Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Mafia's Possession: Every Breath She Takes : Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

ZEVRAN ILVANE POV Dead men littered the ground, the fire burning through the space filling the air with the acrid smell of their charred flesh.It was a gruesome sight.The cleanup crew moved fast, dousing flames and dragging corpses out of the way.It would probably take them a while to scour the whole building, but I was sure they would get the job done before the cops pulled up.The only downside to the rescue mission was that Kellan had managed to escape.And it was all because Camille put herself in the line of fire just to shield him from me.My jaw tightened, finger flexing on the trigger still warm in my hand.Why the hell did she do that? What deal could she have made with him to risk her life like that?I cut a glance toward her corner—where our medics stood bandaging every visible cut on her body—the gnawing sense in my gut that something was off growing darker.Marros approached me, his face grim."Any sign of Kellan?""Not yet, but we have men searching everywhere. I als

VESPER GREY LYSAN POVI stepped into the kitchen, the short distance from my bedroom feeling like miles as my feet throbbed in pain.God damn it, I really shouldn't have walked on those broken glasses.I let out a heavy sigh, pushed my hair back, and walked toward the kitchen counter.Another meal was waiting for me.But it was already too cold and I didn't have the energy to pick it up and reheat it."Ugh," I braced my arms on the counter to support my weight. "Is this how I die? Starving and all alone?"I let my head drop to the surface, the urge to climb on and curl in on myself overwhelming, but I didn't even have the strength for that."This really sucks," I muttered, closing my eyes.When was Zevran going to come back? He left early, and it was already seven. Didn't he say he wasn't going to be out long... Yes, I had been half asleep, but I clearly remember him saying that he would be back before I knew it."You make rules and you don't even follow them," I mumbled to myself, th

VESPER GREY LYSAN POV Zevran's eyes widened in surprise, a mix of shock and desire flashing across his face as he took in the sight of me on my knees.And just like that, the reality of my action sank in. I was kneeling in front of Zevran, doing so of my own free will. My hand clenched on my thighs, the cool air blowing around us a sharp contrast to the fire raging inside. Why was it so easy to get swept off every time he was near, every time he touched me...why was it so hard to resist this forbidden pull—My thought cut off as he grabbed my chin and tilted my head to meet his gaze.The hunger in his eyes mirrored mine, and as I looked at him, taking in the way his eyes pleaded with mine to do something, anything, the vulnerable position I was in gave way to power. A feeling of being in control spread over me like a warm blanket.His thumb grazed my lips, every rough caress shooting straight to my core. I clenched my thighs, my breath heavy as the air thickened with heat and lust.

ZEVRAN ILVANE POV Camille looked up as I stepped into her room, a smile curving her mouth."You finally came. I've been waiting all day. Why did you take so long?"I ignored her question, stepping close and looking her over. "How's your wound healing?""It feels a lot better than yesterday... I've been swallowing pills after pills since I woke up, but doctor Frieda is such a good—"I'd heard enough. "Let's cut to the chase, Camille," I cut in, shoving my hand into my pocket. "You know why I am here."Her face fell. "Do we really have to talk about it now? I'm still traumatized from the whole incident that just thinking about it—" She shuddered, "—makes me physically ill."I would have believed her, but I knew Camille. And she was acting out of character right now."Is that the best you can do?"She looked up, confusion swirling on her face. "What do you mean by that?"I scoffed then leaned in, eyes locking on hers. "Do you think I'm stupid? You're trying to stall for time to come u

VESPER GREY LYSAN POV My finger pressed hard on the pen in my hand, the clicking sound jarring in the otherwise silent room."What did you two talk about on that day?" I muttered under my breath.It had been three days already but I still couldn't get it out of my head. What had been so private that he couldn't let me hear.And why had Camille looked so triumphant when he'd said it?Did she think she won or something? She was delusional if she thought Zevran would ever fall for her. I was the only one he loved, and that's never going to change... will it?"Argh! What are you even thinking about?" I clasped my head, my hands clutching at my hair. "This is really starting to piss me off."I blew out a breath, shook my head, and forced myself to focus on the documents on my screen.I noticed a mistake immediately. Just what the hell have I been doing?I cussed under my breath, my jaw ticking as I corrected it."You really need to focus Vesper. If you keep on going like this, you'll end
