~•~

I sighed as I took a step outside my bedroom. It was my haven, and I didn't dare leave unless it was mealtime.

It wasn't mealtime right now.

My hand was inside the pocket of my sweatpants as I clutched my cell phone tightly. Taking a deep breath, I went down the flight of stairs after checking to make sure no one was around.

I was hoping I wouldn't run into anyone. However, as soon as my leg left the last step, I bumped right into someone.

Avery shrieked at the surprise bump and pushed me back instinctively. I fell back on the staircase, groaning at the pain that sliced through my back.

Biting my lip, I tried to hold back the tears because it hurt like a bitch. I was sure it would leave bruises. "Watch where the fuck you are going, bitch." My sister barked out, and my face flamed in embarrassment as I wondered how they could cuss out loud.

"I'm sorry." I apologized, not bothering to stand up because she would just push me right back.

"Next time, I'll put a bullet between your eyes." She regarded me with a look of disgust before she resumed her walk to wherever the fuck she was going. Only then did I stand up, ignoring the sharp pain in my back.

"Little mouse, where do you think you're going?" I heard my brother's voice when my hand reached for the door.

I turned around slowly, facing him. Axel was the oldest of us and our only brother. He was thirty but still lived in the family house because he would take over my father soon.

He was clad in a business suit, and his blonde hair was slicked back with an insane amount of gel. His blue eyes were trained on me as he waited for my answer. Why did he have to be so damn nosey?

"Uh," I cleared my throat as I prepared to lie. "I'm just going to get a cup of coffee."

"We have coffee at home." He pointed out.

"Yeah, so?"

He raised an eyebrow at my sassiness, and I immediately muttered an apology. While he didn't treat me like my sisters did, it didn't mean he liked me.

"You know everyone can tell when you're lying, right?" When I didn't say anything else, he sighed. "Go. Be back before it's dark."

"Thanks." I rushed out before stepping out of the door. I faintly heard my mother's voice saying she didn't care if I came back or not, but I decided to ignore it.

I couldn't let her ruin my day before it started. My dad had gone on a business trip, and he wanted to meet up with me first before he came home. He texted me to meet him at a bookshop, and I was more than excited to go.

As I walked down to the gate, the eyes of all the men stationed around the house followed me. I never spoke to any of them, and they didn't speak to me either. There were a lot of men around our mansion. It was nerve-wracking, and I made sure to keep leaving my room to a minimum.

It wasn't because I was a snob, but I just couldn't hold conversations with strangers. I would start panicking whenever I tried, and they respected that, not talking to be except necessary.

A man opened the gate for me, and I stepped outside. I didn't have a car as I didn't know how to drive, and I didn't trust strangers to drive me.

The bookshop also wasn't far from the street my house was in.

I strolled through the quiet street, headphones over my ear as I listened to music. I was putting on a faded baggy sweatshirt and a pair of sweatpants. My father wouldn't approve, but I didn't have much in my closet anyway.

As I walked down, I wondered what kind of surprise my father had for me. He was a bipolar person. Sometimes, he loathed me, and other times, he treated me like I was his baby.

I was the baby of the family. I had three older siblings. Axel, Aubrey, and Avery. For some reason, their names all started with the letter A, while I was stuck with Brielle.

It made me feel like I was not a part of the family. It made me feel excluded, especially when they all went to places without me. I couldn't blame them, though. My anxiety was hard to deal with. They were better off going to gatherings and parties without the last Clarke trailing behind them like a lost puppy.

I puffed out a breath as I finally reached the street entrance to see the busy road. I took a left, heading for an alley. I wasn't very fit, and I'd rather use a shortcut whenever possible.

As soon as I entered the alley, I felt a presence behind me, making me tense up.

Not wanting to startle whoever was behind me, I didn't run as I would see the bookshop immediately after I got out of the alley. Besides, it could just be some of my father's men following me for safety. It wasn't like I knew all of them.

I turned off my music so that I could hear well and truly; there were footsteps following behind me. I started to take deep breaths, hoping to calm myself down.

My father had enemies, and this was not the time or place to have an anxiety attack. That didn't change the fact that I was anxious, though. In contrast to my siblings, I had minimal training because my father didn't think training me would do any good or benefit our family.

Hastening my footsteps, I was just about to get out of the alley when a man came in. I stopped walking immediately and turned around to see that I was closed in. I couldn't run, but I could definitely scream for help.

As soon as I opened my mouth to scream, the man in front of me spoke. "Hey, calm down. Are you Brielle Clarke?"

I eyed him warily. "Who's asking?"

He got his answer and locked eyes with the man behind me. Before I could realize what was happening, a cloth was pressed around my nose from behind.

It didn't take long for me to breathe in the substance in the material, and soon, I was falling into a black hole of unconsciousness.

She’s probably not a real Clarke and that’s why she’s treated so badly.

  • Property of the Dominant Mafia Boss   113. All I ever wanted

    Brielle Clarke~•~Maxim had no plans of making use of the toys anyway.It was very late at night and every sane person that was present at that party was asleep already, but not me and Maxim.I was naked and on my knees. The only accessory on my body was the collar that Maxim made me wear. It was black with a silver pendant that had his name on it. It was very derogatory, but it felt hot as fuck.Maxim had me waiting on my knees while he freshened up, which made me anticipate what was going to happen. Only thinking about sex with Maxim had my arousal dripping down my thighs and he hadn’t done anything yet.I heard the closet door open and my eyes snapped up. Maxim was still fully dressed in his three-piece suit, with his tie in place.“Who said you could look at me, whore?”My gaze dropped immediately before I could think twice about it. I heard him approach me and in no time, he was squatting in front of me.He lifted my chin, finally giving me permission to look. My eyes were stuck

  • Property of the Dominant Mafia Boss   112. Clean slate

    Brielle Clarke~•~I knew Maxim had plans for my birthday, but what I didn’t know was that he planned to have a party as big as this.I almost chickened out from descending the stairs when I saw the crowd below it. Maxim had given me a black sleeveless dress to put on and Marina had helped me with my makeup and all that, keeping me inside the room for hours, giving him enough time for all the guests to arrive.“What’s this?” I questioned, my eyes stuck on the people who were eagerly waiting for my arrival.“I told you you deserve to be celebrated, baby. Didn’t I?” I was speechless. I couldn’t fucking speak. “That’s what this is. Now, stop putting on that alarmed face. One would think you were being kidnapped.” My eyes snapped to him and he raised his hand in surrender. “Too soon, I guess.”I laughed, kissing him shortly before he led me downstairs.“Happy birthday, Brielle.” They screamed in unison, making my pale face turn pink.It was night time already and I thought Maxim wanted to

  • Property of the Dominant Mafia Boss   111. Incredibly stupid

    Brielle Clarke~•~After the whole thing, Andrei helped me and my sisters get to the car and drove us home. Maxim didn’t even bother looking at me when we were leaving. I didn’t speak to him either because I knew he was in a difficult state. I didn’t know what to say to him and I didn’t want to say the wrong thing. “Take them home,” Maxim told Andrei. He didn’t flinch. He acted like he was okay like he didn’t just end his father’s life. Throughout the ride home, I was thinking of how Maxim felt. He was definitely angry at me because I wanted to shoot his father. Did I cross a boundary? But I only tried doing it because I wanted to protect Mikhail. “Are you okay?” Aubrey broke the silence in the car. I sat in the middle of both of them and hadn’t moved since the ride started.“Yes, I’m okay.” I lied. I didn’t want to talk about what just happened. I was still trying to process it. “It’s okay if you’re not okay. What happened back there must have been traumatizing.” She didn’t buy m

  • Property of the Dominant Mafia Boss   110. Just like that, it’s over

    Brielle Clarke ~•~I looked up when I heard the door open, already knowing it was going to be Maxim.I felt awful. Maxim had seriously told me not to leave the house yet I did, putting myself and my sisters in danger, along with Maxim because who knew what his father wanted to do to him.From the snippets of conversations I’d heard around the house, Maxim had been provoking his father. Maybe, it was finally time for his father to retaliate and he was only able to get to Maxim through me.I was scared as fuck, but I felt even more guilty.Maxim looked right at me and took a step forward, only for his father to point the gun at me, making him come to a stop immediately. “Not so fast, boy.” He shook his head mockingly. “Are you that eager to save her?”I saw him clench his fists before putting them in his pocket. “What do you want?”“For you to undo all the stupid stunts you pulled.”“I’m sorry I can’t restore burnt buildings.” Maxim gritted out, unable to withhold his sarcasm even in

  • Property of the Dominant Mafia Boss   109. Where is she?

    Maxim Vasiliev ~•~I received an enraged call from my father this morning. He was pissed as fuck, but that did not stop me from going on with my plan.When I woke up this morning, I saw that Brielle wasn’t in bed with me, which meant she was still mad at me, but I didn’t have the time to stick around and wait to apologize to her. When I was done dealing with my father, I would explain everything to her.“You’re not taking it easy on the poor man,” Andrei said. He had also been pained by my father’s betrayal because he was a man we all trusted.“He deserves it,” Mikhail replied from the back seat. “He should have seen it coming. He knows the kind of son he raised.”Not to brag but Mikhail was right. He did know the kind of son he raised. Unlike him, I didn’t hide any parts of myself. I didn’t pretend to be who I wasn’t, so he knew me. He knew what I was capable of and he knew how I’d react to a betrayal. Betrayals were something I didn’t take lightly because a betrayal could ruin the

  • Property of the Dominant Mafia Boss   108. A good time

    Brielle Clarke~•~Just because I slept in the same bed as Maxim last night didn’t mean I’d forgiven him which was why I sneaked out of the bed early in the morning before he could wake up.It was a first for me.“Good morning, Mrs. Vasiliev.” Aubrey joked immediately after I answered her call.I rolled my eyes. “More like Miss Clarke.”“You could’ve fooled me. You said you weren’t sure about today because of your husband’s disapproval?”“He’s not my husband.” I gritted out, irritated by her teasing.“Okay, then how come he’s making decisions for you already?”I sighed. In the beginning, Maxim used to be very protective and controlling, but now, I knew that he wouldn’t tell me not to go out for no reason. He probably had something up his sleeve. The problem was that he didn’t trust me enough to tell me what it was and it aggravated me.That was the main reason I was ignoring him.He got so mad at me when I didn’t trust him and now that I trusted him with my life, he couldn’t share sma
