Ava's heart hammered in the sudden quiet. The waltz had ended, but Damian's stare was deafening.

She gave Jack a curt, dismissive nod—a performance for Damian's benefit—and turned.

Her voice was steady as she passed Damian, close enough to feel the cold fury radiating from his body.

"I need some air."

She didn't wait for a response. She walked with purpose toward the grand archway leading to the east wing corridors, her destination no longer the balcony, but anywhere that was not under his immediate, crushing gaze.

Every step felt like walking through a minefield of his fury.

The corridor was a sudden shift from the ballroom's warmth. It was cooler here, the polished marble floors reflecting the muted light from elegant wall sconces.

The noise of the reception faded to a distant, muffled hum. The air smelled of floor polish and chilled air conditioning, clean and sterile.

  • The Mafia's Captive Doctor   Chapter 43: "Every secret you whispered"

    Time: Saturday, December 7, 2024 | Late Evening Location: The Pantheon Penthouse, The Olympus CasinoThe silent ride back to the penthouse was a suffocating ordeal.The armored SUV glided through the Vegas night, the city's glittering lights blurring into meaningless streaks of color against the thick, bulletproof glass.Inside, the air was heavy with unspoken fury. It smelled only of expensive leather and the chilling scent of Damian's contained rage.Ava sat pressed against the far door, every muscle in her body coiled tight. Damian was a statue of coiled violence beside her, his gaze fixed on the road ahead, his jaw a hard, unforgiving line.He hadn't looked at her since they left the reception.He hadn't spoken a single word. The silence was louder than any accusation.The private elevator's ascent was soundless, a smooth, swift climb that felt like a descent into the depths. The faint chime as it arrived at the penthouse sounded like a death knell in the quiet.The doors slid ope

  • The Mafia's Captive Doctor   Chapter 42: "This is a war you can't win"

    Time: Saturday, December 7, 2024 | Evening Location: The Bellagio Hotel & Casino, East Wing BalconyAva stood before the mirror in the men's restroom, her reflection a stranger she was just beginning to recognize.The woman staring back had a wildness in her eyes, angry redness on her neck where Damian had marked her, and a defiant set to her jaw that was entirely new.Her hands, still trembling with the aftershocks of adrenaline and forced pleasure, fumbled with the broken clasp at the back of her dress.It was useless. The delicate metal hook was torn from the thread, a casualty of his rage.With a steadying breath, she abandoned the effort. She pulled a section of her dark hair over her shoulder, a curtain to hide the damage.It was a temporary fix at best. She looked one last time at the woman in the mirror—disheveled but unbroken—and walked out.She moved with purpose, heading not back to the ballroom, but down the marble-lined corridor toward the east wing.She needed air. She n

  • The Mafia's Captive Doctor   Chapter 40: "This will get you killed"

    Time: Saturday, December 7, 2024 | Evening Location: The Elysian Charter Reception, The Bellagio Hotel & CasinoThe ballroom buzzed with predatory energy.Expensive perfume couldn't mask the scent of ambition.A string quartet played in the corner, their melancholy notes drifting through conversations that could topple governments.Damian's hand rested on the small of Ava's back, a firm, immovable brand of ownership.Her severe black gown, a high-necked suit of armor, felt useless against the weight of a hundred calculating stares. The diamond collar at her throat caught the chandelier light.He leaned in, his breath warm against her ear."Tonight, you are not a captive. You are a queen."His voice held quiet command."They will test you. Do not fail."Before she could process the weight of his words, a new presence glided into their orbit.Katya Volkova materialized at their side, a vision in emerald green silk that clung to her frame like a second skin. On her arm was a man Ava had

  • The Mafia's Captive Doctor   Chapter 39: "Think like a survivor"

    Time: Wednesday, December 4 – Friday, December 6, 2024 Location: The Pantheon Penthouse, "The Sanctum" (Private Training Room)The air in the Sanctum was cold. It smelled of clean rubber mats and the faint, metallic tang of oiled steel.Ava stood in the center of the room, a black tank top and leggings her only armor. She faced Mikhail. He was a statue carved from shadow and lethal potential.Near the wall of antique blades, Damian watched, his arms crossed over his chest. His presence was a silent, heavy pressure."Watch," Mikhail said. His voice was flat, devoid of emotion.He moved.It wasn't a demonstration. It was a disappearance.He flowed around an imaginary opponent, one hand blurring to seize a wrist, the other striking a nerve cluster at the neck.The motion was over in less than a second. It was fluid, beautiful, and utterly inhuman."Your turn," Mikhail instructed. His tone held no encouragement, only the expectation of obedience.Ava tried to mimic the first part of the m

  • The Mafia's Captive Doctor   Chapter 38: "It only bred poison"

    Time: Tuesday, December 3, 2024 | Late Morning Location: Private Secure Ward, Volkov Family Hospital, Las VegasThe air in the private hospital ward was cold, sterile, smelling of antiseptic and ozone.Bright, clinical light glared off the white walls and polished chrome, a harsh and unforgiving stage for the family drama already in progress.Damian entered.The heavy door clicked shut behind him with a sound of cold finality. He was a dark slash of tailored black against the stark white room, a predator entering the cage.He took in the scene in a single, sweeping glance.Alexei, frail but radiating a cold fury, sat in a visitor's chair. Katya stood near the window, a vision of untouchable elegance in a severe black dress, watching the proceedings with placid interest.And Marcus.His uncle lay in the hospital bed, his arms encased in pristine white casts, looking pathetic and diminished. The arrogant corporate shark was gone, replaced by a broken, whining thing.Alexei’s voice, rasp
