Mafia Love Affair: From One Night To Forever
Persuading

fragrance of vanilla.

The moment of silence between them lasted long, even, Autumn's sobs turned in to hiccups and finally died down and she was now relaxed, breathing calmly in his arm. Alessandro hid his face in her hair, whom he had untied, taking in the Suddenly Autumn noticed her position and pushed him lightly making space between them. Alessandro let her go however, his gaze was fixed on her puffy and red face. She was getting puzzled by his constant stare and was looking everywhere in the room except him.

'What are you doing?' annoyed she glared at him.

'What? I did nothing', knowing very well what she was hindering to, but he acted like an innocent and play along with teasing her. The combo of her shyness and annoyance together was making her an attractive woman. 'Don't look at me like that' rolling her eyes, she rested her hands on the hips while talking to him.

'How am I looking at you?' he raised his brow at her demand, a playful smile playing at a corner of his lips.

'Sandro!' feeling helpless she yelled at him and punched him on the arm. Alessandro laughed, after a whole day, he finally laughed and the source of his laughter was the woman his heart yearned for.

'I love you Autumn, never ever try to leave me, not even think about it, okay?' he spread his strong arms around her and pulled her towards him.

Autumn bit her lower lip and muffled down her sob. He was reading her expressions and her actions didn't get miss by him.

'Please try to understand, me being a mafia will bring no harm to you or kids. In fact, it makes me stronger and powerful' he digs his fingers on the flesh of her shoulders, Autumn gave him a blank stare, Alessandro sighed. 'Come, we should sit down and talk' he drags her with him and made her sit on the single couch in the room, whereas, he himself crouched down on his knees, holding her soft hands in his. Meanwhile, she stayed quiet and let him speak, she thought that they need to communicate their fears to each other if they want to keep their relation, hence she let him say whatever he has to in his own favor.

'Listen Autumn, I don't know what image you had about a mafia person in your mind but I can presume the way you reacted today that mafia people are bad people' 'Are they not?' the slip of tongue was out of control.

'Actually, you are right. Mafia people are bad because their means of earning is illegal and we take advantage of our power by controlling people and authorities' Autumn rolled her tongue, she should not snap at him like that, let him finish. She told to her brain.

'You said in the morning that we kill people, so here you need to understand one thing and that is that we do kill people and but they are not innocent either, in fact they had played a fair part of dirty in the society and around good people so we just punish them or you can say that karma is real and one has to face it.' He was choosing the words very carefully, doing his best to convey his message to her without giving her chance to raise another objection on him. 'Bad or good, they are human being and no, we are not the one to decide who needs to face the karma, and if that karma is the thing that those bad people face, what you have to say about your case here then?' 'I am not a bad people Autumn' Alessandro got offended, she was still blaming him and calling him bad man.

'Oh really? Don't you kill people?'

'No, I have never killed any person' Autumn's mouth opened in shock.

'I asked my man to kill' he accepted the fact but his voice was so low that if they were not sitting so close, she wouldn't have been able to listen what he has said. However, listening to what he has said a frown promptly made its way on her beautiful face.

'What is your role in a gang and for which gang you work?' surprisingly she was calm and was not reacting emotionally, may be somewhere internally she had accepted the fact that she loves him and it will heart wrecking situation for her to leaving him.

Alessandro pursed his lips and glanced at her, although she was acting calm but her eyes were glaring at him like anytime she will start beating him. He cleared his throat before answering her.

'I am the owner of the gang which belongs to our family and about name, we get recognized by our family name in underworld' there was a long silence from her side, it was difficult for her to accept that the father of her kids is the mafia leader.

'what your family do in mafia? What is actually your work?' she felt suffocating as if the air in the room was shortening and she had to open her mouth to inhale more and more air that could reach to her lungs and help her to fulfill the requirement of oxygen of her body.

'We smuggle goods' it was the most appropriate chose of words to explain her what they do, although he was expecting another counter question from her and as expecting she swiftly asked him. 'What sort of goods?' Alessandro ran his hand at the back of his head.

'Safety equipment' Autumn squinted her eyes at him.

'Fine' groaning he gave up. By now he has realized that this woman is not easy to deal and he will never be able to hide anything from her.

'We smuggle weapons, fighting tools and drugs' shaking her head she sighed and rested her head on the back of the couch. 'Hey' he got scared immediately.

'What about kids?' out of nowhere she asked an unexpected question from him which made him speechless for a moment.

'What do you mean?' he demanding elaboration of her question.

'Will Logan and Ethan will also become part of this mafia business?' Alessandro sat down on the floor, his leg had gone numb by sitting in same position with crouched leg putting all weight on his one foot. 'What you want me to say?' he now had reached to the where her question was coming.

Autumn locked her gaze with him, as if she was transferring her thoughts and concerns through eyes to him.
