Falling For My Mafia Lord

Kate."Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Protect the company." Those were the last words of my father. The words I've lived in my heart ever since. It has been two years already, but the scene is still fresh in my brain. It happened one night, the day I graduated from college, and also the day I turned twenty. It was supposed to be a memorable day in my life, but it turned out to be the most unforgettable day of my life. I returned home after a small party at my school to celebrate the rest of the evening with my parents. I was met with a painful encounter of my life: the lifeless body of my mother and my father about to take his last breath. I wasn't able to say goodbye to my mother nor have the chance to do that with my father. The only words I got out of him were: "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Protect the company." At that moment, I knew I had to take over the family business which I dreaded. I always tell my father I can't handle his business

Dante"Enzo, you know how I operate my business. I don't compromise. It's either they give the bag or lose their bag," I warned. Out of all the people I work with, Enzo should be the one not to question me when I start an operation."But boss, I got information that the Black Eagle is trying to raise a much higher bid in the competitive market," Enzo countered."Damn Enzo! Do I need to be telling you what to do? I don't care what they're bidding. What I want is the result. Get the items on board. I will deal with Paolo myself," I ended the call and threw the phone on the desk. I stuffed my hand into my pocket as I gazed at the bustling city of New York through my study room window.I found myself stretching my muscles and closing my eyes as my brain brought up the image of Kate's soft hands squeezing mine. I know my fantasy imagination should be on Chloe. I don't sleep with the same woman twice, but Chloe's case was different. She knows how to skillfully give me the damn pleasure."Sh

DanteThe cry of agony filled the whole room as I watched the son of a bitch get his fingers burned out with the hot spanner. "Please don't kill me, boss."He crawled towards where I was seated and held both my legs with his bloodied hands. "Please spare my life, boss!""Boss?" I repeated, going as far as letting a smile dangle at the corner of my lips. He doesn't know what was coming his way. He should rather drown himself in the sea than choose to betray me. And that was exactly what he did. He didn't only lie and steal, he sided with my biggest enemy, Paolo Vincent.I gestured to Enzo to continue with what he was doing. The asshole emitted out a loud pain of agony as the pain shifted from his fingers to his thigh. I gripped his face, making him look at me the same way I was looking at him, straight in the eye. "Plead for your life again, and I promise you that will be the last time you'll ever speak." I spat. His eyes widened, and he shook his head.My grip on his face tightened. I

Kate"There's no doubt, Dante is not okay in the head." I hissed out as I soaked my wet hair with a towel. I had allowed him to touch me. The anticipation of him giving me pleasure. All he did was tease me. The worst of all was him telling me not to come to the poolside again. I was such a fool for falling into his trap. For allowing myself to get turned on."Kate, remember you're here for a mission, not to drool over Dante." I scolded myself, pointing at my reflection in the mirror. I changed into fresh clothes before settling in bed. Gina's call came through."I was just about to call you," I said, placing the phone to my ear."Are you sure? Or are you so busy drooling over Dante Romano that you don't have time for your best friend?" I rolled my eyes at her remarks."Excuse me. I have no time for that, please. If that's the reason why you're calling, I will hang up. I'm busy.""You—" I ended the call before she could complete her statement. She's making it sound like my mission was

Kate I had Gina tag along to the grocery shopping. I can't give a figure for the amount we spent, but it was a lot. Gina and I parted ways afterward. I thought she'd warn me against Dante just like she did the other day, surprisingly, she was quiet. Maybe it had skipped her mind. I hailed a cab back home. I had just dropped from the car when I saw Mr. Arthur driving inside the house. "Aria my dear," I said as I trekked inside and approached them trying to get inside. "Come give me a hug." I cheered opening my arms for her. She was skeptical at first and even looked at Mr. Arthur. "Go on Aria." He urged. She made slow advances towards me and hugged my legs. Because she can't reach up to my height. "That's my girl." I pulled away and bent down to her level. "Hope school was fun today?"She nodded her head. I flashed her a smile. "That's great. Let's go in. I'm sure you're hungry." I took hold of her hand and we walked inside. I made a simple and fast lunch for her. "Make sure you fi
