A couple of weeks have passed since Shane and I informed everyone else of what we know. Leo looped our parents in, so everyone is now on the same page. The information has eased some of the tension, but until Misha is avenged no one will be at peace. Shane is working hard to find the information we need while Max is busy trying to put a fine tooth comb to all of his father’s papers, documents, electronics, contacts, and everything he can to see if he can find the blackmail on Chatworth.

Meanwhile I’ve been distracting myself with the bakery and creating a new vegetarian menu for Aunt Sofia’s catering business. The current menu needs some updating, so I’m tossing myself into that and cooking up all kinds of dishes as well as testing new donut flavors. When I’m stressed, I find myself in the kitchen whipping something up. Mom says I’m a lot like her Nonna who adored being in the kitchen and made everything from scratch. Apparently, her Nonna would never buy anything pre-made, not even n

  • The Mafia Love Code   Rosie

    We arrive back at the safe house and I immediately head inside with containers of leftovers. I’m not about to be around for whatever is about to go down with Shane’s mom. I know they are going to torture her for information, and while I do cringe internally at the thought his mom deserves what’s coming her way. What she allowed to happen to Shane is awful and I’m more than sure Shane is going to make her pay for her sins. Still, that doesn’t mean I want to participate further than drugging his mom. That part was fun to be on a mini mission with my witch doctor. Past that, though, I’m out. So while Shane, Dale, and Blake deal with setting up whatever they plan on doing with Shane’s mom while I put the leftovers away and change into something more comfortable beforeI cozy up on the couch in front of the fire with my laptop, books, and a cup of tea. I have to do some assignments for my classes as well as studying for upcoming tests. I’m glad I only took three classes and didn’t go hard

  • The Mafia Love Code   Shane

    As we turn onto our childhood street, I’m met with a mix of emotions. Anxiety is my initial reaction. The street itself is triggering, but I glance at Rosie who flashes me a sweet, reassuring smile. My light, my rock, and the love of my life is the only reason I’m not completely falling apart and on a fucking murdering spree. Even now, I have such rage looking at my childhood home. I find my focus as my sights narrow on the pale yellow two story home that was my nightmare for many years. My dad, still weird to call Russ that but it’s what he is, and Julia found that my mom has a routine for Sundays since her shit head husband always works doubles. She orders every single meal even her fucking coffee. Julia rigged the app so it would appear that the job was taken. I pull into Rosie’s parents driveway. We told them we would stop to see my mom first, so they aren’t expecting us to come in right away. “I’m going to go make sure my mom is alone. I doubt they would keep Gail in the house.

    After I eat, I clean up the kitchen and do the dishes. Oddly, I like doing the dishes. It was one of my secret things I enjoyed when the diner was dead at night and we were looking for things to do. Just as I finish up the dishes my phone buzzes in my sweatpant’s pocket. I dry my hands with the hand towel before pulling my cell out of my pocket. It’s my mom. Curious, I pick up the call. “Hi, Mom,” I greet. “Hi, Honey. How are you doing?” She queries. “I’m good. Is everything okay?” I question, trying to hide my anxiety. “Everything is fine. I can’t call my daughter to talk to her?” Now she sounds irritated. “Of course, you can call me, Mom. I just wanted to make sure you and dad are okay. Just because I don’t live with you anymore and a married woman doesn’t mean I don’t care about you guys.” I defend in a calm tone. “Well, that’s good to know. Anyway, I wanted to tell you I saw Gail and Debie at the supermarket yesterday while picking up a birthday cake for a coworker's birthda

  • The Mafia Love Code   Rosie

    The last twenty-four hours have felt like an intense tornado that blew through except we didn’t get a trip to Oz. My heart was in a panic when Blake found Julia and I who told us we needed to get to the family safe house. On the ride to the safe house is when we found out Gail had been taken. It was a slap to my reality because I’ve been living in dulu land that the underworld isn’t as dark as one would initially imagine. I got caught in the glamor as if I was living in some book or movie where the threat was there but it never touched me. I was taken for Shane so I now know I was not in real danger. It was a controlled situation that while it could have gone wrong in a dozen different ways, ultimately I was okay and I ended up with Shane. Gail being abducted is a totally different situation. It’s not controlled and there is no way of knowing if she will make it out alive. The reality that I’m not in a movie is a bit of a hard pill to swallow. I don’t know why I thought I was untouc

  • The Mafia Love Code   Shane

    Heading into the woods I can see the clear tracks Rosie has left behind. Not that she is really trying to hide from me. This is different from the night of the hunt. This is for fun, release, and combining our love horror with fucking. I track Rosie. I’ll admit she got further than I thought she would, but she can run when she wants to. It doesn’t take me long before I see her running in the distance. She stops to look back at me. I yell at her that she better keep running before she squeals and runs further, which spurs me to charge after my Voodoo Doll. I’m tall, allowing my long strides to catch up to little Rosie faster now that I have her in my crosshairs. Rosie reaches the river and stops. I haven’t fully caught up with her, but I can tell she is debating disobeying the rule she was given. The wild look in her eye tells me she is thinking about it. I stop a bit away from her, waiting to see if she is brave enough to look me dead in the eyes and defy my order. “You are trapped,

    ShaneThe moment I enter the door, Blake takes the duffle bags of weapons and ammo from me as he mouths sorry. Dale looks at me with a no nonsense look. He means business, and that’s a good thing because that means he’s planning on telling me what tornado just blew into town because nothing about what is going on is okay. Gail is missing, my bio dad is not locked up in prison, and I have a gut feeling that tells me I’m not going to enjoy the information I’m about to receive. Julia helps Rosie with bags as we shuffle into the open living room that attaches to the kitchen. There are two hallways on either side of the living room. Each side has four bedroom. The basement is a giant safe room filled with weapons. “You arrived early, Russel.” Dale comments as I shut the door behind us. “How the fuck is he here at all?” I question with my jaw clenched as we shuffle into the open living room. Rosie grabs my hand and laces her fingers with mine before giving a strong, well what’s strong for
