PLorenzo's POV

I'd been sitting on the couch for three hours, staring at my phone, willing it to ring or Jovan to text back.

But nothing.

The silence was suffocating. Everywhere I looked, there was evidence of him. His jacket on the chair. His coffee mug in the sink. His book on the nightstand, a bookmark still holding his place.

He lived here. This was his home, our home and I'd made him feel like he couldn't come back.

I picked up my phone again, scrolling through the messages I'd sent.

  • Captive To The Mafia Lord   Chapter 156

    Lena's POVThe morgue smelled like cold and disinfectant and something underneath both that you didn't name because naming it made it too real.I'd been in worse places where I had to watch people bleed out without any sign of remorse.I'd watch people cry over their loved ones without a tear drop in my eyes because I had no idea what it felt like to lose a loved one.My mum and dad died when we were little so Maria and I grew up in many group homes until she decided that she couldn't let me suffer and she worked her ass out to put a roof over my head.And now she was dead. Dead. I said to myself, a blank smile on my face as I dragged myself behind the mortuary attendant.He walked me through the corridor without rushing, explained the process in a quiet voice, and asked twice if I needed a moment.I didn't need a moment. I needed my sister to not be dead. I need Maria to call me and tell me that she was alive and this was one of those expensive jokes of hers.Those were two very diff

    Sergei's POVThe first call came while I was dealing with a shipment problem. Three containers had arrived at the docks with the wrong paperwork attached, which meant customs had decided to become interested in my business.I was already irritated then my phone started vibrating, adding to my annoyance. I looked at the screen. It was Pavel.I ignored it and continued skimming through the documents but it rang again and again.Jesus Christ!I answered on the fourth attempt. "What?""She's not listening."I closed my eyes, pinching the space in-between my eyes. For the last two days, Maria had somehow become the center of my problems, and I was getting tired of hearing her name."What happened now?""She heard us." He answered."Yes, Pavel.” I rolled my eyes. “You mentioned that yesterday.""No, you don't understand." He replied. “Maria everything we said over the phone and that's a problem.” His voice sounded strained.I hated that tone."What exactly did she hear?""I don't know."I r

    Jovan's POVWe drove home in silence.Lorenzo parked and we went inside and I sat on the couch and he sat beside me and neither of us said anything for a while."It's Sergei," I said out loud with certainty. “Why else would Camille who cursed me out when I reached out to her just appear out of the blues?!”"Yes." Lorenzo nodded, slipping out of his shoes into the comfy slippers we wore indoors. “"He found all three of them. Same day. Same energy." I looked at my hands. "That's not a coincidence.""No." Lorenzo leaned forward. "Dante is pulling everything tonight so that we can find out if she's acting on her own or is being used by Sergei.""And until then?""Until then,” he cupped my face, gently caressing my cheek with his thumb affectionately. “We go to bed and rest easy for the night.”"I'm not going to sleep.""I know." He pulled me into him. "We try anyway."He led me to the room and up until we got into the bedroom, all I could think about was Camille standing right there on t

    Camille's POVAs soon the car drove off, I exhaled deeply, relieving myself of the tension. I'd heard of Jovan's boyfriend but seeing him upfront with that death glare of his made me scared but I'd held it down.My phone rang. I pulled it out of my purse. It was Sergei.“How did it go?” He asked as soon as I answered.“A little bit scary. For a second there, I thought he was going to kill me.”Sergei laughed. “You're one lucky girl, I must say. Lorenzo doesn't take threats to his boyfriend lightly so I'd advise you tread cautiously.”“Come over, I had something for you.”An hour later, the Uber driver dropped me off at his house. Wow….. his house was beautiful. Exactly like I expected.He opened the door himself. No staff visible, which told me something about how he wanted this conversation to go."How did you find them?" He stepped aside for me to enter."I found both of them." I walked past him into the apartment and didn't wait to be invited further in. "Sitting in a car eating pi

    Lorenzo's POVThe past few hours in the office had been a very tedious one. We had no clue where Elena was but our very good sources had indeed confirmed that she was alive and in the city of New York.The moment I walked in and saw him biting his finger while scrolling through his phone, I could tell something was wrong.He hadn't even heard me come in until I wrapped my arm around him from behind which made him jump up in fear."It's me,""Lorenzo." He pressed his hand to his chest. "Don't do that.""You didn't hear the door." I looked at his face. "What's wrong?""Nothing." He turned his attention back to his phone."Jovan.""I said nothing." He put the phone down and turned his attention back to me. As much as he tried to hide the fear behind his fake smile, I could still see it. "How was the office?""Fine." I sat beside him. "What's on your phone?""Nothing.""You were biting your finger." I pointed out. “And you looked very scared when I touched you so don't sit there and tell

    Jovani's POVThe doctor said the time of death was 6:47 PM.I know this because Donatella told me later, after she came back into the ward through the back after the whole scene she'd created at the waiting room.I never died, I survived the gunshot wounds and chose anonymity.I always had my suspicions about Elena from the day she'd become rude and wouldn't do my bidding. The money that moved from my account, the account officer being dodgy, Elena having meetings behind my back.Everything pointed at one thing; she was trying to double cross me.“You're not as big as you think and I can easily replace you.” That was what Elena had told me that night.And the fact that Sergei, a man whom I found out was somehow linked to Elena just showed up out of the blue, I knew it could only mean one thing so I made moves, placing one step ahead.The drug was in the lining of my jacket. A contact agent, absorbed through the skin over the course of the evening, slowing everything down to a rate ind

    Marcus's POVI heard the window slam shut, followed by the glass shattering then something clattering to the floor downstairs.That kind of noise wasn't something you'd ignore at 2 AM on a Tuesday. I woke up.The first thing I did was check on Nia, heaving a sigh of relief when I found her next to

    Jovan's POV“I need to dress up,” I tried to wriggle free from his grip. He was hugging me from behind and wouldn't let me go.“No,” he kissed my neck. I tilted my head to the side to give him better access. Welp, you couldn't blame me for reacting that way to him.“We're supposed to be on our way

    Lorenzo's POVHow do you expect me to react when I see a man I know damn well has his eyes on my man with his hands near his face?I clamped my hand on Jovan's wrist, pulled him inside and pressed him against the wall before the door had even closed behind us."What were you two doing out there?"H
