Lahat ng Kabanata ng Forbidden Fruit: A Mafia Love Triangle Romance: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Wondering why I'm pissed off?I'm pissed off at the fact that I had to leave work early just to go shopping.From young, I always had over-bearing parents. Yeah, I love my Mum and Dad…Without them, I wouldn't be here where I am today. With a good job, and a wealthy husband…To anyone on the outside, this would seem like a perfect life.But I've always felt like I've been missing out. My parents were so strict on me growing up. They always expected me to study, not to go out or have fun… Just to be absorbed into my schoolbooks 24/7, every hour of the day.I understood where they were coming from. My dad worked at a factory, and my mum was just a housewife. That was why we struggled with money, and I guessed that was why they had such high expectations of me.So I studied hard. I studied hard, and got amazing grades at sixteen years old.In the summer holidays, everybody else was going out and having fun, but I had to work a full-time job to provide for my mother and father, until I st

“That's right, Sofia,” I muttered. “Drown your sorrows in food like you always fucking do.”I rolled my eyes angrily, tears spilling down my cheeks as I continued to shove the slices down my throat. I wasn’t even hungry, but I was just forcing myself to eat, wishing that I could find comfort in something since my husband couldn’t fucking provide that for me.“Sofia, have you left my food out?” came a voice. “Bitch better not be asleep.”I jolted upwards, shocked that he was at home. I felt my heart hammer against my chest, suddenly burning with nerves. I was still in the underwear from earlier. I quickly put the cake to the side, wiping the crumbs and tears from my face quickly, trying to stop myself from looking like a damn mess.As pissed off as I was at Bruce, I wanted to fix things with him. Make things go back to the way they were.I quickly straightened myself out, composing myself together, ready to seduce him the best I could. Trying to push my upset and miserable emotions to

“Make it up to me when, Bruce?!” I snapped. “You never have time for me anymore. I get so lonely at home all day.” I trailed off my sentence, shaking my head with embarrassment. “Why do you think I spend my nights writing novels? I have nothing else to do.”“Look,” Bruce yawned. “I've got a celebration evening at work today. A ball. You should come with me.”“A ball?” I repeated. “You think I want to go to a ball full of rich snobs, as your trophy wife?”The last thing I wanted to do was go to a ball surrounded by people I didn’t get along with. Surrounded by people who probably thought even worse of me than Bruce did.“Trophy wife?” Bruce snarled, repulsed. “You're acting like you're some sort of model.” He shook his head frustratedly. “All you'll ever be is average at best, babe. But it's good for appearances if you go.” He folded his arms angrily, and I could feel my eyes sting as they began welling with tears again. All Bruce did was criticize my appearance and the way I looked,

It had been so many years since I saw her beautiful face.Even though her back was turned to me earlier…I should have known it was her when I saw her wild, bright red hair as she talked to Riccardo.She looked hotter than ever.Her lips plump and juicy…With her thick thighs, curvy hips and her beautifully sculpted body.I loved meat on my women…And Sofia looked good enough to fucking eat.I loved how she always colour-coordinated her clothes to match her hair colour.Just looking at her was a huge turn-on.The relationship that I had with her was short…Fast.Cut off too soon…But every part of it was real.I never really knew why she left me.She left a hole in my heart when she did…It was like she disappeared off the face of the Earth.I tried so hard to find her…For years and years.Kicking and screaming.Turning the world upside down.Begging my brothers, Pedro, Iglesias and Donte to help me…But I eventually gave up.I lived a criminal, dangerous life, with my family's invol

8arturoI made my way to my apartment balcony, my head feeling like it was splitting open. My whole body on fire, as tears continued falling down my cheeks. Unable to shake Sofia from my damn mind. Unable to stop thinking about her.I looked out at the city skyline. The tall skyscrapers, the river, the roaring engines, the wind lapping in my face, the bright lights, the city life.After all these years…I'd learnt to forget Sofia.Learnt to live without her.I thought that I was doing well on my own…Helping with my brothers businesses.Helping my Pops in his retirement.Making my Mom proud…But the truth was…There had always been a void within me.A void that hadn't been filled.A void that only Sofia could fill.I thought that I was fine…But seeing her again now,Looking hotter than ever,Married and doing well for herself…Was just reminding me of what we could have been.Reminding me of how much I'd lost.Reminding me that I couldn't keep such a phenomenal woman.Her being here
