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 ~•~*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~•~“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

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

Vito Giancana ~•~There was an awkward silence after I had realized what I had done. I stepped out of the computer room leaving Damon and Nessa behind. I swore to myself to resist all my sexual fantasies towards Nessa but I was caught up in the moment and before I could realize it, my lips were on her lips. It was a steamy kiss I didn’t want to end. Her soft lips against mine was something I had been hoping for ever since I set my eyes on her. However, kissing her was just a spur of the moment even though I genuinely wanted it. I heard Damon’s voice right behind me after I left the room. “What just happened back there?” I could see his disapproving gaze. “I didn’t mean to, I was just excited.” “I hope you know what you’re doing, and remember, people working for you are off limits.” “Yeah, I know.” “Valerie wouldn’t like that either.” Valerie’s name stirred a little bit of guilt. I wasn’t meant to feel guilty because we weren’t together but Damon always brought her up and tried
