I’d always believed in real love, and the cynic in me couldn’t understand how it could be possible when you were matched with someone by a firm. I recognized the significance of working hard for what you desired as the daughter of middle-class parents. My parents were high school sweethearts who fell in love when they were young and stayed together despite their youth. My mother then became pregnant while still a teenager. I’d seen and heard how hard they had to work simply to feed their families. But they triumphed, and knowing what genuine love could accomplish made me even more dubious. Perhaps it was because I was unmarried and unhappy with my situation. Maybe it was simply envy as I saw all these beautiful ladies and wealthy guys find happiness. And while working for a firm that specialized in that demographic, I witnessed that every day. My own convictions about what

Rolly pushed open the main door and entered. The heat of US surged into the air-conditioned inside, causing beads of perspiration to form on my temples almost instantly. Perhaps it had nothing to do with the heat and everything to do with the man approaching me with intent.I had to tilt my head back to retain my focus on his face as I watched him move. I saw my eyes were wide and my lips were apart as he came to a halt a foot from the front desk. I looked like some kind of star-struck knucklehead. At least, that’s how I felt.I blinked back to reality and focused on being professional because I was the only one in the front office at the time. “Hello,” I said quietly. His mouth curved as though he was trying to hide his smile. “I’m sorry,” I repeated loudly after clearing my throat. “Thank you for visiting Clover.” I only knew his first name from hearing it from others, and I didn’t want to address him as such. “How may I assist you?”I was captivated to the look of his hand, to the

I really should’ve paid attention.However, I found myself licking my lips and not seeing how he dropped his gaze to observe the deed. He made me feel desirable and attractive as I had never felt before.Growing up, I was never a shy girl. I was a self-assured lady who felt comfortable in my own skin. By society’s standards, I had never been considered slim or sleek. But it didn’t bother me, and it had no bearing on how I viewed myself. Because I had fantastic parents who always reminded me of my value, told me how much respect I deserved, and how I’d grown into someone special in that particular person’s eyes, I knew I didn’t have to compromise.I wouldn’t be with Rolly, for example.He stared at me as if I were the only thing that could satisfy his hunger.I should’ve probably paid attention to those warning signs and declined because he was far too arrogant for me. I did not, though.Instead, I felt strong, liberated, and womanly. The more he looked at me, the more lovely and entic

I sighed and shook my head, but even the noise I made seemed forced, as if I was attempting to drive away what was directly in front of me. It was difficult to refute this reality. An unprogrammed number flashed on the screen of my cellphone on the coffee table. But I didn’t need my caller ID to figure out who it was from. When Exruto gave it to me, I had it almost memorized. I sat there gazing at the phone for a few moments, telling myself to let it go to voicemail. But I found myself reaching for it, pressing Accept, holding the phone up to my ear, and asking, “Hello.” Despite my exhaustion, and despite the fact that the truth was screaming in my face, I simply gazed at my now-closed laptop. I had no intention of declining Rolly Exruto’s offer. That, more than anything else, terrified me. Rolly had approached the Clover office three days prior and asked me out. I spent three days contemplating what I’d discovered about him on the internet. I felt on what I should do but not w
