“It’s called the Omertà. Well articulated, like a true mafia princess,” the idiot says, destroying all my chances of getting wedded. Nikita is the gorgeous princess of the Davi mafia empire who is determined to leave the mafia world behind. The only problem is that Leo, the lord of her rival mafia empire and her solemn enemy keeps sabotaging those plans, sucking her back into the vengeful, deceptive world she desperately wants to forget. When unexpected tragedies leave her being the only heiress to the throne of the very world she despises, she finds herself mysteriously pregnant and wedded to her worst enemy, but that’s not all. She discovers just how hard it is to find information she desperately needs to find the man who hijacked her womb in a world that is governed by the omertà code of silence. Will she ever succeed? What happens when she is torn between protecting her son and her surprisingly passionate husband? To walk away she must quench the fires her mafia husband ignites in her, will she succeed?
View More*****Leo POV*****When more hours pass without a trace of Niki, I completely lose my sanity. “Hang in there. Niki is the strongest woman I know,” Owen says but I can’t believe anything until I see her. “She is my everything.”“I know and most importantly, Franco and Dion know it too.”“They are monsters, Owen, and Niki is pregnant.”“She will be fine. You have to believe it,” Owen insists and I nod my head. It’s only when Hunter gets intel about the murder of a man he and Nick once hired to build a secret grave Crego and the signals going off from the Crego grave that hope returns to me. We are an hour off but Niki is definitely still alive. Getting that assurance gets me pumped up again. My heart leaps when I see her. The love of my life. She weeps on my arms while I thank heavens for her safety. We all get a reminder of how crazy and mean Nick Davi was when Niki opens the vault. I know that he is dead, but I want to punch him really badly for speaking to my wife like that. We a
*****Nikita POV*****I wake up in an unfamiliar place. The hazy image of Franco standing above me gets clearer and I sit up. “Morning sleepyhead,” Franco beams. There is really something wrong with this man. “Where am I?”“We are in the great Crego and the weather is wonderful!” he responds with so much excitement, you would swear we were related or friends. “You drugged me,” I accuse. The last thing I remember was arriving at the cemetery and someone putting a sack over my head. Crego is in another country away. He shrugs his shoulders. “You are not the cooperative type, my friend.”“What do you want, Franco?”He opens his hands. “Money, Niki, money and you have loads of it.”“I thought we were friends,” I accuse. “Of course we are.”“You kidnapped my son!” I exclaim, Anderson rising within me. “Come on now, Niki. The little guy was not harmed.”I shake my head and bite my tongue. Nick might not be physically harmed but being snatched by strange man will still scar him. “Why C
*****Leo POV*****A week later, the country is still in chaos. People are fed up with the ruling party and begging ex president Marlone to lead them again. The politicians are throwing each other under the buss and literally begging us for forgiveness. I look at Niki. “Babe.”“You can’t be serious!” she exclaims in disbelief. “The country is burning, My Love. We can’t let it continue.”“They tried to kill us!”“I know. I think we made our point. Everyone now knows the truth. I don’t think they will ever mess with us again,”I explain. “I agree with Leo. It’s enough now,” Daniel says. “I know that you are angry, I would be too if someone attacked my family like that. Dad says people are angry and getting desperate. He can’t lead again, that took a lot from him the last time. Please, Niki. I want to get out of here and plan my wedding,” Lorraine pleads. She definitely inherited her father’s diplomatic ways. We all look at Niki, who thinks we are all too soft and weak. She is probable
******Nikita POV*****It does not take long for Hunter to return with Lorraine. As expected, he has taken extreme measures to ensure that they are not followed and Lorraine has nothing that can be used to track her here. It’s easy to see how devastated Lorraine is by Daniel’s death. I’m really curious to know her reasons for turning him down because it’s not lack of love.“Hi, Lorraine.” I keep my cold straight face. She runs to my arms and starts weeping. “I.. I.. loved him. I really did,” she chokes on her tears and I now feel bad for the lie I told. “My parents spent their lives and went through hell to unite this country,” she mumbles, a story we all know too well. “My siblings and I have always been under scrutiny. We learned very early on that anything we did could be used by the opposition against our parents,” she continues. I know that too. The whole country got to know when President Marlone’s children were mean to anyone at school. It’s been like that even when they we
*****Leo POV*****A day later….“Hey everyone, Daniel’s father-in-law is on television,” Lucas shouts and we all congregate in front of the screen. Former president Marlone’s views matter a lot to us for different reasons. He still has a lot of followers and influence here but we now we have our eyes on his daughter for Daniel. “Former President Marlone, many consider eliminating the mafia the one thing you failed to accomplish during your presidency. What are your views on what’s going on now?”the journalist asks. Former President Marlone smiles and shakes his head. “My mandate was to eliminate the criminal organisation called the mafia. So, I, and my government appointed the best detectives in this country to only focus on that. We had the best undercover agents, who infiltrated the Davis, the Booi’s and Siko’s. The so called DBS or big players in the mafia world.”We all exchange looks, wondering which one of our previous men were undercover agents. “And?” the journalist asks ea
*****Leo POV*****I get into the bathroom and find my wife puking over the toilet. This should be disgusting, right? Then why do I feel like kissing every part of her body?I crouch down next to her, gentle tag her hair back and pat her back. “You don’t have to stay,” she says before gagging and puking again. “There’s no place I would rather be, My Love.”She frowns at me. “Eew.”I can’t help but laugh at her reaction. “We are in this together, Babe,” I say with a lump on my throat. So much has happened between us, but we are still here and this baby is the stamp of our love. She gets up, flushes the toilet and rinses her mouth before responding to me. “You are very weird, Mr Booi.”I chuckle before whisking off her feet. “We are pregnant. Babe, we are really pregnant!”She wraps her arms around my neck and looks down at me in disbelief. “I told you this a few hours ago and you did not seem interested.”“I thought you were too smitten and speaking in tongues.”She rolls her eyes
*****Leo POV*****We can see the bullets but thanks to the impenetrable walls, none get through. This wall in my books, still the most impressive invention of all times. “They are not in uniform and did not identify themselves as police,” Hunter says and my lethal wife is absolutely thrilled. “We have already won the case. We just have to live through this. On them boys,” Niki says and we gladly comply. The bastards clearly did not expect us to retaliate like this. I don’t really blame them. Guns, yes, but I wouldn’t expect any mafia to have bombs and drones. We are definitely winning this without even facing the fire. Owen and Lucas are even competing on who has taken down the most of our attackers and Daniel is actually not bad despite his complaints. We are still celebrating our victory when a missile comes out of nowhere. “Abort! Everyone to the basement!” Niki shouts and we all dash to the basement. The walls and the roof shake at the point of impact, before tumbling down. T
*****Leo POV*****Niki opens and closes her mouth, speechless. Did she really think I would ever let her go?“You have a lot to make up for, Missy,”I tease and she looks at me in disbelief. Sizzling hot! “Shooting you was an accident, why am I making up for it?”“Not telling me that it was an accident and trying to tear us apart, thats what you are making up for,” I say while wrapping my arms around her tiny waist. I plan on shamelessly riding this wave forever. She smiles and curves her sensual lips. I know that means she is about to fight me and I decide to change my strategy. “I will tell Nick that you shot me.”“That will definitely get Mrs defiance in line,” Owen responds. He’s himself again now that he knows Niki did not really pull the trigger. “You wouldn’t!” Niki cries and searches my eyes. I stand my ground, knowing that I have won. “Nick! Come to Papa, my boy!” I shout very loud and Nick shows up and runs towards us. That’s my boy!“Fine, I will make it up for you,” Ni
*****Leo POV*****Niki shot me right through my heart. I took my last breath. I should be dead, except I can hear them talking. Is this how someone dies?My fingers are crossed when Owen approaches. I pray and hope that his first instinct is not to avenge me. I hope he knows that I would never forgive him if he killed my wife to avenge me. I sigh with relief when he sinks down and sobs instead. I know that he will be fine eventually, it’s Lucas I’m worried about. He is just staring into space. The boy has seen too much trauma in his lifetime. I should have insisted on keeping him away from the mafia despite his determination to stay. I hope Luca will forgive my failure in protecting his boy. Hey! If I am dead, this is not so bad. My volatile wife is still fuming, but she can’t stop herself from grieving for me. Madness is wishing you could reach out and embrace a woman who killed your, but I can’t move. I guess I am really dead. It’s a pity I will never get to kiss, touch, make sweet
