The Mafia’s Price:Bound By Debt Chapter 72
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

Chapter 1Elena's POVMy boyfriend. The same boyfriend with whom I had spent and dreamed of long-term love, trust, and life together was sprawled on a bed sheet with nothing but my little sister, Lily."Elena!" Brian tried in vain to get into a sitting position, his face a picture of guilt and fear written all over his face.I guess it was too late. "It's not what it looks like!"But it was exactly what it looked like. Lily, my sister, leaned back against the headboard, completely unfazed, her smug grin igniting my anger.Well, I knew she was a snake, but bringing my boyfriend into this. He was the only one on my side. At least I thought so.“Oh, come on, Elena," she voiced out, playfully wending a strand of her hair through her shoulder. “I hope you didn't think he'd be sticking around for someone like you, or did you?”Her words cut deep as if someone had plunged a knife into my chest. My vision flashed, and my hands locked at my sides, screaming constricted my very throat. There

Chapter 2Elena's POV The car ride had no sound. I looked outside the window, my heart beginning to beat fast in my chest as we drove through the places I had never set my eyes on before.The city lights became a blur as we passed them but my thoughts fixated on one idea.How the hell had my life flipped so fast?They had betrayed me, sold me, and now a man who gave off a dangerous aura had kidnapped me. My father's words rang in my head, his cowardice eating through me. How could he have done this to me?"What's our destination?" I asked, at last, ending the silence. My voice was trembling but the aim was to sound tougher than I felt. The man, who sat opposite me, shifted his cold dark eyes to look at me. His sharp features seemed chiselled from rock, and his presence made it hard to breathe."You'll know soon," he answered, his tone as frosty as his look."Hey," I said, my anger starting to rise. "You can't just—""I can do as I please," he cut in, his voice deep and firm. "You'

Chapter 3Dominic’s POVWith her arms clasped, the girl sat on the bed's edge, her lips pressing down in a firm line.With her defiance, she held a stronghold on me, her blue eyes twinkling like she wanted to annihilate me."I'm not some slave." Her voice cracked slightly.Her voice hinted that her fear was not the same as that of any other captive.My eyes were unreadable as I stared at her. Despite being as captive as she presumed she still showed fearless behaviour.She had a small physique which matched her stubbornness. She was probably in her early twenties.“You're not going to treat me like a slave,”"I'm not required to chain you," I replied, my tone being colder than intended. The person in question remained silent.Her face shook in anger, and she silently spoke a series of curses, calling me whatever different names.“What are you going to do? Keep me locked in here? This is bullying and kidnapping.You are only doing this because you know I can't do anything in return be

Chapter 4Elena's POV The ropes pierced my wrists, but I didn't stop pulling on. Every twist sent painful pain up my arms, but I still managed to hold on tightly. Why? Desperation was at its peak. After a prolonged period, I managed to loosen one of the ropes and proceeded to release the rest.My chest vibrated while I sat in silence, staring at the reddened skin on my wrists. Standing on my feet, I whispered, "I'm not going to become his prisoner."My mind raced, attempting to plan my next action since I knew going through the door would be a terrible idea.My eyes landed on the window and I realized they were not locked. Walking on tiptoes, I got to it, my heart racing in my chest as I inspected the hinges. They squealed softly, but the window opened with ease.The night air met against my face. I hesitated briefly before leaping onto the window. I got up onto the grass. I didn't wait to see the consequences of my jump because what would happen in a split second was. Unforese

Elena’s POVAs much as I struggled with them to free me, they refused to let me go. Instead, I was dragged back to the room he had locked me up earlier, like a disobedient dog. My feet’s were scraping against the cold floor, and we soon arrived back in the room I escaped from. I was thrown on the bed and I landed with a soft thud. The door slammed shut behind them, and I was left alone again. I trembled as what I had witnessed minutes ago crossed my mind. I stared at the ceiling as the memory enveloped me, I know Dominic was one brutal soul, but witnessing him actually kill someone without sympathy as if it were his daily routine was a show that will never leave my mind easily. Those cold words of his still echoed in my mind. “You shouldn't have seen that.” he'd muttered with a nonchalant expression as if it meant nothing. Seen what? The fucking brutally? The ruthlessness? The truth? Could that be my fate here as well? What if he decides to kill me too? The questions stormed my mi

Elena’s POVI know they've always hated me, but I never expected my father to be like this. Giving me up this way and I know he would never come for me. The thoughts of everything that has happened to me kept replaying in my mind like an unending nightmare. Dominic’s words, his actions, the way he had killed that man without hesitation, the way the ground had absorbed his blood immediately, It all haunted me.I turned on the bed repeatedly, trying to find a comfortable position to rest, but my mind refused to keep quiet, I kept thinking about the day’s events.The thought of it all made me drown in a sea of despair. I didn't know how I was going to survive this trauma. Dominic’s words kept ringing in my head, “You’ll stay here until your good for nothing father settles me,” the thought of that sentence alone made my stomach turn because when exactly was my father going to settle Dominic? He wouldn't, even if he would, it would take forever, I might stay here for the rest of my life.

Dominic’s POVI walked into the room without even knocking to alert Elena I was coming in. This is my domain, I mean, why would I have to knock in my house before entering? I stared around the room searching for any signs of escape since that seemed to be her only goal here, which was a total waste of time. But then my eyes landed on her, Elena, my captive, my stubborn, strong headed captive. She was sitting right there on the bed, her back against the headboard, he seemed lost in thoughts as her eyes landed on me as well. I could see the fear in them, but then that spark of resistance that has always been there. I walked over to the bed, and sat down beside her, my weight causing the mattress to dip in. “Hey girl,” I muttered, my voice calm and steady. She didn't respond. She just kept staring at me, her face filled with an expression I couldn't quiet explain, and I knew she had a lot to say. I smiled, an amused smile. I liked her spirit. I liked the way she stood up to me eve

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 POVI 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 too m

Selene POVDominic hadn't answered my question. It had been a full five minutes since I asked, yet he hadn't given me an answer or even said a word. He was still thinking, but that made my heart pound even more as the minutes went by. Why was he still thinking?Dominic sighed and looked at me, and I saw he was ready to respond to my question. I steeled myself as best as I could—so if what he wanted to say would hurt me, even a little, I would be able to take it. I hoped so.“If I'm being real, Selene, I don't know,” Dominic replied to me, and my face squeezed up.“What do you not know?” I asked.“What you just asked me about. That is, my feelings for Elena. I can't give you a definite answer,” Dominic said, and I was disappointed.“Why can't you? She's just taking up space. This should be an easy decision to make,” I said. My anger was starting to show in my words, but he didn't care about that.I noticed it. Ever since he barged into my room before, telling me I needed to go on an ou

Selene POVI could see it in her eyes. Just like before, at the arcade incident, when the man had pointed a gun directly at us and was about to pull the trigger. That expression. It was the same one she has on now.She wasn't expecting it, and she was finding it impossible to come to terms with. That was good, because that way, things would be working in my favor."That's the way it is, Elena. You have to come to terms with the real behavior of the man you're staying with. Take it from me," I said, and I could see Elena's face pale. The shock was still very evident on her face."It's sad, really, how Dominic acts towards us," I continued. But Elena isn't looking at me—she's listening, and that's good enough."Dominic does that—I mean, he manipulates women's feelings to suit his desires. To use them for his ulterior motives, like we were his little puppets. And when he's done, when he has succeeded, you’d just join the rest of us in the slut category." I said, and Elena started breathi
