Semua Bab The Mafia's Possession: Every Breath She Takes : Bab 31 - Bab 40

VESPER GREY LYSAN POV The weight of the gun in my hand got heavier by the second, the air bursting raggedly out of my lungs as I took aim.I could just go off on him right now. All it would take would be five shots...so why was I waiting for his question? Was I playing by the rules when I had a gun in my hand? Even if it was just a bullet, all I had to do was click rapidly five times, so why couldn't I do it?"Back then," he started, his eyes softening, a flicker of sadness, fleeting but profound, crossing his face. "If I hadn't hurt you, would you have kept your promise. I want only the truth."My hands trembled, my fingers resting against the trigger.My throat felt like shards of glass were lodged inside."No," I answered truthfully. "The only thing that would have been different was killing you. If you hadn't hurt me, I wouldn't have shot you, but I'll have left you behind. I was always going to leave you behind," I said, watching his emotionless face."Pull the trigger then. Who

ZEVRAN ILVANE POV "You said you weren't going to do anything drastic. We had a deal with Kaelros," Silvane roared, stepping close to me, his hands clenching at his side.I scoffed, turning from him and walking to the bar. "I kept my word though. Cyran is still breathing, is he not?" I said as I filled up a glass."Barely." Silvane bit out, his jaw clenching. "We might have threatened Kaelros and he gave in, but if Cyran dies, this is going to be a full-blown war""Correction, dear uncle, I threatened Kaelros," I said, then spread my arms. "If Cyran dies, then he dies. If Kaelros starts a war. I'll be the one to end it."Silvane huffed out a breath, the corner of his eyes twitching. "You are insane, you know that, right?"I laughed, all dark and twisted. "I know," I said, then picked up the drink, my grip tightening around the rim, crystal creaking beneath my fingers as dark thoughts swirled through my head.I forced a breath through my nose, slow and deliberate, like Ilvane had taugh

VESPER GREY LYSAN POV The time was seven on the dot.I clenched the pen in my hand tightly as my heart dropped into the pit of my stomach, my throat burning as the fierce sensation in my guts worsened."This is actually a good preposition Miss Vesper. Your perspective is so fresh and unique, I think we can really turn things around if we go through with this," Gwen said, pulling me out of the quicksand I was sinking into."You really think so?" I asked, struggling to maintain eye contact as the sound of the ticking clock became louder in my ears."Yes, Mrs Vesper. Pardon me for saying this, but Mrs Lysan has been very dogged in keeping things as Sir Lysan left it before his death, and that has always held us back from breaking through the market, but now, with this new idea and proposal, I think the Lysan cooperation will finally have the modern edge that we've always been hoping for.""Gwen is right. I believe after we hold our exhibition, we should start working on this immediately

CAMILLE SILVANE POV Vesper wandered my space like she owned it, her delicate, floral scent curling in the air. It was the kind of fragrance that clung to skin, to memory. Did she wear it for Zevran? To drive him insane?I had wanted to figure her out...to dissect her into little pieces and spread her out like a puzzle until I found the exact piece that made her so appealing, but now that she was here, breathing my air, I didn't need the puzzle.I hated to admit it, but she was beautiful—infuriatingly so.No wonder Zevran was so obsessed. Who wouldn't be? Even Cyran, who knew the danger of being with her had drove straight in without a second thought. He'd been ready to go to war with Zevran when he didn't stand a chance. I wonder if he survived... There's been no news about him.But Cyran wasn't the point. Vesper was.Vesper and her storm colored eyes and smooth pale skin. I wonder how red she'd bruise if I hit her. I bet it would be prettyVesper glanced around the room, cautious

CAMILLE SILVANE POV I watched Zevran's car peel out of my driveway, the ache that should have been in my chest not quite there."You're so good at acting like I don't exist, but you couldn't ignore me this time could you?" I muttered to myself, then picked up my phone.I dialed Payne's number. He answered on the first ring."Do you have any news for me?""Yes. Cyran Kaelros is out of danger at the moment. The hospital security was airtight but I was able to get his medical record and look through it. He should be on his feet in a matter of weeks."I let out a slow breath, the tension in my shoulder lessening. "Good and were you able to meet Kaelros?""It was difficult to meet him, but he said he'll accept your offer.""Even better. That's all I needed to hear. I'll call you again when I need you," I said then ended the call.I walked into the room Vesper had stayed in, looking around the well-arranged space, then smirked."Who would have thought you'd be so interesting, Vesper," I wh
