Nikolai drove silently through the night to the shore. He took his personal jet for a flight across the island to a nightclub in the nearest city. He ordered several bottles of whiskey and sat alone in the velvet booth at the far end of the room. A half-empty glass of whiskey rested in front of him. He had come here to think of the next move after the interrogation had failed. This club had been his company for the last five years after his world fell apart. He had very many unanswered questions about the attack that had his head spinning.

The whiskey burned as it slid down his throat numbing all the thoughts running around in his head. He poured another glass and downed it without hesitation.

He leaned back, running a hand across his jaw, his eyes unfocused as the crowd blurred into the distance.

He poured another glass and downed it. Then another, until eventually he picked up the whole bottle and downed them until at last the faces around him began to lose shape, and mouths

    Warning: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS VIOLENCE "Sir, the man we captured is tied up in the upper warehouse. Would you like to interrogate him?" Roman said, standing at the door of Nikolai’s office. Nikolai glanced up, his expression unreadable. "You didn’t knock." Roman smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head. "I’m very sorry, sir," he said, bowing slightly. "You can leave now," Nikolai replied, waving him off dismissively. "I’ll interrogate him myself." With that, Nikolai once more sank on the tall stack of documents before him. He worked silently reviewing and signing them. When he reached the halfway mark, he finally leaned back, stretching out, then checked his watch. Satisfied, he rose from his chair, dusted off his jacket, and strode toward the door. Roman, who had been waiting silently behind the closed door, straightened as Nikolai emerged. Without a word, he followed him down to the car park. Reaching the posh car, he opened the door for Nikolai with a respe

    Nikolai's pov "Sir, Imelda just called. She says young miss is sick and hasn't eaten anything since morning," Roman whispered to my ear. I could feel my body tense up and the grip on my tightened for a moment. Without another word, I stood, my chair sliding back. I tucked the gun away, eyes sweeping across the table one last time. "This meeting is over," I declared. "Roman, prepare the plane. We leave immediately." I swear I could feel everyone staring at me in confusion. "Where the hell do you think you're going?" My dad's voice rose, laced with anger. I didn't answer, instead, I threw my files over to Roman. My dad stood up angrily, "Nikolai! This is the most important meeting of the year. You don't just stand up and walk away from this table! How dare you be disrespectful!" I didn’t even spare him a glance, I straightened my jacket and turned around for the door. My dad slammed his glass on the table. "You are the don, but you walk out of the table? Are you out of you

    The storm outside had finally receded. Allesandro sat at his long mahogany table, a mug of hot coffee steaming before him. Several untouched files stood before him. He glanced at them but didn't touch any. He had a lot going on in his head Vivienne Brown pushed open the door without knocking, her eyes red in anger. Her heels clicked against the marble, her silk blouse still damp at the shoulders from the rain outside. Alessandro didn’t lift his head immediately, only when she stood directly in front of his desk did he stop writing. "You didn’t knock," he said flatly, setting the pen down. "You haven't been home ever since our daughter left. How do you expect me to reach out to her?" Vivienne’s voice rang glaringly at him. Large eye bags from the many sleepless nights she had had were evident in her eyes. Alessandro leaned back in his leather chair, steepling his fingers together. "Isabella isn't here so we don't have to play a happy couple anymore. About our daughter, I told

    The island stood silent, only the waves crashing softly against the rocky cliffs at a distance could be heard. The marble floors were cold beneath Isabella’s bare feet as she descended the grand staircase. The fever that had burned through her body the previous night had receded, but she was still weak. Her head still ached faintly. Her limbs felt heavy, but it wasn’t the illness that pressed her forward, it was hunger. She hadn’t taken a bite all day and her stomach had been growling nonstop. It was a few minutes past seven when she arrived in the dining room. The long dining table was set, all the sumptuous mouthwatering meals inviting her to dig in Isabella walked blindly toward her seat, dragging her body forward, her steps slow and tired. And then... "You’re three minutes and ten seconds late again." The voice came from the farthest corner of the room, deep and smooth. Isabella froze in her tracks. Her heart skipped a beat, her hands trembling at her sides. Slowly,

  • The Crime Lord's Obsession    Chapter 7.

    Tuscany, Italy. At a grand villa in a secretly hidden chamber, the heavy scent of expensive cigars filled the air. The light was dimmed, spilling from antique chandeliers, and the walls were lined with books and oil paintings. Men in dark suits sat stiffly on the long mahogany table at the centre of the room. Crystal glasses filled with whiskey rested in front of them, but nobody dared to take a sip. This was no ordinary meeting, it was the annual gathering of the most powerful European mafia leaders, held within the fortified estate of Mr Sergei Volkov, once the king of the underground empire. At the head of the table sat Nikolai Volkov. Dressed in a black tailored suit that hugged his broad frame. He exuded a deadly calm. His normally piercing blue eyes were unusually dark tonight, filled with something dangerous. To his left, was his godfather, Mr Sergei. Even though Sergei no longer sat on the throne, his presence still commanded fear and respect. One of the bosses, a sli
