Captive Affair Chapter 1
I pulled my jacket tighter around myself as I stood outside the club doors. I had just finished with another grueling shift at the bar and was waiting for my lift, who I was sure had completely forgotten about me, I had been waiting for hours. It was rather late, but I knew I would need to walk home, I had forgotten my phone behind and had no way of making any calls to get someone to fetch me. With a heavy sigh, as I shivered from the cold night air, I began my walk home while wishing I hadn't chosen to wear such a short dress; it wasn't exactly the safest area at the best of times. The cold chilled me to the bone as my skin pickled with goosebumps, each step I took felt colder than the last. I was thankful I wasn't far from the flat I rented with my cousin Dom. I couldn't help but shake my head at the thought of him, he had been the only one in my family to ever really understand me without any judgment. He understood that I resented my entire childhood and wanted to part from

My eyes were still covered by the cloth and my hands were still tied behind my back as I was forced to walk forward by the firm grip that held onto my upper arm. I couldn't tell which of the men had me, but I assumed it was the smaller man who had Auburn hair and hazel eyes, he had looked the kinder between the two of them. The man Dom had called Gianni on the other hand had terrified me. His cold eyes were so dark they looked like black pools; I wouldn't deny that he had good looks though, he was tall with broad shoulders and thick arms, and his short dark hair complemented his tanned skin. But where he may have had good looks, it did nothing to take away from the fact that simply looking at him had terrified me, and it had nothing to do with the scar over his eye either. You could immediately tell that he was a cruel man, from the hard look on his face, and the lack of emotion in his eyes. "There's steps coming up." I nodded my head to acknowledge, I was thankful that it was in

GIANNI "Why do you look so pissed off?" Talon asked the next morning as he walked into my office. He paused, "Is that a cut on your nose?" I glared at him, "I went in to her last night. Bitch kneed me in the face." Talon's face went white, "Is she okay?" "Is she okay? Did you not fucking hear me? She's the one that attacked me!" "What did you do to her?" "Nothing! I went in and my dick got the better of me. Almost fucked her but she kneed me in the face. And you know what I did after that? I walked the fuck out." Talon shook his head, "She's going to be difficult. And we both know that Dom is going to take forever to get all the money paid up." I felt myself get annoyed again, I didn't want to have this conversation right now, "Talon, I know what I'm doing. If you're so worried about her, you deal with her. But she stays alive, she is our only leverage." Talon nodded begrudgingly, "Fine. I'll play the babysitter." "No, Scott will handle her." I knew Talon well enough and the

KINLEY Tina had returned with me to my room where she had left me. I took a long shower before putting on a pair of shorts and a simple top before going into the room. I paused when I saw Gianni sitting at the dresser, a glass of amber liquid in his hand. His black jacket was gone and the first few buttons of his black shirt were undone, revealing a glimpse of the tattoos on his tanned chest. He watched me silently as I walked over to climb onto the bed. "Those attacks, do they happen often?" He asked suddenly. I shrugged, pulling my knees to my chest before pulling the comforter over myself, "I, uh, sometimes. It depends on my level of anxiety I guess," I felt uncomfortable speaking to my captor about this. He took a sip of his drink before pouring more into the glass from a bottle on the dresser. I took a breath as he came over to sit on the bed. He wasn't close to me, but I could feel my chest begin to tighten again. "Here," he held out the glass to me, "I'm pretty sure

KINLEY I had just stepped out of the shower, wrapping a fluffy towel around myself as the door opened. I yelped in surprise, Gianni stood at the door. "Have you never heard of knocking?" I asked, both terrified and annoyed. He wore a black dress shirt with black slacks that complimented his tanned skin. Really, Kinley? Checking out your kidnapper now? He smirked at me, "How are you feeling today?" "I was feeling just fine until I saw you." He walked over to me and I willed myself not to begin shaking. He backed me up against the cold tile wall, his fingers slowly trailing up and down my arms leaving a trail of goosebumps behind. "You smell good," he brought his face to the nape of my neck and I trembled. I was both terrified and sickly turned on by this man. It made me feel sick. "Join me for lunch?" he asked, his lips brushing against my skin as he spoke. "It's not as though I have a choice." "Of course you do," one of his hands dropped to my thigh, lightly running his

KINLEY I sat in the front seat of Gianni's car, a few other cars of his were parked nearby, filled with his men. I wasn't sure exactly where we were, but it was a pretty empty place, a park of some sort with overgrown grass and empty buildings, Gianni had stepped out to go over to another car. He said they were doing business and he needed to collect something. I assumed it might have been drugs or something along those lines. I knew I couldn't run, there were too many of his people around. Getting out of the car to stretch, my eye caught sight of something in one of the empty buildings. It looked very much like a sniper. I spun, no one else seemed to notice it. Talon looked at me and caught the line of my attention. He frowned up at the building and everything went to hell right there. I wasn't sure where it came from but there was a shot fired and suddenly everyone was jumping from cars and shooting. I crouched down, the loud gunshots sending me into a panic, I began to f

KINLEY I woke up alone in the room and breathed a thankful sigh. Rummaging through the closets I took out an oversized band shirt and a pair of shorts that would fit before going to shower. Once I was done, I made my way through to the living room where Gianni sat on one of the sofas. Talon was opposite him. Gianni smiled at me, "Gattina, come here," he motioned for me with his hand. I glanced at Talon before going over to sit beside Gianni. He slung an arm casually around my shoulders, "Did you sleep well?" I nodded, not wanting to speak. "She shouldn't be here, Gia." I watched as Gianni's jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing at Talon, "Why not? She handled herself well back there." "She is our leverage against Dom, she is not a guest and she is not a friend." I was surprised at the anger coming from Talon, he had seemed calm and sweet most of the time. Gianni dropped a hand to my thigh making me squirm uncomfortably. "Kinley, we believe there is a mole amongst us. We will

KINLEY Gianni looked at Talon before taking me by the arm, "Talon, car. Now."I hurried to keep up with Gianni while he pulled at my wrist."What were you doing in the study?" he asked suddenly, spinning to a stop so abruptly that I almost bumped right into him."Uh... I got lost coming out from the toilet."He frowned, I knew he didn't believe me."I was going to run away from you." Honesty is the best policy, right?He scratched at the back of his neck, "You were going to try and escape?"I nodded, "Yes. I was going to run off, but then I had to hide in the study and I came across all this, these two guys came in and started talking about me, saying I'd get them good money," my eyes widened as I remembered the rest of their conversation, "Oh! They spoke about you too and the mole. They said they would speak to Dom about me tomorrow, and that the mole is getting real close to putting you away for a long time."Gianni tilted his head, a dangerous glint in his eye, "They want to sell y

•GIANNI•"Where the hell is Renato? That kid is always late to something."Kinley chuckled, "He texted me, he's just picking up his girlfriend."I shook my head, he had been talking about this girlfriend for a while now but we had yet to meet her.Today was the big day.I looked over at Luca standing in front of the barbecue.Ripley was sitting busy typing on her phone. I couldn't believe both of my kids had grown up and I had been blessed enough to see them grow.If Fin and Luca hadn't done what they did for me, I may not have had the privilege of having these years to watch my son and daughter grow into a man and woman.We invited Fin for this barbecue, but he was away undercover for work so he wasn't able to make it.I looked over at Kinley and my mind went back to that night all those years ago at the shipping yard.She had run over to me in such a panic when she heard those gunshots. She thought I was shot.In actual fact, it was Fin who shot one of the men guarding Martha.After

•KINLEY•I pulled my phone out while telling Luca the truth about what I had been up to with Hilton.Now that I was aware of the reason he was doing what he was, I was sure we could still trust him.We just needed to help him make sure Martha was safe."Who are you calling?""Fin. I have an idea that will help all of us.""Kinley? Do you have news?""I do. But I need you to meet me, and get Gianni here too." I gave him the location and hung up."Gianni is going to skin me alive, why are you bringing them here? I trusted you with this.""You trusted me for a reason, Luca. You know we would never let anything happen to Martha. I just wish you would have told us what was going on sooner. A lot of this mess could have been avoided.""Kinley, they have my wife. I couldn't risk her life. I don't even want to do this right now. If they kill her-""They won't, okay? Trust us, please."Luca looked around as if he was worried someone was looking at us, "If they find out that I'm telling you, th

•KINLEY•"So? What's the plan here?"Gianni was already in planning mode, "We tap his phone. I'll put someone on him to follow him. We can go to him with these calls, but he can play it down without any real evidence. Once we have evidence, we confront him."Fin nodded, "Got it, I'll get the tap, you have someone follow him."Gianni nodded, "Sounds good. I'll get onto that immediately. Kinley, I don't want you leaving the house unless it's with me. Understood?"I nodded, but I had no plan of listening. I still had to meet with Hilton and see if I could find anything out.I glanced at Fin and he looked away from me, he knew what I was thinking about, I could see it by the way he looked at me.Now I needed a plan to get out of the house without Gianni stopping me.And knowing Gianni, that wasn't going to be easy.I got to my feet and walked out, going downstairs where I found Luca about to leave. "Where are you off to?" I asked, fighting the urge to attack him in anger."Got a lead." H

•KINLEY•With the baby bottle in hand, I made my way to the kitchen, pausing just outside the doorway when I heard Luca on a call."Well, she didn't say a damn word to me about being there okay? No, I'm telling you the truth. I'll do my best, but I'm not making any promises. Yes, I know. Thanks for the reminder." I walked in just as he turned to look at me."I'll call you back, Martha," he cut the call and smiled at me, "Gianni on daddy duty?""Yeah. What's up? That sounded serious?""Oh, uh," he looked down at his phone with a frown, "Martha. She has some issues with her sister that she wants me to help with. She's, uh, getting herself involved with the wrong crowd.""Oh no, I hope it works out. Do you want me to talk to Gianni to give you some time off to sort things out?""No, it's nothing that serious. I just need to find out if she was at that cop bar near the precinct last night with her boyfriend."I frowned, "Cop bar? I thought you said she was involved with the wrong crowd?"

•KINLEY•I sat in the courtroom biting my nails while waiting to hear if the judge was going to allow Gianni back out on bail while the investigation was ongoing, or if he would be remanded.Fin and King were seated beside me, Luca near the back.Billie was at the mansion watching the kids.I breathed a sigh of relief when the judge said Gianni could have bail.It was a large amount, but I knew we had it.I rushed to Luca to arrange the payment and waited outside with Fin and King for it to be taken care of."At least he's coming home," Fin said.I nodded, "Yeah. But we still have to pinpoint who it is behind this, and a way to stop it."Fin started pacing, "Detective Hilton is trying to take down the big fish like Gianni to exhilarate his career. I bet that if we put enough pressure on him, we can make this all go away.""But is he the type to let it all go away?" I asked.King shrugged, "If we find the sweet spot, yes. And they all have a sweet spot. We just have to find his."I nod

•KINLEY• "You should go home and get some sleep," Luca suggested. I curled my legs under me on the hard steel chair, "Not until they let me speak to him." "Kinley, come on. We can come back." "I don't want to go anywhere until I've seen him," I looked at my watch, "We've been here for hours. How long is this going to take?" "It takes as long as it takes. They may not even allow you to see him at all until he goes to the judge." "I don't get it. Barney has been dead for months. Why now? So long after his death. How did he rig it up to get the information about Talon sent to them? He was barely even involved in what happened. How did he even have the proper information?" Luca shifted uncomfortably in his chair, "Kin, this is not the best place to talk about that. Can we go across the street?" I looked in the direction of the interrogation room, "Yeah. Let's go. I could use another cup of coffee." We went across the street and ordered coffee, I also ordered a toasted cheese sandw

•KINLEY• I grinned triumphantly, Ripley had finally fallen asleep. Until Luca barged in, that is. "Kinley!" I turned to glare at him, "Could you shut up? I just got her to sleep." "That's going to be the least of your worries. Gianni was just arrested." "What?" I was almost sure I hadn't heard him correctly. "They barged in here with a warrant of arrest. Some new guy trying to make a name for himself." "What was he arrested for?" "Murder. Of Talon." This was getting more ridiculous by the second. "Excuse me? But that was ages ago. How would they even know about that?" "It looks like Barney was looking out for himself right to the end. He rigged it so that all the information was sent to this detective if anything happened to him." "That doesn't make any sense. Barney has been dead for months. Almost a year." Luca shrugged, "That's all I know. Why don't you go down to the station and I'll get a lawyer to meet you. When Billie's up and watching the kids I'll come down there
Captive Affair Chapter 126
~A FEW MONTHS LATER~ •KINLEY• My eyes were blindfolded as Gianni guided my steps. "If something jumps out at me, I swear I'll kill you!" I threatened playfully, one hand on my large belly. "Relax, nothing is going to jump out at you." He stopped, his hands on my shoulders, "Okay, take off the blindfold." I whipped off the blindfold and gasped, my hands going to my mouth in shock at what I was looking at. We stood in the front yard of the mansion which had burnt down. Only now it was rebuilt. "You had it rebuilt?" I couldn't believe it. "Yes. That's what I've been busy with for the last eight months. I know you've been wondering why I've been so secretive." My eyes filled with tears as I was overwhelmed by emotions. I spun around and wrapped my arms around his neck, "Thank you!" "Anything for you, baby. There are a few changes, like Renato's room. And the nursery for Ripley when she's born. I've also made sure the place is baby and toddler-proof." He looked pretty pleased wi
Captive Affair Chapter 125
•GIANNI•I sat with Renato on my lap while watching Kinley swim. A small smile played on my lips at the peaceful moment.It was nice to experience life like this, without the intense adrenaline of the mafia on my back.I texted Luca to find out how my surprise was coming along. I knew how important that mansion was to Kinley, so I had a team working on rebuilding it as close to the first one as possible."What are you smiling about?" Kinley asked as she came over, she kissed Renato on the head before reaching down and kissing me."I can't tell you or it won't be a surprise anymore. Do you want to go to dinner tonight?"Kinley nodded, "That will be nice. Should we invite Luca and Martha? I wanted to invite Billie, but I don't think that will be fair to her with the recent loss.""We can. You should call Billie, you know she won't hate you. She doesn't blame you for this. She knows and understands the way these things go, and she knows that this isn't on you."She sighed, "I know. But s
