Tangled With The Mafia Kingย ย ย Good girl
CarrieI wonโt lie, I am greatly shocked.As I hurriedly got up and walked toward the man I never thought I would see again, I began to reminisce about the way our relationship ended.Kante was one of the men I intentionally dated and one of the men I truly liked. But when he suddenly had to move to Italy, especially when he proposed a long-distance relationship, we had to halt the whole thing.But to think that Iโd meet him againโฆโCarrieโฆโ His tender voice was still there, and so were his beautiful arm tattoos that were a delightful design of lines in different forms. Kante stretched his hands to hold mine and I let him. When our palms came in contact, I felt relief in my system and for once since my life became haggard, it felt as though I could finally relax.Then, he said, โI thought I was dreaming when I heard Alessandro mention your name. I thought you were someone else, so I didnโt want to check. Butโฆโ He used our contact to pull me closer and we were soon engulfed in a deep e

AlessandroAs though I had just said something extremely out of place, the woman in front of me froze and refused to give me a response. That was not the reaction I expected.Even though I was going to wait until the end of the twenty-four-hour timer I gave her, I became suspicious of the number of minutes Kante was spending in Miss Edwardsโs room. Kante truly has a woman he is currently seeing, but that wonโt stop him from hitting on Miss Edwards. Unlike me, he is natural with ladies and doesnโt turn away anyone who catches his attention.Thatโs why I hurriedly rushed to my late motherโs untouched room and grabbed the ring she passed down to me after she got tired of mourning my fatherโs demise.โMiss Edwards?โ I called the woman who was still mute and wide-eyed. โSay something.โโIโฆโโIf you say noโฆโ My head tilted to the side and I noted how wrinkled the side of her eyes became while she tried to evade my gaze. โ... that will be a wrong answer.โโI canโt say no?โโWhy would you say

CarrieIs this man aware that he is hurting me? Does he know that his touch is causing my wrist and my soul to suffer a pain I have never felt?The harshness I heard in his voice as he demanded a response from me managed to rip apart the little courage I had managed to build. When he was in the room earlier, the way he asked me to marry him caused me to fall into so much confusion that I decided to train myself to not give in to his request no matter what.But this man is back in front of me. A question waiting to be answered fell from his lips, his eyes peered into mine and the grip he had on my wrist allowed me to have contact with the wetness of his naked chest.It was that weird feeling of touching something damp that caused me to fully realise the state of the man in front of me. His towel was shamelessly hanging low around his waist and I could almost see the one part of him I shouldnโt get close to.But the fact tha

CarrieIt was from me.I farted.But you know what? I am not embarrassed. Even though my eyes are closed right now, I am barely embarrassed.I know the fart was a moment-ruiner. But hear me outโฆ It was for the best. I say so because I finally found that tiny part of me that didnโt want that moment to happen.So, now that I am back to my senses I should gently walk out and pretend nothing happened.โWhere are you going?โ In conjunction with the sternness in his voice, Alessandroโs hold on my waist refused to budge and I opened my eyes. โWe are not done.โโHuhโฆโ He is serious. He is not budging! โItโฆ It might start to smell.โโWho cares?โโHuh?โ This man keeps surprising me. I know that farting is a natural phenomenon but it can be annoying when it comes with a smell. And I know for a fact that my gas smells from time to time. My head tilted to the left and with confusion in my voice, I repeated, โIt might start to smell.โโItโs just you and me in here.โ He quickly licked his lower lip.

CarrieI donโt think Iโll ever forget the feeling that came with Alessandroโs impassioned touches.It was already the next day, I slept and woke up to a bright afternoon and I can still feel the effect of his touch.Things werenโt so fiery the first time we blindly got together and that made me wonder if Alessandro was one of those men who are rumoured to be monsters in bed, the type that always hides under simple human actions.If that is the case, I think I am in bigger trouble than I thought.Because that man has proven that he can do things that are dangerous to my body and entire soul.Just as I cherished the little moment Alessandro and I spent when we first met, I know my body loved the sensual danger it faced yesterday, and I can tell that more is coming.I can tell that Alessandro Valante is purposefully and slowly exposing the layers of his existence.And by keeping me in his abode, I will have no choice but to give in to every part of him that he displays.Oh myโฆ.This is v

CarrieWith haste, while my eyes refused to tear off the dangerous version of Alessandro I was looking at, I began to push the hardness of the wall behind me. I wished for it to hurriedly flip me back to the other side where I can act oblivious to the gruesome thing I was witnessing.But the entrance refused to budge. No matter how much I pushed, not even when I faced the wall and pressed it hard, it refused to budge.Then, I knew I was doomed. And, I became more doomed when I realised that the men had discovered my presence in that hidden room.Slowly, while their angry questions about who I was raided my ears, I turned and faced them. Then my eyes met that of Alessandro Valante who was still majestically seated on the grand chair that placed him on a plane higher than others.With grimness in his eyes, he watched as I silently begged him to help me out of that place. But he ignored the plea. I know for sure that that was what he did because after my lips mouthed the word โpleaseโ, h

CarrieGary pulled back before our lips could meet.The sleekness in his evasion was enough to slap proper sense into me, so I swiftly adjusted my position and cleared my throat to help get rid of the awkwardness I invited into the space.โCarrieโฆโ Gary sounded unbothered by the insane thing that almost happened so I took that as a sign to not brood over the mistake I almost made so much. Gary reached for my hand and gave it a squeeze. โI can help you start a new life.โMy head was quick to whip in his direction. I loosened the way I bit into my lower lip and my eyes felt ticklish with slight excitement as I asked, โCan you really do that?โโOf course.โโBut how? I doubt you have enough money to help me out of this predicament.โGary laughed and my concern abounded. I was not joking, so why would he find my words funny?He replied, โI can tell that you still donโt know a lot about me. You didnโt fully research me when your father employed me, did you?โMy lips formed a pout. โWas ther

CarrieFor a second, my desperation to reach the bathroom was forgotten and all I did was stare at the man as though he were some alien man who had stumbled upon the house by mistake.Alessandro Valante paid no heed to my unwelcoming expression and began to majestically approach the innards of the room. As his paces led him in, his fingers began to play with the buttons of the shirt that formed around the intricate moulds of his upper body.In reaction, my brows furrowed and my head slanted towards the left while my lips pried apart in further confusion.I soon found my voice and asked, โWhat are you doing?โโPreparing to take a bath.โ His response was so casual, youโd think that he spent the night with me. He was acting as though we were married couples who retired to that small house to get rid of the city and the problems that come with it.โWhy would you do that?โ My tone was furious and my hands slapped the air in frustration. โWhy are you here?โHis shirt was almost slipping off

Tangled With The Mafia Kingย ย ย Epilogue
CarrieAlessandro and I sat in silence for a very long time. We held hands and stared at the sea and the way it displayed its beauty while the wind played with it.Then, after many minutes, I asked, โHow have you been?โAlessandro faced me, his gorgeous eyes making my heart skip as though it was the first time meeting him. โBefore a few moments ago, I have been shitty. Very shitty.โHis response tempted me to imagine how terrible things were for him when my father captured me. But a glimpse of that imagination made my heart ache, so I quickly dumped that idea.โI am sorry, Alessandro.โWhy?โโMy father caused us so much pain. He uh-โ I lowered my head while a faint memory of how I suffered in that dark room seeped into my mind.โDonโt think about it, Carrie.โ Alessandroโs soft gaze met mine. โIt is too sad.โโIt happened, Alessandro. How do I face it if I donโt think about it?โโCarrie.โ A crack entered his voice and for some seconds, he bit into his lips. โYou were in hell back there
Tangled With The Mafia Kingย ย ย I love you, my flower
AlessandroโMr. Valante,โ the doctor dragged me out of my deep thoughts.โHow is she?โ After Carrie asked a question that made my entire soul crash, she lost consciousness and we had to rush her to the hospital.โThankfully, we were able to stabilise her, but she needs to be watched for some days. While we wait, weโll run necessary tests and take care of her to the best of our ability.โโWill she be fine?โ That was all I wished to know.โYes. I believe she will overcome this.โ The doctor still had questions. โFrom the chart I got from the patientโs previous hospital, it indicated that she was pregnant.โMy throat felt heavier. โSheโฆ She lost the baby, didnโt she?โHe sighed. Then he nodded. โWe will have to test for an overdose. Especially for Diclofenac and Misoprostol. It is possible that they were given to the patient regularly. If that turns out to be true, the culprit will be charged with murder. Thatโs as far as I know.โโThank you, doctor. Butโฆโ I hesitated to ask my question bu

CarrieWhen my eyes opened again, I felt strange, I felt clean. But that feeling failed to override the disappointment I felt when I realised that I was still alive.Darkness surrounded me as usual and emptiness joined the party.And all I could do was stare at nothing and wait for the worst to happen.Many moments later, the door opened and the light came on.Gary stepped into the room.โYou are awake,โ he said, his hand carrying a tray of what seemed to be food.I could have scoffed at that sight if I had the strength. At this point, eating is meaningless. I doubt I would be able to swallow anything.โYou should eat,โ Gary continued. He knelt and dropped the tray on the floor. โIt has been days since you had anything. You should at least eat something.โโGaryโฆโ My voice was greatly weak as usual.โYes, Carrie?โ I listened as he dragged himself closer. โWhat is it? Do you need to go to the bathroom? You donโt have to make a mess here anymore. It is unhealthy.โโIโฆโ I focused on the ce

AlessandroI have lost my mind.Iโll keep losing my mind.Iโll keep letting images of Carrie haunt me in dreams and real life. Iโll continue to be a version of myself Iโll never understand as long as things continue this way.Itโs been a month since Carrieโs disappearance and everything has turned upside down. After a long day of locating Carrie to no avail, I resort to a lifestyle that makes me furious with myself.I canโt stop it though. Right now, itโs the only way I know to survive.And thatโs why I wonโt back away from crushing the head of the man kneeling in front of me with the end of my gun.Thatโs right. I went back to CDP.I thought it was the only place I could be fairly sane while I searched for Carrie.But what happens now that Iโve lost a great deal of my sanity? I guess Iโll just have to go with the flow of things and see if Iโll lose every other thing in my life.After all, it seems Iโm about to lose Carrie.The grip I had on the manโs hair loosened and I staggered bac
Tangled With The Mafia Kingย ย ย Laughter from my father
( Trigger Warning for chapters ahead: Mild imagery related to miscarriage. Please take note.)CarrieA groan left my lips and I opened my eyes. My sight settled on an unfamiliar ceiling and for many seconds, I blinked furiously while my mind fell into deep confusion.The purely white ceiling also seemed to mess with my mind because I couldnโt bring myself to think about the last thing that happened to me. The more I racked my mind, the more a strange pain wrapped around my head.I also tried to move but nothing happened. I attempted calling for Alessandro, but my lips were unmovable, and my throat felt weird as well.So, all I could do was stare at the ceiling.But, minutes later, I discovered that my hearing sense was working quite fine when a rather manly footstep filled the room. Hearing that made me eager to move, I wished to know who the person was.The person decided to spare me the trouble.โHello, Carrie.โ The voice was familiar. โYou are finally awake.โ The person moved close
Tangled With The Mafia Kingย ย ย Guilt and Tears
CarrieโWhat did you just say?โ I rushed to the front door, my hands managing to push Alessandro to the side. I could not recognize the tall man I almost jammed chests with. โWho passed away? Which Mr. Edwards?โThe man faced Alessandro. And I did the same.โAlessandro. What is he talking about? Who is dead?โAlessandro peeled his eyes off mine. โCalistus, grazie. Letโs talk some other time.โโAlessandro!โ I stomped a foot on the ground. โPleaseโฆโWith a hand, he hugged me from behind and closed the door. โWhy are you trying to harm yourself? Relax, Carrie.โโHow can I relax?โ At this point, my eyes started to well tears because Alessandroโs hesitation was enough to tell that the mentioned Mr. Edwards was indeed my father. โMyโฆ My father is dead.โโCarrieโฆโโDonโt even lie to me. Donโt lie to me.โโCarrieโฆโ He settled me on the nearest couch. Our eyes met and my lips wore an ugly expression while incoming tears bloated my throat.โItโsโฆ Itโs my father, isnโt it?โ Alessandro sighed and
Tangled With The Mafia Kingย ย ย We are married now
CarrieThree days later, we left the hotel and headed for our home, the modern bungalow that continues to take my breath each time I set my eyes on it.But as Alessandro drove to our destination, I noticed that he was quiet in a way that told me that he was already swimming in regret. I considered reaching for his hand to assure him that I will always be available for him to talk to, but it would be unwise to become a distraction while heโs driving.So, I adjusted my position and postponed my thoughts.โCarrie?โโYes, Alessandro? Hmm.โ I shook my head as though I just said something forbidden. โThatโs wrong. Yes, my husband?โAlessandro could not hold back his loud laughter. It erupted in a way that instantly made my heart fly with joy.โWhy is that so good to hear?โ he asked.โBecause it is the truth.โ I brought my left hand to his face. โWe are married. I am your wife and I am your husband.โHis affection-filled eyes racked my body and I felt my cheeks flush, I almost bit into my li
Tangled With The Mafia Kingย ย ย Objections and sacrifices
CarrieAs I walked, a lovely piano sound filled the air and that helped me stay focused on Alessandro only.The man was not exactly smiling, but the gaze he carried held and drew me closer and closer until the distance between us was closed.โHello, my flower,โ he greeted once he took my arm off Eduardoโs.โHello.โ I sounded like a shy bride who was yet to know the ways of a marital bed.โYou look absolutely beautiful.โโSo do you.โHe leaned closer and lowered his voice some more, โYour neck looks sexy.โMy hairdo allowed a full exposure of my neck. I am aware that my neck is one of the sexiest features of my body, so I smiled knowingly at his sentence and if it were possible, I wished to have a kiss planted there.โHmmโฆโ The slightly aged man behind us cleared his throat. โI was informed that this is meant to be a short ceremony, so we will keep it short.โ He eyed Alessandro and me till we took a few steps away from each other. โDearly beloved, we gathered on this fine day to celebr
Tangled With The Mafia Kingย ย ย Wedding blues and loneliness
CarrieTrue to Alessandroโs words, our wedding was slated to be held a week after the proposal. And after many hours of rigorous preparation for what was meant to be a lowkey wedding, the morning of our new start arrived and I woke up feeling extremely nervous.And things got worse when I looked down at the outdoor wedding setup from the window of the small hotel we booked. And it became extremely worse when I took a look around my room and realised that I was alone with my simple wedding gown hanging on a grand rack opposite my bed.I know that I have been alone for a while, but at this moment when I am sitting down on my bed and staring at my gown, it hits me more and more that I am really by myself. I donโt even have anyone to walk me down the aisle.I at least had my Uncle for the first wedding.But then, I can hold a side of my stomach and imagine my baby is walking me down the aisle as I proceed to marry his or her father.I do wonder if my child will be a boy or a girl.โSister
