All Chapters of Their Rivalry: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

London, England ~ Ava’s POV My father left before I could ask him any further questions. What the hell did he mean by the American mafia was back at it again? I had never known the American mafia to be a thorn in the flesh of the top four mafias.My fingers drummed the table as I thought about the new threat. A knock on the door pulled me out of my reverie, and Eli walked in with his tablet in hand.“Adamovich, you’ve received an emergency notice from the Russo family.” Eli pulled the chair opposite me and took a seat.I reached out for the tablet and opened the message. Isabella Russo, the new Donna of the Italian mafia, would be arriving in London tonight to discuss a nuisance in her territory.”“Eli, schedule a meeting for tonight an hour after her arrival. Get one of the rooms on our wing prepared for her stay. I want both you and Henry at the meeting, do not be late.” I cautioned.He nodded his head in reply, reached for his tablet from me then left. I ran a hand through my hair.

London, England ~ Ava’s POVEveryone was seated around the large executive table in the conference hall but Vladimir. This should have gotten me worried because he could have been plotting our murders. The only thing that had kept my thoughts from straying was that he’d gotten multiple opportunities to take anyone of us out but hadn’t.I wasn’t slow to notice that he and Henry had become close again, and I wasn’t sure if it was safe to assume that my brother had come to trust Vladimir.Isabella had been staring at me the entire time from the corner of her eyes. I think she was expecting me to bolt out of here only to press my dagger against the throat of the possible traitor. She had stressed earlier on that trust was key if whatever we would plan was to work. Apparently, if we were divided like the Americans wanted, it would be easy for them to take us out one by one.“He’s on his way.” Eli informed.Only then did I remember that I had tasked Eli to keep tabs on him. That meant Vlad h

London, England ~ Vladimir’s POVI entered the conference room with a blank expression and pulled an empty chair to take a seat. The same question was on everyone’s lips, and I took my time waiting for one of them to spit it out.“Where’s the boss?” Isabella finally did.“Don’t know.”That wasn’t entirely a lie. The last I saw her was when she bolted out the door I had opened for her, looking like nothing but a hot mess.The meeting did not commence until the ‘Boss’ walked in. Dressed in a black mini dress and thigh high boots, she walked menacingly towards us to take the seat directly opposite me.She had on an expression that said, ‘No one should ask me shit about my whereabouts.’ Miguel only shook his head at the situation, clearly amused, and asked Jeremy to fill us in.Apparently, Jeremy was only for back up. By Friday all the other members of Nightshade should have arrived in England. The third-in-command was to go to Cambridge, the second-in-command to Canterbury, then both will

Cambridge, England ~ Ava’s POVWhen Vladimir asked to handle Maddison the same way he’d done with Jeremy, I gave him the go ahead. If he failed to get through to her, we could always resort to torture. Back at the safe house we got her tied up in the basement and waited for the effects of the drug to wear off.Fortunately, it didn’t take that long. Her eyelids fluttered open, and I realized it took a moment for her to take in the sudden change in surroundings. An hour ago, she was this close to locking lips with a hot stranger, now she’s tied up in the middle of a dark room with no idea where she was or if she’d make it out alive.We had decided not to turn on the lights yet, so the room was pitch black. Vlad stood at the entrance of the cell, directly opposite Maddison, while Isabella and I stood at opposite corners facing her.We watched her try to break free for a while until she finally gave up and tossed her head back in frustration. I rested my head back against the wall and shut

Oxford, England ~ Ava’s POVIt felt like a weight had been lifted off my chest.Vladimir carried me to the bed and threw me on top of it. He preferred to undress me himself, so I laid back and watched him strip down to just his boxer briefs. He rolled up my dress till it reached slightly above my hips. His fingers tugged off my panties, and I watched him toss them across the room without a care.He raised my leg over his shoulder and trailed kisses down the inside of my thigh. I felt his lips and tongue slowly draw near my pussy and I arched my back in response to him. I wanted more. Vlad held me back down in place, and gently sucked on my clit.I clutched tightly onto the sheets, the pleasure was unimaginable, and Vlad had practically restricted any movement of my lower body. His tongue worked my clit in every direction possible, and I felt myself drawing closer to an orgasm.“Fuck.” I heard him grunt when he slid two fingers into me. His fingers pumped in and out of me, slowly and ge
