Lorenzo's pov

When I was in the car, I had had seven hours to think about Jovan Rosfrith and what I was going to do about him.

Seven hours is a long time to think about something.

Ethan was at the door when I came in. He took one look at my face and stepped back and said nothing, which was the correct response. I handed him my jacket without slowing down and walked to the east wing and opened Jovan's door without knocking.

He was on the bed reading a book and he looked up when I came in with th

  • Captive To The Mafia Lord   Chapter 45

    JOVAN'S POVAt 3:47 AM according to my phone, I woke up needing to piss and the blue light harsh against my eyes in the darkness.I lay there for a minute, trying to ignore the pressure in my bladder, trying to fall back asleep but it didn't work.I got up and I stumbled toward the bathroom, half-asleep, eyes barely open, then I stopped.There was someone in my room and I could see the silhouette dark against the silver-blue wash of light from the buildings outside.My heart kicked hard against my ribs. I blinked twice, then I focused and there but it was just the curtains hanging motionless."Fuck," I whispered, the word barely a breath. I turned on every light and made sure to check the closet—hangers clinking softly as I pushed clothes aside. Under the bed—nothing but shadows and dust.I checked behind the door and there was no one there.“What the fuck is happening to me?” I ran a hand through my hair, tousling it. I was seeing things. Maybe it was lack of proper sleep or Lorenzo'

    LORENZO'S POVLater in the day, I returned to the office after changing into neat clothes and taking a much needed bath.The meeting room at Castillo Security smelled like coffee and stress. I sat at the head of the table while I pretended to listen to my operations manager give updates on active contracts.But I was thinking about Jovan and the way he had looked at me when I came in. He was getting suspicious and that was not good.The question he'd asked: "I don't even know your last name." I'd never told him because I never wanted him to look me up."Boss?" Marcus—my security chief, not my informant—was looking at me. "Did you hear the question?""No.""The Mendez contract. They're asking for extended protection. Three more months.""Fine. Whatever they're paying, add twenty percent.""They won't agree to—""Then they don't get extended protection."Silence around the table. Everyone knew not to push when I was in this mood.My phone buzzed. It was a text from the hospital.“Ethan

    JOVAN'S POVThe next morning, I found the house unusually quiet. I went to Lorenzo's room because I had questions regarding Leilani but he wasn't there.The bed was neat which meant nobody had slept in it. Lorenzo never came home last night.I grabbed my phone. It was 6 AM, no missed calls or texts. I scrolled through my contacts looking for his number only for me to realize I didn't have it.Eighteen weeks of living with Lorenzo and I didn't have his fucking phone number because he'd never given it to me. Because every conversation happened face to face. Because he controlled when and how we communicated."Fuck," I said to the empty room.I asked around and no one seemed to know where he was and Ethan was nowhere to be found so I took a bath, ate breakfast and headed to work.Maria was at her desk when I arrived. She looked up, smiled, then did something with her face that looked like guilt."Morning, Mr. Rosfrith.""Morning." I headed toward my office."Um—Mr. Rosfrith?"I stopped a

    LORENZO'S POVKozlov was already inside when we arrived. He was standing near the back with two of his men, arms folded and face neutral.I had been doing this for twelve years; collecting debts and settling accounts.This should have been routine.But something felt wrong and as much as I tried to shake it off, it became worse."Stay close," I whispered to Ethan."Always do," he said.Kozlov nodded when he saw me. "Lorenzo. On time as always.""Punctuality is respect," I said. "You have what we discussed?""Most of it."I stopped walking. "Most is not all.""I'm aware. The remaining balance will be delivered by the end of the week.""That was not our agreement." I frowned. “ I did not put aside important stuff just for you to tell me this bullshit.”"Agreements change," Kozlov said. His voice was too casual and way too comfortable for my liking. "Circumstances change. Surely you understand that."I looked at him, then at his men and the way they stood like they were waiting for an or

    ETHAN'S POVThe security monitors showed them returning at 12:47 AM.Lorenzo's car pulled into the driveway. Jovan got out first, stumbled slightly. Lorenzo followed, reached out to steady him, and Jovan pulled away.Good. He was starting to see it.I rewound the footage from the party, Lorenzo grabbing Jovan's arm and the way his grip had tightened while Jovan's face changed from being drunk and happy to uncomfortable.I took a screenshot which I added to the folder labeled EVIDENCE.Forty-three photos now. Forty-three moments of Lorenzo being exactly what he was; Possessive, controlling and dangerous.Just like he had been with Natalia.My sister had trusted him too. She had thought he was protecting her when he was actually destroying her and by the time she realized what he was, it was too late.I was not going to let that happen to Jovan.I closed the security program and looked at the time; 6:15 AM.Jovan would be waking up soon and I'm sure he'd be hungover, disoriented and vul

    Lorenzo's POV"Lorenzo," Jovan said. "What are you doing?""Taking you home.""I don't want to go home." He snatched his hand away from my grip. “I don't want to go anywhere.”"You're drunk.""I'm happy," Jovan said, holding onto Delilah again for support. "There's a difference.""You're drunk," I repeated. "And we're leaving."I took his arm, and Delilah looked at me for a couple of seconds before she let him go but he pulled away. "Don't.""Jovan—""Don't touch me. Don't—" He looked at me and something in his face changed. He went from drunk and happy to drunk and angry. "You can't just drag me out of here like I'm—like I'm yours.""You are mine." The words came out before I could stop them.The room went quiet or maybe it did not go quiet and I just could not hear anything except my own heartbeat and Jovan staring at me."What?" he moved closer. “What did you say?”"I mean—" I stopped. "I mean you're my responsibility and my job to protect.""That's not what you said.""That's what
