Adrian's Pov

It didn't take few minutes for Nikolai's gaze to instantly become indifferent.

With a seeping cold gaze, and a voice that hint at disgust, he muttered-

“Adrian, you are nothing but a child to me.”

My lips almost dropped, and my gaze failed me.

The frown, and my gritting teeth struggled to keep those words hidden in my belle.

The veins on my arms were visible as my fist tightened.

He could tell, his words had affected me. There was a sense of victory in his eyes, and when his lis curled slightly, I sensed his satisfaction.

I must have thought wrong. I could never be his type.

I'm a prey of his, and he was mine. I seemed to have forgotten my place.

His eyes bore hatred for me, and my vision would cause him to be my enemy.

How could I have allowed ecstacy, get the better of me.

That feeling was gone, what remained was pure hate for the man standing in front of me.

A child?

I bit down on my lips, trying to calm my nerves but he did it again.

    Adrian’s POVSince walking back into the mansion, a storm had been raging in my chest. I wasn’t regretting what I did, not even a little. What I felt was anger. A deep, bitter anger that I had no clear endgame. That I’d come in swinging, demanding answers, without a damn clue what would come after. There was no escape plan. No backup.And I didn’t care.If I died in this house, in this nest of wolves with the rest of them, so be it, at least I’d die with the truth burning in my bones and with revenge served right. I stood in the grand room, facing Gabriel, the air heavy with tension, the kind that could snap a man in half. I had made my move, and now the entire house reeked of violence just waiting to erupt. Still, I didn’t flinch. I met Gabriel’s stare head-on, daring him to make me bleed.Then came Nikolai.His voice thundered in the room and the security froze at his demand.. I hated how some part of me still looked for salvation in his face. I knew better. But still… a twisted

    Adrian's Pov The voices had faded. The laughter, the murmurs, the echo of glasses clinking, it all died down behind me as I walked up the slope behind the garden. It wasn’t part of the main landscape, just a small secluded hill the workers used to dump soil during construction. But from here, I could see the lights ripple across the golf course, like golden veins on green skin.It was beautiful. The wind was cold against my face, but my chest was on fire. I let my hands fall to my sides, fingers curling into fists. I had done it. I made the first move. There was no turning back."Sir," a soft voice said, "Mr. Gabriel said you should head home immediately." One of the staff announced.I didn’t turn. I simply lifted my hand in response. She got the message. I heard her footsteps retreat.My eyes didn’t leave the view. And as the wind played with my hair, my chest tightened until I thought it would collapse in on itself.I remembered the day I ran down those filthy, piss-soaked alle

    Adrian’s POVOne of them was unmistakable-Nikolai.“Have you been able to track him down?”Another voice answered him, gruff and clipped. “No, sir. We’ve put a ban on his passport. We believe he’ll try to escape through a ship. Our men are covering every known port and escape route.”A tense pause.Then Nikolai’s voice again, colder than I’d ever heard it. “Good. Make sure not a word gets to the media.”Media? Escape?I wanted to speak, to ask what was going on. But I couldn’t move. I wasn’t sure if I was dreaming or if I was trapped in my own body. My limbs felt like bricks.“What about the families?” the other man asked.Nikolai didn’t hesitate. “Everyone in the family will pay for it. Get rid of them.”My heart lurched in my chest. Get rid of them? What the hell was he talking about?The man responded in that same robotic voice, “Tonight.”"Yes boss." The next thing I heard was footsteps and then the door opened before I heard it slammed. Everywhere was still for a while but then-

  • Becoming the Forbidden Possession of the Mafia Boss   72. His first tears

    Nikolai’s POVMy feet froze.That sound-That damn shot.My heart dropped so fast I thought it’d burst out of my chest. I turned just in time to see Adrian crumple to the ground, the sand below him stained with red.No. This couldn’t be happening. My ears rang, but the gunshot wasn’t an illusion. It wasn’t a trick. Adrian had been shot.And for a second, it felt like it was me who had taken the bullet.My legs weakened, and a sharp ache clawed through my chest. My breath caught. My eyes locked on his body, already too still, and a tear I didn’t know I was holding escaped and slid down my cheek.He fell.I took a shaky step forward.“Don’t you dare!” Felix’s voice rang through the air like a curse.I didn’t look at him. I was stuck frozen to the image of Adrian, his hand clutching at his stomach, his eyes, those damn eyes searching the air for something, for someone.When he turned towards me, I realized-He was searching for me.I took another step.Bang!A bullet struck the sand ri
