THE MAFIA’S CAPTIVE ANGEL

“You look different; this is the first time I have ever seen you matte your hair.” Luca says, throwing Mani a compliment, and I couldn’t help but agree with him.

With her hair matted back, her face was more visible and beautiful.

I stared at her, seeing the spark in her eyes at Luca’s words, and she smiled.

“I have Zoey to thank; she was the one to help me get it backward.” Her smile increases. “I was a bit sceptical at first since I wasn’t used to matting my hair. But I do admit it does look good on me.”

I smile, taking a hold of her hand and bringing it to my lips. “You look beautiful, amore.” I said this and saw her eyes light up even more as she blushed.

The maids began working in, carrying with them a tray of food, which they placed gently on the table. Placing the food on the table in front of us.

Zoey walks in, takes a seat, and Mani waves at her, getting a wave in return, causing her to giggle. My lips raised up in a smile, not immune to how cute she looked.

Dinner commences, and we all start having our meal. My focus is mainly on Mani, and I pay no heed to Victoria when she walks in.

I carried on eating, drawing soft circles on Mani’s fingers, and watching her chat with Zoey and Luca while laughing at their silly jokes.

It wasn’t until I felt something cold spill on my lap that my attention shifted from Mani to my lap.

“Fucking hell.”  I yelled, looking up to see Victoria staring back at me.

“Oh my God!, I’m so… sorry, Sin, I seemed to have gotten clumsy lately.” She apologizes sweetly, but she is too sweet for my liking.

“It’s fine, Victoria. Be careful next time.”

“Sure.”  She smile.  “Why don’t I help you?” Victoria said, blatantly rubbing my crotch with the tissue on the table.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

I grabbed her hand and yanked it away from me. “That won’t be necessary. You can carry along with your meal.”

She smiled at me. “Sure then, but if you need anything, I will be here waiting.”

Fuck, I was going to have to have a talk with this woman. I’d made the mistake of fucking her whenever I needed to blow off some steam, and that was before I met Mani.

She knows for a fact that whatever happened between us meant absolutely nothing to me, and right now the only woman that matters to me except family is Mani.

I didn’t want Mani to think there was something going on between Victoria and me when there was absolutely none. I would have to deal with this myself.

I glanced at Mani; though she kept her focus on Zoey, I knew she caught the scene I’d just had with Victoria but was pretending not to. I sighed, clenching on to her hand, and she turned to look at me, letting out a weak smile.

Her gaze moved from me to Victoria before she returned it to Zoey and continued with her meal.

“I’m going to spend more time with Zoey, if you don’t mind.” Mani says, getting to her feet.

I let out yet another sigh, reluctantly nodding as I watched her make her way out of the dining room with Zoey beside her.

I got up and made my way to the bedroom to freshen up, getting out of my clothes as I stepped into the shower. I ran my hand through my hair as the water tickled my head.

After staying in the shower for about thirty minutes, I stepped out, wrapping the towel around my waist. I walked back into the bedroom, making my way to the walk-in closet, when I spotted a figure standing close to the window. I expected it to be Mani, but was surprised to see Victoria standing there instead.

“What the fuck are you doing here, Victoria?” I asked with a raised brow, taking in her appearance. She had changed clothes and now wore a sexy nightgown and robe.

“I thought I could keep you company,” she said. “You know, in case you need anything,”

A scowl made its way to my face as I stared at her blankly. “Well, you thought wrong. I believe you know the way out of the room.”

“Why are you acting so indifferent? You didn’t use to care before.” She says, making her way from the window towards me. “Let me please you, Sin; I know you want it to.”

“What we had was a casual fuck, and I’m certain you are very aware of that matter. And yes, things have changed. You aren’t needed by anymore, so get out before I lose my cool.”

Her jaw clenched when she saw how serious I was, but it was replaced by a grin. “Not even now.” She asked, pulling off the handle of her nightgown, and it tickled down her body to the floor.

My eyes didn’t leave her face, and I tilted my head, staring at her before smirking. Victoria’s eyes shone with achievement when she saw the smirk on my face, thinking I had given in.

I made my way past her over to the table, my back to her, as I picked up my gun. “I guess you leave me no choice.” I said, and her eyes widened when I turned back with a gun aimed at her. “Leave,” I said icily, and she nodded, picking up her nightwear, and stumbled out of the room.

I placed the gun back on the table and made my way to the walk-in closet to get dressed.

It was a mistake to have slept with Victoria, one that I was beginning to regret profusely.
