Elegantly Wasted Chapter 7
~Edwina~ I wake up to the bell ringing as it sounds across the penthouse floor and I groan wondering who the hell it is. I pull myself out of bed dragging myself downstairs opening the door to a well dressed Raffaele? "What the fuck, "I whisper to myself as he brushes past me walking inside like it's his house. "Good morning to you too Tesoro, "he says in his usual deep sensual voice. I shut the door puzzled why he was here after what happened last night. "What do you want Raffaele?"I say and he stares at me intensely saying, "There's something we need to discuss." "Couldn't we just discuss it somewhere else other than here with me looking like shit, "I say walking to the kitchen and turning on the coffee maker? "No it's important," he says through gritted teeth my coffee already ready as we walk to the living room. "Well?," I ask after a long moment of him staring at me in silence and he goes on, "It's not safe for you here too. Something came up and it happens that Mariano t

~Edwina~ "Tesoro, "comes Raffaele's hardened voice as I continue to sit on the kitchen island. "What?"I ask icily and his jaw hardens and he says, "You can use my room for the nights you'll be here." "Sorry but I enjoy my personal space, "I reply sassily and he says, "That shouldn't be a problem, I have a lot of work to do" "I'm sure you do, "I mutter and he walks away leaving me to ponder over my thoughts, like what the hell is wrong with him? I get that maybe me being upset about last night is kind of irrelevant but does he still have to be an arrogant ass? I sigh standing up tired of wracking my brain for answers remembering the way to his room from the last time I was here. The room is quite familiar and darkened as I walk in, the famous masculine scent of his in the air. I don't know why but a small part of me wished that Raffaele could be here with me. I strip off my clothes walking to the shower where I take my time and when I'm done that's where the problem begins. I ha

~Raffaele~ "Sorry but I enjoy my personal space," says Edwina glaring my way and I say, "That shouldn't be a problem, I have a lot of work to do." "I'm sure you do," she mutters and I turn away from her walking to my office. I feel quite annoyed and frustrated that Edwina is difficult to handle, sighing as I sit at my office desk. My phone rings and I pick up."Hello Raffaele.""Hello Jas, "I reply smoothly and she goes on, "Just letting you know that the warehouse in Italy is fine. All shipments are up to date and there is no form of shady business in the business's bank account." "How about tonight's shipments?"I ask and she says, "Already being transported to the desired location." "Good," I say proud of her work. Jasmine happened to be in Italy for the past month since she is the one who manages and operates the warehouse in Italy whenever I have business here in New York and judging by our unexpected meeting at the hotel, I presume she had come back recently. Our history goes

~Edwina~ The day finally comes to a close and my muscles just feel sore as Elliot picks me up and I give him directions to Raffaele's penthouse. I notice two black-tinted SUVs following us at a distance and I ask Elliot, "Elliot have you noticed the two black SUVs following us at a distance?" "Yeah I have and they were even parked outside the company building when I arrived to pick you up." "That bastard, "I murmur angrily realizing that Raffaele had got me security detail without my consent. "Problem?" asks Elliot puzzled at my outburst and I give him a tight-lipped smile saying, "No not at all." The ride remains silent the black SUVs still in tow until we reach the building and I get out of the car storming inside the building. I storm through the penthouse door full of rage at the level of this man's disrespect heading straight to his office. "What exactly is wrong with you?"I yell walking through his office doors and finding him seated in his office chair. He doesn't respo

Raffaele After wishing Edwina goodnight, I head back to my office to work my mind going back to Edwina's request to rest the night. I sigh in frustration knowing it's not possible as my phone rings Alessandro's name flashing on it. "There's something you need to see back here at the compound," comes Alessandro's serious voice and I grab my car keys exiting the penthouse leaving Edwina under the protection of her new security detail. The compound is the main base where the mafia operates here in New York and it is filled with all the requirements and heavy machinery needed. I get into my car the engine coming to life as I speed down the driveway. I walk into the underground dungeon specifically designed for holding famous culprits known to the mafia; a separate entity from the main house. The air reeks of blood, urine, faeces, sweat and possible traces of vomit as I walk towards an isolated cell finding Alessandro and a few of my trusted men waiting for me. They all bow in respect

Edwina I woke up in a good mood, getting dressed and ready for the day ahead. I don't see Raffaele at breakfast after last night's events and I can't help but wonder if he decided to skive breakfast with me because of it. Alessandro tells me Raffaele left early in the morning to attend to business but I can't help and feel like he is purposely hiding something from me. I don't push it my mood souring a little bit but what should I have expected, after all, he is Raffaele Marcello, the one man who constantly has all women worshipping at his feet so why would he go for a woman like me? Pushing those thoughts out of my mind, I walk into my office not failing to notice my new security detail at a distance. "What's with all the men in suits?" asks Alexxis puzzled and I sigh saying, "Don't mind about them they are just my new security." "Since when did you have security following around?" asks Alexxis like I've grown three heads. "Trust me, you wouldn't understand if I explained, "I s

Edwina "What do you mean he's dead?"I ask puzzled. "I killed him, Tesoro," says Raffaele in a hardened voice as if calculating my next expression. To say I was shocked that he openly just told me he killed a man was an understatement as I gulp down saliva saying, "Okay" "Okay?" asks Raffaele stunned at my calm composure and I say, "Well you are a mafia boss, I don't expect you to be all rainbows and unicorns." "Your something else," says Raffaele laughing the sound vibrating across the room and it's a sound I could get used to considering the man is always serious and stone-faced. "What about Mariano?"I ask puzzled and he sighs saying, "Well that's exactly what I wanted us to talk about. Tomorrow he and I have a meeting and you are to stay in this penthouse and not leave under no circumstances." "No, I'm not you prisoner Raffaele, "I say my eyes narrowing at him and he clenched his fists and I go on, "I'm coming with you." "Not," he roars and I raise a brow at him saying, "Abs

Edwina The car comes to a stop outside what appears to be a nightclub, the blaring music from inside being heard. Raffaele's personality has changed to the cold ruthless Italian mafia boss in no mood for games as the doors open and Raffaele steps out and I do the same. Raffaele's arms lock with mine and never once does he spare me a glance as we walk towards the nightclub which is littered with all kinds of people. I notice the handful of Raffaele's men dressed in suits as they follow us in silence not forgetting the eyes of people on us as we walk towards the club. Most of the stares were from ladies who glared at me as if I had just stolen their man but I ignore them proud to be by Raffaele's side tonight. There's something in the way Raffaele walks tonight radiating off dominance and power that makes me feel even more attracted to the man as we step into the club, Raffaele pulling me closer to his side. The colourful dim club lights stream in different angles, the smell of dru
