ELENA

My eyes widened as I saw Papà. He was leisurely standing at the doorway.

“Damn it”. I muttered. I had forgotten to close the door.

“What do you mean you’re pregnant?”. He repeated again. This time his voice was harsher than the first.

I quickly stood up from Alessia’s bed,I looked at the floor, unwilling to meet his cold gaze. I thought hard on what to say, but I couldn’t come up with anything.

“It’s just an assumption”. I replied under my breath.

“Is this true?”. Papá faced Alessia who was out of the bed. Her eyes, devoid of any sleep.

I gave her a subtle sign not to say anything.

“I am not sure Papà. I am just hearing this for the first time too”. She replied smoothly.

Before Papá could respond, mamma rushed into the room.

“What’s all the noise for?. She asked no one in particular.

“You should ask your daughter”. Papà scoffed. His eyes boring holes in my body.

“Elena, what’s going on?”. I looked around, everyone was staring at me, expecting me to talk.

“She’s pregnant”. Pap

  • THE MAFIA’s BROKEN BRIDE   CHAPTER 37—PREPARING FOR YOU

    ELENAThe morning sunlight leaked through the curtains. I slowly opened my eyes and stretched my body. My limbs felt heavy but not in a painful way, just tired. Sitting up, I exhaled and reached for my phone in my nightstand. I needed to go visit the hospital. After yesterday, I wanted to make sure everything is fine. I texted Alessia.Me: Can you come with me to the hospital today? I wanted to my antenatal check-up.Alessia: Of Course. I will be there in an hour. I placed the phone back down and dragged myself to the bathroom. The bathwater scent a reminder of last night. The memory of Alessandro’s hand on me, gentle. Soft. I shoved the thoughts down. I showered and got dressed in a loose beige gown. My hair was packed in a ponytail. I made my way downstairs where one of the staff handed me my breakfast. “Thank you,” I said and sat down to eat. I barely finished it before Alessia arrived, her dark sunglasses and blunt red bob making her look as intimidating as she is.“You look

  • THE MAFIA’s BROKEN BRIDE   CHAPTER 36–RESURFACED PAST

    ALESSANDRO I wasn’t supposed to feel this way. Not while I stripped her clothes, Not while I wrung the washcloth and brushed it over her arms, her legs, her back. Not while she sat there, limp from exhaustion, staring at me like she couldn’t understand the man in front of her.Hell, I didn’t recognize myself too.I rinsed the cloth again, jaw clenched tight, focusing on the slow rhythm of cleaning her skin. Her breathing had steadied, but her eyes stayed on me, wide and confused.Good. She should be confused. I was too.This wasn’t love. It was possession. Rage. My head was filled with images of her and Alex. I knew Alex was going to be an issue, I just didn’t know it was this soon. How were they coincidentally in the same place? Was it a planned meet up? What were they talking about that had her all giggling?If it wasn’t for public decency, I would have dealt with him right there. I hated that I noticed how delicate her skin feels under my touch. She was the daughter of my enem

    ELENAThe hotel room felt colder than it had before. “Ten minutes,” Alessandro said from the doorway, his hands holding his door open. “Don’t make me come back for you.” He didn’t wait for a response. The door clicked shut behind him, I stood there for a second longer, heart pounding. I clenched my fist in anger but still, I packed. Fast.I had no time to arrange them. Shoes, clothes, make ups. everything was shoved inside my bag. By the time I was done, I heard the elevator chimed. He must be out. I gave the room a last glance making sure I wasn’t forgetting anything. Before opening the door and leaving.I came and stood beside me as we waited for the elevator. He stretched his hands for my bag and I handed it over to him.The car was outside, waiting.We didn’t speak on the ride to the airstrip. On the jet, everything reeked of him. Leather seats, expensive cologne.I tried not to look at him. Failed.He was staring out the window, jaw tight, fingers tapping against his armrest

    ELENAI closed the door behind me and leaned against it. My racing heart slowly calms down. I went to my room, changed into my nighties and went to the living room.I was painfully aware he was on the other side of the wall, not knowing if he was alone was killing me. I tried to listen, if I could pick up any sounds but I couldn’t hear a thing. I gave up and went to my room to sleep.The next morning, I got up to get ready for the event. I wore corporate pants and a buttoned up shirt. My hair was neatly packed up. I went in with mascara and lipstick. Nothing too much. I wanted to appear as professional as possible.A taxi was outside, waiting. I got in and gave him directions to the gallery.The gallery had an understated elegance. clean white walls, gentle spotlights and a quiet hum of conversation drifted through the space. I stepped inside, signing my name on the registration form with a steady hand. though my heart was racing a little.This was it. The first step to my independ

  • THE MAFIA’s BROKEN BRIDE   CHAPTER 33–THE LINE BETWEEN US

    ELENAThe text from Alessandro had disorientated my thoughts. I contemplated if I should answer it or just ignore it. I knew ignoring him was playing with fire but I did anyway.I was suddenly in the mood for a drink, so I got dressed in a casual gown. Nothing too much for a late night drink.I got to the bar, found a seclusive spot and sat down. My drink came seconds later and I sipped while looking around the bar.I had intentionally left my phone, I didn’t know what I was going to do if he had texted me again. “Is this seat taken?” A voice said behind me.I inwardly sighed. I just wanted to be on my own.I turned towards him, a smile plastered on my face. “Alex!” I stared at him, shocked to see him here. How is he here?“Hi, Elena. You can imagine my surprise, seeing you here, all alone.”“If I didn’t know better, I would say you’re stalking me,” I chuckled, but it wasn’t funny. There’s only so many ‘coincidences’ one can believe.“You beat me to it,” he said, half smiling. “ I w

    ALESSANDRO “Can’t this car move any faster?” I snapped at my driver, irritation gnawing at my skin.“Sorry sir, traffic is back.”Elena was testing me and I will make sure she gets what she's looking for. I checked my wrist watch for the thousandth time. I knew she was in New York, I just didn’t know where she was in particular. She had taken one of my credit cards with her. Smart girl. I was wondering how she was going to get by. The car finally pulled into the airport and I almost sprinted out of the car. My driver ran after me with my luggage in hand, he handed them over to the air hostess. “Let’s go,” I muttered and got into the Jet.I checked her social media to see if I could get a hint on where she was, but nothing. What was I expecting, she wasn’t a social media kind of girl.I had first gone to her house. If anyone should know where she is, it was her sister. But Alessia was stubborn. She had insisted she had no idea of her sister’s whereabouts, but I knew she was lying
