The Alpha's Dhampirica [Mafia Games XII] 21 ◆ Seeking Forgiveness ◆
◇ KEL ◇I knew it. It was Miles on the phone. But what and who were they talking about?His brother? Why? Or perhaps Miles only called him up to warn him to stay away from me.Again.Then, maybe, they ended up talking about their family's most recent business deals and whatnot.My curiosity was pushing me to ask Enzo about their conversation, but like Miles said, I should get going. I shouldn't even be here in this expensive hotel. Or anywhere near the Tomassinis. For my own sake. Quietly and with some hesitation, I approached Enzo as he stood still on the balcony, the faint sunlight not doing much to lighten up the atmosphere in this part of the city."Hey."Enzo turned to regard me, his phone no longer stuck to his ear. He put his phone away and just waited

◇ KEL ◇ He tilted his head to stare at my face again, his tone close to pleading. A glimmer in his beautiful eyes held my attention. His long lashes emphasized his squint before he glanced away and sniveled. Was he crying now? Shucks. In just seconds, my hands already felt drenched in sweat. "Fine. Just get off your knees." I looked away, my hands and armpits sweating profusely, not because of his heartwarming gesture but because of his tight grip on my hand when I helped him up. For a moment, it felt like he didn't want to let go of me. "I need to hear it." Hear what? That I already forgave him? Did he see me as a vindictive person? "I said 'fine', Enzo." "Really?" he murmured. Clearly he'd never stop begging until I said yes. He even leaned in to force a

◆ MILES ◆ The Falco Estate Umbria, Italy "You're not coming to the party?" I asked the question before sitting next to my older cousin in his favorite patio, minding the dark half-circles under his light blue eyes and the semi-permanent scowl on his mouth. After that awfully long travel by car, I should be the one sulking and making faces, but I caught Ricchar at a bad time today. Well, he was still working despite being stuck home all month long. Perhaps Ricchar was more stressed than usual by his current responsibilities in the family business. Plus, Cloe being pregnant and mostly bedridden for the time being... "Cloe doesn't want me to leave," Ricchar muttered, his eyes busy on his phone. His outfit today was a simple black tracksuit with white stripes on the unzipped front, not very "businessmanly" like his usua

◆ MILES ◆The Falco EstateUmbria, ItalyMe. A hotelier. Working at Luxoria and running our hotel chain practically seven days a week. Devoting almost every moment of my life into the family business.Well, about half of the family business, since Pappa and our clan had long been focusing on the growth of our cruise and shipping line. Not Luxoria.Our hotel chain business had been in the backseat for a long while now, in fact. Why did Pappa want me to take over Luxoria? Did he think I needed the job? Or perhaps, he's actually starting to trust me more now when it comes to the family business.Before my tired brain could come up with a few good guesses, Ricchar left me alone in the patio to make a call.Then a very pregnant Cloe walked out the backdoors. She welcomed me with open ar

◇ KEL ◇ "So? Did he sign it or what? He's not replying to my emails anymore. Sonuvabitch ghosted me." I giggled at Gaia's fairly incensed reaction. It was my fault—I didn't tell her about the last conversation I had with Enzo, about that loan payment agreement I asked Gaia to revise. Well, in all honesty, I didn't want to talk to her about him at all. That last time I decided to hang out with him ended on a profoundly baffling note. Lately, I couldn't think of much else besides his cryptic goodbye that day. I just didn't know if Enzo really meant what he said...that it would be the last time we'd see each other. That he would never bother me again. It triggered a mini anxiety attack for me. I never told him he was being a bother, and I didn't know why he said that. "Sorry. He's just real busy these days," was my excuse. Hopefully Gaia didn't think I totally wasted her time and effort because Enzo repeatedly and blatantly refused to sign that contract. "So he didn't sign it?" "No.

× WARNING! ×× GRAPHIC CONTENT BELOW NOT INTENDED FOR YOUNG READERS ×◇ KEL ◇For years I'd been convincing myself that I was asexual. That I didn't need sex to feel whole. That I didn't need intimacy with another human being to feel like a normal person.At first I thought, being celibate and staying single would be a good way to avoid unwanted anxiety. In my case, it often resulted in depression or anxiety attacks from time to time.But now with Miles being intimate with me again, my senses just barred any other sensation except the familiar warmth of his soft mouth leaving gentle kisses on my neck. He kept licking and kissing me. Like my skin was his evening snack, or something. Some nervousness and concern disrupted my thoughts for a moment, but he wouldn't hurt me. He was always caref

◆ MILES ◆These fucking cockblockers...What else do I gotta do just to get laid tonight? I sighed and glanced at my phone, minding my bodyguard's lax gait as we approached Ricchar's office.Niccolo kept my guitar solo ringtone blasting through my phone's speakers as I stepped into my cousin's private study room. The distinct scent of dusty old books and some vanilla-smelling bourbon filled the room. I declined Niccolo's call just to make my phone shut up.Behind the hardwood desk crowded with paperwork, Ricchar sat back in his black swivel chair with his headset snug in his ear. A scowl wrinkled his lips. He looked busy talking to someone on the phone. The deep furrow in his dark brows and his unusually peremptory tone told me he wasn't in a better mood at all.I stood by the door while Alessio sat in one of the c

◆ MILES ◆"Così avrà l'immunità davanti alla legge."[So he will have legal immunity.]"Sono abbastanza certo che sia impossibile, Lorenzio."[I’m pretty sure it’s impossible, Lorenzio.]I squinted at the guy sitting in front of us, doubting his words, my patience thinning out. Besides the mother of all bitching headaches ending my long day on a shitty note, now I had to put up with an intruder that threatened to make my day even shittier. What he brought with him also posed a threat to my dwindling peace of mind and my plan of having at least six hours of sleep tonight. With Mykaela beside me. As I stayed put beside Ricchar, his full attention centered on the guy sitting in front of his desk and rocking restlessly in the chair opposite mine. Our prolonged si
