MALAYINA May 16th 2018   We sit in silence for what seems like a lifetime, the sound of the ceilings fan rotating in the air, can be heard, the faintest similarity to the sound of a small helicopter rotor blade slicing through the air. And, I sit patiently, waiting for him to give me a little history lesson about what went down between our families and how the war officially started.  "For many generations, our families have been at odds; it was once believed that my ancestors murdered one of yours and took the empire for themselves." He began, his eyes dancing on the carpet as he pondered. "Before there was a king and his right-hand man between our families, our Mafia kingdom was formidable, indestructible, armoured with the best as they were dominated by two leaders who shared a common philosophy." He leans forward, resting his elbows on the tops of his knees, his hands dangling as his expensive watch casts hues of light of

LISA May 16th 2018   The darkness has always been my prefered hiding spot, insulating me from reality. It's my quiet space where I can sit back and ponder about my life choices till I gradually begin to feel myself submerging from the darkness that refuses to hold me captive for much longer. There is no agony or anguish, no one whispering sweet nothings in my ear, and no need for me to attempt to please everyone without putting my feelings first. This is where I want to be, this is where I feel most secure. I murdered a man, assisted in disposing of his body, and allowed Layla to steal Chad's money; karma definitely caught up with me. Jimmy, when I think about him, my heart sinks; he was the first and only man I ever loved apart from my father and brother. Things were amazing between us at first; I truly believed he was my forever, and I loved him with every fibre of my being at the time. I'm glad I walked in on him with Nicki. Sh

MADDIE May 16th 2018  I walk through the entrance doors to the club, the familiar feeling of belonging stains my soul and hardens my heart.  I gave my everything to this place only to be tossed out like a sack of garbage!  I have never felt so humiliated in my life and it takes a lot to embarrass someone like me with no morals embedded into my DNA.  I groan as I move down the corridor towards Chad's office, pulling out the pocket knife I had concealed between my breasts, flipping out the blade and I masterfully stab it into the wall, dragging it as I continue to make my way to my destination. By the time I reach Chad's office, picking the lock,  my hand is covered with flakes of paint, a trail has also been left in my wake and I patiently wait for the two face bastard to show up as I recline in his office chair with my feet on his desk.  Twenty minutes pass, he hasn't shown up and already I'm start

LAYLAMay 16th 2018 I inhale deeply as I open the police station's door and approach the front desk with shaking limbs and a beating heart."Hello," I say quietly as my voice comes out in a hushed tone. "Excuse me," I remark a bit too loudly, and the cop behind the computer raises his eyes to mine with a dissatisfied grimace.He moans as he strains to exit his seat, taking off his spectacles, and as he approaches me, he picks up his paper cup and takes a big gulp from it."Well?" He replies, squeezing the paper cup in his palm and peering at me with his stormy grey eyes."Very intimidating," I remark sarcastically. "May I speak with the head of the homicide department?" I request emphatically.The officer replaces his spectacles on his face as he moves the mouse across the computer screen, his face carved with a deep scowl."That is Detective Evie; she has stepped out for a moment, but if you wish to-""I'm

CADDIEMay 16th 2018 "What are you doing here woman?" He questions in a rich velvety tone drenched in his thick Greek accent.My entire body is a tingling mess and I doubt I will ever get tired of staring at his beautiful face.His sun-kissed skin is a dream come true for all pale women, like me.He has a crew-cut hairstyle that accentuates the scar that extends from the shell of his ear to the nape of his neck.He has gorgeous almond-shaped eyes that captivate me as his luscious lips curve upward into a jaw-dropping smirk. I quickly realise he is fully aware that he is sexually affecting me.And to be honest, I couldn't give a rats ass."Thisavrós!" (Treasure!) He snaps.I shake the fog of eye-fucking him from my head and I clear my throat as I step towards him."I came here to see, Mal. I'm worried about her, Vanko." Distress laces my words. "Please, I just want to see how she is. You don't ha
