~VITTORIA~The best part about the last few days was that I had recovered extremely fast and had gotten enough bed rest. The worst part about it was that I had not been to work in the last few days either. It wasn't like I had not wanted to do so though. Uncle Quinto had come over to the house the next day and had made Roman promise him I wouldn't go anywhere until I was alright. And of course, Roman was extremely thrilled to make the promise after which the both of them had gone to discuss some things in the kitchen which I couldn't hear about.The previous day, Uncle Quinto had come again but this time with Yara, and I knew he had given her the 'family talk' once more making her follow him to show she cared. And I knew left for Yara, the text she had sent me one of the days was more than enough for her.Roman didn't leave the house often and even when he did, which was usually when I was asleep, he made sure Nicola was there and Nicola had even reported that on two occasions, the tw
~VITTORIA~I settled back into my seat, "So everyone is backing out including the Chemists?""Yes. They said they would if we don't hold a meeting soon." Nicola replied, dropping a file of paperwork on my desk.I hissed. "Ungrateful leeches. We've only been behind meeting with them for a week and they're aware Tiziano who usually does the meeting with them is unreachable at the moment."I rubbed my temples and put the cigarette to my mouth, taking a huge draw. "What is Uncle Quinto saying about it?""The only time a meeting would be possible would be next month. He says you have to finish with the casino and get it in order before having a meeting with them."I sighed loudly. Tiziano being unconscious was putting a lot of work on me and Uncle Quinto. And damn Robert wasn't useful in any way. The chemists who cooked the drugs that were being distributed in our territory were already getting on my nerves and left for me, I would have ended things with them. Not putting into consideratio
~VITTORIA~I turned to look at him, narrowing my eyes at him. Of everything and everywhere I'd thought about, this wasn't even on the list of thoughts.And had he not just spoken about how depressing his day was, like I mean, I was still stuck on his mother's topic and all of a sudden, I was here."My friend just opened here up a few days back. Today is the first show here." He informed me as he put an arm around my waist."The first show?" I asked.He nodded, "Yeah, you're going to love it. C'mon."We handed over our keys and walked inside the building. There weren't as many people outside or going inside. And for people who went inside, I could immediately tell that they were of the same social bracket as us.Getting into the entrance, we were met with a large bar. Everywhere was painted red and black which sort of gave it this sexy, mysterious, and classy chill vibe. I could see not up to five people sitting around there and some were alone while the remaining were paired. Roman l
~VITTORIA~"Vittoria!" Yara called out once more, and a suspicious smile appeared on her lips. "What are you doing here huh?" she asked as she stood in front of me and smiled wider. Roman shook hands with Zaed and exchanged pleasantries. "I don't know, heard grocery prices here are pretty much decent," I replied in a sarcastic tone rolling my eyes at her.She gave me a pitiful look and then focused her gaze on Roman, "How do you cope with your Lilith babydoll, she tries too hard."I heard Roman chuckle and draw me closer to himself, something he's been doing practically all night. "She's cute though so it kind of cancels every other thing. Plus that was actually kind of funny."I smirked and folded my arms then stuck out my tongue at her."You're so lucky he's so much in love," Yara said to me, tucking strands of hair behind her ear."Didn't know you knew Will," Roman said to Zaed which made him shrug. "Eh... Hasn't been long since we got acquainted. But here's fire to be honest."
~ROMAN~I was kissing her, even I couldn't believe it. After this long while which felt like a century. I was kissing her again. It was intimate, desperate, passionate, made me feel like I was losing my mind, and made me to realize how much I missed her all over again.She had her hands on my body for the first time willingly and I loved how her slender body rubbed against mine as she did it. It seemed like she had wanted this just as much as she had said and it felt like she had been holding back all these while just cause of her sister.I took her gently to beside the wall and before her back could even press the wall, I was back to kissing her. I slid my hand cupping one of her large breasts just like I had always wanted to and squeezed it gently through her cloth fabric. I kissed her neck, cheek, ear, anywhere I could, how many times I could before going back to her mouth. I just couldn't get enough of her."Baby doll, you have no idea how much I'd wanted to do this," I told her a
~VITTORIA~I woke up the next morning and reached for my nightstand to check the time with my eyes still closed. I couldn't find it neither could I find my phone and it was only then that I felt someone holding me closely and warm breaths fanning my neck. And it was Roman. The whole previous night flooded my memory and I remained indifferent, trying to make the decision of how I was going to get away quietly without waking him up. The last night was incredible, I admitted and it was something I hadn't seen coming either. I enjoyed it as well but the lingering feeling of guilt I had in me wouldn't fade away for some reason. It was like I was reliving the past all over again, only that Isabelle's death had already kind of happened. I looked over slowly at him and he had his eyes still closed. I took a huge breath before gently taking his hand up and away from me. I had not even started getting up before his hand wrapped around my body and drew me closer to himself again. To my shock
~VITTORIA~The sun rays from the window which crept into the kitchen every morning were starting to make me look forward to drinking coffee on the kitchen counter every morning. And I couldn't lie, I loved it every single time. I had even bought two plants a week earlier and positioned them next to the window and so far, they had been doing quite well for themselves. In addition to Roman always remembering to water them each time. Something I always seemed to forget."You know, you really don't have to come with me to Ontario just for that," I told Roman the next morning as he dropped a coffee mug in front of me after taking a quick sip from it. "I'd just go and be back in a quick while.""Thank you," I added.He dropped a plate of waffles which he had just finished making in front of me too, dropped with his coffee as well before taking a seat in front of me. "I wouldn't want you to miss my presence so much, baby doll." He responded in a casual tone, winking at me.I rolled my eyes a
~VITTORIA~I walked into the sitting room and scoffed, making them notice my presence. Sore enough they weren't happy to see me. Simone was sitting there together with three other men who were from other mafia families of lower rank. They had also been present at the meeting when Bianchi was killed by Roman."Y'all seem to be having a fun conversation," I told them looking from one person to another. And making sure I said it in the rudest tone I could use. "I mean since Tiziano's name was mentioned, it sparked my interest a little bit too much.""Always that damn mouth of hers," One of them spat out giving me a dirty look from head to toe."I told you." Another chipped in, in a low tone."You fuckin-""Vittoria," Roman called out softly, cutting me off and grabbing my hand. I had forgotten he was even there with me."I'll take care of it from here." He assured."Yeah, you better. I wouldn't want to deal with a woman's whining today." The first man commented once more."Say a sentence
