OMERTA: MAFIA'S VOW 42. Giovanni
The second I made eye contact with Kaz, I knew something was up. His back was ramrod straight, his jaw clenched and those jarring heterochromia eyes of his were filled with anger. I glance at Lucia standing next to Nikki and Julia with five of my men surrounding her and get to my feet.Kaz cocks his head for me to follow him so we’re out of earshot and Dev joins us. As soon as we’re a distance away from everyone, Kaz takes my hand and puts something into it. “This again,” he says and I look at the object he’s placed in my hand.I knew what it was the second I felt it, but the intricate V inscription is what I widen my eyes at. “Where was this found?” I ask, holding up the bullet casing. “Was someone shot?”Kaz nods. “One of my men behind the building. Normally I wouldn’t be worried, but—”“One of my men was hit as well,” Dev says, clenching his fists. “Same bullet, same casin’.”I breathe out a sigh and inspect the casing, noting the same V placement as the one we found in the woods.
OMERTA: MAFIA'S VOW 43. Giovanni
After a relatively calm few hours, I am riled up with stress and anxiety. It’s seven pm and Kaius Tulvan is on his way to meet us. We’re in one of the upper-tier clubs, seated in one of the back offices, and drinking alcohol. There’s been nothing but silence from our so-called assassin, but that doesn’t mean we’ll let our guard down.I’ve even gone as far as starting plans to build a hospital wing on the property so Lucia can give birth here safely. I’ve shared that it’s the best way, and she hasn’t fought me on it, even though I can see she’s dying to ask me what’s going on.There have been a few occasions where I have caught her stopping herself from asking me something. As much as I want to share details with her, it’s the wrong call; you don’t share your work with your woman.Unwritten laws are there for a reason, and this one is right at the top.“Do we know what to expect from this fucker?” Kaz says, pouring himself a glass of vodka. “I’ve never wanted to deal with the Romanian
OMERTA: MAFIA'S VOW 44. Lucia
My heart is beating in my chest as Giovanni holds my hand. This is our first appointment together, the first one where he could actually join me. Of course, we’re flanked by different men, and Giovanni insisted I stay at his side, but I’ve gotten used to it.“Are you okay, Amoruccio?” Giovanni asks as we walk inside the private clinic. I turn my head to look up at him and smile. “Your palms are all sweaty.”“I’m just nervous,” I admit. “We’re finding out the sex of the baby today and I don’t know what to expect. What if they find something? What if Lucky suddenly developed an abnormality and what if it—”He silences my worry by placing a finger on my lips. “Everything is fine, amore, your worries are valid, but we both know he isn’t called Lucky for nothing.”“Or she,” I say with a smile, and he chuckles.“Or she. Now, let’s go and see our little miracle.” As we walked hand in hand down the hallway of the obstetrician's office, a mix of excitement and nervousness coursed through my v
OMERTA: MAFIA'S VOW 45. Lucia
The evening sun bathed our home in a warm golden glow as I bustled around the kitchen, preparing supper for the family. The savory aromas filled the air, creating an ambiance of comfort and anticipation. With each chop of vegetables and stir of simmering sauce, I reveled in the joyous task.This always made me so happy, just cooking and getting lost in everything. But tonight I have Nikki here with me. “Frankie doesn’t seem to be interested in me at all,” she remarks again. “He’s almost never home, and we actually sleep in separate rooms.”I frown at this and look at the glass of wine in her hand. “Were you supposed to tell me that?” I ask, chuckling, and she waves the glass around.“I don’t care anymore. I’m thinking of doing what Frankie does and just going out to find myself someone on the side. It would make the long nights bearable—”“Nikki!” I exclaim, looking around and hoping no one hears her. “Let’s keep that conversation for when we’re alone, okay?”She takes a sip of her g

OMERTA: MAFIA'S VOW 1 - Prologue - Dual POV
—Kaius - 33 / Emilia - 29— Emilia I watch as Gio’s car pulls away and that little girl in me screams out for her big brother to come back. I fall to my knees, calling out his name, hoping he’d forget this bullshit and tell me it’s all a lie. That he’s not giving me to this asshole… but it never comes. And now I’m stuck with the man who raped and killed his brother’s fiancee. “No one’s coming for you, fetiţă mică; might as well get up,” his voice comes as a grating noise—like nails on a chalkboard even if his accent is sexy as hell. I grit my teeth and sniff before getting to my feet and turning around to glare at him. “Don’t fucking tell me what to do, asshole,” I say, while trying to appear intimidating, but I can already see the amusement playing in his eyes. He crosses his arms and I try not to stare at those massive things bulging. “Are you done with your tantrum yet? I have places to be and you’re cutting into my schedule.” “Excuse me, I didn’t realize my kidnapping was th
OMERTA: MAFIA'S VOW 2 - Emilia
Kaius has been ignoring me since we touched down in Romania. We’re driving to God knows where with the two of us in the backseat while he’s on his phone talking in Romanian. I suppose I should be thankful for him ignoring me since I don’t have to deal with him, but I feel like I’m slowly losing my mind. A painful twinge pulls at my stomach, and I bite my lip to contain a gasp. I’m not used to silence in any form; I grew up in a rowdy Italian household where there was always something going on. So this right here…it makes me feel anxious as fuck and sick to my stomach. Not only that, but Kaius’ words from earlier are playing on repeat in my mind: “Unlike my brother, I don’t enjoy playing with his used toys?” What does that even mean? And why does he call me Angel so casually, as if he knows me? A shiver runs up my spine and goosebumps pucker all over my skin for some reason. I’m so damn on edge and I do not know if it’s because I’m in unknown territory or if it’s a pregnancy sympt
OMERTA: MAFIA'S VOW 3 - Kaius

It’s one of my runners who went missing two days ago, and the cut-out marking on his cheek tells me this is a fucking message.No one is happy about Andrei’s death; well, those who were relying on that fucked up drug aren’t happy.
