Semua Bab Sins of The Mafia: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Sienna I walked in on one of my favorite coffee bars, tucked away in the corner of the street. It was one block away from my apartment and was always on my way to the ER. As soon as I pushed open the door, I felt like I was embraced warmly by the ambiance; the scent of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the faint sweetness of the pastries. The warm lights gave the cafe an ethereal and cozy glow. I ordered my usual honey cinnamon latte and sat on the far right corner near the bookshelves. My shift was due to start at around 9 and I had 30 minutes to kill so picked up a book on Greek mythology from the shelf while I waited for my coffee. It was a kind of place where book lovers handed out their well-loved books for this cafe, where people can exchange their recommendations and get to explore new genres. This cafe has been running for a little under a decade hence the shelves increased to hold onto the new books. The barista, Jamie, handed me my cup with a knowing smi

Sienna“So what apartment are you staying in?” I asked Nico as I set the last utensil on the table, we were sitting on my dining table. Having the food we brought along with Chinese that Nico ordered for himself. It was probably a bad combo but we didn’t care. Although the aroma around was quite appetizing, considering our stomachs were caving in. “Actually…I’m right across from you.” He said sheepishly scratching his neck.“Huh, we’re literally neighbours and I'm meeting you just now?!” I exclaimed, it wasn’t that I did not meet him sooner, it was just that i never saw him on this floor- usually during the times i was leaving for work. This seemed kind of odd but I brushed it off. Staying with Adrian has made me paranoid at everything.“Ah yes, well I'm usually not around and when I am, I'm setting the apartment up,” he replied as he stuffed his mouth with a too hot dumpling, immediately wincing but still chewing through the pain. And tears. “Oh, I do see you during the mo

Lucien When I entered my penthouse, I saw Nico already sprawled over the couch playing some game on his phone, giving it his full attention. He glanced up as I entered, grunted to greet and went back to his game. I grabbed a glass of water and took a seat across from him as I snagged my tie off. I hate wearing these things. I had a meeting with other heads who worked beneath me. I have to show I’m responsible with my whole body so they can respect me. This is where I went different from my fathers approach. Where he only commanded fear, I commanded fear and respect both. “Anything happened that I should know about?” I asked Nico while taking a sip of water, trying to keep my eagerness hidden. “Huh? Oh yeah, gimme a minute, gotta finish this leve-” I reached out and ripped the phone from his hand as my patience is very limited. A part of me wanted to rip his neck instead. “Hey!” He protested as I threw his phone on the other end of the couch. He sighed in defeat be

SiennaI wonder what they’re not telling me, I’ll have to ask Adrian. Aunt Gia got up when I entered the room, came towards me and gave me a hug. Her embrace was just like I had remembered, being engulfed by the warmest intentions. No sign of the conversation they were having earlier. “Look at you all grown up!” She said with a wide smile. Aunt Gia was pretty young, She was only 14 around the time I was born. She was more of a big sister back then before dad restricted her visiting. “You just saw me 2 years ago.” I laughed at her absurdness. It felt good being in her arms again after so long, reminding me of my childhood. “Let me tell the servants to set the table now that everyone’s here.” Mom said to no one in particular and left. “Well you’re different every time I see you, you can’t blame me.” She said as she pulled me to make me sit beside her on the couch. “Now tell me what’s going on. I visited in the morning when you weren’t here.” She cont

Sienna It was Saturday and Ava was over at my house so we could go over to Nico together. “Eww rats.” Ava scrunched up her nose after I told her about the last conversation I had with Nico. “Ava you’re such an ass, he has to earn a living some way. I thought you liked him?” I asked as I took the cookies I baked out from the oven and set them on the counter to cool. “I did but a person’s job describes them too.” Ava murmured while leaning on the counter sniffing the cookies. One bad thing about Ava? She gets the ick way too fast. It happened in the past, she’ll like someone one day and next, forget all about them because of something small they did “Don’t say anything embarrassing when we get there, you don’t have to like him but he’s my neighbour so be respectful.” I warned her before putting the cookies on a dish to take them across. We wore our shoes and left, standing in front of Nico’s door. I rang the bell with my free hand and waited for th
