Alexi’s POV

I was not a morning person. I hated the overly romanticized idea of waking up to the bright rays of sun as they fall on your closed eye lids.

Do you know how uncomfortable that is?

So, you can imagine how most of my morning would go. I will be cranky most of the time and surviving only on coffee.

I was most definitely a night owl but the nature of my business demands at least a quarter of my night life and to have an elaborate dinner is like a distant dream for me.

The only time I get to relax and have food is in the noon.

That day I was devouring the club sandwich that my chef Paul made, specially customized to my liking. Normally I didn’t care for the taste of food, but that day I was particularly impressed by the preparation. Maybe I should give him a raise.

Biting into one of the pieces, I filled my mind with the good things that were happening in my life. I had a successful empire, and every day I thrive to keep alive my father’s legacy. The sum of my achievem

  • Bought By A Possessive Mafia Lord   Sabotage

    Alexi was successful in keeping Pavlov away from Kayla, initially.She clutched a drink in her hand and remained closer to Stella, avoiding eye contact with anyone, especially Alexi, much to his dislike. Nevertheless, he didn’t make another attempt to approach her.“How did you know it was my birthday? I never told anyone” She enquired to Stella.“Alexi told me. I don’t know how he found out” Stella replied and took a sip from her non-alcoholic drink. Kayla also chose a plain drink but she wondered why Stella chose to have the same, despite being old enough to consume alcohol. Rich people enjoyed them more, she figured.“Oops! Mikey is calling me. Gotta go” Stella excused herself to join her husband. Kayla put down her drink and observed them, mesmerized at the way they looked at each other. Miachael had his arm wrapped around her waist as her whispered something in her ear that made her laugh. They made an adorable couple. Unbeknownst to her, a smile perched on her lips.Someone clea

    Kayla stood in front of the bathroom mirror, trying on a pair of earrings Stella gifted her when, the lights suddenly went out. She was surprised at the power outage because Mr. Volkov did look like someone who could afford a generator and hoped for the electricity to be restored within a few seconds. She held her breath and waited a couple of minutes but no luck. There was only pitch darkness, thanks to the time being night.“Please don’t slip…” she prayed as she felt her way out through the wet tiles and came to the window of the bedroom.Strange enough, the courtyard was empty under the dull moonlight, not a single patrolling guard in sight. It was usually inhabited by at least five men.“Where is everyone?” concern fluttered inside her as her eyes ran circles down the yard, trying to catch a sign of life.What puzzled her even more was the deafening silence of the mansion. She could not remember the last time the place was this quiet. A familiar feeling of eerie apprehension coile

    Kayla was having the nap of her life. She dreamed of enjoying a fun day out with a Taylor Swift album blasting on her headphones. *Thud* *Thud* *Thud*The obnoxiously loud noise disturbed her, jerking her awake.“What is that?!” she fluttered her drowsy eyes as the sound repeated itself.“Nooo! I wanna sleep!” she pulled another pillow over her head and tried to nullify the effect of the banging. To her disappointment, she could still hear it. Vividly.“There goes my sleep!” she flung the pillow away in annoyance and laid on her back, staring up at the ceiling. She was completely awake now.But the series of unusual sounds made her curious.Wondering where it came from, she slipped off the bed and padded to the window that overlooked the garden and the front yard. She scanned the entire perimeter for the source of the disturbance but nothing was out of the ordinary.There wasn’t even any construction going out on the streets. She then closed her eyes and focused on the sound.Strange

    Alexi jogged up the stairs of his mansion after a midnight chase down of an enemy when he spotted Zack standing at the doorway with a worried look.“Hey” Alexi patted him on the shoulder and for a moment the boy’s nerves melted but his face was still scrunched up.“What’s wrong? Were you late to turn in your assignment again?” Alexi chuckled but Zack’s face remained tensed, conveying that something had gone wrong terribly. Alexi’s eyes grew dark.“Come. We will talk in my office” Alexi ushered his partner in crime into the private space. They both got in and the moment Aalexi bolted the door, Zack began panicking out loud.“They have caught us Alexi. They are coming for us. They will hunt us down and kill us. They will kill all of us”Alexi quicky grabbed the boy by the shoulder and gave a good shake.“Look at me, Zack” he commanded lowly, but Zack’s eyes were wild and out of focus.“I said look at me dammit” Alexi shook him harder, finally gaining his attention.“I’m Alexi Volkov and

    Mikayla was getting bored so she decided to help out in the kitchen. The staff were surprised to receive an extra hand but grateful nonetheless.That day they were baking muffins for dessert, and that too her favorite blueberry flavored ones.While stirring a bowl of batter she accidentally spilled some over her dress. That is when it dawned on her that she never wore an apron. She was too excited to do the baking that she forgot to wear one.“Child, you cannot walk around like that. Sir would not appreciate it. You should go and change” a senior staff advised Mikayla. She nodded in obedience, detecting a motherly love in the lady’s tone.She quickly jogged upstairs to her room and decided to take a long bath before putting on a new dress. She was all sweaty from running in the kitchen and her hair was also covered in flour. A refreshing bath seemed apt at the moment.Alexi was in his room, shouting at his old weapons supplier when his ears picked up a strange melody floating nearby. I

    “I... I didn’t do anything. Please let go of me” the girl tried to pull away her hand but it only pained more when the pointy nails dug into her milky skin.“Don’t you dare dream about having your way with him. He is mine and will always be” Gianna rolled her eyes, her gaze sharp enough to cut through Kayla.“I don’t want your man. Besides, if he wanted you, he would definitely show” Kayla shot back before standing up and forcefully snatching her hand away.Gianna’s face turned red with embarrassment and rage but before she could make a comeback Kayla turned on her heels and sped away.It was too much drama for her to take, just for having breakfast.Alexi returned a moment later. He had missed their interaction, but by the way Gianna’s face glowered, he could sense something was off. Instead of checking up on her, he pulled out his phone and pretended to be texting.After Gianna was done with her food they drove to the destination, him behind the wheel.The business meeting went as pe
