MAFIA TIES

Tangled in the arms of the heir to a rival mafia family But seems like life has other plans This is only the beginning >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> As I entered heads bowed one after another their respect was for my title for the blood coursing through my veins. I am the mafia princess or how they called me queenpin👑 “Good of you to join us, Elisa “Gio said He stood there , the epitome of arrogance wrapped up in a tailored suit. “Wouldn’t give you the pleasure of not showing up cousin “ I said . Shortly we were interrupted by my dad’s speech “the Vincenzo family has been the backbone of this city’s underground for generations our name carries weight and commands respect here in Chicago. Times are changing and with it, we must adapt. We need someone who understands both the legacy we uphold and the future we face. Which is why I have made my decision, you have the ruthlessness, the cunning, and the virtue . You’re the one I have chosen ,Giovanni.” I stood there angry surprised betrayed not know how I felt at moment . I could see the evil smile of fulfilment on giovanni’s face. Moments after dad’s speech I went to have a word with him in private “Elisa , your passion has always been one of your greatest strengths,but it must be tempered with reason. “ Dad said “Reason!? My whole life has been dedicated to this family. And you’re just throwing it away?” I said “Giovanni has qualities necessary for leadership that “ “I’m not some naive girl with fanciful dreams father i understand the shakes the responsibilities. I am ready ” I said cutting him short “ there are decisions that must be upheld for the good of the family “Dad said . His words were final, but I knew one thing for certain this was not the end. “So be it then father “ I said leaving the room when I bumped into Giovanni. “Running away ? I thought we might celebrate my new position together “ he said “Celebrate your good fortune giovanni. But remember fortunes can change.” I replied back “ careful, Elisa. Ambition can be as dangerous as any weapon we wield.” “And betrayal can turn allies into enemies. Remember that” I said to him “Make no mistake, Elisa I will lead this family to greatness with or without your blessings “he said and left the office Back at home I couldn’t help but pace around the room in anger Can you stop pacing in your room and tell what happened ivy came in and asked ? I had called ivy earlier to rant. Ivy and I are best of friends What happened ? She asked again . Gio thinks he’s won by being named heir, that he’s defeated me “But he hasn’t, has he ? Ivy asked He hasn’t, I’ll have my revenge. But tonight, I need to have my worries go away I said to her . Are we going out ivy asked in excitement Yes, we are going incognito. The club will never know what hit it. I got dressed immediately tonight I am not Elisa Vincenzo I am just an ordinary girl and the night is mine to claim At the club People moved in sync to the beat of the music, their bodies a blur of motion. I could feel the energy of the crowd pushing and pulling me in all directions . Let’s get a drink ivy suggested I’ll get a mojito cocktail I said to the bartender “There you go she said after some minutes “ As I took my first sip the stranger besides me leaned in, his breath uncomfortably close to my ear. “Hey there beautiful , what’s a girl like you doing here all alone” he said Back off , I said “Damn this shouldn’t turn me on” A strange voice said . The stranger’s eyes met mine across the crowded room and for a moment it felt like all the noise had been sucked out of the space between us. He was tall confident and every inch of his build screamed strength, power, and dominance. His aura filled the room creating a magnetism that pulled me in like a moth to its flame. HE WAS TROUBLE!! The kind that left scars. The kind that I was inexplicably drawn to tonight. “ Do you get turned on by other people’s trouble, or is it just my lucky day ?” I asked “Well I’m a sucker for sexy women who speak their minds. Are you ? I asked “Tho that outfit isn’t exactly club worthy. May I ? He said sitting down next to me “ I could turn you down too if you’re into that “I said “ I don’t think you want to” he replied I am not your typical woman I assured him “ I can see that there’s much more to you beyond just your beauty. He said I have been known to be as hot as fire I said to him I have never been afraid of a little heat and pain he said And what makes you different from the rest I asked “ I am here, right ? No tears are running down my face and I am close enough to smell the deep ambers of your perfume . Why don’t we make this interesting ? He asked I like how this sounds, I said what do you want from me ? Just a dance he said , What if you fail to impress me? I asked I won’t he said with so much confidence He moved closer to me on the dance floor until our steps align perfectly , his hands find my waist pulling me close until there’s barely an inch of space between us The warmth of his touch sets me on fire making everything around us fade away . The way you move drives me crazy. He whispers, His voice husky with desire. In that moment I can’t help but crave more of him, more of his touch, more of his intoxicating sensation of being the lost in his arms. Well you haven’t seen anything yet. With a playful smile I place my hand on his chest , the contact sending a jolt of electricity through me . He smirked and leans into my touch, the warmth of his body radiating through me. Want to take it up notch ? He asked Only if you can handle it I replied. We’ll show me you are not all talk he said . And I did exactly that . I moved even more closer to him, our bodies brushing against each other as we moved to the beat. His hand slip up to my spine, pulling me tighter against him and I pressed my hand further into his chest . He was affected by it as much as I was. I could tell by the rapid beat of his heart beneath my palm. His hands started to explore more boldly tracing the curve of my waist before venturing upwards, his fingers grazed the bare skin of my back. A shiver ran down my spine at his touch and before I could respond he spun me around to face him. Can you feel it ? This pull between us he asked as his thumb traces my bottom lip causing me to catch my breath. My heart pounds as he leans in, his warm breath fanning across my face. My phone beeps and ruins the mood It’s ivy asking for help…
