Chapter 36: The Relaxing Day
"Happiness is the art of relaxation."
-Maxwell Maltz-
***
“I miss you so much, we haven’t been able to spend time recently because both of us have been so busy. My God!” Liana squealed as she hugged her friend. The two of them hadn’t spent time together in a very long time.
They used to be so close to each other, but since a lot of things had happened in both of their lives, they just hadn’t been able to find the time to meet each other.
“Yes, things have been quite crazy. I almost died a week ago, but fortunately, everything is fine now.” She reassured her. Upon hearing that, Liana was shocked. But she was not going to overreact either.
One thing that made their friendship lasted for so long was how both of them were used to each other’s crazy lives and stories. They both could went deep in a conversation and still remained friends.

The Mafia Widow Chapter 37: The Sudden Proposal
"Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a meaning."-Unknown-***Victoria was back from shopping and she went to check the time. It turned out there was still some time for dinner with Ian. Darius who saw her looking at her phone about to call someone immediately noticed what was happening.“Madame, you don’t have to call him. You can just make up all sort of excuse to not see him. That man isn’t good for you, Madame.” He said in almost a pleading tone.“I’ve made my promise and I need to do what I can to fulfill it.” She hated lying and would try to avoid it on as many chances as possible. As much as she didn’t want to admit it, she had to fulfill her promise.She picked up her phone and called Ian. The man picked up within seconds. He must be expecting her as well. His husky voice was heard from the other side of the line.“I knew you would call me. I have made a reservation at your favorite restaurant. If you want to, I can come there and pick you up.” He offer
The Mafia Widow Chapter 38: The Conversation
"The most important conversation is the one you have with yourself."-David Goggins-***Victoria was taking her usual five minutes break and decided to check her phone when she saw ten new messages and five missed calls from Ian. She swore that man was incredibly persistent.She had tried to ignore him again since that evening because she thought the idea of him proposing to her was absolutely ridiculous.At the same time, she couldn’t deny that there was a curious part inside of her that wondered what would happen if she was to say yes to the proposal. She knew it was probably just the feminine nature in her speaking.She thought to herself, it was impossible to be with Ian considering what he did for a living. She didn’t want to live a dangerous life on the dark side.Constantly worrying about whether or not someone would just come up and kill her in her sleep. Something she always imagined tho
The Mafia Widow Chapter 39: The Death
"Those we love never truly leave us. There are things that death cannot touch."-Jack Thorne-***“How in the world did this happen?” Charles Dawn had never been that upset to his children before but when he saw his eldest son with a gun-shot wound in his legs and his daughter had a hand mark on her neck.Charles wasn’t sure who he was more upset at, his own children or the person who did this to them. Deep down, he knew that there had to be a reason why they were beaten up like that and it was most likely their fault. However, they were still his children.“It’s Octavian, he attacked us.” Cedric replied.“And what exactly did you do to him again this time?” Charles asked with fury in his eyes. Catherine didn’t want to be blamed by it, she gave a puppy stare to her brother and Cedric immediately spoke on her behalf.“It was my idea. There is this wom
The Mafia Widow Chapter 40: The Closeup
"One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane."-Nikola Tesla-***Ian came to visit Victoria that evening, once again, unannounced. He was sure she should be back from work by that hour. He carried a bouquet of flower in his hand and rang the doorbell.Like an old story, Darius was the one who opened the door. He wanted to groan when he saw this man. Ian really couldn’t leave her alone. He was especially upset since Ian had made the move and tried to propose to her.“It’s not a good timing. Victoria isn’t in her best state right now. I suggest you leave.” This time, Darius’ response was different. It wasn’t derived from a state of envy or jealousy. He also wasn’t acting defensive at all. It looked like this time there was a different reason and Ian quickly picked up on it.“What’s wrong? Is she fine?” He asked.
The Mafia Widow Chapter 41: The Exchange
"Negotiation means getting the best of your opponent."-Marvin Gaye-***“Are you feeling better now, Victoria?” After giving her sometime, Ian finally paid her a visit again and this time Victoria was finally accepting him.She was not sure if she was feeling truly okay after losing her only sibling but she also knew that life had to move on. It would be useless to continue mourning him.No matter how much tears she shed, the man was not coming back to her. The best thing she could do at the moment was to figure out the person who did this to him and in order to do that, she needed Ian’s help.“Ian, do you love me?” She asked. He was slightly startled by the question but then he nodded and answered directly.“Yes, I genuinely love you, Victoria.” He paused for a moment before continuing.“Listen, Victoria. I know you are probably thinking I am just playing around with you, but I am not. In the past, my motive was your business but now things have changed. I don’t care about these thi
The Mafia Widow Chapter 42: The Disturbing Fact
"People are not disturbed by things, but by the view they take of them."-Epictetus-***“I managed to obtain everything you requested.” Lucas sat down and handed over a file to Ian. He looked distressed. Even though he had other people handle the matter, Lucas couldn’t help but worry about his boss and friend.“Why are you doing all of these for her? I thought it was just a game to you.” Lucas demanded an explanation. What exactly was Ian thinking? He definitely lost his mind for this woman but he wanted a justification for it.“I know, this is all just so unreasonable and I have strayed way too far from my initial path. But for some strange reason, when I see Victoria, I feel helpless. It’s dangerous. I lost control of myself. But it’s only for her. She is the one who can make me become so irrational like this. Surprisingly, it’s not an unpleasant feeling.” A small smile escaped his lips.Lucas knew he had lost his boss. Well, not physically, but the Ian before him a love struck foo
The Mafia Widow Chapter 43: The Siblings of Sins
"We condemn a sin before we even tried it."-Henry S. Haskin-***Charles Dawn was sitting in his office, doing his business like usual thinking that he wouldn’t have any additional problems at all when his secretary brought in an unknown folder in his hand.“Mr. Dawn, this was left for you by someone. It’s an anonymous document so we wanted to toss it away, but we’re afraid it’s important.” Charles looked at the black folder, wondering who could have sent something like that.As someone who had an indefinite amount of power and resource, he often received threats from his enemies. So he wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out to be one of those threats.He opened the folder and saw something even worse than death threats. It was the picture of both his children doing forbidden acts with each other. Charles was so shocked and disgusted by the sight he felt nauseous on his stomach.“Mr. Dawn, are you okay? You look pale.” The secretary who was still in the room asked with concern on his
The Mafia Widow Chapter 44: The Whisper
"It isn't what they say about you, it's what they whisper."-Errol Flynn-***“What are you doing here so early in the morning, Ian?” Victoria had just opened the door to get some fresh air and Ian was already there with a smile on his face.It had been almost a month since the last time she saw him. She thought he was never coming back.So it was quite a surprise to see him there. She didn’t even know how he managed to pass the house security but considering everything that had happened between them in the past, it shouldn’t be so strange to see him going back and forth to her house.“I have come to bring good news. Before I tell it, do you mind inviting me in?” He asked. She sighed, unsure if it was a good idea considering Darius was preparing breakfast for them. He might get upset again if he saw Ian inside the house.“It’s about your brother’s murderer
