Elena

Something feels… off. I don’t know when it starts. Maybe it’s the way the room is too quiet. Or the way everyone is pretending it’s not. Cillian and Kenji Takahashi are talking across from me, voices low, controlled, like every word matters more than it sounds.

I try to follow. Numbers. Routes. Something about shipments. But my attention keeps drifting. Not to the conversation. To the room. To the wa

She needs a tracking device on her. Could be put in her jewelry that she wears. Surprised that Cillian hasn't done something like this yet.

Hmm, is it the Italians, her ex the Russian or someone new to the picture.

  • Bought By The Irish Mafia Boss   Chapter 13 - Maya

    MayaThe second we step outside the restaurant, I know dinner is over. Not because of Viktor. Because of me. I've spent the entire evening pretending to listen while thinking about an Irish idiot in a hospital bed. An Irish idiot who nearly died. An Irish idiot who sent Ronan to spy on my date. An Irish idiot who answered my phone call after a single ring.The realization alone is enough to make me angry all over again. The cool night air hits my face as we stop beside Viktor's car. For a few seconds, neither of us speaks. Traffic moves around us. People walk past. The city continues, as if my life isn't currently falling apart.Then Viktor breaks the silence. "I'll take you home.""No."His eyes narrow slightly. "Maya.""No."The smile disappears from his face. Not completely, just enough. The change is subtle. But it's there. And suddenly I'm tired. So tired. Tired of the explosion. Tired of secrets. Tired of fear. Tired of men deci

  • Bought By The Irish Mafia Boss   Chapter 12 - Declan

    DeclanThe second Maya hangs up, I know I'm in trouble. Not because of Viktor. Not because of Cillian. Not because Liam is currently glaring at me like he wants to handcuff me to the hospital bed. Because of one sentence. ‘Come see me.’I shouldn't have said it. I know that. The problem is, I meant it. Every word. Every syllable. The silence that follows the call feels heavier than the conversation itself. I stare at my phone. At the dark screen. At my own reflection staring back. Christ. I've completely lost my mind.Liam is sitting in the chair across from me. Watching. The bastard has been watching me for the entire call. Not listening. Just watching. Which somehow feels worse. "How bad is it?"I look up. "What?"He points toward me."Whatever's happening in your head."I snort. Pain immediately shoots through my ribs. Fantastic. "Mind your business."“Aye." He nods. "That's usually how I know it's serious.

  • Bought By The Irish Mafia Boss   Chapter 11 - Maya

    MayaI spend forty-five minutes staring at my closet. Not because I don't have clothes. Because apparently I'm losing my mind. I pull out a black dress. Put it back. Try a green one. Hate it. Try jeans. Put those back too. By the time I've changed outfits for the fifth time, I'm ready to throw myself out the window.The problem isn't the dinner. The problem is everything else. The explosion. The kiss. The hospital. The texts. Declan. Especially Declan.My phone sits on the edge of my bed. Silent. For now. I glance at it. Then immediately look away. Pathetic. Completely pathetic. Sophia would never let me live this down. The thought alone almost makes me call her. Almost. Then she'd start asking questions. Questions I don't want to answer.Questions like: Why are you smiling at your phone? Why do you look nervous? Why did you spend twenty minutes staring at a text that says "Don't tempt me sweetheart”?

  • Bought By The Irish Mafia Boss   Chapter 10 - Declan

    DeclanI hate hospitals. I hate the smell. I hate the machines. I hate the nurses. And I especially hate the fact that everyone seems to think nearly dying means I should sit still and behave myself. It's insulting. The television drones quietly in the corner of the room, some daytime talk show nobody actually watches. My attention isn't on it.It hasn't been on it all morning. My attention is currently on my phone. More specifically, on Maya. The woman has occupied every bloody thought in my head since she walked into this hospital. The kiss didn't help. If anything, it made everything ten times worse. Now I know she still feels it. The pull. The attraction. The thing we've spent years pretending wasn't there.And now she's going out with a Russian. A Russian. Christ. The door opens. Liam walks inside carrying a folder. One look at his face tells me this isn't a social visit. Good. I don't want company. I want information. "What?"He tosses the folder on

  • Bought By The Irish Mafia Boss   Chapter 9 - Maya

    MayaI don't sleep. Not really. I close my eyes. I lie in bed. I stare at the ceiling. But sleep never comes. Every time I start drifting off, I see fire. The explosion. The flames. The twisted remains of Declan's Aston Martin.Then my brain immediately replaces the image with something worse. Declan in that hospital bed. Bandages. Bruises. Burns. The sight of him keeps replaying over and over. So does the kiss. Especially the kiss.God. What the hell was I thinking? I wasn't thinking. That's the problem. For one stupid moment, I forgot about reality. Forgot about consequences. Forgot about Elena. Forgot about everything except the fact that I thought he'd died. And then he was alive. And suddenly, years of pretending disappeared. The memory makes my stomach twist.I roll over. Then back again. Then grab my phone. 4:17 AM. Wonderful. I hate everything. My phone lights up. A text message. Unknown number. My

  • Bought By The Irish Mafia Boss   Chapter 8 - Declan

    DeclanThe second Maya walks out of the room, I know I'm fucked. Not because of the bomb. Not because of the Russians. Not because my entire left side feels like someone used it for target practice. Because Cillian saw. Maybe not everything. But enough.The silence that settles over the room after Maya leaves feels different. Sharper. More dangerous. Elena is still talking. Sophia is still standing near the door. But I can feel it. Cillian is thinking. And that is never a good sign. Especially for me.I keep my eyes on the television mounted in the corner of the room. The television isn't even on. That's not the point. The point is not looking at Cillian. Because if I look at him, he'll know. The bastard always knows. Eventually, Sophia leaves. Then Elena gets dragged away by a nurse who wants to check on the baby.Cillian immediately follows her. Good. Excellent. Perfect. The problem is that Liam stays. Of course he does. The room falls silent. Liam sits

    ElenaThe necklace is worth more than my entire life. I can feel it. Cold diamonds wrapped tight around my throat like a warning I don’t understand.“Don’t touch it too much,” the event manager snaps as she adjusts it for the third time. “You’re modelling it, not fidgeting with it.”“I’m not…” I st

    ElenaMy arms are shaking. Not visibly. Not enough for Liam to call it out. But I feel it. Every muscle tight, every movement just slightly slower than it should be as I raise my hands again, trying to keep my stance steady.“Again,” Liam says.Of course. I exhale

  • Bought By The Irish Mafia Boss   Chapter 5 - Elena

    ElenaI don’t realize how tense my body is until he tells me to walk again.“Come,” Cillian says, his voice calm, controlled, like everything in his world already bends to him, and I hate how my body reacts to it before my brain does. I hesitate for half a second, just enough to remind myself I don
