The Mafia's Woman

Chapter 7

-Marcello-

Four weeks and three days. Four weeks ago I spent the night with her and it was the best night ever. There is no woman who has been able to enchant me as much as she has. Camilla.

I flew to New York a number of times, but she wasn't there.

We talked about everything that night, but not about where she comes from, or what she does. She didn't ask me and I didn't tell her.

I know it was a one-night stand, but she enchanted me. Everything about her was enchanting. Where I thought she would be too soft for me, she got along perfectly with me.

She checked off all the boxes of the woman of my dreams. And when I woke up that morning and she was gone, I wanted to smash everything to find her. Since that moment there has been a certain unease, unease that I cannot explain.

My phone rings and I see my sister Valentina.

"Hey." I answer.

"Hey! Can you pick me up this afternoon with the kids?" she asks.

"Where's Vince?" I ask her. Not because I don't want to pick her up, but he's always with her and he wouldn't just leave her alone.

She laughs. "He's already gone to the venue. But I still had the twins asleep."

"Okay, is your carviable?" I ask "Otherwise I'll call James for a bus!" I joke.

Valentina laughs "Vince left the car here."

"I'm on my way."

I turn the car and drive to her and Vince's house. It's not that far from me, but I was in the office. I park my car and when I get out the twins come running my way.

"Uncle Marcello!!!" Frank yells and when he's with me he pretends to fight with me. I pick him up and throw him in the air.

"Me too!!" shouts his little brother Donni. When I put Frank down I pick up Donni and do the same. "Where's mommy?" I ask.

"Inside. Are we going?" asks Frank.

"Yes, but I have to help mommy with the girls." I answer. He rolls his eyes and Donni walks in with me.

"Hey!" I shout when I see her and I see that she looks tired. "Are you okay?" I ask and she nods.

"Yes, but five children in four years is tough Marce." She sighs.

I look at the twins who are now four months old.

"Where is Emilio?" I ask.

"He’s in the box." Answers she and I walk to the living room where Emilio is standing and hanging over the box.

"Hey! Carful, you will fall." I call and walk faster to pick him up.

"Self Self!!" he angrily shouts at me and I shake my head. I lift him out of the box.

"You can walk next to me, we're going to the car." I tell him. He holds out his hand and lets me hold him, but he wants to walk himself. I roll my eyes and I hear my sister laughing.

"This is always the case." She tells me.

"Shall I lift the twins?" I ask and she nods.

"Come on Emilio, you can go to mommy." She shouts.

"no!!!" he screams and shakes his head. "Uncle Marcello!" he shouts.

"It's okay, you can join me." I say. Valentina puts her hands in her side.

"And we just wonder why all the kids love you so much." She rolls her eyes.

"Frank, Donni, we're going!" she shouts. The two oldest boys come running and walk with Valentina. "They have stopped holding hands since last week." She informs me.

"They're 'too old' for that." She uses the air quotes. I roll my lips so as not to laugh. I lift the double Maxi-Cosi with one hand and the other hand I hold Emilio.

I have to bend down quite a bit and this is really killing for my back. After five steps I'm done with it and pull Emilio's arm up on my arm. "So my friend. Otherwise we won't be at the car tomorrow."

He starts laughing and he tries to climb even higher. Finally, he sits on my shoulders and holds my chin. Valentina shakes her head, but ignores it and she helps secure all the children. After all these years, there is one thing Valentina no longer does and that is driving. She never had to do it in NY and since she lives here with the kids she has never gone in the car again.

She walks with the children or goes on the bike or there is a brother somewhere who wants to pick her up.

When everyone is seated, we go to the academy.

"We have another dinner tonight, Enrico has opened his restaurant and if all goes well, we will eat there." She says. I nod. It's a long and exciting day.

Valerio, my sister's twin brother, passed his police exam and he took an exam for a higher position. Today we hear whether he has succeeded and whether he will get that other position. And if all that is not exciting enough... he's going to propose to his girlfriend Jenna. Then it would be extra nice if he also gets that higher position.

We were three families, but more and more we are one family, or maybe we are making new families together. I park the car, Valentina calls Vince where they are and I help Donni out of his seatbelt. Frank is already loose. They jump out of the car.

"Stay here!" I shout and both immediately stand still. They turn around "Come, stay with the car." I tell them. They come walking back. Emilio is already screaming that he wants to get out and the girls start complaining.

"Tina!" I shout. She hangs up and comes to help quickly.

"Guys I want hands, because it's busy here." She instructs them. Frank and Donni cross their arms and Frank gets ready to give his opinion.

"Come you give me a hand, or I'm going to lift all three of you." I call and look at Emilio.

"up!" he shouts and stretches out his hands. Valentina starts laughing. I put Emilio on my shoulders. Donni and Frank come walking next to me and luckily both children are taller than average for their age and the fact that they are twins, so with their arms outstretched I hold both.

"Will you make it with the girls?" I ask and Valentina flips out some scaffold and the Maxi-Cosi clicks on it.

"Fine." She laughs.

Together we walk in. I see the rest of our family and I can already feel Frank pulling on my hand. "Frank, we had a deal." I say sternly and he looks up at me angrily. Only when I see Vince do I let him go and call for Vince. He sees us coming and the smile on his face is priceless. His whole face lights up and the boys run towards him. Emilio starts floundering and when I put him on the ground he also runs, as best he can to his father.

"Thanks, Marce." Valentina hugs me and I kiss her on top of her head. Then I greet Valerio's brothers, his parents, my parents, my brothers, and Vincenzo's brothers are also there.

"You're eating tonight too, right?" asks Enrico.

"Yes, I didn't have any plans yet." I answer.

"Good, because I want everyone to see that everything is already full." He laughs.

It is announced that the ceremony is beginning and we all have to find our seats. I end up next to my brother Christiano and on the other side is Vincenzo.

"Uncle Marce, can I sit with you?" I look in front of me and see my niece Sofia and I take her on my lap. I look at the stage and several people get their diplomas.

"Then we have arrived at the last part." Says the man on stage.

He is the current Sheriff of Cliffs, he was chosen by us, a few years older than Ricco, my brother. "There were several candidates for the team leader exam, but only one person successfully completed the exam." He says. "To do this ceremony and appointment, we have also invited a special guest. She hasn't lived in Cliffs for very long, she came here from Washington. She is a highly respected colleague, working at the FBI and working as a teacher at our academy for the coming year. May I have a warm welcome for Camilla Matthews."

He says it, my head does a double take. But when she walks on stage it's as if Sofia is stomping on my stomach and all the air is leaving my body.

"Acquaintance?" laughs Ricco and I give him the look that says 'shut up'. Camilla Matthews.

She is wearing black boots, black jeans with cracks at the knees, a white basic shirt, and a black leather jacket. Her hair is still almost white or gray and my fingers remember how soft it is. I don't hear what she says anymore but I'm enchanted to see her again.

She doesn't see me. I hear her voice and I'm not here anymore, but I'm back in the hotel room. Where she begged me to go harder, to give her more and not to stop.

I walk to the bathroom where she washes her face. My hands land on her hips. She no longer has the heels on and when she stands up straight she comes just under my chin. She looks up and I lean down to kiss her again. Her hand grabs my d*ck and she caresses up and down. I pick her up and put her on the counter.

"You had me fifteen minutes ago," she laughs. "How can you be hard again?" I stop the attack on her neck and look at her.

"Because you're so f*cking sexy." My hands come up to her n*pples and I roll them between my fingers, her head falls back and I bite a n*pple and her hands come to my hair. I push my d*ck against her cl*t and move up and down. I know it drives her crazy and she starts wiggling more and she moans out of frustration that I'm not going inside her. I pull her off the counter and slide her over my d*ck again and we both moan. With me inside her I walk to the bed and slide in and out of her, very slowly.

"You're driving me crazy! Harder!" she shouts and she tries to move up, but I hold her too tightly. She comes up and bites my shoulder. Then she smirks and grabs my chin with one hand.

"f**k me Marcello, please, I need you." She drops herself and then the last bit of control I had left snaps and I throw her legs over my shoulders and thrust hard into her, over and over again.

"Are you coming with me?" I look up and see that everyone is standing up. Sofia is already off my lap. I have to find Cam.
