A Toy For The Ruthless Mafia Lord Chapter 11
Chapter 11The moment Lucifer stepped into the room the air thickened with tension. His towering frame was silhouetted and his icy eyes swept over the scene before him as he assimilated what had just happened. Katherine was curled on the floor, she was trembling and her hands clutched frantically at the torn edges of her blouse. Her cheeks were streaked with tears and her disheveled appearance spoke volumes about the humiliation she had just been through. His jaw ticked. Natalia froze on the spot and the confident smirk she had on slipped as Lucifer’s eyes zeroed in on her. The other dancers, who had been laughing moments ago suddenly shifted uncomfortably under the intensity of his presence. “What is going on here?” Lucifer’s voice was calm but it was laced with a deadly edge and it made everyone to freeze in place.Natalia was the first to recover, she attempted but failed woefully to mask her unease with a sheepish smile. “Lucifer, we were just having a little fun with the new

Chapter 12The night was quiet and the soft hum of the city below was muffled by the thick glass windows of Lucifer’s personal chamber in the house. A single lamp was the only source of light that made out a warm glow over the room while it simultaneously highlighted the modern furniture and the polished mahogany desk where he sat.Lucifer leaned back in his chair with his iPad resting in his lap as he scrolled through reports. His sharp features were illuminated by the screen but his attention wasn’t entirely on the text. Beside him on the desk was a box of cookies and one was already half eaten and forgotten.He reached for the remaining piece absentmindedly and he bit into it as the door creaked open slightly. Tricia, his old housekeeper peeked in with a knowing smile, her grey hair was tied into a loose and messy bun at the top of her head. She had only just returned from her trip to see her family. “Lucifer,” she said and Lucifer could hear that her voice carried the usual gent

Chapter 13The club buzzed with murmurs and curiosity from both the staff and the patrons of the club the following evening. The usual crowd of gamblers shuffled cards and threw dice but the absence of one prominent figure didn’t go unnoticedThe middle aged man, Donovan was evidently absent. He was a steady patron at the club and was a huge part of the gamblers but he was no where to be found the following evening which was completely unlike him. There were rumors of him being found dead and badly battered right in his bedroom. But that was all there was. Many who witnessed the events of the previous night feared that he may have been killed by Lucifer Cain but no one dared say a word about that particular piece of information. The who. Word around town was just that he was mysteriously killed by unknown people. Probably people he gambled with and cheated since he was a huge gambler. Only a few .....heck a handful knew the true story. “Have you seen Mr. Donovan?” a tall man in a

Chapter 14Lucifer Cain was the devil himself, there was no surprise there. Underneath the dim lights of the club in the strippers backroom, news traveled fast and this time, the news held an element of surprise, mixed with shock and confusion.He had helped Katherine—a stripper. Something that had never ever happened in his club before.Katherine sat silently in a corner, pulling a sweatshirt over her skimpy dressing. Her face burned in shame as she managed to swallow the lump in her throat.The strippers who were huddled on the other side of the room were talking in not-so-hushed whispers, giving Katherine dirty glances every once in a while.“Is she the girl?” One, Marissa, asked chewing on her bubblegum noisily as her eyes traveled up and down Katherine's body. “Yeah, that's the one.” Natalia scoffed as she dragged her fishnet stocking up her thighs. She still couldn't believe that Luci would go that far for her.“So, Lucifer killed Donovan for that one.” Another girl rolled her

Chapter 15Katherine shot up from her bed, dizzy and disoriented. At first, it was a light tap on her shoulder, before it quickly turned into water splashed on her face. “Who’s there?” She called out, her heart racing. She rubbed her eyes as they focused and one of the maids came into sight. “It’s me, ma’am. I’ve been trying to wake you up for the past few minutes, but you were out cold… Are you alright?” Angelie looked down at her with eyes of concern. Katherine stilled for a moment, as reminders of what had happened last night crept back into her mind, her face still dripping water. After taking a deep breath, she shook her head frantically, “Yeah, No… I’m fine.” Angelie nodded, using her hand to usher Katherine out of bed. “Lucifer wants you to get ready.”“Huh? What for?” She groaned. She most definitely didn’t want to see him. At least not now. She could feel bile rising in the back of her throat once again, as she followed Angelie. She hoped he wasn’t going to take her to the

Chapter 16As Katherine turned and tossed in bed, the morning sun began to rise up over the horizon, shining directly into her eyes. She groaned, covering her head with the pillow and trying to drift back up to sleep.It wasn’t possible, the deed had been done and now she was fully awake. Her eyes fluttered open and she turned around but was met by crumpled sheets on the bed. Lucifer wasn’t there. Where had he gone?She sat up slowly, and her core tingled, along with it a dull ache which was a good reminder of the vigorous activities that they’d indulged in last night. She bit her bottom lip, and her face flushed as she remembered just how he had treated her last night.Although she was battling for dear life in some scenes, it was gentler compared to the first time they had had sex. She took a breath before managing to sit up and slip out of bed. She pulled her cover up on and made the short walk to her own room where she got ready for the day.As she stood under the shower, her mind

CHAPTER 17Katherine’s back hit a wall as she tried to move away from Lucifer."You were expecting me? Why?" she stammered, staying still as he moved so close she had nowhere left to go.Lucifer didn’t answer right away. His eyes studied her, calm but intense, like he was deciding exactly what to do with her. “Let’s just say I had a feeling,” he finally said, his voice low. “You just couldn’t resist sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong.”Her chest tightened, but she forced herself to stand tall. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”He let out a quiet laugh, dark and humorless. “Katherine, you’re a terrible liar. I knew you’d show up eventually. What I didn’t expect was for you to be this careless.”“I’m not here to cause trouble,” she shot back, though her voice trembled. "I just want...."“Stop,” he interrupted, leaning in closer. “Don’t waste your breath. Whatever you think, it doesn’t matter anymore.” His hand came up, but he didn’t touch her. Instead, he let it hover n

Chapter 18Katherine stared at Lucifer in awe. So, she’d really just been worrying for nothing all this while, huh?“Wait, are you serious, Lucifer? She asked again to ensure that she heard correctly.“Katherine,” He lifted his eyes away from the documents, “What did I say earlier? Get out of my study.” He commanded, and Katherine nodded, her body jittery.Happy, she ran out of his office and back to her room, only to jump in bed and kick her feet excitedly. Even though this was no call for celebration, she had narrowly escaped Lucifer’s wrath and that was something to be grateful for.As the day went by, Katherine’s routine remained extremely uneventful. It was starting to feel as though she was a slave in this giant mansion—she knew nowhere, had nowhere to go (if she’d even be allowed) and all she could do was drift in and out of sleep.She decided to move to the library and pick some books out to read. Situating herself in the window nook, she sat there and read until her eyes were

CHAPTER 143Usually he would wear black but not today. Today wasn't one of those days when he would dress to scare.Instead, he wore a soft grey sweater and faded jeans. His usual scowl was replaced with a calmer and softer look. He didn’t walk like death today, rather he walked like a stranger trying not to scare a cat.The room's back door creaked when he entered, with arms full of plush toys, bright snack bags, and a pink-and-purple doll set tucked beneath one elbow. He ordered his guards to stay outside. Today was for him and the girls.The faint scent of old crayons and spilled juice filled the living room and the little girls sat huddled on a couch, with eyes wide opened. They seemed to be playing but the moment they saw him, they scrambled backwards. Madelaine darted behind the couch and Adelaide crawled under the coffee table with her bunny.Lucifer set the things down slowly on the couch. “I’m not here to hurt you,” he said, with a very low and careful voice. “I brought you s

CHAPTER 142Katherine sat on the edge of the oversized velvet armchair, with her arms crossed tightly over her chest and her eyes fixed on the floor. There was a brief and suffocating silence like if one of them dared make a noise, Someone might end them.Giovanni poured two glasses of red wine. He took his time with it, swirling the liquid, and watching it settle.“You look good,” he muttered as his eyes lingered on her, taking in her curves in the red dress. “What’s the occasion?”“Don’t do that,” she said quietly, her voice tight. “Didn’t you say you needed to... talk to me?”“Oh? You do like hearing things don't you?” he whispered, with a smirk.Katherine swallowed. “Why... why am I here?”“Because I enjoy your company,” Giovanni said with a wide grin.Katherine’s jaw clenched, and she shook her head, her eyes darting toward the door. “I don’t want to stay. Please let me go.”“Not until I decide,” Giovanni said.Katherine’s breath hitched as she forced herself to meet his eyes, wh

CHAPTER 141The early morning air was chill as it occupied Asher’s lungs. Breathing in was hard and it made his insides numb. His feet hit the pavement in rhythm as he jogged, left, right, left. Almost as though he was trying to outrun the problem in his chest. The streets were empty and the sky still gray with dawn. He sighed deeply.He needed this.Ever since Lucifer’s visit… the blood, the screaming, the stench of gunpowder, it all haunted him. But worse than the pain in Lucifer's voice or his sister ’s sobs, was the realization that Katherine had never made it home.Lucifer hadn’t said it outright, but Asher could almost taste it in his words. Katherine was still missing and if she was alive, he couldn't tell.He jogged faster, trying to drown out the thoughts from within and his breath fogged in the cold air.The sound of the ringtone breaking the silence, interrupting his music and the vibration in his pocket stopped him dead in the tracks. He slowed and pulled out his phone.W

CHAPTER 140The sky was a thick shade of ash and the rain poured heavily against the rooftop of thel bungalow like it was trying to peel it off. Lightning darted across the sky and the thunder rumbled every now and then.Lucifer pushed his hair out his face and held his weapon tightly as he stood before the metal gate, with two of his guards flanking him with stone-cold faces and their guns already drawn.“Clear anything in the way but the family,” he ordered. “Yes, lord,” they said and aimed their guns.The dogs came first, walking up and down in distress. It was almost as though they could sense them. Three of them barked and charged which pissed Lucifer off. He had wanted a silent announcement but all thanks to the dogs for being the SOS.The dogs didn’t make it past the gate because Lucifer already raised his gun with a strong calculation and fired. Three bullets, three thuds and their barks rolled back into their throats before it was followed by a defeating silence.They forced

CHAPTER 139Katherine’s head ached. She couldn’t tell how long she’d been down there. The days bled together, and she couldn't tell the night from the day and all through, food was passed to her in a tray, slid underneath the dungeon gates. But she couldn't bring herself to eat it even though it smelt good— looked good. It was left untouched and taken out the next day.Every night she cried herself to sleep, calling Noah’s name until her throat was raw. Her stomach ached, but she refused to eat. It wasn’t hunger that gnawed at her, it was the grief and fear of something happening to her son.Each time the door opened, she screamed for Noah, hoping it was him, but it was one of those cruel guards.And each time, she was beaten for it.A week went by, and she was on the same spot, bruised, and weak and also thin. But she never stopped. She was cold. Hungry. Tired. The only thing keeping her sane was the thought of Noah. Of holding him again.And Lucifer.God… she hated herself for it, b

CHAPTER 138Katherine stepped out of the Landan house looking weary. She had no idea how long she was going to walk before she could get into town. Asher had given her a small map but she had seemed to forget how to use those things. It was a bit tricky but she had thanked him for his kind gesture. And she had to be quick else this was the time that the Landans usually returned and if they saw her on the road that could lead to other complications.The goodbye with the girls, the way Asher pressed that card into her hand, she couldn't stop thinking of it all. she held Noah tightly to her chest. She had no idea how heavy he had become. He was a big baby, warm but really had enough healthy weight.She draped the blanket over her shoulders tightly. Her back ached and her shoulders but she needed to get away from there first.She hadn't even gone a distance until a black van pulled up behind her. She paused in her tracks looking around for where to dash into but it was too late.She drop

CHAPTER 137Katherine’s fingers trembled as she folded the last piece of clothing into the worn, faded bag. Her vision blurred, hot tears clouded the shapes of everything in the room.She sniffled, biting her lip hard enough to hurt. Why did he have to show up? He shouldn't have even tried to. She was fine without him, was figuring life out by herself.A soft knock came at the door, and before she could answer, tiny feet padded in. Adelaide and Madelaine with their eyes round and curious, stood in the doorway. When they saw the tears streaming down Katherine’s face, they didn’t ask what was wrong rather they simply moved to her. The two little girls wrapped their arms around her legs, holding her tight.Katherine dropped to her knees and gathered them into her arms, pressing their heads against her shoulders as the sobs came harder.“Will I ever see you again?” Madelaine asked, her voice shaky and her eyes glossy with tears.Adelaide clung to her tighter. “I don’t want you to go…”Ka

CHAPTER 136Asher sat with Noah resting quietly in his arms, the child’s tiny face pressed against his chest. His little hands clutched at Asher’s shirt without even knowing why. Asher glanced down at him and for the first time really looked. Although both parents Dna had contributed to the boy, his eyes… they were just like his father’s,Lucifer Cain.The ruthless, famous man whose reputation made even hardened men lower their heads. So this was the person Katherine had been running from all this time. The deadly Mafia.He wanted to know how she ended up with him. He had called her wife, asked for his son, showed possession and Katherine was vulnerbale. So vulnerbale and broken. Even after he left, she was still sitting in silence and trembling.Asher swallowed hard as he tried to put his messy thoughts together. The first time he heard of Lucifer, he had wanted to look for a way to harm Ethan. To set him up and fuck him up. But he couldn't stand it. He couldn't stand them. They wer

CHAPTER 135The house was quiet, except for the soft sound of the old ceiling fan and the gentle scratch of a cloth as Katherine wiped down the table. The scent of cleaning solution hung in the air. She hummed as she cleaned, trying to relish the moment and clear her head, before the doorbell rang.Her hand froze mid-wipe, cloth pressed against the wood. The sound came again, persistently, like it needed attention.It was just her and Asher home. And no one came here.No one should.Her chest tightened. She didn't want to do this. Not again.Day after day, boxes arrived. Packages filled with things she never asked for — diapers, clothes, money and various self care she could never afford. She wanted to throw them out, burn them, scream at the sky, but she didn’t.Instead, she let them pile up in Asher’s room, turning his space into a cramped storeroom of her trash. The Landans’ patience had run thin and she couldn't blame them. Kind people had their limits.The bell rang again, caus
