Chapter: 255Chapter 255Riley Burke ~•~I summoned every last ounce of strength in my body and dragged myself to the door.Even if he wanted to trap me, the least he could do was provide me with food and water, so I wouldn’t die of hunger and thirst. As I got close to the door, I banged on the door multiple times, yelling at the top of my voice for someone to open up. I spent about five minutes hitting the door but nobody answered the door. I didn’t give up though. I kept on hitting the door until I finally heard footsteps coming in the direction of the room. I moved back a bit as I waited in anticipation to see who would open the door. They twisted the door knob and slowly pushed the door open. It was the same man who had given me a glass of water the first time. “Please can I have something to eat and drink?” I pleaded, not caring about the fact that I had been kidnapped. My stomach rumbled whenever I realized that I had been there for two days without food. I needed to eat something a

Chapter: 254Chapter 254Olivia ~•~After finding out that Riley’s car had been at the gas station for over two days, the detectives told us to hold on as they requested access to the CCTV from the first day. Alexander tried his best to comfort me but I couldn’t stop crying. Riley wouldn’t just dump her car at a random gas station. The situation was even worse than I had imagined. I couldn’t help but wonder how my baby was feeling. I couldn’t help but wonder where she was. I prayed silently that she was okay and we would find her soon. Amanda, Maya, Rowan, and Jason were blowing up my phone but I couldn’t bring myself to respond to any of them. I didn’t want to believe that my daughter was missing, so I didn’t want to have to tell them that she was actually missing. After what felt like an eternity, the detective came outside again. “Come in.” He gestured for us to come into his office with him. When we got inside, he showed us footage playing on his computer. My hands flew to my mouth as I

Chapter: 253Chapter 253Riley Burke ~•~I started moving back slowly as he walked into the room. I never liked him. I never imagined I would even see him again. What did he want from me? Why did he take me? What did he plan on doing with me? I screamed as he came closer, a bloodcurdling scream. “Get away from me, you monster!” I yelled at the top of my voice as tears flowed down my face, as though it was a waterfall. “It’s nice to see you again. After so many years.” He said as his lips curled into a mischievous smile. “You’ve grown into a fine young woman. I mean, it was hard for me to recognize you at first.” “What do you want from me, Maxim?” I asked, trying to steady my voice. “Please, let me go!” I pleaded, my tone desperate. Yes, Maxim was the person who kidnapped me. I had forgotten about his existence and was shocked to see him come inside the room. Maxim was one of my mother’s boyfriends who turned out to be a fraud. Rowan and I never liked him. We also made it clear that

Chapter: 252Chapter 252Olivia ~•~It had been over two days and we still hadn’t heard from Riley. The last time I spoke to her, she agreed to come back to the house. I canceled everything I had planned for that day just to wait for her, but she never showed up. I tried calling her numerous times but her number was unavailable. I made sure to call everyone I knew to ask if she was at their house, but they claimed that they hadn’t seen her. I didn’t even know how to feel. Did she ghost us again just to teach us a lesson or was she actually hurt? I was feeling restless the first day and decided to stay calm, hoping she would reach out later, but she didn’t. I was able to get some sleep the first time but on the second night, I couldn’t even close my eyes for up to five minutes. I was up thinking about my daughter. Her friends from school claimed they hadn’t heard from her either. Even Harper, her closest friend, had no idea where she was. She said Riley told her that she was on her way back

Chapter: 251Chapter 251Riley Burke ~•~Everywhere was stark dark! The last thing I remember was when I stopped to get gas at the gas station. I honestly couldn’t remember anything else. My head was spinning and I couldn’t think properly. I had no idea where I was or how I even got there. My eyes were open but the room was dark and I couldn’t see anything. I tried to move my hands around but I couldn’t touch anything. It was as though I was in an empty room. The cold ground sent shivers through my spine. I had never felt that way before. I tried to stand up and make my way to an exit, but I couldn’t even get up. My legs were hurting. In fact, my entire body was hurting. What was actually going on? I searched my pockets to see if I could find my phone. I had kept it there after I called my brother to send me some gas money. My heart started racing as I couldn’t find my phone. I still had no idea where I was. I was extremely confused by what was happening. Maybe it was a dream. I deci

Chapter: 250Chapter 250Riley Burke ~•~What was I thinking about lying to Amanda? Of course, my mother would call her to tell her about what was happening. I didn’t think anything through, I just did the first thing that came to my mind. I felt bad as I saw her disappointed look. I shouldn’t have lied to her. I didn’t even want to watch the movie anymore. I couldn’t look her in the face. I just wanted to sleep until the next day. Everyone thought I was missing but my father didn’t even bother calling me. I felt so terrible. Didn’t he love me anymore? I just wanted to cry myself to sleep. When I was done bathing, I dried my body with a clean towel and changed into the nightwear that Amanda had handed over to me earlier. I decided to sit for a while before heading to the living room. My mind raced with different thoughts as I sat down on the bed. Was there any possibility that my father would have an open mind about Mason? Was our argument ever going to end? Was Mason even worth all the

Chapter: 98. Celebratory Sex Noah ~•~Aiden picked me up as soon as he saw my text. He took me home and I got cleaned up. I was worried about the way I felt good about my mother’s death but it had to be done. Katie stopped by the house to drop off my car and necklace before I even arrived. She sent me a text saying I should call her the next day. Aiden stayed in my room while I was in the shower. “So you’re happy now?” He asked when I got out of the bathroom. “I feel guilty taking their mother away from them but I had to do it,” I admitted, wiping my face with my face towel. “Anyways, I’m happy that my father has gotten justice for his death.” “I’m glad it’s over and I’m glad you didn’t get hurt,” Aiden whispered, pulling me closer to him. She was a hunter and everything could have gone wrong if she had also tried to kill me. “I’m glad it’s over too,” I said, leaning into his chest. “So let’s celebrate,” Aiden suggested, a mischievous expression registered on his face.I knew what he had in mind and I didn

Chapter: 97. Disfigured Noah ~•~It had been over a month since the whole Katie and Jordan drama went down. Our college exams were also approaching. Katie decided she wasn’t going to let Jordan’s betrayal bring her down. She broke up with him and tried her best to avoid him whenever she was in school. Dimitri and Jessica started dating and she was practically at the house most of the time. Dimitri also spent a lot of time in Sparkle Falls. Ethan reached out to me and asked to spend a day with me. He wanted me to meet the rest of my siblings. Getting to know the strangers who shared the same DNA with me wasn’t a bad idea. Even if our worlds were different, it wouldn’t hurt to get to know them. I agreed to meet them during the weekend and the weekend was finally here. Their town was just an hour's drive away from Hawkins. Katie offered to accompany me there and to be by my side in case anything happened. It was still very early and I decided to spend my morning at the gym. I wanted to work out. I hadn’

Chapter: 96. Betrayed Noah ~•~“Katie! Make it stop.” I yelled at Katie who had a wicked grin spread across her face. Aiden rushed to Angela to help her from the ground. After a few seconds, Katie stopped the migraines and Angela was back to normal. Dimitri and Aiden were pleading with Katie to stop while I took Angela to the car. I didn’t know what to do, the only thing I could think of was to call Scott. I pulled out my phone from my pocket and dialed his number. After trying about three times, I was about to give up, but I decided to try one more time. Fortunately enough, he picked up. “Hey, Noah. How are you?” “Scott, I’m not okay,” I said, my voice laced with fear. “What’s going on?” He asked. “It’s Katie, she’s behaving strangely,” I replied, running my hands through my hair. “She wants to take the moonstone from its original position.” “What?” Scott said, his voice laced with fear. “Why does she want to do something like that? It means putting the lives of the crescent moon pack in danger.”

Chapter: 95. Hypnotic Noah ~•~“Katie, you won’t do that.” My expression became serious but Katie looked so determined. “Do you know what it means? Random people would die. I would die, Aiden would die..” “But it wasn’t a problem when the Malley witches died?” She asked, giving me a disdainful look. I was shocked and I couldn’t believe we were even having such a conversation. “Katie, what has gotten into you?” I asked, a puzzled expression registered on my face. “Nothing, I just want justice for my people.” She said. “Girl, you don’t even know what they look like,” I replied with a scoff. A part of me felt she was just bored and joking because there was no way in hell she would take that moonstone and put everyone’s life in danger. Katie didn’t say anything else to me, she just walked out of the room. I didn’t know what she was up to, so I followed her. When we got downstairs, everyone could tell we just had a serious argument. They all stared at us with concern etched on their faces. Katie wanted

Chapter: 94. Rightful Family Noah ~•~After a short stroll, we arrived at Katie’s front door. I knocked on the door multiple times before someone answered the door. It was Dahlia who answered the door. She was so excited to see Aiden. “You barely hang out here anymore.” She complained as she engulfed him in a tight hug. Dahlia was right. I couldn’t remember the last time Aiden hung out with us in Katie’s house. It was because he became the alpha and had so many responsibilities. It was also because we’ve been going through much the past few months and everyone was so busy. “I’m sorry about that, it’s not on purpose.” Aiden apologized as we made our way to the living room. “Thank goodness you’re here, Noah.” Sophia rushed to hug me as soon as she saw me. “Katie has been acting like a bitch.”I gently placed my hands over her mouth when I heard those words. “Don’t talk about your big sister in such a vile manner.” Sophia was still too young to be using the bitch word as a part of her vocabulary.“I’m sorry.”

Chapter: 93. Katie’s Behavior Noah ~•~I felt a mix of emotions and I didn’t know what to do or say. Aiden must have noticed my reaction because he took my hand in his and gave it a gentle squeeze. “Let’s focus on getting the necklace first.” He whispered. “We can deal with the rest later.” I nodded, wiping my eyes with the back of my hands to prevent the tears welled in my eyes from streaming down my face. Aiden handed my mother his phone so she could put her son’s number. When she was done, he took it back from her and dialed the number. After a few rings, a male voice answered. “Hello.” He said. “Hey, I’m Aiden. Your mother is here and she has something to tell you.” “Is she okay? Please don’t hurt her.” The boy pleaded, his tone laced with worry and fear for his mother. Aiden didn’t respond to him, he just signaled my mother to speak to the boy while he still held the phone. “Ethan, you have to come to Hawkins as soon as possible with that necklace.” She instructed him. “The one that belongs to my s

Wild Desires: Mafia’s Secret Bond
“Answer me, Nessa. Do you want to kiss me again?” When I finally opened my mouth to answer, Vito interrupted me. “And before you do, you should know the power your words hold, so think very well before you do.”
I wasn’t ashamed to admit that I’d fantasized about it a few nights prior.
“I do.” I finally answered, my words just as breathless as his.
“You are certain that you want to do this?”
I almost smiled. He was supposed to be a big bad mafia boss, but there he was making sure that I really wanted him to fuck me. Without saying anything else, I held the lapels of his shirt and brought his lips down on mine.

Chapter: Chapter Eighty FiveNessa Sims ~•~ I hurriedly went to the car without even changing back to my normal clothes because the twins convinced me to leave as soon as possible. I just removed the black heels and changed into the slides I had on earlier. We all rushed to the car and I started driving to the location Ellie had sent to me. On the way there, I tried calling her severally to check up on her but there was no answer. I silently prayed she wasn’t in serious danger. We finally got to the place and it was a restaurant. Maybe she was just drunk and had done something stupid. I pulled into the driveway and hurriedly parked the car. As I stepped out, I noticed I had been there before. It was the Rezdora restaurant where Vito and I had our first date. ‘Weird.’ I thought to myself and went to the entrance with the girls. Was she with a man? And how come everyone needed my help today? I shoved my thoughts aside and focused on saving Ellie. As the twins and I walked into the restaurant, we were greete

Chapter: Chapter Eighty Four Nessa Sims ~•~I’d been curious the whole day because Vito said he had a surprise for me but refused to tell me what it was even when I spent almost an hour begging him to tell me. I couldn’t think of what it would be but I knew it was going to be good. I had to go pick up Liam for school, so I was getting ready for that. The twins had gone to NYU with Vito to make some preparations for when they would resume. They barely had two weeks before they were going to start school. It was just Tommy, Tremani, and me in the house. I grabbed my car keys and headed downstairs. On my way out, I ran into Tremani who couldn’t stop smiling as he saw me. “Hey, how are you doing?” I asked, giving him a sly grin. “I’m good, you’re heading out.” He pointed out, trying to keep a straight face. “Yes, I’m going to pick Liam up,” I replied. “I’ll see you later.” I gave him a suspicious look and walked out the door. I knew he was up to something but I couldn’t quite figure out what. It definitely ha

Chapter: Chapter Eighty ThreeNessa Sims ~•~I had been restless the past few days because I was dealing with Liam and the court case. Liam had to move in with me for a while because the judge was going to visit me in order to make his decision. Liam also spent a day with Benjamin which he later described as the worst day of his life. Nothing bad happened but he made it obvious that he wasn’t comfortable with his father. He didn’t want to go at first but I pleaded with him as I dropped him off. After everything, we finally went to the court for the final hearing. Liam was present this time and both lawyers continued their arguments from where they had stopped the last time. Some hours later, the judge finally said he had come to a conclusion. I kept my fingers crossed, waiting to hear his final verdict. His next words were going to have a huge impact on the rest of my life. "After careful consideration, I have come to a decision," he said, his voice solemn. "The ruling I make will be in the best interests of

Chapter: Chapter Eighty TwoVito Giancana ~•~I froze for a moment as I heard Palma say she saw Alessandro and Matteo. They were meant to be dead, I burnt those sons of a bitch alive. I watched the building burn. Or did they find a way to escape? It made a little sense because I didn’t see their dead body. Anyone could have easily found a way to escape. I didn’t think about it back then. I would have shot them in the head and watched their lifeless body fall to the ground. “Are you sure you saw them?” I asked Palma with a serious look on my face. She looked so excited talking about them. If only she knew what they had done to our father. Thomas who wasn’t present in the living room earlier came in and answered with a worried look on his face. “Yes, one hundred percent sure.” I had told him about what I had done to the brothers and he was fully aware they took the life of my father. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. The thought of them still being alive and walking on the streets didn’t sit

Chapter: Chapter Eighty OneNessa Sims~•~“You’ll be okay.” Vito gently squeezed my hands as we walked into the courthouse. It was finally the day of Liam’s custody hearing. My mum was going to join us later. It was very unnecessary to be going through all that stuff because Liam was okay where he was. With everything going on, I couldn’t help but think they would bash me for leaving my son with my mum. Some would say I abandoned him because I couldn’t take care of him.Benjamin, on the other hand, wasn’t in any position to be with Liam either. He just came out of prison and didn’t have the financial capacity to take care of Liam. At least, that was what I thought. I shoved away my thoughts and made my way to one of the seats. Some people were already seated. My eyes met Benjamin’s eyes who was sitting with some members of his family at the other side of the room. I cast him an angry, dirty look before averting my gaze back to the judge who had arrived. I’d never actually been to a court before, so apart fro

Chapter: Chapter EightyNessa Sims ~•~The next time I opened my eyes, I saw myself in Vito’s room. I rubbed my eyes to see clearly and I found that Vito was already sitting on the bed. “Look who’s finally up.” He turned to me when I tapped his back. “How long did I sleep for?” I asked. I had no idea if it was still the same day. “What were you thinking? Taking alcohol?” He ignored my question and asked. “Don’t blame me, I needed it.” My head was hurting but I felt a little bit better. “Is it a new day?” I asked again. “Yes, you were passed out the whole night.” He placed his hands on my head, trying to feel my temperature. He picked up a glass from the side drawer and gave it to me. “What’s this?” I asked, slowly taking the glass from him. “It’ll help with your hangover,” he responded. “Have a drink.” He said and went back to his phone. I sat up and looked at the green substance inside the cup and almost puked but I had to drink it if I wanted to feel better. I closed my eyes and gulped down the co
