A Dangerous Contract with the Mafia Boss 40
An important meetingNikolayI slumped into the office chair and adjusted my tie.Damn stupid Fernando García, the son of a bitch messed things up big time.If only Margaret wasn't pregnant, things would be so different. I probably would have just let the Germans do whatever the hell they pleased with him.That bastard had to do business with them; it could have been another mafia, but no. It had to be those damn Germans."Sir?" I raised my gaze to meet Matt's, one of my men."The brother is in the basement; we thought you'd want to handle the interrogation."I nodded before standing up and leaving my tie on the desk. They always ended up stained with blood every time I had to take care of these things.I descended the stairs to the basement; there were several rooms, all soundproof, although it's not like anyone could hear. No one would say anything or call the police.They never did.***"Bring everyone to the meeting room; I have something to say."Will, my right-hand man, grimaced

A new friendMargaret"Miss Queen?" Sara's gentle movements and voice woke me up."Mmmm?" It was the best I could do for her. My throat was dry, and I couldn't do much."You have visitors."I frowned. Visitors? Sasha didn't even know where I was; I hadn't been able to talk to her yet. I couldn't think of who could be visiting me."Who?" I managed to ask."Miss Melisa Volkov.""Are you sure she's not here to see Nikolay?" I asked, unable to hide the bitterness in my voice.I didn't like the idea of women coming to see Nikolay at the house where I was staying against my will. Not bringing women would be the minimum respect he could give."Darling, Mrs. Volkov is married to his right-hand man, besides, he considers her like a sister. She's not here for that. She's here to help you adapt to your new life. I'm sure you'll find a friend in her."I had to admit I liked what she was saying. I arrived in Nikolay's world abruptly and unexpectedly. I didn't know what to expect, and I liked the i

Overprotective“Max said you received the accounting books,” he brought up a topic I wasn't expecting right now.“Yes, I'm going over them and analyzing,” I cleared my throat, feeling a nagging sensation in my throat.“You know about the gang meeting. Are Sariah and Melissa helping you?”“They're being very kind to me, although I don't see the need for…” I began to say, but he interrupted.“Sweetie, dresses, preparations, and all that stuff is women's business, I don't know about that, but Sariah and Melissa are experts, I trust both of them, and all the other women get along with them and respect them, and the members' girlfriends don't even dare to speak to them. With them instructing you, you'll be fine.”“I like them,” I smiled involuntarily.“They're good, that's why I sent you with them, honey. Hand me over to Melisa, okay? I'll see you at home later; we'll talk about something pending, okay?”“Okay,” I murmured before handing the phone to Melisa, who answered, and within a seco

The Secret AngerI opened my eyes at the insistent noise, got out of bed, and grabbed the robe from the closet before heading out to find the source of the commotion.Loud growls full of fury became clearer and clearer as I approached a room, which I believed to be an office... or so Sara said.Although a part of me screamed that I shouldn't approach, that I should walk away from it right now, my stupid self kept getting closer.The door was ajar, allowing me to see, as I approached, a scene I wished I hadn't seen.Nikolay was seriously out of control; I watched him slam his fists against the wooden desk, and I heard it crack.After that, he went for a shelf with glass doors; his fist pierced the glass, and then he continued with the rest until he lifted the shelf from the floor and dropped it onto the ground.The deafening noise wasn't what disturbed me; it was the blood dripping onto the floor from his knuckles; it was what made my heart race faster, but it was his eyes filled with

Trap the ShitSuddenly he pointed down the hallway.Melisa's eyes darkened before she looked at me, and I instinctively approached her."Baby, she's Aunt Margaret, she'll take care of you and check your wound while I talk to your mommy, okay?"He just nodded, and Melisa stood up before heading to the room down the hall. Needless to say, I had no doubt she wasn't going to speak at all."Let me see that," I murmured, stepping closer to the boy who showed me the wound, shyly.There were several scratch marks along his hand and part of his forearm, some deep enough to draw blood and others not bleeding but would heal nonetheless.I hoped Melisa would kick the stupid bitch of a mother's ass; the bitch deserved a good beating.What kind of mother does that to her child?"It hurts, it hurts a lot," his words mingled with sobs and tears.He reached out to me, arms extended, asking to be picked up. I held him in my arms, rocking him gently, and heard noises from the room Melisa had entered.Sh

Unexpected AttackMargaretI looked in awe at the house in front of me. It wasn't as big as Nikolay's, but it was definitely more modern and had been recently renovated."Nice, huh? It's Sariah and her husband Mijail's house. She's waiting for us."I looked at Faddei, who was still in my arms, now playing with my hair. I was sure he was going to end up tangling it, but it didn't matter as long as he didn't cry; it was fine with me.I looked puzzled at Melisa, seeing the toys and dolls scattered around the front yard, next to a small princess castle."What's that?" I asked Melisa. She smiled."For Sariah's daughter. She's just about to turn one in 6 months, but Mijail was really excited."I smiled at her words."I didn't know Sariah had a daughter," I commented."Sariah is a good woman, I'm sure she loves her daughter, but not everyone has the same way of loving.""Why do you say that?" I asked, confused."You'll see."The door of the grand house opened, and out came Sariah, carrying a

Being Able to Protect Her"I know, I can perfectly imagine what he said he was going to do without you having to relive it. I know it's hard, but you have to get up and pack, enough for at least two weeks, we can't stay here, Margaret.""There's blood," she whispered. "On me, on my face. I don't want the blood, I need to clean myself, please."I sighed heavily before looking at her."Darling, those men came with only one task: to kill me and you too. What that man said he would do, do you think it was a lie? Do you think it wasn't serious? That he wouldn't take our child out of your body and then kill you? Because they will, Margaret, and if we don't move more, these damn bastards will come back and come even harder this time."When I realized that all I could do was watch her silently cry, I wiped her face with my shirt."Men?" she asked, now in a whisper. "You said men, were there more than one?”"One was at the entrance, taking things out of his car. There was a damn ladder there;

Necessary words "Do you have more information for me?""Not yet," he said.I know that cautious tone in his voice, like he's bracing for a storm.“Are you telling me you don't have more information about the bastards who broke into my house armed, with the intention of killing both me and my wife?”“Did you hear the part where I said ‘yet,’ you asshole?”“I just heard you and left the city and home because of your damn advice; I feel like I ran away like a scared little kid running away from his father.”“You never ran from your father, idiot; he beat the shit out of you, but you didn't run, not once.”“Unlike you, asshole. You ran from your father and now from your wife,” I provoked him, seeing if I could get him angry.“You know damn well that my parents beat the shit out of both of us equally, asshole,” there was no anger in his voice.There never was.“What do I do?”“About what?”“Margaret, she's fucking terrified, I don't know what to do, she's got this blank expression and she

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
