Winston glanced at the screen before a mocking smirk curved across his lips.

“Well, well…” he murmured before answering the call. “Hello, Peter.” His tone dripped with sarcasm. “Why are you disturbing my girlfriend in the middle of the night?”

A tense silence followed before Peter’s furious voice burst through the speaker.

“Winston?!” he barked. “What the hell are you doing with Ava’s phone?”

Winston leaned casually against the table.

“That’s funny,” he replied smoothly. “Because

  • Bound to the mafia    Chapter 51: Another Vanessa

    Ava’s POVYesterday, Mum went into surgery. I’d spent the entire day with my nerves stretched so thin that every ring of my phone had made my heart jump into my throat. When Doctor Ray finally stepped out and told me the surgery had been successful, my knees had nearly given out beneath me. Relief had crashed through me so hard that I’d cried right there in the hospital corridor.Now it was time for me to pay by due diligence. Early this morning, Mr Michael arrived at my house and drove me straight to the penthouse.The moment I stepped inside, I froze. Stylists swarmed around the room, Makeup palettes were spread across marble counters, curling irons and garment bags hung neatly against the walls. Everyone seemed to be waiting for me.Before I could even fully process what was happening, I was ushered into a chair. For hours, hands worked on me.Soft brushes swept across my skin. Fingers pinned and twisted sections of my hair. The makeup artist tilted my chin this way and that, study

  • Bound to the mafia    Chapter 50: The Separation

    We walked to the waiting area in silence. My chest felt tight, as i sat first. Peter lowered himself into the chair opposite me.“Well,” he said slowly, studying my face, “for a start, you don’t seem very surprised by your mom’s story.” I stared at my hands, as I released a shaky breath. “Peter… there’s something you need to know.” I forced myself to meet his eyes. “I haven’t been completely honest with you. I didn’t tell you because I thought it would never get this far.” His brows knitted together. “Ava?” “I hope you can forgive me.” He remained silent. “You remember when I said I was going to meet Mom’s helper?” He nodded. “Yeah.” I swallowed hard. “He actually wanted me to become his wife… on contract.” Peter froze, for a second, he simply stared at me. Then his eyes widened. “What?” His voice cracked with disbelief. “It was you?” I nodded. “Yes.” His mouth fell open. “You weren’t looking for someone for him?” “No.” I continued. “I rejected him immediately

  • Bound to the mafia    Chapter 49: The Reunion

    Ava’s POV I snatched the ringing phone from my bag the second I saw Peter’s name flash across the screen. “Ava! Guess what?” His voice practically burst through the speaker, bright and excited. “Is Mom back?” The excitement died so abruptly it was almost painful to hear. Silence crackled between us for a second. “Yeah…” he finally said. “How did you know that?” My fingers tightened around the phone. “I… uh… I thought as much. I’m coming right away.” Before he could ask anything else, I ended the call and turned to Michael, who was waiting behind the steering wheel. “Please take me back to the hospital.” “From now henceforth, you will be known as Mr. Vindell’s fiancée. Though it will fully be revealed at the wedding, you must act in love and stay true to the story.” “Love?” A bitter laugh escaped me. “Please, Mr. Michael, I just want to go home to my mother right now. I already signed the damn contract, and I intend to stick to it.” “Good,” he said. “Because it’s n

  • Bound to the mafia    Chapter 48: I Agree!!!

    Ava’s POV I turned in the direction the man was pointing. Across the road, a towering skyscraper pierced the sky, its dark tinted windows reflecting the afternoon sunlight like polished glass. My stomach tightened. Without a word, I followed him across the street and into the building. The moment the glass doors slid open, cool air washed over me. Marble floors gleamed beneath crystal chandeliers, and every polished surface screamed wealth. My worn flip flop suddenly felt out of place. I wrapped my fingers tighter around my bag and followed him toward the elevator. Neither of us spoke. The elevator doors slid shut, a soft hum filled the silence as we rose. The higher we climbed, the harder my heart pounded. Finally, the doors opened. The hallway beyond was quiet and elegant. He stepped out first, then i followed. At the very end stood a tall wooden door, dark and expensive-looking, the kind that probably cost more than my yearly rent. He gestured toward the door before st

  • Bound to the mafia    Chapter 47: Seven Days Later

    Ava’s POV I pulled the card from my bag and held it between trembling fingers. The glossy surface caught the light as I stared at the bold lettering, ‘Mr. Vindell’. A chill crawled up my spine. My mind drifted back to our last meeting. I could still hear his smooth voice, calm and certain. “See you next week.” The words echoed through my head. Seven days ago, my life had still made sense. Seven days ago, Vanessa had been kneeling at my feet, her pride shattered. Winston had practically folded in half begging for his restaurant. And now? Everything I had was crumbling around me. A bitter laugh lodged in my throat, the man really was powerful. Not the kind of power people boasted about. His power moved quietly, like a shadow sliding across a room. One gesture, one phone call, one decision, and lives changed, businesses rose, people fell. I remembered sitting across from him and thinking how terrifying it must be to end up on his bad side. Now, as the pieces finally clicked

  • Bound to the mafia    Chapter 46: The Kidnappers

    Ava’s POVA heavy fog pressed against my mind as I fought to open my eyes. My eyelids felt glued shut, and every attempt sent a dull ache through my head. Somewhere nearby, a voice kept calling my name.“Ava… Ava…”The sound tugged at me.I blinked slowly. The room swam in and out of focus. A blurry figure stood beside me, leaning over the bed. Familiar cream-colored curtains fluttered near the window. The scent of lavender lingered in the air. Then realization hit me like a jolt.Before I could fully sit up, warm arms wrapped tightly around me. I stiffened, my heart stumbling in my chest. Then I looked around again, forcing my blurry vision to cooperate.The old dressing table, the framed family photo, the floral wallpaper. It was Mom’s room.“Mom!” I blurted, twisting my head wildly from side to side. Panic surged through me. “Mom!”“Mom will be here soon,” the person said softly, still holding me.The voice finally registered, as I pulled back and stared. “Peter?!”His worried face
