Edwina Immediately I head out of Raffaele's office I make my way across the house holding my new phone box in my hand. I shake my head in amusement chuckling at how Raffaele loves to spend money on me without a doubt not realizing that Vincenzo is standing right across from me. "Should I be worried that you are laughing by yourself?" he asks amusement shining in his eyes. "Maybe, "I tell him a smirk making its way onto my lips. Vincenzo just smiles at me in amusement making his way around me to head wherever he is going. "Where are you going?"I ask him curious to know where he is headed. "Just headed out to sort out some business," he says not giving me room to respond as he walks further away. I make my way to Raffaele's room where I sit on the bed thinking about what Raffaele's phone call could be about since he was quick to mention that it was nothing when I asked him. "Damn I need to find something to do today, "I murmur to myself sighing in the process when my thoughts ar
EdwinaI remain frozen on the spot my eyes meeting Raffaele's darkened gaze as he winces in the process clutching onto his shirt which seeps blood."Cosa è successo?"yells Eleanora her face morphing into a giant frown as she makes her way son who leans against the counter with Giovanni to his left and Rodriguez to his right."I'm fine madre,"grunts out Raffaele clearly in pain as Eleanora genlty kisses his forehead his green orbs never leaving mine."Thank God you are here the man is as stubborn as they come princessa and only you will be able to help him clean up since he does not want anyone next to him,"comes Alessandro's voice from beside me making my gaze shift from Raffaele to him.I nod my head in response no words being able to leave my mouth as I slowly walk up to Raffaele who stares at me a slight frown on his face. I notice the way Gio nods his head in reassurance as I gently take Raffaele's hand in mine."How about I get you cleaned up,"I tell him softly all eyes on our li
Edwina Tonight is the night. I will have my driver on standby waiting to take to to the airport and make sure to keep Raffaele away from this or someone will die tonight Bellissima. Make sure to do as you are told to avoid someone's blood being on your hands. xx yours truly. Immediately after I read the message on my screen my blood runs cold knowing that tonight is the night I will be leaving Raffaele to protect him and his men. I try my best to regulate my breathing not wanting to have a full-blown full-blowback with Raffaele just a few steps away from me in the shower with no clue in the world to what is going on. "Hey, are you okay?" comes Raffaele's voice drawing my attention far away from my phone screen to see him standing and already dressed as he buttons up his dress shirt. "Yeah, "I force out shutting off my phone screen and tossing my phone away to avoid any suspicions. One thing I have learned from this lifestyle is the art of hiding my emotions to avoid any suspicio
Raffaele Something seems to be disturbing my Tesoro and knowing her I know that she is too stubborn to tell me unless she is ready to talk about it. I cannot help but shake off the feeling that she is hiding something from me and does not want me to find out probably the reason why she has been acting all strange ever since we landed in Italy. One thing about me is that I have been trained to read emotions and feelings and I can tell when someone is lying to me about something she has been doing to me for the past few weeks but I have done my best not to seem bothered while deep inside I feel quite livid. I love Edwina but lying is where I draw the line when it comes to having a relationship with someone and as much as I want to act oblivious to her actions I can't help that feeling in my gut that is telling me that she is indeed hiding something from me. I close the door to our room and make my way down to my office to go through some work calling Gio to join me for a little chat.

~Unknown~ I'm just about to take another sip of my bourbon when a woman walks in escorted by a man dressed in a sophisticated black Armani suit. The man wears a cold hard expression leaving no room for emotion as he accompanies the woman. The woman is dressed in a dark grey mini dress with a wrapped upfront accentuating her hourglass figure. She has a curvilinear waste and saffron tint to her complexion as the dress creates room for a glimpse of her glossy skin. Her obsidian-black hair flows in waves over her shoulders her eyes having a light like sapphires, bright and hard. I recognize her as the youngest member of the Gemstone family; a family quite known for its wealth and prestige. Armando Gemstone and Henrietta Gemstone, the co-founders of one of the biggest corporate businesses in the state, happen to be the parents of the woman who powerfully strides across the floor, Edwina Gemstone. It was not an everyday affair for a member from such a prestigious family to walk into
~Edwina~ The door to my black Rolls-Royce opens as Elliot takes his stand dressed in his usual black suit. He offers me his hand and I take it my feet leaving the comfort of the Rolls-Royce and coming in contact with the pavement. Elliot closes the car door behind me wishing me a good day as he gets back into the car driving away. I can't help but smile at how much I have grown fond of him considering he has been a part of my life for the longest time. Elliot's not much of a people's person and never has been but over the years I have managed to live with that fact. He's been my driver for a while now and is one person who has earned my trust without even trying. I walk towards the prestigious building I call my own, dressed in a fitting black short skirt suit matched with Black Suede Stilleto high heels. My long hair is straightened crashing on my shoulders and I walk through the automatic sliding glass doors. My heels echoed across the glassy but not slippery marble floor as
~Edwina~ I stare at the phone once the line is dead handing it over to Alessandro who takes it. "Who is the man?"I ask still puzzled. "You'll know eventually,' he says dryly and I roll my eyes at him on hearing him call me princess. "Doesn't he ever do business face to face?"I ask trying to picture the man behind the voice I just spoke with. "Why? You already falling head over heels for him?" asks Alessandro amused as a little smirk appears on his face. "So what happens now?"I ask ignoring his snarky comment. "You wait for him to call the shots," says Alessandro like it's an obvious thing. I sigh frustrated that he wouldn't tell me anything more as I stand up leaving the club and getting into the same car that brought me here in the first place. All through the ride, my mind seems to replay the conversation I had with the man over the phone and I have to admit that it was quite a turn-considering how raspy and deep it was. I finally arrive back at my office in time to catch up wi
