Ava’s POV

Vindell’s eyes met mine, and I subtly gestured for him to pause the call. “Give me a moment,” he said.

“Sure, baby! But I hope you know you have just ten minutes,” Kate reminded him.

Vindell quickly muted the call before dragging a frustrated hand through his hair. His jaw tightened, and he let out a deep breath as he stared at me.

“What are you waiting for?” I asked.

His eyebrows drew together. “What?”

“Shoot me!”

“What?!” His eyes widened, and he stared at me as though I’d suddenly

  • Bound to the mafia    Chapter 124: A Mother’s Desperate Gamble

    Mrs. Ashford’s POVThe first slap sent my head snapping to the side. Before I could recover, Kate grabbed my face and struck me again. And again. My cheek burned, my ears rang, and the metallic taste of blood spread across my tongue. By the time she delivered the last slap, I could barely keep my head straight. I spat out the blood that had gathered in my mouth and slowly turned back to face her.A grin tugged at my lips. “What? You can’t do it?” I taunted, wiping the corner of my mouth with my tongue. “Get a knife or a gun. Not your weak-ass hands.”Her nostrils flared. Her fingers curled into tight fists as she glared down at me. “You think I can’t kill you and pretend you’re still alive?” she snapped.“Then do it, loser! What are you waiting for?” I leaned forward as much as my restraints allowed. “Are you waiting for orders from your fellow loser? At least accomplish something meaningful with your miserable life.”“Mrs. Ashford…” She pointed a trembling finger at me. “My patience

    Kate’s POVI stepped into the room, balancing a steaming burger and a packet of fries in my hands. “Here’s your food!” I announced, dropping the meal onto the bed in front of Mrs. Ashford.She didn’t waste a second. Her fingers immediately reached for the burger, and she began eating as though she hadn’t seen food in days.I watched her for a moment before a mocking chuckle escaped my lips. “Lucky you! I don’t hate you as much as I hate Ava.”I turned away, pacing back and forth across the room. Just thinking about that woman was enough to ruin my mood.“I wonder what choice Vindell is going to make.” I stopped, folding my arms across my chest. “Part of me already knows the answer, while the other part is afraid he’ll find some loophole and outsmart me.”A chuckle slipped out. “But what could he possibly do this time? He’s in a tight corner. There’s absolutely no way out for him.”The door opened, and Mr. Blackwood walked in. His expression was anything but relaxed. “What’s the report

You don’t seriously think she’s going to believe you?” I leaned closer. “Do you think Kate escaped prison just to play some sick games with you? Or do you honestly believe she managed to get out all by herself?”His expression hardened. “What exactly are you getting at?”“There’s a grand scheme here, Vindell, and your mother is nothing more than a means to an end.” I glanced at his phone before looking back at him. “Think about it. She’s definitely not going to k

  • Bound to the mafia    Chapter 121: His Mother or His Wife?

    Ava’s POVVindell had been pacing back and forth in the living room for what felt like forever. His hands repeatedly ran through his hair, and every few seconds, he glanced at his phone as though another call might magically bring good news.I’d never seen him this disoriented and looking so helpless. I sat on the edge of the couch, nervously twisting my fingers together. Earlier, we’d received a terrifying call from the hospital. Mrs. Ashford had been kidnapped, and Dr. Rufus had been found unconscious in his office. He’d been rushed to the ICU, and the doctors were still trying to stabilize him.Everything had happened so quickly. One moment, we were going about our day, and the next, Vindell’s mother had disappeared under circumstances nobody could explain.“Vindell,” I called softly.He stopped pacing and turned toward me. “Have you heard anything?”He shook his head, his jaw tightening. “Nothing.” He dragged a hand down his face. “I don’t understand how this happened, Ava. How co

  • Bound to the mafia    Chapter 120: The Woman Who Started It All

    Mrs. Ashford’s POVThe next time I opened my eyes, a strange ceiling greeted me. For a few seconds, I lay still, struggling to understand where I was. My head throbbed, and my vision was slightly blurred. I tried to move, only to feel something digging painfully into my wrists, handcuffs!My eyes widened as I lifted my hands. They were cuffed together in front of me. Panic immediately seized my chest.“Help! Somebody help me!” I screamed, struggling against the restraints. “Is anybody there? Let me out!”I kicked my legs against the floor, desperately trying to get someone’s attention. The more I struggled, the tighter the metal cuffs seemed against my skin.Suddenly, the door swung open. I barely had time to look up before a thunderous slap landed across my face. My head jerked to the side, and I froze, my cheek burning from the impact. Slowly, I raised my eyes, only for my breath to catch when a familiar face came into view.“Kate?!”She stood in front of me, wearing a sinister smil

    Ava’s POVVindell pinched the bridge of his nose, his eyes squeezed shut as he released a slow, frustrated breath. The way his shoulders stiffened told me whatever news he had received wasn’t good.I shifted slightly on the sofa, my gaze fixed on him. “What is it?” I asked.He lowered his hand and turned towards us, disbelief written all over his face.“Kate has escaped from prison.”For a moment, nobody moved.I blinked, wondering if I’d heard him correctly. “What? How? Isn’t she supposed to be under strict supervision?”“That’s what I want to know.” He shook his head. “I just received the news. Apparently, she managed to get out before anyone could stop her.”Peter scoffed, running a hand over his face. “Don’t tell me Mr. Blackwood is still helping her when he hasn’t even cleared his own name. That man should be more concerned about his own problems.”“That’s exactly what worries me,” Vindell replied.Peter leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. “I wouldn’t be surprised if
