All Chapters of The Mafia's Queen: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Jessica’s POV I walked into business class with a scowl on my face.Unfortunately, it was that time of the month again, and Mother Nature chose this morning to welcome me with it.I sagged sloppily in my usual seat and drew a palm across my face. I had placed my head on the table, trying hard not to groan in pain from my stomach's persistent burning.Sometimes I despised being a woman.My head lifted slightly to look over when I heard the chair beside me move. When I saw Dominic sink in the chair next to me, my gloomy mood lightened a little.To adjust himself, he fell back in his chair, spreading his legs and raising his body slightly. He ran his hand through his hair before looking over at me, and the searing ache in my gut shocked me again. I flinched and turned away.I grumbled to myself subconsciously about how inconsiderate my stomach was being right now as I threw my head back between my crossed arms on the table.The professor's words drew me away from my complaining, and I s

My hands moved in unison with the brushes I held between my fingers. Blues, blacks, and gold are used in the dabs, swirls, and strokes. My eyes glided over the artwork as I hummed along to the lyrical song.I took in the navy blue, starless sky. Then drifted towards the few glowing buildings in sight, the two silhouettes seated on the ledge of the high brick wall.One was taller and more muscular, while the other was shorter and dainty, and her hair was blowing in the breeze.Ice cream was held in both hands, and the smaller figure was leaning against the muscular one as they gazed out into the city.The recollection of my first date flashed through my head, and my lips wept into a small smile.The sound of my phone ringing jolted me out of my trance, and I looked down to scan the caller, only to see an unknown number on the screen.I frowned as I pressed the green button on the screen and held it to my ear."Hello?""Jess,"My heart was racing as I listened to his deep voice on the p

Jessica’s POV The car came to a complete stop just in front of the glowing mansion.My gaze swept over the open doors and the dozen guards stationed at each entrance.Men and women were gilding both inside and outside the residence and were all dressed elegantly.I dragged my gaze away from the structure as the vehicle doors opened. Warren motioned for me to take the lead and I did so.I thanked the driver and stood to the side once I was out. I kept an eye on the cars as they arrived at the scene, exactly as we did.Warren placed his hand on the small of my back and led us to the entrance, where a few people were passing through.I looked back to check if my parents and Uncle had arrived yet, only to see their car approaching through the gates.We both stood outside the entranceway, waiting for them. The guards gave us a suspicious look, and I just smiled innocently, hoping they wouldn't question us.My mother stepped out of the car first, followed by my father, who wrapped his arm

Jessica’s POV The strong forbidden temptation to grab Dominic and drag him into a room was likely to happen, as my wavering eyes glared at the floor beneath me.Fewer girls swarmed around him like fucking leeches; their ogling went unnoticed by him, but I'm sure the men by their sides noticed just like I did.I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't notice the voices speaking to me until I was nudged to the side.My gaze shifted to the man next to me, my father glanced at me weirdly with questioning eyes.I straightened up and looked over at the woman in front of us who was talking to my mother."What's wrong?" My father asked quietly.I'm sexually frustrated that's what's wrong.I cleared my throat once and shook my head, "Nothing's wrong,"He turned his head towards me and looked at me with a menacing glare that often makes me nearly shit myself."Is someone bothering you, Jessica?""No, I'm just bored," I said, shaking my head quickly and looking down at my empty glass.I h

Jessica’s POV Dominic was the first to go, and I waited sixty seconds before following him.The room was still brightly lit. When I returned to the main room, my parents had told me that we would be leaving in about an hour.I groaned internally at that. If I didn't get to spend any more time with Dominic, I was preferably ready to leave. The only time I seemed to enjoy myself was when I was with him.My feelings for him grew stronger. And the long denial of the feelings I was developing for him had finally worn off.Yes, I was scared. I was scared he'd hurt me, leave me, or worse, simply not want me. I was scared he wouldn't feel the same way I did, that he wouldn't match my feelings for him.But I suppose I'd have to take that risk.Risk the heartbreak I'd feel if he didn't want me or because he didn't feel the same way. I wasn't prepared for it, but at least I would know what was coming.And I was willing to risk all the heartbreak and suffering, for him.That last hour went by pa
