The Mafia’s Seductress

–Next Day–

Ever since I sked him, he’s been avoiding me. Not physically. He still holds me, kisses me and occasionally says something naughty but he is avoiding the subject. As Im finishing folding clothes, I feel two big arms wrap around me and two hands rub my stomach.

“You okay baby?” He asked. I nod. I stop and turn to face him.

“Are you?” I ask. He sighs. He knows exactly what I mean.

“I’m afraid to tell you about that part of my life Isa. I was more monster than human back then.” I sit him on the bed and took his face in my hands.

“Now listen to me and hear me clearly. I don’t care what you did or how you acted in the past. You are not that person anymore. Everyone has a past baby. No matter what, I’m staying right here, with you and our baby” I put his hand on my stomach and his breath hitches. I can tell he wants to cry but he doesn’t.

Rafael POV

“I told you that when my brothers and I became of age, my father told us every man is born with a talent. My talent is blades, knives, anything shiny and sharp really. I was a natural with them. I saw the target and never missed. Of course, back then we let our weapons do more of the talking than our mouths. One day my father gives me my first mission. I was a little too over excited.”

-FLASHBACK-

“There’s a man by the name of Henry Labeau. He owes us money from the liast shipment. I want you boys to find him and persuade him to gtve us our money. I don’t care how you do it.” Dad ordered. Igrabbed my blades and neatly put them in my pockets, smiling at my brothers.

“He was my first victim. My brothers and I found him at a casino spending all his cash on slots and hookers. He was about to get head behind the casino when we so rudely interupted. When the hooker saw us she ran.”

“Well well well brothers! What do we have here?” I toyed with him. My brothers forming a circle around him so he couldn’t run.

“Oh hey guys!” He nervousty laughed. “I was just about to come find you guys.”

“You’re late on your payment Henry.” I took a blade out of my pocket and twirled it in my fingers.

“I swear I have it! I just need to go get it!” He yells. I knew he was lying. He was gonna try to run. They always run. I took my blade and threw it, burying it deep into his shoulder. His screams were music to my ears. Ipinned him to the wall and took another blade, pressing it to his throat.

“I can always tell when a man is lying. It’s one of my many talents.” He winces.

“Why are you lying to me Henry? Do you know how that makes me feet?”! shove the knife deeper into his shoulder, twisting it. Blood poured out of his shoulder.

“I’m not lying! I swear! Ahhhh!” He cried.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“I see. So you have money for gambling and hookers but none to pay us? I mean, I guess I can see why. Gambing and hookers aren’t about to hurt you as badly as I am right now.” I took the blade out of his shoulder and pushed him to the ground. Hovering over him, Iripped his shirt in half and began carving him up like a Christmas ham.

“I cut him up so bad, Alfie’s words to describe it was’A Sinister Masterpiece’. That’s when the art collection began. Even after i knew he was dead, I couldn’t stop. The feeling of the blade in my hand, slicing through his flesh was so empowering. It was like my hands were the blades. I could feel his muscles and skin being torn and ripped to shreds through the handles of my blades. When I was done, his chest was nothing but strips and scraps of flesh, muscle and bones. I could clearly see his rib cage. It looked like he was mauled by a rabid animal. Pieces of him were scattered all around me.

A few days later we get another mission. Another guy who owed us money. We found him in his home, in bed with a woman who wasn’t his wife. I cut his throat to the bone and watched him drown in his own blood. After he was dead, I sliced ​​him up like I did Henry. Another masterpiece added to the list. From there the collection just kept growing. Every one of my victims was someone who double crossed my family in some way. I was somewhere around my thirtieth victim and my father started to see a change in me. He stopped giving me missions and started training me to be head of the mafia. But that powerful feeling was like an itch I couldn’t scratch. I went rogue for a while. Everyone who vexed me, even in the littlest way, was added to the list. That’s when I became known as The Shiv. People would cower at my name, even at a whipser. I became the most feared man on the streets and that kind of power is addictive. Deadly addictive.”

Isadora’s POV

Tears in his eyes, he looked away from me. I couldn’t form words. All I saw was a man who just poured his heart out to me about something very dark in his past. I stood there for the longest moment, trying to think of what to say. When I heard his voice, it broke my heart.

“Please baby say something, anything.” A tear dropped onto his cheek. I grabbed his face and kissed him. He was reluctant to kiss me back but he did. He grabbed me and held me tightly as if to prevent me from walking away. When I pulled back from the kiss, I looked him in the eyes and smiled.

“I’m not going anywhere baby.” It seemed like that’s all that was needed to be said. He smiled and placed his forehead on my stomach.

“I’m not that person anymore because of you.” He whispered. I grabbed his face and made him look at me.

“Me?” He nodded.

“The moment I saw you, you flipped my life upside down. I immediately wanted to be a better man for you. I had a problem and you were the solution. That empowering feeling I had with a blade in my hand didn’t matter anymore. Only you mattered. You gave me a different empowering feeling. One that I will never get enough of, ever. You not only tame the fire in me, you fuel it. You are the answer to any problem I have. You baby, only you.

“How? How did I go from being an invisible virgin, to being in the arms of a man who loves me and shows that to me on a daily basis. How did I get so lucky?” When you suggested that I take you on a date, I felt like a kid again. I got nervous, and I’m never nervous around females. But you made my heart pound, my hands sweaty and I was really worried about impressing you. My first thought when I saw you in that dress was I didn’t and still dont deserve you.” I couldn’t stop the tears from flowing.

” Don’t ever think like that. If anything, you could have done better than me. “He growled, loudly and deep.

“There is no one better than you. I only want you. As far as Im concerned, the only other females that matter to me are the ones in my family. My eyes see only you kitten.” He kissed me deeply.

“As my eyes only see you too.” I smiled. He sighed in relief and I could literally see a weight being lifted off his shoulders.

“By the way, how long were you standing in the kitchen before you attacked Leo?”

“Long enough to see him grind himself against you.” He gritted through his teeth. I giggled.

“Just so you know, I threatened to beat him with a spatula.” I stated proudly. He chuckled.

“Oh yeah? And how much damage do you think you could have done with that spatula?”

“A hell of a lot of I had gone through with what I was planning todo.” He raised an eyebrow.”

“Which was?”

“Shove it up his ass.” I smiled. He laughed. God I love his laugh. So deep and sexy. He pressed his forehead to mine and whispered.

“I love you Isadora more than life itself”.

“I love you too Rafael more than life”.
