A Toy For The Ruthless Mafia Lord Chapter 35
CHAPTER 35At first, Katherine heard one gunshot.A long silence followed. Then, she heard two more pops—deafening and heart-shattering.Whimpering, she collapsed onto the ground, shifting herself into the corner of the panic room. Her heart felt heavy, and her breathing became ragged as she curled up, her thoughts unstable.After that, she didn't hear anything anymore. Not for the next five or ten minutes, until she heard the sound of shoes crunching on gravel from the small window near the ceiling behind her.It sounded as though something was being dragged across the floor. Was it Lucifer? Was that his body being dragged?Keeping mute, she pressed her hands to her ears, blocking out the nauseating sound. She didn't even want to hear it—regardless of thinking about who it was or how they'd been executed gruesomely.She rocked herself unsteadily, gripping onto the edge of the steel table beside her. In a few minutes, she felt the door of the panic room crack open, and her head flew u

CHAPTER 36“You don't. But it's best if you accompany me. I can't afford to leave you alone in the cottage now,” he said sternly, his voice full of authority. Reluctantly, Katherine nodded, and Lucifer got down from the car, crossing to the other side and pulling the door open for her. She stepped out, gently raising her diamond-embedded red dress to keep it from dragging on the floor. The dainty necklace that rested on her neck complimented the dress perfectly, along with the dangle earrings. Lucifer fixed up the tie of his black suit, straightening the arms out before taking hold of her arm. Together, they walked through the back entrance of the club and took an elevator down to where the auction club was happening. The venue seemed to be dripping with elegance itself, with a spacious stage in the upper front and other fancy tables situated behind it. Guests turned their heads as soon as Lucifer and Katherine walked in, and little murmurs filled the venue. Katherine's face h

Chapter 37The crowd erupted in a series of gasps. “It’s going…” The auctioneer chanted, as each guest held their breath. Katherine glanced around, watching how they were all so intensely focused on this veiled girl before them, and most importantly, Lucifer. She seemed to pique his interest, and Katherine could tell by her aura, but she wanted to know why exactly.“And…sold!” The auctioneer said with a delighted smile, gesturing towards Lucifer. All eyes immediately turned to the man who could spend so much on an assassin. Some wondered why he wanted her so much to bid that high, while other's minds ventured to insidious plans that he could be plotting. After all, from now on, they’d have to be on their toes. From the other side of the room where he sat, Giovanni’s eyes narrowed, staring at Lucifer. There was something there, but he couldn’t place a finger on it---not yet. He cleared his throat uneasily, shifting uncomfortably in his seat.The auctioneer led the veiled lady down t

CHAPTER 38“I don’t understand,” Katherine said, so full of confusion, “She was just here.” She gestured toward the couch, where a particular area had been indented due to weight. It meant she had probably just slipped out. “She will be back.” He murmured, going to sit back on the couch. “Isla is missing, and you’re just going to kick back and relax?” She scoffed, eyeing him.“And?” He laughed, kicking his feet up on the table before him. “She won’t last minutes in these woods. Especially this late at night, she’ll be back soon, don’t worry.” He informed, so sure of himself. Wherever she went, she surely couldn’t be far. She smacked her lips together, flopping on the couch beside him, although, it didn’t take long before she slept off.~The next morning, they were returning to the estate, since it had been fixed up now, and his men had cleared it out. Still, the thought of one thing lingered on both their minds. “Isla still isn’t back, Lucifer,” Katherine said, tapping his should

CHAPTER 39There came that familiar dull ache between Katherine’s legs, as she slipped out of Lucifer’s bed. As usual, Lucifer wasn’t in bed. But, this time she didn’t just wake up peacefully—it was noise. The loud, thunderous voice of an incredibly angry man. She sighed, pulling her hair into a ponytail, before crossing to the bathroom and rinsing her face off. Her body felt heavier than usual, but she ignored the feeling. “Probably all the stress I’ve been putting myself through…” She murmured as she ran her hands under the tap. Within a few days, she’d gone from sunshine to moonlight, quite literally. Her hair was disheveled and looked extremely unhealthy, her eyes had deep, dark eye bags under them, and she was starting to lose a little weight. She looked underfed, which was funny because, in this estate, she ate like a queen, morning, afternoon, and night. Just a little hiccup though, nothing that good food and rest wouldn’t fix. She wiped her hands on the wash cloth carefully

CHAPTER 40Katherine remained frozen on the couch she had been seated on for the past ten minutes. The only thing she could do was retrace back to the conversation that she and Lucifer had earlier as she stared at the piping hot cup of coffee on the table in front of her.“Did I say something wrong?” She murmured under her breath, tossing her hair over her shoulder. It seldom made sense to her how quickly Lucifer could go from being neutral to cold. It happened all so fast that even she was still left reeling from the shock. It was nothing new, but right when she thought that they were getting somewhere, he just shut it all down. Scoffing with disbelief, she rose from the seat, picked up the coffee, and went to the kitchen to pour it down the drain. As she violently scrubbed at the cup, she wondered if he’d ever stop with his annoying mood swings. After all, she was to blame. She doubted she ever really meant anything to him. He was right. All she was was the daughter of a debtor—a

Chapter 41Lucifer paused, finally looking up. He clasped his hands together on the table, raising a brow. “Whether you have news for me or not, I expect you to inform me before you step into my house.” He said, his voice teetering on the edge of caution and annoyance. “Right. I apologize.” She stepped forward, clearing her throat. “You just…haven’t been around the club lately.” Her eyes scanned Lucifer, observing his countenance.“Whta’s that got to do with you?” He murmured, redirecting his gaze back to the papers on his table and scribbling his signature at the bottom.“It’s not about me. I heard some interesting things. People are starting to wonder. There's talk about you and your... attachments. You’ve been preoccupied with other things lately.” A sly smirk crept up on her face.He raised a brow, his patience already wearing thin. “Get to the point, Natalia. Before I have security drag you out.”“I just thought…” She placed her bag on his table, folding her hands behind her bac

CHAPTER 42“What exactly do you want?” Katherine grumbled, quickly slipping the foreign key into her pocket.“Well, can’t I check up on you anymore?” Natalia touched her shoulder lightly, her voice dripping with fake sweetness. Katherine scoffed, standing up from her chair and crossing her hands over her chest. She wasn’t in the mood for any of Natalia’s stupid antics. Besides, what was she doing in the house anyway?Katherine felt her heart rate quicken as she stared right at Natalia. Or maybe Lucifer had called her over to relieve himself of tension the way he always did. Yet, if that was the case, she looked very neat and Katherine knew that it most likely didn’t happen. A part of her was happy even, that Lucifer didn’t do it. But, another part was annoyed that she was back in the house. She couldn’t just leave Lucifer alone? She was just a wench that was obsessed with him, or maybe his money instead.“Check up on me?” Katherine shook her head, moving towards the stepstool and cl

A Toy For The Ruthless Mafia Lord Chapter 67
Chapter 67Lucifer stood right outside the door to Katherine's bedroom, a small box in hand. It looked prim and proper, with a pink bow delicately laced at the top of the box. It was the morning after Riley had finally left the estate and even though it felt odd not having her around any more, he knew it was the best decision.Promptly after that, he decided to put together the little surprise that he had mentally plotted out for her. He wasn't quite sure of what to get or do, so he ended up sheepishly enlisting the help of Tricia.Now, thanks to her, everything was set. And all that was left was for him to show how he felt; something that wasnt his strong suit. He knocked on the big, oak door and stood in silence for a moment shoving his hand in his pocket. No reply came and he sucked his teeth, tightening his jaw. 'This is so stupid,' he thought to himself as he cleared his throat with a little sniffle. He knocked again, and no response came and it didn't take long before his min
A Toy For The Ruthless Mafia Lord Chapter 66
CHAPTER 66The door to Lucifer’s study creaked open loudly, revealing Riley standing smack dab in the middle of the dimly lit hallway. She stepped inside, her combat boots clicking softly against the polished floor as she closed the door behind her. The air between them was different, unusual, but still, Riley reminded herself that she shouldn’t act stupid in front of him.Lucifer was seated at his desk, his posture relaxed but his gaze sharp as it followed her movements. The package from earlier was nowhere in sight, as it had been thrown out, but the unspoken tension of all the events that had unfolded earlier was still obvious, as clear as day.“So,” Riley began, crossing her arms as she leaned against the edge of the desk. “This is it.”Lucifer’s lips twitched into a wry smile. “It doesn’t have to be.”She rolled her eyes, though her bodily actions betrayed her emotions. “We both know it does. You’re sending me away for my safety, right? Or is it just because you don’t trust me an

Chapter 65Lucifer’s voice cut through the quiet like a sternly, making Katherine whip her head around. “What’s that in your hands?”Startled, Katherine stumbled against the wall as he stormed past her, his piercing gaze locked onto Riley. His tone was sharp enough to slice through the tension, and Katherine could feel the tension radiating off him like a storm. She gasped, steadying herself with one hand rested against the wall, her pulse racing as she tried to make sense of his sudden outburst.Riley, standing by the door with the package still resting in her hands, raised an eyebrow at him, unfazed by his aggression. “It’s the package,” she said, holding it up very obviously, so he could see it much more clearly. Her brow furrowed slightly. “I picked it up like you asked me to. Is there a problem?”Lucifer’s jaw ticked as he closed the distance between them. “That doesn’t look right,” he muttered, snatching the box from her hands with so much force that Riley almost toppled over.

A Toy For The Ruthless Mafia Lord Chapter 64
Chapter 64Katherine stood in the middle of the kitchen, surrounded by ingredients she had laid out in anxiousness while getting ready to make dinner. After watching Riley’s effortless breakfast feat earlier that morning, Katherine had made up her mind. She quickly dismissed the chef after thorough reasoning and now that she was right here, she couldn’t back out now. She wasn’t going to sit back while Riley played the perfect housekeeper for Lucifer. It didn’t matter how long they’d known each other. She would cook tonight—show Lucifer that she wasn’t just the helpless, needy woman Riley seemed to think she was.With a deep breath, Katherine turned her attention to the stovetop. The chicken was sizzling in the pan already, and the smell of garlic and onions filled the air. She couldn’t help but smile at the thought of Lucifer coming down the stairs, to a delicious meal.But unluckily for her, things weren’t going according to plan.As the time passed by, Katherine felt a growing sen
A Toy For The Ruthless Mafia Lord Chapter 63
Chapter 63Katherine tossed and turned in bed lousily. She could feel the sunrays hitting her exposed skin and when she tumbled over, she almost rolled and fell down from the bed. Her body jolted awake and her eyes fluttered open. Yesterday was completely hectic and her mind immediately circled back to the last conversation that she had with Lucifer before they went to bed. He seemed to be very nonchalant about the whole thing, but she didn’t know. How would she know anything at all? She was new—a stranger— to Lucifer Cain’s life, and although she wasn’t expecting much it hurt. The way he had replied left him feeling almost unsettled and she tried to brush it off, but she couldn’t seem to.She remembered exactly what happened as clear as day:Lucifer’s lips curled into a slow, predatory smirk, his sharp gaze pinning Katherine in place. He leaned back against the cushions, his uninjured arm draped lazily over the edge of the couch."I can see right through you, Katherine, and jealous

Chapter 62“How do you feel now?” Riley asked, standing beside where Lucifer sat. He popped open the sachet of medicine, and spilled it into his outstretched palm, before downing it with some water. As she watched him gulp the prescribed medicine down, he nodded. He let out a deep sigh after taking the medicine, “Better than before. I can’t believe these pills work so fast.” He said, relaxing back into his seat. He had skipped his medication and the pain from the explosion had resumed, and this time, tremendously. It was late in the evening, and soon they’d all have dinner. The pain throughout the day was too much for Lucifer, and even though Riley asked if he needed anything, he ended up brushing it off with a shake of his head. But, she could easily see through him. Of course, she’d known him for years, so it was only normal. “My shoulder just feels a bit sore.” He said after a short while, scratching the back of his neck. Without saying a word, she moved behind the seat, and pl

Chapter 61“Riley, what are you talking about?” Lucifer sat up quickly, his heart rate skyrocketing all of a sudden. There was a part of him that oddly didn’t want Katherine to hear, but at the same time, he didn’t mind.“You know what I’m talking about, Lucifer,” She pushed him by the shoulder with her pointer finger, biting her bottom lip mischievously. “Or have you forgotten so quickly?” She said, her voice low and breathy as her doe eyes looked up at him. His blue orbs bore almost into her soul, yet she couldn’t seem to look away from those mesmerizing eyes.“Maybe I have…” He trailed off, breaking the eye contact finally. His breath hitched for a moment when he felt her hand on his shoulder, “You can’t do this though, Riley.” He cautioned, his breathy voice betraying him.It’d been a while since he was laid and it didn’t help him much in this situation. “What?” She whined, laughing it off. “So, you don’t remember running from Mrs. Verna’s class,” She trailed a finger down his c
A Toy For The Ruthless Mafia Lord Chapter 60
CHAPTER 60"Riley is that really you?" Lucifer asked looking at the girl in front of him. The lights had suddenly turned back on, and there in the center of the room was a lady about Katherine’s age, standing there, hands looped behind her. There was a little gift bag on the table, filled to the brim and stuffed with wrapping paper, and beside it were helium balloons and a get well soon card propped up right beside it.Katherine's bag had slipped out of her grip; a result of her reeling shock. But no one seemed to notice the soft thump of the leather bag against the floor.“Yes, it's me, Lucifer!” Riley sighed, quickly running up towards him and pulling him in for a tight, warm embrace.“It's been so long, Where have you been?” Lucifer asked still dumb struck by the fact that Riley was actually here. The hug felt familiar, but odd since he hadnt received one in so long. Witnessing what was happening right in front of her eyes, Katherine blinked once, then twice, unable to believe h
A Toy For The Ruthless Mafia Lord Chapter 59
CHAPTER 59After spending a week in the hospital, Lucifer was still feeling all sore, but he was more than happy to leave Hawaii as it had given him a feeling of bad omen. “Are you all set?” Lucifer asked turning around. “Just give me one second, I can't find my bikini bottoms!” Katherine responded, leaping from one spot in the room to another. She just didn't know where she placed her bottoms and those were her favourite pair. “Have you checked the couch cushions?” Lucifer rolled his eyes, watching as she scurried about. Katherine's head snapped up to meet his eyes, and her eyes sparkled with astonishment, “Oh my goodness. You're right, I totally forgot!” She yelled, dashing towards the two-seater.Lo and behold, there it was, wedged between two cushions. “I wonder how you made your way over here,” she murmured under her breath, picking it up and tossing it into her luggage bag, before zipping back up. Exasperated, she dragged her two, much heavier bags to the front of the room
