Elias’s POV

After I left Naomi’s room I went straight down to the Kitchen and grabbed a beer. Why did I do that? What the f**k was I thinking? I just kept pacing and pacing the kitchen.

“What has you pacing the Kitchen figlio?” I hear Lina say from behind me.

“I kissed Naomi.” She looked at me and sighed.

“I knew this would happen.” Her statement surprised me.

“How?”

“I have known you since you were born Elias. I’m not stupid” she said while giving me a look of judgement. “I seen how you both looked at each other when you first came here. You have found your soulmate.”

I couldn’t help it, but I laughed so hard that I thought my lungs were going to explode out of my chest

“Why are you laughing at me figlio?” Lina said as she raised her eyebrow.

I paused as I searched her face to find that she was being genuinely serious.

“You have to be kidding Lina.”

“No, I’m not.”

“There’s no such think as soulmates.” I demanded.

“Yes, there is. We all have a soulmate out there,” she shouted with a deadly serious look on her face. “Your mother and father were soulmates. Me and my late husband were soulmates. Soulmates is when you can’t help but be near a person. When you touch them, and it is so intense that you feel electricity shooting through your whole body. When you feel their presence even if you haven’t seen them yet. When you feel an overwhelming need to protect the other person.”

I thought about what she said, and it described exactly how I felt when I was around Naomi. When I first met her, I felt her before I even knew what was happening and started heading in her direction. I felt the need to protect her from Novikov and his men. When I touched her, I felt the electricity that Lina is explaining. Everything that I have felt since I met Naomi is exactly what Lina is saying, and it is scaring me. I can’t have a soulmate. This life is not suitable for being in love or married due to the considerable risk of dying. I don’t even wanna think about what might happen if I ever had kids.

“How is this even possible?” I asked her.

“The universe works in mysterious ways. Soulmates are one of those ways,” she said with a smile on her face. All the while knowing exactly why I was so exasperated.

“I need to get out of here.” I said while heading out the door.

“Running away isn’t going to change things figlio” I heard Lina say while I was getting into my car, and then I was off.

I didn’t know where I was going until I got there, staring at the bright pink neon light saying Say Striptease. I walked in and, as usual, Danielle catches my eye and runs and hugs me.

“Hey boyfriend, did you come to watch me perform?” she said with an innocent smile.

“How many times do I have to say that we are not a couple. We are f**k buddies.”

“Eh. Same difference. So, what are you doing here?”

I swear if this girl wasn’t such a good f**k, I wouldn’t have her about. “Just needed out of the house to get my mind off something.”

“I can take your mind off it.” She said seductively while winking at me.

“Go to the back office. I’ll be there in five minutes” I demanded as I walked over to the bar for a couple of shots before going to meet her. When I walked in, Danielle was sprawled on the sofa on her back with her legs open, showing off her folds in her crotchless underwear. I walked over to her while stripping and rolled her onto her front.

“Ooh, kinky,” she breathed, while arching her back and moving towards my bulge.

“Don’t talk,” I growled before shoving myself into her, hard and fast. I couldn’t help but wish that it was Naomi that was in front of me instead of Danielle. I could just imagine how good she would feel as I pounded into her.

As soon as we finished, I got up, composed myself, got dressed and left, while hearing her behind me.

“Wait babe! Where are you going so fast?”

“I’m not your babe!” I exclaimed.

I almost ran out the door, not even looking back to see her reaction, got into my car, and started driving. Why can’t I get this woman out of my head? She is driving me absolutely f*****g insane, and Lina made things worse talking to me about soulmates. We can’t be soulmates. I vowed when my parents died that I would never get into a serious relationship. I saw the troubles they went through just for being together. My mother was kidnapped, more than once, to get at my dad to either kill him or to get at his money. My mother was shot a few times and so was my father. I don’t care who hurts me, but if someone tried to hurt the person I love like that? I couldn’t handle it. I would go absolutely crazy, and I know it. I never want to put another human being through the s**t that is being the boss’s wife. Ever.

After a while, I headed home and, again, I bump into Lina.

“Did you have a good night tonight?” she said sternly. “Danielle rang wondering where you went to after you were together.”

“Please, don’t start Lina. My head is all over the place at the minute.”

“You know how I feel about that girl,” she said worriedly. “She’s trouble and she’s using you figlio.”

“Maybe I just want to be used.” I growled. “I don’t ever want to be in a relationship. I don’t wanna put them through everything my parents went through.”

“Oh, figlio. Your parents may have had their troubles, mainly from being the bosses of a Mafia, but they were the happiest when they were together. They said many a time to me that their relationship was worth the trouble.”

“They were selfish to put each other through that heartache.”#

All of a sudden, Lina slapped me.

“Don’t you ever talk about your parents in that way,” she barked. “That is very disrespectful young man.” As she said this, she stormed up the stairs and locked her bedroom door behind her. I am such an asshole sometimes. I walked up the stairs to her door, ready to apologise, and froze. I will speak to her in the morning when she has calmed down.

As I walked to my room, I stopped in front of Naomi’s room. What are you f*****g doing to me woman? I stood there for a moment, dying to go in just to see her, but then thought against it. No Elias, you can’t just walk into her room in the middle of the night, I thought to myself. I stood for another couple of minutes, took a deep breath, and then went to my room. This is going to be a disaster.
