Zyra POV

I knelt there, motionless, my knees sinking deeper into the wet ground as if the earth itself was trying to swallow me whole. My hands trembled in my lap, fingers stiff and numb, while tears crowded my eyes, blurring everything in front of me. I didn’t want this. I didn’t want to end up with him.

“I don’t want this,” I whispered, my voice breaking as the words slipped past my lips. “I don’t want to be with him.”

My gaze lifted slowly, unwillingly, until it met his.

Dark eyes.

Cold. Bot

  • BETWEEN TWO MAFIA KINGS THE STOLEN HEIRESS    Who is Alexander to Rafael?

    Zyra's POVI jolted up from the bed, sweating, shaking, the accident still replaying behind my eyes in broken, violent flashes. I pressed a hand to my chest, trying to steady my breathing, and it was only then that I noticed the other side of the room Rafael, sitting there with his leg crossed, watching me."Are you okay?" he asked.I sighed. "Yeah, I am fine. Why are you her—" I paused mid-word, my eyes catching on him properly for the first time."I wanted to be sure you were fine," he said, standing."Did you kill him?" I asked.He faltered, his back turning to face me instead. "Don't ask me questions that are not related to you, Zyra," he said, already trying to walk away. I caught him by the arm."Rafael," I whispered, stepping in front of him, forcing him to look me in the eye. "You are still bleeding," I said, reaching up to touch his face."I am fine," he said, pulling away from my hand."You should go back to sleep," he added."No, Rafael. You are bleeding, and I know you w

  • BETWEEN TWO MAFIA KINGS THE STOLEN HEIRESS    Think about it

    Micheal's POVI stood at the edge of the door, watching Rafael's car pull out of the building and disappear down the road, then sighed and walked back inside. Zoe met me halfway through the hall."Is Rafael okay, or has he become soft?" she asked as we fell into step beside each other."What do you mean, he has become soft?" I asked, leading us toward my office."Can't you see? Why did he let the boy live? I mean, this actual guy betrayed him, and he let him live," Zoe said, arms already crossing over her chest."I don't have a word for that, Zoey," I whispered."What do you mean, you don't have words for that, Micheal?" she pushed."Listen, Zoe, I am sure you have no issues with the boss. I guess you should just ask him the question yourself," I said, rubbing my forehead, tired of the conversation before it had even started.She scoffed, folding her arms tighter. "I don't think we really need to fight about it, Micheal," she said."Did you take care of the cop's lady?" I asked, chang

  • BETWEEN TWO MAFIA KINGS THE STOLEN HEIRESS    I never regret anything

    Rafael's POVThe blow landed clean across Dave's face, snapping his head to the side, and he groaned through it but didn't cry out. Didn't beg. I almost respected that."You really are a brave one, Dave." I crouched slightly, studying the blood at the corner of his mouth. "Let me guess you thought I wasn't going to find out. Or your people would kill me, because I walked in alone, and probably because I was with a girl. Huh? Tell me."I gripped his face, forcing his eyes to mine. He actually chuckled, blood on his teeth."I wonder why you always get this lucky," he whispered.I slapped him hard enough to snap his head the other way. "So you work for someone else." I straightened, circling him slowly. "I wondered why I never really liked you when I first saw you."He laughed, tired and weak, but there was something defiant buried in it. "You are just scared I was going to help Zyra escape you again," he whispered."You think I would enjoy finding you, Dave?" I pulled the knife off the

  • BETWEEN TWO MAFIA KINGS THE STOLEN HEIRESS    Kill or get killed

    Zyra's POV"You are home now," Micheal said, easing the car into the compound, the headlights sweeping briefly across the gate before he cut the engine."Would Rafael really kill him?" I asked, my voice smaller than I wanted it to be.Micheal didn't even hesitate. "Yes, he would." He kept his eyes forward, hands still resting on the wheel like he needed something to hold onto before he said the rest. "One thing Rafael hates is betrayal, or spying. And in the mafia, that is taken seriously. Walking into another mafia's territory to get information that is wrong."The words landed somewhere in my chest and split it clean in two."So he's really going to kill Dave?" I whispered. "Is there no way to stop him?"Micheal turned then, finally, to look at me properly, and something in his expression made my stomach drop before he even spoke."Don't get involved, Zyra." His tone had shifted no longer just informing me, but warning me. "Because Rafael would pay you no mercy. Okay, he might like

    Rafael's POV"Rafael... please drive slowly," Zyra muttered, gripping the handle above the passenger door as I pushed the car even faster.The engine roared beneath us, swallowing every sound around us. Cars blurred past as I weaved recklessly through traffic, narrowly avoiding collision after collision."Just make sure to hold on to something," I said without taking my eyes off the road. She tightened her grip, her knuckles turning white."Rafael, watch out!" she screamed the moment I swerved around a massive truck, missing it by mere inches.A chuckle escaped my lips and She snapped her head toward me, disbelief written all over her frightened face."What is funny?" she asked."The way you screamed." She stared at me as if I had completely lost my mind."What do those people want from you?" she asked, her voice trembling."I don't know... not until I find out." I glanced into the rearview mirror. "But one thing is certain.""My death."Almost immediately, a loud gunshot echoed throu

  • BETWEEN TWO MAFIA KINGS THE STOLEN HEIRESS    I was being watched

    Rafael's POV"I need to go," I told Zyra.She looked up at me from the edge of the bed and gave a small nod. "Okay," she whispered softly.For a few seconds, I simply stared at her. She looked calm, but I knew her well enough to see the uncertainty hidden behind those beautiful eyes."Do you want to come with me?" I asked and her face lit up instantly, the dullness in her eyes replaced with excitement."With you?" she asked, almost as if she couldn't believe what she'd heard.I nodded. "Yeah. With me." A bright smile spread across her lips. "Yeah! Let's go.""But..." I interrupted, my voice turning serious, "you promise not to leave my side." She stood up immediately."Yeah. Why would I?" she asked innocently. I shot her a look, the same warning look she had learned to fear over the years."I'm serious, Zyra."The smile on her face faded slightly as she blinked. "I won't act funny," she muttered. "Because I know what you can do when you find me."A smirk tugged at the corner of my lip

    Zyra — POVI exhaled slowly, my breath catching in my throat as the calm breeze brushed against my skin. It slipped through the open balcony doors, light and gentle, completely at odds with the storm raging inside my chest. I stared into the empty space beyond the railing, my eyes unfocused.Is thi

    Zyra – POV I didn’t know how long I’d been asleep minutes, hours, I had no idea. All I knew was the sudden, sharp shock of ice-cold water dripping down my skin, dragging me out of the darkness.“You sleep a lot,” a voice said—low, familiar, almost too calm.My lashes fluttered. My head felt heavy,

The room was dim, lit only by a flickering bulb that hummed above my head.

My heart hammered violently against my chest, every breath tight and shallow. I didn’t dare look back at first, not until I was sure the man wasn’t behind me anymore. Whe
