THE MAFIA'S PENANCE

IT'S ENTIRELY MINE

Vernon kissed me on the bed when we went to the hotel after his uncle's house. It was too late because it was already showing almost eleven o'clock at night.

On top of the bed I let Vernon fuck me like he used to. Even so, my mind is still filled with the words Licciardi who tells what happened to both parents Vernon.

The real father of Vernon—Antonio Sanzio is a follower of La Nostra. He spied La Nostra into Camorra but Vernon's father betrayed him and his wife killed him.

It all happened when Vernon was 5 years old and that meant before I was born. The Skjoldbjarrg family, which is now the Vernon family, took care of him and made him the eldest son. However, what happened was Felipe Camorra who raised himself and made him the successor of Camorra.

Now I get it. That's why my parents didn't like Vernon and even Vernon said he wanted revenge on La Nostra. All the more complicated, he should not have married me if he wanted revenge.

I thought back to my first meeting with Vernon in a dream. That 10-year-old boy is Vernon. I was kidnapped at the time and I was very sure that the kidnapper was Camorra because at that time they took me to Naples and I remember once that I was at Felipe Camorra's house.

What was the purpose of Vernon marrying me just to avenge his parents? Will he ever use me for his purpose?

"What's wrong with you? Why are you just quiet?" Vernon who was on top of me stopped himself from enjoying our sex. "You crying?" Vernon looked me in the eye very close.

It seemed like I unconsciously let out tears at the thought that everything I thought would be right happened. Vernon just wants revenge on my parents who killed his parents.

There was no answer coming out of my mouth and just trying to wipe away the tears that were involuntarily coming out. Vernon stopped himself by plucking his possessions from inside my body and lying next to me.

"What did Licciardi tell you?" Vernon asked after sighing.

I'm still silent because I don't want to say anything. My fear of the thoughts in my mind made me feel like I didn't want to know the truth. I'm afraid that Vernon would say that it's all true. He will use me as his revenge on both my parents.

"Tell me?" Vernon asked, looking at me.

Still nothing came out of my mouth, I just chose to remain silent by turning my position into his back.

After that Vernon didn't say anything to me. I just felt himself kissing my nape before I fell asleep tired of everything I was thinking.

In the middle of my sleep I was shocked to open my eyes when I heard Vernon delirious. My heart ached when she mentioned the woman's name in her sleep. The name of the woman he still loves, Wynetta.

"Wynettaa..." Once again Vernon called it and this time his eyes opened.

It seemed that he realized that he had just mentioned that name when he saw me staring at him in the dark as he opened his eyes. Vernon was silent by looking at me who did not react.

My heart is very sick at this time. I love Vernon but he still loves that woman. I am his wife and always with him, even we make love almost every day but it all makes me feel very sad because in reality only the woman is in the heart and even in her dreams.

I turned my sleeping position to my back trying to close my eyes again without saying anything to Vernon. It seems that my decision to go with him was wrong.

"Viv..." Unexpectedly, Vernon grabbed me in his arms. "Sleep, we'll take a walk, we'll spend some time together today." Vernon's whisper after it kissed me.

At the hotel restaurant, Vernon and I had breakfast together. Hardly anything I told him. Hearing herself mention Wynetta's name while sleeping made me become a bit angry with her.

"After lunch, I'll be back. We'll take a walk and have dinner together before tomorrow morning we'll be back in Sicily. There's something I have to do to end this. Enjoy your time while I'm gone, Viv. But don't leave the hotel without me." Vernon.

"All right." That word is all that comes out of my mouth.

Vernon kissed my lips after finishing his breakfast and left immediately.

I chose to spend this morning at the hotel's cafe bar by drinking a cocktail accompanied by Esteban.

"Looks like the mistress thought of something?" The Esteban I asked sat on the bar stool to my right.

"Does it look like that?" After saying so I drank the cocktail in the crystal glass with a single gulp. "No you're wrong, I'm not thinking about anything but a lot of things." I smiled at Esteban's smile.

"Yes, it seems I have to follow the words of a motivator like you." Answer me with a smile. "Est, where are you from?"

"One in a small village in Umbria." Esteban said after drinking lemon tea in his glass.

"Umbria?" I looked at Esteban. "What's the name of the village?"

"Castelluccio." Esteban answered while sticking his lips to a glass of lemon tea that still contained half a glass.

"Castelluccio?" Manya make sure.

"Yes, it's a small village of only about 150 people, on a snow-covered plateau. But the view is beautiful in the spring. There are green plains decorated with poppies, violets, and rapeseeds." Bright Esteban.

"really?"

Esteban reached into his pants pocket and took his cell phone, then opened a photo that he immediately showed me.

A photo of her with a background of colorful flower scenery looks so beautiful.

"Sicily and Naples only have the sea, the lady also told me that she has been to Genoa, right? There is a port and a sea too. I don't think Venice is as beautiful as my place on the plateau." Said Esteban put his cell phone to the table.

"You live in such a beautiful place why go from there?"

"You don't want to because there's nothing there but beautiful scenery. There's not even a woman as beautiful as a mistress." Answer Esteban.

Hearing him I just chuckled as I finished the rest of the cocktail in my glass.

"One of those times you have to go out there and see it, madam. Just tell me if you want to go there, I'll be your guide while you're there." Esteban Smile.

"Of course, I wouldn't be there if I wasn't with you." My answer.

Esteban's phone on the bar table shook. The young man looked at his cell phone screen and saw the name of Vernon who called him.

"Mr Vernon?" Esteban looked at me.

"Surely he called me. I left my phone in my room." Excruciate.

Esteban received a call from Vernon. It seems that Vernon asked her to take me somewhere.

"Mrs, sir asked me to take you to lunch together." Esteban.

I involuntarily chuckled because it seemed like Vernon and Esteban's relationship was getting better now.

"What's up, madam? Why laugh?" Ask Esteban.

I didn't want to answer it and preferred to get off the chair and walk out thinking about what Esteban said to me.

What the young man said was true. I don't have to think about everything at the same time. Ah, I don't have to think about anything about Vernon's parents' death or about his love for Wynetta. All I have to think about is making Vernon love me.

I have to make it completely mine.
