Adrian’s POV

The name Felix Guerrero had once passed my ears like a warning bell-back when Nikolai had rescued me back at the Moretti mansion.

Nikolai had mentioned the name to threaten Francisco.

Now, standing in front of me, Felix didn’t look dangerous at first glance. He had that kind of mischief carved into his smile, the kind that made you second guess your instincts. But instincts were screaming now.

"Adrian Moretti," he grinned, pointing a finger in the air like we were old friends. “I heard the Mancinis just handed you the government project. That’s big. They must trust you well, huh? Didn't you just married Isabelle like, a month now?"

His tone was too smooth. He stepped closer clapping his hand and then rested them on my shoulder with an ease that didn’t sit right.

My eyes narrowed deeper and then I gave him a dead stare.

When he met my gaze, he little scoff escaped his lips and he took his hands off, muttering an apology that rather made my skin crawl.

Why was he here?

  • Becoming the Forbidden Possession of the Mafia Boss   69

    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

  • Becoming the Forbidden Possession of the Mafia Boss   68

    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

  • Becoming the Forbidden Possession of the Mafia Boss   67. While it lasted

    Nikolai’s Pov“Sir, some reporters are here, they said they were invited by Mr Adrian.” Gregory whispered into my ears.“He invited more reporters?” “Yes sir. Should I allow them in?” My eyes have not left Adrian since Felix's arrival. There was an eerily feeling coughing my skin that I couldn't place. When and how did Adrian meet Felix?“Adrian's whereabouts report? Have you found anything?” “Nothing yet. He is always at the office and then home. He goes to the town site. There is nothing odd about his movements. He hasn't met anyone apart from the people involved in the project.” “Then how did he meet Felix?” I frowned at Gregory.“You aren't doing your job well. Retrace his tail, and find out where and how he met Felix.” “As for the reporters, let them inside.” Gregory wasted time as if he didn't hear me, I could tell he never expected that I would give approval. Gregory walked off and I focused my attention on Adrian again. A staff member had whispered something in his ear

  • Becoming the Forbidden Possession of the Mafia Boss   66. A suspicious surprise

    Adrian's POVI straightened the cuffs of my shirt and reached for my watch, fastening it slowly as the soft ticking reminded me I was on borrowed time. Outside my window, I could see the crowd gathering by the mega golf course. Spotlights swept the manicured lawns, laughter floated in the air, and luxury cars lined the driveway like prized ornaments. The party had begun, and it was everything the Mancinis wanted the world to see-Their power, wealth, and influence. Even the president was present.I adjusted my tie in the mirror, breathing through the weight pressing against my chest. Tonight wasn't about appearances for me, it was about answers. About finally placing the first card on the table.The door creaked open behind me.Isabelle.She stood at the threshold, radiant as always in her pearl gown, but her eyes flickered with hesitation. Two days had passed since the dinner. I hadn’t spoken a word to her since."Are you ready now?" she asked, voice soft. "I’ve been waiting... so w

  • Becoming the Forbidden Possession of the Mafia Boss   65. He could see through his hate

    Nikolai's Pov Nikolai’s POVThe door clicked shut behind me, and the scent of lavender polish mixed with old wood welcomed me home. Before I could take a breath, one of the maids hurried up with a slight bow.“Sir, your presence is requested at the dining room.”I nodded silently and shrugged off my coat, handing it to Gregory without a word. His eyes met mine for the briefest second, searching for something. I didn’t stop. I was tired. Not from the long day, but from the silence that sat inside me like a stone.The echo of my shoes on the marble trailed me as I made my way to the dining room. Laughter spilled out before I reached the door.Gabriel, Liliana, Isabelle and Adrian.All already seated and eating.I took my seat beside Adrian, who didn’t even glance at me. His posture was stiff, his grip on the fork a little too tight. Something was off again.Gabriel set his wine glass down with a satisfied clink and smiled at me“Very good work, Nikolai. The project is finally complete

  • Becoming the Forbidden Possession of the Mafia Boss   64. Everything he needed to know

    Adrian's Pov Unsealing the documents Felix had placed before made my breath hitched. I stopped for a while, it felt as though I was betraying someone.But I wasn't.This was the best, this was what I've always wanted. But I couldn't open it. I just couldn't. The thought of deceiving Nikolai, caused every veins in my body to burn. I could never imagine it. My eyes instantly reddened and when Felix’s voice muttered-“Are you alright Mr Moretti?”I looked at him with disgust. Then I moved the document to him.“I'm sorry, but I've decided to do this alone.”I'm very stupid.My father was right. I'm pathetic and weak. Why would I be presented with my killer's details and I won't even look at it.Why did I suddenly start finding excuses for him? Was he propelled to do it? Would he still do it now?Do I even mean anything to him?I wasn't fit for this. I have failed myself.I took to my feet trying to get away from there as soon as possible, but Felix laughed so hard that it irritated
