THE LIES THAT BIND Chapter 16
Isabel’s POV. I waited in the living room for Massi to get back home later that day. While I walked round the living room in panic, I prayed for Ana’s safety. I hoped she came back home from wherever she went that day because her dad wasn’t going to take it lightly. It was a clear agreement between the Russian Pratva and The Cosa Nostra and now we had already broken a part of our bargain to the Russian Pratva leader.I heard the door open and a figure walk into the living room, my heart raced and I turned to see who it was, hoping it turned out to be Ana since I first saw the hair of a lady, but it was Vanessa, my elder sister. She looked straight at me and discovered how weary I was at the time so ran to me. “Sister, what is happening to you, I told you we’ll get over this and it wouldn’t take longer than you think, the girl would be found, trust me, everything would be alright,” Her voice shrill and her expression softened around the corner. My hands were knocked to part of the tr

Vanessa's POV. He was so lucky I shot at the roof right away, else he would have been a dead man. I wondered what even gave him such an aura to come up against me in such a manner. Everything about me changed the moment he took that second step and I felt maybe I would have the blood of the Russian don in my hands. I wasn’t even trying to let go as my sister Isa kept on pleading while I felt raged. I frowned and kept a mean look at him while I pointed the gun straight to his forehead now. “Wait a minute, are you even serious right now? what the hell is wrong with you?!” he yelled and gestured with his hands spread across. “You shouldn’t have doubted me Nikolei, maybe next time you’ll be able to adhere to simple instructions, don’t underestimate the words of a broken girl,” I replied and bit my lips. It was indeed so frustrating at the moment and I stood in fear as I watched him stare back at me. I wasn’t ready to go into a gun battle with him though, he was so experienced and would

Ana’s POV. I was hungry and never knew I would even be here for as long as this. I was tied still, to the chair and watched the men as they brought in a box which was covered with a black polythene. I wondered what they would be using that for anyway. They all stared at me from time to time to monitor my moves even as I sat in chains and tied up. ‘What the hell could these men be up to and why are they staring at me like that?’ I muttered as I watched them bring out some lumps of meat from another bag and one of them began cutting it into pieces. I was marveled at first but not till I saw the first men unwrap a fresh corpse and begin to chop off parts of her body. It was a female and I guess she was once kept on this same chair and interrogated like me. I felt tense and goosebumps were all over my body. My eyes widened and I saw the contraction in my nerves as I asked one of the men who was walking down the corner. “Excuse me, please, don’t tell me that’s going to be my fate,” I as

Massimo’s POV. It was so disheartening that she wasn’t still found. At least the kidnappers should have been able to give a call to ask for a ransom. The money wasn’t going to be a problem at all, all I needed was for her to be in good health. I was in the room with her elder brother, Nikolai, and we both needed to have a personal man-to-man discussion concerning this. Nothing was as fruitful as two men with able guards and resources, teaming up to achieve a goal such as this. With him by my side I believed we would find Ana and bring her back home, maybe without a scratch. I tried to take a drink from the champagne bottle and all of a sudden Nik pulled out the drink and poured it into my cup. “I was only trying to make you understand that I needed this drink more than you do, but at the same time, I’ll have to make sure you get this first before me. You’re the man of the house, Massimo,” Nik said as he poured and smiled. I was astonished at how he did that even without me tenderin

Ana’s POV. I was so frustrated at the blood all over the room. This was a separate place Logan and the other man, whom he referred to as Egar, took me to. They intended to have me sold out to the merchants band that was an info I trapped while Logan was on call. But since he didn’t strike a clear bargain with them, it was crystal clear that they’ll have to turn the direction of the calls back to Massimo or my dad. Logan walked towards me while I sat on the stool with my hands handcuffed behind. His face looked fierce and his brows furrowed. I could see the tension in the air as he moved to and fro, trying to reach Massimo who at the moment wasn’t on the line. The whole thing got him pissed and more frustrated that he yelled in the air. “Pick up the damn phone, you, bastard!!” He gestured with both hands raised. He looked sweaty at this point before turning to me again as I whispered. “You’ve got to calm down, my husband isn’t always on the phone, maybe you’ll call back later and s

Ana’s POV. I woke up in the room and realized Isabel and Vanessa were already there. I had no clue how I got to that point. The last thing I recalled I saw was the bike Isabel rode into the street and asked me to hop in. My face was pale and I realized I had lost some amount of blood. It was so disheartening that even Vanessa, who was turning out to be my chronic enemy, was involved in the cleaning. I saw her cleaning the floor before I turned to see Isabel stare at me.“She’s awake!” She said, her face showing excitement and her hands lifted to the air as she moved towards me. “I’m so glad you’re awake, like, how the hell did you just collapse behind me on the Bike?!” She asked. Her hands placed on her waist and her eyes showcased some level of shock. “What are you talking about? I didn’t collapse, I was behind the bike with you while you rode through the street. ” “Hmm, ask Vanessa, immediately I entered the gate and stopped at the door, you just fell off the bike and almost hit

Ana’s POV. The door to the room was wide open? Like a thief ran into it and it made me shiver in fear. My hands raised half way in shock while my mouth was left wide open. I couldn’t believe it was the same person and now he’s in the USA. “Where is she?!“ He exclaimed as he turned down to the other corner of the room like he had no clue I was lying right in front of him. I had my brows furrowed and my head bent halfway. I was astonished when I saw him. my elder brother; Nikolei. “My baby sister,” He expressed regret and I could see the wrinkles down the sides of his mouth as he walked quickly and gave me a hug.“Sister, I hope you’re safe?” He asked, his eyes rolling over my face and his hands rubbing through my shoulders while his mouth was still half way opened. His expression showcased fear and at the same time, accomplishment. “Brother, I didn’t know you’d come,” I replied, as I hugged back and watched the maiden who was attending to me right then, as she bent with her hands b

Ana's POV.It’s been two days since Nikolei's visit, and I was finally starting to feel like myself again. I was seated on the couch, scrolling through my phone, when it suddenly rang. I smiled as I saw Isabel's name flashing on the screen."Hey, girl!" Isabel said as I answered the call."I'm so glad I called you. I was just passing by and I have some amazing vegetables that I just can't wait to cook. But I need your help!"I rolled my eyes good-naturedly. "What do you need my help with, Isabel?""Well, Massimo's being a bit of a handful in the kitchen, and I need someone to help me tame him," Isabel said with a laugh. "Plus, I could use an extra pair of hands. It'll be fun, I promise!"I hesitated for a moment, but Isabel's enthusiasm was intriguing. "Okay, fine. But just for a little while, and don't expect me to do all the work."Isabel squealed in delight. "Yay! I'll be right there. Oh, and Ana?" "Yeah?""Don't try to sneak away. I'll come find you," Isabel warned, and I could a

Massimo’s POV. My office was cold. The air conditioner was already turned on and had lasted for the past one hour. My phone was pressed to my ear as I wrapped up the call. Suddenly, Marco opened the door and whispered. "Massimo, you have a visitor." I raised an eyebrow, annoyed at the interruption. Marco had accompanied me to work today since Rome was still recovering.I quickly ended the call and shook my head in an awkward gesture towards Marco. "What's going on?" I asked, trying to hide my irritation.Marco looked apologetic. "Sorry, boss. But I think this visitor is important. He attended the DLC meeting last year and had a significant impact on our discussions."My curiosity piqued, I leaned back in my chair. "What's so special about him?" I asked.Marco's expression turned serious. "I think you should meet him, boss. He might be able to help us with some... issues we're facing."I nodded, intrigued. "Alright, bring him in."Marco nodded and stepped out of the room. I took a s

Massimo’s POV. I sat behind my desk, my eyes locked on Domenico as I decided on the invitation from the counselor. I needed to know where he stood, whether he was with or against me. "Domenico, I want to make one thing clear," I said, my voice firm. "I need your loyalty. I need to know you're with me on this."Domenico nodded, his expression serious and sour. "Massimo, you know I'm with you. I've always been loyal to the family."I leaned back in my chair, my eyes narrowing. "Good. Because I have reasons to believe that there are those within our organization who would seek to undermine me. And I need to know that I can trust you."Domenico's face remained impassive, but I could see the hint of a question in his eyes. "What do you need to know, Massimo?" he asked.I leaned forward, my elbows on the desk. "I want to know about the recent shipment of drugs from the Mexicans. Have you received the records yet?" I asked. My voice is shrill and determined. I was so desperate for an inv

Ana’s POV.I sat in my room, staring at the fruits Martha had brought me. I usually love snacking on them, but today, I just couldn't seem to have an appetite. I picked up a slice of apple, but it felt heavy in my hand. I tried to take a bite, but the thought of eating made my stomach turn.I put the fruit down and stood up, trying to shake off the feeling. Maybe some fresh air would help. I took a few steps, but my legs felt like jelly. I stumbled, and my hands started shaking. My face felt cold. I looked down at my hands, and they were trembling like leaves.‘What's wrong with me?’I thought. I'm not sick. I'm just stressed, maybe. But why am I feeling like this? I tried to take a few more steps, but my legs wouldn't cooperate. I felt like I was going to collapse.‘Come on Ana, think.’ I muttered to myself, trying to make sense of what was happening. The recent killings and kidnappings had been weighing heavily on my mind. The tension between the Cosa Nostra and the other Mafia gro

Massimo’s POVBeing intrigued by the meeting was my thing. I stood at the bar and tried to adjust the collar of my dress as I heard the phone on the bed ring out loud. I wasn’t hesitant to take the call since I knew what awaited me for the day. “Massimo,” I heard Isabel’s Voice as she called me downstairs. “What is the problem,” I replied as I quickly walked down to the window and peeped through to see the white Mercedes which was parked just in front of the gate. It was so surprising to see the flag and logo of the New York State boldly stamped on the bonnet. “Who the hell is that?” I inquired. Isabel’s voice turned shrill and I could feel the tension in me as she continued. My heart raced right away. “I think it has to be someone from the government house, maybe.” “And maybe that could be Baize, I was just trying to imagine the governor with me in the same room in the meeting and just now I’m seeing his party…” ‘Knock, Knock!’ That was the sound on my door. I tightened the lac

Ana’s POV. I was trying to catch a glimpse of what he was actually trying to do as he raised my legs up. I tried as much as possible to bear the pain from the doggy sex as he lashed so hard.“Come on, what’s happening? You’re not even moaning at all, this ain’t the real you, Ana, something’s wrong somewhere.” “Massimo, you’re the one on me and just take a look at the way you raised my legs. I’m so uncomfortable and from the way I see it, I don’t think you’re ready to reach orgasm anyway.” I replied. My face stern as I laid on the bed and backed him. I felt so frustrated that I was having unprotected sex with him and all he could do was complain that I wasn’t moaning? If he needed to hear a moan maybe he could go on a porn site and have himself full of it. I tried to relax myself and calm my nerves. Nothing more mattered to me than his ejaculation. He exhaled and sighed before spreading my legs angrily. His hands fastened on my left leg as I felt him thrust. He continued and this t

Massimo’s POV. I was in front of the mirror, adjusting my tie as I tried to shake off the feeling of unease that had been lingering inside me. The atmosphere was tense, and I knew I was in for a rough ride soon. But I wasn't one to back down from a challenge. I took a deep breath and focused on getting ready for the day ahead.Just as I was finishing up, Marco walked into my room. His presence was a welcome distraction from the thoughts that had been plaguing me. "Hey, boss," he said, his voice casual. I nodded, and he continued, "I just talked to Anastasya. She's doing well."My interest piqued, I turned to him. "How's your relationship with her been?" I asked, genuinely curious. Marco's expression was neutral, but I could sense a hint of tension beneath the surface. "It's okay," he replied. I wasn't convinced. Marco's tone seemed off, and I couldn't help but wonder what was really going on between him and Anastasya. I nodded, trying to appear nonchalant, but my mind was racing wit

Massimo’s POV I stood on my balcony, sipping my tea and gazing out at the city below. The sun was setting, casting a warm orange glow over the buildings. I felt a sense of calm over me as I breathed in the evening air. Just as I was getting lost in thought, Rome walked and stood beside me."The flowers are ready," he said, his voice low and serious. I nodded, knowing exactly what he was talking about. Those flowers weren't ordinary flowers. They were a part of my business, a means I used to traffic drugs around the country. I didn't have a retail outlet, but a network of people who helped us move our product.I took one last sip of my tea and set the cup down. "I'll be downstairs with them in a minute," I told Rome. He nodded and turned to leave, but not before I caught a glimpse of a smile on his face.As he walked away, I muttered to myself, thinking about all the things I'd been through. The struggles, the fights, the losses. But I'd always come out on top.I built this busines

Massimo’s POV. My eyes scanned the surroundings, and they landed on Vanesa and Marco standing by the garage. My gaze locked onto Vanesa's, and I could see the mix of emotions on her face. But as I took in the scene. The bruise on Marco's cheekbone was a stark reminder of the incident that had taken place. I walked towards them, my strides long and purposeful. Vanesa's face lit up with joy, and she ran towards me, throwing her arms around me in a tight hug. "Massimo!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with emotion. I hugged her back, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. Marco approached us, and we shook hands, his eyes acknowledging the tension between us.As I held Vanesa, I glanced over her shoulder and saw my Ana standing at the door of the building, a smile spreading across her face. "Ana?" I said. My eyes never left my wife's. Vanesa chuckled and stepped aside, allowing my wife to run towards me. She jumped into my arms, and I caught her, spinning her around in a circle. Tear
THE LIES THAT BIND Chapter 78
Vanesa’s POV. I couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt and regret that had been weighing me down since I hit Marco. My pride was swollen, and I didn't want to swallow it. Being so arrogant was my thing though, and I felt maybe that day, it would have to come to an end. I walked around the premises, trying to clear my head, but my feet seemed to have a mind of their own. Before I knew it, I found myself standing in front of the garage, where I knew Marco often took a seat to reminisce.I spotted him sitting on a bench, a cigarette dangling from his fingers. I approached him quietly and my face twisted in a mixture of emotions. I couldn’t walk to him because I felt so guilty and couldn’t do anything at all. All that mattered as I stood behind him was asking for his forgiveness right away and letting down my ego. I was astonished as he asked, "What do you want?" without even turning around.I was taken aback, surprised that he hadn't noticed me standing there. I walked around to his s
