The Mafia's Contract Chapter 76
Viktor arrived at exactly the right time.He came in through the back entrance the way men like him always did - not because they were afraid, but because they liked the idea of arriving unannounced.He was tall, pale, with silver hair and cold grey eyes that moved around the room before he had taken three steps.Viktor Kasarov. He was one of the most discreet arms suppliers operating between Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean. He didn't advertise. He didn't negotiate over phone lines. He met in person, always in neutral cities, always in places that didn't keep records. His inventory was exceptional. His prices were high. His patience was limited.He slid into the booth across from me, extending his hand.I shook it."Stonewood," he said."Viktor." I nodded toward the bottle. "Drink?""I don't drink during business." He folded his hands on the table. "I appreciate the gesture."Santi had already placed the documents between us - A proposed order.Viktor looked at it for a few secon
The Mafia's Contract Chapter 75
DERRICK’S POVThe bar I came to was the kind of place that didn't exist on any map.There was no sign above the door, no name on the window. It had just a heavy black door hidden at the side of a building in downtown Milan, guarded by men who didn't smile and didn't ask questions.Inside, the lighting was low and amber. Jazz played from somewhere in the back. The whiskey here cost more than most men made in a week, and the people who sat in the leather booths knew things that could start wars.I fit right in.I sat at the far end of the private lounge with my back to the wall the way I always preferred it.It was an old habit. You never let anyone get behind you.The booth was large enough to fit six people, but tonight it was just the three of us - me, Santi, and Ace - and a half-empty bottle of Macallan 25 that I had been working through since we landed.The glass in my hand was cold. I turned it slowly, watching the amber liquid catch the light.I wasn't drunk. I didn't get drunk.

JOAN’S POVBea sat back down, still fuming. "Who does she think she is? Talking to people like that."I sighed and reached over to squeeze her hand. "It's okay, Bea. That's just how Sarah is. Don't let her get to you."Bea shook her head. "She's rude. I don't like her.""I don't either," I admitted. "But there's nothing I can do about it. Let's just focus on the wedding, okay?"Bea nodded, but I could tell she was still upset. She took a deep breath and forced a smile. "Okay, fine. Let's keep going."We were in the middle of looking at flower arrangements when there was a knock on the door. I looked up to see Santi standing in the doorway. He had his usual stoic expression on his face."Miss Joan," he said in his deep, calm voice. "Sir Derrick asked me to inform you that he will call you later this evening."My heart skipped a beat. Derrick wanted to talk to me?I swallowed hard and nodded. "Okay. Thank you, Santi."Santi nodded and turned to leave, but before he could, Bea let out a
The Mafia's Contract Chapter 73
JOAN’S POVI woke up that morning feeling like something inside me had shattered into a million pieces.My eyes opened slowly, and for a few seconds, I just stared at the ceiling. I turned my head to look at the clock on the nightstand. It was 7:23 AM. I had barely slept three hours.How could I sleep after what happened last night?My chest tightened as the memories came flooding back. I remembered everything - Derrick's office. His cold, commanding voice. The way he had touched me, controlled me, made me feel things I didn't want to feel. The way he had dismissed me afterward like I was nothing, like I meant nothing.I squeezed my eyes shut and pulled the blanket over my head, trying to block it all out. But it was useless. Every single detail was burned into my mind. I could still smell his cologne. I still remembered the feel of his hands on my skin, the sound of his breathing, the look in his eyes when he dismissed me. I felt my stomach twist with shame.I had stood there and
The Mafia's Contract Chapter 72
JOAN’S POVAfter dinner, I went straight to my room. I was exhausted. Dinner was a rollercoaster and all I wanted to do was crawl into my bed and sleep.However, that wasn’t possible. Because all of a sudden, there was a knock on my door.I groaned “Who is it?”“It’s me” Emily’s voice came from outside “It’s Sir Derrick. He wants to see you”At the mention of Derrick’s name, a chill ran down my spine. He said we were going to have a talk after dinner. I didn’t think he was serious about it.I walked out of the room and made my way down the hallway till I got to his office. When I got there, I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.“Come in” his deep voice said.I opened the door. There, I saw Derrick leaning against the table, smoking a cigar. His sleeves were rolled up, showcasing some of the tattoos on his forearm. His collar was open. His tie was loose. Smoke curled up in the air around him. The sight of him made my breath hitch.“You wanted to see me” I said.“What was that?”
The Mafia's Contract Chapter 71
JOAN’S POVThe dining hall was filled with the sounds of voices and the clinking of silverware.Every sound seemed louder than usual to me. Maybe it was because Derrick was sitting right beside me or maybe it was because his hand raised up my skirt.I swallowed hard. What the hell was he doing?His touch was like fire against my skin. His touch alone made goosebumps rise on my skin.I could feel his warmth radiating through me. The feeling sent heat down to my core. It was ridiculous how easily my body reacted to him. One tiny movement from him and I went rigid, pretending to focus on my plate while my mind was somewhere else entirely.I was trying to look composed, passing plates, giving instructions to the maids quietly whenever needed. Emily and Sarah were helping me serve while Ms. Sullivan stood at the far end, making sure everything went smoothly.“Sarah,” I murmured softly, leaning close, “we need more dessert plates for the next course. Could you-”Sarah turned to me with that

JOAN’S POVPeople talk as the remaining courses are served. My nerves buzz under my skin. Why? Because I can feel Derrick’s eyes on me as I walk around, making sure everything is okay. I pretend not to notice but I do.I move around the table, making sure everyone has what they need. Still, my awa

JOAN’S POVDinners in this household were always tense. Tonight was no different.Derrick sat beside me, cold and stiff. His shoulders were squared as if the very act of sharing the same chair space as me was some sort of punishment. His jaw was tight, clenched. I pretended not to notice, but I did

JOAN’S POVThe mansion always felt too big, too quiet… too cold.I clutched the file in my hands, one of the many I’d been asked to review—wedding logistics, estate staff reports, updates on the interior renovations—but really, it was just an excuse. Another excuse. One of the many I’d been making

DERRICK’S POVThe car was filled with an unbearable tension. I could feel it pressing down on me, suffocating me. Joan sat beside me in the backseat. She didn’t look bothered about me at all. Instead, her eyes were fixed on the darkened city outside the window.She acted like everything was normal,
