All Chapters of Sold to the mafia king: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

Livia's POVI step out from the air-conditioned office but I'm sweating. Popping the first button on my corporate shirt, I glance back at the door that's now closed to me, wondering how I did with the interview. I could barely get a word out thanks to nerves and I have no idea if I did well or not. I applied to be a junior analyst and this is my first interview since I graduated with my economics degree. Only three of us made it to this level and I saw the confident smirks on the two others' face when they came out of that room, nothing like this queasy feeling of uncertainty turning my stomach. I blow a piece of hair that escaped my ponytail out of my eyes and start for the door, I should start preparing my next application because I’m pretty sure I flunked this one-I'm barely out of the building when my phone pings with a message. Covering my eyes from the glare of the summer sun, I peered at the message and my jaw drops. "I made it!" I screech, startling a woman making her way i

Livia’s POVThis is the most barbaric thing I have ever witnessed, and worse I’m the piece of meat on display. I open my eyes and like a scene straight out of some Neanderthal, slavery era movie, the first man raises his card and the auctioneer hoots. “There! I see a hundred million. Do we have two hundred?”In the white flowing gown under the glare of the spotlight, I might as well be naked and I resist the urge to smooth away the gooseflesh rising on my arms. Another man raises his hand and the auctioneer claps dramatically. “We have two hundred from the gentleman at the back. Do I hear three hundred?”There is no way this is legal. Even though I know I am powerless, my mind screams with indignation and I suppress the urge to run for the nearest police station. Even if I could get there without these goons hauling me back, something tells me even the police won’t save me, Rafe Lennox is a local terrorist and rumors say that he has the police on a payroll. And even if I’m able to g

Livia's POVI'm on my best behavior for the rest of the day. I eat the food Rose brings me and ask her innocent questions about the mafia. Unfortunately for me, it seems the mafia does not sleep. While ‘normies’ activities are in full swing during the day, the mafia slows down, in recovery from the last night or preparing for the next night and when the rest of the world are sound asleep at night, the ones that belong in the dark come out to play. Fortunately for me, that means that Nikolai Volkov and his men will be away at work. It will be I, Rose and the usual staff of the house remaining here which gives my plan that much of a success boost. I cannot possibly attempt escaping in the day, it must be at night and it must be this night. I spend the rest of my day by the window, trying to look bored as I gaze out and survey the sprawling compounds. We are the only residents as far as my eyes can see, and I wonder what the possibilities are that I was brought to an island while I was
