Captive To The Mafia Lord Chapter 203
I didn't realize I'd stopped breathing until Zed's hand tightened on my arm."Stay behind me," he said."Zed, wait. Don't..."He was already moving toward the dorm, and I caught a glimpse of his face in the lamplight. The cool, bored mask he'd worn all night was completely gone. This was something else, something that made the back of my neck prickle.I lunged and grabbed his sleeve. "Jamie's in there!"That stopped him."Who?""My friend. She was asleep in my bed when I left. If you storm in there, she'll..." I shook my head. "She doesn't know any of this. She doesn't know what's real."Zed stared up at the dark window for a long, tense second. Then he closed his eyes.I watched, confused, as his head tilted just slightly, the way you'd listen for a sound in another room. The cold wind stirred his hair. Nothing else moved."One heartbeat," he said at last.My stomach dropped. "What?""In your room. Just one." His eyes opened, dark and steady. "Fast. Awake. Whoever's in there is afrai

The words were still echoing in my head, and my wrist throbbed like a second heartbeat. I looked up into Zed's face, at the dark eyes and the clenched jaw, and I knew with total certainty that whatever I said next would change everything. Lie, and I'd have six hours of fear and a blackmailer's leash around my neck. Tell the truth, and I might lose the only person in this entire school who'd just stood in front of the Dean and put his name beside mine. "Rayna." His voice was quieter now. That was worse than the anger. "I heard the name. I heard the part about seven o'clock. Don't make me guess." My throat closed. I forced the words out one at a time, like pulling glass. "Michelle was supposed to be here." He didn't move. "The letter," I whispered. "The Elmor admission letter. It was hers. It came for her, and I..." My voice broke, and I pressed my fist against my mouth until I could go on. "I took it. I had the chance, and I took it. And I never gave it back." Silence

Don't tell Zed about our little chat.The words were still echoing in my head, and my wrist throbbed like a second heartbeat.

Lorenzo's POVWe didn't finish painting that day.Jovan sat across from me at a table still wearing a drop cloth, both of us too rattled to pretend the afternoon belonged to the restaurant anymore. I'd called Dante the second I could trust my voice not to shake, and he'd arrived within twenty minutes, Lena right behind him, the four of us clustered around that half-painted room like it was the only safe harbor left in the city."Say it again," Dante said. "Slowly. Because I need to hear it a second time before I let myself believe it.""Rourke says my father didn't die of natural causes. Says he was paid to call it a heart attack. Says he'll tell me who actually did it — if I bury the investigation into him." I rubbed both hands down my face. "Friday. That's his deadline.""That's not a confession," Lena said slowly, working it through out loud the way she always did, sharp and methodical even rattled. "That's leverage. He's trying to trade one truth for your silence on a different on

Lorenzo's POVThe words hung in the air long after he'd said them, ugly and impossible and somehow, underneath all the noise in my chest, not impossible at all."You're lying," I said, but it came out thin, unconvincing even to my own ears."Am I?" Rourke's voice stayed infuriatingly calm. "Your father had a bad heart for years, Lorenzo. Everyone knew it. Easy story to tell, easy cause of death to write down, no questions asked from a family that already had plenty of reasons not to invite a real autopsy." A pause, deliberate, cruel. "I was the one who signed off on it. I was also the one who got a very generous payment a week later from someone who wanted that story to stick."My knees went weak enough that I had to brace a hand against the half-painted wall beside me. "Who paid you.""That's the conversation I'm offering you, if you're smart about the next few days." His tone sharpened, finally, the pleasantness dropping away. "You've got a journalist sniffing around my name. You've

JOVAN'S POVFrom the grin on Lorenzo's face and the look Ethan gave me, I knew that I had made a big mistake.The door closed behind me and I heard the lock. One click and I stood in the dark and waited for my eyes to adjust and they didn't, because the dark in this room was not the kind that I adj

JOVAN'S POVThe worst pain I'd ever felt aside from taking a kick to the balls was getting my head smashed into a wall.I woke up with a banging headache and it felt as though my head was a bit swollen at the side as I struggled to get off the bed.A….bed? Since when did hotel lobbied have…..? Wai
