Onenight with the Mafia 77
The rest of the morning passed like a dream Maxine hadn't planned for.Thomas insisted on taking them around the city, and somehow she found herself agreeing without much protest. Perhaps it was because Noah was excited beyond words, or perhaps because Paris had softened her heart enough to let her forget her fears for a while.They first visited the museum Maxine had wanted to see ever since she booked this trip.The Louvre.The glass pyramid gleamed beneath the pale morning sky, and Noah tilted his head so far back that he almost lost his balance."It's huge!" he exclaimed.Thomas caught him by the shoulders. "Careful."Maxine smiled watching them.Inside, Noah quickly grew bored of paintings and sculptures, but Maxine didn't.She wandered through the galleries in awe. Ancient Greek statues. Massive oil paintings depicting wars and kings.Portraits so lifelike they looked as if they would blink at any moment.Thomas followed beside her patiently."You like paintings?" he asked."I d

The next morning, Maxine woke up to the faint sound of rain tapping against the hotel windows.For a few blissful seconds, she forgot where she was.Then she saw the unfamiliar ceiling above her, the soft cream-colored curtains swaying with the breeze, and the Eiffel Tower peeking through the glass doors leading to the balcony. Paris.A smile slowly appeared on her face.Then, like a stubborn memory refusing to leave her alone, Thomas.She sat upright on the bed.Last night. His call.I'm in Paris too.Maxine groaned softly and covered her face with her hands.Why was he here?More importantly, why was she nervous about meeting him?She wasn't supposed to care.She had spent months convincing herself that Thomas was dangerous, unreliable, and someone she should keep away from.And yet... the moment she remembered his voice from yesterday, her heartbeat became slightly irregular.Annoying. Very annoying.She reached for her phone on the bedside table. No missed calls. But there was a m

Maxine had expected Paris to be beautiful. She hadn't expected it to feel this liberating.The small restaurant they chose for dinner was tucked away in a quiet street lined with yellow lights and flower boxes. The place smelled of butter, freshly baked bread, and roasted garlic. Maxine couldn't pronounce half the items on the menu, so she simply pointed at dishes the waiter recommended.Noah was fascinated by everything."Mommy, why is the bread so hard?""That's how it's supposed to be."The food arrived soon after.Warm onion soup.Pasta for Noah.A steak with mashed potatoes for her.And for dessert, the best chocolate pastry Maxine had ever tasted.She closed her eyes after the first bite."Oh my God."Noah looked offended."You said not to say God loudly.""This is an exception.""It isn't.""It absolutely is."He giggled. For a moment, Maxine forgot everything else.Forgot the sleepless nights.Forgot the fear.Forgot Thomas.Forgot all the choices she had to make.Tonight, she
Onenight with the Mafia 74
For the first time in years, Maxine felt as though she had something entirely for herself.Days passed one after another, and somewhere between work, taking care of Noah, and pretending that Thomas's absence didn't affect her, she made an impulsive decision.She was going to Paris.Frank's bonus sat untouched in her bank account for weeks. At first, she thought about saving it. Then she considered setting up a small studio for herself. But every option felt too practical, too ordinary.Then one evening, while scrolling through photographs online, she saw a picture of the Eiffel Tower glowing beneath a midnight sky.And something inside her whispered, Why not?She had always wanted to visit Paris.Not because she was a hopeless romantic. Not because she dreamed of finding love there.She simply wanted to stand in a city that had produced generations of artists and architects and painters and dreamers.She wanted to see beauty.So she booked the tickets.Her parents refused to come."We

The house gradually fell silent after Noah drifted to sleep. The rain that had raged for hours softened into a gentle drizzle, tapping lazily against the windows. Maxine tucked the blanket around her son one last time, brushing away the curls that fell over his forehead.Noah had insisted that Uncle Thomas stay until he fell asleep.Thomas had sat by his bedside, telling him nonsense stories about dragons who hated vegetables and pirates who got seasick.And Noah had laughed until his eyes closed.Maxine stood there for a moment, looking at the two of them.Thomas sat quietly now, staring at Noah's sleeping face.There was something lonely in his expression.Like he was memorizing this moment.As if he feared he might never get another chance.Maxine looked away."Come," she whispered.Thomas nodded and followed her.They returned to her room.The room smelled faintly of coffee and paint.The unfinished canvases leaned against the walls. Books were piled carelessly on the desk.The po

Maxine led Thomas upstairs while Noah bounced beside him, chattering endlessly."Uncle Thomas, come quickly! I want to show you my room!"Thomas laughed softly. "Alright, alright. Slow down, kid."The little boy grabbed his hand and pulled him inside.Maxine stood at the doorway for a second, watching them.Every time Noah called him Uncle Thomas, something twisted painfully inside her.She had insisted on it.She had convinced herself it was for Noah's sake. But now, looking at them standing side by side, she wasn't so sure. Thomas smiled at Noah as he showed off his tiny collection of toy cars.And Noah... Noah looked at Thomas with so much admiration.Maxine lowered her gaze. She could tell him the truth right now.She could kneel in front of Noah and say This is your father. But she couldn't. Because Noah would ask questions.Why didn't he stay? Where was he all these years? Will he live with us now? And she had no answers.Because Thomas himself didn't know whether he would be al
Onenight with the Mafia 46
Maxine took a deep breath as she tightened her grip on Noah’s small hand. The moment felt strangely heavier than she had expected. It had been nearly a month since she last saw Thomas—or rather, since she last saw Damien, as she sometimes caught herself thinking of him. She had tried not to. Tried
Onenight with the Mafia 45
Maxine knew she couldn’t keep it from her parents any longer. The guilt had been gnawing at her for days, sitting like a heavy stone in her chest every time her mother asked about Noah’s school or his new routine. She was tired of lying by omission, tired of holding back the truth that had been bur
Onenight with the Mafia 44
Maxine sat in her car for a full five minutes before she finally forced herself to step out. The message from Frank had been brief—Come to my office, we need to talk—but the weight of it had stayed with her all night. Frank Wright was not a man who wasted words, and when he said something was impor
Onenight with the Mafia 43
Maxine sat in the driver’s seat, staring at the road ahead with both hands clenched tightly on the steering wheel. Her knuckles had gone pale, but she barely noticed. Her heart had been heavy all morning, weighed down by the thought of what she was about to do. Noah, sitting in the back seat, swung
