Nora/Camilla's POV.

He stood with his head raised tall and his hands dipped into his pockets. There was something about his presence- it exuded command and stillness.

Everywhere was enveloped by silence and the expression on Steve and Cassandra's faces, confirmed that man was the least person they had expected to show up at the house.

The more I stared at him, the more I felt something within me. It felt like I had known him for ages- as if that wasn't the first time we were meeting. And that his voice, I had heard it somewhere, but I couldn't pinpoint where.

My heart wouldn't stop beating wildly merely by staring at him.

“Who the hell is this guy? Why does he strangely look familiar? And why are Steve and Cassandra so shocked to see him?” I questioned internally, my eyes darting from one face to the other.

“Hi, Williams. You're here?” Cassandra asked awkwardly, gently placing the flower vase back on the table, with a forced smile on her face.

Williams? So, his name is Williams?

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   In His Brother's Arms

    Camilla's POVI watched as they both walked up the stairs with different questions running through my mind. What was going on? Why did Steve look so worried and agitated? And why did that man keep on calling me Selene? “Don't think this is over, Camilla. I will make sure you pay for killing my child. You will definitely pay. It's a promise,” Cassandra said with bitterness as she walked away, her eyes laced with tears. Her threat was the least of my problems. What I was quite worried about and interested in was the conversation the two brothers were having upstairs. “What if in the process of their discussion, Willams mistakenly mentions what transpired between us weeks ago? What the hell am I going to do?” I fidgeted, pacing up and down the living room.I wasn't particularly worried about Steve finding out, what I was worried about was his reaction. “What if he throws me out? How will I be able to accomplish my mission of killing him? How will I save my daughter?” Those were my t

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   Never Letting Go

    Williams/Drevyn's POV She was staring at me with a wild expression on her face, her hands hovering on her mouth as if she had come to the realization - that it was me, the stranger she had spent the night with at the club weeks ago. She was as beautiful as always. Those eyes of hers that had always looked at me with love, were still as alluring as before- just that they had become more beautiful. I couldn't express how happy I was to be able to stand so close to her, while all I did for the past two decades was to watch her from afar. I was back for good and would never let go of her hand again. “Selene, I am here for you as I had promised. Take my hand and let's burn down the world together,” I proposed with a smile on my face, stretching my hand forth. She hesitated, just staring at me in confusion as if I was acting a drama. Well, I wasn't expecting her to take my hand just like that. Who in their right senses would take the hand of a man they barely knew?But surprisingly, h

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   When the Hell Breaks Loose

    Nora/Camilla's POV.Days passed and just as I had promised Lorenzo before he took his last breath, I was at his funeral offering his wife and kids the support they needed. Since that night, I had been very cautious around Steve. I was careful of what I did and said. I told my father to stop calling and should only send me messages when the need arose. It took about a week after the surgery before Cassandra woke up. I was at home after spending the night at the hospital watching over Cassandra, when my phone rang. It was Steve who had called. "Hello, baby. Guess what?" he beamed excitedly. "What?" I asked, pretending to be as excited as he was. "Cassandra........ she is awake," he revealed, giggling. If someone had seen how happy he was, they would have thought he really cared about her. I could bet with my life that while Cassandra was in coma, he was silently wishing that she wouldn't wake up."Oh, that's nice. What a great way to start the day! How is she now? Is she fine?""Ye

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   The Devil Beside Her

    Nora/Camilla's POVThe same way I entered the hotel with ease was the same way I exited. My father made everything easy for me and I was grateful to him for that. I headed back to the basement, changed into my dress and returned the sniper back to where I had picked it. It was time for me to head back to the hospital as Camilla- the dense wife. It didn't take time before the news about Lorenzo's death was made public, but nothing was mentioned about Steve. Nothing like he and Lorenzo being found in the suite, or Steve being injured and rushed to the hospital. I became worried instantly. Did he die too? Did I miscalculate? No, he can't die. I wanted him to live not because of the love I had for him, but he was the only key I had. The key to solving my riddles.As I drove, I kept on checking my phone hoping to receive a call or message in respect of Steve, but I got none. "What the hell is going on?" I had thought, becoming unsettled, with my brow furrowed in confusion. By the tim

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   The Deal Behind the Closed Door

    Nora's POVI took my time in the basement going through Lorenzo Mendez's file. It was stated that he would be meeting with a business partner that night at the hotel where I was meant to take him down. "Take the business partner down with him," that was the last line written on the last page of his file- typed in bold, underlined, and circled in red.Take the business partner down with him? Why? What was my father up to?There was something hidden- something off and I promised myself to dig into it. But not tonight. I had to finish that task for my daughter's sake. It was almost time for me to leave, so I began preparing. I changed out of my dress to the black leather jacket and trousers my father had prepared in advance. I put on my boots , which soles were soundless and then my gloves. Afterwards, I packed my hair into a sleek bun to avoid any distraction.I sat in front of the mirror and did some light make-up. At least, I would give Lorenzo the honor of dying with a beautiful
