Chapter 30: Did I Kill Him?

Penulis: Theia
last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2022-12-31 03:29:31
The city looked like it came straight out of a movie. Debris littered the streets, charred and broken, a grim reminder of the lives that were lost to the fire. It was a ghost town, and the overcast weather wasn’t helping. Thunder roared in the distance, a warning of what was to come.

Vin sent out word to the residents when the fire was put out. The Tomb was a refuge and the residents were free to take shelter there and food will be provided, but most of those affected preferred to stay in their homes.

The mafia boss wasn’t very pleased with that. With his men already spread thin between hunting down Cullen Reich and protecting the Tomb, he had to put out extra security around the city as well. After everything that happened, he couldn’t leave his people vulnerable.

The trip to the South didn’t take long, and about an hour of driving later, Vin pulled into a gated community.

“Your friend lives here?” disbelief and amusement laced his voice. He slowed the car to a halt in front of a

  • The Mafia's Songbird   Chapter 103: So Close

    Shit. No, this can’t be happening.The shouting came after the alarms, which still rang in the air like the soundtrack to Callie’s capture. The pickup truck started to slow down, along with Callie’s hopes.This was it. She’s going to get caught again, and she’ll be punished. Brutally.Callie’s hands shook with a mix of fear and determination. This couldn’t be the end. After everything she’d survived, she was not throwing the towel in now.Without another thought, Callie threw the blanket off and leaped from the side of the truck. Ignoring the pain in her knees and ankles, she took off into a wild sprint, headed for the quickly closing metal gates.

  • The Mafia's Songbird   Chapter 102: Sweet Escape

    The sweet aroma of jasmine and ylang-ylang filled Callie’s senses. The sexy notes of the scents were perfect for seduction, for losing oneself in another.She had been led to a suite that looked nothing like the dorm room she was given. Heavy curtains lined the walls, helping with the room’s soundproofing.The lights were dimmed, giving the suite a soft glow, illuminating a king-sized bed to one side of the room, and a settee to another.It was perfect. Callie thought as she adjusted the blonde wig she had donned earlier that night. Just the right amount of sultry and sweet, enough to distract whatever fool Cullen Reich had decided to throw her way.If that bastard thought Callie would lie down and die, he was sorely mistaken. She would not have survived this long if she were weak.The songbird positioned herself on the settee, arranging the long-sleeved red robe that covered most of her body to fall perfectly around her. Save for her bare leg that she’d strategically slipped out of t

  • The Mafia's Songbird   Chapter 101: Plan

    Fresh out of the bath, Callie softly called out that she was done.The woman who had prepared the bath for her entered with a white fluffy towel draped on one arm, and a salve resting in her other hand.“Thank you…” Callie started when the woman handed her the towel.“Nabi,” the woman answered, tucking a stray piece of hair behind her ear.“Thank you, Nabi. I’m Callie.”Nabi offered a small smile as Callie slipped into a fresh white robe, then she led the singer to sit in front of the vanity.“I’ve heard your name before,” said Nabi as she pulled one drawer open to grab a brush. Slowly, she took a section of Callie’s hair and started to brush it.Callie didn’t ask her to elaborate. Somehow, people knew her name by her association with Vin, and every time, nothing good came out of it.They stayed silent even as Nabi pulled the hair dryer out of another drawer and started to dry Callie’s hair. The blonde brushed and pulled sections of Callie’s hair and pinned them away from her face in

  • The Mafia's Songbird   Chapter 100: Cast Aside

    Callie’s ears rang with Cullen’s howling of frustration but her mind remained on the memory of Vin. His words, no matter how hurtful, his touch no matter how brief.She couldn’t look him in the eyes, feeling disgusted to put on display like that to a man who threw her out once. But she caught glimpses of him. His tired eyes, the downward curve of his mouth, the way his shoulders sagged a bit, these were details only Callie noticed. To anyone else, Vin was a picture of a bored man, but Callie saw through the façade. She saw the darkness that ringed his eyes, his pale skin, and sunken cheeks. Her stomach twisted with worry that he hadn’t been eating well.Maybe he’d changed his mind. Perhaps he’d come to save me, Callie thought earlier. But Vin’s words cut too deeply to be fake. She was a passing plaything. And she will never be more, because Vin had cast her aside for the second time.Callie’s empty stomach tightened as she swallowed the bile that threatened up her throat. Disgust cra

  • The Mafia's Songbird   Chapter 99: Sorry, Little Bird

    Vin drummed his fingers onto the tabletop of Cullen Reich’s private game room. The wait was pissing him off. He had a clear idea why Cullen ever so politely invited him into his territory and into his private establishment.“He’s going to gloat,” said Soren during their earlier meeting. “Callie will be there, that’s given. But we have no news whatsoever after her location was confirmed. We don’t know if…”“We don’t know if she’s alright,” Vin finished for him. “She’s alive. That much, I’m certain. He wouldn’t call me out like this otherwise.”The date of their meeting came. Two full days after Callie left, no, since Callie was taken.Vin reached into his jacket pocket and retrieved a small flask. The whiskey burned down his throat, but it did nothing to ease his nerves.On the outside, he was a picture of calm, but the storm in his eyes betrayed his exterior.Callie was somewhere in Reich’s territory. The plan was already in place, he only needed to set a few more pieces on the board

  • The Mafia's Songbird   Chapter 98: Sold Again

    Callie woke up shivering and sputtering the water that was thrown in her face. Disoriented and cold, she was pulled from the floor and forced to sit in a wooden chair.“Tie her legs and arms,” said a voice she vaguely recognized. “I don’t want her filth touching me.”Callie’s head pounded along with the throbbing ache in her jaw. She ran her tongue across her lips, surprised when she tasted copper upon them. The slap from earlier must have left a cut. A shiver ran down her spine as she felt her wrists being bound together by zip ties, followed by her ankles.“Is she alive? Wake up, darling.” It was the same voice, deep and masculine, but it held a sinister vibe that Callie couldn’t help but shiver. Another splash.Sputtering and coughing, she slowly opened her eyes, groaning when the bright overhead light invaded her vision, worsening her headache.Memories came flooding back after she’d regained her bearings.She had been kidnapped; beaten; drugged three times with sedatives; and now
