The rope slackened and the tension around Isabella's wrists loosened, the fibres sliding away from her skin when Rosa untied the final knot. But Rosa’s gun still stood aimed directly at her heart.

"Get up," Rosa ordered.

Isabella rose slowly, her legs trembling after what felt like hours of restraint. Her knees wobbled as she found her balance, her gaze fixed on the barrel pointed at her.

Isabella’s throat was dry. "Rosa, I really can't do this..."

"Shut up." Rosa stepped closer, her

  • The Crime Lord's Obsession    Chapter 71 - Your mother sent me!

    "I’m… pregnant." Rosa's voice trembled, but her tear-rimmed eyes watched Nikolai hopefully. She expected him to be shocked then rushed forward, cradled her and whispered happily that she had made him the happiest man in the universe... Instead, he stared at her as if she were a stranger speaking a foreign language. Only a cold, unreadable silence as if he hadn't understood what she had just said. "Nikolai, didn't you hear me. I said I'm pregnant!" Imelda stood frozen behind Nikolai, her fingers clutching her apron. She was silently praying that Nikolai wouldn’t fall for this lie. And the way he looked at Rosa now… Yes, he wasn’t swallowing it. Finally, he spoke, his voice cold. "Then," he said quietly, "we will run a test." "What?" Rosa’s smile cracked. "What test?" she asked quickly in disbelief. "Nikolai… you don’t believe me?" "I believe in facts," he replied, stepping past her. "Prepare yourself, we’re going to the doctor, now." Rosa’s heart plummeted and her thr

  • The Crime Lord's Obsession    Chapter 70 - Pregnant

    The gates of the West Villa creaked open, and Nikolai felt a strange shiver crawl down his spine. He hadn’t set foot here since the accident. The villa felt colder than he remembered and the silence was too heavy like he was walking into a life that technically belonged to him, yet felt foreign in every corner. Rosa walked in ahead of him, her heels echoing against the marble tiles. "Finally," she breathed, taking on the serene expensive house. Nikolai's eyes scanned the hallways as fragmented memory crawled up in his head. When he entered his bedroom, he paused. His gaze swept across the neatly arranged space… until it landed in the tall walk-in closet. He pushed the door open, and his brows furrowed together sharply. His suits didn't feel familiar, they were so unlike him. Instead of his usual all black, there were navy ones, deep forest green, and even a white one. A white suit for him, that felt like a joke and he felt something twist inside his chest without knowing why. H

  • The Crime Lord's Obsession    Chapter 69 - Sent to rescue her

    "Understood boss. I'll handle him soon. He hasn't suspected a thing, yet. I'll bring him to you then you can torture him, just like how he did to your son." Isabella's heart hammered so loudly she feared Rosa would hear it. When Rosa’s heels finally faded away down the corridor, she slumped against the wall, sliding down until she was curled on the cold tile floor. "Could she be talking about Nikolai," Isabella thought as a flash of the other night crossed his mind. "But he killed my husband," she whispered and laughed like a maniac. "And you took Nikolai from me, and my crown too, during the gala, so I’ll kill you, then later I'll kill your Nikolai too." Isabella's heart thundered rapidly in her chest as realisation hit her. She stood at the stall, conflicted, her heart screaming at her that she should leave, Nikolai would never warm up to her, but another part of her begged her to stay and protect him from Rosa's evil plan "Oh my god. What is she planning?" she murmured,

  • The Crime Lord's Obsession    Chapter 68- Humiliation

    Isabella lifted her gaze and cursed under her breath. Not again! She was drained to start another drama. Rosa stood in the doorway, smiling like she owned the entire building, dressed in an elegant white dress that clung to her curves, her hair cascading in perfect curls, flawless makeup … and lips curled into a sickeningly sweet smile. Her red lipstick shone brightly in the morning sun and her perfume filled the air as if she had swum in its pool. Her heels clicked as she stepped inside, tilting her head in victory. "Good morning, Isabella," she said sweetly, clasping her purse in both hands like a queen. "Oh… you look drained. Rough night, huh?" She placed a perfectly manicured hand on the back of one of the chairs and leaned forward, her voice dripping honeyed poison. Isabella forced herself to stand and forced her lips into a polite shape. "Yes, Miss Rosa, this floor is only for the executive, it's out of bounds," she whispered. "Can I help you with anything?" Rosa smil

  • The Crime Lord's Obsession    chapter 67- Harassing her

    The next morning, the office felt colder than usual. Isabella could feel it the moment she stepped out of the elevator. She hadn’t slept a wink last night, and her eyes burned from the night she spent crying, staring at her ceiling like it held answers to her problems. She held her handbag and wore a long-sleeved blouse to hide the chain marks on her hand. Her fingers trembled as she reached for her office door, but before she could twist the doorknob... "Isabella," a voice called her out, nearly making her jump. She had arrived earlier in the office and hadn't expected to find anyone in. Staying at home wasn't making it any easier for her, and she couldn't even sleep. She froze at the ice in his voice before slowly turning, almost too slowly, to find Nikolai standing in his doorway, his face unreadable and his eyes sharp and ice-cold. She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, trying to look composed even as her throat tightened in fear. "Yes… Sir?" her voice was barely ab

  • The Crime Lord's Obsession    Chapter 66- I believe you

    Rosa sat on the edge of the hospital bed, her shoulders trembling, as the doctor tended to her wound. Nikolai sat beside her, holding her other hand trying to calm her down. "Nikolai…" she whispered, leaning into him, clutching his shirt, letting her tears soak into the fabric. "Thank you," she whispered. "Thank you for saving me today. I don't know what would have happened if you didn't show up on time." Nikolai held her quietly, a strange heaviness settling in his chest because even as Rosa cried against his chest, Isabella’s face kept flashing across in his mind. Deep down he could feel this strange feeling that settled in his chest that something wasn't right, only that he couldn’t name it. Rosa glanced up at him, her face tear-stained. "Nikolai…" she choked out, reaching for his sleeve with trembling fingers. "You have to take justice for me. Isabella… she wanted to kill me," she whispered, eyes wide with terror. "Because she knows I’m your wife, but she wants you." Rosa swa

  • The Crime Lord's Obsession    Chapter 64- An order to quit

    Cold. That was the first thing Isabella felt. The cold, damp walls of the basement made Isabella shiver as she struggled against the restraints digging into her wrists. Her ankles were bound too, tight enough that every small movement scraped her skin raw. The floor was hard beneath her, smelling

  • The Crime Lord's Obsession    Chapter 63- Kidnapped

    Rosa stared at her reflection, lifting her chin slightly as she applied the final stroke of lipstick. She brushed a hand over her styled red-brown natural hair, smoothing it carefully. Nikolai had promised he would come home early tonight after coming home late last night. Everything was going on

  • The Crime Lord's Obsession    Chapter 62- Test

    Isabella woke with a start, her neck ached, her cheek was pressed against the hard surface of her desk, and her fingers were still curled around a pen that had long stopped moving. She blinked herself awake, confusion fogging her mind. What time…? Her eyes darted to the small clock on the wall.

  • The Crime Lord's Obsession    Chapter 61- Mountain of work

    Isabella had barely placed her bag beside her new desk when she heard Nikolai’s voice through the glass office door. "Roman," he said sharply, "bring me the quarterly financial reports, the investor summary, and the security overhaul plan. All of it." Roman sighed loudly. "Sir that’s..." "An
