All Chapters of The Mafia's Queen: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Jessica’s POV We arrived at the club. Flashing coloured lights filled the crowded room as we passed by the dance floor. My eyes scanned over the individuals grinding their bodies against each other, smiling and heads were thrown back in ecstasy.Edward and Warren were behind us while Adele and I just followed the signs towards the bar.We had gone past a few people from our college, and the club opening tonight seemed to catch a lot of people's attention. The club was right in the centre of our small town, it also had a rooftop where people went up to smoke.I smiled up at the bartender and ordered drinks for the four of us. She smiled back and went over to make the drinks without asking any questions."Fuck, this place is busy," Edward said as his eyes scanned the room.Adele agrees with a hum, her eyes following suit.The venue was bustling, with crowds of small groups of people roaming about doing their own thing.Our drinks were sat down by the bartender, each of us taking our g

Jessica’s POV My eyes fluttered open as my body shook. I opened my eyes and was immediately met with a black-clothed chest. Looking up, I saw Dominic and then looked back down seeing that he had me in his arms.I lifted my head and looked around, noticing it was my own house. He must've made it up the stairs since he lowered his head down to me and nodded towards the corridor."Room?"I turn my head a little and lift a weak finger towards my door, "The second one,"He looked away and walked over towards the room, turning the handle and kicking the door lightly with his foot to open it wider.I closed my eyes as I felt myself being placed on the bed, "Don't lay down," he said nonchalantly.I sigh and sit up, keeping my tired body up on the edge of the bed as I close my eyes again.I jolted up when I felt a hand on my knee, opening my eyes back up again, Dominic knelt in front of me with a white wet cloth in his hands.He peered up at me, his hand reached towards my forehead as he dabb

Jessica’s POV Friday came around very quickly.The week flew past like a gust of wind and my nerves had only risen every passing day.Dominic was gone for the rest of the week. But I was too preoccupied to think about it, due to my thoughts jumbling with the fact that I was going on a literal date with him.I'd only ever gone on one date before. A boy from my sophomore year, we dated for a few months until we both realized we weren't working. We both weren't feeling it, so it was a mutual breakup.Dates and all that other stuff have never been my thing, or at least I've never given it a try. Because whenever I was asked out, they only wanted sex. So, unless I wanted to have some 'fun,' I turned down every guy.To say I'm freaking out would be an understatement.I informed Adele about it, and she stated that she would simply cover for me. The plan was for me to stay the night at Adele's, which will happen after the date, and then return home the next day.This weekend, both our brothe

Jessica’s POV A server had arrived and brought water for both of us. My arms were folded on the table under me, and my ankles were crossed and tucked under the chair as I sat straight in front of Dominic.I tilted my head upwards, and all I saw was a black, starless sky. I grimaced and returned my gaze to the ground, where I began idly tracing my fingers along the table."Can you see the stars in Italy?" I asked him."Mhm," He pulled the glass of water to his lips, "You can see many,"My eyes lit up at his answer, "Really? It must be beautiful," I sigh.I looked back up at him and stared straight into his eyes, "Do you go often?"He stared at me blankly and sank back in his chair, "Couple times a year,"I smiled and leant my chin on my hand, peering down at the table's white cover."What about your family? You mentioned your cousin, do they all live in Italy?"While looking at his hands, the corner of his lips tilted to the sides, breaking the grim expression he was wearing.I was on

However, Dominic's grip on me tightened as he straightened up and drew me against him to keep me from falling."Oh shit Jess, sorry!" Adele's voice exclaimed."It's all right," I replied softly as I turned around. He relaxed his grip on me and gently brought me back to my feet."I'll see you later," He said, brushing his hand over my waist.I gave him a nod and leaned in to kiss his cheek, but before I could catch his reaction, I quickly whirled around and dashed inside.I heard his faded dark laugh when the door closed behind Adele.Adele gave me a strange grin as she turned to face me."What's with that face?" I mumbled to her. As she ran over to me, she squealed giddily and threw her hands in the air."That was so fucking cute, I might throw up," She exclaimed loudly.I blushed and shook my head, allowing my reddened cheeks to be hidden by my hair falling in front of them.Adele wrapped her arm around my shoulder and led the way to her room."You have to tell me everything,"I smil
