All Chapters of The Mafia’s Regret: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Jasper Vivian must be wanting something from me. She’s brought food from my favorite Italian restaurant.. she’s turned on my favorite Adam Sandler movie .. and she keeps on chit chatting about some shit. But my mind is a million miles away. Mostly on my interaction with Emery a few days ago. She looked so utterly beautiful standing there. After not seeing her for six months it was like coming home being able to look at her again. The feelings it stirred up inside me when she opened the door were things I’d never felt before. But clearly she wasn’t feeling the same way. She basically slammed the door in my face and screamed at me. I wish I knew what happened. What changed? It was out of the blue. She used to love me.. I know she did. But I guess I wouldn’t be sitting here wondering if she was still acting the same way. I know I’d been rough on her. I’d done some pretty shitty and questionable things. Shit it wasn’t even that long ago I had accused her of drugging me and setting me

EmeryI had just finished cleaning up my house. Since I’d been back from my trip and I wasn’t having to wait on Jasper I had a lot of free time. I’d edited all my photos and sent them in. And there wasn’t another assignment coming up until the new year. It was fall and my favorite season .. I wanted to be out doing fun things and going to farms and pumpkin patches and haunted houses. I just needed someone to do those things with. Because I had free time Uncle Vincent had asked me if I’d take care of some of the paperwork for a few of our businesses. He said he would pay me.. even though I told him not to. But I had agreed. He’d done so much for me, no way I’d refuse him. Plus I could work from home if I wanted to and do it on my own schedule. So that has been keeping me busy. But tonight I was having company. Bridget was a girl my age that was also in our organization. Well .. her grandfather was. Her dad had been as well but he passed away several years ago. Now she and her mother

Emery The car came flying into the parking lot and skidded to a stop right in the front of the building … where there were for sure no parking places. Well.. at least they knew how to make an entrance. They caused such a commotion the bouncer came out of his little conclave in front of the door to see what was going on. Where were you ten seconds ago buddy? Elijah, Frankie and Oliver piled out of the car. The three guys that had harassed us immediately took a step back.. I don’t know if they even meant to. I couldn’t help the small smile that spread across my face. Now your gonna get it … I thought. The guys eluded danger every where they went. If they weren’t scary to look at, and they were, you could feel it emanating from them. The air changed when they were around. That happened with just one of them. But all three together? The air whipped and cracked, even the bouncer took a step back. They walked up and took one look at us before they jumped into action. Each of them

Jasper I ran my hands through my hair as I walked into my parents house. The last few weeks had done me in. I was constantly on edge and stressed. And things were not getting better. In fact .. they’d gone from bad to worse. I’d heard from several of my men that Emery and Elijah are now dating. He had publicly claimed her as his girlfriend. Not only was that bad for business, it looked bad on me. She was supposed to be my wife. We were engaged. Or we were supposed to be. Now all of our enemies know the alliance is off. Not only that.. I’m fucking livid. Infuriated. And I want to kill that asshole Elijah. Emery is mine. She’s always been mine from the time we were in fucking diapers. Jealousy clawed through me. I felt like my insides were trying to come out through my skin. My nerves were shot and I was beyond on edge. To make matters worse Vivian has lost her ever loving mind. I got her moved into her own apartment but she didn’t go easily. It took a lot of convincing and patience

Emery Things were going great lately. After the episode at the bar I hadn’t been accosted anymore — thank goodness. I was still working for Vincent doing paperwork and taking care of a few financial things for him here and there. I had also decided to open back up a couple of the properties my parents owned. As of right now, I owned one office building that was in use. I rented out the space and got the income from that. And I owned one luxury apartment building that I leased space to a few people. I had sold one property which is where I had gotten the money for my mothers necklace … which that all went to shit. But I still had a few others that were sitting unused at the moment. One was a beautiful home that sat on Peaks Island right in the bay. I had decided to use it as a vacation spot .. so I’d had people going out and getting it ready.. cleaning and turning everything back on and making sure it was in working order. I’d gone out and spent the day there myself. I actually l
