~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

Edwina "Hmmm," I respond turning to face Raffaele who takes slow calculated steps in my direction. "Are you okay Tesoro?" asks Raffaele his piercing gaze staring into mine. "Yeah I am," I say trying my best to eliminate any form of emotion present on my face. "Bullshit," growls out Raffaele gripping my chin in his fingers to face him, my breath hitching in the process. "I have been standing observing you for a while and you looked lost in your thoughts. Talk to me Tesoro," says Raffaele his thumb running over my lower lip, my body shivering at his touch. "Don't act as your care," I grit out defensively causing Raffaele's grip on my chin to harden. "Why do you have to be so infuriating Tesoro?" growls Raffaele his face hardening. "Why do you have to be such an ass?" I retort back challengingly and Raffaele suddenly lifts me onto the kitchen counter my glass of wine crashing to the ground in the process, the red liquid spreading everywhere on the floor as a sudden gasp leaves my

Edwina After I met with Mr Black, I had to rush back to the office to do a few things with Alexxis. The day eventually comes to an end as Alexxis helps me clear up the papers on my desk. "Alexxis, can I ask you something?"I say as she continues to arrange my paperwork neatly for me. "Sure," she says puzzled at what I am going to say. "The other day Krys told me that you hooked her up with Alessandro, "I tell her and she laughs saying, "Yeah, I did consider she didn't give me a choice if I did not. She wanted to know where to find you that morning" Krys can be quite the demanding one sometimes and I chuckle saying, "So do you and Alessandro talk?" "Not really, I haven't heard from him these past few days," she sighs and I can tell it is something that bothers her. "Want to talk about it?"I ask and Alexxis sighs, "There's nothing to talk about Edwina, nothing is going on between us anyway." "Okay," I say standing up and picking my bag with me and walking to the door when I had my
