Chapter 51

En route, the car stopped. The engine died, but it was a saving grace to me. This was my opportunity to escape Victor. I didn't have any option anymore. I'd rather be in the woods than be with him.

Before I could brace myself, something slammed into the side of the SUV. Metal screeched.

"Shit," I cried, as my stomach jammed against the car seat. I looked back. The second vehicle had rolled to a stop, its front tire blown. A guard stumbled out, clutching his arm.

Then the third car. T

  • The Mafia's Forbidden Obsession    52. Forty-Seven

    Chapter 52Eva's PovI bolted toward the door once she said those words. No. I couldn't stay here. Not one more minute, or one more breath. I didn't mind leaving with Victor, doing his bidding, but not here.I moved fast despite the bandage pulling at my stomach.Christy, she didn't even notice me leaving. One second she had just finished speaking to me and the next second her eyes were closed, and her lips were moving like she was praying or counting. Whatever it was, I couldn't tell.I reached for the door and turned the handle.It opened, thank goodness. Outside, the hallway was empty. I had expected to see Victor and the doctor. It hadn't even been thirty seconds since they left the room. I wanted to beg him not to leave without me. But he wasn't there. My mind went back to the dead girls, killed brutally. "Hey, you shouldn't be out there."Christy's voice suddenly called from inside. How had I forgotten about her existence so fast? Without thinking, I turned the lock from outsid

I looked back. The second vehicle had rolled to a stop, its front tire blown. A guard stumbled out, clutching his arm.Then the third car. The same thing."What's happening?" I whispered.The door opened. Cold air rushed in. It smelled like pine."We're here," Victor said. I forced a smile at him. To survive, I had to step up and play along.I stepped out. My legs nearly gave way. One of the men caught my arm, steadied me, then let go like I was contaminated. I huffed and turned to run.A hand grabbed my wrist. Hard."Going somewhere?" The guard's voice was low. His grip was strong.I froze. Slowly, I felt Victor's stare burn into t

  • The Mafia's Forbidden Obsession    50. New home, New beginnings.

    Chapter 50Eva's Pov I had never imagined a day would come and I would have to choose between Adrian and someone else. I couldn't even live my usual life anymore.I closed my eyes, trying to push back the tears, but they came anyway."So you see," Victor continued, "running back to him isn't an option. Even if you wanted to. Which you don't."My eyes snapped open. "I never said I didn't want to.""Your mother said otherwise." He tilted his head. "She told me you promised to leave him. To never see him again." I looked at him now."You know my captors and the people holding my mum hostage?" He just shrugged and looked away."I sure do. It's a small world and I have boys. You should know, they're always watching you. If you want your mum safe, you have to listen to them. I can't help out again. I only interfered once and saved your life. I promised to be your guardian." I didn't say another word. My heart was breaking, but I swallowed it."Was she lying? Would you go back to Adrian?""

  • The Mafia's Forbidden Obsession    49: Leaving the Love of Her life

    Chapter 49 Eva's PovThe beeping woke me first. It was steady and somewhere above my head, to the left. I couldn't turn my neck to see it. My body was concrete.And the smell was a mixture of antiseptic, latex, and bleach. Then I knew I was in a hospital. I forced my eyes open. My throat was like sandpaper. My body felt like I had just left a desert, and my stomach… suddenly the memory hit me like a fist.The stab, my mother crying, and the yellow crooked teeth man muttering, "No loose ends." The blood pulsing between my fingers. My mother… was she safe? The gunshot? A body dropped. Who was it? I couldn't remember. But my mother—I needed her and desperately hoped she was fine.I tried to sit up, but pain ripped through my abdomen. I gasped and fell back against the pillows. My hands flew to my stomach. It was wrapped with bandages. Thick layers of them, wrapped tight around my waist.I was in a hospital, but where am I? They had spoken of flying me out of the continent to another tha

    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

  • The Mafia's Forbidden Obsession    47. Eva is Taken

    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
