Chapter 18
Maria’s date was a reasonably handsome, though quite slim and tall man. He had brought her roses and immediately begun with the compliments which had made Maria blush, as they stood in the entrance to the mansion engaging in small talk whilst her mother hovered.
“Tony, do you think she loves him?” Tommy whispered to the capo who chuckled a little and ruffled the young ones hair.
“No Tommy, she just met the guy” he scoffed, though his eyes didn’t offered the same light heartedness his voice did. He could see how easily she fell into conversation with a man also from her world, how he made effortless jokes that she seemed to enjoy, throwing her head back a little as she laughed politely. Tony felt a surge of feeling inferior and being alarmingly aware of his lack of education and worldly experiences.As Tommy seemed to get uninterested in the proceedings, he sauntered off to bed whilst Tony trailed to his car. They would travel sepaRelated chapters

The date had dramatically gone downhill since the start, she had noticed the smug look on Tony’s face when it became evident that Richard had ordered for her which she took as a forewarning of his feelings about women having their own opinions and was boring her as the night wore on. Maria couldn’t wait for it to be over, a waste of a pretty dress. Letting out a sigh, it seemed her date had tuned into her mood and agreed they should call it a night.As soon as he saw them rise to their feet, Tony rushed onto his own, relieved the evening was over. He had spent way too much of his time watching Maria, thinking about just how amazing she looked with her hair over her shoulder in that way, how that hair might look splayed out behind her over a pillow or similar. It was not good for Tony to spend this much time with her all dolled up.“Thank you for a lovely evening” Maria offered softly as her and Richard heading back to the

It was a timely nine am when Tony rapped his knuckles against the LeTale door, thanking their housekeeper as she let him in.“Tony” the petite redhead almost purred at him in greeting, make Tony awkwardly chuckle not really noticing that Maria had already appeared on the stairs and clocked the exchange.Dressed in a pair of flared burgundy trousers and matching jacket with a black strap top that didn’t hide her cleavage as much as her mother might prefer, Maria warily eyed the way the housekeeper was looking over at Tony. As if they shared a secret, or a past even. The woman was quite young and Maria couldn’t help but wonder if the housekeeper were much older than herself, which inevitably led to thinking about Tony’s wife. He still hadn’t mentioned her and Maria didn’t know whether to be offended that he didn’t seem to think it mattered. Was that because his personal life was none of her business and this was just a bit of harmless flirtation or was he purposefully harbouring the tru

“I didn’t do what I did ‘cos I was working, Maria” he told her gently, as her eyes finally moved up to meet his. “Y-You didn’t?” she stammered, swallowing hard as she hoped he couldn’t hear the pounding of her heart against her chest because it felt so strong that she feared he might.“Course not, I’m not a complete a**hole, no woman deserves to be treated like that.” He paused slightly “Maybe the knife was because it was you, I probably wouldn’t have pulled the knife out for just anyone” he added with a slight what-he-hoped-was-reassuring smile.How did he manage to make pulling a knife out sound almost sweet?“Its just…” Maria started, sighing again as she wrinkled her nose up. “The first guy to kiss me in a long time and it’s like that and with some absolute jerk who is just honestly the opposite of what I want.” She told him, her soft vo

Tony stayed silent until he heard Maria get in the car, looking down on Jerry who was lulling in and out of consciousness. What was it about Maria and not wanting violence, didn’t she realise the business they were in? Didn’t she understand what Jerry had been hinting at?“You’re f**ked” Jerry spluttered, blood in his mouth as he did so yet he still managed a bleak laugh. “I ain’t never seen you look at someone in that way,” Jerry coughed through his laugh, “He will kill you Tony” the man warned him gravely.Tony tensed slightly, his brow furrowed as he looked towards the door where Maria had left moments before.“It was a slip” he told Jerry gruffly, “I’m not an idiot, I know shes off limits. She’s just so damn interesting… not to mention beautiful and she had a rough night, shes hurting” Tony grumbled in an explanatory way, standing up from his position of straddling Jerry to hold him to the ground.“Are you going to tell him?” he asked Jerry point blank, his hand resting on his gun

“Most definitely this one”Maria’s breath haltered slightly at his words as a slight blush spread across her cheeks. She felt…giggly. That was the last thing she wanted to be considered as, a foolish young giggly girl. Tony’s playful attitude towards her, tinged with the danger she knew he could cause, had Maria wanting to prove just how grown up she was. Her mind strayed to that first day when he’d told her that no-one needed reminding she was all grown up, her heart beating a little faster. Would they pick up where they’d left it earlier once they were in his apartment? Shaking her head she realised Tony had stopped the car and was holding the door open for her.“Miss LeTale” he said politely and in an almost clipped voice as she started to gracefully slide out the car. Her brow creased slightly, why the sudden drop in temperature and pick up of her title? Tony’s light eyes looked into hers, with purpose, as she caught his gaze and she realised they weren’t alone. Someone was here

The sensory deprivation of the cloth bag was disorientating Maria as the car rallied through the city, going God knows where. She could hear gun shots, mostly firing from the car she was in. Instantly, Maria knew it was because they knew she was in there. The odd swerve of the car told her that whichever of the LeTale soldiers were chasing them had been ordered to be cautious of shooting at the vehicle Maria was travelling in.She was breathing quite quickly, trying not to go into full blown panic mode but they had been driving at least 15 minutes and she still had no clue whether the body next to her was alive or not, whether it belonged to Tony or someone else. She should have shot Ricky when she had the chance, Carlos seemed much easier to evade. Now was the time to gather herself, she had to be strong, she was going to have to negotiate herself out of this mess. She stiffened sharply as she felt the body beside her shuffle a little and then she felt it, the lightest touch from a
Daddy's Capo Introduction
The LeTale family had never been witness to so much unease around their future. Coming from generations of fierce, fearless leaders they had long dominated their city and didn't often come up against the competition in any of their excursions.That was until recently. The Luca family were a young but fast-growing community that were beginning to become more than a nuisance to the LeTales. Not only were they interrupting their areas of business, but they were also intruding onto the LeTale turf, trying to scare LeTale associates and, most aggravatingly, seemed to be out to cause trouble with family members. Damon Letale had a simple no-hassle policy on his turf and his response was always the same. One Strike.You got one strike, he forgave once and then he washed his hands of you and the responsibility of what happened to you. Mercy had no place in a busines- like theirs, family was everything and if you worked for Don Damon then his family had better top yours in yo
Daddy's Capo Chapter 1
Tony drove the car towards the LeTale estate, the silence seemed to be cutting into him somehow."You probably don't remember me, but I met you before you left for England," he told her, in the tone adults tend to use on children they didn't really know. Maria's eyes glanced over him, the way he was shifting slightly in his seat showed that he felt nervous somehow. She wondered if he felt bad because of what she was here to endure if he felt worried that she'd seen his eyes trail up her body earlier. "I was just advancing from a soldier then, I drove you to school a couple of times" he pressed on, almost desperate to defuse the air between them. His steely eyes darted to her leg again as he very carefully attempted to ensure he didn't touch it as he changed gears."And tell me, Mr Calcolo, when you were driving me to school did you also have a fascination with my legs or is that a privilege saved for me now that I'm a big girl?" her eyebrow arched, her teeth grazing her
