Semua Bab The Mafia's Possession: Every Breath She Takes : Bab 91 - Bab 100

CYRAN KAELROS POV "I'm sorry, Father. I didn't mean for all of these to happen.""It wasn't your fault. Zevran knew we weren't going to stop, so he crippled us before we could do anything.""How's the case holding up?""They're still digging through everything. You would have to lie low for a while if you don't want to get involved. How about you travel for a while?""I do plan to travel," I said. "I'll be going to Valestra. Today is Vesper's exhibition."Father met my gaze. "What are you planning to do?"A sharp breath escaped my lungs, my head creasing."What do you think. I'm going to kill that bastard tonight. He thinks he has us crippled so he won't see it coming.""You will do no such thing."I stood up, towering over him, my eyes bloodshot. "Why not?"He got up too, his fury matching mine. "Because I don't want to lose a son. What you're trying to do is reckless. Do you think you can just go to Valestra and take him down? The moment you set foot out of Averra, Zevran would fi

CAMILLE SILVANE POV "Are you sure you'll be fine?"I nodded, pulling the blanket over me."Alright. I'll be on my way then."His gaze lingered for a few more seconds, then he turned and walked out of my room.I turned on my side, my eyes squeezing shut."It's going to be a really long night."---Someone was touching me.Pretending to still be asleep, I listened, trying to pinpoint the exact spot they were.If I were fast enough, I would be able to put a bullet in their head before they realize that I was awake.I just had to get the timing right.But why did my arms feel so heavy?"I know you're awake, Camille."Kellan?Was I dreaming?I opened my eyes, blinked to adjust them to the dim light, then turned my head.He was sitting on the chair by my bedside staring at me."You look like you've seen a ghost."I tried to sit up, then gasped as my body jerked to a stop, a sharp clink echoing through the silence as cold metal bit into my wrist.My eyes flew to his."Are you surprised?" He

CYRAN KAELROS POV My brows fluttered, the light flashing over my eyes making it hurt."What the—" I groaned, my vision blurry as I sat up. "I feel like shit."I glanced at the winding road, then at the driver's seat, my brows furrowing in confusion as I saw Myra. Where the hell were we going? Why weren't we at the exhibition yet?"What's going on? Why are you the one driving?""Oh, you blacked out."The casual way she said it had my skin prickling...and what did she mean that I passed out? I couldn't remember anything.I glanced around. "Where are we? Did you take a wrong turn...ugh, my throat feels parched."She pointed to the water bottle in front of me."Drink that. As for where we are, you don't have to worry, I just took a shortcut. We'll be arriving there soon.""Are you sure?" I looked down the empty road. "This place seems really deserted. If it weren't for the street lights, I would think it was haunted."She forced a laugh, her knuckles whitening as her hands clenched on th

NIKLAUS STERLING POV"So? Was it worth it?" Gabby asked, turning to face me as I stepped inside the hotel room. Her voice was sharp, the edge dulled only by the alcohol in her system. "Was it worth risking luxe just to chase a girl that's already engaged to another man?"I met her gaze, jaw ticking. "It was. I got a chance to test the waters." I shrugged off my jacket and set it on the stand beside the door. "Hearing you say that is making me feel shittier than I already do." She let out a tired sigh, her shoulders sagging. "I shouldn't have let you come here. We were so happy back at Galveston, and now, I have to watch you risk your life for someone who doesn't even want you...""You don't know that." My jaw tightened, the dark feeling in my chest that never went away stirring back to life. "You have no idea what Vesper wants.""And you do?" Gabby scoffed, walking toward the drink cabinet, her movements loose and unsteady. "Yes. I know Vesper thinks she's in love with Zevran, but fr

ZEVRAN ILVANE POVThey were all dead except one. And he was going to regret being alive soon.I wiped the sweat off my brow, eyes narrowing as I scanned the wreckage of their car, the bitter taste of smoke and gunpowder thick in the back of my neck.It had been close—too damn close. Another second and that driver would've put a bullet in my head. Or worse, in Vesper's.The thought made me see red, my vision blurring for a second as rage pressed against my rib. How could he betray me? Just how much was he promised by the enemy to do what he did without thinking of the consequences?I glanced at the car, my heart skipping a beat as my eyes collided with those of Vesper.She looked unaffected, like there was nothing that could faze or touch her...like she had the utmost trust in me—and maybe she did, but her eyes told a different story.The fear in them was vivid, and I could almost hear what she was trying to suppress. The thought that maybe she was right to be worried all along and th
