Semua Bab A Mafia's Dark Desires: Bab 21 - Bab 30

I changed into a tank top and sweatpants when I heard my phone ringing. When I picked up my phone, I noticed an unfamiliar number. I replied after hearing Emily on the other end of the line."Ava, dear," she said, terrified.I became concerned; had Andrew left again? Was Dalia all right? "Is everything all right, Emily?" I inquired."No, Ms. Jayson is hospitalized." Emily stated"Oh my God, is she all right? " "What happened?" I asked."It's fine right now, but Andrew isn't answering his phone, and someone needs to keep an eye on Dalia." She responded"Of course, I'll be right over; where are you?" I inquired."Lexon Hill Hospital," she explained."All right, I'll be right over there; everything will be fine." Assuring her, I said.I hung up the phone and changed into jeans and a sweatshirt. I flagged down a taxi and waited impatiently for us to arrive at the hospital. I threw some bills at the driver and dashed into the hospital.I approached a woman working behind a desk ."Please e

Ava's POV"Andr-"I flinched as he wrapped his arm around my waist, but then relaxed. His arms wrapped tightly around me, and when he drew me closer, I felt safe.His presence was soothing and enticing, and everything I had feared seemed to vanish when I was in his arms. When I looked up, his eyes were looking down at my lips, his face only a few inches away from mine. He reached out his hand and ran his thumb across my bottom lip.His lips locked with mine before I could say anything else. I couldn't take his lips off mine, I couldn't move because I was frozen.His lips continued to explore my mouth, and I kissed him back when I realized I wanted him. Our previous kiss was aggressive and angry, but this one was passionate and soft. Everything around us vanished, the noise, the commotion, and it was just him and me in this moment.He pressed his lips against mine and his arm around my waist. I carefully placed my hands in his hair, not wanting to repeat what had happened the previous

Ava's POVEven though Veronica had just been discharged from the hospital, she was determined to return to work today.I was nervous on my way to work. Would Andrew and I just resume our normal lives, or would he let me in? I exited the subway and walked to Jayson's house. I admired the black roses as long as the guards let me, and they never cease to amaze me with their simple beauty. I walked past the roses and inhaled their strong scent."Good day, Emily. " Emily opened the door for me and let me in, I said."Good morning, sweetheart." Emily said as she drew me into a hug."How is Veronica doing?" I inquired, releasing Emily."She recovered quickly and is ready to work; she left early, so Dalia is in the kitchen." She responded."All right, how about Andrew?" I inquired, hoping he would be present."He also left early, darling." She stated.I couldn't decide whether I was relieved he wasn't home or wished he was. I wanted to talk to him, but I was afraid that our previous interacti

I returned my gaze to the man and gave him a small nod; I still wanted to kill him, but I had to do it in my head."And when we get to your house, me and you are going to have a long ass conversation." Ava mumbled something.Ava began to walk towards the apartment, and I placed my hand on her back, signaling to Travis that she was mine.She felt my hand and shoved it into my chest, which surprised me, but I knew she was mad at me. "Don't." She said coldly.When he saw us, the driver got out of the car and opened the door for me. I motioned for Ava to come inside, expecting a fight, but she did so and waved goodbye to her "friend."I ignored her silence for the duration of the car ride. I knew she was upset with me for what I did, but I didn't care because she was mine now and no one else could have her.When we arrived at my house, I noticed her stunned expression. I got out of the car and considered opening her door, but she had already exited before I could make a decision.We enter

"Hello, this is Congressman-""I don't care, I need you to get some of my men out of jail.""Pardon me? Who exactly is this?""It's six. Now I need you to help me with some business."Six is my street name, what most people know about me, and what I use to threaten people."I'm not doing any business with you; I'm calling the cops.""If I were you, I wouldn't do that." I was bored out of my mind, I explained. Couldn't people just figure out what I was doing and say, "Yes sir?" I hated how many times I had to pull the family card."Pardon me? "I'm finished with this phone call.""What is your daughter's age?" She appeared to be about five years old to me and your wife, I think blondes are attractive, she should dye her hair." I was thinking about my new favorite hair color when I said this.Brunette"W-what?" He stated."If you don't do exactly what I say, I'll kill your family." I responded by threatening everything he cared about."O-okay..." He finally spoke up."There will be three
