The Mafia's Wanted Desires. 45
ASHLEYBy the time I was done dressing up, Arden was in the shower and it was a good thing because I was dead sure he wouldn't let me move an inch from this room because of what I was wearing. Not like it was bad, but the possessive beast in him will come out to play when he sees me in this outfit. It was a look I have always wanted to try with my casuals. I was clad in army green cargo pants with a black corset bralette that did so little in hiding my boobs. My cleavage was out in the open and the bralette stopped a few inches below my breasts.I paired my outfit with cute white sneakers and a matching shoulder bag, my hair tucked securely in a sleek low bun, not to mention the bold red lipstick on my lips. I had one of his numerous black shirts draped around my shoulder in case I got cold, but it was a cute fit and Arden was an ass! So, I did the one thing I knew I could do. I ran out of the room before he was out of the showers, racing down the staircase.I released a breath I didn

ASHLEY"So, what's the sex like?" Dawn asked like it was the most casual thing in the world. My eyes almost flew out of their sockets while Dawn looked so horrified. I stared at the redhead on the screen of my phone, who was twirling her hair between her fingers, her blue eyes sparkling with so much mischief as she grinned from ear to ear."Dawn!" I shrieked, lifting my body off the egg chair I was seated on. My cheeks suddenly grew so hot at the question she just asked."Girl, you are crazy!" Ivana yelled, but she was unable to hide her amusement. I could see past the horrified facade she had on her face because beneath it, was a smile that was about to break out.It made me more embarrassed."What?!" Dawn shot at us, defending herself with a grin."Have you seen the man? He looks like Adonis' first son!" She exclaimed, tucking her hair behind her ear. I threw her a nasty glare and she raised her hands in mock surrender while Ivana's heated gaze was trained on me."That's my husband

ASHLEYI was puzzled. Stupefied, even.I sat in the egg chair for a while, trying to collect my thoughts and also trying to wrap my head around the fact that someone just waltzed into my house like she owned the damn place. With the speed of light I could barely comprehend, I jolted upright and grabbed my phone, marching into the house. Pushing the door open, I walked in to see relief washing over Alberta's face, causing me to furrow my brows."Mrs. Gray, you are here." She took in some air, and for some weird reason I couldn't decipher, I gave Alberta a mental pat for addressing me the way she did. It just sounded right because of the lady in red who struck me as an imminent threat. On cue, she whirled around and took off her shades.Nothing could have prepared me for the monolid set of deep hazel eyes that clashed with mine. I let out a soft gasp at the sight of the siren-like lady who stood a few feet away from me, utterly short of words.Her eyes…They had to be her most beautifu

JAXONRage simmered through my veins, threatening to consume me from the inside out. My mood which had been completely sour before I got home seemed to have spiked up, rendering me overly irritated. The air that hung in the room was toxic, unnerving even. The event that just occurred was enough to leave everyone on the tip of their toes. Heck, I could smell their fear. "Get the hell out of my sight and stop staring at me like a fucking moron!" I growled at them and they scampered off in different directions, leaving Duncan and me alone. I raked my fingers through my hair, groaning in frustration. I didn't say anything to Duncan before marching upstairs.I didn't even know what I was going to say to her. I have seen her angry but today, she was like a ticking time bomb that had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to explode. I could see it in her eyes, the rage, the fierceness. She was like a different person a few minutes ago. She looked every bit of the Queen that she was alway

ASHLEY"So, Duncan, huh?" I sparked up a conversation, rinsing the knife in my hands in the sink. The girl beside me stiffened, her hands growing numb as she set the knife in her hands on the chopping board. I was bored out of my mind and my grump of a husband was in one of his asshole moods. He had been holed up in his study all day with his men and I knew that because Duncan was nowhere to be found. I didn't want to think about what he might be up to in that study, so I decided to make dinner for us. I knew I was going to have to play the boss card and that was what I did with Alberta when she tried to get me to give up on cooking dinner. I knew I had to get her out of the house and she couldn't say no to me when I told her to go with the driver on grocery shopping. So, I was stuck with Zelda who insisted on helping out. I have been eating Alberta's meals for a while now and I just wanted to do something different. It was tiring having someone make my meals. I wanted to eat someth

ASHLEYThe air thickened with so much tension, and when I finally moved from where I stood, I dropped the tray on the counter. Zelda hopped off the counter and I knew her instinct was to go check out what was going on in the living room, but I had everything under control."Stay in here and handle everything for me." My tone was quite clear that I wasn't asking. I ordered her to do so and she nodded in response. I took off my gloves and walked out of the kitchen.I was plunged into confusion at the sight of two women in the living room. One was older and the other one was much younger. I could tell from her hourglass figure because she had her back turned to me. My eyes strayed to the kids that were running around the living room, excited giggles emitting from them. I walked forward, and like the two women could sense my presence, they spun around and I felt my brows snap together. Their gaze at me had my anxiety spiking up dangerously high.I swallowed the spit that was starting to b

ASHLEYI went back to the kitchen and let out a sigh of relief when Zelda already had everything prepped. I kissed her cheeks and requested she help me get the dishes on the table. She exchanged pleasantries with Maria like they had known each other for years. It took me a while before I remembered that Alberta had been working here for years, so they probably knew each other that way. "Let me help out," Maria offered to help me dish the food and I shook my head with a polite smile."I have it under control." I grinned at her and pulled out plates, dishing out everyone's food. It wasn't something so special. It was just curry sauce with shrimp, alongside the chicken I grilled earlier, and a little rice. I didn't know we were going to have guests over, so I just settled for a regular meal since I thought it was just going to be Arden and me. But, the women wouldn't stop gushing over how good it looks.I couldn't resist the urge to smile at them, feeling his unwavering gaze on me the w

ASHLEYI placed my hands on my kneecap, pulling my jog to an abrupt stop. My breathing came out in loud wheezes and harsh pants as I struggled to get a hold of it. My chest constricted in a dull pain that had me squeezing my eyes shut for a moment before I got upright and tied my messy hair in a ponytail. My knees were almost numb, a dull ache shooting through them. I puffed out some hair through my mouth and began jogging lightly back to the villa.Irritation surged through my veins, making my skin crawl as I remembered that I didn't get much sleep throughout the night. All I could do was close my eyes and just hope that, somehow, I would fall asleep, but I didn't. I roughly got two hours of sleep before I got out of bed around 5 am, resorting to clearing my head and this feeling of utter helplessness that threatened to consume me. I was suffocating and I needed to get out of that house before I lost my fucking mind.The light jogs I engaged myself in slowly reduced to walks and I ga
