The Mafia’s Price:Bound By Debt Chapter 55
Elena's POV“What's happening here?” I asked, ignoring Selene’s previous question as my eyes darted between Selene and Dominic, laying so still it almost felt like he was a log of wood.“What are you doing to him? Why is he—” I didn’t finish my next question before Selene jumped to her feet and rushed to me, using her hand to cover my mouth so I wouldn’t keep talking.“Shhhh,” she said, turning to Dominic, seeing that he only grunts a bit and then continues to sleep. She exhaled in relief and faced me with her earlier cold expression.“I asked you, why did you come inside?” she said, but her tone was low and stern as well.“Why wouldn’t I? I was very curious. I didn’t understand what you meant by your statement and again, you didn’t come out, so I didn’t know what to do and I couldn’t keep waiting outside,” I replied, also keeping my voice low.“Well, the best thing for you to have done is to go back to your room and wait till Dominic has decided to go to his office or somewhere you c

Elena POVIn that subtle moment, everything felt paused to me, like a movie. I didn't think a single thought ran through my mind before I rushed over to the side of Dominic's bed, kneeling on the ground as I felt my worry spike within me.“Dominic!” I said, my worry now very evident on my face as my eyes still remained locked on his wounded arm.I gently grabbed his arm and examined it. To me, it seemed that the wound, which was already wrapped before, had reopened again, and that was because there were two shades of blood, with one darker than the other. It must have been from when he stood up abruptly from the bed and told Selene to leave, I think.“What happened to you while you were away? How did you get this wound?” I asked, hungry for answers. But then, seconds passed and I didn't get any answers to my questions.Dominic just sat there silently. He wasn't looking at his wound or at my hand, which I used to apply pressure on the wound so that the bleeding would slow down. To me,

Elena POVThe first kiss was totally unexpected. And even after it, I didn't know what I was going to expect from Dominic or even myself. There were too many emotions involved for me to make the right call on the particular reaction I was going to make. Or Dominic was going to make either.But then he does this—an unexpected after a previous unexpected.This kiss wasn't as soft as the previous one. This time, I could feel there was more intention and desire behind it.This time, it was more raw and passionate and I could even say clumsy. I had closed my eyes, feeling just sizzles in my body while his tongue searched around in my mouth.And in this moment, my body surprised me the most because it wasn't doing anything I thought it was supposed to do. That is, kick against it, stop him from tasting me, and get angry even.We continued to kiss for a minute before he finally dislodged his lips from mine, and I was surprised by how I was trying to catch my breath. I felt as if fire had bee

Dominic POV "Ulterior motives eh?" I repeated and Selene nodded twice. “That's what I believe." selene affirmed. “She’s probably pushing your buttons, trying to get on your soft side so when you don't notice, she'll do what she's planning internally. What she harbors in mind." "Hmph," I said thinking, and Selene smiled.She probably thought in her head that if I gave her an inch, she was going to go a mile and keep adding fuel to fire so, Elena wouldn't be in my favour, but then, the conversation that seemed to be going North in her favour went south very fast. "What do you take me for?" I asked and Selene was caught off guard by the question."Uhm, what do you mean by that, Dominic?" She asked, genuinely confused. "Exactly what I said. What do you take me for?" I repeated, facing her and my expression had become grim and cold and Selene gulped nervously but she still stood her ground thinking of a way she could regain control of the conversation. If

Dominic POVI reached the car outside and I saw James already waiting there for me. “Boss.” He acknowledged my presence before we both entered the car.Once inside, the driver started the car and we were on our way. I also noticed another car with my men following us from behind. “Back up?” I asked.“Yes boss.” James responded and I nodded in approval.James turned to me afterwards and said. “I'm sorry for calling you out like this to tell you the news. I'm aware you’ve not fully recovered, but I didn't have much of a choice since we haven't still been able to identify who the spy is and I wouldn't want him or her listening in on our conversations.” “It's okay, I understand your actions. Now, what else did you want to tell me?” I asked and James kept a stern expression.“It's about the man we are about to see.” James said and I saw him taking out some papers from a suitcase besides his leg.“Here boss.” James hands them over to me and I immediately begin scheming through them.“Th

Elena POV"I was an idiot," I said, slapping my forehead with my palm disappointed."What did we just do?" I asked myself, pacing haphazardly around the room.It had been more than ten minutes since the kiss happened and I tried locking the memory somewhere inside my head so I could forget that it ever happened. I wasn't doing so well at that, so I decided to take a walk and clear my head.But when I ran into him, the thought of what happened just reappeared to me.But I didn't feel repulsed or irritated by it, not even for one second. I think that I might have even enjoyed the kiss.I felt my heartbeat start increasing again and I did my best to calm myself down from my triggering thoughts. I placed my hand on my chest to breathe better. I gulped and closed my eyes as I saw the moment again like a movie.I felt annoyed and I didn't know when my hand got a mind of its own and I smacked myself across the cheek."Stupid, stupid me!" I cursed, as I felt even more regretful."Why couldn't

Elena POVIt was the rod of the rack that dug into my side, making the pain multiply in an annoying way.I asked my tongue and pushed myself off the ground, the event already drawing surrounding reactions.I checked my gown, as I contemplated that with the way I felt, it had given me more than a side bruise, if any, but also cut my gown.I turned to look at the left side of my rib and was thankful it wasn't so torn for anyone to notice.I turned with my face flushed in anger, the woman in front of me a complete stranger, but even then, was that how a stranger was supposed to act towards another person?I wanted to speak, to let out my rage, but I remembered where I was.“The Beauty Deluxe Mall is where top-tier people from all over come to shop.” Selene's words popped back into my head.Then again, I was a stranger here; I didn't know who she was and now, I didn't want to either. Instead of causing a scene by questioning her back, or yelling at her because of what she did to me, I cho

Dominic POV“How do you know my name?” I asked slowly. My hands are still slightly raised in a ‘calm down’ position as I wait for him to respond. Hopefully, he wouldn't do anything rash. Like jumping off the building.Mark is quiet, but he's still looking at me as if I was a memory that just walked out of his past to see him now.“Boss, what do we do?” James asked me quietly, and I didn't turn to look at him.“Just wait. I have a feeling that he's going to talk on his own,” I said.“Hm,” James replied, taking my word for it.“I recognize you,” Mark said after a minute, clearing the silence.“You just said my name, so I believe that. But how do you know who I am?” I asked, Mark's eyes still locked on me. He was remembering things.“The reason why I recognized you the moment you took off that mask was because I remembered when I worked with Luca, back in the days. All that time, all those years. And yet Luca had a persistent problem he couldn't get rid of. It was you. His biggest rival,

The Mafia’s Price:Bound By Debt Chapter 75
Chapter 75ElenaI squinted my eyes open, taking a while to adjust to the sudden brightness. It was another morning, but I felt odd. My body to be precise. My temples throbbed with an ache, and my brain seemed fuzzy.With a groan, I tried to sit up when a sudden soreness from my lower body made me lay back in bed. It felt as though I had been run over by a truck, my lower body aches so much that I let out a grunt in pain. Hold up.How did I get home? Weren't I in the club?I dug into my memories, putting the broken pieces together slowly until everything started to make sense.From when I started to drink, to when a random guy pulled me for a dance, then Dominic's arrival.When I got to that point, the fog seemed to have cleared and my brain blanked. Last night, Dominic and I….had sex. Shit!How did that happen? I could remember the arguments, and then how everything happened. Thinking of it, I felt the person last night was not me.How could I allow him to touch me after all Sele

Dominic’s POVI knew this might happen. And it was all because of that damn bitch Tess who made that fucking video. If it had been either Selene or Sophia, a simple explanation would suffice. But unfortunately, I wasn't lucky.“You're not denying it,” Elena said, looking sadder when she gauged my reactions.“When I was, I didn't want to believe it. But now there's evidence,” Elena said, and she throws my hands at me.“You're nothing but a lecherous man! That's it. I don't know why or what joy you get in your weird fetish but it's evident you enjoy using women like objects or toys to get what you want. Then you'd dump us like we aren't of value anymore. That's sick!” Elena yelled at me and I moved back a bit.I didn't react that way because of the way she yelled in my face but because I never expected her to say those words to me in the first place. The way she now thought of me in her head was something I didn’t want to believe, even though I couldn't deny it.I sighed. My fingers sta

Chapter 73Elena POVEven in my drunken state, I couldn't believe it. It just felt as if Dominic spawned here. Because there were no other indicators he was coming. Wait! How did he even find me?I remember Selene and I talked about this being a secret outing, no one would know, we'd be quick in and out. And the rest of the promises. But now things were far from what she actually said.“You disappear for days and the next thing I know you're stalking me. That's not done,” I said, annoyed.“Silence, Elena. You've disappointed me again and this time you willingly put yourself at risk. I made the rule that no one should go out without my permission but you didn't pay any attention to it. Even if Selene took you out, you still brought up the idea. You're the rebel here. I'm trying so much to care for you, but you don't just give a damn,” Dominic said and I don't feel the urge to resist his pull. It's not because I felt powerless—it's because I felt guilty.He actually did care? I asked in

Dominic POV"How could Selene let this happen?" I questioned, feeling annoyed. Not only did she disobey my direct order, she made things worse by taking Elena to a messed-up place like the club."For fuck's sake!" I said, flinging a book I was holding.I came back wanting to know how I could resolve things with her. After that meeting at the Pabo's parlor, I realized how precious Elena was to me. That woman—and literally all other women—didn't move me the way Elena did. I couldn't replicate the feeling with anyone else.So I thought of apologizing, but Selene had ruined my plans."Her reasons.better be good.” I thought inwardly.Even though I purposely left to meet Don Pietro. Even after the meeting, I could have come back straight away. But I didn't. I didn't want to come back immediately and start getting heavy, barely explainable mood swings again. So I decided the best option was to avoid her completely. If I didn't see her, I wouldn't be moved to worry, I wouldn't be moved to go

Selene POV“Go get dressed and meet me outside before 7 p.m.,” I said, lowering my voice to a whisper.Elena nodded and jogged away. Since she wasn't watching me, I couldn't help but smile to myself.It was against Dominic’s instructions to take Elena on any outing again since the last time. It didn't go so well—what started as a fun outing turned into a shootout with Luca's men. So it made things difficult for me.Here I was, thinking of what other ways to add fuel to the fire to make the conflict between them more intense. My mind was pondering deeply about what I could do to make Elena want to disobey Dominic even more. But without giving her venomous thoughts, she brought up the idea herself.I couldn't help but laugh inside. Now, even if Dominic gets us on the ropes, just a few arguments and agreements, and I'd still walk out of this situation unfazed.But for now, I had to stop taking joy in my thoughts and focus on actually bringing my plans to work. So, I entered my room to ge

Elena's POVHe did it. He really did compare me to a slut, to a whore. I never knew or expected that our argument was going to escalate to such a level, but when it did, I felt my pain dig deeper inside me.When Selene told me those things in the car, about how he treated women, I didn't want to believe it. I was angry, and I felt irritated when I got the description, but somewhere inside, a part of me didn't want to believe what Selene said was true—and it was because of the kiss. I still had doubts. But now, his words had confirmed it.Yet, I felt down. Even though I wasn't sure exactly why, but I wasn't angry or worried any longer. I was sad. And the sensation was becoming more evident as I took a minute to recollect the whole thing. Not just when he insulted me.I looked at my hand, and it twitched on its own when I remembered what I used it to do—slap Dominic. I didn't plan it. I was just unable to restrain myself after hearing those unexpected words from him. He was pained, and

Dominic's POVI couldn't believe that's how meeting her to clear things up would go. If anything, things had gotten worse than they were.It was not my intention, but eventually, this is how things unfolded.I looked at the medication in my hands, and I didn't feel like taking them. Even if I did, I'd probably have an overdose. With the way I felt, I'd need something to take away this pain, to numb my sensations if possible.I was angry with myself again for obvious reasons. Elena made it so. But even then, I knew inside that I wasn't acting like I was supposed to. My reactions, attitude, and character — totally off.Elena wanted to leave this place. She'd say so boldly with her mouth, so I know that much. That she didn't have anything tying her down here. But I felt like that's what fueled my anger inside. Not only did she want to leave, but that also meant she didn't feel the same way I did about her, and that just seemed to raise my anger even more.Thinking back at it now, I proba

Dominic POVIt took me about half an hour to get myself back in a calm state. I felt regretful, yes, but if I didn't face it now, I would just keep carrying them about and continue to be cranky—and that was initially what made James suspicious about me loving Elena.I had to address it. It wasn't going to help if I sat on the floor waiting for something like a miracle to happen. Not that I believed in that to begin with. I stood to my feet and picked my handkerchief off the ground. I looked like a mess, but I did my best to adjust my shirt, tie and collar and took a deep breath before leaving my office.I shut the door and walked over to Elena room. The guards that moved around and the surrounding maids greeted me, but I didn't respond to them. I just kept going until I finally got to her room door.I was some feet away from the door when I heard people talking inside. I paused, wondering who it could be, but eventually, I decided to draw closer and eavesdrop to get my answer."You've

Dominic POV I did not know what had gotten into James this afternoon, but I wasn't ready to entertain such direct confrontation from him. What had entered him, I do not know—but I would not tolerate it. "You are treading a very thin line, James. I suggest that you stop with your approach and do as I told you to—leave my office," I warned, but my words didn't seem to fuel any fear. He just stood there, unfazed. "My behavior is disrespectful. I'm sorry boss, I truly am. But this is an issue I have come to realize that I have to address. If not, it's not going to work out for our benefit. It is only going to make our enemies succeed and our plans fall through," James said, and I kept my gaze, radiating my anger hot at him. "This woman—she's becoming your weakness, and it has become visibly evident to me. That is why I’ve decided to speak up against it before it is too late," James said. "Say what you have in mind, James. Say it," I dared, and he gulped and replied. "Elena has taken
