Salvatore;

There he is on the cold floor, curled into himself. His arms are wrapped around his torso, and I can tell that he fell asleep crying.

I take off my slippers and walk over to him. Careful not to make any noise. I sit on the floor beside him, and I stare at his beautiful brown hair. I reach for him, and my hand stops halfway.

What right do I have to touch him? I’m the one who got him in this state. I made him sad. I made him cry. I’m the reason he’s asleep on the bathroom floor. But… H

  • The Mafia's Boy Toy   223 - My Little Gremlin

    David;I look at her, and before I can say anything— She marches straight over to me, grabs my ear, and twists it."Ow!" I jerk backwards, cradling my ear as I glare at her."What was that for?!" I protest, and she lets go with one final twist."For being impossible." She scolds, and I rub my ear."I am protecting her!""Are you?" She retorts, and I lift a brow."What do you mean? Of course I am protecting her. I—“"How can you protect a child when you can’t even read body language?" She scolds, and I blink at her."...Of course I can read body language." I huff, and she scoffs."Then explain to me why that poor girl spent the last fifteen minutes practically begging you for help without saying a single word..." She scolds, and I pause."...and you still didn't understand what she was trying to tell you." She adds. I blink at her."What are you talking about?"Mrs. Lana closes her eyes like I’m some foolish child. She takes one long, patient breath, then mutters to herself in Hawaiian

  • The Mafia's Boy Toy   222 - It's Just Icecream

    David;The living room has once again become our office. I don’t know how this started, but for days now, it’s been a trend. I can’t even remember the last time any of us actually used the study or office upstairs.Every morning, it starts the same way. Someone walks into the living room with a file, someone else follows with a laptop, and before long, the coffee table disappears beneath contracts, financial reports and enough paperwork to keep us trapped there until lunch…sometimes even dinner.This morning is no different.I stay curled up on the sofa closest to one of the windows as I try to refocus on the documents before me.Lucas sits across from Sal, on the other end of the living room, with one leg crossed over the other as he flips through what I assume is another shipment agreement."...They're asking for another five percent." He informs me, and I look up from my work. Sal doesn't even bother looking up. He just waves his hand dismissively."They won't get it."Lucas slides

  • The Mafia's Boy Toy   221 - Not On My Watch

    Vanessa;He picks up a small paper bag I hadn’t noticed before and places it on the couch beside him. “I was told there is a little girl living here.” He says, and I frown.“I’m not little.” I correct, and he smiles.“Sorry. A very grown woman living here.” He says, and I nod.“Better.”He opens the bag and pulls out a rectangular box. The box is clear at the top, and I can see several small bottles inside it.My eyes widen when I realise what they are, and I stand up immediately.“Is that nail polish?” I ask in excitement I can hide, and Lucas’s smile grows.“I think so.” “You think so?” I ask in bewilderment, and he shrugs.“I don’t use it.”“Then why did you buy it?” “For you.” He replies, and I pause.I stare at him…Then at the box, and back at him again.“For me?” I repeat, and he nods.“Yes.” He answers, and my jaw drops.I move closer to him, and he hands me the box. I take it carefully as I settle on the couch beside him.There are so many colours here. Pink, purple, blue,

  • The Mafia's Boy Toy   220 - Pretty Lucas

    Vanessa;Princess Sprinkles is in serious trouble again.For the sixth time this week. Though this time, it isn’t her fault.Well… not completely.She probably shouldn’t have stolen the magic crown from the evil queen’s bedroom, but the crown didn’t belong to the evil queen in the first place. She stole it from Princess Sprinkles’s mother, so technically, Princess Sprinkles is only taking back something that belongs to her.I think that makes sense… It does to me, anyway.“Don’t worry, Princess Sprinkles. I’ll save you.” I whisper as I make her jump over one of the cushions I’ve arranged across the living room floor.She lands safely, and I make a small cheering sound before quickly covering my mouth.I forgot I’m not supposed to be too loud.Mr Sal and David are probably working; Hubby is somewhere upstairs. They really seem to like peace and quiet here. I find it boring, but Mrs Lana says people who live together have to learn to be considerate of each other. So, I’ll respect the d

  • The Mafia's Boy Toy   219 - Betrayal Isn't New

    Salvatore;The room hasn’t changed.I lie on my back, staring at the ceiling I spent half my childhood memorising.The same dark wooden beams, the same faint crack near the corner, the same posters I excitedly hung up…It is strange how time can tear apart entire lives and still leave a room untouched.The air smells faintly of dust, polished wood and old books. It's familiar and safe in a way that makes my heart ache.I used to avoid this room. Because it brought back too many memories. The room up here feels like… places preserved inside a glass box while the rest of the world continued moving without them.My gaze drifts to the bookshelf standing against the wall. All the books are old. I never touched or replaced them. Comics I got myself, and novels my mother forced on me, insisting I had to be consistent with reading and writing to grow a sharp mind.I stare at the old spine, and a smile splits my face, despite my vision blurring.I haven’t touched anything in here in years.Ho

  • The Mafia's Boy Toy   218 - What Is "Sin"

    Mrs. Lana;“But… isn’t it a sin?” she asks quietly, and my heart breaks a little.Just as I suspected. Her precious questions are not born from a place of defiance, or rejection…It’s something she was taught and has held carefully in her heart for so long.I crouch slightly so I am at her level, and her beautiful brown eyes blink curiously at me. She reminds me of when my little one was… little.I pinch her cheek a bit, and she giggles softly.“Tell me, darling… What is a sin?” I ask softly, and she answers immediately, like she has practised it before.“It’s something that hurts people,” she says, and I nod. Letting her speak on.“Sin is something bad. Something your heart tells you isn’t good. It’s something God said not to do.” She adds, and I let out a small breath.“That’s a very thoughtful answer,” I reply as I take her delicate little hands in mine, and I notice that now, she looks… unsure.“Now, darling, let’s think about it together,” I say, and she nods eagerly.I glance br

  • The Mafia's Boy Toy   96. What's Wrong?

    Salvatore;It’s late. I got home late. I couldn’t leave Uncle Aldo or Lucas till we were sure he was fine. But now I’m home. Home and eager to see just one person. I barge into my room, and I feel relief explode inside me when I see him. He’s sitting on the bed, covered by the duvet, and has a ske

  • The Mafia's Boy Toy   90. What Am I Doing?

    David;The gentle chatter and movements of the maids and guards outside pull me out of sleep, and I slowly blink my eyes open, but squint at the morning’s light that’s on my face.A yawn escapes me, and that’s when I feel how dry and scratchy my throat is, and it instinctively causes me to clear my

  • The Mafia's Boy Toy   99. Stupid Talk

    Lucas;I stare at him as his laughter grows, but he doesn’t let go of my leg. I want to be mad at him for barging in like that. For scaring me, and most importantly, for finding out my secret. I’ve known how to knit since I was a little boy. I got bullied for it in elementary school. In high schoo

  • The Mafia's Boy Toy   89. My Whole World

    Salvatore;A breath escapes me as I roll onto my side, the sheets cool against my bare skin. I moan in satisfaction before opening my eyes, and a yawn escapes me. I had a good night's sleep. I haven’t had one of those in years. But ever since David came around, that changed. I’ve been able to slee
