Adrian's Pov

"Boss, are you sure about this?" Marcus questioned when I stepped into the conference room. His arms were crossed.

"I'm never sure about anything, especially that which involves humans and that's why I pay them." I nodded a greeting to the lawyers already seated and sat across from them. They were three lawyers with serious faces. None of them smiled.

Mr. Harrington, the lead lawyer, cleared his throat. Everything about him was grey. He had been with the firm for thirty

    Chapter 48Eva's Pov"What are you doing here? You aren't supposed to be here." "Whose child is this?" I managed to mutter."Why's a child here?" But the men didn't give me a response. They acted like they couldn't hear any word I asked. The child, a young boy no more than eleven, just stared at me. He took some steps closer, and the way he stared at me sent fear through me."Hey," I struggled despite my bruises and brought my face closer to him."Did they hurt you? These big bad men? Are you looking for your parents? I can hel…" I couldn't even finish my statement when I felt a smack across my face. Blood left my mouth and in that moment, if I was told that I had lost a tooth, I would believe it.I raised my head slowly and the little boy had a sly smile on his face. He had slapped me. Before I could think about anything, he burst out laughing and the big guys behind him followed suit. Mocking."I'm going to help you get to your parents…" one of the guys said in a chipmunk voice, mo

    Chapter 47Eva's PovI opened my eyes slowly. Where was I? I prayed and hoped not to be in the damn room that had almost taken my life. I prayed I was safe. The feeling of inhaling gas wasn't one I wished on an enemy either. It was hell.The first thing that got to me now was the fresh air. I breathed so fast, my head hurt badly, but suddenly the fresh air stopped and it was replaced by the smell of damp wood and mold, accompanied by something rotting or not. I couldn't tell anymore.I opened my eyes fully and felt the pain. My wrists burned. I looked down slowly, and I was tied with a thick rope. It was cutting into my skin. I pulled, but the pain increased and the rope didn't budge. Even my ankles hurt. I was tied to an old wooden chair.Fucking hell? Where am I? Who brought me here? I had passed out at the lake house, so how was I here? That I couldn't tell?My head throbbed. The gas leak, the masked people, that voice that felt familiar through the mask, but I couldn't remember, a

    Chapter 46Adrian's PovVictor stared at me. With hands in his pockets, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth."Hello, Adrian. Brother, it's been a while and boy, you look tense." I signalled Marcus who excused us immediately."Victor." I didn't offer him a seat, but he took one anyway."The president tells me you're cozying up to Volkov. How true is that?""The president sure does tell you a lot of things." Victor walked past me, trailing his finger along the edge of my desk. "Some of them are even true." I raised my head at him now."My girl. Eva, what have you been doing with her?" A smirk appeared on his lips. He turned to fully face me now."Being there for those who genuinely need help and giving them jobs. It doesn't mean a bad thing, right?""Cut the shit." I stood up now to face him. "What do you want?"He stopped too and turned. His eyes were dark."I want what I've always wanted. Success, power and respect in our world.""Then why are you meeting with my enemies?""Be

They were three lawyers with serious faces. None of them smiled.Mr. Harrington, the lead lawyer, cleared his throat. Everything about him was grey. He had been with the firm for thirty years, which meant he had seen enough to know what happened to people who disappointed me."Mr. Moretti, welcome sir." He got up and shook my hand. I took his hands. And after the pleasantries, brought out a lollipop Eva had gotten from groceries shopping yesterday. I put it into my mouth and saw the look of surprise on their faces. But I ignored it."Your mother doesn't want to go easy on you and your affidavit has been filed with the court. She is also requesting a public hearing." I nodded. I

  • The Mafia's Forbidden Obsession    44. Bye Bye Sister. One of us is going six feet down.

    Chapter 44Elena's PovMarcus had let me take a walk, after the doctor suggested it. It's been five days now and I've been locked up in here, like I was some prisoner. Finally, I was alone and headed to the location Elliot had sent. It was a small cold room. I sat on a single hard chair in the room, my back pressed against the wall and breathing… It was really difficult trying to breathe in here.But I didn't mind. I was used to discomfort, it was my second name. I had never had anything easy for me.Finally after hours of waiting, the door opened and Elliot walked in, he was smiling and that was never a good sign. I got up immediately to meet his face. He had promised to bring my daughter. "Where is she?" I muttered slowly. "My daughter, you promised to come with her, for me to see her just once, at least." I pushed down the sob. I didn't want him to hit me. He hated sobs."Are you crying?" I shook my head immediately, the sins of my past were catching up with me in the form of thi

    Chapter 43Eva's PovI woke up with the sun on my face. The light spilled through the curtains like liquid gold. I blinked twice and the bed lamp was the first thing I saw. My body felt like it had been taken apart and put back together.A smile tugged at my lips before I could stop it.The incident from last night flashed in my mind. From the kitchen counter, to the bedroom, his bathtub and then his mouth. My face was flushed with embarrassment.I stretched. My muscles ached in the most delicious way. I turned my head to the side, ready to meet his eyes and whisper good morning in that sleepy voice that always made him pull me closer.But the pillow was empty. He wasn't there. I sat up fast, my heart stumbling.The room was still, but his scent was everywhere. My eyes scanned the room. His clothes from last night were gone. His phone wasn't on the nightstand. Only mine remained, face-down.Where is he?A knot formed in my stomach. I couldn't tell why I felt this way. This was his hou
