All Chapters of Accidentally Kidnapping The Mafia Boss : Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

KATHERINE My heart was heavy as I lifted the glass to my lips. It was too early for some tequila, but it was the only thing that was keeping me inches away from running mental, from not acting impulsively on the rage that was eating me up from the inside out.The harder I tried not to think about it, the more persistent the memory was bent on tormenting me. Silas had told me that he would be getting married.I had instantly laughed so hard that I almost bent over from the force of it. It was my first reaction. It had to be a big joke. Nothing more. It was impossible that it could be anything more or so, I thought. I had been with this man for three years. Invested my time, invested my love, and invested my future too to the point that I couldn't phantom my future without him in it. There was no future without him. I had allowed myself to get pregnant twice when he excitedly told me that he was ready to start a family and settle down with me.I had gotten rid of it when he told me t

KATHERINE Unfamiliar green eyes stared at me. My heart paused in a state of frenzy as I stared at them. I froze. Whatever I had been about to say died on the tip of my tongue. Davis stood beside me. He looked as perplexed as I was. I turned towards him. I was definitely going to murder him. “What the fuck have you done?” I spat. If I was filling rage then. Then there was certainly no word available to describe whatever I was feeling now. “We followed your instructions. He was exactly the way you described him to be and he was where you said he was, at the flower shop,” David stuttered a bit in his words. It was obvious whatever confidence he had disappeared right out the window.“Buying flowers for my sick mother. Apparently, I didn't know that was such a crime,” the man said.We snapped out of whatever argument that Davis and I were having and I turned to raise an eyebrow at him. It was then that I took my time to really look at him.My gaze was fixated on his strong jaw lines a

KATHERINE The first thing I could register was the constant pounding in my head. My throat was dry, and breathing could be considered as an exercise. The darkness behind my eyesight was enough to send me into panic. With the way my bones were screaming in protest. There was absolutely nothing that I could do about it. I'm never laying my finger on another bottle of alcohol ever again. Don't lie to yourself. You know you're going to pick it back up at the slightest chance that your sense recovery. The surface of my bed felt so warm. I wasn't sure that I wanted to stand up. Not if I could help it. From the looks of it, I was going to remain in it for a long time. It took me a moment to register the silence before I heard footsteps. My brows furrowed in confusion. Nobody was supposed to be in here apart from me. Maybe I was plunged into some sort of dream. My delusions were beginning to get the better of me. The effects of the alcohol might not be waving off after all. I closed m

KATHERINE My heart threatened to burst out of my chest as I struggled to look at him. The difference in our heights made me feel so irrelevant. It made me feel so small and at the end of the day. There was nothing that I could say or do about it. I couldn't tell if it was fear or if it was intrigue, but my heart clenched with something that I couldn't entirely decipher as he towered over me effortlessly.I was tempted to beg him to just give me a few minutes. But apparently, my pride was more than my desperation as I looked at him, and at the end of the day, the word ‘Please’ remained lodged in the back of my throat.I closed my eyes and sighed as I tried to gather my thoughts together.“What is it? Cat suddenly got your tongue,” he leaned in further. He made no effort to conceal the mockery in his voice.Even though it stung, he didn't need to know that. I fought very hard to maintain a neutral expression. “I'm not sure I know what you're talking about,” I leaned my head to the si

KATHERINEThe ringing in my ears faded slowly, like smoke clearing after a fire.Silas’s voice cut through first, “Katty—” His breath was ragged, his hand pressed against his arm where blood seeped through his sleeve. Not gushing, not fatal, but enough to leave him pale and furious.I stumbled toward him. “You’re hurt—”“I’m fine.” The lie was sharp, biting. He jerked his arm out of my reach, his jaw clenching. His eyes, though, weren’t on me. They were locked on the stranger.The stranger stood there, unnervingly composed, as though the chaos hadn’t touched him. His chest rose slowly, steady, his hands bare of blood, his gaze fixed on me like I was the only person in the room.“You should take care of that,” he said to Silas, almost casual.Silas’s nostrils flared. “And leave her with you?”The stranger tilted his head. “She doesn’t seem as scared as you want her to be.”My lips parted, but nothing came out. He was right, I wasn’t trembling, I wasn't screaming. I should’ve been. Inst
