Smitten: A Mafia Romance — Chapter 90

"God Daniella, I miss him so much." Korina groaned.

It's been two months now, she hadn't let Jace come in contact with her but she knew he was still in Spain hanging around waiting for her to give him an answer and she wondered why he was so stubborn and she knew he was going to wait no matter how long it took.

"Then tell him you have forgiven him already." Daniella rolled her eyes, "And quit your whining."

"I don't know." She said, "I am scared that he might still be hiding something from me, that something might go wrong."

"Does Andre know Jace is his Dad yet?" Her cousin asked, "Did you tell him?"

"Nope." Korina shook her head.

"Then who the fuck did you tell the kid the guy is?" Daniella asked raising her voice.

"Well...i always try to avoid the questions." She sighed, "And I restricted him from seeing Andre although I know he still goes to see him at school."

"Korina." Daniella said, "Stop doing this to yourself, Jace and your son."

"I don't even know what I am doing." Korina was really frustrated.

"It's been years babe, you know you are over what happened and it ain't his fault." Daniella said, "You know you have forgiven him, quit this attitude of yours and set your life straight give Jace the chance to become a father to Andre and a husband to you, I know he still wants to marry you, that dude is smitten."

"I don't know Dan." She sighed, "I don't know."

Daniella ended the call with her cousin and sank back into the bath tub.

Ade, the name was branded on her mind like a fire scar, she couldn't shut out thoughts of him. She was still in love with him but he didn't want anything to do with her and it was all her fault.

She often wondered if he still had feelings for her.

She was being stupid holding on to the toxic treatment Landon gave her and throwing Ade's love away, no wonder he thought she only used him.

She sighed, life wasn't fair after all, she was torn between staying back in India and elongating her holiday or going back to Spain.

Daniella didn't want to go back, she knew he would be there cause wherever Jace went, he went also. She decided to give up on having something with him, he was so mad that he didn't want her and besides, no one knew about their affair.

She concluded that staying apart was the best for them.

He so desperately wanted to ask about her cousin, he wanted to find out what went on in Daniella's life now but doing so would only bring back memories and he didn't want that to happen.

She isn't worth it, He thought folding his fists, she just used me.

Ade was never the type to love and commit but meeting Daniella made him rethink and she played him, used him.

He was thankful that she wasn't in Spain at the moment, as seeing her would only aggravate his anger and feelings.

He knew that up till this moment no one knew about their affair and what they had going on years ago and it made him determined to move on, he would try to forget her, he would try.

The following days Korina practically became a shadow of herself, she stopped going to work, she was always in the house, even Andre noticed something was wrong with her.

"What's wrong mum?" He asked touching her face, "Why are you so sad?"

"It's adult issues baby." She pecked his cheeks, "Go on and play."

He nodded and kissed her back then went off to his room.

She couldn't tell her poor boy what was going on, she felt he was wise but too young to understand her present plight.

Her heart ached emotionally and sometimes physically. The pain of being away from Jace after having him so close was too much for her to bear.

That night she couldn't hold it anymore, she picked up her phone and called Jace over.

Jace leapt off the bed after the phone call with Korina, he was super excited, she finally called, maybe she wants to give me a chance, he thought as he got dressed.

He hurriedly put on his shirt and sweat pants, grabbed his rented car keys and practically ran out if the apartment.

Ade laughed watching his best friend run out of the apartment like a mad man, he wondered what was it this time.

Korina opened the door immediately the door bell rang, she jumped on Jace kissing him and grinding on him. Jace moaned in her mouth and lifted her up, shut the door behind him, took her to the bedroom and dropped her on the bed.

"We need to talk." He said in a rasp breath.

"Fuck me first, talk later." She grabbed him down on her kissing him fully. Jace had no option than to concede, he couldn't resist her charms.

They were soaking in the bathtub after ravishing each other, Jace was rubbing his palms all over Korina's body.

"Korina, we need to talk." He said, "I..."

She kissed him on the lips shutting him up.

"Jace, I love you so much." She confessed, "I want to be with you, I want to accept you back but you have to give me time." She explained, "I am willing to try for you to love you more than I do now, I am ready to give you a chance to be a father to Andre."

Jace looked at her with misty eyes, savoring her words.

"Are you serious?" He asked, "You want me back? I love you so much Korina Black, I would do things right this time and love you and my so till my last breathe."

"I love you too Jace Lander." She winked, "Or better still Darius Alec Giovanni." She said placing her lips on his kissing him like her life depended on it.
