Chapter fifteen

The bar was almost empty when Steve arrived. He looked around as he walked in. The bartender was cleaning up, clearly about to close for the night. A shiver ran through Steve’s body as his eyes landed on the spot where Mia had been sitting in the video. His Mia had been here.

    Eilleen grabbed her secret phone immediately after stepping out of José's office.She quickly walked toward the kitchen, making sure no one was around before she checked the phone.Then she saw it.The last message Detective Alvarez had sent her days ago.I just figured out that José blackmailed the mayor, and that's how he got released. I need to know what kind of debt José has on him. If you can find out, it could be useful evidence.Eilleen stared at the message for a few seconds.That was another problem.But right now, she had something much more important to deal with.José was investigating Alvarez.And from what she had just seen in his office, he wasn't taking it lightly.She quickly transferred all the pictures she had taken from her personal phone to the secret phone. Her hands were shaking as she selected the photos one after another.She sent them to Alvarez.Then she typed:They are onto you. You really need to be careful.She stared at the message for a moment before se

  • Bound to be with the ruthless mafia    Chapter 49

    José and Josh sat in the living room, playing games on the PS5.It had almost become a ritual for them. Most nights, they would sit together for a while and play games, laughing and arguing over who was winning.Eilleen sat at the dining table, eating her dinner while occasionally looking over at them.She couldn't help but notice how close they had become lately.Josh seemed happier whenever he was around his father.Eilleen was happy for him, even though a small part of her still wondered why José had suddenly started spending so much time with him.She didn't have the energy to question it anymore.She simply watched.The front door opened.Mike walked into the living room carrying several files and a large brown envelope.“Mr. Ray sent this,” he said, walking toward José.José quickly paused the game and took the files from him.José opened the first file and began going through the pages.His expression changed almost immediately.Eilleen noticed it.Whatever was inside those fil

  • Bound to be with the ruthless mafia    Chapter 48

    Eilleen had been bothered for days.Mike was becoming a nightmare.At first, she had tried to ignore him. She told herself that if she didn't react to his behavior, maybe he would eventually get tired and stop.But he wasn't stopping.He was becoming bolder.Whenever no one was watching, Mike would touch her in ways that made her uncomfortable. Sometimes he would slap her buttocks as he walked past her, acting as if it was some kind of joke. Other times, when they were alone, he would grab her waist and pull her closer.Eilleen hated it.She hated the way he looked at her.She hated the way he acted as though she belonged to him.And most of all, she hated that she had to pretend everything was fine.What if Josh walked in on them and see Mike spanking her in the bum?What if José caught them one day?What would happen?The thought alone made her stomach twist.She couldn't imagine José seeing Mike touching her and believing that nothing had happened between them. José was already sus

    Mrs. Maya came back during the weekend. The two women sat across from each other at the kitchen table, each with a cup of coffee in front of them. The mansion was unusually quiet, and for a few minutes, neither of them said anything. “What are your plans now?” Mrs. Maya asked, scooping a spoonful of sugar into her coffee. “I don't have any plans, Mrs. Maya,” Eilleen said without even looking at her. “I'm so tired. All I need right now is to learn how to survive.” There was silence for almost a minute. “Do you think you can survive living in this mansion?” Mrs. Maya asked, looking directly at her. “I will learn how to survive,” Eilleen replied. “What about Henry and Steve?” Eilleen went quiet. She took a few seconds before answering. “I think it's better this way. If I really want to keep them safe, then I think the best thing I can do is stay away from their lives.” Mrs. Maya took a sip of her coffee before placing the cup back on the table. “So you're ready to

  • Bound to be with the ruthless mafia    Chapter 46

    Three weeks had passed, and Eilleen still felt completely drained.She was slowly learning how to live like a Santiago, but honestly, she was tired of it. Tired of the fighting. Tired of the lies. Tired of always having to think three steps ahead just to stay alive.For the first few days after José was released, she had been waiting for Alvarez to contact her. She kept checking her secret phone, hoping to see a message that would tell her there was still a way out.Five days after José walked free, the message finally came.It was from Alvarez.I know how you must be feeling right now, but I did everything in my power. José has influential people wrapped around his finger. You can't imagine how badly I want José on his knees.Eilleen stared at the message for a long time.She knew Alvarez had tried. She knew he had put in so much effort trying to bring José down. But knowing that didn't make her feel any better.She didn't reply.She simply locked the phone and put it away.What was

    It had been more than thirty minutes since Eilleen watched the news about José being arrested.With every minute that passed, her dread kept growing bigger and bigger.She was yet to receive any text from Detective Alvarez.She wanted to know what was happening at the station. Had José been questioned? Had they found enough evidence to keep him there? Was he finally going to pay for everything he had done?Eilleen picked up the secret phone again and checked the screen.Nothing.She sighed and dropped it on the bed.She was also beginning to wonder if this was the right time to reach out to Kate and Steve.She really missed them.She missed the life she had before José.She picked up her laptop and was about to search for Kate's name on Instagram when she suddenly heard the sound of a car driving into the mansion.Eilleen froze.She quickly stood up and walked toward the window.A black jeep drove into the mansion.She watched it carefully.For almost three minutes, no one came out.T

    The drive was a little more than thirty minutes, yet to Eilleen, it felt like an entire hour of suffocating silence. Her fingers tightened around the steering wheel each time she imagined what she was about to do. Every lie she rehearsed sounded worse than the last, but she had no choice—not if she

    The next morning, the air in the Santiago mansion was heavier than usual — thick with silence that made every sound echo. Even the birds outside seemed too afraid to sing.
