COLLATERAL CORA

12

Seth

Almost sunrise, I am still on the bed with the love of my life.

Lucia.

The only woman that has managed to capture my heart.

Love just happened without considering the age gap between us.

Well I don't give a shit about it.

Age is nothing but a number.

Besides, who says a man must date a younger woman?

She move a bit in her sleep on my bare chest. She is laying on my bare chest and my arm is around her, caressing her hair.

We are both naked and the sheets is covering us half way. Last night was a blast as always.

Sex with her is more than great.

I was pissed yesterday. She is the reason why Cora was at East's mercy. But I couldn't stay angry with her for long. And she has been apologizing.

One of the things I love about her is, she knows when she is wrong and never feel too big to apologize.

The best part is she doesn't bother about the age. She maintains the fact that I am the man in this relationship. She has treated me with more respect than any other girl I have dated in the past that is below my age has.

She is something else.

And i am never letting go.

Nothing can ever make me.

I love her. Not even age can change that.

Our relationship is still a secret though. I am not ready to make it known yet. But I will do that soon.

Don't get me wrong. I am not hiding from something. Neither am I ashamed of this relationship but it is for her safety. This mafia is very dangerous in and out.

Once everyone finds out that she is my woman, my enemies would want to use her as bait. I can't let anything happen to her.

I will go crazy if anything does happen to her.

It is best we keep our relationship a secret. Though Iris knows, I trust she won't spill. She can be annoying most times but she isn't a snitch.

I will surely make my relationship known when the time is right.

In the meantime, we need to be at the safer side.

And that is keeping it a secret.

Relationships is not for mafia men like me. Even my brother knows that. That's why he doesn't have a girlfriend or a special one. Rather he has hoes here and there.

Including Mona.

Well she is his main hoe.

But for a special romantic relationship, I am hundred percent sure he doesn't have.

Well how would he have?

That brother of mine doesn't have a heart.
