Mafia's Little Pearl Seventy nine: Can you not?
Jade's pov. "Saint, it's me," I said quietly, knocking on his door. He didn't open up the first time which made me repeat myself. I waited for some time with crossed fingers before his door finally opened and I met his eyes, for the first time since the previous night.I saw he was in a new shirt which had some blood stains on it and his lips were downturned in a frown. He didn't look stressed but he didn't look good at all. "You shouldn't be up and walking around right now." He said to me in a flat tone before I could even speak. I swallowed hard before responding, "I...I wanted to make food." He ran a hand over his face, "I'll get one of the guys to do it. Go back to your room." It was more like an order than him saying it out of worry. "I'm better now. I can-" "Jade." He said cutting me off. His expression turned stern and he straightened his posture. He then took a large breath before continuing. "I'll tell one of the guys to do it."He was trying to hold himself back from
Mafia's Little Pearl Eighty: Mr Guerra
Saint's pov I left the basement angrily, feeling the smoke coming out of my ears. Fucking Elijah wasn't speaking and even though he was already half dead, his lips were still sealed. The lackey that had been searching for Tequila had said he had gotten a signal from him a day before and it wouldn't be long before he got found. That was good news, but it wasn't the news I wanted to hear that day. I wanted to finish what I had started and wanted to do it soon, killing everyone who had a hand in Aunt's death but I needed to know where they were first; Lauretta from the Fontana family and the remaining of the Mariano family which were Matrix and his younger brother. And after then, I could wait till whenever the fuck Tequila would show up. I had left early that morning after watching over Jade as she slept just like every other night, making sure she was okay. And now I was back to the house earlier than I usually am. I was furious and needed to let the anger out in any way I could. A
Mafia's Little Pearl Eighty one: Suit yourself
Jade's povThe days ran slowly after that. My injuries were already healed and I felt so much better. CJ hadn't come to the house since after the funeral and the doctor had gone back to his place. Saint's guys at the house were fewer than they usually were and he came home every late night and most times before I woke up. I didn't see Alessandro or the old man after the funeral either and the house just felt lonely, silent and empty with just me inside. I thought of every way to get closer to Saint and even texted him on a few occasions asking when he would be home but he never responded to any of them and soon enough, I found myself lying on the couch in the living room upstairs, waiting for him to come back home every night. I couldn't lie also, I missed him like hell. I missed him so much that I thought I would go crazy. I was lying down as usual stopping the sleep that was coming with a lot of force when I heard cars drive in. I knew instantly he was the one and waited eagerly
Mafia's Little Pearl Eighty two: Drunk
Jade's povI didn't hear him leave his room the next morning. Or rather, he left before I woke up. The headache I got from crying myself to sleep was starting to decrease as I turned in my bed thinking of the previous night's incident. He hadn't even come after me when I walked to my room. And damn him for that because that hurt as well. I remembered also he smelt of alcohol and cigarette and as foolish and desperate as I was, I chose to conclude that he might have been drunk the previous night. Evening came and as I made my food, I ended up making him something as well so he'd eat before going to sleep in case he came back late. I lied to myself that I was going to go back to my room and leave a quick note for him next to the food, but here I was, on the couch just like the previous day, waiting yet again for him. Time passed by, slowly and he didn't come back and when I had started to give up and walk back to my room, I heard his footsteps coming up the stairs. They weren't qui
Mafia's Little Pearl Eighty three: I'm leaving
Jade's povThe sun rays didn't hit my face this morning and I was glad as I stretched lazily on the bed not opening my eyes. I rolled my body sideways to cuddle at the other part of the bed and the next place I found myself was on the floor face front with a loud thud. I winced flashing my eyes wide open and glancing around me. I wasn't in my room, I was in the living room. I had slept off there and Saint wasn't there. I hissed flipping off the floor and standing up while rubbing my forehead which hurt a little from the fall. I got to the kitchen and saw the food I made the previous night was still left untouched. I sighed reaching for a bottle of water from the fridge. After gulping the whole can, I threw away the food and walked to my room. Everything Saint told me the previous night left me thinking and I saw him in a different light. He was forced to grow up and fight for power by nineteen, toughen himself up and take his revenge as well and I knew that even though my situation
Mafia's Little Pearl Eighty four: Injury
Saint's Pov. "I'm leaving!" She said loudly again as if wanting to confirm if I had heard her the first time. I just glared at her, gritting my teeth angrily. I was trying to keep her safe. To not let her end up like Aunt or the twins or my parents. And what? She wanted to leave. I didn't think I cared any longer and I just wasn't going to put up with this any more. "Then get the fuck out if you want to. I don't fucking care!" I said back to her. She wanted to walk past me and I drew her back to the wall. She winced and held her wrist, then shot me a glare. Tears were welling up in her eyes now and I knew I didn't pull her that hard to hurt her. She let go of her wrist and I saw a circle mark on it which looked like it was going to be an injury later. Only then did my eyes dart to my hand and I saw I had grabbed her with my hand that had my lit cigarette. "Shit," I mumbled to myself running a hand over my face. I didn't do that intentionally but I was too angry to think but at th
Mafia's Little Pearl Eighty five: Ice cream
Jade's pov. The box of tissues was almost empty as I grabbed yet another one and blew out my nose in it. Then grabbed one more and dabbed my eyes with it. I sniffed severally, making me almost choke on my breath and I knew one annoying headache was going to come later. "You're the one that suggested to leave, Why are you crying your eyes out," Betty asked gently as she sat beside me, patting my back. "I...I thou... ught maybe h...he would stop me," I sobbed before sniffing. I was at her house now. I had called her to come pick me up after I got dropped off at the bar and I've been crying ever since I got into the car and we arrived at her house."Yeah, that's some shitty behaviour from him for letting you leave." Betty agreed. "But... but I took out my anger a...at him after S...Suzy's text," I told her, wiping my tears with my palm and swallowing hard, feeling the salty taste at the back of my throat. "Yeah, maybe you shouldn't have done that." She agreed also. "But... he ss..
Mafia's Little Pearl Eighty six: Guy in the shadows
Saint's povI slammed my fist on the table in my room and felt my jaws tighten. Fuck it! I was going to get her back! I fucked up by letting her go and I just wanted her to be with me. I wanted her back and I was going to get her. I grabbed my keys and stepped out of my room, slamming the door behind me and at the same time, I saw Alessandro coming back up the staircase. "Ayo Gennaro the man!" Alessandro called out, waving in the air and grinning from ear to ear. I didn't know whatever had made him that happy but I wasn't ready to hear it. And why was he at home and not at Betty's or whatever her name was' house. "Yeah, I'm busy now," I replied, increasing my pace before stopping in front of him. "And what are you doing here?" He stretched, yawning in the process. "She's still indoors. Betty's the only one who has been going in and out of the house. I'm starting to think she might not be there." He shrugged. I shook my head. "I'm sure she is. Who's watching the house now?" "On
