A Dangerous Contract with the Mafia Boss 22
Plans and liesI was sitting in my office, trying to delicately analyze the documents in front of me, but it was impossible.Margaret occupied most of my thoughts. In reality, she had a lot to do with all the things happening lately in my life.She was the sister of the man who had betrayed me and had handed her over to the stupid Fernando who now, because of that damn video, had me by the balls.I got up from the chair, tired of not being able to concentrate, and decided to take a walk to clear my mind.I couldn't get out of my head how I found Margaret minutes before making love to her. She was crying inconsolably, and I had the strange feeling that maybe she was also hiding something from me, so I decided to go see Mike.When I entered the basement, I saw him lying on his back with an ice pack on his parts. I raised an eyebrow, surprised by that.He noticed my presence, so he threw the ice pack away from him and sat up with a grimace of pain to face me."What do you want, Russian?"

JealousyMargaretI was really bored in Nikolay's room.After making love so intensely, he had to go to work, and I stayed tossing and turning in bed. Tired of that, I showered and got dressed, but I needed to get out of those four walls and, in the process, analyze the situation.I was starting to like Nikolay to the point where I felt guilty for lying to him, to the point where Mike was beginning to take a back seat. I was aware that for Nikolay, it was just a game, but the worst part was that I enjoyed playing with him, and it was starting to consume me.One of the things that had me more blocked was that he had called me Margo for the first time, the way he preferred to call me, leaving that cold tone to refer to me.I couldn't go on like this any longer, and after asking one of his guards where Nikolay was, I went to find him in his office. On the way, I ran into the woman we had dinner with, who, if I remembered correctly, was named Jennifer, and according to my instincts, she

A proposal "You know, Margaret? I have to admit I'm surprised.""Why?""You're jealous, and that means you feel something special for me," his voice sounded excited, and my heart beat faster."Unfortunately," I admitted."I try to do things the best I can, Margaret.""I'm not sure about that, Nikolay," I swallow when I feel the warmth of his body in front of mine."Margo...""Yes?""Marry me."I turned to look at him incredulously, and unable to avoid it, I remembered that time he had asked me the same thing as a condition to pay off Mike's debt."Why are you asking me this?" I stop looking into his eyes; he can't be serious. "Nikolay, if this is another one of your jokes...""Why would it be?" he interrupts me with a harsh voice. "Margaret, I think it's the best option for us now, don't you realize?"I shook my head incredulously. What did he mean by "the best option"? It was clear that Nikolay didn't want to tell me anything, and that feeling I had before, that he was hiding someth

Deceit "What do you want, Russian?" I snapped irritably."How are you, Mike?" The concern in his voice grated on my nerves."We're perfectly fine. I just woke up, and my sister started asking questions," I said with a sharp voice. "Unfortunately, I'm afraid she remembers a lot about you.""I just want you to protect her.""And who protects us?""I have some of my men constantly watching over them.""Very well. And now, if you'll excuse me…" I hung up the phone, truly disgusted.Even though Margo and I were far away, Jennifer had to play her part in the plan. So, I called her to put pressure, and she mentioned she had a good plan in mind.I smiled and headed into the shower, ready to continue with my plan....NikolayI missed Margaret so much, especially after the incredible night I had spent with her...Well, after all we had been through and feeling like I was falling for her... Keeping her away from me felt like starting to drink arsenic. The worst part was forcing Mike to make he
A Dangerous Contract with the Mafia Boss 26
A dangerous game Nikolay Margaret's absence in my life was unbearable.I truly cared about her, and distancing her from all this was my way of seeking revenge against Fernando without causing her any harm. I just wanted to protect her, but I knew her well enough to realize she'd be thinking anything but the real reason.I also didn't feel right making her believe that everything that had happened was unreal, but I would do so until I resolved the matter.However, I hadn't thought about what I would do after solving all my problems.Well, I had thought about some things, but it could take a long time for me to settle the matter. What if she started to believe what Mike insisted on telling her to protect her? What if she fell in love with someone else?That was something I couldn't bear.It's true I wanted Margaret to do some jobs for me, and yes, I was eager to be with her, but no woman had made me feel this strongly. I hadn't even felt it with my former fiancée. That woman deceived

Having to pretend The truck stopped, and Bryan proceeded to untie me. When he did, he held me tightly so I wouldn't escape, and the back of the truck, where we were traveling, opened.Then I found someone I never thought I'd see again for a long time.Fernando looked at me with a smile, and when Bryan left me with him, Fernando pulled out a gun and shot Bryan in the middle of the forehead.I flinched a bit, but I knew it would happen, that Bryan would never have the money promised to him.I had some experience with mobsters, fortunately, I had also learned how to deal with them. However, I already knew, thanks to Nikolay, that Fernando had tried to deceive him, and he must have had a very good reason for allowing Fernando to do all this."I hope you had a good trip, Margaret," he said with a welcoming smile."I want an explanation," I demanded, arms crossed."I understand... Nikolay wanted to keep you away from him, and your return to Russia surprises him. There are people who need

Kidnapped Nikolay seemed quite burdened on the other end of the line, but as he began to explain the situation, I understood perfectly why.The last mission I did for him at Fernando's house had the consequence that he had obtained a video where we were intimate. But, most recently, Fernando had threatened to release them to the public, damaging my reputation and causing harm if I didn't comply with his whims.So, Nikolay's orders were clear. I had to check for any cameras in the room to avoid uncomfortable videos.He also told me not to sleep with Fernando, but I had to accept Fernando's proposal and endure it, although I found it challenging to avoid him in bed.Furthermore, I loved Nikolay and didn't see myself capable...Well, I had slept with Bryan, but that circumstance was out of spite, which I now knew was unjustified. But sleeping with the man who wanted to harm Nikolay was sacrilegious.I hung up the phone just in time, as Fernando entered without warning. He brought some f

Living in hell I decided it was time to truly rest, to fall asleep and avoid continuing with this game, which I hoped to be able to maintain only for the love I had for Nikolay, a love that sometimes I thought was quite undeserved, as it also started with a lie.Yes, perhaps when I sorted out that whole issue and now that my brother was in New York, away from the danger that Russia posed to him, I should talk to Nikolay and tell him the truth, even if it meant losing him forever.…FernandoI didn't care about the reason Margaret had told me she would marry me; the most important thing was that I had her by my side, right where I wanted her.It pained me to hurt Nikolay; I genuinely appreciated him as a friend, but all of this was for business. I hadn't even recorded Margaret making love to me; I just created a montage with a video, and I had no intention of publishing it. However, I wouldn't hesitate to release the video of Nikolay and her if the business didn't go well or if he tri

A New LifeMargaretIt had been a year since my brother's death. He was buried in the park where we used to go for walks when everything was fine, long before we discovered where he was getting the money that kept us afloat.Nikolay didn't understand why I still felt affection for my brother, despite everything he had done. I didn't even know myself, but I supposed I was grateful to him for taking care of me when we were alone in the world.However, now I was not alone and would never be again.It had been a very long year, but finally, Nikolay had left behind the mobster life he had led before he met me, although that didn't mean he couldn't afford the luxuries to support his son and me.In fact, our wedding had been postponed at my request. I wanted a peaceful atmosphere and to avoid any misfortune."What's wrong, darling?" Nikolay asked me with a concerned expression."It's nothing... I was just thinking..." I bit my lip, letting out a brief sigh."It's supposed to make you stop t

Recovering KatrinaMargaret The next morning, I changed my clothes and headed towards Katrina's room. It had been some time since I had set up her crib in the adjoining room, and I felt very strange without my little one nearby. Although thanks to her and John, Nikolay was back by my side, and this time I wasn't going to lose him for anything in the world.I had arranged to meet him in Central Park, but first I needed to feed and bathe Katrina.I entered her room and approached the crib with a smile... a smile that froze on my face when I saw the empty crib. I tried not to lose my mind, but it was very difficult.Then, I remembered the kind conversation I had with Mike, and something didn't add up.I had never wanted to harm anyone, but I knew that if I found the man I once called brother, it would be very difficult for me not to kill him for taking my daughter.I ran to the living room and called Nikolay, who answered on the second ring. I couldn't help but tell him the events hasti

Perverse PlanMikeI knew I had behaved like a pig with Margaret, but I was truly going crazy without her, and it had always been the two of us... until that damn Nikolay Ivanov got in the way.I had to lie that I was going to distance myself from them to get him off my back, but I also knew people and had my tricks to give his men the slip, and with the help of a favor, I was already on my way to New York.Margaret didn't want to see me, but I needed to confirm that the rumors about her giving birth to a daughter from that damn Russian mutt were true. I needed to see it with my own damn eyes.I glanced at the clock. It was lunchtime, and for sure my Margo was with that guy, living the life I had yearned for all my life.Since the confrontation we had that night in the park, I had avoided crossing paths with him by all means, and I even gave Margaret a choice, but I had to leave far away and now I was back.I couldn't believe what had happened; Margaret had gone through a lot, and the

A ProposalNikolayI had to travel to Russia following an important lead and sort out some matters.I missed my wife and daughter terribly, so I sent for them when I realized my affairs were going to delay me more than expected.We then spent another week in New York. I made sure to see Margaret every day when I had a free moment, as the rest of the day I was busy running errands and working like crazy to wrap up all my business.I didn't want to condemn my daughter to a bad life, nor Margaret, although I wasn't ready to break this news to her yet.During those days, I didn't encounter Mike again, and that was a relief. The bastard had begged me for mercy, and although I usually didn't give it to anyone, I thought of Margaret and how sad she would be if I ended her only brother, even if he was an asshole.It's not like I cared in the slightest about what he thought, but I had to keep an eye on him from now on, mainly because he loved Margaret, or so he said. Besides, I was sure that i

Family DinnerI didn't know Nikolay's brothers well, but the last time they all appeared together; it had been fun, crazy, and overwhelming at the same time.One thing all the Ivanov brothers had in common was their love for splurging money and, above all, arguing with each other over any little thing.Although they hadn't had the chance to travel yet, Nikolay's brothers had photos of Kat, and they had sent her beautiful gifts, although I had to return one or two.It seemed that Yarik thought a necklace and earrings of rubies were appropriate for a baby who hadn't even turned two yet.After he got the message, he deigned to copy his sisters' gifts and sent toys and clothes. The only brother who had held baby Kat in his arms was Levy. Nikolay acted as if he didn't care, but he couldn't completely hide the smile on his face.But my daughter hadn't met her grandparents yet, and that terrified me a little.Victoria and Alexey Ivanov, as always, looked like they came out of a magazine, but

The Baby On The Way"LOOK AT THE DAMN ROAD, NIKOLAY IVANOV!" she screamed with panic, almost deafening me."Is it time already? Are you giving birth?" I felt my heart in my mouth, Margaret seemed to be pushing and I didn't want to receive her under these circumstances. "Damn it, what do I do?!""Just keep driving! Ahhhh!" she screamed and the pained groan sent shivers down my spine.I felt like I was going to lose my damn mind.We raced to the emergency room and they almost had to put me on a gurney, but I didn't want to miss the birth of my daughter, so I had to behave like a true man and get up from there, having one of the most memorable episodes when I heard my baby's cry.My girl, a beautiful baby girl whom I could smother with kisses, starting with those chubby cheeks."You're strong and brave, baby," I kissed her sweaty forehead and she smiled at me. "I'm so proud of you.""Thank you for being with me and for staying for the delivery," she smiled half-heartedly, looking quite t

LeakageDays later"Sir, I have to inform you about a Code Orange."Damn."What's going on, Tyrell?" A shiver ran down my spine."Sir, I've been called by the police, where Mike was detained, reporting that he escaped and they haven't found him yet."The hair on the back of my neck stood up."Tyrell, how is that possible?" I pounded the table in frustration. "Call Abel and sort this out now."My mind raced; I couldn't believe it. He was sick. Would he come here?Margaret.I looked at Tyrell with wide eyes, and he nodded with concern. He knew what I was thinking."Have Luca be Margaret's bodyguard. I don't want her going anywhere alone, understood?" Tyrell nodded. "Alright, I want Luca with her. I don't know how I'll do it, but I'll try to convince him," I sighed and rubbed my temples.This would be a problem, I knew it. This was a sign that someone like me didn't deserve to be happy; eventually, the darkness of my past would catch up with me, preventing me from being happy."Yes, sir.

HitsNikolayAfter leaving Margaret with my sister and Kate, I couldn't help but feel uneasy, like a strange premonition in my stomach.I was sure it wasn't paranoia; it was a feeling I had often when danger was looming, and I hoped none of our enemies would dare to ruin my wife's vacation, because they would have to deal with me.I was capable of pulling out someone's teeth one by one if they interfered.I tried to relax and called Will; he could surely cover for me for a few days while I stayed close to Margaret, just in case.I left the hotel where I was staying, wanting to clear my mind and wondering if it was Jennifer or that idiot Mike lurking around to continue messing with our lives.I strolled leisurely, contemplating the scenery, but something interrupted my peaceful walk. Someone managed to block me and threw me to the ground roughly.Seeing that it was Mike, I counted to ten. I had to avoid hurting him by all means, or Margaret would be angry. We hadn't talked about what w

JealousMy brother smiled."Don't worry, if they're leaving, we'll go after them," he said sympathetically.I raised an eyebrow."Seriously? I thought you didn't repeat," I joked. "And now you want to go after a girl? What happened to 'if I've seen you once, I don't remember you'?""I like her like no other, but you know what women want from us," he chuckled.Being in our position was sometimes a curse. You never knew when or who might stab you in the back. Women's eyes lit up when they knew you had money."I want to take it slow with her, get to know her, see how things go," he nodded. He was right to take it slow if he wasn't sure."If she's still around tomorrow, we can meet up for dinner or drinks around 4," he patted my shoulder. "I haven't seen you in quite some time," he reminded me.My brother and I got along very well, but we had both been immersed in work, unable to find anything else that motivated us more. Now I had found it: my precious goddess, and I had seen her displea
