Nessa Sims ~•~ I hurriedly went to the car without even changing back to my normal clothes because the twins convinced me to leave as soon as possible. I just removed the black heels and changed into the slides I had on earlier. We all rushed to the car and I started driving to the location Ellie had sent to me. On the way there, I tried calling her severally to check up on her but there was no answer. I silently prayed she wasn’t in serious danger. We finally got to the place and it was a restaurant. Maybe she was just drunk and had done something stupid. I pulled into the driveway and hurriedly parked the car. As I stepped out, I noticed I had been there before. It was the Rezdora restaurant where Vito and I had our first date. ‘Weird.’ I thought to myself and went to the entrance with the girls. Was she with a man? And how come everyone needed my help today? I shoved my thoughts aside and focused on saving Ellie. As the twins and I walked into the restaurant, we were greete
Nessa Sims ~•~Chapter 1 “We’ll be late if you don’t come down right now.” Ellie screamed at me. She was downstairs waiting for me to get ready for the hackathon event Tech Titans was hosting. Ellie knew I always took forever to get ready and I honestly expected her to be used to it by now. “I’ll be down in five minutes.” I applied the last of my makeup and put my hair into a bun. I was already dressed. Ellie had to drive me because she was the one with a car and I had always been her passenger princess. I went downstairs along with Liam because we were going to drop him off at my Mum’s house first. I locked up the house and we went to the car. “When are you ever going to change?” Ellie came at me before I could even sit down properly.“Maybe when I find the love of my life.”“How does it even relate?” She laughed and hit me softly.“You’re allowed to laugh but not to hit me.” I slapped her hands away from my body. The ride over to my mum’s was fun. Well, whenever it was a combi
Nessa Sims ~•~“Vito Giancana?” I repeated. “Who are you?” I wanted to act like I didn’t know who was talking, maybe he would give up on me. “You’re really going to do this? Don’t make it hard for the both of us.” He chuckled. “I’m coming to pick you up by 12 tomorrow.” He ended the call. How did he even know where I lived? I was beginning to get scared. “Why are you acting like you’ve seen a ghost?” My mum interrupted my thoughts. I hesitated, unsure of what to say. I didn’t want to tell her the truth. “Oh, it was just my friend telling me they sent my share of the prize money.” I lied. “Okay.”I went out back to tell Liam I was ready to leave. He hugged his granny goodbye.“Bye, Mum.” I waved her goodbye and we walked into the car. “I don’t feel too good Mum.” Liam always had these phases once in a while and it was hard to deal with. I didn’t want him to go through it again so I hoped it was just a mild discomfort. “What’s wrong baby?” I placed my hand on his forehead trying
Nessa Sims ~•~*Three years ago*“You’re going to be my lookout.” Ben has always been a thug. He always resorted to stealing as his last option whenever things got hard. I knew he was that way but I still fell in love with him and had a baby with him. “Why can’t you go with one of your boys? Why do you want me to be involved?” “Compassion Nessa, Compassion.” He screamed at me. He always poured out his frustrations on me, and it made me feel bad, but even if everyone around me advised me to leave him, I just couldn’t do it. “I’m not going with you.” He just wanted me there in case he got caught. Nobody would want to call the cops on a pregnant woman and the pregnancy would be some sort of excuse for our stealing. He dragged me by my arms into the truck. “Let go, you’re hurting me.” He refused and I had no option but to go with him. We got to the house he planned on robbing. He parked out front and gave me instructions on what to do in case anything went wrong. He gave me a knif
Nessa Sims~•~I pushed his hand and got away from his grip. “Are you out of your mind?” I blurted. “What is wrong with you?” At that point, I didn’t care if he was Vito or not. He was clearly harassing me. His men had already started beating the innocent man I was dancing with. I was confused because they didn’t have any reason to create a scene because of me. “Who are you speaking to this way?” He barked at me. “I thought you only wanted me to work for you? How does my personal life concern you? And how did you even find me? Are you watching me?” I asked him a ton of questions. “Stop interrogating me and come with me.” He dragged me by the hand and walked towards the door. The whole place was already chaotic and everyone stopped to watch because they all feared him and didn’t have the guts to keep on partying with him in the building. “Leave my friend alone.” Ellie stepped in and tried to loosen me from his grip. “Let go, this is none of your business.” He pushed her away fr
Nessa Sims~•~“We need to talk.” Vito’s voice cut through the quiet room.He was already dressed in his usual tux. Why was he dressed up so early in the morning? “Good morning to you too.” I pushed my blankets to the side and sat up, realizing I was not going to be getting any privacy in this house. “Yeah, we need to talk.” “One of my drivers will drive you so you can go pick up your son and get whatever you need from your apartment.” He walked towards the window and pulled the drapes to the side. “Is that all you want to talk about?”“Yeah, for now.”“Well, I can’t stay here. I have a whole life, you just can’t disrupt it out of the blues.” I tried my best to stay confident while saying it even if I was a little bit scared of what his reply would be. After thinking about it, I realized it was ridiculous. I had a son, a family, a team. What would I tell them about my absence? It didn’t make any sense for me to stay at his place.“We’ve talked about this and we’re not having this
Nessa Sims~•~I walked to the door to see one of the men standing. “Boss wants you back at the house right now.” He said to me with a sense of urgency. “But I haven’t gotten the clothes yet or picked up important things from my house.” I protested. “That’s not a problem and it can be arranged later, we have to leave now.” He said as he began walking to the car. “Why does he want me back at the house?” “Don’t ask questions, you’ll see when we get there.” He replied. I looked back to see my mum staring at me from the window. I didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye to Liam. I just waved them goodbye and gave them an “I’ll call you later” sign. I entered the car and he drove off straight to the house. As the car sped away, I felt a mix of fear and curiosity. "What could be so urgent?" I thought to myself.The car came to a stop at the front of the mansion. I could see like five different cars that weren’t there when we had left earlier in the morning. I wondered what could be hap
Vito Giancana ~•~After the meeting ended with the board members, everyone else left apart from Nessa and Damon. I sat back to look at some paperwork from my hotel. I was going over the new trainee's list while Damon was trying to talk to Nessa. Damon has always been the social one while I was reserved. I didn’t want anyone to think they had easy access to me, so I only spoke to someone new when it was necessary. Vincent and Luca didn’t really like the idea of having a woman work with us. They still believed women were weak and during their prime when they worked with my father, women weren’t allowed to get involved with the mafia. I wasn’t okay with the fact that she was going to be working for us, but she needed to. “I’m Vito’s best friend. I hope he has been nice to you?” I heard Damon ask Nessa. “Of course, I’ve been nice to her,” I answered even if he wasn’t asking me the question. Although I wasn’t the nicest person, I never treated her badly, I just tried to create a prof
