บททั้งหมดของ Wanted By The Mafia Lord; Attracted to the Bad Boy Nextdoor : บทที่ 131 - บทที่ 140

< Octavia > It had started like almost every other morning at the mansion. I had breakfast in my room, took a hot shower, trained a little and returned back for a cold shower. Then I spent the rest of the morning reading books and online sources about the Russian mafias. I was swinging gently in my hammock, enjoying the way it enveloped my body softly. The sun was high up in the sky and rays from it landed on my skin and the book in my hands. It was a leather- bound book with yellow pages. I could tell the book had been written way before any of us in the mansion was born. I glanced up from the book occasionally to look out of the window. The garden was just within my view and I enjoyed the sound of the birds chirping. I had a couple of pictures of the garden from my room and it was such an excellent view.  Along the garden, there is a pathway that leads from the front of the house to the back. I had used that

I ducked behind a bin and crouched on the ground. My palms brushed on the rough floor and I cursed under breath. I twisted my body, hoping no one would notice me. As the car reversed onto the street, I peeped at it. The windows were not tinted so I could see the man behind the wheels. And the man at the back of the car. It was David. He was dressed up in white shirt and dark suit. The car reversed up the curbs of the opposite house and then the driver swerved left and they drove down the street. I made a mental note of the car plate number. I looked into the house before the gates closed again. There was a young woman standing there, with a young girl beside her. From where I was, I couldn't see them clearly but I guessed they had come out to wave David goodbye. Was he married? Is the girl Nakku?The gate closed and I stood up from the dirt, rubbing off the dust that had stained my jeans at the knee and shin area. I made sure the camera didn’t get my face. The best they woul

I studied my reflection in front of the mirror. The jumpsuit sat perfectly on my body and swayed with my movement. I turned around and looked at the backless design. It was perfect.‘’I absolutely love this,’’ I said, still twisting my body in front of the mirror. It gave me the perfect blend of feminine and powerful.Bree smacked her gums loudly. I could tell she was going to disapprove of my choice.‘’What is it?’’ I asked, facing her.She inspected my wear and I pulled out different poses as though she was taking photos of me. ‘’Too formal, Octavia. It’s a garden party, isn’t it?’’‘’Not really a party. But yeah, it’s a garden event.’’She sighed. ‘’I love the dress, Octavia and it looks really pretty on you but you’ll be out of place sitting in a garden with a black jumpsuit.’’I turned back to the mirror. ‘’What’s wrong with it?’’I saw her in the mirror as she arrived in the closet. ‘’Let me look for something you could wear, Oct.’’ she moved to the wardrobe and bega

Three days after the incident that nearly left me dead, i was discharged from the hospital to go home for some adequate rest.‘’You’ll need to rest, so that you’ll heal well,’’ the doctor said.Nile took me to his house. I couldn’t even protest against it. Thoughts of that evening occasionally came to mind, and it brought terror. I imagined what could have happened if the unidentified person had just shot me. I had nightmares sometimes, and in these nightmares I saw the face of the masked man. Sometimes, it was Octavia. One time it was Nile.Dad looked around the room and nodded. I could tell he was only accepting the house because Nile had convinced him that he would increase the security around the houses. I saw the creases on his face. They were even deeper than they had been the last time I saw them. It had been close to a year.‘’Whoever did this to my son will pay with their own blood. No one touches a Giovanni for free,’’ he said to no one in particular.Nile nodded. ‘

There was a loud crash as the bullet hit the target. I saw her move an inch backward with the recoil of the pistol. She looked at me and nodded at me encouragingly. I pulled the earmuffs over my ears and secured them tightly. I raised my rifle. It was a bit heavier than I had imagined. Eye level. Aaron watched mee quietly. I was sweating and his presence beside me was not doing me any good. It was the first time we would be so close to each other after the kiss I had stolen from him. I couldn’t tell if he was mad at me or not. I wasn’t even sure he remembered.‘’Too high,’’ he said, lowering my hand. My skin brushed against his hairy arms and I felt goosebumps crawl all over my body. He enveloped my arm with his and wrapped my shoulder within his body, positioning me correctly.‘’Your dominant eye at the target,’’ he said. He was so close to me that I could hear his breathing despite the ear muffs.‘’Feet apart,’’ Ocatvia called out. I nodded.I stared at the target ahead a
