All Chapters of Sinful Vows: The Mafia's Unholy Union : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Chapter 50GuiliaI put my easel and paint brushes away, a huge grin creeping on my face as I stared with satisfaction at the outcome of my work. After that I concealed it with a plain cloth then went on to wash my handsOne week ago, my therapist had asked to have a deep search for what might interest me and spur me into having a positive outlook at life again. I realized that I had a knack for arts; recreating beautiful pieces on a canvas, so I got some painting tools when no one was looking and set out to work.Guess who my first muse was? It was the man that strutted lazily into the room with a sullen look on his face. He crashed on my sofa dejectedly and immediately I ran to him.He took note of me that moment, raising his head, his eyes ringing with an unspoken apology. I sat beside him as he rested his head on my chest.“What happened?” I asked softly.“Nothing,” he replied flatly and then he added when he noticed that I wasn’t buying his response. “It’s nothing I want to bothe

Chapter 52GuiliaThe next place we found ourselves in was the hospital. Igor might have concluded that I was the craziest person on earth to take such an impulsive decision, but for some strange reason, I couldn’t get myself to ignore that man.The fact that he helped me when he knew nothing about me and didn’t have to make it harder for me to overlook his situation.So there I was meandering my way through the hallway on the first floor in search of his ward. It was hard because I didn’t have a name, but then I got a call from the same hospital saying that my number was enlisted as one of the emergency contacts on his phone.Okay, this was getting crazy. Even Igor noticed and called me to the side.“You should be at the therapist’s,” he reminded me, his tone quite stern.“Yes, I know that, but assisting people in need is the best form of therapy for me right now,” I argued.He pinched the bridge of his nose in wariness of my behaviour, but presently I didn’t care. I thought of inf

Chapter 54VladimirThe flower vases I’d thrown across the room littered the floor with shards like colourful balloons on a child’s birthday party. It wasn’t even enough to release the pent-up frustration and indignation rising speedily within me.Another mahogany stool flew straight to the door from my hand and simultaneously my door opened. I halted, taking deep, ragged breaths as I stared at the bruises on my knuckles. I’d punched the wall so hard I packed enough scrapes to last me a lifetime.What hurt was that there’d be no Guilia to worry about getting them cleaned and treated.Dmitri strolled in with the table, caught conveniently by his sharp reflex. But that didn’t mean I wouldn’t have injured him if he wasn’t careful enough.“Is that what you do now? Hurting the people you care about?” he chuckled, but his words pierced my soul like a dagger.“It wasn’t intentional,” I peered at the little drops of blood that had gathered around the bruises. Strangely, they didn’t hurt the w

Chapter 56GuiliaAs the dusk descended, dawn easing its way in, the soft streaks of the morning sun cast a golden hue over the magnificent ocean that stretched abundantly before me. The rich bluish water folded into violent waves, slapping hard against the beach.I wrapped my arms around myself, shielding against the cold breeze that carried the scent of water, sea shells and the coconut trees nearby.The island was breathtakingly beautiful, serene, and perfect for all the devilish ideas Vladimir had whispered he’d carry out here while we were on the plane. Some of them came as surprises like the gorgeous jade bracelet he gifted me upon our arrival, and after that he moved on to eating me up like his favorite candy on the big, soft couch. My inner thighs still throbbed from the endless sex we’d engaged in all night.My body shivered, not only from the memories we’d created, but because of my little-to-none outfit I had on. After taking a shower early this morning, he’d reminded me o

Chapter 58GuiliaI flinched when Vladimir’s voice rumbled behind me. How was he able to get to the door that quickly?Without hesitating, I tucked the envelope into my short, fast and smooth, hoping with all my heart hammering hard against my ribcage that he wouldn’t notice what I did.“You look as if you just saw a ghost? What’s the matter and why are you standing by the door?”My eyes darted around everywhere, but his face. I knew I was acting all suspicious, but it was hard to come up with a lie that would get him off my back.“Ummm… nothing… It’s nothing serious,” I stuttered uncontrollably, my face flushing. “I just thought I heard a knock and went to the door. Apparently, there was no one there,” That was half lie and half truth. Did it make me insincere?He put aside the towel he was drying his hair with, drawing me closer to himself. “The next time someone knocks and I’m stuck in the bathroom or anywhere that isn’t the living room, come to me first,”I nodded absentmindedly,
