OLIVIA

“Axel wanted you to have this.”

I frowned at the shopping bag Rosa stretched out to me, my eyes burning with the anger that brewed within me.

My hands flinched the bag away, and it fell to the ground. But, all I did was lay back unbothered in bed, my hands pulling the duvet over my body.

“I don’t want it. I want to go home.”

“Olivia—‘’

“— I hate it here,” I interrupted her with a harsh voice, feeling the corner of my eyes sting with the tears that were already forming. “I’ve faced nothin

  • BOUND TO THE MAFIA LORD   Testing patience.

    OLIVIA.I wanted the truth. But after hearing her confession, something snapped inside me. I was speechless, my lips parting into a gasp.My throat tightened; I blinked my eyelids repeatedly, hoping something would change.Nothing did.I found my voice after staring at her for minutes, the background noises of people speaking and walking fading away in my ears.“Why?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. “Why did you do that to him?”Tears streamed down Rosa’s cheeks. She clasped her hands together, pressing them tightly against her chin. I sniffled, taking deep breaths to steady myself.“It wasn’t intentional.”I scoffed. She's got to be kidding me. “You fucking gave him something that could kill him." I raised my voice. “And you’ve been doing that for ‘God knows how long.' What isn’t intentional about your actions?”Her breath hitched as she stepped forward. I retreated, refusing to let her get closer to me.“I was going through so much pain,” she whimpered. “I never intende

  • BOUND TO THE MAFIA LORD   A cruel confession.

    OLIVIAI didn’t go back to my apartment.I went to Axel’s room, sobbed next to him on the hospital bed, and drifted off to sleep afterward.By the time I woke up, it was already evening. He still wasn’t awake. My eyes were throbbing, and I felt a sharp sting in them.The door opened, and a nurse walked in. I turned to face her, my stomach churning.“Ma’am?” She called softly. “There are other people outside who want to see the patient. We weren’t sure if you’d want them to come in.”I stared at her confusingly.“People?” I thought it was only Rosa. She was the only one I was expecting.The nurse nodded.I glanced back at Axel, squeezed his cold hand gently, and darted my attention back to the nurse.“I’ll be out soon.”She gave a subtle nod and turned around to leave. I felt the tears forming again in my eyes. One would think I would stop after crying for hours. But I didn’t.The tears never stopped flowing. And I wasn’t aware of how alone I was until I saw Axel in this condition.I

  • BOUND TO THE MAFIA LORD   Who did this? 2

    OLIVIAI brushed my fingertips over my lips, struggling to accept the fact that someone had tampered with Axel’s medication.It wasn’t even made for humans.“Who did this?” I whispered, my fingers tightening around the bottle.I forgot for a second that he was still waiting for me to return with his medicine. And until I heard a loud thud and sounds of glasses breaking from the kitchen, I didn’t stand up.My fear increased. I tossed the bottle back onto the couch and rushed back into the kitchen.I got to the entrance and froze instantly. Axel had collided with one of the cups of coffee. The glass had shattered around his body on the floor.He’d collapsed and drifted into unconsciousness.“Axel?!” I shrieked, panting as I rushed to his side. “Axel, please get up.”He lay face down on the cold floor, the already warm coffee trickling down his face. I grabbed him with all the strength I’d mustered and managed to pull him away from the liquid.“Axel?” I patted his face gently, growing s

  • BOUND TO THE MAFIA LORD   Who did this?

    OLIVIAI woke up the next morning feeling like my head was going to split into two. It took more than five minutes to sit upright. The windows were already open, and rays of sunlight peered into the room, threatening to make me go blind.Everything that occurred last night felt like a dream. I caught a whiff of his scent, and my stomach churned. My eyes glanced around the space, searching for something… anything that could make me believe he was there.I recalled Axel storming out after a heated argument. Something sharp tore through my body, reminding me also that I’d been attacked and bruised.My fingers raked through my tangled hair. My body felt weak like I’d been beaten with something heavy. Getting out of bed was like a difficult task. I had to hold several things to keep my balance as I walked to the bathroom.Ten minutes later, and I was done washing up. I wrapped my towel around my body, wincing at the slightest bit of pain. My right foot was wounded, and I kept leaping.N

    AXEL SALVATORE ROSSI.“Olivia…”“What were you expecting?” she snarled, tears glistening in her eyes. “That I’d run into your arms the moment I saw you?”Yes. I expected that. I wanted that more than anything, and I was so sure she’d be less upset after one week had passed.I deluded myself that it was the alcohol speaking. My Olivia would never do what she is doing right now if she were in her right frame of mind.“You’re drunk right now." My voice was raspy as I remained calm, reaching for her again. “I’ll take you to bed. And tomorrow morning… we’ll talk about everything.”She scoffed, pulled away from me the second time, and pointed her finger at my face.“Stay away from me.”That was never going to work.“Let’s go to bed.”She slapped my hands away. “Stay the fuck away from me!”I retreated, my eyes staring at how unevenly her chest rose. My fingers stroked my chin, my jaw tightening at the violent glance she gave me. She stepped forward, and I noticed her leaping on her right

  • BOUND TO THE MAFIA LORD   Not yours anymore.

    AXEL SALVATORE ROSSI.The moment the lights came on, Olivia froze. Her heels slipped from her fingers and hit the floor with a soft thud. She stood there, staring at me like she couldn’t decide if I was real or another effect of the alcohol clouding her head.I could smell the strong stench of alcohol on her, and noticed how hazy her eyes looked.Then my eyes finally dragged over her properly, seeing the bloodstain and bruises that made my stomach churn. I’d imagined finding Olivia a thousand different ways, but none of them ended with blood on her dress.Her mascara was smeared beneath red, exhausted eyes, and strands of her tangled hair clung messily against her damp skin. The short dress she wore exposed the angry marks around her arms. Her smooth thighs were smeared with mud and it left something violent twisting inside my chest.I’d spent the last few hours imagining where she was.Who she was with.Whether she was safe.But seeing her like this?It was worse than anything my

    AXEL SALVATORE ROSSI.“I brought some tea for you, it’ll help you sleep and relax better.”Rosa’s voice filtered into the bathroom where I was, standing over the shower as the cold water poured down my body.I didn’t say anything. For the next few seconds, I stood still in silence; the only noise c

    AXEL SALVATORE ROSSI.“I didn’t think you’d show your face in front of me again,” I said, my hands buried inside my pockets. “And I didn’t expect you’d respond to my call,” he retorted.My lips curled into a small smile, and I ran my tongue over them smoothly. I tutted, taking three steps forward,

I felt torn between crossroads, each a different path that could both ruin me.What was I supposed to feel?I had three different emotions coursing through me.

I took off my jacket and threw it into a corner.Nelly pushed her body forward on the bed, tossing her phone in her grasp. My footsteps quickened towards her, my jaw tightened, and I glared at her with a gaze sharper
