The Mafia’s Price:Bound By Debt
Elena Carter never thought her life could get any worse. After years of being treated as an outsider in her own family, she thought she had finally found love with her boyfriend, Brian. But everything shatters when she catches him in bed with her younger sister. Her father, a desperate gambler, sees her as nothing more than a burden. When a ruthless mafia boss, Dominic Moretti, comes to collect a debt, her father makes a horrifying decision—he offers Elena as payment. Before she can process what is happening, she is handed over to a dangerous man who sees people as nothing more than pests under his expensive shoes.
Elena is taken to Dominic’s estate, where she is treated like a prisoner. But unlike the others who fear him, she refuses to submit.
“I'll be a good girl," I said. "But only if you treat me right."
Something crossed his face at the mention of my words. Amusement? Respect? Crossed his face.
"We'll see," he said, pulling his hand away.

Chapter: Chapter 207Chapter 207Dominic “M…mummy!” An estranged yell tore through the throat of the little girl in my arms, and I froze.My pupils dilated abruptly as my gaze fell on Elena. A crimson patch quickly spread from her shoulder, soaking her blue-white gown as she staggered backward.Her face quickly became deathly pale, and the tips of my fingers suddenly became cold.Something flashed in my mind. I seem to see myself rushing towards a woman who looked so much like Elena as an unfamiliar man aimed a gun at her. That particular scene faded again, and replacing it was that same woman, with a bomb strapped on her body as she cried. For no reason, I felt as though a firm hand was gripping my heart tightly, making it so painful that I gasped.“Elena…” I heard myself say, voice so hoarse that it seemed to belong to someone else.Before I knew it, my legs were already moving towards her.Even though she seemed to be in severe pain, she still said, “D….don't come forward. It's not safe.”I had neve

Chapter: Chapter 206Chapter 206Dominic “Are you sure about this?” I asked Richard, who followed closely behind me coldly. “Yes, young master. Our sources confirmed the information; it's true that a terrorist had arrived here under the disguise of an old man.”I glanced around, trying to catch sight of any suspicious individual, to no avail.“Which of them?”“It is Ahmed.” Richard replied, and I paused, my expression turning solemn. “The same Ahmed who killed one hundred and fifteen children in France?” I asked in a grim tone, and he nodded seriously. “Yes. Obviously he had escaped here after being chased by the police and the American FBI for months, and this place is his next target. I think it is probably because the highest number of people are present here.” He explained, and I pressed my lips together.I glanced at the children who had entered the park happily with their parents and frowned deeply. If Ahmed was not found soon, these people might lose their smiles, and I didn't want that to happ

Chapter: Chapter 205Chapter 205ElenaIt was at that moment that I received a call from Roan, making me baffled as to why he was calling.“Hello, Roan? Is everything alright?” I asked into the phone, and a deep chuckle replied to me.“What, can't I call you unless something is wrong?”Realizing that I had said the wrong thing, I gave an awkward smile and led the children into the car as I replied to him.“You know that's not what I meant.” I said, and he hummed calmly.“It's fine. I heard you are back."Without thinking much, I already knew that Mina must have given him that information, so I only sighed. “She's more of your sister than my friend now.” I said softly, and he really did laugh this time.“Don't worry, your friendship with her is safe. I had taken the initiative to ask her, and she could only tell the truth, blame me instead.” I waved my head in dismissal, and remembering that he could not see it, I quickly spoke, “It's fine, I was just saying.”“Alright. May I ask where you are right now?

Chapter: Chapter 204Chapter 204Elena“Wow, this is good, Elena. I never knew you could cook this well.” Madam Moretti exclaimed in surprise, and I smiled in embarrassment at her exaggeration. Someone of her status must have eaten foods from high-end restaurants already; seeing her praising my food made me embarrassed. Despite Madam Moretti's refusal, Dominic had still hired a chef to cook for her, and after cooking, the chef would leave. But the chef was on leave today, and before Dominic could call someone else, I volunteered to make lunch for them.After hearing Madam Moretti's compliment, I sneaked a peek at Dominic, studying his expression. To my disappointment, he remained calm, displaying no change in his demeanor. “Dominic, won't you say anything?” Madam Moretti said calmly, but I could detect the hint of warning in her voice.A muffled chuckle escaped my lips as I lowered my head, pricking my ears to listen to what Dominic would say.He was quiet for a while before saying, “It's not bad.”I

Chapter: Chapter 203Chapter 203Elena“I just said I'm not staying here; I want to go back home. You are all making a fuss; I know my body well.”“Mrs. Moretti, we are just trying to…”“Don't try anything. I want to go home; it reeks in here.”Before we even entered, I could already hear the noise of argument in the room, and as the door was pushed open, I saw Madam Moretti sitting at the edge of her bed, surrounded by nurses and a few doctors with helpless expressions on their faces.When Madam Moretti saw Dominic, her eyes eased slightly. Since I was standing behind Dominic, she wasn't able to see me quickly and only stared at Dominic. “Grandma, why won't you let them check you?” Dominic asked, approaching Madam Moretti together with Chloe.Chloe was one step faster and stood beside Madam Moretti while Dominic stood on the other side. From my position, they seemed like a couple, and I suddenly hesitated going forward. “They are just exaggerating; I got tired of using the wheelchair and already star

Chapter: Chapter 202Chapter 202ElenaMy face quickly scrunched up. “Ugly? That's rubbish. My handwriting has always been beautiful; you are the one who is not seeing well.” I retorted, feeling that my sore spot had been poked.I would never admit that he was right and I had spent hours writing just a few words.“You call that crooked handwriting that seems like an inscription made by a cockroach beautiful?” He asked calmly, and my face turned red.I pointed my index finger at him, “You, you…” but was unable to say anything. He folded his arms in front of his chest and raised his brows. “What? Am I wrong?”I didn't know how to refute him because he was right.“You've not changed; you are still annoying.” I mumbled to myself in annoyance. The Dominic I knew would also make a jest of me in the past. He might have lost his memories, but he has not changed in the slightest. “What did you say?” He asked, and I quickly changed the topic.“The handwritten words on the gift card might not be beautiful, but t
