VESPER GREY LYSAN POV

I was exhausted and as I stepped into my room, my legs aching from the climb up the stairs, I started to regret some of my life choices, the first on the list being– getting such a big house in the middle of the woods and making the top floor my bedroom, just because of the balcony that overlooked a beautiful lake.

Letting out a sigh, I hit the light switch then paused as the dark space slowly brightened up.

"I really need to start looking for another house," I muttered, rubbing my neck to ease the tension. "This one is not it at all."

A sudden cool draft brushed against my skin, making me shiver.

Why the hell was it so cold? Was the heater broken again?

I let my bag drop, the soft thud echoing. My gaze swept across the room. And that was when I saw it.

The floor-to-ceiling window leading to the balcony stood wide open, the sheer curtains that should have been still, fluttering inward from the breeze.

I froze, my heart lurching into my lungs and seizing my breat

  • The Mafia's Possession: Every Breath She Takes    Thirty One

    VESPER GREY LYSAN POV I glanced at Zevran, anger making me tremble in my seat.I clenched my fists, my teeth sinking into my lips as I tested the strength of the binding on my wrist. There was no give, and as I twisted my hand to try to loosen it, it just hurt worse. It bit into my skin, tight enough to stop circulation. He'd tied it like he meant to break my bones. Bastard!I huffed, my chest tight as I realized how hopeless my situation was.I thought I had everything planned, so how could it end like this? I'd even pushed aside Cyran's betrayal and managed to salvage the situation by coming up with a solution, so why did this have to happen when I was so close to taking back control?Tears stung my eyes, making them burn. I refused to let them drop.God damn it! I shouldn't have bothered at all.It was glaringly clear now. No matter what I did, I could never escape Zevran as long as he was alive.He had to die. It was the only way for me to be free.He was so cold and calculativ

  • The Mafia's Possession: Every Breath She Takes    Thirty

    ZEVRAN ILVANE POVThe door opened, Vesper standing like a fairytale come to life in the doorway, her eyes so wide in shock as they collided with mine, I could make out the swirls in her mercury gray iris.So, so ethereal. Too bad all I felt right now was rage.Rage that she'd been about to marry another man who wasn't me. Rage that it had taken me this long to find her.It was partly Silvane's fault, and partly my fault for not thinking that he could stab me in the back... He'd spoken to the directors behind my back, and unanimously, they'd voted that I couldn't hurt Cyran or jeopardize VIRELUX, and because of that, I'd spent precious days apart from Vesper, hunting them down and getting them to take back their vote.And since I didn't need enemies within my own organization, I hadn't broken their bones like I first intended, instead, I offered them things I knew they desired, and soon another meeting was held, and my decision stood.Infiltrating the Lysanth group also hadn't been eas

  • The Mafia's Possession: Every Breath She Takes    Twenty nine

    VESPER GREY LYSAN POV "You look so beautiful, Vesper. Cyran is so lucky to have you," the lady helping me with my dress said, her eyes crinkling at the edges as she smiled.I gazed at my reflection in the mirror. Why was everyone always so happy except for me?"Thank you, Nina." "Oh, but you don't need to thank me at all, Miss Vesper, I'm just stating a fact. You're the prettiest bride I've dressed so far.""Really?" I asked, glancing down at my body. She was right, the dress was beautiful. It also looked like it cost a fortune.When had Cyran prepared it, and how did he know my size?"Yes, and I'm actually dying to know the love story between you and Cyran, but you won't say, will you? You both are so secretive," she said, pouting.I forced a smile, shaking my head.She let out a sigh. "Fine! Keep it to yourself. I'm going to find out sooner or later anyway," she said, then glanced around the room. "Oh, let me get you the bouquet," she said and ran off before I could stop her.I

  • The Mafia's Possession: Every Breath She Takes    Twenty eight

    VESPER GREY LYSAN POV Waking up bound up in chains wasn't surprising or unfamiliar. I'd been bound a lot of times. The first time was by my mom, then Ilvane, and then the asylum... and now, it was Cyran.He sat at the edge of my bed, his back straight and rigid. He was shirtless, an almost burned-out cigarette held between his fore and middle finger.Did Cyran smoke, or was this a new habit he'd picked up?I could see his back muscle rippling with tension, his jaw clenching and unclenching as if he was contemplating something horrible.I moved, the chain making noises. He flinched at the sound, but didn't turn to face. The cigarette dropped from his hand.I pulled myself up, then glanced around the room.Everything looked the same. The bag I had packed earlier lay empty on the floor, and when I glanced at the stool beside it, I noticed some files on the table.What could it be? A contract? Was he going to force me to marry him?"Do you really have to go this far?" I asked, my vo

  • The Mafia's Possession: Every Breath She Takes    Twenty seven

    VESPER GREY LYSAN POV I stuffed my bag into the trunk of my car, then glanced back at the house. Cyran stood in front of the door watching me, the look on his face unreadable.Was I making a mistake? Getting revenge on Zevran all on my own would be hard wouldn't it? Especially now that I had nothing.No, Cyran already agreed to let me go. Going back now would just confuse him further. And I've already done that to him a lot of times. I blew out a breath, yanked open the door, and made to get in when my phone rang. It was Selene.Why the hell was she calling all of a sudden? I watched it ring, holding onto my resolve not to answer her call, but as it ended, an idea hit me, the sharp spark of it making my eyes widen.With my heart pounding and my hands trembling, I raised my phone and dialed Selene's number. She answered on the first ring."For a second there, I thought you were really serious about cutting me off, but since you're calling me back like this, does that mean you've cha

  • The Mafia's Possession: Every Breath She Takes    Twenty six

    VESPER GREY LYSAN POV I glanced away from the mirror as Cyran stepped into the room, the dark look on his face making me tense up."What's wrong?" I asked. Did Zevran find us already? It's already been a week of silence, so I wouldn't be surprised."There was a fire at the company."His words hit me like a grenade. I blinked, shaking my head, my brows furrowing. "What do you mean there was a fire at the company" I stood up, my hands clenching into fists. "Is anyone hurt. Was it serious?" I asked, my heart pounding like a sledgehammer.He remained quiet. "Talk to me, damn it!" I yelled, fear and panic clawing at my chest, and making it difficult to breathe.Cyran suddenly took hold of my shoulder. My eyes flew to his, but I couldn't quite make him out. Why the hell was everything getting dim all of a sudden?"Hey! Hey! Hey, breathe. Breathe, Vesper," he yelled, his voice piercing through the ringing in my ear, and that was when I realized I was holding my breath.I let go, blowing o
