Fallen Angel, Part 1: Fallen Angel Series - A Mafia Romance

“Do you miss him?” I asked.
“A lot. He came from nothing, started with nothing, and whether what he did was right or wrong he took every opportunity that came his way.”
“So where did you get the money to buy the businesses?” I asked.
“I earned well from Joe, saved, won a lot from fights, and to be honest, I didn’t have to pay a large amount of money for any of it. He was earning well from what I did and it was his way of thanking me, I guess.”
“Where did the name come from, Vassago?”
He smiled, “Vassago is a Fallen Angel. Depends what you read, but the only one with a good nature, discoverer of the lost and hidden and Commander of the armies of Hell. Joe told me that one day I would understand why I chose that name,” his mouth found mine in a tender kiss.
“Do you understand now?” I asked.
“Yes, I found you.”
“Robert, you’re Vassago, the Fallen Angel with the good nature.”
That night we didn’t make love, we didn’t fuck; instead we climbed into bed and I held him. I watched him fall asleep and that peacefulness that always fell over his face. It was a first though. Robert had a need, whenever he was stressed, anxious, or I’d delved too far into his past, he erased it with sex. It was as if he had a compulsion to connect with me after he’d told me something I might not like. He had, I guessed, believed that sex cured all. Only now was he realising that it was love, love cured all.
He turned onto his front. He always ended up in the same position by the time morning came and I let my fingers play over his back, fascinated by that tattoo. I remembered that I’d asked him if the fallen angels were ever forgiven, and his reply was that he hoped so, one day.
Letter from Brooke
I think I believe in God although I’ve never really been to church or been christened. However, I do believe that some external force brought Robert and I together. It’s so hard to explain if it’s something that you’ve never experienced. The minute I met him, there was a connection and whether I’ve portrayed it well or not, I truly believe I was destined to meet him. When I first saw him, that day in the kitchen, I knew him, I mean, I really knew him.
It was as if, by meeting Robert, my life came into focus. I had a purpose, a worthwhile role on this earth. It took a few traumatic experiences to really understand it, but once I did, I felt that I’d found what I had always been searching for, my soulmate. I was to heal this man; I was to fall so desperately in love with him that the feeling hurt sometimes, and I was to help him learn to forgive himself.
I can’t say I believe in Fallen Angels completely, but who really knows the truth? Here is a man who in one way is unworldly; he has certain gifts. Perhaps those gifts are part of the human mind that most of us have lost the ability to use, or perhaps he is something else. All I’m certain of is that he is a remarkable person and I feel totally blessed to be part of his life.
This isn’t the end of my story and I hope that you’ll enjoy reading more soon.
