The Mafia Widow Chapter 1: The Funeral
"Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another."-Ernest Hemingway-***“She is still so young, how pitiful.” Victoria heard those words being whispered by the people inside the funeral house.She might have her vision forward as she walked down the aisle toward the casket to place the last bouquet before they closed it.Still, she was not stupid. She knew exactly what these people were thinking.“She must be so happy right now since they have no children. All his money are going to her.” Some whispered.“I heard he died from respiratory failure. Do you think she has something to do with it? I don’t know. If I married a man like that I would pray he die soon so I could get control of his asset.” Another one said.“She is still in her thirties isn’t she? The age gap between them is insane. She must have married him for his money.” More whispers were heard.Victoria could only hold her breath together and
The Mafia Widow Chapter 2: The Inheritance
"The Inheritance of a distinguished and noble name is a proud inheritance to him who lives worthily to it."-Charles Caleb Colton-***“Where are you taking me, Wilfred?” Victoria asked in anticipation with a smile on her face as her husband led her somewhere. She had her eyes closed with a piece of red cloth, thus unable to see anything.“Don’t worry, my love. You will see in a couple of minutes.” He held her hand throughout the ride until the car eventually stopped. She did not know where they were since he wanted to surprise her but she could already feel something big was coming.The car door was opened and Wilfred helped her out of the car. He slowly led her by holding her shoulder gently and a few seconds later. They stopped.“Okay, now I will remove your blindfold.” He gently untied the back of the cloth and removed it from her eyes. Victoria slowly opened her eyes and gasped in surprise when she saw what was in front of her.It was a house in Knightsbridge area of London. Judg
The Mafia Widow Chapter 3: The Meeting
"The meetings can be a lot of fun or they can be frustrating."-Bob Weir-***“This man is Ezra Stuart. He is the person who will be assisting you in the business. He used to work for your late husband when he was alive. Now he will work for you. You can trust him. He is one of the most reliable man in the business.” It was what the lawyer told her but meeting the man in person gave her an entirely different perception.This man was as cold as an ice cube. He wore one of those posh square glasses and dressed in a gray suit that did not really suit his warm complexion. It was not the worst part.There was something about his gaze that made Victoria felt uncomfortable when she saw him for the first time. He looked intimidating. He couldn’t intimidate her, of course.Her previous life before she met Wilfred had allowed her to meet all kind of people, even the difficult ones. She was a pianist. She dealt with music but she also needed connections to broadcast her talent. Not all those who
The Mafia Widow Chapter 4: The Invitation
"You can't measure what's inside a man's heart."-Joe Rogan-***Ian was amused by this woman. Her expression seemed so serious as she gazed right through him. This woman did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. He thought he should do the same if he did not want to get on her bad side.“I have told you before. I am a friend of Wilfred and he asked me to take care of you. So, here I am. You should also know that I am a business partner of his and I got an invitation to be here.” She was speechless. He did not lie about it, after all.“Don’t worry, let’s consider us good. Now, should we talk about business. I will explain everything that you need to know about my role here and your assistant right there could confirm it if he wants to.” He turned his gaze to Ezra, who stared back at him with a displeased gaze.“Okay, let’s talk business.” Victoria agreed. The two of them ended up having a conversation for nearly half an hour. It turned out he owned a considerable am
The Mafia Widow Chapter 5: The Butler
"The very ingredients that nurture love, mutuality, reciprocity, protection, worry, responsibility for the other are sometimes the very ingredients that stifle desire."-Esther Perel-***That Sunday morning, Victoria woke up with sore muscle and mild headache. All the business related stuff had taken quite a toll on her, mentally and physically. She knew she would eventually adjust to it after some time.Fifteen minutes after she woke up, she heard a knock on the door. It was Darius. She opened the door and saw him standing there with his casual attire.“Madame, breakfast is ready. I will be taking my day off today if you don’t mind.”“Sure, Darius. Thank you for your work.” She thanked him and was about to close the door before he spoke again.“Before I go, is there anything you would like me to do first?” He asked.“Then, if you don’t mind, can you call the massage parlor I often visit and ask them to send someone over. I need a massage so bad today, my whole body is aching.” She t
The Mafia Widow Chapter 6: The Party
"You can't break the rules until you know how to play the game."-Rickie Lee Jones-***“The tracker is off. She seemed to notice it. Do you want me to do anything about it?” Ian was smoking his cigar in the living room when he heard the news.“You noticed it a little too late. I’ve seen it this morning. It’s connected to my device, after all.” Ian replied before blowing off the smoke. Lucas wondered why his boss seemed so calm about it. Perhaps he had expected more reaction out of him.“This woman, Victoria. She doesn’t seem to be as stupid as we thought.” A smirk appeared on Ian’s face. He put the tracker inside of the watch just to monitor her move. Having it off did not mean a lot to him, so there was no need for him to make any drastic move.“But boss, I don’t think it was her who did it. That woman doesn’t seem that smart and cautious to know that you put a tracker in the gift. Maybe she has someone else. Someone who’s more cautious than her.” He reasoned. Ian leaned forward and
The Mafia Widow Chapter 7: The Gunshot
"The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun."-Wayne LaPierre-***“Shall we dance?” Ian reached out his hand to her as an invitation to dance. Victoria was not a skilled dancer and felt a little bit shy with her ability.“I’m not too sure about it.” She replied.“Oh, don’t worry. I will take the lead. You just have to follow my steps and everything will be fine.” He reassured. After a few seconds. She took his hand and he led her to the middle of the room where several others had paired up to start dancing as well.The music started and he led the moves. She was feeling a bit nervous at first, but after a few minutes, she started to loosen up a little and followed his move.Fortunately for Victoria, she was born a fast learner. It did not take long for her to pick up on the rhythm and they started dancing. One of his hand was on her
The Mafia Widow Chapter 8: The Headache
"A great wind is blowing and that either gives you imagination or a headache."-Catherine The Great-***As soon as Victoria got back home, she quickly headed over to the restroom to throw up. The image of what happened was still fresh on her mind.She might not grow up in the most peaceful, harmonious environment, but it was the first time she had ever seen something so violent in her life.It was too much. The sight of blood was enough to turn her stomach upside down. However, what Ian did, killing another man so easily. It frightened her.“What in the world did I just see?” She murmured to herself. She spent quite sometime in the bathroom, trying to pull herself together. Before, she was too shocked to even react. When her mind cleared up a bit, she took a deep breath and wondered what she should do.Ian was right, she couldn’t go to the police and told them what just happened. She was in
