BETRAYED BY THE MAFIA LORD Chapter Thirty-one
Georgie opened the limo’s door, the air conditioning was in. Cold mist burst out and ozzed away. A familiar scent of olive and roses came with it. My nose twitched and I grinned. Only one man made such a cold entry. I climbed in and the iridescent lights flickered on. He was right next to me, so close I could hear his slow heart beat and watch his chest rise and fall. He stared as if enchanted by the icy glow in my eyes. He had his never-changing unreadable expression except this time, he seemed genuinely immersed in the way he held me breathless and backed against the door.“Did you have fun?” He spoke, his masculine accent seemed to bounce off sensations from his lips and they made my body react instantly. That's voice had become permanent for a while now. “Sort of. There weren't very interesting people.”“I suppose so.” He pulled away and I struggled with regaining what was left of my shattered shield of impenetrable femininity.“There aren't many as hard core as Leo Fernandez.”

Sophia "Our first item of the night is the whispering city," the auctioneer announced. I stared at the painting from across the room, the dim lighting in the gallery seemed to heighten the painting's quality."The bid will start at $1,500," the auctioneer said, and bidding began."$2,000.""$2,500."I observed as others raised their paddles to bid. It wasn't that I wasn't interested in the painting, in fact, I was only here for the painting. I saw no reason to join the rest in the bidding game, there was no real challenger for me."$7,000."The room went silent. I guessed everyone was done playing. After waiting for a few more seconds, I raised my paddle just as the announcer was about to declare it sold, "$8... $1,000,000."Everyone turned around in shock."Wow! Did I hear that right? $1,000,000 from the gentleman at the back!" the auctioneer announced happily.I turned to see a man standing at the back, dressed in a black tuxedo. He had long hair tied in a short ponytail and a perm

Sophia pov My instincts told me to say no, to put on my clothes and flee while I had the chance, but my heart said otherwise. I had fallen head over heels for this stranger, and even though I knew about his dangerous job, I just couldn't stop now. "What are you?" I asked in a whisper. He didn't reply, instead, he tilted his head to the side and signaled his men to get out. I watched as they dragged the body out of the room, then turned to look at the stranger, who was back to putting on his clothes. "Leo," he said, and I shot him a puzzled look. "My name is Leo," he stated, turning to look at me. "Oh, I'm Sophia," I replied. "Now, Sophia, back to my previous question. Are you sure you can handle being with me?" he asked again. I stared at him, unsure of what to say. I wondered what he would do if I said no. Would he kill me so that I wouldn't tell anybody about what I saw there. "Yes." I didn't realize when the words escaped my mouth. He smiled again, this time more genu

Sophia "Contract marriage?" I exclaimed, unable to believe my ears. "Yes, the only reason he's getting married to Samantha is so that he can form a partnership with her father," Reggie replied."But Leo is a drug lord. Since when do drug lords even form partnerships?" I asked with a scoff. "They do. It's not common because of the lack of trust in the drug business, but Leo is sure that Sam's father won't hurt him if he's married to Sam."On hearing that, I realized that Leo cared more about his business than he did about me, iif he cared at all."I have to go, Reggie. Thanks for bringing me here," I said and got out of the car to leave. I couldn't handle hearing about how Leo never loved me any longer."Sophia!" Reggie called out. I stopped in my tracks and turned to him. "He still loves you, he's just in a really tight position right now," he said. I almost scoffed at his words. "Sure," I muttered and slammed the door shut.I walked into my new condo. It wasn't big or fancy, but it

Sophia "Burn her!" Samantha instructed with a wicked smile and turned to leave. "Oh, and Sophia…" she paused and turned to look at me, still smiling. "I'll make sure to take good care of Leo for you," she whispered in the most annoying voice and burst out laughing. "Sam, please don't do this! I'm not going to be a problem! I'll leave him!" I cried, hoping she would stop seeing me as a threat, "That's the thing, Sam, even if you leave him, you can never leave his heart. He loved you, and as long as you're alive, he won't let me fully into his heart," she replied and took slow strides to where I was. "He doesn't love me. If he did, he wouldn't divorce me so easily, so please just let me go," I pleaded. She pretended to think about it for a while before saying, "Nope, I am not taking any chances. You have to go. Sorry." She spun around and walked out of the room, leaving me with her two minions. The man picked me up from the chair and took me back outside to the same car he broug

Sophia I watched as the car drove off the cliff without any remorse, after all, he didn't mind watching me burn in that car.I spun around and began to walk out of the forest when I heard a loud explosive sound. I turned to see flames erupting from the cliff and let out a satisfied smile.I returned to my condo and packed a few things that I could get my hands on. I needed to get out of there fast. I packed some clothes, jewelry, money, and most importantly, my passport.I knew that it was only a matter of time before Reggie or Leo heard of my "death" and stopped by to check if I was really gone. If they found out I was still alive, it wouldn't take long for Samantha to find out, too.I put on a pair of faded blue jeans, an oversized hoodie, and a baseball cap. I zipped up my suitcase and dragged it outside. I thought of calling a taxi but decided that using my phone was too risky. Sam could be tracking it.The bus stop was just a stone's throw from where I lived, so I dragged my sui

Sophia’s Pov“W-what is this, what are you both doing here?” My brows furrowed as I glanced between the lady and Quinn, who relaxed in his seat without a care in the world. He was the only person sitting in the First Class area, which said a lot. Just how rich was this man?“I never imagined we’d meet this way, Sophia.” His lips curved into a thin smile as he leaned forward to pick up a glass of wine, slowly tilting it into his mouth.I watched on in discomfort, fiddling with the edge of my clothes as I gulped harshly. This was definitely not how I planned for my day to go. I didn’t expect to meet my ex-husband’s lifelong enemy here, yet here I was, standing in the midst of chaos. Hailey finally spoke up, “I saw her trying to flush her baby out. I intervened as soon as possible.” “Oh? Did something go wrong between you and Leo?” He asked, a smug smirk tugging at his lips. My eyes stung with tears and my throat felt tight all of a sudden, as I gripped the edge of a seat, trying to

Sophia “Are you listening to yourself?” I blurted, shocked by his proposal.“You heard me right. I said you should marry me.” Quinn repeated himself slowly, and each word made me feel like I was in some sort of a fever dream.“So, I marry you and in return, you protect me? That’s all?” I glanced towards Hailey, seeking some assurance. It seemed like I should’ve just walked away when I had the chance. What had I gotten myself into?“Why is that so hard for you to believe, Sophia?” Hailey interjected, annoyed by how I was speaking probably.“I’m honestly just trying to understand why you’re both helping me.” I shook my head in confusion, pursing my lips.“Do you need to know the minor details?” Quinn said, his demeanor calmer than ever. I bit my tongue to hold myself back.“What else am I in for? I want to know now.” I demanded, standing my ground.“That’s not something we can tell you right now. All I know is that if you follow through with this, you’ll be safe from Leo and Samantha’s

~ GINA’S POV ~I washed my hands for the third time at the hotel sink before I sanitize again and went to lying wearily on my bed.I hope more than anything that this would be the last time I would have to do that to Leo again. The very sight of him disgusted me.I glanced past the florescent lamp, to an alarm clock on the bedside table. It was still a little past 5. Hailey would not be here till evening. I missed my Derek already. I want to hear him call me ‘mummy’ again.I slipped out of bed and undressed. Then I glided into the large walk-in closet and stood stark naked in front of the mirror.There was nothing. Absolutely nothing left of Sofia’s features. I had become a new woman. After that incident at the mall, Three years ago, I had been all out and about, investing time and money into self-confidence, power and prowess.The world that Leo dwelled in, will certainly not be expecting me and what I had in store. This wasn't like back then, I knew the ropes now and I knew it well
BETRAYED BY THE MAFIA LORD Chapter Twenty-nine
~ LEO’S POV ~I massaged my temples and let out an exhale of utter impatience. The musk scent worn over my cologne left a lingering indication of my savage indifferent desires to end the life of the man dangling off the ceiling in chains.I let out slow, calming breaths and took another look at him. He seemed almost peaceful. And it makes my rage erupt. I grabbed the gun on the table and clicked the trigger. He opened his eyes, unfazed by the threat of getting blown into bloody pieces.“Guns? Come on Leo, you can do better.” He mocked.“You really are as insane as they say you are.” I tucked the gun back in, stepped over the small table and walked to him. I leaned real close to his ear and whispered.“You know you do not need to die from this. Just point me in the right direction and I will be on my way.”He stared at me from the corners of his eyes and then made a small chuckle.“Leo Fernandez, you will never find him. Quinn De Luna, is a ghost and sooner or later, he will come haun

I watched the birds play tag outside my window. The trees rustled gently from the breeze. The city outside bustled and hustled with a serene Sense of modern peace and the roses in my hospital ward perfumed the air with a mixture of unrealistic expectations.Expectations for all this to just go away. I was tired. Sincerely tired. Over two years ago, all I wanted was to make a family with the hottest boy in the club. He had a dangerous job, I knew that but it only exhilarated me. Only made him dangerously attractive.And now, in just a span of one year, I lost everything and I was becoming who I feared. Up till now, I still hadn't felt anything about shooting someone dead. I had become incapable of remorse.All this would have never happened if Leo and I stayed together. If Leo stayed with me.I took in a deep breath and exhaled. My mind drifting out of those hallucinations of my haunting past. I still have a future to live for. But I didn't know exactly what to do with it.“Woman of s

The whole world seemed to be spinning and I was moving with it. My eyes were trying to open but my head hurt. I felt a hand place gently on my behind. The touch jerkede back to reality. It was peach black where ever I was and my legs were off the floor. I was been carried. ‘The robbers. They got me’. That was the first thought that hit me. I wasn't going to be held captive. Not again. I grabbed whatever I could and pulled on it. I heard the robber groan, he fell to the side, hitting the wall. I fought to get off his shoulder, my struggle throwing us on the ground. I scammered off my feet, to run. He grabbed me, pulling me down, I hit the ground again.“Get off of me.” I spoke up, as loud as I could.“Get off, you son of a…” I fidgeted, kicking Vigorously. The man was stronger, larger. He wound over me and my hands are pinned to the ground.“Calm down.” He said in between pants. “It's just me.”“Georgie?” I recognized his voice immediately. My heart eased up the next instant. I

I didn't go out with Quinn for a while after that, partly because he got busy. He was trying to recover a port that he lost to someone. I took the time to heal my mind from the fear that the training had stuffed into me. I still wanted to do it but It was freaking me out. I couldn't lie to myself about that.After some weeks, his schedule freed up. Hailey traveled for a while. She didn't tell me where but Quinn knew and he didn't complain. I was in the house alone with Quinn and Derek.Derek had grown a tooth so the visiting doctor told me I had to start getting him to eat other food other than just breast milk. The day I decided to shop, Quinn was out and he assigned Georgie to me.We visited the baby stalls first. Georgie had his orders, so he hung around me everywhere I went. “Mam, which one do you prefer?” the sweet Burnette asked me. She was standing beside the breast milk pumpers. “I am not quite sure.” I said, a bit nervous about Georgie listening in. I wished again that

It has been a week since that night. Quinn had only asked for me once after that day. He was more savage the second time. He didn't even wait for me to come to him. He came into my room, bolt the door and stripped.“Come to me. I need you.” Was all he said. I reminded him we were not going all the way, he didn't seem to want to at all. He just wanted to play. And that's what I did. Pleasuring him, anyway I could until he was groaning and begging.A while ago, I learnt from Hailey that Quinn was having a hard time although he didn't say why. It made sense why he came by. He wanted me to help with his heavy heart.I saw this as a chance to make my move. I had been meaning to make some demands from him however I couldn't find the right time. But now, in this lovely afternoon, while he lay in my arms with only his pants on and I played with his hair; It felt just right to say it now.“Quinn.”“Mhmm.” His eyes were closed.“I have something I need to tell you.”“What?” He sounded slightly
BETRAYED BY THE MAFIA LORD Chapter Twenty-four
A WEEK LATERMy guess is, something like this had never happened before in this house or this city to be frank because in the passing days after the incident, everyone hovered around like ghosts. I was confined to the room, me and Derek. Quinn never came by and Hailey hopped in just to see the baby. She exchanged no words with me. I adjusted the best I could, to the change. Making it all seem like routine but deep down it was eating me up inside.And the fact that I was incapable of conceiving any plan to make amends, brought back the helpless feeling.On the seventh day after the kidnapping, I decided… I would get things back the way they were even if I had to beg.It was evening, the roses on the left axis of the garden had freshly bloomed and it looked like the eve of spring. The scent enveloped the atmosphere, as if soothing both of us for the conversation I was about to have with Hailey, who sat next to me, tangling her hair in her finger.I took a deep breath and started. “Hail

- GINA -The cold winds whooshed and whirled around me, fluttering the end of my coat and playing with my hair. I stood like I had been frozen, in the middle of the rooftop of this dilapidated building, so frail, It seemed as through it might come falling over if I take a step.I could see people, three men, one rested nicely on a wooden chair while the others stood around him. There was a baby basket in the arms of one of them. I could hear a child crying. I wanted to rush over, to madly rip my baby out of their filthy grip and put a bullet through their skulls but I knew better. Looking Unphased was key in any negotiation.So the silence dragged on between us. They seemed to be waiting for something and I didn't know what it was. It was driving me crazy not knowing that.I hated every bit of me, with each passing second. The memories of life since I met Leo played like a CD tape before my eyes. How vulnerable I had always been. How I never really acted until my death was near. I w
