Chapter VI: When in Versailles
Salvatore's eyes fluttered open on their own, inhaling sharply he turned onto his back before rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand before the movement beside him drew his attention to his right. He stared at the back of the head for a second, before remembering it was his wife and that he had gotten married just yesterday. Looking at the wedding ring on his left hand, he played around with it for a second before glancing at the time displayed on his phone.
7:15 a.m.
Pushing the blanket off him, he swung his legs over the edge and ran a hand through his hair. Picking up the phone on the side table, he pressed the dial and waited.
"Bonjour," The man greeted. "Good morning. This is room service, how can I help you?" He asked in a thick French accent.
"Bonjour," Salvatore rubbed a hand ov

And I named her Persephone because she loves spring and rolling around in flowers,” Nicole scrunched up her nose at his teasing. “You don’t mind

Marriage was not what Salvatore imagined it to be, rather it was meticulous, dutiful, obedient, and unsettling. Very, very,veryunsettling.The Mafia Boss had a certain routine, and every morning, he would be up at 5:30 and work out for an hour and a half. When he would get back into his room, his wife wouldn't be asleepanymore, so he always took the hour to do some yoga, and then shower. Getting dressed, he would go down to the sunroom for breakfast and find his wife dutifully standing there, or setting the table, all made up and ready for the day in a beautiful dress with her hair made and an apron around her waist."Good morning," She would greet him with a smile and a nod of her head, waiting for him to settle down before offering him the breakfast she had made and pouring in his coffee just the way he liked it.And then she never spoke.

Salvatore entered their bedroom at 9:30 p.m., thinking to find Nicole working on something, but instead, he found her dressed in a golden sequence bustier crop top with a high-waisted leather skirt, leaning over her vanity to apply her make up."Going somewhere?""We're going out to a club," Nicole informed, applying on her mascara."Who is we?" Salvatore pulled off his blazer and the button-up beneath, having decided on a suit and lay it out on the bench."Just a couple of people from work," She stepped away from the mirror, looking at the golden shimmer eye makeup and red lipstick. "Want to join?""No, I have work," Her husband shook his head before making his way into the washroom to shower."Of course you do," Nicole found herself muttering under her breath as she sat down to pull on her he

After having talked about trying to make their marriage work, they both had put some effort into the endeavor. Both of them met for lunch and had breakfast and dinner together, Salvatore turned off his phones once he entered the room, and they both take Sundays just for themselves, going out to various places or attending one seminar or the other, watching movies, building pillow forts, and whatnot.Salvatore found that Nicole smiled a lot more now, so one day, on his way from work, he had bought her a bouquet of red roses and held it behind his back when he entered the room with his wife standing before him. At the same time, both of them had brought forth the thing behind their back, the couple quiet for a moment to see the red roses and blue hydrangea bouquet in the other's hand before bursting into a fit of laughter.Since they both began making a conscious effort, people noticed them be more open, a

On this particular night, the couple lay sleeping when the bedroom door swung open silently. The footsteps were soundless as they stopped at the edge of the bed before the person jumped on the two. The suddenness had Nicole wake with a scream as Salvatore grabbed his gun, a second scream joining in the cacophony.Turning on the lamp, Salvatore held the gun outstretched before recognizing the face before him."Goddammit," He heaved a breath and put the gun down with a clang. "Fuck you, man."Nicole looked at the man before her who had a messed up wavy hazel mane and dark brown eyes as he wore vision glasses, a stubble sported on his jaw and a wide grin on his lips."Salvi!" He squealed in delight, tackling her husband as they both went toppling off the bed and onto the floor. "I missed you, baby!"Leaning over the bed, she saw the other man wr

Nicole was mesmerized by Salvatore when he was looking after the two newborn babies that had come into the world.She can recall how Serafina's water broke when they all had come together to welcome Stephan, the poor guy fainted at the sight, while Alessio stood in shock, having dropped his glass and broken it. Salvatore was the one who took command of the situation, telling one man to bring the car around, another to go upstairs and get the baby bag he had kept for Serafina in case something like this happened while another called the hospital to let them know that they were coming.Once they got to the hospital Serafina was wheeled into the maternity ward and then the delivery room. The transition was a long time so Salvatore suggested that some people go home and they'd inform everyone of the situation. In the end, Salvatore remained back with his parents and Alessio while the rest went home. The next morni

The woman watching the husky with amusement as it came trotting up to her and released the ball at her feet."Cheater," She chuckled under her breath before picking up the ball and put it into the call launcher to throw it across the yard with both the dogs standing to a ready before her."Nicole," A voice called from behind her causing her to turn around and find Salvatore standing in a three-piece grey tweed suit with a white undershirt and black tie; a black overcoat on top of his suit and gloves on his finger, his entire ensemble had Nicole lick her lips at how g
Unknown Territory Chapter XIV: Missed Calls
Tazio drove through the open metal gates, the land beneath the tires leveling out to be a dusty stretch of soil; large enclosures surrounded by white fences on either side with beautiful beasts running in the area or grazing on the grass. A beautiful white structure erected before him with triangular roofs and a large porch opening out to the front of the ranch where a black Range Rover and a matte black Lamborghini Aventador stood in the shade not too far away.Putting the car into park before the farmhouse, Tazio stepped out in beige dress pants paired with a white button-up covered by an olive green blazer. Rubbing his hands together against the cold he looked up to see two men standing against the patio posts, one of them smoking while the other looked out at the horses in the enclosure."Where is he?" He directed the question to the two men."Riding Ebony," Both of them responded in syn
