Promised to a Ruthless Mafia

Atasha's POVI am inside the conference room with other doctors discussing the most severe type of traumatic brain injury."Diffuse axonal injuries are one of the most severe types of traumatic brain injury. They occur when the brain is shaken or twisted inside the skull. As the brain twists, the cerebral tissue slides back and forth until the long connecting fibers in the brain (called axons) tear. The axonal shearing disrupts messages that neurons send, resulting in loss of function." explained Dr. Clark."Shot of tequila sounds nice don't you think?" Grace whispered on my side so I looked at her and gave her a death glare."Focus," I reminded her since we are in the middle of a serious meeting. Grace let out a soft chuckle instead of taking me seriously."I'll call the girls later," she added so I rolled my eyes and focused my eyes in front.After sharing different insights about the situation the meeting ended and Grace being a slave of alcohol persuaded me to have a drink with he

Atasha's POVConfusion was written on my face when some random woman entered the room."Hi," she greeted me with her lively voice but I didn't bother to greet her back. She is wearing a black leather jacket and I must admit that she is undeniably gorgeous. Her red hair made her look sexy and it heightened her features."I'm Veronica Reeve," she introduced herself."I brought you clothes," she uttered then raised the paper bag that she is holding."T-Thank you," I responded then swallowed hard when she slowly walked towards my bed."Don't worry I'm harmless," she uttered with a soft chuckle. Veronica sat on the edge of my bed and then put the paper bags down."Conrad must have scared you, that asshole," she uttered then gave me a genuine smile. Veronica looks friendly and her aura screams warmth but I can't trust her because she is just like Conrad."Can you help me?" I asked hopeful that maybe she will help me escape this hell.Veronica just let out a soft laugh."You can't escape Ata

Conrad's POV I saw Atasha's eyebrows furrowed when her mother was mentioned. "Do you know my mother?" she asked with confusion written on her face.Mr Lim smiled and then nod his head."Of course who wouldn't know her when your father sacrifice everything just to be with that woman," Mr Lim responded followed by a chuckle.I can tell that Atasha wants to ask more questions but she chose not to, instead, she let out a deep breath and then smiled at Mr Lim."I guess my father loves my mother so much that's why" she responded."That's why he sold you off just to be with your Mom," Mr Lim added. I felt Atasha's fist tightly clenched so I held it firmly giving her a signal to calm herself.Atasha looks at me and then let out a deep breath before facing Mr Lim once again."I'll just use the restroom," she uttered excusing herself.When Atasha is gone I faced Mr Lim."What happened to her mother?" I asked but Mr Lim shook his head."She died," he responded like it was nothing."How did Leo

Conrad's POV The whole ride on the way home was awfully quiet and I am fine with that, I am used to this kind of silence anyway.When I reached my unit I punched the code and stepped inside and I felt Atasha following me.I headed towards the living and sat on the couch. I unbuttoned my polo shirt slightly revealing my chest then leaned on the couch.I saw Atasha headed towards her room and I watched her as she stepped inside.When Atasha is out of my sight I reached for the remote and open the TV. While I am in the middle of distracting myself I felt my phone vibrate against my pocket and upon looking at my phone screen I saw my father's name so I let out a deep breath and then answered the call."Meet me at 8 in the evening, I will send you the address of the restaurant, bring Atasha with you," he uttered and after that, he dropped the call not letting me speak.After that call, I continued watching the show and when it was already four in the afternoon I stood up and walked towards

Conrad's POVI stared at her face intently. One wrong move and our lips would touch so I stay still."No," I firmly uttered then using my index finger I pushed her head away from me.Atasha rolled her eyes, fix her posture and stood up straight with her arms wrapped around her chest."Will get married in a few weeks stop rushing everything and just behave yourself," I firmly uttered then turned around and continued walking until I reached the living room.I thought I can finally have my rest not until I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket.I took my phone out and upon looking at the screen I saw Veronica's name.I answered the call and put the phone on my ear."What is it?" I asked."Guns and some explosive weapons had been transported," Veronica responded."I'll be there in a few," I uttered then dropped the call and stand up but the moment I turned around I saw Atasha standing in front of me."May I come with you?" she asked. "Why?" I asked while looking at her intently.Atasha let
