NINETY

Isabelle let out a breath she didn’t realize she had been holding, but the weight of his last warning—always answer my calls, still lingered. She smiled as she stared at the white-walled studio that she was assigned to. Today was going so well, well except for Alessandro bringing his army with him, and dropping off two with her to watch her every move. And they hadn't left her side even for a second. They were hell bent on following her to every single corner she went to.

She had to excuse herself to use the restroom to see if they'll follow her too.

But, apparently, that was the only boundary she was going to get. She couldn't blame them even if she wanted to. It wasn't their fault. They were only following orders, and disobedience might likely mean their death. And they seemed nice. At least they weren't trying to be overly invasive.

It would be a mean thing to disappear into thin air, because they were the ones to suffer for whatever shenanigan she decides to create.

  • The Mafia's Willing Prey   ONE-HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SIX

    ONE-HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SIXThe room remained oddly quiet for a few minutes, and for some reason it felt unsettling. Isabelle could hear voices outside the room but couldn't make out who it was or what they were saying, but it was a sign that there were more people here.“I think the boss is coming,” the one who was called Romano announced. Isabelle felt her body get all tensed up. It wasn't thrill or excitement, but pure fear. She was about to meet the one who orchestrated the entire accident.If anything, she was beyond terrified.In seconds, the door opened and she watched as the men sprang to their feet, tension adding to the atmosphere in the room.She couldn't see the face properly, so she sat still and waited because she knew whoever it was would definitely come to see her face and wallow in his victory.“Where is she?” a deep and unfamiliar voice asked. A voice capable enough to seduce women into so many acts possible. Not her though, because she felt terrified.“There. All ti

  • The Mafia's Willing Prey   ONE-HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVE

    ONE-HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVEWhen she squeezed her eyes against the pain, she realized that she had been kidnapped.There was no better way to explain being blindfolded, her mouth sealed with mouth tape, her legs and hands tied up with her being hauled inside the back of a huge truck. She knew she had been kidnapped because she could hear the mockery in their voices—how they called Alessandro’s men weak.Something pierced in her heart on remembering him. She should have listened…shouldn't have made Nicholas take her out for a burger…she should have just let him get someone to buy it for her.But, she had insisted.And this is where insisting had brought her. So many questions ran through her head.How was Nicholas? Was he dead? Alive? In what condition?How were the other men?They must hate her now.Who were these men who took her and what did they want from her?She tried to scream over the the restraining material but she couldn't. She was too weak to do so. Whatever they had inject

    ONE-HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR“I want to put a tracker on you.”It wasn't a request from the looks of it because it didn't sound like he was asking, sounded more like something he had already decided and was only doing the normal ritual by letting her know, sounded like he would still do it even if she didn't give him the go-ahead.Isabelle licked her bottom lip, answering quietly, “Okay.”He took a step closer towards her as they stood in their bedroom.“Okay?”Okay, that one sounded like a request.She nodded. “Yes. It didn't feel like you were asking anyway.”Alessandro held her gaze. “I wasn't.” He paused for a minute. “But I was also giving you the chance to ask any questions you might have concerning it.”Isabelle took a deep breath. “I know it's something important you have to do or you wouldn't bring it up. Will it hurt?”He took in her features before answering. “It would, because I would be injecting it in you.”She nodded slowly. “Where do you plan on injecting it?”Alessandr

    ONE-HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THREE “It's today. The day I've been anticipating. I'm not going to let anyone ruin today for me. The past is in the past,” Isabelle admonished herself, wiping the tear that fell as she stood in front of the mirror. “It was either me or him,” she added, remembering the Marcello incident. “I didn't kill him intentionally. It was in self defense,” she murmured, taking her hand to her chest. “It's not going to happen again. Alessandro will always be there. He will be there. I won't have to kill anyone anymore,” she added, holding herself from bursting into more tears. [Bad, bad men, Isabelle darling. They're everywhere. It would always be you against them. All these I do…all these I do for your own good, I do to protect you. They'll come for you if they knew you were my daughter,” her papá advised. “Never show yourself outside this walls. You never know the beast outside…waiting for you.”] Papá was right. There were more bad men outside than she could count. He

    ONE-HUNDRED AND THIRTY-TWOTwo days later…~MOSCOW, RUSSIA“Shit! Shit! Shit!” Alexei cursed out angrily, his fists slamming against the desk.“You mind telling me what your problem is?” Riccardo asked.“Fuck! What a damn fool!”“What's your problem, Alexei? Are you going to keep ranting all day or will you spill what went wrong?”“The guy I hired. The one who is supposed to fucking monitor her movements…he's dead. Shit! I almost…I almost had her. I knew I should have killed the fucking fool when he started showing interest in her.”“Okay. That definitely calls for a change in plans. Are you going to back off now? Or are you still going with this relentless chasing?” Riccardo questioned, his gaze following Alexei’s pacing movement.“I'm not backing off. If he's dead, then good riddance. I mean he was going to die sometime anyway. They just made my work a lil complicated, but that's fine. I might just have to go with plan number two and that's definitely going to work. I'm sure of it,”

    ONE-HUNDRED AND THIRTY-ONE“You called us, boss!” Nicholas announced as they stood in Alessandro’s office.Alessandro tapped his cigarette on the silver ash tray beside him, looking at them like they’ve both gone mad. “Called you? Why the fuck would I call you?”Lev shifted where he stood. “You called us boss. You said you needed us for something important and we had only five minutes to get here, that's why we're here.”“Nicholas, what is he saying?” Alessandro questioned, sitting upright.“He's right boss. You… Wait a minute. You weren't the one behind the call? But…but it sounded just like you.”“What the fuck are you both talking about? And where's my wife? Where's Isabelle?” Alessandro asked, rising from the chair seething with rage.“She…she's not with us. We left her as soon as you called,” Lev explained, stepping back.“Called? I didn’t fucking call you both. I didn’t…wait, if you both are here, it means…it means, you left my wife…the one your sole responsibility is to protect
