Zara's POV

Pain...

That was what I started feeling the moment my back hit the first step, a jolt of pain ripping through my spine. Then another—sharp, biting, merciless. I clenched my teeth to keep from screaming as the chair bounced and crashed down the staircase, dragging me with it like a ragdoll in a death spiral.

The last impact knocked the air clean out of my lungs as i heard the chair break into pieces. I lay there, gasping like a fish out of water. Every nerve in my body screamed.

  • Deadly Game; Seducing the Ruthless Mafia Lord    Chap 68

    Cassius's POV"Bring him." I said, and two of my men moved forward immediately, seizing Tyler by both arms before he could think to resist."Cassius, wait—" Tyler started, his voice cracking as he was dragged forward, his feet stumbling slightly against the uneven pavement, his eyes darting frantically between me and the bodies scattered across the street behind him, as though some part of him still hadn't fully processed how thoroughly this night had gone wrong for him."Sit him down." I said, ignoring him entirely, and my men forced him down onto an overturned crate near the wrecked cars, his hands pulled behind his back and bound tightly with a length of cord one of them produced from somewhere. Tyler winced as the cord bit into his wrists, but he didn't fight it, some part of him clearly recognizing that fighting would accomplish nothing except making this worse.I lowered my gun, though I didn't holster it, letting it hang loosely at my side as I walked toward him slowly. "You h

  • Deadly Game; Seducing the Ruthless Mafia Lord    Chap 67

    Cassius's POVThe street fell into a heavy, electric silence for one brief second, both sides frozen in place, guns raised, fingers hovering over triggers, waiting for whoever would be foolish enough to fire first."Last chance to walk away, Tyler." I said, my voice low and even, though every part of me was already bracing for what I knew was coming. "Call them off.""You know I can't do that." Tyler said, taking a slow step backward toward his own men, putting distance between us like a coward looking for cover. "Mom would never forgive me if I backed down now. Not after everything.""Then I guess we do this the hard way." I said, and before he could respond, one of his men broke formation, raising his weapon a fraction too fast, and Raven didn't hesitate.The first shot cracked through the night, and everything after that dissolved into chaos.I dropped low immediately, using the wrecked frame of my car as cover as gunfire erupted from every direction, the deafening rattle of it bou

  • Deadly Game; Seducing the Ruthless Mafia Lord    Chap 66

    Cassius's POVI wrenched the wheel hard to the right, every muscle in my body screaming with the force of it, and the truck roared past us close enough that I felt the gust of displaced air slam against the side of the car, close enough that for one suspended, breathless second, I genuinely believed we hadn't made it.The car spun, tires shrieking against the asphalt, and we skidded sideways before finally jolting to a stop against a wall, the impact throwing both of us hard against our seatbelts, the crunch of metal folding in on itself echoing through the sudden, ringing silence that followed."Zylara!" I said, my voice sharp with panic as I turned to her, my hands already reaching to check she was still breathing, still whole, still there beside me."I'm okay." She said, her voice shaking violently, her hands trembling as she pressed them against her chest like she was trying to hold her own heart in place. "I'm okay, I'm okay." She repeated it like a chant, like saying it enough t

    Tyler's POV**************"What the hell did you mean you lost him?!" I yelled into the phone, springing up from my seat so fast the chair toppled backward and clattered against the marble floor, my chest heaving with a fury I could barely contain as the lead gang member I'd sent out relayed, in that maddeningly calm voice, that they had lost Cassius. Lost him? As if he were a set of car keys and not a man they'd been ordered to hunt down. My jaw clenched so hard I thought my teeth might crack. Why were they so incompetent? How does an entire team of armed men lose one unarmed target? Cassius wasn't even carrying a weapon and they still let him slip through their fingers like sand. Useless. All of them, absolutely useless."Sorry, boss." The lead gang member's voice came through small and shaky, like he already knew an apology wouldn't be enough to save him from my wrath."Make it fucking right and stop fucking apologizing." I snapped, the words tearing out of me before I could soft

    Cassius's POV "Where do you plan on going first when you get to the city? Home, or how do you plan on finding your sister?" I asked, as we drove away from Leonardo's house, the headlights of the city slowly beginning to swallow the darkness of the coastal road behind us. I had failed in convincing him to come along, as he had insisted that he'd prefer staying there, where he'd be easily located by his children whenever they returned from abroad. "I don't know yet, but I think I'll go home first to see if my sister would be there. If I don't find her there, I'll probably look for another way out." She said, her fingers twisting nervously in her lap, and I simply nodded, unsure of what comfort I could offer her when I wasn't even certain of the answers myself. I really can't say much. I don't even want to ask her about Crystal, or mention that she might be related to her, because I don't want to get her hopes high over something that could still, despite everything, turn out to b

    Tyler's POVAll my entire life of living, it felt like I had been born to compete with Cassius. I never asked for that. I never wanted any of it. I just wanted to live my own life, quietly, without constantly being measured against someone else's shadow. Is that too hard to ask?It seemed like it was too hard for my mom to accept. Growing up, I had learned that I shouldn't see Cassius as my brother, but as my competitor, someone I had to outdo, outshine, and eventually outlast. But why did it have to be that way? Why couldn't we just be brothers like every other normal family?Well… I can't really blame her. I'm her son, and Cassius isn't, so it's understandable that she wants what's best for me, that she'd fight tooth and nail to secure my future over his. But at this point, we wanted to get rid of Cassius completely, so that I could be the next Mafia lord. A burden I wasn't even sure I was ready to carry, no matter how much I pretended otherwise in front of her."Mom, I heard everyt

    Zara's POV Running. I just felt myself running. No, I was running. But to where? I don't know! The sight I had just seen made me lose my senses. I had seen Cassius write a bold 'M' on an innocent man's head. The bastard had done it without a hint of remorse, then he had shot him right in the fore

    Cassius's POV ********************************** "Get everyone on the lookout, I would be there in ten minutes." I said into the phone, locking my apartment door behind me. My gaze drifted to Zara’s door across the hallway. Annoying bitch. Her audacity grated on my nerves, but I couldn’t deny th

    Zara's POV "What?" I gasped. "I really didn't do anything." "We shall see about that." he said, stood up, hissed, and left for the dining room. Fuck. My body still tingles from his hand on my nipple. Is that how he played with everybody's feelings? Zara, I think you are really the person here pla

    Zara's POV I looked at myself in the mirror one last time. Perfect. Handsome bastard, here I come. I packed my luggage, and damn it, they were too heavy. I had crammed in everything I could think of: outfits for every occasion, a few weapons for protection, lingeries. I needed to be prepared. A k
