Griselda POV
Walking downstairs with Arcado, we saw Skyler and Dexter waiting for him. Once they saw him, they bowed their heads slightly, while Arcado nodded at them.
“You go ahead”, Arcado said and kissed me on the forehead.
Giving him a small smile, I made my way to the kitchen and looked around. The maids were doing their work as always, but Sophia wasn”t here yet, so I walked to the fridge and pulled out a bottle of water. Taking a huge gulp from it, I sighed in content.
Turning around, my eyes widened as they landed on Emily, she had a smirk on her face as she looked me up and down. I squirmed uncomfortably and focused my eyes on the floor. Gulping down the lump on my throat, I closed my eyes and willed myself to calm down.
“I wonder what Arcado sees in you”, she said loudly.
My eyes once again focused on her and I made my face blank of any emotions, but no matter how much I tried to calm myself down, my throat just kept closing up and I fumbled with my hands nervously. Anxiety was crawling it”s way into me, and I was afraid I would pass out from the lack of oxygen.
My eyes blurred, as black dots appeared. Blinking rapidly, I tried to get rid of them but that made it worse. Biting my lip, I kept the sob that was making its way up my throat. I didn”t know why I was feeling this way, but I knew I was still afraid of people who weren”t close to me.
“Leave her alone, Emily”, I heard someone shout and a pair of arms curved around my waist.
“Hey hey, it”s okay now, she”s gone”, Someone whispered into my ear.
It felt like hours until my vision cleared and I could take deep breaths again without any trouble. Looking up, Sophia had concern itched onto her face and I gave her a small smile assuring her I was okay. She let out a sigh of relief and hugged me tightly.
“Are you okay? She didn”t do anything, did she?”, She asked frantically.
“No, no I am okay”, I mumbled.
“You want to sit down?”, She gestured towards the chair.
“No it”s okay, I”d rather help”, I responded.
Nodding her head, she made her way to get the things ready for breakfast. I was so engrossed on my work that I didn”t hear someone makes their towards me. Arms snaked around my waist making me gasp. Slightly calming down, when his scent enveloped me, my cheeks turned deep crimson at the contact.
“W-what are you doing?”, I stuttered.
Not uttering a single word, he nuzzled his face in my neck while I glanced towards the maids, who were looking at us with startled expressions. Inhaling deeply, his chuckled and made me turn towards him.
Blue eyes instantly, stared into my hazel ones. I didn”t know how a person”s eyes could be so hypnotic, but as I stared into his, I found myself drowning into them. His eyes spoke a million words, it showed affection, tenderness, but most of all his eyes showed that he cared.
In this moment, it felt like everything and everyone else disappeared. It was just us two as we gazed at each other”s eyes. I found everything about him hypnotic, it felt like my heart was lurching forward, wanting to capture his attention and wanting to tell him about its feelings.
“You”re so beautiful”, He uttered those words again.
A smile crawled it”s way onto my face and I leaned into him, his hands gently stroked my face and my eyes closed instinctively enjoying his warmth. Those three words were on the tip of my tongue, but I forced them to not to be uttered.
“Everyone”s looking”, I whispered, as my eyes darted to the maids.
“So, let them look”, He leaned in and kissed the corner of my mouth.
Out of the corner of my eyes, I was Emily glaring towards us and she huffed angrily stomping out of the kitchen. I suddenly felt like she liked Arcado, and my fear grew once again thinking the worst. What if he liked her back? What if they had a thing going on? These questions made my insides clench painfully.
But as I looked at his beautiful eyes, those thoughts instantly vanished and my doubts cleared as I saw the intense look in his eyes. My hands cupped his face and his eyes closed with a slight smile on his lips. My heart burst happily, knowing I could make him smile with just a slight touch.
“Come on, let”s sit”, He entwined our hands together and made his way to the dining room despite my protests.
Pulling out a chair, he motioned for me to sit down, I knew better than to argue with him so I just gave in and sat down. Sophia entered through the door with the utensils, placing them on the table, she gave me a small smile and walked out.
“From now on, you”ll be sitting with me”, As he whispered, his breath tickled my ear and I let out a giggle.
“You”re tickling me”, I spoke.
Amusement flashed around his eyes as he grinned at me. He glanced towards the door and immediately his expression changed to blank and I glanced to see the guards making their way in. My focus gathered towards my plate as the guards sat down quietly.
The maids, made their way in and placed our foods on our plates, I began to stand up to help them but a hand shot out and grabbed my arm, Arcado shook his head with a firm expression and I sat down slowly.
As we began to eat our food, I made a mistake as my eyes glanced towards Emily who was standing at the far corner, she had a murderous look in her eyes that made me squirm in my seat uneasily.

Arcado POV
Glancing towards Griselda, I saw her shaking while looking towards the corner, I looked at where she was looking and immediately, my jaw clenched as I saw Emily throwing daggers at her with her eyes. I wished I could just fire her right here, right now, but I knew I couldn’t because of my so called father.
He made me promise I wouldn’t fire her because she didn’t have parents and had nowhere to go. When she was twenty, she got engaged to one of my men, but a tragic thing happened and he was taken away from us. I guess in her own twisted way, Emily did really love him, but once he died she became a totally different person.
No matter how many times I told her I had no feelings for her, she wouldn”t give up, instead she would try to seduce me. I was really tempted to just throw her out of the house but then I would be reminded of my promise I made to my father. I didn”t know why he liked Emily so much, but I didn”t question his motives.
Turning my attention to Griselda, I nudged her with my shoulder and her attention turned towards me. Instantly, her tense muscles relaxed and she gave me a small smile. I gestured my hand to her food and gave her a fork.
“Come on, eat”, I said softly.
Nodding her head, she picked up the fork I”ve given her and took small bites of her food. Once I made sure she continued eating, I returned my gaze to my men. They were still talking about the business I made with the Russians and how it would be helpful if we got them on our side.
They still didn”t know about my plan except for Skyler and Dexter. I would inform them once I got the Russian guards on our side. I knew they were eager to take out the Russian leader, so the Italians could take over them. But we had to be cautious because Kulah was one clever motherfucker.
If he somehow found out what are intentions are, then he wouldn”t hesitate to barge in with his armed men and probably kill all of my men. But my men were stronger, smarter and I had no doubt they could take out anything if harms came their way. I was proud to say, my men were loyal and didn”t take orders from anyone but me.
The two seats were still empty and I wondered if Skyler and Dexter were okay. They were spying on the Russians to see if they had something up their sleeves. I wasn”t worried about Dexter nor Skyler, I was just anxious to see if they found out who Kulah”s fiance is. He”s been hiding her ever since he got engaged but after she ran away, he became quite.
He would always brag about her pussy being tight which made me angry to no end. During the meetings we always had before, I would clench my jaw and fist my hands to keep myself calm. No one should talk about women like that and I wanted to rip the fucker to shreds when he talked about his fiance like she was trash.
Laughter echoed around the room and once again my eyes focused on my men. They were laughing at what one of them said and honestly, it made me happy to see them joking around. They were always so serious when it came to their jobs, but once they sat at the dining table they would let loose once in a while.
A movement caught my attention and I turned towards Griselda to see her standing up. Also, standing with her, I entwined our hands and tugged her out of the dining room. This time she made no protests as she followed me quietly behind, up the stairs.
Stopping at my office doors, I pushed them open and let Griselda step in first. Once she was inside, she turned towards me while I made my way inside and closed the door. A smile made its way onto my lips, as she tilted her head to the side adorably and gazed at me.
The intensity of her eyes made my knees quiver and made me fall a little harder for her. She was so beautiful that my heart sped up just by looking at her. Taking a step towards her, I tucked her fallen hair behind her ear while her cheeks burned a deep red.
“I missed you”. I murmured.
She leaned in and captured my lips without saying anything. Her boldness made me smile and I kissed her back with passion. Putting every one of my feelings into the kiss, I tried to tell her what I”ve felt for her.
Pulling away, she gasped for air, as I kissed my way down to her neck. Finding her sweet spot, I kissed, sucked, and licked until she moaned and threw her head back giving me more access. God she was addicting, I couldn”t get enough of her, just the look in her eyes was enough to drive me crazy.
When she first walked into my life, I promised myself I would treat her like how I treat my maids. But with her beautiful personality and her hazel eyes, she captured my heart without me knowing.
I was thankful for god giving me such an angel. She showed me a way to love even though there is no love in the mafia world. She showed me people go through so many things and they come out stronger than ever before. Without her, I don”t know what I”d do right now.
Her moan was music to my ears, when I bit her soft spot and licked the pain away until all she felt was pleasure. I pulled her closer until we were chest to chest and gazed at her while she blushed profusely.
“Arcado please”, she pleaded. I knew she was wet and was begging me to let her come, so I obeyed her words as my hands wandered to the hem of her dress.
My hands found her panties and I pulled them aside. A groan made its way up my throat as I felt her wetness. I rubbed her clit and entered my two digits to her entrance until her body convulsed and she came with a loud moan filling the room.
I captured her lips with mine and kissed her until we were both out of breath. Pulling away, I leaned my forehead against hers.
“I love you”.
