BOUND TO THE MAFIA LORD [BOOK 1 OF ‘ENTANGLED’ SERIES]

OLIVIA.I forced my eyes open. It was painful trying to even open them. My head was spinning, and the sharp pain I felt on my arm threw me back to the cold floor.The room was dark. Not entirely dark, because I could see a little light from the window peering in. I forced myself to sit upright, noticing that my hands were tied to my back.Tears began to form in my eyes, again. I remembered everything that had happened. The strong grip on me, the needle that had pierced into my skin, the gun that had been held in my face. I remembered everything.I had only come to find Isabella. To inform her about our mother’s life hanging on a deathbed. But here I was, tied in a dark, empty room with no sight of my only sister anywhere.I heard a gentle knock on the door and pushed myself backwards, feeling my back touch the wall. They were back. What were they going to do to me now? Was I going to get killed?I didn’t say anything. Even went as far as controlling my heavy breath. I needed to get ou

OLIVIA.Madam Rosa was very kind. And I found myself opening up to her after a few words and talks. She had a similar vibe to my mother, and it made me miss my mom even more.“You’ll be fine, honey.” Her voice calmed me down. And her hands wiped off the tears on my face. But, I still felt heavy.“Is he usually like this?” I asked her as she took off my clothes. I felt a bit ashamed, standing there, naked in front of her. I felt like a little child about to be bathed by her mother.“You don’t have to be shy around me, dear.” She noticed my shyness, “And, No. Axel isn’t usually like this.”Axel… I wondered if he allowed just anyone to call him that.I sighed, her hands leading me into the bathtub. The water felt very warm, and I found my body relaxing.“Most of the girls I usually attend to are either wounded, or half breathing.” She uttered, making me arch my brows in curiosity, “But, you’re perfectly fine. And you’ve got—‘’“— most of the girls?” I didn’t mean to interrupt her, but I w

OLIVIA “You need to eat something,” Madam Rosa’s voice urged me from outside, but I ignored her completely, sniffling my nostrils and crying my eyes out. I’d locked myself in. I didn’t want anything. Didn’t want the food she was offering. Or the life I’d suddenly found myself living. I needed my sister. My family. My old life. My tears streamed down my face, falling harder than I’d ever imagined. Isabella had been taken away by that creepy, sturdy old man. And Axel? He’d slapped me in front of everyone. And it only grew my hatred for him. “What’s happening, Rosa?” My heart pounded in my chest, and my eyes darted straight to the door. That was his voice. I stood up fearfully from the floor, my hands clamming as I struggled on what to do next. “She’s locked herself in there,” Rosa replied in a concerned tone, her voice conveying the same fear that was growing within me. I could picture her face as she tried to explain. “I’ve tried to—‘’ A heavy knock on the room door drow

OLIVIAI blinked my eyes, forcing them open against their will. My head felt like it was about to split into two halves, and my whole body felt numb.I'd passed out.I couldn’t remember anything, except for the irritating feeling I had after Rosa handed me a cup of disgusting liquid. Whatever that'd happened after that was history in my memory. The room was awfully bright– sunlight peering in through the windows threatened to blind me as it went straight into my eyes. And my mouth tasted bitter like I'd eaten crumbs of burnt bread, garlic, and cheese. Whatever I'd taken last night from Rosa was the cause of the unpleasant taste in my mouth.And I had no idea what it was.I forced myself up from the vast bed, trying to ignore the pain I felt in between my legs. Axel's finger had hurt me, and thinking about what had happened last night, I was glad he'd retreated. Because there was no way I would have been able to take all of him– deep inside of me.He was huge. Yes, huge.I hadn't s

OLIVIA.Axel…He’d yelled at me to get out of his sight— after the strange woman had walked in on us.I bit down my lower lip, feeling utterly useless at that moment. And the fact that I was half naked with my gown raised above my thighs when he pushed me away violently.But why should I be surprised?He was a heartless devil.A man who’d broken my family.Torn everything in my life apart.Rosa’s hands guided me back to my room— or my cage, as that was what it felt like.Suffocating. Restricting. “Who’s she?” I couldn’t help but ask, throwing myself into the bed with my body fully stretched on the soft surface.Rosa heaved a deep sigh, and I heard her footsteps heading towards the bathroom. “She’s Nelly.”Nelly… I allowed the name to sink in.I recalled the look on Axel’s face when he saw her and how he’d sounded almost out of breath after hearing her voice.She stirred up something within him— I could tell.Had to be his lover or someone he’d longed for.Although, I doubted if h
