Now, he was interested. Immediately leaning forward, Raleigh urged Sienna to continue. There was little he knew about Callie, and if she were to be the family’s new mistress, then it wouldn’t hurt to get to know her friends as well. He watched Sienna’s face as it lit up at the memory. “A lot of people hate talking about their darkest moments, but I’ve grown quite fond of mine,” Sienna began, taking a sip of her soda. “I met Callie years ago. I was on the brink of jumping from a bridge, just to end it all, you know? But then Callie appeared out of nowhere and jumped over the railing to talk with me. We must have hung there for hours, only holding onto the railing barely having a foothold. I used to think, how her arms must have hurt. I was kind of high so I was kinda numb, but Callie… she kept smiling and talking with me like she would an old friend. She convinced me that my life was still worth living.” “Why did you want to jump?” Sienna snorted, sitting further down the booth.
The Mafia's Songbird Chapter 43: Shelter
Callie spent her days between school and the Tomb. Vin had honored her request and the two of them had not returned to his residence for a while now. When she wasn’t rehearsing, she was downstairs, helping feed or entertain the children. Weeks passed, and each day, Callie watched the number of people in the refuge dwindle. As the city was rebuilt, more and more people left, but the children stayed, they had nowhere else to go. Callie, together with her friends, Ella and Sienna, helped the women who had volunteered to stay behind to care for the kids. When she asked them about the possibility of putting the children in an orphanage, the women advised against it. “It’s not a good place, Miss,” one had told her. “I have friends who grew up in the system, they didn’t have any good stories to share.” “The orphanage is understaffed. There is not enough money to feed and clothe the children there, let alone provide for the social workers.” Callie knew it all too well. “And who allocat

“This is your way of ‘taking care of it?’ By driving her around in public again?”“Shut up. She wanted to visit the orphanage.”Soren scoffed, unrelenting. “And you’re bringing her personally, because?”“Shut up, Soren.”The lawyer rolled his eyes. It was useless to talk to Vin about it. When he decided to do something, there wasn’t much Soren or anyone else could do about it.Vin tried his best to ignore his right-hand man’s accusing tone. He didn’t have the patience and energy to deal with him, piling that on top of his pounding headache.He had stayed up the entire night thinking about Callie’s request. He had to figure out how to allocate the budget for the shelter, and frankly, he didn’t think running one would cost so much.It wasn’t big enough to leave a dent in Vin’s bank account, but the amount wasn’t loose change either. It was nearly daybreak when he was finally content with the accounts.Callie was another issue he needed to think about. The hold that woman had on him wasn

Vin’s morning started dreary, with only meetings and paperwork to look forward to. Since nine that morning, a dozen people have filed in and out of his office to present and report different aspects of the reconstruction project. On top of that, Vin had the drug cleanup to worry about.From across his dark mahogany desk, his accountant presented the latest budget proposal for the reconstruction of the Ashen City.“The construction project was a huge undertaking, but we’ve managed to allocate the funds properly,” his accountant said. “If you could just review these and sign, the additional budget will be released and allocated to the workers’ salaries.”Vin took the folder and thumbed through the pages. Those that required his signature were already marked and he knew Soren had already reviewed them.“Good,” the mafia boss said curtly, before scribbling his initials on each dotted line. “And what of the proposed budget for the children and women’s shelter?”It was a sudden project but

That night was different. Vin’s body was buzzing with excitement as he hopped into the shower.It had been a while since he was home so early. Normally he would stay at the Tomb or in his office dealing with his several businesses and only return to his residence well after dark. But tonight, he had his reasons. He wanted to wait for Callie.Freshly showered, Vin lounged in the living room with a tumbler of bourbon in his hands. The television hummed low in the background as the reporter covered something about the reconstruction of the city.All was well. Vin made sure of it. With the media being heavily controlled by the Baros family, there wasn’t much that outsiders knew about them.Vin didn’t n

Callie couldn’t remember how many times she came. She lost count after orgasm number six. All she knew was that she felt amazing. Vin gave her pleasure no one has ever done, and she’s confident no one will ever measure up to him.And not to mention how attentive he was afterward. He delivered her punishment for apparently letting someone else touch her during their rehearsals, and she endured his torture like a good girl. And afterward, Vin showered her with praises.“You took that so well, songbird,” he had told her. “Now, let me take care of you.”And he did.Vin let her rest as he ran h
The Mafia's Songbird Chapter 48: Did You Do It?
“This had better be the last place, Soren, or I’m firing you.” They had been driving around the entire day from meeting to meeting and now, Soren wanted him to dine with some chick.The lawyer only snorted, “As if you could survive without me to clean up your messes,” Soren replied as he maneuvered the car to park.Vin groaned, this was the third restaurant this week that Soren drove him to. It was also the third dinner date with whichever woman Soren had scheduled.“If you don’t stop driving me around, the media would think I’m dating you,” Vin jested as they stepped out of the car.Soren simply shook his head, “If I don’t drive you, you won’t
The Mafia's Songbird Chapter 49: Fall For You
Callie remained silent. With emotions still running high, she was worried she might take it out on Vin. She didn’t want to be upset with him, even though he was partly at fault, but his intentions were good. She couldn’t fault him for that.Streetlights illuminated the roads with their soft yellow hue as their car cruised along the highway.“Where are we going?” Callie asked, her first words in a while. They had been driving in silence, with Callie marinating in her thoughts that she realized she didn’t recognize the road they were on.Vin spared her a glance, to check if she actually spoke. “You’ll see,” he replied curtly with a hint of a smirk.Unsure of how to respond, Callie stayed quiet for the time being. Annoying Vin with her questions would only make his mood worse, and she didn’t want that. Risking a glance over at the crime lord, Callie
