Sienna

I walked in on one of my favorite coffee bars, tucked away in the corner of the street. It was one block away from my apartment and was always on my way to the ER. As soon as I pushed open the door, I felt like I was embraced warmly by the ambiance; the scent of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the faint sweetness of the pastries. The warm lights gave the cafe an ethereal and cozy glow.

I ordered my usual honey cinnamon latte and sat on the far right corner near the bookshelves. My shift was due to start at around 9 and I had 30 minutes to kill so picked up a book on Greek mythology from the shelf while I waited for my coffee. It was a kind of place where book lovers handed out their well-loved books for this cafe, where people can exchange their recommendations and get to explore new genres. This cafe has been running for a little under a decade hence the shelves increased to hold onto the new books.

The barista, Jamie, handed me my cup with a knowing smi

  • Sins of The Mafia   Chapter 18

    SiennaI wonder what they’re not telling me, I’ll have to ask Adrian. Aunt Gia got up when I entered the room, came towards me and gave me a hug. Her embrace was just like I had remembered, being engulfed by the warmest intentions. No sign of the conversation they were having earlier. “Look at you all grown up!” She said with a wide smile. Aunt Gia was pretty young, She was only 14 around the time I was born. She was more of a big sister back then before dad restricted her visiting. “You just saw me 2 years ago.” I laughed at her absurdness. It felt good being in her arms again after so long, reminding me of my childhood. “Let me tell the servants to set the table now that everyone’s here.” Mom said to no one in particular and left. “Well you’re different every time I see you, you can’t blame me.” She said as she pulled me to make me sit beside her on the couch. “Now tell me what’s going on. I visited in the morning when you weren’t here.” She cont

    SiennaThe next day when I was locking the door and leaving for work, behind me, Nico’s door opened and he stepped out. He was fumbling with his keys on the lock while keeping the phone balanced between his ear and shoulder as he was talking, clearly sounding irritated. “You had one job that was to get me the rat but now I will have to do that myself as well. I’ll cut that shit into little pieces and no one will stop me.” He hissed before ending the call. Did he work at the lab or something? Sounded like his coworkers didn’t do their job but cutting up the rat? That was new. I'll have to ask him explicitly what he does for a living next time. Was I right to trust him this easily? But he lives in this apartment complex so he’s probably safe. Remembering when I told Adrian I was moving out, he found me this complex. They do a full background check on anyone before letting them live here since many high profile people live in the building. He turned aro

    Lucien When I entered my penthouse, I saw Nico already sprawled over the couch playing some game on his phone, giving it his full attention. He glanced up as I entered, grunted to greet and went back to his game. I grabbed a glass of water and took a seat across from him as I snagged my tie off. I hate wearing these things. I had a meeting with other heads who worked beneath me. I have to show I’m responsible with my whole body so they can respect me. This is where I went different from my fathers approach. Where he only commanded fear, I commanded fear and respect both. “Anything happened that I should know about?” I asked Nico while taking a sip of water, trying to keep my eagerness hidden. “Huh? Oh yeah, gimme a minute, gotta finish this leve-” I reached out and ripped the phone from his hand as my patience is very limited. A part of me wanted to rip his neck instead. “Hey!” He protested as I threw his phone on the other end of the couch. He sighed in defeat be

    Sienna“What are you doing here? Are you seriously stalking me now?” I spat out. I can’t have one place where I could be just me and not have a reminder of what family I belonged to. “You’re great at jumping to assumptions, I see.” He said with a slight smirk before adding, “You should ask around to see why I’m here.” He finished before turning towards me and eyeing me. “You look tired, you should go home and get some sleep.” He said nonchalantly and walked away. He said what?! What is wrong with him?! I was left speechless. How dare he call me tired! That definitely meant I didn’t look nice right? Before I could reply, he chuckled lowly- probably at my flustered reaction, he turned and left the area. I didn’t dare call after him, knowing there was nothing good coming out of this conversation. I saw Mia walking ahead and quickly called her out. Mia worked as the organiser here, I was pretty good friends with her too. “Oh

    Sienna“So what apartment are you staying in?” I asked Nico as I set the last utensil on the table, we were sitting on my dining table. Having the food we brought along with Chinese that Nico ordered for himself. It was probably a bad combo but we didn’t care. Although the aroma around was quite appetizing, considering our stomachs were caving in. “Actually…I’m right across from you.” He said sheepishly scratching his neck.“Huh, we’re literally neighbours and I'm meeting you just now?!” I exclaimed, it wasn’t that I did not meet him sooner, it was just that i never saw him on this floor- usually during the times i was leaving for work. This seemed kind of odd but I brushed it off. Staying with Adrian has made me paranoid at everything.“Ah yes, well I'm usually not around and when I am, I'm setting the apartment up,” he replied as he stuffed his mouth with a too hot dumpling, immediately wincing but still chewing through the pain. And tears. “Oh, I do see you during the mo

    SiennaAs soon as I reached, everyone seemed to be in a hurry, which was not a new view but there was an air of panic. Something was wrong. A big accident had happened. A nurse yelled, “He’s crashing!”. I immediately dropped my belongings off to the side to rush in, “Start chest compressions!” A couple groans could be heard from around the area as the patients were brought in. I felt a little disorientated but that immediately cleared away because I'm better at concentration under pressure. “We need epi- stat!” The nurse handed the syringe to the doctor while the heart monitor was flat lining. I set up the defibrillator, “charging- 200 joules” and after that everything was a blur of more commands and resuscitation but the patient collapsed. This was the most devastating part of my job, to not be able to rescue people on time. After eight hours of constant running and tending, I sat down- more like practically crumpling on the seat. A moment later Ava slumped on the seat beside me

    LucianSienna moved into her apartment last week, it gave me enough time to make things worse in London for Adrian. He won’t be coming back for a while after I dumped everything on him. I bought the apartment right across from Sienna. But after our first official meeting, I don't think she's dumb enough to fall for my tricks right away. She’ll definitely know something's up if I move in across from her. I was in the middle of thinking, when an idea struck me. I called Nico up to my office. “Sup boss, why are you still here? Don’t you have dinner with Valerie.” Nico asked as he leaned on the door while crossing his arms. “I’ll be leaving soon, I have a job for you to do.” At which he perked up. “A job? Who do I have to kill?” Nico asked, grinning. He was always eager to go on these kinds of jobs, however today he might be disappointed. “It’s a different type of job.” I try to reason, knowing there might be a chance he’d shut this idea down. I hate

    Sienna“No way! That’s such an asshole move.” Ava screeched, forcing me to move the cell phone away from my ear for a bit. She called me as soon as I returned home demanding to know how my night went. So here I was recalling what Lucian did. “Exactly! I wanted that painting so bad but I wasn’t going to let Adrian waste unnecessary money on it.” I was lying on my bed, stomach down. With a pile of clothes around me. I was starting to pack them, getting ready to go back to my apartment. “What did he look like?” Ava asked, curiosity getting the better of her. “What does that have to do with this?” I replied, tried to brush it off “You know it depends if he has this much money to throw around he better be nice looking. So spill.” I felt my cheeks flush, remembering Lucians smile. “He’s alright to look at.” That’s all I could tell her, trying to downplay it. I tried to change the subject. “I’m moving back to my apartment tomorrow. You wanna help out?” I
