Nessa Sims~•~I could feel Vito’s gaze on me throughout the ride but he looked away whenever I turned to look at him. It was a silent ride and we barely said any words to each other. Shortly after, we arrived at the Plaza Hotel. The name was boldly written at the top of the building. The car glided through the gate and we pulled into the parking lot. A lot of luxurious cars were already parked there. We got out of the car and I felt a surge of excitement as I looked over the building. “Walk with me.” Vito stepped out of the car and took my hands. I felt a nervous flutter in my stomach as we walked into the entrance. As we got in, a host pointed us in the direction where the event was taking place. We walked down into an open space filled with different people. I could tell they were all rich just from the way they dressed. I still had no clue what the event was about. I accompanied Vito as he went on to exchange pleasantries with all the people he knew. I could tell he was known

Nessa Sims ~•~ The next few weeks were adventurous and sneaky for Vito and me. We would have quickies at any chance we got, we even snuck into each other's bedrooms in the night. We decided to keep it a secret from everyone. I didn’t even tell Ellie about it, someone who knew every detail of my life. She would be so disappointed whenever she found out but I wasn’t ready to tell her about it. I had blown it off several times when she teased me about Vito. I always said I didn’t want to do anything with him. I was clearly lying to her and myself. Vito, on the other hand, didn’t want Damon or his associates to know about it. So he also kept it a secret from everyone. Even Tremani, who was always present at the house, had no idea about what was going on. I was having the time of my life. I always wanted to know what having sex with him felt like and I was glad he wanted me too. I still accompanied him on his missions where he needed my hacking skills, but we acted indifferent towards

Vito Giancana ~•~ The incident that had just happened had Nessa’s ex written all over it. I wasn’t too sure but I guessed he would come for someone else close to her since I warned him against doing something to Nessa or her child. He wasn’t thinking straight trying to go against my words. It didn’t matter whether he did it directly or not. Hurting Ellie was hurting Nessa. Maybe he didn’t get the warning I sent to him the last time. I didn’t mention anything to Nessa and Ellie. I just stood there thinking of what to do next. I got back into my car when Nessa said she was going to take care of it from there. I didn’t give a fuck about her best friend, but this wasn’t about her best friend. It was about Benjamin trying to disrespect me. On my way back home, I called the officers at the prison to make sure they did what I asked them to do the other time and they confirmed they did. Did he think that was the worst I could do? I was merely warning him. Every reasonable person knew not

Vito Giancana ~•~ “That’s why you shouldn’t be falling in love.” I chuckled, watching Nessa’s reaction to my words.She blinked at my words and I could see a hint of disappointment on her face when her smile deflated.“What do you mean?” She gave me a flat look, dropping her cutleries on the table. “I mean, you shouldn’t fall in love so you don’t get hurt,” I explained slowly like I was talking to a child, knowing it would agitate her. I was enjoying the show and I wanted to see if all these months we’d been messing around meant anything to her. “Okay, that’s how it is?” She got up and without waiting for an answer from me, she stormed upstairs. Was she already in love with me? We never talked about our feelings. I didn’t know exactly how I felt. I knew I liked her but I never thought of falling in love. It wasn’t part of my plans in life. Even though I found myself doing things I shouldn’t be doing, I still tried to ignore the fact that I liked her way more than I had ever liked

Nessa Sims ~•~ It was two days before Thanksgiving and Vito’s family was arriving. He had already gone to pick them up from the airport. He also asked me to go to the store to get some groceries because we were going to be making dinner ourselves that night. He wanted to be the one to prepare the meal his family would eat. I had no idea he could cook. It was already noon, I got ready and decided to make a quick stop at my mum’s house before going to the store. Vito didn’t let me go out without security and I didn’t want my mum to know I was moving with security. So, I asked them to park a few blocks away and then walked to the house. I wanted to see Liam since I wouldn’t be spending Thanksgiving with him. I really wished I could or at least invite him and my mum, but my secret would be out of the bag. “Hey, baby.” I smiled and called out to Liam who was playing on the front porch. My mum also sat there watching him. “Mummy!” He exclaimed, abandoned his toys on the floor, and th
