Nikolai’s POV

I leaned against the railing, watching the city lights blur together in the distance when I heard Diego’s footsteps approaching.

“Sir,” Diego’s voice cut through the evening air, “The tracking didn’t go well.”

I turned to face him, studying the tension in his shoulders. Diego had been with me for a long time, and in all that time, he’d never failed to deliver results.

“After several years, why?” I asked, though I suspected I already knew the answer.

Diego’s jaw tightened. “Someone is with it.”

I looked at him instantly with furrowed brows. For years, we’d been searching for that phone, following leads that went nowhere, tracking signals that disappeared into digital vapor. Now, when we were finally close, someone else had it.

“Any clues?” I pressed, needing to understand the scope of what we were dealing with.

Diego’s expression shifted, and I watched him struggle with what he was about to tell me. He lowered his head, a gesture I recognized as his way of preparing me

  • Becoming the Forbidden Possession of the Mafia Boss   102

    Nikolai’s POVThe mansion felt different when we returned. The air was thick with tension, and I could sense the undercurrent of chaos before we even stepped through the front door. Gabriel’s voice carried from the living room, sharp and commanding, cutting through the silence like a blade. I exchanged a glance with Adrian, who seemed to steel himself for whatever storm awaited us inside.“How can you be there and didn’t see him leave?” Gabriel’s words echoed off the marble walls, his frustration palpable even from a distance.I felt a familiar tightness in my chest, the bandages beneath my shirt suddenly feeling more constricting. The wounds were still tender, each breath a reminder of last night’s events. Adrian had seen them, had touched them with those careful fingers, and the memory of his shock still lingered in my mind. The way his eyes had widened, the questions he’d asked that I couldn’t answer—wouldn’t answer.Liliana’s voice drifted toward us, softer but no less concerned.

  • Becoming the Forbidden Possession of the Mafia Boss   100. Derek

    Adrian’s POVI typed the address Derek had sent into my GPS and pulled out of the Mancini estate, my hands gripping the steering wheel tight enough to leave marks. The drive felt endless, my mind cycling through worst-case scenarios about Isabelle while that photo burned in my memory. When I finally arrived at the destination, I stared at the neon sign flickering against the night sky: Club Pink.Derek always did have a flair for the dramatic, and what better place to conduct whatever twisted business he had planned than in a place where screams could be mistaken for music.The parking lot stretched before me as I parked my car and sat there for a moment, my engine ticking as it cooled, trying to gather what remained of my courage.I stepped out into the cool night air, the bass from inside the club vibrating through the ground beneath my feet. That’s when I saw him.A man stood near the entrance, leaning against a black sedan like he was waiting for someone. When our eyes met across

    Adrian’s POV.The same phone that I found amongst my mothers belongings. The screen was lit up, displaying numbers I’d never seen before.A countdown.00:45… 00:44… 00:43…What the hell?I picked up the phone with hands that weren’t quite as steady as I’d pretended, staring at the countdown like it might explain itself if I looked hard enough. Then a notification popped up on the screen, innocent-looking text that made my blood run cold:‘Would you like to allow this device to be tracked?’The countdown continued. 00:38… 00:37… 00:36…My finger hovered over the screen. This was it. Someone wanted to find this phone. If I pressed yes, I’d know who was looking for it. After they are able to find it. The sound of my bedroom door opening made me jolt, and my finger slammed down on the screen before I could think about what I was doing.‘NO.’The screen immediately went dark, then flickered back to life with a message that made me want to throw the phone against the wall: ‘Access blocke

    Nikolai’s POV When we arrived, the tension in the house was immediately apparent. Gabriel’s voice carried from the living room, it was loud with frustration and barely contained anger. Several security personnel stood frozen, their posture suggesting they were receiving the kind of dressing down that could end careers.“How can you be there and didn’t see him leave?” Gabriel’s words echoed off the marble walls, his disappointment clear in every syllable.Liliana’s softer voice provided a counterpoint to her husband’s anger. “I think he is fine, maybe he went to settle some things.”“He is so stubborn,” Gabriel replied, his exasperation evident. “What would have been so important? As for Adrian, where has he been?”Adrian was shocked when he heard his name, but when Gabriel repeated the question-Adrian’s voice cut through the conversation like a blade. “Locked up.”Gabriel seemed to look towards the other side of the room before realizing it might have come from outside.All conver

  • Becoming the Forbidden Possession of the Mafia Boss   97

    Nikolai’s POVThe pain that shot through my chest when Adrian’s hand made contact was nothing compared to the expression on his face. The way his eyes twitched and his lips parted in complete devastation. His eyes slowly met mine and that hint of total concern, it cut through my defenses more effectively than any blade ever could. I wanted to retreat but my feet wouldn’t move. His hands ruffled through my shirt and I held his wrist. “Don’t,” I started, but the word came out weaker than intended, barely a whisper against the thundering of my pulse.Adrian’s fingers worked again at the buttons of my shirt when I tried to struggle with him again, he hit my hand and shoved it off like I was some child.I found myself frozen.Part of me craved his touch, even knowing it would expose everything I’d been trying to hide.“Adrian, stop.” I took a step back, my waist hitting the railings and a pain shot through the wound. I grasped. But he looked at me then, really looked at me, and there
