Chapter fourteen

Eileen wore her robe as soon as she woke up. It was time to do something—no more waiting around. She was determined. If she didn’t hear from the detective today, she’d take the risk and go to the station herself. It had already been three days since José last spent the night at the house. His absence gave her room to breathe, to think clearly for the first time.

She tiptoed to Josh’s room before going downstairs, peeking through the door. A soft smile spread across her face wh

  • 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

    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

    By the end of the day, Alvarez had learned that the Santiagos were extremely powerful criminals who had many influential and powerful people on their payroll.He knew Luca was in serious danger.He needed to find Luca's friend, the man who had stolen the drugs, because that was the only way he could prove that Luca had nothing to do with the missing drugs.Days passed, and Alvarez kept searching for a way to resolve the situation, but he couldn't find Luca's friend anywhere.In the meantime, he increased the security around the house. He installed cameras and motion detectors around the property to make sure Luca and Mira were safe while he continued trying to figure out what to do.Four days had passed.Alvarez still couldn't find Luca's friend, and there was no way he could raise two hundred thousand dollars to pay back the cartel.One afternoon, Alvarez was sitting at his desk, going through information on his computer, when his phone suddenly rang.He picked it up and placed it ag

She wished she could just pick up the phone and call, but that would be a dangerous risk to take.The door creaked open—José walked into the room. It had been five days si

    Chapter Six Eileen walked in on Josh in the kitchen. He stood in front of the open fridge, looking for food.“Good morning, Josh,” she said softly.Josh didn’t respond.“I can see you’re hungry. I made some spaghetti with prawns. I wanted to bring some for you, but you were still asleep. Just give

    Chapter Five Josh slammed the door behind him, and the sound echoed through the hallway like a final verdict. Hot tears blurred his vision as he stared down at the shredded drawing on the floor. His breath hitched. His chest tightened. He knelt beside the torn pieces—trembling hands reaching ou
