Evangeline, The Wish Of The Mobster 74
Allegra was exceptional. In all areas. In swimming, in music, in writing, in school debates... everything. She is the kind of child who strives to be brilliant and accepts no less than that. A grade nine will never be good enough, because ten is perfect. And that wasn’t because of pressure from your mother, or because your grandfather was an amazing lawyer. While Evangeline thought she should drop the books a little and play more, the girl thought the opposite. The day she needed some cardboard boxes to make a model, Evie said that in the attic there were some and she could go there to choose. The girl was almost finished, when she found a small shoe box, full of memories. She abandoned all the others and sat down, looking at all those things. It had an old cell phone, an opera bracelet, a box with earrings and diamond string and many photos. Evangeline alone. Evangeline with Felippa. And Evangeline with a man whose blue eyes shone as bright as Allegra’s when she was seeing someth
Evangeline, The Wish Of The Mobster 75
Retracing the path she imagined never to take again, Evangeline felt that her heart would come out of her mouth at any moment. Because she had no idea that Allegra knew about Alec and was probably seeing him again. As soon as she reached the gate of the mansion, she did not hesitate to enter. Howard was finishing washing the car when he saw her go through the big iron bars. "Is it a mirage?" he jokes as soon as she approaches. "Evangeline?” "Hi, Howard. How long.” "I just won’t hug you, because...” The driver’s phrase was lost when the redhead approached him and hugged him. Years passed, but she still saw him as a fortress. "I thought I’d never see you again." Howard says, squeezing his arms around her. "Even more so here.” "Yeah... I didn’t expect to come back here either, but my daughter...” "Daughter?” "Long story." Evie sighs, walking away from Howard. "Is he there?” Howard nodded in the affirmative and motioned for her to accompany him. Evie took a deep breath
Evangeline, The Wish Of The Mobster 76
Allegra was sitting on the couch, waiting for her mother to recover from what had happened at the Castello mansion. When Evangeline feels comfortable, she leaves the kitchen and goes to her daughter. Before sitting down, she asks only one question: "How did you know?” “It started when I learned about genetics in school. There’s no way your green eyes, with Dad’s brown eyes, make my blues.” Evie smiles from the side. Although she is terrified that Allegra discovered it and went after the truth alone, she rejoiced at the cunning of the girl. "So I found a box with some souvenirs and saw his picture. Alec. The blue eyes... I remembered that you had become very emotional to see that same man in a news on TV.” Evangeline recalls that feeling. Upon hearing Alec’s name, related to an exchange of gunfire at a prostitution club, she was terrified. It was the first time she heard his name, after all these years, and she still had a chance that he was hurt. That same day, all the doubt
Evangeline, The Wish Of The Mobster 77
Knowing that Evangeline was in town and that they had a daughter together was torturous for Alec. Especially since Audrey wouldn’t let him near them. Not before Antony’s birthday. And it made him a little terrified. Alec missed Evangeline and having her with him, but it was not because ten years had passed that the dangers had disappeared. After Blake died and Alec took over all the business, he was targeted by his way of acting without caution. The day the club suffered the police beat, Alec managed to escape through the roof, but ended up hitting his head on an iron bar he had not seen. He was unconscious for hours and confided in Howard that he had had a dream at the time. Alec saw himself in an open, flowery field, alone, until a carriage approached. Evangeline would get out of that carriage and walk to him, with a beautiful smile on her face. He said that she said nothing, but that when they kissed, he had the feeling of a happy ending being sealed. The vast garden of the

And when Alec bumped into her body and made them both fall, that’s exactly what happened. Half the party stopped happening and kept staring at the two ex-lovers on the floor. "Jesus, Alec!" Evie grumbles, feeling a twinge in the back of her head. “Don’t you look where you’re going?” "Not when it comes to you.” They were so close that only the wind would be able to pass through that miserable space. Alec gasped, controlled the absurd urge he felt to attack Evangeline’s lips and stood up, reaching out to her. Evie struck Alec’s outstretched hand and stood up alone, running her hand through the dress then. "What triumphal entrance. " Audrey mocks, approaching Evangeline. "Are you okay?” "Aside from the excruciating pain in the back of my head and all these strange people staring at me, I’m fine.” "Sweet as a lemon." the blonde laughs, hugging Evangeline. "I’m very happy for you to be here.” "You and Allegra know how to be too persuasive." Evie narrows her gaze to Alec, wh

"Oh my God..." Evie murmurs, coming out of Alec’s arms. "That’s not how I imagined this conversation.” "Funny... I was hoping we’d mess up the table one more time.” Evangeline suppresses the laughter and hides her face in her hands. Alec approaches and takes her hands, making her look at him. "I love you. Shall we start again?” "Alec, there’s a lot open. Allegra and I have a life in London. You can’t think that just one kiss will make me drop everything.” Alec held his face with his hands and pulled gently closer to him. Her lips met in a soft kiss, which gradually became more intense. They gave in to sensation, their bodies approached as they kissed. Evangeline could feel her heart pounding in his chest as her hands ran down her back. The kiss continued, seeming to last for an eternity as they got lost in the sensation. When they finally broke the kiss to breathe, their faces were still close, their eyes meeting in an emotional look of emotion. "Does two solve?" Alec

Sophie opened her mouth at no time, as she had Dominique as her spokesperson. "What did you think? That Alec would be alone for the rest of his life?" Even if Evangeline didn’t say anything, Dominique distilled his poison. "Quite the contrary! After searches and more searches, he finally found Sophie. The perfect woman for him!” The last thing Evangeline wanted and needed was a fight with Dominique. She just looked at Alec and sighed. "I’m leaving.” "No, Evangeline... wait.” Evangeline lifted the hem of the dress and literally ran away from those three. Alec took a deep breath and decided to solve those problems, before going after his great love. "What the fuck are you doing here?” "It’s my grandson’s birthday. I’d never miss it.” "I’m not talking to you, Dominique." Alec’s hard, cold stare was landing on Sophie, who tried uselessly to hide behind Dominique. "I don’t care what you do or don’t do with your life.” "Wow, son... what...” "Answer me, Sophie. What the

"I wanted to stay more in New York." Allegra grumbles when they both leave a taxi outside her London building. "I didn’t know anything I’d like.” "Mom has a lot of things to sort out around here. New York and everything you still want to know will be there when we get back.” "Alec, too, huh?” Inside the elevator, Evangeline looks at her daughter, who had a mischievous smile on her lips. She did not want to give any false hope to the girl, so she just limited herself to smiling and shaking her head. As soon as they both entered the apartment, Evangeline dropped her suitcase by the door and removed her shoes. "I’m going to my room!" Allegra says, already up the stairs with her belongings. "I have so many things to tell Olivia.” "Without much detail, Allegra. Our life is nobody’s business.” "Not even my own?” Evangeline feels that her heart will come out of her mouth, with the fright she took. She turned and found herself leaning against the door leading to the kitchen,
