“The nerve of this man to reject my calls.” Brandon cursed after calling Dylan for the twentieth time and, he canceled it, for the twentieth time. Huffing a frustrated sigh, Brandon tossed his cell phone before stepping on the accelerator hard making his car talk to the winds.The bold move he made in the hospital by drugging Xander and revealing his identity fired back at him. Brandon got so lost in bragging that he completely forgot about the unconscious woman in the hospital ward. And now she was abducted and he was well aware that it was Dylan’s doing, ’cause after all, who has the guts to kidnap the Mafia’s beloved right under his nose? The entire hospital was under the watch of Dylan.But his little stunt had landed Brandon in hot water.The car came to a screeching halt. Brandon kicked the door open and sprinted towards the lavish villa. But what he didn’t expect was to be stopped at the gate by Dylan’s men.“Move aside,” Brandon growled, glaring at the guard who also didn’t av
“Argh...”Groaning in pain, Evelyn opened her eyes with utter difficulty. Her head was throbbing and her whole body was in pain. As if she had been run by a truck or collided with a wall.Her brows scrunched in pain as she removed the covers and stood up on her elbows while massaging her temple vigorously. The entire room was drowned in darkness with not a single soul in sight. Whimpering, she scooted to the end of the bed and switched on the lamp.Her brown eyes bounced up and down the room, as she checked her surroundings. Evelyn was still under the medication but its effect wore off the moment her eyes fell on the black walls.She was in someone else’s bedroom.Her heart jolted as she immediately sat up straight.“W-Where am I?”Evelyn was in too much pain and was failing terribly to pinpoint the reason. But she didn’t meet with an accident then why was she so enervated?It was the effect of heavy drug doses that Dylan fed to her.Mustering up some strength, Evelyn kicked off the c
Even a small sound had the girl jolting in fright who was curled in a ball and was sitting on the bed in the same position since last night. Her hands were cold and there were patches of dried tears all over her cheeks. She looked miserable.After Dylan’s blood-chilling confession, he abruptly left the room but made sure to lock the beauty inside. Evelyn on the other hand was too terrified to retaliate. She had a hunch that Dylan was behind everything but his attitude left her uneasy. The dauntless look on his face made it clear to her that he can’t be harmed even if he leaves hundreds of bodies behind his trail. Moreover, the way the cops dismissed the case, everything became clear as the sky to her.She was doomed because of two reasons:One he won’t stop and second,No one wouldn’t dare to trifle with the Mafia Lord so saving her was out of the picture.She can’t even go to Xander or Brandon because then she will be putting their life in danger. They might be her shields but at tha
Dylan blared and the next second upended the table sending the expensive cutleries and delicious food to the floor. Evelyn froze in shock: he didn’t just flip the heavy and humongous mahogany table with one hand. Her gaze remained stuck to the broken pieces of crockeries and glasses before she was forcefully pulled up from the chair by her forearm.She let out a yelp and the next second, her left cheek was grasped in a callous hand. She was forced to look into the raging black pair of eyes.“Aren’t you taking me too lightly sweetheart?” Dylan seethed on her face while glowering into her brown hues that soon got filled with water.“I have the power to cage you in my room and do anything with you. No one would be able to stop me if I really kidnap you and make you live under my roof under duress because technically you’re my wife and secondly, I hold the authority to seal everyone’s mouth. People wouldn’t hesitate to cooperate and if they rebel, I will pluck their hearts out.”Evelyn wa
“WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, DYLAN”Raging like a bull, Brandon stormed inside the cabin of the Mafia while his men tried holding him back. He slammed the door shut before scanning the luxurious office to locate the perpetrator and found him sitting on the chair with his eyes glued to the screen.His blare overpowered the constant clicking sound of the keyboard as Dylan halted and lifted his head to shoot him a glare.“This is not your garden that you can barge in whenever you want to.”“Shut up,” Brandon admonished and stood in front of him, “I am not a fan of risking my life to meet a Mafia. After knowing how you terrorized Evelyn and even went to drop her home, I don’t even want to see your face.” He growled and looked away as annoyance dripped from his face.“Then why are you here?”Brandon let out a growl, his jaw clenched as he turned to Dylan who was as usual giving him his famous glacial stare.“Because you’re not only putting your life in danger but mine and Evelyn’s too
Busy legs paced the room back and forth. The strands of her beautiful brunette were stuck together because of sweat as the girl never stopped for once. The untoward circumstances turned more bitter by the unexpected arrival of her ex who snatched the sleep from her eyes. Her state was disheveled while her face was painted with worry and a bone-chilling dread.Evelyn was behind the eight ball because the past which she had left behind to start a new leaf, was always chasing her like a shadow. After abandoning Dylan, she burned her bridges because she had no intention of going back into the hell from which she managed to escape after so long. But once again, Dylan beat her to it. He came back stronger, more powerful, and oofy than he already was and the feather in his cap was his criminal badge.Evelyn had never thought of Dylan becoming a Mafia and the worse part was that he wasn’t a simple gangster but the Mafia Lord of America. She was aware of the Night Stalkers. They were the most
Evelyn was fed up with everything. Firstly, she had a hard time believing the man who claimed that he was trying to protect her and went underground for two years as penance. But the reality was that behind his façade of contrite, he was drugging people who were closer to her so that she can’t go to someone for help. And now she has to live under that constant fear because no matter what she does, she can’t escape him.And secondly, her only hope, Xander was behaving like a jerk. Acting as if he doesn’t know her. But his completely changed demeanor left her to conclude that he was also one of the Mafia’s targets just like Joseph and Sara who were with her the last time. Evelyn still hadn’t forgotten how Joseph and her upbeat staff greeted her with smiles because the memory of their Boss escaping the claws of death last night was completely wiped off from their minds.Dylan knew that once he releases her from his cage, his little bird would fly around trying to seek help so he drugged
Xander smirked at her frozen state. Dipping his hands in the pockets of his black slacks, he stepped back and before Evelyn could understand, he gripped her palm and placed it on the scanner, unlocking the door.“N-No,” she screamed in panic but it was useless as by then Xander had twisted the knob and rushed outside the secret bathroom. Evelyn tried holding him back but instead got dragged outside.But she hadn’t expected the room to be empty.“Thank God.”Relief washed over her as she placed her palm on her chest and exhaled loudly with closed eyes. When she finally gained control over her senses, Evelyn opened her eyes only to find Xander staring at her with amusement.“Well, if I wasn’t convinced earlier, I am completely assured now.” He mused while eyeing her from head to toe.“Look Xander,” Evelyn said as she held his right hand softly, “I know you have any questions and I promise you that I will answer each one of them. But first, I need you to trust me.” She spoke earnestly.“
