[ Aitana ]Alessandro refused to leave my side since last two hours, he's stuck with me like my own shadow. Currently, he's sitting on the high stool watching my every moment as I cooked us dinner."Stop staring at me, it's creepy."I huffed in annoyance when it became too much to handle. I feel self conscious when people stare at me intently."Other girls would define it as romantic."He diverted his gaze from me to the pan."Well, I am no other girl but your wife with whom you spend most of your time."I said and dipped the marinated fish in the hot oil."From where you learn this recipe, it's smelling delicious."He inhaled the aroma of spices rising from the frying fish."From a Sri Lankan woman, she is our cook in my father's mansion. Om Saturdays, she used to cook this fish recipe for dinner with home prepared spices."I told him and stirred the vegetable stew in other other pot."We'll hire cooks from different region to give our appetite diversity. I can't wait to taste these crisp

[ Alessandro De Niro ]"He'd be here at any moment from now so take your positions,"I instructed my team over the microphone as we hid behind the rocks under the dark sky. There was no source of illumination except the faint light coming from the cave.The clock stuck nine thirty, we had been waiting for Liam and his men to come out from the cave. We couldn't barg inside the cave as we had no idea how long and dangerous it was or how many men with weapons were hiding inside."Make sure,you have your silencers. We can't let them find us and roast with their bullets. I want everyone to return alive, not a single casualty, okay."I reminded them as they get excited very easily. After some time, a steamer boat appeared in the ocean but it didn't come to the coast. I guess they'd use a small boat to reach to the bigger one.We waited for another thirty minutes when finally I saw two men coming out with torches, they scanned the whole area to make sure they weren't followed."We're all cl

[ Aitana ]Aching NumbnessThat's the only emotion invaded my heart since I got the most devastating call from Drake.My husband was shot twice and currently hanging on a loose cord between life and death.It had been ten hours which felt like ten centuries since I rushed to this private hospital where the best doctors of the city were trying their best to keep his heart beating for his life but the pensive looks on their faces whenever they walk out of the OT, it was very clear to me that he wasn't okay. Nobody was telling me anything about his current condition that hurt even more. I had no idea whether he had chances of surviving or....I shook my head to get rid of such horrendous thoughts.My Alessandro wasn't okay.My own father shot my husband to avenge his personal vendetta against me. A few hours ago,I was on cloud nine with the news of my pregnancy but now, the excitement had gone.My hand slipped on my stomach. My heart bled with the mere image of my child born without a fat

[ Aitana ]"Here..."I offered the terrified woman some water so she could loose her shit.I feel the immense pleasure when I see people squirming under my presence. Come on, I'll be the first female Don in the mafia history and I have to live up the image."Than...thanks." She murmured timidly, her eyes still fixed on her lap."Look, Lisy or Lisa or whatever your name is, I won't be standing here all the day and watch your shit. I need some answers from you and you are going to it give me."I said without beating around the bush."Wha..what..kind..of answers?"Her voice shook profusely and at this point, my crazy hormones did tango inside my unstable brain."Are you a toddler who is learning to speak?"I kind of yelled on her. She flinched back in fear.I sighed in exasperation.She was actually very terrified by my presence. I had to act calm if I wanted her to speak and tell me what I wished to hear from her. I dragged the stool and made myself comfortable on it. It would take time for

[ Aitana ]Alessandro made me feels those things which couldn't be explainable in words. I never imagined myself diving in the colorful ocean of different emotions opposite to my bland life. He made me feel alive, he taught me to respect my worth.Loosing someone you love dearly, is the worst fear known to the human kind. It would be selfish on one's part to think their loved ones alwayw remain in good health and when they aren't, well I was feeling in the same agonizing way.I felt like a dagger was stabbed and carved my heart out of my chest. I wanted to feel numb but the pain was a constant reminder of the fear, I might loose my most treasured jewel, my husband, my love ,my everything. I clutched on the soft material of the blanket that covered his body upto his chest. His breathing was faint, if you don't notice it closely you may mistake him as a dead body laying on hospital bed."It's been four days, Aless. For fucking days I've see those blue eyes of yours staring at me. I am
