Chapter Fourteen: The gift that keeps on giving
The dogtags with his name engraved in the metal were still clutched tightly between her fingers, no matter how many times she went over it in her head, no matter how many times she replayed the happenings of the evening, nothing made sense.
“Excuse me, we’ve been waiting here for news about Lorenzo Lombardi. They wheeled him into surgery a few hours ago and we’re yet to hear anything.” Sapphire smiled sweetly at a nurse that passed by and by the look on the man’s face, he quite enjoyed the attention.
Serenity watched the rambunctious woman with laser-like eyes. She wasn’t sure what it was about the sugary woman that grated at her nerves, but it could be a whole host of things; like the way she came barging into the hospital an hour ago looking like a peacock after a tornado and fu

Gathered around the large boardroom table with grave looks on their faces were the five most powerful men in the underworld and standing at the head of the table was a man who hadn’t in a million years thought he’d be standing there. “As you may have heard, a series of attacks have been staged on the Lombardi clan, one of which has resulted in the incapacitation of the Don himself. Therefore I will be taking over control of the Mafia headquarters until such time that Don Lombardi is able to return to his position.” Alexander’s announcement, as expected, sparked uproar amongst the men in the room. “That’s absurd, Don Lombardi may have named you as his underboss, but we know that was only in name. The Lombardi family is the Mafia, we all know the right to the Donship belongs to Matteo Lombardi.” Joseph Genino, also known as the first Capo, spoke. “Matteo Lombardi’s whereabouts are currently unknown. Which leaves the only surviving heir to the Lombardi dynasty, Alessia Lombardi.” Xande
Loving Mr Mafia Chapter Sixteen: His safe place
Serenity didn’t wait for the door to Xander’s office to close behind the man who had recently departed before barging in herself. The two of them along with Peter had taken refuge at Alexander’s primary residence which was a sizable house that actually belonged to his parents, though since they were on an extended vacation enjoying their retirement, the young master was free to do as he pleased.“What did he say, has he got any idea who took Matteo?” Serenity barked at the two men seated casually in the office.She wasn’t sure when the two became friends, but she rued the day since both Peter and Alexander saw it fit to out vote her today.“Another bogus lead.” Xander’s jaw clenched. There had been many

Like every day for the past month, Serenity entered Lorenzo’s room with hope sparking in her heart.“Hey Enzo.” She dropped her purse on the chair beside his bed and moved to stand in front of the window that overlooked the expansive gardens of the hospital. Across the green park where scores of people mulled, going about their business was another building that Serenity recently learnt was a rehabilitation centre- the best physical rehabilitation centre in LA.“Today marks a month since-” She cut herself off, she had yet to say the words aloud, somehow she felt like saying them would make it real and every fibre of her body screamed in protest.“Xander is doing good. Unsurprisingly he’s great at this whole Don thin
Loving Mr Mafia Chapter Eighteen: The veil of trust
As bullets rained down on her, Serenity spotted a truck up ahead that seemed to be her only option for cover and Serenity pressed her foot harder to the floorboard. She could hear Xander roaring through the speakers, but she was too focussed on her task to hear what he was saying. A bullet whizzed past her head and lodged itself in the windshield, shattering the glass just as she swerved in front of the truck and onto the exit. The truck’s bulky body gave her the advantage she needed to lose the cavalry and without even checking for oncoming traffic she swerved onto the bridge and got back on the opposing lane. “I lost them, Xander! I lost them.” She breathed heavily. “Good, now keep driving, I’m waiting for you at the exit, follow me.” Xander breathed a small sigh of relief, but he knew they weren’t out of the woods yet. True to his word, a few miles up ahead Serenity spotted his charcoal grey Jeep. “I see you.” Xander swerved in front of her when he saw her coming and swiftly le

“Why do you hate him so much anyway?” Peter sipped on his hot beverage, but his eyes watched her over the rim of his mug.“Besides the fact that the man isn’t exactly the picture of virtue? I don’t trust him, I get the sense that he’s hiding something and Xander is too blinded to even question. Vito Costello is the only person who knew we were going to the warehouse that night.” Serenity’s eyes glared at the liquid swirling in her cup.“The same can be said for Genino and by the looks of things, there are more fingers pointing at him than Vito right now.” Peter pointed out and Serenity couldn’t help but sneer at the logic of it all.“I still don’t trust Vito.” She mumbled moodily.

With a heavy sigh, Serenity steps into the Moretti residence and is surprised to find Xander waiting for her leaning against the wall in the living room.“How is he?” Xander’s deep voice broke the silence, his eyes watched as she placed her purse and keys on the side table and warmth sparked inside him.“Hurting, furious, blaming himself. Take your pick.” She responded bitterly, the relief she felt at seeing Lorenzo awake and alert was quickly dampened by the pain she felt at seeing him digest the news of Darrio’s death and Matteo’s disappearance.“Serenity, we need to talk.” Xander spoke after a beat of silence and Serenity’s feet paused in its journey towards the stairs.
Loving Mr Mafia Chapter Twenty-One: Betrayal
Serenity sat ramrod in her chair around the same table as the Capos, one of the reasons being that Joseph Genino sat calmly in the chair across from her, completely unaware of the homicidal thoughts running through her head. The second reason being that Xander was taking his sweet time about getting the meeting underway.Just as her patience reached an all time low, a man entered the room and whispered something in Xander’s ear which caused his whole demeanour to change. Serenity sat forward, practically on the edge of her seat.Don Alexander cleared his throat, finally facing the room full of people he summoned, “Thank you all for taking the time to be here.” he started, but the tone of his voice spoke otherwise, he wasn’t grateful in the least.

Light, measured footsteps sounded in the room and Serenity felt her spine stiffen, “How did you find me?”“I looked everywhere else and you weren’t there.” Xander took a seat on the floor beside her and brought his knees to his chest, mirroring her position.“I’m surprised you didn’t just call Daniel.” She chuckled dryly.“Oh I did.” Xander scoffed, “You shouldn’t be here, it’s not safe and you know that.” He looked around at the stone wall of the mansion, he had to admit the place felt a lot more like home than his parent’s house did.“Oh please enlighten me
