It was exactly two hours later, and Lena stood before the mirror, staring at her reflection.

She wasn't dressed in some heavy party gown or a white wedding gown; that made her sigh in great relief.

Lena was dressed in an above-the-knee blue, handless gown; she also wore expensive jewellery with her hair held in a bun.

“Here, ma’am.” A maid walked in with a glass of juice, and Lena appreciated it.

“Can I know how you got the courage to apply for a job as a maid under a mafia?” Lena was so curious; weren't these ladies scared of working for a mafia?

“That’s the thing; we don’t have a choice. These men own us,” the maid explained with a painful smile, and Lena was confused.

“You are American, so how come an Italian man owns you?” asked Lena.

“It doesn’t matter what I am; this life is cruel, and there is not one bit of kindness in it. I just decided to serve the master who will at least not abuse me sexually or hit me."

Lena’s brows furrowed; she just couldn’t understand a thing.

    The Next MorningLena slowly opened her eyes, her head pounding as she grabbed it tightly. She saw Nero standing by the door, staring at her.He was dressed casually in a black shirt and jeans. "Good morning," he said, his voice calm.Lena avoided his gaze, suddenly finding herself unable to look him in the eyes."I prepared a warm bath for you," he added, and she let out a soft chuckle."I had no idea that was something a mafia boss does," she muttered under her breath, but Nero heard her perfectly well."Well… do I deserve a reward for being so thoughtful?" he asked, a smirk forming on his lips."You’re on your way out, aren’t you? Please, just leave," she said, gathering her courage and finally meeting his gaze.Nero pulled out his phone and made a quick call. "Get the car ready," he said before hanging up. He walked toward Lena, leaning in as if to kiss her, but she dodged him."Hmm… I deserve it," he said confidently, brushing his fingers against her cheek. His gaze lingered on t

  • Entrapped By The Mafia   Make A Call

    Lena couldn’t get Linda’s words out of her mind. Was Linda trying to convince herself, or Lena?She pushed open the bedroom door and found Nero standing by the window. He had watched as they discussed, and now Linda just stood there alone.“Nero,” she called, walking over to him. He assumed Linda must have convinced her to hate him and probably reprimanded her for wanting a man like him.He could only sigh.“I have work to do,” he said, turning to leave, but she blocked his path and suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck.He stood there in disbelief as she tiptoed and kissed him, her tongue searching for his, and he couldn’t hold back—he didn’t even try. He lifted her up as she wrapped her legs around his waist, deepening the kiss.Nero’s hands moved along her thighs before he paused to look at her. “Is this the end of our deal?” he asked. There were still a few days left for her to decide whether to stay with him or leave.Lena thought for a moment. Her life had no real direction

  • Entrapped By The Mafia   The Victim

    Lena crouched besides the bed and blinked back her tears; she had no idea why she was crying, but it hurt.“So stupid,” she cursed herself and cleaned her tears, but they kept rolling down her cheeks. “You are crazy, Lena,” she thought angrily. How could she be crying because he was at the club with some sluts?The door pushed open, and Nero stood there, his brows furrowed when he noticed her crying. She stood up and sniffed back her tears before turning to walk past him, but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.“Why were you at the bar?” Nero questioned, and Lena rolled her eyes.“Did I ruin your fun?” She snorted and pulled her hand away from him, about to leave, but he closed the door and turned to her.“You don’t walk out on me.” He had a threatening gaze, one that would have worked on the old Lena, but now she knew he would never hurt her, so she had no fear of him.“I am sorry, Pope,” she had a mocking tone, and Nero couldn’t understand why she was angry and giving him an a

    Linda had walked around the building with a curious look, she found the guards surrounding one of the buildings at the far end and her curiousity grew.So she approached the building and was approached by a guard “Do you need something?” he asked and Linda shook her head.“The pope said I could tour around the place if I want, so I just wanted to check this building out as well” she explained and the guard chuckled before he took out his gun and pointed at her.“He also told us not to hesitate to kill you if you ever approach this building” he threatened and Linda stared at him in disbelief, did Nero really give such orders?“Calm down…i am leaving” she turned on her heels and walked back to the mansion and sighed heavily before her gaze moved to Lena who sat on the couch.“Why are you just sitting here all pretty? Is your life so perfect?” Linda scolded and Lena stared at her confused, what did she mean?“Nero killed our parents, and he has you entrapped in this mansion; shouldn’t we

    Nero pulled the chair and sat down before he filled a glass with wine and had a sip. Then he realised a lot of gazes were on him, he sighed, “Why the tension? Just eat.”They all nodded and started eating just because they were asked to eat and not because they had an appetite. Lena kept exchanging gazes with Linda, who urged her to talk to Nero.“So…uhm, are you heading out today?” Lena asked, trying to break the silence, and Nero leant back in his seat.“Hmmm, do you wish to come along?” He asked, and she shook her head in denial. The last time she went out with him, she almost lost her life.“Is it okay if I go out with Linda?” Lena questioned, and his gaze shifted to Linda, and he pointed at Otto.“Hmm, he will be your driver.”“Me?” Otto questioned in disbelief; he was an officer and had a job and also crimes to solve; he didn’t take orders from Nero.“Do you have a problem with that?” Nero asked, and Otto clenched his fist before he stared at Lena.“We…we won’t need a car,” Lena

  • Entrapped By The Mafia   The Devil

    Lena felt weird; she quickly opened her eyes and found Nero next to her on the bed with his gaze focused on her. She jolted up and scanned the bedroom and bed.“Good morning,” he greeted, and she sighed heavily; she totally forgot that she now shared a bedroom with him and even a bed.“I don’t mean to be rude, but it’s very weird when you stare that much,” she said with a frown, and Nero chuckled before he trailed his hand down her cheek.“I liked it more when you were asleep,” he commented and bit his lower lip.“Kiss me,” he ordered, and she clenched her fist. She hated when he ordered her around, and even if he asked nicely with a money bouquet, she still would never kiss him.She walked down the bed and hurried to the bathroom, completely ignoring Nero, who sighed heavily.His phone rang, and he retracted the phone to check the caller. It was Dante. “I am listening.”“We found something interesting about the Morgans. I sent you an email, and you can check it out,” Dante explained,
