L A U R AAfter counting six days, I finally lost count of what day it is and how long I've been cooped up here. Days of trying to convince Viktor that he could trust me to be free, and I wouldn't try to run away or hurt him or anyone else.Days of making sure he was happy with my submission.Days of not wanting him to find out the truth.It had been six days since the incident with Marco. Six days since Viktor had made me sit on his lap, shoved his tongue into my mouth, and groped my ass and tits, while promising me he will soon have more of me, and soon have all of me.Six days of convincing him that I would submit, and let him have his way with me.Six days of convincing him that I wanted this as much as he did.I was exhausted and frustrated.Viktor was not backing down this time around. He was the perfect definition of once bitten, twice shy. He wouldn't leave me alone, and always had an eye on me.It was like he had a sixth sense.No matter what I did or said, he would not leav
E L L EAfter a few days of being kept in the hospital, and being fed cold and tasteless hospital food, the doctor had finally decided that I was fit enough to be discharged.The nurse came in, and helped me pack. I was wearing a pair of black leggings, and an oversized cream sweater. I had my hair in a messy bun and had minimal makeup on. I was also wearing a pair of flat shoes, and a leather jacket.I was ready to go home.I missed the house, and my bed. I had been away for way too long, and now I was excited to be going home with the baby.Once the nurse was done, the doctor came in."Congratulations, Mrs. Volkov. You have been given the all clear. You and the baby are both healthy and stable. So, I can finally discharge you.""Really?""Yes. I have already signed the discharge papers, and the nurse will bring them and you will be free to leave.""Thank you.""Don't mention it. Congratulations.""Thank you, doc."The doctor left, and a few minutes later the nurse came in with the p
S E B A S T I A NI was alone in my guest bedroom, trying to wrap my head around this whole thing.Laura had a lot of secrets and the more I learned, the more I was falling in love with her.She was a strong, determined woman.The fact that she could take someone's life didn't change anything. I still loved her and I would die for her.If Viktor is truly alive, and he had Laura, then I would hunt him down and kill him myself. I couldn't even start to imagine the pain she must be going through right now. I didn't even want to think about what he must be putting her through right now. My sweet girl didn't deserve any of this.She deserved to be happy and free, and with a man that loved her, and cherished her, and not with some deranged psycho that was hell bent on torturing her.The moment Giovanna called me, I could feel her fear. She didn't want to show it, but she was scared.Scared that she might lose her cousin, who is more like her sister. We were all scared, but trying to be stron
G I O V A N N AI smiled, and put the phone away, before heading down the stairs with Sebastian who had also freshened up. He was wearing a gray shirt, and a pair of dark pants. We found Fabian seated at the dinner table, eating his food, and a maid served Sebastian and I our plates.I hadn't realized how hungry I was, so I dug in, and didn't stop eating, until my plate was empty.Sebastian also cleaned his plate, and the maid came to remove our plates. Fabian was looking at Sebastian with amusement, and I was curious as to what he was thinking."So, young man. What do you do for a living?""I'm a businessman, sir.""A businessman? That's interesting. What is it that you do?""Well, I own a lot of businesses, and have several investments around the world.""Ah, I see. Well, let's get straight into business, shall we? Sebastian, I need you to be prepared, because once we find Laura, she might not be the same girl you met and fell in love with. The kidnappers, they don't care about how
G I O V A N N AThe plane landed in Italy, and it was registered in my blood that I was back here again. Not for good this time.For a blood war. I was either going to return home alive with Laura, or I die trying to save her. But, it will take a whole village to think they could kill me.I was Giovanna Vause, a mafia princess, and daughter of a powerful mafia boss. And, the most notorious and feared one.My father's reputation preceded him, and his enemies feared him, and the power he had.He was ruthless and cold-blooded before he died, and me not taking over his empire was a matter of choice, because his blood ran through my body.Sebastian and I stepped out of the plane, and we were greeted by two men, both holding guns, and wearing the black suit that identified them as part of the Vause's Mafia Family."Miss Vause. We are happy to have you back home. I hope your flight was smooth.""Yes, it was. Thank you."He smiled, and then, he was looking at Sebastian. "Ma'am, we made prepar
E L L EMy heart rate went up as the doctor and nurses prepared me for labor. They gave me instructions, and told me what was going to happen.The doctor and the nurse put on their gloves, and the nurse helped me put my feet up in the stirrups, and the doctor positioned himself between my legs.I gripped Mikhail's hand tightly, and he held my hand, whispering words of encouragement."Alright, Elle. I want you to start pushing now. You can do it. Just push.""Come on, baby. Push. You can do it. Just listen to the doctor's orders. Listen, and do whatever he says. Everything is going to be just fine." Mikhail whispered comfortingly as he stroked my hair, giving me strength. I nodded, and bit down on my lip as I started pushing. It hurt so bad, but the thought of finally seeing my baby in the flesh gave me the strength I needed to keep going."The baby is crowning, Elle. Keep going. Keep pushing." "Come on, love. You're doing so great.""Baby's head is out. Alright, Elle. One more big p
