The Mafia's Charming Mate 31. BROTHERS
|Rocco|Strangely after I apologized to Irena, I felt a certain peace I couldn't describe in words. It was as if a huge burden was lifted off my shoulders. I wouldn't care if anyone jumped into the lagoon or walked through the fire, but I was bothered by the fact that a lady wasn't relating to me as she should.What went wrong?Her back looked calm and gentle as she gazed at the sky while sitting on the balcony. I have seen her do that for about three to four nights, and I couldn’t help but wonder why she was so obsessed with the sky. “You don't have to apologize because I wasn't upset in the first place,” she revealed to me after my apology, and I was dumbfounded. I was flushed with embarrassment because why did I even bother in the first place? She must have caught on and let out a small laugh to ease my tension.“I mean, it's not like what you did to me was laudable, but I wouldn't dwell too much on it because I was also at first. I shouldn't have entered your room or touched you

|Irena|The gifts and flowers he kept sending only made me laugh. He was a funny man. He would rather apologize with gifts instead of saying it verbally. Well, at least he apologized. He would have gotten away with it and I wouldn’t been able to do anything about the situation even if I wanted. I was thankful for his thoughtfulness.“He still has to apologize verbally. I will not give him an easy pass”, I told myself and prepared to push him to the wall.I made sure to snub his existence and gave him the silent treatment in a way that wouldn’t irritate him but leave him wondering. I would leave his space whenever he comes in and if I had to be there with him, I would pretend as if he never existed.Even while doing all this, I was still keeping tabs on his health. I knew he had something he was battling for him to be that cold and having nightmares that made his sweat and violent like that but I wasn’t curious about exactly what it was.“I wasn’t raised to be nosy or go beyond my boun

|Luca|Everything was still the same. Although, there were some neat and beautiful touches on the flowers, lawns and the garden, it was pretty much the same way I had left the place. I left for Florida five year ago and permanently relocated there after setting up my horticulture company.Father saw my love for gardening as I grew up and he decided to groom it. I was the one that groomed the garden till I left the house permanently ten years ago to live on my own. It was just a regular garden for him but when I made some touches, planted some flowers and trees, and made all necessary touch ups, he would proudly flaunt it to his guests.“You have too delicate hands. I fear you might not be able to do this job,” he once expressed his concern one evening as we took a walk in the garden.He had always wanted me to take over the family’s business but I had no business with guns and using my brain vigorously. I just wanted to live and breathe with flowers. That was all I wanted and my fathe
The Mafia's Charming Mate 34. EXPERIENCES
|Irena|I didn’t let the strange visitor trample over me and just stood my ground even at gun point. Although I was scared, I didn’t let it get obvious. There was no way he would pull the trigger carelessly, he only wanted to scare me and I would never be generous enough to give him that satisfaction.Thankfully, Rocco walked in on the scene and a word from him got them shivering. He was the one they needed to call them to order. I disappeared from the scene with immediate effect, running to my room without bothering to find out who the visitor was.Finally, I found out from Abby that he was the elder brother of Rocco, who had left home for a while to pursue his own passion.“Isn’t he cool? How come he’s not interested in the family’s occupation? He’s a free bird,” I wowed when she told me, but she only scoffed“You should be glad that he’s not around. He’s always a pain in the ass. Seeing how he’s still quiet, I wonder what kind of trouble he will cause in the next few hours or minut
The Mafia's Charming Mate 35. THE KISS
I couldn’t stop admiring the wrist band I got from Martins. It was a proof of my membership and also a token from a crush. I liked the way he flexes his muscles during training, his overall aura, and how gentle he was with me.During the training period, he was careful enough not to wound me and handled me with respect. He also made me understand some things about attacks and defense.It was fun packed.Rocco had a very packed schedule for the month so I had every freedom of going to the gym and coming back when I wanted. I didn’t even know that he was back that very afternoon. All I wanted to do was show off my gift to Abby.Since the steps were wide enough to not make me trip and I was already used to them, I just raced up without paying too much attention because I was drowned in the admiration of my wrist band. I didn’t know Rocco was at the upper end of the stairs.It was not a normal time for him to be at home. Never would anyone think he would be around at that moment. I looked

I didn’t know if I should just sleep there or leave the room. The whole house was silent, nobody was home. Even Bojana didn’t come back with him.“Why are you doing this to me?” I mumbled as I stared at his sleeping face. His features were well-defined. Everything about him was handsome and sharp. His nose was sharp and long, his lips were full and thick at a moderate size. Even his eyebrows were neatly arranged in a way that was extremely pleasing.“It feels like a dream, having you in my bed,” I added, continued staring for a while as I was tempted to steal a kiss, but kicked against it and decided to leave the bed before he woke up in the morning and let hell loose.As soon as I stood on my feet, a hand pulled me back to the bed and rolled me inside his huge embrace. In a great shock, I got dissolved and helpless in his arms. His eyes were not opened, but it seemed like he knew what he was doing.His musky wood scent filled my nostrils as I almost suffocated in his tight embrace,

|Rocco|I had missed her like crazy. I didn’t realize how much she had occupied my heart until Luca pointed it out. She had crept her way in, but I wasn’t sure if whatever I was feeling for her was love, or she was just rubbing on her because she had been by my side for quite a while.I brought her to my side because of her talent. Aside from her seeing ability that she claimed to have, which she had confirmed for me on two different occasions, she was also extra intelligent. Her background check showed that she was once a top student at her university where she was studying law before she dropped out of school, thanks to the lack of funds.I also dug into her mother. She had been behind bars for years and all Irena’s efforts to prove her innocence had been in vain. Something smelt quite fishy from the case, but I didn’t have any reason to dig deeper till further notice.“She has a way of making me think about her,” an inaudible mumble played on my lips as I smoked the stress away on
