Chapter Three I Just Know It

We sat down to make our plates. We were picking up the conversation from the living room. I found myself laughing and smiling—something I hadn't done in a while. I got the feeling Axon was perfect for me, it was too bad I just got out of a breakup, but we could still be friends, couldn't we?

When the night was over, and I had walked him to the door, I found myself wishing for just five more minutes. I didn't want the night to end.

He shuffled his feet at the door and ran his fingers through his short blonde hair."Well, it was lovely meeting you, Tatianna. Do you, maybe think, that I could take you out sometime?" You could tell he was nervous about asking the question.

I smiled to reassure him and, maybe with a little too much enthusiasm, said, "Sure" Reaching out to him, I placed a peck on his cheek. Wishing I could turn it into more, but instead, I just said, "good night!" As I closed the door.

Bracing my body against the door in a swoon-worthy pose, I think back to the night I just had. I'm not looking for a boyfriend after what happened with Jackson. On the other hand, Axon seems like a nice guy, and I guess it wouldn't hurt to get to know him. A snarky voice in my head says, 'Yeah, right, you want to get more than to know him.' I push the thought to the back of my mind.

I can't believe Kate. Well, yes, I can; she's known to pull something like this. At least this guy, I like. The last guy she set me up with was incredibly dull and complacent.

Axon seems thoughtful and caring. Not boring at all, and he's incredibly handsome. For once, I'm kind of glad Kate set me up on a blind date.

I get on my laptop to check my emails. The first one I read is from my publicist.

Tatianna, the tabloids are blowing up. Can you explain this?

Underneath the email, there are a few attachments. I quickly download the attachments and cover my mouth in horror at the headline.

"Tatianna wasn't enough to settle Jackson's needs." Says Tamara Reeds.

I'm going to kill him. Jackson was screwing my nemesis. Are you freaking kidding me? There's a photo of Jackson standing beside a skinny blonde with green eyes and a fake tan on the cover.

You can run, Tatianna, but you can't hide. Where is Tatianna now? Sources say she's in Hawaii.

At least they haven't found out where I am; the photo they have of me is an old photo crying at a family member's wedding. These people have no shame.

I rub my temples and close my laptop. Perhaps I'll deal with this on another day. I only have a few more days here, and then it's back to my hectic life. On the bright side, I'll soon be shooting in Hawaii. So I won't have to go back to L.A so soon.

What on Earth possessed me to give Axon another date? I shouldn't get involved with him, especially since I'm leaving soon. There's no way I can date him with the career I have.

Kate finally comes sneaking through the door at midnight.

I furrow my eyebrows and interrogate her as a mother would her child. "Where have you been, Kate?"

She lowers her head, knowing she's in the wrong.

"Just out." She says casually.

I wag my finger to scold her."Please don't lie to me, Kate. I know you have a boyfriend, now spill."

She bites her lip and looks up at me. "my boyfriend's name is Aiden. I've been dating him for a while now. I'm sorry I didn't tell you; I figured you were having a rough time as it is, and you didn't need me gloating about my new boyfriend. I only want to see you happy. So when Aiden mentioned setting Axon up with someone, I instantly thought of you."

"Katie Bug, I am happy. I'm happy that you're happy. I'm just curious to know why you set me up on a date without telling me?"

"Because I knew you wouldn't agree to it, and you deserve to be happy. Axon is a nice guy; give him a chance."

I bit my lip and sighed, coming back down to reality."Why give him a chance Kate? I'm just going to be leaving in a few days, and I'll never see him again."

She raises her eyebrow and smirks." Well, I wouldn't necessarily say you'll never see him again."

"Spit it out, Kate; what exactly are you getting at?" I give her a look of annoyance. I hate when she beats around the bush.

She claps her hands excitedly."He has an office in LA as well as Ohio."

"You thought this all through, didn't you?" I can't decide if I'm annoyed or if I'm excited. Leave it to Kate to think of everything. How has he not heard of me?

"Kate, did you tell him about my modeling career?"

"Of course not! I know you want someone to like you for you and not because your famous."

"How much do you know about Axon?" I furrow my brow.

"Enough to know he's successful and cute."

"Wow, Katie Bug, I just can't even deal right now!"

"Enjoy his company. I'm not saying to go out and marry the guy but test the waters."

"I'm still not over, Jackson." I hang my head lower, the realization hitting me like a ton of bricks. I loved Jackson, didn't I?

"The quickest way to get over a guy is to get under another." She says, laughing.

"Have you been listening to Betty White again?"

"No!" She says with a cackle.

Kate is an advocate Golden girls lover. She adores Betty White. I'm more like Sophia or Dorothy. Hey, we can't all be a Rose.

"Come on, Tati, live a little."

"Hmm, let me think about, nope, no way not going to happen!"

She gives me her best puppy dog eyes. "Please, Tati, you need this; he needs this."

She's desperate, so I know she's hiding something."What aren't you telling me about him?"

"Well....he's gone through some things. A break up I think. I don't know to what extent Aiden didn't say.

"So I'm his rebound?"

"Don't say it like that, Tati. Will you please do this for me."

"Okay! You know I already agreed to go on a second date with him anyway. I wish he would have told me he's been through a breakup recently."

"Well, did you tell him about Jackson?" She asked, looking skeptical.

"Well, no, why would I?"

"Why not?" She says, raising an eyebrow.

"Because he's not a subject I like talking about, "I say while biting my cheek.

"Exactly; I'm sure his ex is a sore subject to talk about as well."

"I guess you're right. I guess I'll give Axon a chance. What's the worst that can happen?"

"Okay, Tati, I'm going to sleep; you should get some rest as well."

"I can't. Have you seen the tabloids?"

"Yes, that's why I told you to stay away from them."

"Well, that's kinda hard when you have the publicist I have."

"Good night, Tati, sweet dreams."

"Night, Katie Bug," I say, yawning.

    I pull up to the dimly lit brick building an hour later. Three Black SUVs are already there. Meaning I’m late.Running my hands through my hair, I take a batted breath. This is it. The men are waiting. We could end this. It’s all on how we play the game. My hand reaches for the door, I know I’m taking my time, but the thought of telling the Don the news has me stalling. Even though he is Tati’s father, he is still a stone cold killer. Although he is older and wrinkles cover his face, he has seen more blood than a blood bank. And his withered hands have held more life in them than most. He doesn’t take bad news well. The fact that it was one of my men that put the family at risk, has me worried. I enter the solid concrete room where Vito is waiting patiently with his hands behind his back. Two men are strategically placed on both sides of him. “Bendetto, my boy!” Vito walks over to me and pats me on the back. His eyes are bright. I let out a breath that I didn’t realize I

    Johnny stares back at me with a look of pure terror in his eyes. I can smell the fear mixed with blood. I walk towards him with a predatory glare. “ Johnny, Johnny, typical. I should have known you were the traitor.” “Mmmmm” Johnny wiggles against the ties that bind him. Sweat pours into his eyes. I rip the gray duct tape from his smile and smirk in satisfaction as he screams out in pain. His beard hairs pull along with the tape. “Bendetto you son of a bitch” Johnny bellows out. Swiftly I rear back and punch him in the mouth, blood pours out and he spits it back at me. I grab him up with a fistful of his black curly hair. And bring his ear to my mouth. “Now you listen to me, you son of a Bitch!” I growl out in frustration. “ One of us is going to walk out of here, the other in little pieces. You can either tell me what I want to know and I will end your miserable existence quickly and painlessly, or option two I take great pleasure in torturing every last drop of informatio

    Vito, Marco and myself are gathered around the antique Mahogany desk. I’m still not close to learning who is the traitor within the midst. It’s been a week and I’m going stir crazy. “Benedetto, if we wait any longer. Carl will take it as a sign of weakness. The family's fate rests on us taking the initiative.” Marco says as he walks up to the bookshelf with his hands behind his back. I can’t read his facial expression. But I know he is right. “Son Marco is right. We can’t hide. If you don’t act I will call the orders. Be warned that will risk an all out war. We don’t know who Carl has gotten too. I lost my best man. He was a traitor and I didn’t even know.” I rub my temples in frustration l know no matter who orders this attack, we are all screwed. “I have a traitor in my midst too. Vito no matter who orders the attack. Neither of us will have the upper hand. Give me a few days. Let my best men investigate. I will go down to the other warehouse and see to it person

    Marco and I have finally made it out of the tunnel. My head has stopped bleeding and I am starting to feel the pain. I got a glimpse of myself in the car mirror. I could look a lot worse. We’re finally at the hideout. I took extra precaution to make sure we weren’t being tailed. As much as I want to get home, my family's safety is more important. I enter in the key code and prints to unlock the door. Just as I open the door I see a nine gauge pointed directly at me. “Don’t shoot.” I yell out. My final plea. Tati is going to shoot me. Tati lowers her gun, and lets out a sigh of relief. I wipe the sweat and blood from my brow. “Axon it’s you. I was so worried.” Tati says. Her eyes are swollen and it looks like she has been crying. All I keep thinking is I caused this. Everything that Tati has gone through is because of me. “Axon you’re bleeding, are you badly hurt? Come here and let me help you clean up and bandage your wounds.” The fight in me is gone and I am mentally and p

    I pull the hidden lever on the floor and reveal a secret passageway. Dragging Marco with me down the slope, I tightly close the entrance. The fire above me burns, destroying everything my father built. Those things could be rebuilt, I only hope my men were okay. As soon as I get to the safe zone. I will be able to investigate and calculate the damage. I set Marco down. He starts hacking and coughing. The black soot is covering his face. We are both gasping for fresh air. My head is aching. If I would have stayed in that building for five more seconds I’m sure I would have passed out completely. Currently we were safe, but for how long? I should have known Carl would come after me sooner rather than later. How did the package make it past security? I scratch my head in frustration. For Carl to have delivered a bomb at the direct time I was there, there must be someone working for him on the inside. But who? I reach into my pocket and pull out my phone. Just as I thought

  • The Mafia's Princess   Chapter Sixty

    I’m sitting in the living room surrounded by family. Yet something is missing. Axon is off trying to end this war before it begins. It’s all hush, hush. I can’t help but to be frustrated. I can feel my nerves spark through my body. I never wanted this life. All my life I wanted to be a princess, but it turns out I am just not the type I’d hoped to be. Papa was right by keeping me from this life. As much as I love him, I don’t want my babies growing up in this type of lifestyle. I still have nightmares of the day the bomb went off. I try to clear it from my mind, but as soon as I close my eyes. The vivid image is there. I’m trying to put on a smile for Axon and the kids. I’ve been trying so hard to be the sister my brother needs, but deep down I’m just a scared little girl. The worst part is Axon has us all locked up, where nothing and no one can get to us. I feel so useless. “Tatianna are you okay?” Bianca asks with a small frown. “ I’m fine.” I try to give her a sma
