Semua Bab The Mafia's Possession: Every Breath She Takes : Bab 21 - Bab 30

CAMILLE SILVANE POV "I think Zevran will kill Cyran regardless of what you say. He says he can't wait two weeks and that you should set up an executive meeting." I reported, my grip tightening on the phone.It was quiet on the other end of the line, but I could hear his thoughts spiraling, his fear of the unknown spilling through."We can't allow that to happen," Silvane finally answered, a trembling edge to his voice. "Making enemies with the Lysanth group is the same thing as crippling our empire. Ilvane already betrayed them in the past. We can't afford more bad blood after striving so hard to mend the rift. Besides, as far as shipping and weapon routes are concerned, no other syndicate comes close to the Lysanth group.""You are right Master, but I'm afraid that is not going to stop Zevran. He's made his decision, and you know how stubborn he can be. If you allow an executive meeting to be held, he's going to convince them all to do what he wants. The executives might oppose his

CYRAN KAELROS POV "You shouldn't have called the cops on Zevran Ilvane. That was a foolish thing to do, and you know it," Father snapped, his brows furrowed.My hands clenched into fists, a muscle jerking in my temple as hate curled like smoke in my chest. "So I was supposed to stand there and let him disrespect her? Right in front of me? Is that what the Lysanth stands for? To take disrespect?" I asked, then arched a brow, my gaze probing into those of the man in front of me. "Are you afraid of him, Father?""Of course not!" he thundered, his eyes blazing. "All I am saying is that there are other ways to resolve a misunderstanding. You shouldn't have let your emotions get the best of you...""—I promised Vesper that I would protect her," I gritted out, cutting him off. "If I'd just stood by and done nothing, what kind of man would that make me. Zevran has no claim to her, so why should I just stand by and let him do whatever he wants?"Father let out a sigh, then stood up, the scar

VESPER GREY LYSAN POV I glanced away from the mirror as Cyran stepped into the room, the dark look on his face making me tense up."What's wrong?" I asked. Did Zevran find us already? It's already been a week of silence, so I wouldn't be surprised."There was a fire at the company."His words hit me like a grenade. I blinked, shaking my head, my brows furrowing. "What do you mean there was a fire at the company" I stood up, my hands clenching into fists. "Is anyone hurt. Was it serious?" I asked, my heart pounding like a sledgehammer.He remained quiet. "Talk to me, damn it!" I yelled, fear and panic clawing at my chest, and making it difficult to breathe.Cyran suddenly took hold of my shoulder. My eyes flew to his, but I couldn't quite make him out. Why the hell was everything getting dim all of a sudden?"Hey! Hey! Hey, breathe. Breathe, Vesper," he yelled, his voice piercing through the ringing in my ear, and that was when I realized I was holding my breath.I let go, blowing o

VESPER GREY LYSAN POV Waking up bound up in chains wasn't surprising or unfamiliar. I'd been bound a lot of times. The first time was by my mom, then Ilvane, and then the asylum... and now, it was Cyran.He sat at the edge of my bed, his back straight and rigid. He was shirtless, an almost burned-out cigarette held between his fore and middle finger.Did Cyran smoke, or was this a new habit he'd picked up?I could see his back muscle rippling with tension, his jaw clenching and unclenching as if he was contemplating something horrible.I moved, the chain making noises. He flinched at the sound, but didn't turn to face. The cigarette dropped from his hand.I pulled myself up, then glanced around the room.Everything looked the same. The bag I had packed earlier lay empty on the floor, and when I glanced at the stool beside it, I noticed some files on the table.What could it be? A contract? Was he going to force me to marry him?"Do you really have to go this far?" I asked, my vo

ZEVRAN ILVANE POVThe door opened, Vesper standing like a fairytale come to life in the doorway, her eyes so wide in shock as they collided with mine, I could make out the swirls in her mercury gray iris.So, so ethereal. Too bad all I felt right now was rage.Rage that she'd been about to marry another man who wasn't me. Rage that it had taken me this long to find her.It was partly Silvane's fault, and partly my fault for not thinking that he could stab me in the back... He'd spoken to the directors behind my back, and unanimously, they'd voted that I couldn't hurt Cyran or jeopardize VIRELUX, and because of that, I'd spent precious days apart from Vesper, hunting them down and getting them to take back their vote.And since I didn't need enemies within my own organization, I hadn't broken their bones like I first intended, instead, I offered them things I knew they desired, and soon another meeting was held, and my decision stood.Infiltrating the Lysanth group also hadn't been eas
