The Mafia's Wanted Desires. 48
JAXONRage simmered through my veins, threatening to consume me from the inside out. My mood which had been completely sour before I got home seemed to have spiked up, rendering me overly irritated. The air that hung in the room was toxic, unnerving even. The event that just occurred was enough to leave everyone on the tip of their toes. Heck, I could smell their fear. "Get the hell out of my sight and stop staring at me like a fucking moron!" I growled at them and they scampered off in different directions, leaving Duncan and me alone. I raked my fingers through my hair, groaning in frustration. I didn't say anything to Duncan before marching upstairs.I didn't even know what I was going to say to her. I have seen her angry but today, she was like a ticking time bomb that had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to explode. I could see it in her eyes, the rage, the fierceness. She was like a different person a few minutes ago. She looked every bit of the Queen that she was alway

ASHLEY"So, Duncan, huh?" I sparked up a conversation, rinsing the knife in my hands in the sink. The girl beside me stiffened, her hands growing numb as she set the knife in her hands on the chopping board. I was bored out of my mind and my grump of a husband was in one of his asshole moods. He had been holed up in his study all day with his men and I knew that because Duncan was nowhere to be found. I didn't want to think about what he might be up to in that study, so I decided to make dinner for us. I knew I was going to have to play the boss card and that was what I did with Alberta when she tried to get me to give up on cooking dinner. I knew I had to get her out of the house and she couldn't say no to me when I told her to go with the driver on grocery shopping. So, I was stuck with Zelda who insisted on helping out. I have been eating Alberta's meals for a while now and I just wanted to do something different. It was tiring having someone make my meals. I wanted to eat someth

ASHLEYThe air thickened with so much tension, and when I finally moved from where I stood, I dropped the tray on the counter. Zelda hopped off the counter and I knew her instinct was to go check out what was going on in the living room, but I had everything under control."Stay in here and handle everything for me." My tone was quite clear that I wasn't asking. I ordered her to do so and she nodded in response. I took off my gloves and walked out of the kitchen.I was plunged into confusion at the sight of two women in the living room. One was older and the other one was much younger. I could tell from her hourglass figure because she had her back turned to me. My eyes strayed to the kids that were running around the living room, excited giggles emitting from them. I walked forward, and like the two women could sense my presence, they spun around and I felt my brows snap together. Their gaze at me had my anxiety spiking up dangerously high.I swallowed the spit that was starting to b

ASHLEYI went back to the kitchen and let out a sigh of relief when Zelda already had everything prepped. I kissed her cheeks and requested she help me get the dishes on the table. She exchanged pleasantries with Maria like they had known each other for years. It took me a while before I remembered that Alberta had been working here for years, so they probably knew each other that way. "Let me help out," Maria offered to help me dish the food and I shook my head with a polite smile."I have it under control." I grinned at her and pulled out plates, dishing out everyone's food. It wasn't something so special. It was just curry sauce with shrimp, alongside the chicken I grilled earlier, and a little rice. I didn't know we were going to have guests over, so I just settled for a regular meal since I thought it was just going to be Arden and me. But, the women wouldn't stop gushing over how good it looks.I couldn't resist the urge to smile at them, feeling his unwavering gaze on me the w

ASHLEYI placed my hands on my kneecap, pulling my jog to an abrupt stop. My breathing came out in loud wheezes and harsh pants as I struggled to get a hold of it. My chest constricted in a dull pain that had me squeezing my eyes shut for a moment before I got upright and tied my messy hair in a ponytail. My knees were almost numb, a dull ache shooting through them. I puffed out some hair through my mouth and began jogging lightly back to the villa.Irritation surged through my veins, making my skin crawl as I remembered that I didn't get much sleep throughout the night. All I could do was close my eyes and just hope that, somehow, I would fall asleep, but I didn't. I roughly got two hours of sleep before I got out of bed around 5 am, resorting to clearing my head and this feeling of utter helplessness that threatened to consume me. I was suffocating and I needed to get out of that house before I lost my fucking mind.The light jogs I engaged myself in slowly reduced to walks and I ga

ASHLEYI kicked the door open with my legs, sauntering into the room. I shut it with my legs again and spun around to see him striding out of his closet with his phone in his hands. He was aggressively punching letters on the keypads and the sound it made was irritating as fuck. But then, I found my eyes glazing over his frame. I didn't care if I was checking him out unabashedly.The man was hot and I was damn sure he knew it too. He looked like a fucking snack. I couldn't wait to devour his crisp white shirt that clung to his leanly muscular frame, sinfully. His shirt was neatly tucked in his slacks which he paired with black shoes I was sure would cost a fortune. He had his blazer draped over his forearm that flexed a little as he typed on his phone muttering a curse word that sounded sexy as hell. I found myself tucking my lip between my teeth, gulping.He looked up from his phone and stopped typing, his lips twitching in a smirk as he took in my frame, but that smirk was quick to

ASHLEYMy hands came up to my hair and I tugged at the band that held it together, taking it off and allowing it to drop on my shoulder, cascading down my back. I adjusted my frame on his lap, shifting slightly and that earned me a grunt from him. His hands were wrapped firmly around my waist and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he took me in with his eyes that seemed to have gained a darker shade to them.Fuck, he was so gorgeous up close. My breath hitched at the sight of him. This man was a god. He was breathtaking, and hands down the most beautiful human I have ever set my eyes on. His hands trailed from my waist, settling on my ass and he cupped them, giving it a light squeeze as he buried his head into my chest, grunting softly because I knew he loved what he was feeling in his hands. I wasn't trying to brag, but those babies were heavenly. I smirked, cradling his head in my arms whilst helping him massage his scalp. He buried his head deeper into my chest, his lips brushing

JAXONMy body jerked as I turned to my side, my breath slowly seizing as I struggled to keep my eyes open, my muscles growing stiff."Rodney!!!" Mom screamed.I looked up from my phone, to see a truck heading over our way. My dad was trying to swerve to the side, in a bid to avoid running into the truck, but the brakes had failed."Mom!"No! No! The truck ran into our car, shattering the windscreen that broke into pieces, splattering everywhere, with some shards piercing my face. The car somersaulted really hard, tumbling to the floor with an ear-shattering sound.No!Agonizing screams.More screams___ I watched my mom who had blood gushing out of her head so badly as she tried to speak to me, but the words weren't forming. I watched my parents struggle to hold on to their life that was slowly slipping away from them. I couldn't save them…No!No!"Arden, baby! Baby, wake up!" "Arden!""Arden!"The voice was so distant, breaking even. I tried to focus on it, but the harder I tried
