I am sited on the couch with my laptop on my thighs and a black cup of coffee on the table. I took a sip of coffee and placed the cup back on the table. As always, I am researching on Mafia, not just any type of Mafia but particularly Richie Maranzano. That fucking Bastard has been on my browser history for years and I haven’t found a solid thing about him that will make him crave mercy, pathetically.
Every fucking girl I know likes Richie Maranzano, they could die for him, probably because of his wealth, facial beauty, or whatsoever but I don’t seem to like him at all. I find him a womanizer, a cruel, arrogant man and most significantly I see him as a menace.My whole life, I have been researching rather than investigating his family, right from the time when his father was the Mafia King to when he got the power. I know every single detail about him and his family. Call me crazy but I know about his allergies and daily life routine, that’s how you know how serious I am about this. Richie Maranzano will get to my hands someday. I have thought of ways to bring him down, I have dug every fucking hole in his life and I won’t stop till I finally lure him into his grave. Don’t ask me why I dislike that man because I don’t, I don’t dislike him at all. I hate him, and if there is any other word greater than hate then that’s the perfect word to use toward him.I took a sip of coffee, groaning at the sound of Rebecca arguing with her boyfriend. I feel like she argues with her boyfriend at least twice a week and whenever that happens, it leads to a serious fight which eventually makes them break upSighing, I take my EarPods and plug them into my ears to avoid any distractions. Right now, my main focus is Richie Maranzano and his family, sometimes I wish I had a spy that lives with him and would help me get Richie to his grave."I will end you, Richie," I whisper to myself once a photo of him appeared on my screen.I feel like strangling him to death but I know that won’t pay up for everything he and his family did, and it certainly won’t hurt him the way I want it to. I just don’t want to ruin his life but I want to ruin his career, and his legacy and most importantly I want to see the pain in his bloody eyes; increasingly uncontrollable pain.I was brought back to reality when the door swung open and Rebecca peek her head into the room. I glance at her and continued what I was doing."Speak quick, I don’t have much time, I’m very busy," I say to her"We broke up." She says; her voice sinking into sadness."Oh lord not again" I roll my eyes. I’m not very surprised, they break up literally every week, I mean, don’t they get tired? It’s high time she stops this bullshit relationship of hers and moves on with her life."I can’t believe we broke up." She says; her voice sounding low and soft"Well, I can. You break up with him every week.""Oh please, I’m hurting right now." She sits on the edge of the bed"Yeah whatever, just tell me what happened already." I’m seriously not interested in what happened, I know for sure that it has to do with something very stupid."Okay, so get this. John wanted me to meet his-""Wait a minute," I say cutting her off "Did you just say John, I thought that was Jerry""You see, you can tell which is which, right?" She says. Jerry and John are identical twins and to be honest, i can’t tell which is which."But anyways, that was the second offense I did, I called him Jerry instead of John. So back to my story, he wanted me to meet his mother-" She continues."Isn’t that a good thing?" I ask"No, it’s not, I don’t want to meet his mother or anyone from his family. I feel like after meeting his mother he will want to take the relationship to the next level and-"I increased the sound volume of my earpod and played a high-tone song. I seriously don’t want to hear anything about Mother, John, Jerry, or anyone else. Relationship things aren’t my kind of thing. I continued what I was doing as I glance and nod at Rebecca even now and then just so she doesn’t get suspicious of me ignoring her.Rebecca and I are best friends, we meet at the western county’s orphanage; I was just sixteen back then when I first came to the orphanage, and after some months Rebecca got adopted, and soon the family that adopted her sponsored my college and now, as you can see I am done with college and will be starting my new job tomorrow; that is if I get the job.Rebecca is a crazy bitch, if only crazy is the perfect word to use. I was just like her, a crazy badass bitch, always wandering around, partying all the time, moving from one guy to another, although she only does that when she breaks up with her so-called boyfriend who happens to be one of her cousin's best friends."Oh, my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!" I say taking my EarPods off and turning my gaze to Rebecca as a wide smile appears on my face"What!" She exclaims standing up from the bed "What! What!" She repeats with the same level of excitement as me"Richie Maranzano is going to be at the black club tonight.""Shut up!" She grinned "Are you for real?""Yeah, it says here that he is planning on buying the club property and will be there for the contract negotiations." I read from the laptop"Holy shit hole! I might get a chance to meet Richie, The Richie Maranzano." She saysLike I said, ladies die for him."But don’t get your hopes high, because it could be a rumor," I say recalling that this isn’t the first time I have seen something like this and it turned out to be fake news."Rumor or not who cares, this is Richie we are talking about, any chance we get we have to take it." She says with full excitement.Seem like she had gotten over her broken relationship."But wait a minute, why are you so excited, I thought you hated him." She says to me"I do but any chance I get to fish in with him, I will take it because internet research isn’t taking me anywhere," I tell her."You know what, I always wondered why you research on him, I mean if you don’t like him, you shouldn’t be concerned with anything he’s doing.""Err- what are you planning on wearing tonight, any ideas?" I say changing the subject. I have never told Rebecca why I hate the Maranzano family and I don’t have the intention of telling her because of her big mouth. She can’t seem to keep quiet especially when she gets drunk."I have lots of new collections, we can try them on." She says.Richie Maranzano, it’s high time we meet, I will do everything in my power to ruin you. I’m coming for you.~ Ten years later My life is completely transformed. I am no longer Delilah. I’m Rachel Green, the nonchalant, jobless girl everyone thinks is obsessed with Richard Maranzano because I have been living my life with curiosities about his life. It is nerve-wracking how close yet far away I am from him. I know every single detail about his life - what he does, what he eats, what he wears, who he’s with. Every single detail is stored is kept in my brain. I live to seek revenge on Richard Maranzano; the teenage boy that cared less about my mother. He is the same person that pierced my heart ten years ago and that is exactly what I am hoping I’d do to his heart. Although I will make sure that he burns more than I did. I spend my day doing nothing but searching and looking at paparazzi’s everyday, everywhere photos of the Maranzano family. It’s really great how famous the Maranzino family are, I get to know and learn a lot about them without stepping out of my control zone. As a matte
I was tangled in the sheets and blankets, laying on my stomach with a pillow covering my head. I lifted myself up my elbow slightly, the pillow tumbled over. My eyes were squinted as the sun shine through the curtains making me groan and lay my head back on the bed. I slowly turned over to my back, my arm reaching over to rest over my eyes. As I turned around I realized I wasn’t at home. "What the fuck happened last night?" I jolt up from bed. Did I have sex with someone? I instantly checked my body and thank God, I was all dress not a single piece of my outfit is missing. I don’t remember how I got here, or what exactly happened last night, I glanced at the room and I realize I am the only one there. Immediately as I grabbed my phone I saw fifteen missed calls and five messages from Rebecca. Holy shit! I’m dead.Rebecca never calls unless it’s very necessary. I instantly got up from bed and head out of the room. I had to find my way out and when I did, I met ten bodyguards standing
Once I got home, I threw my bag on the couch and gaze at Rebecca."You didn’t get the job, did you?" She asks noticing the frown line on my forehead "I got the job, but-""Really!" She rushes to me pulling me into a hug "I can’t believe this, you got the job, oh my gosh we have to celebrate." She says with excitement, she pulls away and looks at me "You said ‘but’ at the end of the sentence. What happened?"I kept to where I stood and nodded my head "Why, did they reduce your salary?" She ask and I shook my head in disagreement "Did they tell you to take a night shift?" I shook my head again and walked over to the couch, I buried my head on the couch and screamed into it."What’s wrong babe." She asked sounding very concerned "It’s my boss," I say"Is he hot? Did he ask you to have sex with him?""No, but-" I exhale wondering what to tell her"But what?"I gulped the lump in my throat and blurted out "My boss is Richie Maranzano"She gasped as her eyes widened in shock "What!""Yeah
They say the sixteenth birthday party is the most important birthday party of a girl's life. It is joyful and memorable. Mine started joyful everyone was happy, Dad was singing I was dancing with my mom. I felt like a princess that day, in fact, I am a princess. My daddy’s little princess. Everything changed in a blink of an eye and suddenly it became an unexpected memory. It was very memorable such that it left a scar in the corner of my heart."Mom, I can’t go. I’m scared." I said sniffling between words. "You can do it, you have to." My mom said trying so hard to be brave but I can tell that she is scared. We all are. "No, I can’t, I can’t do it, Mom. I can’t leave you." Tears streamed down my face as I wiped them away. "You can and you will do it for me, for dad, and yourself." She said as I kept shaking my head disagreeing with her.She pushed me forward and waved her hands dismissively. "Go" She instructed "I can’t, I ca-" My throat felt like it was closing as I spoke each wo
It is night already which means a few minutes before the office dinner party. If it wasn’t for Rebecca and her dumb little influencing mouth, I wouldn’t have been getting ready. Goddamn! Richie didn’t even ask me to be his date, it was like a saying because he didn’t bother to hear my opinion on that.Rebecca has spent almost an hour painting my face all in the name of makeup and I’m fucking exhausted from that. "Goddamn! Becca, how long is it gonna take?" I say, groaning in annoyance "Just a few touches and we will be done." She responds I swear she has been saying that for the past thirty minutes. She applied a red lipstick on my lip and closed the tub before handing me a small mirror to look at myself. As I gaze at my reflection, the thoughts of my horrible sixteenth birthday party flashed through my eyes. That was the last time I had makeup done. I instantly dropped the mirror on the table trying so hard not to react."You don’t like the makeup?" Rebecca asks I gulped the lump
My eyes went wide as I kept to where I was sitting. I didn’t move an inch or say a word. My mind was blasting with questions. Questions like; what the hell Richie is doing? Why the heck is he doing this? Is this all part of a Mafia plan? What could they possibly want with me? When he said Rachel Green, was he referring to me? All these questions poured into my brain like a tidal wave.Richie and I don’t even know each other- well I know everything about him and I’m certainly sure that he knows nothing about me. With all my research I can tell that Richie isn’t the marriage kind of guy so why did he propose to me?I think I’m going to freak out. This is bad, this is very bad. I want to stop Richie but I don’t know how? Whenever I’m shocked, I lose myself just the way I’m losing myself right now. I feel like I’m paralyzed. My eyes were still locked on Richie’s eyes, he smiled at me and put the ring on my finger. "You make me feel complete." He whispers to me and then presses his lips on
I feel like today is going to be a great day for me. I always wanted to ruin or hurt Richie’s life either physically or emotionally and I think smashing a rejection in his face will be a small win for me. I have planned on how I will reject Richie, I am not going to do it in private, I will do it in public so everyone will know that Richie Maranzano is not every woman’s dream. Oh lord! This is going to be interesting, I can’t wait to do that. I have finished dressing up for work and was admiring myself as I apply red lipstick. "Rachel," Rebecca says walking into my room "Why are you up so early," I say looking at her through the mirror"We need to talk." "You broke up with your boyfriend didn’t you?" I asked turning back to look at her. I won’t be surprised if she did. "Not yet and it’s not even about me, it’s about you." She pointed at me "Those my lips look good?" I pout closing the lid of the lipstick."Oh wow! Is that red or nude?" She asks suddenly interested in what I’m say
"Is that what you want?" Rebecca asks through the phone as we're on a video call.A few minutes after I accepted Richie’s proposal, my phone starts to blast with calls, most were unknown numbers so I didn’t pick them up. The only call I picked up was Rebecca’s. She was beyond surprised and I am too. I didn’t expect to accept Richie’s proposal but here I am with a ring on my finger. "I don’t know, I was so confused at that moment and when I saw that evidence all I can think about is exposing Richie. And the only way I could think of is getting engaged with him." I say"I just feel like I will be able to get information and so many things about him now that I’m his fiancé." I continue "Well, you’re right on that but are you really sure about this? I just don’t want you to regret what you did.""I don’t know if I’m sure but even if I’m not sure about this, there is no going back. I have the ring on my finger and I did say yes.""That’s true. Anyways congratulations Richie Maranzino’s fi
