LOGIN“What the fuck do you mean you can’t find my fucking wife?” I asked angrily. I could barely calm down. I was hunting down Viktor like a dog, and her so-called best friend was out there. Either of them could take her.What was the point of having bodyguards if they didn’t protect the woman I wanted to marry? If she could easily slip out of their sight, they were useless if she was attacked.Her phone pinged that she was still in the dressing room of the boutique she was in, which I knew was not the case. I already had a tracker inside her, which she had agreed to the minute I slipped the engagement ring on her finger.There were a lot of factors to consider before you married a mafia boss. One of them was safety. There were enemies in every corner and crevice of my life. I had to put forth the right measures to ensure her safety.I tracked her and saw that she was heading to an abandoned industrial area on the outskirts of New York. I cursed, wondering why she would slip her security de
Lily didn’t take her eyes off me. No matter how much I tried to distract her, she wouldn’t listen to me. She’d told me to shut up more times than I could count and even threatened to sew my mouth shut.Too bad I had a big mouth that I couldn’t keep quiet. Plus, I knew it was probably the last time I would talk to her and get some closure. The next time I saw her, there would be nothing left to say.And I wouldn’t remain on that bed, waiting for Lily and Viktor to take me to hell. Within the hour, I was prepared to risk it all and escape. I didn’t almost die for nothing.“Why did you kill the same people who raised you?” I asked. “They may not have been your blood, but they took care of you.”“They didn’t do it willingly. They tried to take the money my father gave them and run when he died. They didn’t know that I was my father’s daughter. I was trained to fight, blackmail, and kill for as long as I knew what that was.”“My father left my godfather all the leverage needed to make sure
I woke up in a hospital bed, but I couldn’t quite open my eyes because they were heavy. I knew I was in a hospital based on the scent of sterilization. I hated the smell of hospitals.They always reminded me of bad moments. Even though I couldn’t see anything, I could still hear people speaking. The voices sounded far away, and they weren’t very clear, but they were clear enough for me to make out what the people were saying.“Why would she do something like this? It feels like she wanted to die. I can’t believe she cut herself. Is she fucking crazy? Where the fuck were you anyway? You were supposed to make sure nothing happened to her.”“It all happened too fast. She struck when I least expected it. Plus, I think she did this on purpose so that she would be able to get out of the house and maximize her chances of escaping.”I heard the man who hadn’t been speaking before the woman snicker. “You think she would do something like that? She risked her life. If you had gotten in here t
That night, I was as miserable as ever. It was only a few hours left until I was supposed to be brutalized by Lily, Viktor, and their friends. I tried to open the window and see if I could run, but it was sealed shut.And even if it wasn’t, it was a long way down, and I would likely break something if I jumped. Not to mention Lily made sure I had no warm clothes. I wouldn’t get far outside before I died of hypothermia.I was in a silk red dress that Lily had given to me after she watched me shower to make sure I didn’t do anything dumb like drowning myself in the shower. Her words, not mine.As I would kill myself before I killed her. She was the one who deserved to die, and that’s what I believed. I didn’t believe I was the one who was supposed to die. I believed she was the one who was supposed to die.But she gave me a few ideas. I had a few hours to plan how I was going to make sure I escaped from the clutches of Viktor.As the hours passed, I started to lose hope. No one came to
Looking at Lily made me sick. She was eager to answer all my questions excitedly. I hated her so fucking much. She killed my parents because they were brave enough to expose her father for all the awful things he had done.Her father was the two-timing bastard, and my parents suffered for not being an accessory to that. Antonio Russo was his name. Nero told me all about him. He was not a good man. He had apparently driven his wife, Lily, and Luca’s mother to suicide.That was why she didn’t mention her mother in the story. I had learned a long time ago that knowledge was power, and I’d wanted to know everything Nero had to tell me. I was glad I did, because I would use my knowledge of her family to throw her off balance.But before that, I wanted to know everything she had done so that my anger for her would only rise. That would motivate me to kill her because I would. As she said, it was an eye for an eye.I wouldn’t allow her to get away with killing my parents, framing them as a t
At least they kept me in a decent room. It had a fireplace, a comfortable bed, a window, a closet, and a bathroom. There was nothing in that room I could use to attack someone.There were np lamps, no bedside tables, no clothes in the closet, and the fireplace was modern. There was no way I was able to escape or do anything other than be in bed. What was the purpose of that?I would never be able to sleep knowing you planned to turn me into a prostitute. I didn’t want to end up like that, but there was also nothing that could be done. I planned to talk to Lily and hope she had something beating under her chest.When she brought me food that night, she was as alert as ever. She was going to sit down and watch me eat, so I took the opportunity to ask her some questions. I wanted to know what circumstances led her to be the one to contribute to most of my problems.“Why?” I asked.“Excuse me?” She asked as she raised an eyebrow at me. She was sitting comfortably on a chair opposite the b
“You reek of sex, Nero,” Nico said to me as soon as I walked into the conference room of our legitimate company.There were other Capos in suits filling the seats. We were there to strategize on how to proceed with a small gang called La Croce di Ferro, which meant The Iron Cross in English.“Fuck
Dominic’s words stuck with me throughout the entire night. He claimed I was bad for Nero, and he was right. Maybe his brother would have still been alive if I had stayed away from his family.But the selfish part of me was glad I did because I had a chance to find out what happened to my parents no
“No, Zio is—” “Not a good man, Serena. Where do you think his ex-wife went? Come on, she cheated on him with my brother. A man like that has a huge ego. He wouldn’t allow her to walk away. Rumor has it that he killed her.” I shook my head. I saw how broken he and Matteo were after she disappeared.
I watched as my fiancé approached Viktor and flirted with him. I rolled my eyes and went outside to wait for her. I wasn’t going to wait for her to do what she wanted to do while staring at both of them.I was going to lecture her about Viktor. He was my enemy and was probably plotting how he was g
