Elara's POV

‘I'm beautiful and smart… I'm priceless.’

I recited the mantra in my head over and over again. Sitting on the soft plush chair in the fully air-conditioned lobby, I was the last person in the line of ladies waiting to be interviewed.

Lately, Marco was always on the run, either sorting something out, or barking into his phone, or cussing out and drowning bottles of expensive liquors. When he left this morning with Lorenzo, while they ranted about some missing funds, I left home, not to escape, but to job hunt.

‘Make do with your magic.’

Lady Lucia's vague words came harder. I wasn't sure what she meant, but I was here anyway to find out.

“Martha,” the receptionist's voice sounded. “This way, please.”

One by one, the ladies and gentlemen that came to for the same job placement, were called to be interviewed.

Even though I dropped out of my school and the course my parents had pioneered, I took online classes and had qualifications on account and finances. Hopefully, th

  • HIS: The Mafia King's Property   96: A Knife In My Heart

    Marco's POV ‘Violet is your child!’Evelyn’s words hit me so hard in the chest that I went dumbstruck. My hand was still on the plunger but frozen. My mind hopped out of my body, sailing into space without a care.What the fuck?!I tried to put a stop to my skyrocketing blood pressure. I was clearly going crazy. A desperate lady like her would do anything including lie, to save her life… Also, one like her would barely tell a tell. So, which was it?The drip bag dangled. I just stared into space, confused. “She met you in an unconventional circumstance.” She began, sensing the effect of the news on me. “You had mistaken her for one of your slut and she needed a saving?”I scoffed. All lies. “She told you that?”“Doubting?” Her tone was steady. “She was horny because her drink was laced by those fuckers who wanted to get in between her legs…”“Woman…”“Get a grip.” She sighed, nonchalant. “There would have never been a devil in her life if not for one silly mistake. The baggage she

    Marco’s POV “The second pie.” I gave a coded response to Kaid. “First, the lady Evelyn spoke to earlier today isn't her mum.” He dropped the bombshell. “She is a lady, the same age as herself. They also date back to being childhood besties until they separated for their American dreams.” He paused rapping, and I hummed, giving him a signal to go on. “” Also, she isn't relocating to her hometown.” He spilled more secrets. “They plan on leaving the country for Africa, far away from here. And their flight is set in twenty-four hours.” My hand clenched around my phone, about to snap it in halves. “They got a dream apartment of 350k dollars, including other luxury items her peanut salary can't afford.”My eyes fell on Elara’s face. She was slowly drifting asleep. I lowered my voice to a whisper. “Who is the sender?” “He's very discreet. The transaction was done via Bitcoin wallet.” He sighed. “It would take a while to crack.”“Be there soon.” I dropped the call. Elara had now falle

    Marco's POV “Time isn't our friend, Kaid.” I clenched my jaw. “The life of my child is involved.”I noticed the confused look on his face as his brows furrowed. “Your child?” He asked, unable to keep it in.Slowly, I nodded, eyes ahead as I watched the landscape. “I wish to gain the right as her father, do all the process… I'm just drawn to the little girl.” He blinked, stunned by my revelation. “When all this is over I'd ask to be her foster father.” Now, I turned to face him. “Not a word of this should slip out… It's for your own good, anyway. Elara would slit your tongue.”His lips thinned in a small smile then he nodded. “Get to work.” He slightly bowed before taking his leave, the soles of his shoes clicked the hard floor. Alone, I walked back to the room, not wasting one more second. Evelyn stepped out right on time. Head bowed, she mumbled her greetings and hurried out. When I walked into the room, Elara was sitting with her back pressed to the wall. She stared into spac

  • HIS: The Mafia King's Property   93: A Predator

    Marco’s POV The door silently opened. I perched on the frame, my dark eyes on Evelyn, watching, listening to her whispering. She curled like a toad, pressed to the wall, with her phone trapped to her ear as she murmured and sniffled. “I can't…I hate myself, God… It's not okay…” She stopped to sniffle. “I shouldn't have accepted to look over Violet… Jeez…” She puffed. “I'm leaving town…”A short silence followed. As if she learned of my presence, she stopped all she was doing and slowly turned. When our eyes met, she gasped, breath caught in her throat. “Let me… Let me call you back.”For a few seconds, my hands remained crossed, hanging along my body. I finally pulled away from the door and strolled in. A vacant seat was by her bedside, good enough to read all her reactions. “Marco…”“Only Elara calls me that.” My low groan was more than enough warning. “Mr. Conti to you or better still, Don.”She nodded like a moron. Seeing I was here for her, she sat up, knees drawn up to her c

  • HIS: The Mafia King's Property   92: Anguish Of A Mother

    Elara's POV ‘Please… wait… My child…’ I shook my head, and my body moved restlessly. ‘Don't kill her… Please!’My body jerked into consciousness. I was sweating profusely just as my heart was beating harder by the second. For a moment, I paused to take in all that was before me. The drip stand, oxygen mask, my punctured wrist. I was in the hospital. My mind tried to race back to what happened a few hours before. The sordid imagery of what happened in Evelyn’s house hit me, causing my heartbeat to skyrocket. My child!The blaring sound of the BP machine made someone jump to my aid. It was Marco. He had been in the room all along. I looked around with the hopes of seeing Violet on another bed…Nothing.“Oh, god.” He groaned and slapped the alarm button on the head of my bed. “Don't move.” He cautioned, wrapping his arms around me for support. “My baby…”“I know, I know.” His hot breath warmed my face. His grip was quite firm, trapping me in place and thanks to his huge frame, it w

  • HIS: The Mafia King's Property   90: How The Hell?!

    Marco's POV “Don…” Elara's driver coughed, the rough sound felt like he was sputtering blood. It made my heart jump. Whatever it was had to be grave. First, I had never gotten a call from him on any occasion. All he ever did was simply drive Elars and the kid out and back in silence. Now, he was in a terrible state. “Speak if you don't want your tongue slit.” I rambled.“The child has been kidnapped.” He mumbled with what seemed to be his last breath. I froze. For the first time in my life, I went numb. My brain spilled all over the place, finding a good grasp on my reaction, but I was numb. “Ma'am Elara…” His ragged breathing pounded on the phone's speaker. “She is inside… Maybe death… I don't know… But there were gunshots.”Holy heck!!!My brain snapped hard, dragging me out of my catatonic state. I spun and stopped, still fuzzy, still lost. “Location.” My cold tone blared in his ear drum. “Her friend's place.” That was all I needed. I ended the call and rushed back into my
