A Dangerous Contract with the Mafia Boss 82
Being better for herI looked sternly at Jennifer for the scene she was causing, and she looked away.I felt Margaret's immediate tension as she looked at me with her beautiful furrowed brow. Her friend wasn't far behind, though thankfully she remained silent.They had definitely noticed the situation.I could only squeeze my wife's shoulder until she calmed down. Nothing would happen."Goodbye, Jennifer," Margaret bid farewell to her, so we could continue on our way.Sasha left in the other car we had called for, not wanting to be a "third wheel," and after giving her my credit card, she hopped away to the vehicle, waving goodbye to us with a huge smile.Margaret, meanwhile, remained silent and sullen.The gears in her head were working incessantly, surely asking herself thousands of questions. I wanted to tell her not to worry and that she was the only one for me.We headed to Coco Tango, she lost in her thoughts, staring out the window. She looked beautiful, though a bit serious. T

Hard RevelationIn the distance, I could see the buildings of a beautiful city. He requested permission to land, and minutes later, we touched down at a helipad. He helped me down, and when I set foot on the ground, he hugged me tightly."Oh my God, that was amazing, Nikolay," I smiled.He took my hand and led me to the elevator, where he entered a code. We were in a luxurious building, which surely belonged to him as well.The elevator opened, and a man was at the entrance to greet us."Hello, Trelew, this is Margaret Queen, my wife. Margaret, he's my bodyguard and head of security.""Pleasure to meet you, Miss Queen," Trelew was polite to me, although he seemed a bit uncomfortable, and I began to wonder why."Likewise, please call me Margaret," I was also polite to him, and he smiled at me.Later, we met someone who seemed to be one of his men, who asked to speak with him in his study, not without introducing me as his wife."Pleasure to meet you, miss, I'm Gale," he was very kind,

Faking a deathMikeI looked at Berta in front of me; she seemed bored with the situation.While since childhood, all my teachers made sure to let me know that I didn't know shit, deep down I knew I knew many things. I knew how to turn $20 into $2000 in a matter of hours.I also knew how to hide important things; from my mother's favorite crystal vase to money not exactly legal, spread in small amounts all over the world.Since I met Berta, I had also learned things from her.Her style changed every three days; it had been two days since she started with her gothic style, the day after tomorrow she would probably change her black hair for a red one and try to imitate the damn Little Mermaid. I also knew that she only had one trusted man: Frank. I didn't know much about him; I only knew that he would die to protect Berta; I could see it in his eyes; he would do anything.The first few days were shitty; all I did was scream and curse Nikolay Ivanov for fucking up my sister's life. I scr

ConfessionsMargaret"Margaret, baby, how do you expect me to explain if you won't let me in?" Nikolay's harsh voice reached me through the door, against which I was leaning.He killed her.He. Killed. Her.Nikolay had been talking to me through the door for half an hour, asking me to let him in, and I had been successfully ignoring him for exactly that same amount of time.Well, I wouldn't call it successful, but I was managing it, which was the same... or close enough."You have to let me explain! You don't know everything, I haven't told you everything. Please, Margaret, listen to me!" I heard his voice, now desperate.His words only fueled my anger."That's the damn problem, Nikolay!" I stood up and yelled with all the accumulated rage. "You always say you're going to tell me everything and you give me piece after piece. You're not a damn puzzle!""And what the hell was I supposed to say?" Now he was yelling too. "Margaret, I met you, and a few weeks later you were pregnant and yo

Turning PointsMargaret"He's what?!" Sasha's scream deafened me."Shhh," I hushed her through the phone. "He said he's in love with me.""What was your reaction?"I felt my cheeks burn at the memory."I took off my clothes and practically raped him to distract him. Am I a bad person?""Not even a little. Where is he?""Sleeping, he's even snoring a bit. He's adorable.""When he wakes up, he'll want an answer to his words.""I don't know what my answer is," I bit my lip uncomfortably."How do you not know?!" I closed my eyes as Sasha shouted again. "What do you feel when you're with him?""I don't know how to describe it without it sounding weird," I grimaced."Say it even if it sounds weird.""It feels right, like my whole life has been about simply finding him," I sighed and unconsciously smiled."Like it's meant to be?""Yeah," I affirmed, as if Sasha had just turned on a light in my head. "Like it's meant to be.""And do you believe it is?""Is what?""Meant to be.""I'm sure it i

Urgent PlansMargaret"Darling, where are you taking me?" I asked softly to Nikolay, his knuckles were white from the force he put on the steering wheel of the truck.He had just sent a message asking me to come out and I had accompanied him. I had been sitting in silence for the past fifteen minutes and the atmosphere of the place made me too nervous to speak."Do you remember what I said about Mike? About saying goodbye to him?" he asked with a cold tone, filled with tension."I remember," I replied almost in a whisper, as the truck came to a stop in front of an unremarkable café.Nothing special, except for my brother sitting at a table, overlooking the street."Now is the time. Go, say goodbye. I would like to give you all the time in the world, but we can't afford too much time, we need to move fast."I only realized that tears were streaming down my face when Nikolay quickly wiped his fingers over my cheeks."Thank you, darling," I couldn't help but lean in to kiss him and hug h

Katia IvanovaMargaretI hadn't spoken the whole way home, and Nikolay made no attempt to start a conversation about how it had gone or what had happened, but my tear-streaked face surely said it all.The only thing Nikolay had done was put his hand on my leg, occasionally tracing circles with his fingers.That had happened once we hadn't parked, and now we were getting into the elevator, still without a word exchanged.I didn't even pay attention to my surroundings as I followed Nikolay out of the elevator, still not paying attention until he spoke and clearly cursed."Damn it, don't tell me."Once I looked in the direction he was also looking, I was left dumbfounded.An incredibly beautiful woman was sitting, leaning against the door of our home, apparently asleep with a large black suitcase beside her.She had all her hair tied up in a poorly made bun, causing her blond strands to spill over her face.The next thing I noticed was the sportswear she was dressed in; she was covered i

FarewellKatia smiled as she opened the wine bottle and took a swig straight from the neck.We proceeded to talk about trivial things, like how she wanted to be a celebrity stylist and personal shopper. I shared my experience at university and how I wished I could have a full-time job.That night, I slept with a smile.---"Margaret, Margaret, wake up. We need to get out of here now!" Nikolay's abrupt movements made me open my eyes.I looked at him, wearing a black t-shirt and gray jeans. The next thing in my field of vision was Katia, quickly hopping into black jeans, matching the green sweater she was wearing."What's going on?" I asked as Nikolay placed a pair of jeans on my legs, along with a navy blue shirt.Without asking further questions, I pulled the jeans up my legs, hastily put on a bralette since I didn't have a bra with me, and Nikolay placed black boots on my feet that fit perfectly."Fifteen minutes ago, three Nazi leaders died in an explosion. I was supposed to have mo

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
