Vanora Campbell.24 Nov.Oh my! I forgot what today was, it was my freaking birthday. I hadn't told anyone because it never crossed my mind. Last three years, I had my birthdays like normal days, and that was when I wasn't happy with myself. That was when I didn't care about anything in the world. The door busted open and Irene stepped in with Balloons. Alec followed with a cake.And lastly, Zavi and Will came in with boxes of gifts. "Happy birthday, Nora," Irene screamed, handing the balloons to me. I covered my mouth as I looked at them, perplexed."How did you know? they look so beautiful," I asked, rubbing my hands on the balloons. "Your boyfriend told us." She answered and I turned to look at Zavi. "I completely forgot, my baby. Aww, you guys are the best." Is there anything Zavi doesn't know?I look at him, "Thank you, baby." I mumbled and kissed his lips. "Let's open the gifts," Alec said, grabbing the boxes.Irene protested immediately, "No, Cake." She pushed the gift
"Zavi, can you explain to me why all of the clothes you ever bought for me are always revealing?." I was tearing apart my wardrobe, making a poor attempt of finding a decent dress to wear for our date. It's my birthday date not a slut party. He wrapped his arm around my waist and muttered, "I like you sexy but if you don't like any of your dresses, we can stop by a boutique on our way." I nod my head, "Better." I took out the black lace which covered my boobs only and my ass, this will do till we shop for more clothes, and turned to him. "I can't wait to see you try that out." He mumbled and gave me room to dress up. ***I came out, totally dressed like I was going to a party. I wore my black short heels and allowed my hair to flow by the sides. I didn't want to pack that up, I wanted it free for me. I had a black mascara mask on my eyes and pink lipstick on my lips. I entered the sitting room and all eyes went on me. Zavi smiled as he walked toward me."Can we not stop by the
Nora's pov."Aren't the guards too much?." I asked Zavi as we both settled in the back seat. Zavi and I had gone into town with 12 bodyguards, two inside our car, 5 men in the car at the back, and 5 in the front. We were in the middle."My dad can do anything, baby." I nod my head, feeling scared a bit. After that incident, I never want to see that man ever, if he were to be my dad, I would kill him, but he isn't. My biological dad is dead I owe an apology to my stepdad. "Why was she that nice?." I asked Zavi, thinking back to Alice."Well, I'd talked to her and she obeyed." I smiled, "Just like that?." I know Zavi's way of talking to people, it's just like, 'try that and I'll kill you.'"Yeah." A few seconds passed."Baby, I don't want you to worry but there are things you must know. My dad visited the Gambino family last week, I don't know what they talked about, but I must keep an eye on them. I think he's trying to ship Alice and me together since it was business.""Why does
"Your turn," Alec smirked. He relaxed on the bean bag and looked at Irene, "Dear Irene, why do you like Nora?." She sat up on the cushion where she and Will had snuggled up on. She sighed, "To be frank, I didn't like Nora at first, she was saucy and mean, she acted so important, and then she's one lucky bitch. When she first came, she acted like she was more important than any one of us, damn she got promoted so fast and the boss liked her." "I didn't know I was that bitchy to anyone," I said, feeling sad. "You were so fucked up that all the girls wanted to kill you." My eyes rose, "Really?" "You wouldn't blame me because I got that way after my mom died.""I think that was what attracted me to her," Zavi said, pulling my cheek."No. Don't lie, you thought I was Anita." I told him."At first, I thought so, but then I buried Anita myself, I checked on her every month, and besides, Anita wasn't so daring…you were so brave and my kind of bitch." He kissed my lips."Alright, enough
"Alec bought condoms for us on Christmas day," I said aloud for others to hear. "You should be happy I bought something, it's like watching you both act porn while I masturbate." I scoffed and dropped it beside us. We were in the garden where Irene had been decorating the venue for Christmas night. Presents surrounded us and for a moment, it didn't feel like I was in a mafia house, we were like a bunch of friends celebrating Christmas together. I turned to Becca. "Aren't you gonna miss your family out there?." Her eyes rose, "I was out of their business and they were not interested in mine, it's not the first time I didn't spend Christmas with them." I nod, "With how annoying your sister is, I don't pity them at all." I told her and turned to Zavi, "Let's open the present so I can make good of the condoms." "So where's your present, Nora?." Irene asked me. "Oh, I might have ordered some weed for y'all. Get free weed, courtesy of me." She smiled at me, "You're the best." "I go
A few days later. ***"Jesus, I can't remember coming to church all my life," Alec said, from the passenger's seat."Well, you could start now to confess your sins." I told him and looked up at Zavi, "Baby, is your mom a nun?." "My mom was an orphan who was brought up by the convent, she escaped and went into the hands of my father, and after finding out what he does, she went back pleading for her sins. I don't think she will ever be happy to see me, we were part of her sins." He answered and kissed my hair. We were in front of the Convent of the Norbertine Sisters in Kraków, Poland. That was where Zavi said her mom was. I think I'm getting nervous, I hadn't noticed my hands shaking until Zavi held my hand in his. "Don't be nervous, Nora, she might like you." I exhaled, "I hope so." The car drove into the convent, it stopped in front of the church, and nuns trooped out of the church to greet us. I was the first to walk out, the december winter evening breeze chilled my skin, a
"I think I'm gonna pee on myself." They said new year, a new beginning. They were speaking to me. Mine was that I was getting married on the 15th of January. Irene scolded, "Don't even dare ruin this." She was doing my makeup, Becca made my wedding dress and it's fucking the most beautiful dress I've ever seen. "Nora, there's nothing to be nervous about. You're about to walk down the aisle with the hottest richest man in the world." Irene held my cheek and looked into my eyes, "You'll do great. You've always done things well.""But I'm nervous, it's like feeling a knot in my heart," I answered. "I know what will help. I'm coming." Becca said and walked out of the room. I turned back to Irene."You're getting married to a man who loves you, Nora. A man who wants the best for you and would never hurt you, a man who knows your worth, come on, I would faint if I got this lucky." A wide grin met my lips, I hugged her right there, she's a comforter. "Nora. I got you anxiety pills."
"Honeymoon in UAE?." I asked once we stepped into his plane. "You don't like it, baby?.* "Are you kidding me? I want to go everywhere. Even if it's to fly to the moon, I'll always follow you." He snickered, putting his hand over my shoulder."I wanna spoil you, V." "You've spoiled me enough. I'm so spoiled." He laughed and opened his laptop with the other hand. "What would you like to take, ma'am?." I looked up at the hostess and smiled, "Just wine, Gracia." I look at Zavi, "What are you doing?." "Work. We purchased another casino in Paris last month, Alec is trying to get my signature to sign the deal between the french mafia. Don't worry, it's not gonna be long." "Drugs etc, are we ever gonna stop?." He looked up and smiled, "I was born to deal with it, Nora. I didn't just learn it."I licked my lips, what is wrong with me? wasn't I the one who agreed to marry a mobster? There was no way he was going to stop just because he's got a wife. After all, mafias don't stop until t
