All Chapters of Mafia's Forbidden Desires: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Slowly, I turned my head. And there he was.Raven. He walked through the crowd like he owned the place. Of course he did. He looked calm and tall, dressed in his usual navy blue suit, among other people here, which made him look even more dangerous.People moved out of his way instinctively.His eyes found me in no time, and the corner of his lips curved in a smirk.My throat went dry. I wanted to look away, but I couldn’t. It was as if he held me with nothing but his gaze.He stopped a few steps away from me, and the air between us felt heavy… like a storm that was about to envelop us both. I gripped the side of my dress harder, and my nails dug into the fabric of my dress.Finally, a few seconds later, he stepped closer. The faint scent of his cologne reached my senses, dark and familiar, and I froze. He leaned slightly, filling my space. “You look beautiful.”It should have been a compliment, but from him, it felt weird, like dark humour. My stomach twisted, and I forced myself to

Raven Blackwood’s Pov:One hour later…“Valerie!!” I was in disbelief as I saw the woman who was supposed to be downstairs, enjoying the party with the fruit juice I sent her a while ago. But no, she was here, exactly where she was not supposed to be. Fucking tied to a chair, dressed in messy clothes with her messy hair.There was no trace of Valerie, the woman I knew of, on her face and body.“What are you doing here?” I asked her with a deep breath.She moved her head to the other side, but the fire in her eyes told me she didn’t give a fuck to what I said or planned. A dry laugh escaped my lips and I took a step towards her. My one hand gripped her chin to face me, and with the other hand I removed the tape from her mouth.“Uh...” Valerie winced a little.“Shh…” I softly rubbed her lips with my fingers and leaned forwards. My eyes meeting hers. “What do you think you were doing, Wife?”Valerie leaned back a little, thinking she could escape me that way. “I am doing what I should ha

“I let Vivienne Sokolov go. She will be on the other side of Las Vegas by tomorrow morning.” Raven said in one breath.I watched him silently as he spoke. Vivienne Sokolov will be on the other side of Las Vegas. By tomorrow morning? Was he being serious? Was he telling the truth? But didn’t he say earlier to Maxim Sokolov that he would have his sister back by tomorrow morning?It was as if Raven could hear my thoughts, that he answered before I could ask him. “No, she will not be sent back to her brother.”“Then?” I asked in a low tone, my voice barely audible.Raven continued. “Axel will handle the matter.”Axel Stone? If Raven had sent her to Axel, she would probably be fine and safe for the time being. But… I felt worried for some reason. The name of Maxim Sokolov lingered in my mind, wondering how Raven was planning to handle him. “But, you said to Maxim that you will send her back tomorrow morning?”Raven shook his said with a devilish grin. “I lied.”“Wouldn’t you have to face h

The firelight inside the hall brightened his face, and his shadow stretched long behind him, making me feel a bit creepy like it wanted to pull me in. I took a step aside. My shoes made a soft sound on the stone floor. I wrapped my arms around myself to protect my heart that was beating so fast in my chest.Suddenly, Raven’s voice broke the silence. “Come, I will show you the rest of this house.”I didn’t want to follow him, but my legs moved anyway. He walked ahead confidently, his shoulders were broad, his wet hair was dripping down the back of his neck and shirt. He didn’t look bothered as the water tickled his spine.I swallowed my breath and trailed after him. He opened a heavy door that creaked a little, making a weird sound. He turned to me and said. “This is the sitting room.”The room was also lit with firelight. Two dark colored armchairs were placed near the fireplace. One bookshelf of floor to ceiling size was placed against the left wall. I walked closer instinctively to

Raven Blackwood’s POV:Same Afternoon:Valerie was gone.After the meeting with the Serpent group, I came straight to the mansion. But I didn’t see her anywhere. I looked for her through her room, my room, the living room, the kitchen, the library, and the pool. But she wasn’t anywhere.My heart beat wildly against my ribs. I couldn’t believe that I had merely left here for a few hours, and she was gone. Gone. Literally Gone!I stood still in the middle of the living room, my chest rising and falling way too fast. The air around me felt too heavy to breathe. I called for her name once, then twice, just in case she was hiding somewhere. But only silence echoed back at me.I ran a hand through my hair in frustration, and a curse escaped my breath. I should have told her before leaving. I should have locked the damn doors. How could she just leave without telling me where she was going?“Valerie!” I called for her again, louder this time, hoping she would magically appear from somewhere.
