The Mafia Kings Want their Woman Back

Alicia's POVI couldn't help the groan that left my lips at the words that Daya said to me.“Daya, not this! I can’t go out with you this time,” I tried to decline her invitation, or rather, pressure to spend another night clubbing. To my luck it was a weekend. But it didn’t change the fact that I wasn’t interested. “Oh, don’t complain about it! Come on, Alicia! You saw how fun the club was, didn't you? I thought you would have gotten a taste for it,” Daya’s golden blonde hair bounced as she curled her strands expertly with the curling iron. “Besides, I’m broken-hearted, Alicia. Jimmy broke up with me yesterday and you didn’t even try to comfort me. Don’t be so horrible to your friend. Aren’t we friends?” ‘Against my better judgement,’ I wanted to respond, but chose to only nod. To be fair, though, Jimmy likely found out he wasn’t the only one she was dating and reacted badly to the ‘surprising’ revelation.Knowing her, it wasn't a secret that she tended to shop around for the perfec

Alicia's POV The whole way to work, I trembled, but managed to keep a straight face. My vacant state thankfully hidden behind my glasses, and my typical ‘mousy’ look on like an armor, I pushed forward and looked forward to the time I could enter my office and lay my head on the desk.Then I let out a long tired sigh and closed my eyes briefly. This peace was fleeting but I craved it.Just for a few seconds before work started. That would be some goddamned reprieve from all the turbulent emotions I felt. Unfortunately it wasn’t to be so, for as soon as I sat behind my desk, the door suddenly flung open, and a telltale scent of designer perfume filled the air. “Alicia, guess what!” Daya was grinning from ear to ear, not noticing the look of frustration and exasperation on my face. She was so loud. Would I be a bad friend if I told her to pipe down at least a little this morning?I winced as she continued, willfully blind to my state. “I know you went home early last night , so you m

Alicia's POV:My breaths came out shallowly and echoed in the empty metal cell. I had already begun to smell a staleness in the air and it made me feel so dirty. No one had come, and I didn’t even know whether it had been a day or a couple of hours. Time was hard to tell when one couldn’t see the sun after all.“Why is this happening to me?” I murmured to myself, curled up in a fetal position. I laid my head against the wall next to the door, praying for someone, anyone to come. At some point I thought I might have heard footsteps, but I wasn’t sure.Suddenly I heard a loud sound of metal creaking and it made me jolt to a standing position, wide eyed at the door where I could have sworn the sound came from.What was going on? My hope surged once more as I realized it must be someone.“Help,” my voice was hoarse as my throat was dry. “Please…”As soon as I had said that the door swung open and I winced at the sound of the creaking door. I noticed it was a burly man that walked in, lo

Acker's POV:The air was filled with a scent of lemon, a strange choice for a car scent but I wasn't going to complain as long as it didn't disturb me.Acker's POV:The air was filled with a scent of lemon, a strange choice for a car scent but I wasn't going to complain as long as it didn't disturb me.But my focus wasn’t on the car or how comfortable the leather seats were. My focus was on her - Alicia Stevens. The girl I had taken to bed that night after I had returned to the US to check on my investments.If I had known she was that special I would never have removed my eyes from her even for a second.I listened to the sounds of her presence beside me.She was quiet. Too quiet, for my liking.I removed my eyes from the phone where I was exchanging messages with Mikael, who was in the car behind mine, and Javier, my right hand man. Both separate conversations but with similar topics at hand. Alicia was staring out the window, through the tinted black glass to the landscape outside.

Alicia’s POVBefore anything else could happen, there was the distinct sound of a vibrating phone. Acker immediately tensed and raised a hand to stop me from speaking and I found I couldn’t disobey.He brought out his phone from his pocket and answered the incoming call.“Javier,” his tone was terse and I wondered what was being said on the other end as his expression morphed from stoic to pleased. “Good. We were expecting him. Let him through.”My brows furrowed as he exchanged a wordless glance with Mikael. The two men seemed to be having a conversation without having to say anything, and Mikael’s expression also bore satisfaction, his lips quirked up in a tiny little smirk that made his face look just a little bit more handsome.I looked away, wondering what they were so pleased about. This couldn’t be anything good, could it?“Well look at the time,” Mikael’s spoke as Acker ended the call. “You have a visitor, tesoro.”“A visitor?” I couldn’t help the disbelief in my voice. Who wo
