Chapter Seventeen— The bait/Return to Ruin.

The warehouse was empty.

Too empty. Like no one was supposed to be there. The wet asphalt road outside indicated that no one had driven by recently.

Matteo sat in his car, next to Viktor, his coat still damp from the light drizzle outside. The sound of dripping water drummed against the windows.

There were no men, no crates, no deals.

“Try calling the burner phone again,” he instructed. Viktor dialed the number and waited. It kept ringing. No answer.

He pushed out a breath of air slowly, gradually losing it. His eyes shifted to his wrist watch. Whoever he was supposed to meet with was twenty minutes late. Tardiness was something he couldn't condone but this time, something wasn't adding up.

Mind reeling, eyes calculating, he pieced everything together. What were the odds that this was a set up?

It was slowly starting to make sense. There was no deal and this was just a trick, a way to get him out of his house. Out of safety.

  • Made For The Mafia    Chapter Nineteen

    Chapter Nineteen— Chains and Chaos.The ropes bit into his wrists again but he barely felt it now. It was a dull throb compared to the chaos in his head.He'd been beaten, dragged and assaulted by the one person he once trusted, Viktor. But none of that had burned as much as the moment Elena came bursting through those doors—kicking and ready for a fight. Something he considered stupidly brave.Why the hell did she come back? For him? Matteo sat slouched in the cold metal chair, his face expressionless, eyes trained on the wall across from him. Not on the blood drying on the floor. Not on the door she’d just been dragged through, not on her weak frame passed out on the floor.The problem was Viktor had seen it.That flicker in his eyes when he first saw her.It was a mistake—showing even that much emotion.He couldn’t afford another one.The metal door groaned open. Viktor stepped in with two other men trailed behind, neither of whom Matteo recognized. One carried a black tablet, the

  • Made For The Mafia    Chapter Eighteen

    Chapter Eighteen—Ashes and Ruin.Elena ran. Her lungs burned as she followed Gen through the narrow underground passage that fanned out across the estate. As tired as she was, Zoey clutched Elena's arm, dragging her weight, her steps clumsy. The girl still hadn't said much since they'd left. Just wide eyes and trembling fingers. “Can we stop?” Rosa asked, slowing down to catch her breath. Gen slowed. “We can't stop here. If they find this tunnel, we're all dead.”As they pushed deeper into the tunnel, the darkness swallowed them. The smell of mold, earth and murky water enveloped them. Water dripped from somewhere above, and each step echoed around them like a dull scream.Elena’s mind spun. She kept seeing the nurse again—her glassy eyes, the blood. Then the shadow in the hallway. Then… Viktor.He shot them. He shot Matteo’s men—his men.Too many questions swirled around her head. Why would he?Matteo trusted him.Elena clutched her fists, her heart thudded against her ribs like

  • Made For The Mafia    Chapter Sixteen

    Chapter Sixteen—Traps.“Are you sure you’re okay?” Elena nodded, her eyes distant. Gen wasn't buying it. She’d seen Elena sneaking into Matteo's room, which was quite unusual. It was easy to spot the blush in her cheeks and the distant look in her eyes. The way she played with her necklace absentmindedly.“I saw you heading into Matteo's room,” she finally stated. Elena snapped out of her haze. “Does it have anything to do with him?”She shook her head. “No, of course not. I'm fine Gen,” Elena responded. “I’d stay away from him if I were you,” she warned. “Don't let yourself get trapped like the most of the girls in here.”A frown formed across Elena’s face. “What’d you mean?”“You wouldn't be the first to fall for Matteo, neither would you—”“I don't have a crush Matteo,” Elena quickly cut in. “Yeah, and I never slept with Matteo's father,” Gen retorted and rolled her eyes. “Take it from me. I paid for it. If it wasn't for Raven I would've left this shit hole as soon as I could b

  • Made For The Mafia    Chapter Fifteen

    Chapter Fifteen- Scowls and Scorns.Elena stared at the young girl pitifully. She looked tired and frail.“Where are your parents?” She asked. The girls eyes dimmed at the question. Zoey didn't have to respond. Elena understood. “What did he do to you?” Elena said, her voice barely above a whisper as she stared at the girls battered body. Whip marks fanned out across her back and a small side of her neck. The bruises had eventually grown and the skin ripped open, exposing raw flesh. The sight was horrific. “Who did this to you?”Rosa shook her head. “Why don't we leave her alone. She's had a rough one.”Zoey stared at both ladies. She wanted to talk, wanted to see if they could help her escape but she wasn't sure she could trust them. Surely, anyone working for that horrid man but be a friend of his. “I'll be back to check on you, okay?” Elena promised the child, squeezed Rosa's hand and left. Her mind reeled. Was Matteo responsible for that? Her blood boiled. How dare he do th

  • Made For The Mafia    Chapter Fourteen

    Chapter Fourteen— New allies Elena couldn't think. Two days had passed since the downtown explosion, and the weight of it still pressed on her chest like a boulder she couldn't move.She was innocent.She’d never hurt anyone—but the police didn’t know that, neither did the civilians waiting on her arrest. She thought about her father. Had he also watched the news? Would he believe her? The afternoon heat pressed down on her like a punishment. She sat on a fallen slab of concrete, watching the others spar—herself, distant and detached.A few feet away, Viktor observed her in silence. For the first time, she was broken—and this time, Matteo was to thank. That should have pleased Viktor.And yet watching her like this—vacant, unraveling—made something in him uneasy.“Elena, you're up next,” he called out.She blinked, slow and hollow, the fire in her eyes extinguished. Still, she stood and moved to the center of the room like a puppet on strings.“Rosa, you're with Elena.”Rosa stepped
