Mafia's twin mistakes

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Nichole

I turned down a familiar road that I have been going through every single day since I have lived here, Rich Rivers Residential. This is the place filled with all but big mansions and enormous yards. Only the richest people live here and it just so happens that my father is one of them. I was so dumbfounded when I first got here, but now it's getting kinda old I guess. I parked outside the gate tk entered my fingerprint on the keypad just to enter as per usual.

The long driveway driveway that is paved and maintained to look perfect has weeds in the cracks. Dad fired our maintenance guy after he caught his little Zoey sleeping with him. I guess he is trying to perfect his family by thinking that is is all just a teenager stage.

Speaking of the devil, a loud snore sounds in the shotgun seat and I look to find my half-sister who looks like she might probably twist her neck, sleeping very uncomfortable on my lime green Range Rover limited edition car seat. I could only hope that she doesn't vomit on my seats. I saved money since I was in 5th grade to buy this car.Who even gets drunk at 5 in the afternoon? But alas, Zoey is daddy's little angel and gets all she wants. Since we are here might as well wake her up.

"Z, wake up! " She didn't even move a muscle. Argh, she is so annoying to wake up.

"Zoey, we are home, Zoe!" I chanted even louder.

This is useless. I know she won't wake up. She sleeps like she is a hibernating bear. Maybe that's what she needs, a long beauty sleep to make her soul prettier. Too bad my car isn't a beautification Spa plus I need to wake her up because the last time I left her in the car I got hours of lectures about how immature I was for leaving my poor, vulnerable sister in the car at night where there is danger. We live in mansion in the middle of a highly secured neighbourhood with more then 5 dozens of bodyguards patrolling the house, so unless you count carbon dioxide and global warming then there is nothing dangerous here. I'm not ready to repeat all that again so I need to wake her up.But how?

Insert little evil chuckle.

Beeeeeeeeeeeep!! I pressed the hooter really hard. Zoe jumped up and got into a weird stance with her eyes widened and her blonde hair fizzled. A scared look surpass her stoned, red eyes and her arm in front of her in a karate pose. I pursued my lips ,trying so hard not to laugh. It took her a minute to realise that it was me.

"What is wrong with you? Are you crazy? What are you looking at , homewrecker?Your ugly face doesn't deserve to even look at me!" she flips her dyed honey blonde hair in my face. b***h! No thank you, after all I have done for her. She called me when I was in the middle of something important , drunk I may add. She was crying and asking me to pick her up at some stranger's place. I had to drop everything just to drive for two hours trying to find this mysterious place. I had to console her by letting her use my radio to play her cringe worthy songs. Trust me, the whole ride was awful, so I think I deserve a bit of appreciation.

I sigh and exit my car. I walk towards the door and take off my shoes as I enter. My stepmother will murder anyone who dares to wear shoes in her house. She only accepts slippers or socks on her pristine white carpet. If she ever saw shoes in the mansion, you would wish you were never born. Normally I would wear shoes, just to piss her off and for the fun of it. It's totally worth seeing her botox filled face twist into a grimace, especially after paying so much money for it , but I'm not in the mood to fight her today.Looks like Me and Z are the only ones here anyways, unless we count the over exaggerated number maids and bodyguards guarding the house. My dad is the leader the second biggest Italian Mafia in the whole country, so security is most definitely needed. Our family has many enemies and we are living targets everywhere.

I was so happy when I got some good news today but Zoey like the rest of this family likes to destroy every . I really need a warm bubble bath and some wine. Then I am going to binge watch some episodes of The Demon Slayer, eat a lot of pizza and forget about my day. Even at this age, I still love watching a ime and cartoons and it seemed like the perfect way to end this horrendous day.

I head up the stairs to my room on the second floor. This house is too big for our family. I don't really like it here but I guess I should be grateful for the roof above my head. But sometimes the full on white and crystallised interior makes me dizzy. Who even wants to live in such a blinding and shiny house ? I rolled my eyes "Megan, obviously ". I wonder where my dad even got her or why he is still with her. She cheated on him with his best friend and he forgave her after inpregnanting my mother 20 years ago. But now I believe they make the perfect couple after what happened 5 years ago. My phone vibrates and I smile as I realise who texted me.

"Meet me at our spot at 8. Wear something sexy for once, cause I want to introduce you to someone important, he is a potential client. "

I smile as I read his text. He has been so busy lately he never really had time to spend with me. But right now I'm a tired.

"I'm not in the mood for all this I just came back from fetching princess Zoey at this strange place."

I explained the whole days events to him about how I had to leave a very important meeting for Z and missed the good news I was supposed to get.

"Please try, we haven't seen each other for a long time. You need to come. It's our fifth year anniversary and you can't say no. Although mind putting some effort in what you wear today, instead of your usual stuff. Wear that black dress Megan bought for you that time at the mall. " Colten replied

Anniversary? Isn't that in a couple of days. I quickly check the calendar, I'm such a horrible fiance. How can I forget my own anniversary.

Colten Black, that's the name of my fiance. We met at this new place called Revonia Hotel 8 years ago, only to find out our fathers arranged for us to be married. At first we hated each other but I learned to love him. He is sweet and considerate despite being the most feared man in Italy. Colten Black is know as for his ruthless and cold personality, but he is teddy bear in my hands. We ended up having most of our dates at the Revonia and finally decided to call it our spot and now this is where we usually come for some time together. But I haven't been there for 6 months.We have both been so busy nowadays that I hardly even see him for more than an hour.

I sigh as I read his text again. He never really appreciated my love for cartoons t-shirts. He tries to pretend nice when I'm wearing them but he always tries to get me to wear evening dresses and heels. He thinks that my clothes choices are rather childish.

I check the time on the clock in my room. It's still 5.30pm, but I want to arrive early to surprise him.

I should probably hurry up now. I quickly hop in the shower and take a quick splash to freshen up. I decided to use a lot more makeup then I used earlier and decide on a full facial makeup with a bold red lips and a smokey eye. I double check myself on the mirror my makeup looks professionally done. The freckles that are sprawled all over my face are still a little bit visible but I learned to love them because they go well with my light grey eyes that I got from my dad's side. I chose to do an afro for my hairstyle.

I move from the mirror and quickly headed to my closet.My room is so silent apart from the Billie Ellish album I'm streaming from my ipod. 'Bad guy'is playing right now as I flip through my clothes. I honestly don't know what to wear.It's been so long since we last saw each other so I need to some effort so he wouldn't get angry at me. I have to wear something nice and it must make me look hot.

My closest mostly consist of anime shirts and hoodies with some jeans and sweatpants , so that's an impossible mission. Megan, has bought a few presentable clothes' as my stepmother adequately puts it, for big functions and parties that our family always host. To be honest, I pushed them to the very end of my walk in closet behind all my Limited edition anime t-shirt and oversized clothes that I worked so hard for.

I never thought I would ever stoop as low as to wear something she bought for me volunteeringly by myself . But I have got no choice for tonight. I even wear my sexiest, blue, lacey lingerie, might as well go all out right . I chose to wear that dress Colten talked about, a spaghetti strap Louis Vutton little black dress with a lace design. The dress is tight around my chest and waist , making my chest and curves look bigger. I paired the outfit with my prada black 3 inch red bottom pumps.

I was finished by the time the clock reached 7pm, I grab my keys by the key holder. As I stepped in the garage I see my father.

"Hello father, has your trip gone well."

He ignored me and walked past me and into the house. Meet my Father, Donaldson Agostino, the world's greatest father of all. He always gives me the cold shoulder but I promised my mother that I would respect him, even if he acts like I don't even exist.

Now i am left our family driver in the garage , Davis. He has been working for my Dad since he was 30 and now he is 50 years old. He is so loyal to my father even when my father is a jerk 95% of the time they are together. Davis is the only one who understands me and always tries to cheer me up.He is more of a father to me than my own father and I have great recpect for him. I turn and hug him. I was really hoping to talk him but now im in a hurry .

"Hey Davis, you guys are back earlier than expected "

"Hey miss Alison" he bows to me. i keep telling him not to do that but e keep doing it. It makes me very uncormfortable as he is an elder to me but Megan insisted he always do this.Scolding him wont help me anyway." One of the partners couldn't make it to the meeting so they had to reschedule. Your father decided to stay a little longer with Mr. Black about your wedding date between his son and you" Davis never really liked Colten. I think its because of the fact that Colten used to be a player but now he changed his ways for me. He stopped so that marry me and thats what i love most about him." Are you going out, may I escot you. "

"Oh no, I will be okay I am sure you are exhausted from driving for 4 hours already. I'll be fine I'm just going to meet Colten at the Revonia. Plus I might be back tomorrow so you won't be able to wait for me. "

"You are right about being exhausted but you matter more than a few hours of sleep. Im not letting you go out there alone. ill leave once I am sure that you are safe and inside." I nod my head. i dont to worry him so I got in the back of my dad's Rolls Royce. We talked for the whole journey to the hotel. He was telling me about his grandaughter's recent visit and how naughty she is ,we laughed and even sang. But we finally got to the entrance of the hotel. I waved to goodbye to Davis and entered the hotel.i took my coat and purse to one of the staff for safe keeping. I keep on pulling this dress down , can i regret me wardrobe choices now. I could feel many pairs of eyes on me. i walk over to the reception. I see an unfamilar face as I approach the front desk,she has a name tag with the name Ronda written on it

"Hello, I have'nt seen you around here are you new? " at first i could see the confusion on her face .I smiled at her "Pardon me,My name is Nicole Agostino, Im Mr.Blacks Fiance." realisationed dawned on her face.

" Welcome miss, sorry for not recognising you, I heard about you but everyone said you are this ugly ass girl but clearly they are lying cause you look bomb. My name is Ron for Ronda ,I'm the new receptionist and you cant fire me because you like me" I laugh as I looked at her, she is right about liking her. She is bubbly and energetic. She is wearing the uniform hotel uniform and she tied her dreadlocks in a tight bun.

"Well, Ron ,my name is Nick and word of advise don't let the others hear you because they all act like a bunch of brats who can ruin your life." I wink at her "But if they give you trouble just give me a call , they already hate me so it will be a pleasure to help."

"I like you Nick. So what can I help with?" she gives me a big smile as she takes my cellphone numbers and place them in her pocket.

"I am looking for my so caled future husband. I am a little earily and i wanted to suprise him, do you know where i can find hime?'

" Mr.Black is in his office but he is in a meeting at the moment." she says

"I'll wait outside his office.It was nice meeting you Ron." I turned and started heading over to Colten's office. I enter the private elevator using a card he gave me. The ridebup felt longer tham usual. I could feelin my hands sweat. I began fiddling with the necklace on my neck. The last gift from my moter before she passed away . The elevator arrived on the floor of his office , everything is dark and quiet. there isnt even one soul in the corridors and its starting to freak me ou. i was about to call out his name when I heard a crash coming from Colten's office. without thinking I rushed over to the doornob when i heard sounds.

Not just any sounds but the sounds of passion. The dreading sounds of an affair .My hand dropped from the doornob and my heart dropped as well.Then a little bit of Hope grew in my chest .

"Ohh Colten, right there.Please , Ohhh" Well that hope is desroyed now. i back up from the door confused and hurt. how could he chet on me. We were fine and we love each other. My face feels wet , tears are rolling and i suddenly become dizzy. He is having affair behind my back. How long has this been going on? I have so many questions but one is definetly louder than the others.

Who?

"Oh s**t, look at the time I'm supposed to meet Nicole in 30 minutes " I hear his panicking voice sound. I decided to hide behind a huge plant by the door . The women with him tries to calm him down" Thirty minutes is still to long , spend more time with me. That slut doesnt deserve you at all."This voice sounds way too familiar to me. It couldn't be her right.

Silence flows in the room. I hear a belt buckle and shuffling of feet on the ground.

" I'll call you after I meet with her OK, remember our plan. Don't be blinded by all this. Me and you won't have to hide anymore." kissing sounds begin to fill the room again. My heart slowly getting darker with every echo I hear. What did I do to deserve being used. All I ever did was love me with all I had. As cliché as this sounds he wrecked me off like a piece of trash. I want to badly get in there and hit him so hard and ask him why. I need to control myself so I can think rationally. After a while they stopped. The office door opened and I hid farther into the shadows. A pair of polished and expensive shoes that I remember spending all my allowance on sttep out first. Ironic, why not cheat on me and while you are at it wear the shoes I worked so hard to buy for you. But that was not the most surprising thing at all. Not after I was those red custom made heels that belong to only one person in the city.

My very own stepmother, Megan.
