The Mafia Widow Chapter 30: The Shocking Truth
"Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't going away."-Elvis Presley-***“I told you, Madame, this is a really bad idea.” Darius finally expressed himself as they were riding on Lucas’ car to Ian’s house. Victoria already knew it was a bad idea but she couldn’t bring herself to let Ian suffered on his own.She was having a mental conflict, on one hand, he was a murderer but on another hand, she also cared for him. Not long after, they finally arrived at Ian’s house.Darius was on the lookout and he made sure to remain close to Victoria as they entered the house.There were several men with guns on standby but Lucas had told them to do nothing as these two were guests of the house.Victoria entered the house and she saw Ian laying on the bed, he was awake but his face was still pale. A small smile escaped his lips when he saw her and he softly called her name.“I’m glad you’re here Victoria.” She slowly took steps forward. Darius was about to prevent her fr
The Mafia Widow Chapter 31: The Disappointment
"Nothing hurts more than being disappointed by the person you thought would never hurt you."-Unknown-***“I know you don’t like Darius, but you have no right to drag him into this matter.” She was getting more and more upset by what she thought was a huge accusation against the people she loved. At the same time, Victoria was a rational woman, she was willing to hear out his reasoning as long as his words made sense.“I told you before, that Darius of yours isn’t the man you think he is. He has a lot of secrets on his hand that I am sure you aren’t aware of. That is a matter for later, but for now, what I want you to know is your husband has not been innocent, so it’s wrong for you to treat me like this when your own husband has kept secrets from you for over ten years.” He reasoned.“I know you wouldn’t believe me, so I suggest you ask that butler. See what kind of answer he will come up with. He probably wouldn’t lie to you if you hit the bullseye but he will do whatever it takes
The Mafia Widow Chapter 32: The Unhealthy Siblings
"There is no use whatsoever trying to help people who do not help themselves. You cannot push anyone up the ladder unless he is willing to climb himself."-Andrew Carneige-***"We have been observing both Ian and the woman you asked us to monitor and it seemed like they are pretty close. They have been meeting each other several times recently but we speculate these two could be dating each other.” The man Catherine hired reported. She was not pleased with the news at all.Yes, there are several women he would casually date here and there but it was never a long term thing and more like a way to kill time. Yet with her, it was different. Catherine knew there had to be something deeper between them.She already got information on who Victoria was and she was aware that Ian must have had some business relations with her as well. However, it must have turned into something much more personal.“I need to pay that woman a visit.” Catherine was determined. When she was about to step out, t
The Mafia Widow Chapter 33: The Assasination Attempt
"The important thing to know about an assasination or an attempted assasination is not who fired the shot, but who paid for the bullet."-Eric Ambler-***It was almost midnight, Darius was done checking every corner of the house when he suddenly heard a sound from above that seemed to come from Victoria’s room.He quickly rushed in there and saw the window’s glass shattering and a little bullet was found on the pillow just a few millimeters beside her.They looked outside and saw a man on top of the roof with a gun. The man noticed he had missed and quickly made an attempt to run away.Still sitting on the bed, Victoria tried to catch her breath. She couldn’t believe that she just escaped death.The man must have aimed for either her neck or her head but missed because she moved during her sleep exactly when he released the bullet. It must have been her good fortune, otherwise, she would be dead by then.“Madame, are you okay? Forgive me, I have been reckless. I should have changed t
The Mafia Widow Chapter 34: The Tension
"Love, like destiny, loves surprises."-Amelia Barr-***Victoria woke up that morning feeling incredibly strange. She realized that both her dress and her bed sheets had been changed. She didn’t realize any of those things happening and why would anyone do that?She also felt like she was sleeping a lot deeper that night. Amid her confusion, there was a knock on her door and it was opened. Darius stepped inside the room with a tray of tea, water and some light condiment.“Good morning, madame. I have brought some refreshment for you since you’ve been through a lot yesterday. I think you may want to take these first.” He suggested. It wasn’t something he would normally do so she wondered why Darius was suddenly acting that way.“Thank you, Darius. However, I have a question for you.” She stated after she drank water. It’s important to stay hydrated.“Why is my clothes and bed sheet different from last night? Did you change it?” She asked him. Darius never wanted to lie to her so he ad
The Mafia Widow Chapter 35: The Last Strike
"Sometimes, after a storm, people say there was no warning. There was a warning, but nobody was listening."-Jeff Last-***“Fine, I will tell you, but I don’t think there is much you can do with this information anyway.” She replied back. Darius didn’t like the idea of it at all, but Ian thought differently.“You never really know until you try.” He replied back. Victoria exchanged a gaze with Darius and reassured him that it would be fine. Even if Ian had evil intention, she wanted to believe he wouldn’t try to make her life more miserable than it was already.“Two days ago, someone made an assassination attempt on me when I was sleeping. It was something we never predicted. I almost got killed but managed to survive because I moved right when the bullet was about to hit me. It was a really close call.” She got the chills as she recalled what happened that night.
The Mafia Widow Chapter 36: The Relaxing Day
"Happiness is the art of relaxation."-Maxwell Maltz-***“I miss you so much, we haven’t been able to spend time recently because both of us have been so busy. My God!” Liana squealed as she hugged her friend. The two of them hadn’t spent time together in a very long time.They used to be so close to each other, but since a lot of things had happened in both of their lives, they just hadn’t been able to find the time to meet each other.“Yes, things have been quite crazy. I almost died a week ago, but fortunately, everything is fine now.” She reassured her. Upon hearing that, Liana was shocked. But she was not going to overreact either.One thing that made their friendship lasted for so long was how both of them were used to each other’s crazy lives and stories.

The Mafia Widow Chapter 37: The Sudden Proposal
"Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a meaning."-Unknown-***Victoria was back from shopping and she went to check the time. It turned out there was still some time for dinner with Ian. Darius who saw her looking at her phone about to call someone immediately noticed what was happening.“Madame, you don’t have to call him. You can just make up all sort of excuse to not see him. That man isn’t good for you, Madame.” He said in almost a pleading tone.“I’ve made my promise and I need to do what I can to fulfill it.” She hated lying and would try to avoid it on as many chances as possible. As much as she didn’t want to admit it, she had to fulfill her promise.She picked up her phone and called Ian. The man picked up within seconds. He must be expecting her as well. His husky voice was heard from the other side of the line.“I knew you would call me. I have made a reservation at your favorite restaurant. If you want to, I can come there and pick you up.” He offer
