Claimed by the Mafia Boss Chapter 56: Tending to his wounds
I didn’t know what to do. I checked to see if he was still breathing and fortunately, he was. I needed to act fastI knew I couldn’t carry him He looked so weak like he could pass out any moment from now.He was badly hurt with large cuts and bruises all over his body. “Call Antonio, “ he said faintly.I searched his pockets and pulled out his phone. Unluckily , it wasn’t unlocked.I was certain his face wouldn’t be recognized if I asked him to unlock it.I ran inside and grabbed the home telephone, I was certain Antonio’s number would be saved on speed dial and I wasn’t wrong. “Hey Vit!” He answered at the second ring “It’s Beth, h…his wife Please come it’s an emergency, “ I said quickly “What happened?” He asked in a panicked tone “I don’t know but he’s badly injured…” I tried to explain“See you in 5” he cut me off and the line went dead I had seen a first aid box with Vitali one day and I had no idea where he’d gotten it from so I asked the maid and I was given a different

I walked down the hallway the next morning, my feet making barely a sound on the plush carpet. I carried a small tray in my hands, with a glass of water and Vitali's medication neatly arranged on it.As I approached his private sitting room, I felt a flutter in my chest. I had been trying to avoid him since the accident, unsure of how to process my emotions. But I couldn't just leave him to suffer, not when I knew he needed my help.Antonio had given me some drugs last night, telling me to make sure Vitali took them. He had informed me that Vitali was very stubborn when it came to taking medication. I didn’t know if I could make Vitali do something if he didn’t want to but I nodded and promised to help. He’d also given me a spare key so when I got there it would be easier for me to enter, in case Vitali was too tired to get to the door. I unlocked and pushed open the door and stepped inside, my eyes scanning the room to find Vitali. He wasn’t here.Antonio had told me he was goi

Seven days had passed since Vitali got injured. From what I’d been able to gather from his phone calls and discussions with Antonio; the person who attacked was called Martini Rossi. He was Vitali’s core rival and he had ambushed Vitali and brought some of Vitali’s men over with a bribe, so they would kill him.Vitali had luckily escaped but he sustained so many injuries and his driver was shot dead in the process.With the way they had spoken about this martini guy, I knew he was trouble and very dangerous too.Anyone who was crazy enough to come after someone as dangerous as Vitali must be very dangerous himself. Vitali was recovering faster now. He didn’t have bandages wrapped all over him anymore, just one bandage wrapped around his chest to shoulder. And I cooked his meals every day because he insisted and also because I secretly enjoyed it. I would pretend to be nonchalant of course , I didn’t smile when he complimented my cooking, I would just simply nod. I didn’t even lau

I pulled away from him. I was so disappointed in myself for leaning to his kiss.“What is it?” He asked, his voice a husky whisper “I…don’t…I can’t " but he held me down and pressed his lips to mine again and shamelessly, I gave in.“You want it, why are you fighting it?” He whispered, breaking the kiss “Just let me go” I frowned and got up“Hey, please tell me what’s wrong” he got up too“You know exactly what is wrong” I snapped He looked like he was going to say something but didn’t for a while “ Elizabeth please sit down, there’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you” he gazed at me with pleading eyes Nodding, I sat down next to him If he had anything other than an apology to say I was going to get out of here.“Elizabeth” he took my palm in his “I know I hurt you and I’m really sorry” he apologized I whipped up my head at him in surprise. This was the first time he was going to use the words ‘I’m sorry’. He’d never used them before, he always apologized with other words

Three more days had gone by and Vitali was back up on his feet. He was back working again and Our relationship with each other was better too. Today was a Saturday so he was still home. I knew he was going to go to the mafia house to see the overall running of things , plus the fact that he was ambushed by his own men, today was going to be a tough day for all his men. I lay on my bed dumb scrolling through my phone when I heard a knock on the door. I was about to get up and get it when the door flew open “Why do you always never wait for me to get the door ?” I chuckled lightly“I’m an impatient man . “ he shrugged and I rolled my eyes in response. “How do you feel this morning ?” I asked, wrapping my arms around his neck “Good as new “ he pressed a kiss to my forehead His eyes locked onto mine as he reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair behind my ear."Hey," he whispered, his voice low and husky. "Can I make it up to you?" My eyes searched his, looking for any s

When we got home, it was already dark outside. It was well past 6:30 pm and I was so hungry. After we’d freshened up, Vitali ordered some pasta from a restaurant and that was what we had for dinner. The pasta was nice but I felt it could have been better. After we had eaten, we sat down in the living room to see a movie. It was a comedy series that I’d been following up for a while now, so I was really engrossed while Vitali was just watching to make me happy.His fingers traced the curves of my face, his eyes burning with adoration as he gazed at me.“You’re distracting me”. I whined“I’m just trying to stay awake “ he defended “What do you mean stay awake? Are you saying that my favorite series is boring ?” I gasped dramatically “You can’t blame me. I haven’t even laughed since we started and we’re already two episodes down” he yawned “Did you just yawn? That’s rude” I hit his shoulder “I’m sorry” he laughed, his hand drifting down to my neck, his touch sending shivers dow

“Are you willing to tell me why you stopped schooling? “ Vitali asked me as he drove us to my family house. I’d been pleading with Vitali for some time now to let me go back to my old neighborhood and he finally agreed.I was so happy when he did, I’d literally been grinning from ear to ear all through this morning.“Elizabeth, can you hear me?” Vitali nudged my arm “Um…yeah sorry. Can you please repeat yourself?” I cleared my throat“I asked why you’re no longer attending school” he replied, giving me a look “Ohh… about that, the thing is; I kinda lost the spark. I don’t feel motivated to anymore “ I replied honestly“Why?” He sought, focusing on the road “Really? You’re gonna ask me why?” I threw him a sour look“I’m sorry, I just wanted to know what it was exactly “ he apologized “Here’s what it is. I’d never been someone who had many friends or enjoyed making friends and hanging out and all that, so when you gave me your rules about not making friends and all that, it wasn’t

Vitali reluctantly joined me inside the house, he and my dad didn’t say much to each other and Vitali didn’t stay to have brunch with my dad and I He claimed to have an online meeting so he went back to the car. I knew that was an excuse, I felt he and my dad just didn’t like each other enough to spend much time together and it didn’t bother me because I was certain that with time all that was going to change for the better. Eventually, Vitali left me alone at my dad’s house but he was back three hours later to pick me up My dad kept asking if Vitali treated me poorly, I knew he was just looking out for me and I was also certain he thought I was hiding something.I tried my best to convince and he stopped pushing it. ************************ “I can’t believe I did that “ Vitali facepalmed “Well I can” I shrugged We had gone skinny dipping together in the pool outside and Vitali’s eyes had fallen on the scar he gave me on my chest.“I’m so sorry. Fuck! I’ve done you so many w

“What’s going on?” I whispered I was very certain this was going to make the headlines What the freak was he trying to do? I hope this wasn’t another plan to embarrass or make fun of me He smiled, his eyes locked on mine. "I'm here to apologize," he said, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear. "I was wrong to hurt you, Elizabeth. I love you, and I want to make it right." I could hear the loud gasps and whispers ‘How could he love her ?’ ‘Vitali’s in love?’ ‘Eww she’s such a pauper ‘‘He couldn’t find anyone else ?’ And many more condescending comments filled my ears “I’d been a horrible horrible man to you. I’ve treated you badly, so badly you now want nothing to do with me and I want to fix that. Please give me a chance Elizabeth” The air seemed to hang still I tried to speak but my mouth felt dry. Vitali coming out in the public to do something like this was a big deal. Did I really mean that much to him? “Vitali I…” I struggled to find my words “You don’t
Claimed by the Mafia Boss Chapter 118: Elite party
It was a lazy weekend, Zoe had gone to her new workplace. She had quit working at the club and was now working as a waitress in a restaurant nearby. I asked why she quit since the pay was better at the club but she explained that she was relocating and the sexual harassment from patrons at the club was too much It was already time for her to get back but she wasn’t here yet . I was lounging on the couch, scrolling through my phone, when Zoe burst into the room. "Beth, guess what?" she exclaimed, holding up two invitations. I raised an eyebrow, skeptical. "What is it?" "We're invited to Tyler Jackson's company’s anniversary party!" Zoe said, her eyes shining with excitement. “Um…Tyler Jackson as in CEO of TJ corporation, son of multi-millionaire Harris Jackson? “ I widened my eyes in surprise “Yes! That Tyler Jackson “ she squealed“Omg, no freaking way. How did we get invited? He doesn’t even know us “ I wondered “Honestly …I don’t know. I just found two invitations with bo

BETH’S POV:Zoe and I sat on the couch, sipping some fresh juice and chatting. Zoe had been trying to convince me to give Vitali another chance, but I was adamant that I was done with him.I couldn’t even believe she could even suggest something so ridiculous "I'm telling you, Beth, I think Vitali still loves you," Zoe said, her eyes shining with conviction. "He's been a mess since you left him, from what you just said. He was even able to find you, that’s intentionality right there”“You don’t know that man. He’s doing all this to feed his ego. He actually doesn’t give a fuck “ I argued“I know he hurt you and you’re pissed right now and I also know that you miss him” she replied“No. I do not “ I denied but she could see right through me “I watch you every day Beth, you’re not moving on. You’re hurting so bad it’s eating you up and you still love him. Why not give him a chance to fix this ?” Her eyes held so much emotion And she wasn’t wrong but it didn’t mean I wanted to go back
Claimed by the Mafia Boss Chapter 116: Emptiness
VITALI’S POV:The sound of a man begging for his life is both exquisite and annoying.I stared down blankly at Derek, or so his name was, begging pathetically for his worthless life, like the annoying piece of shit he is. I don't even know why they try.There was no other way out for them. For men like Derek. All they had to do was pay up their debt and by doing so, they made my job less annoying with their bloody pleas.Derek owed me a debt, he wasn’t going to be the first man to find it difficult to pay me back what he owed. But he was going to be the first I’d be dealing with before his deadline was up.His pleas made my ears fucking bleed.It's always the same with men like them. They take loans bigger than their balls and gamble it up and down till there's nothing but their shriveling flesh left to offer when the time comes to pay up.Then they begin to beg, cry, and whine for their pathetic lives. It's so fucking ugly that I want to grab their neck and break it so they never utt

Vitali's grip on my arm tightened as I kept trying to pull away. "Let me go," I repeated, trying to keep my voice steady.My heart beat picking up pace.But Vitali didn't release me. Instead, he pulled me closer, his eyes burning with intensity. "I won't let you go," he growled. "Not until you listen to me."“I’m not interested in whatever it is you have to say, just let me freaking go” I grumbled, trying to struggle against him, but he was too strong. He had pinned me to the wall At this point, Vitali's eyes locked on mine. "I know I hurt you," he said, his voice low and husky. "But I love you, Elizabeth. I need you."I shook my head, to show disbelief. "You don't love me," I spat. "You just want to control me."“No. I didn’t mean it when I said all that Elizabeth “ he confessed but I didn’t believe him “I don’t care, I just want to leave “ I maintained“I’m so sorry Elizabeth. Why can’t you forgive me ?” His eyes were filled with sadness“Because it’s not that easy” I responded

Alvise! “Nothing happened last night “ I stated firmly, shooting daggers at him”How did he even find me?What did he want? “I know and I’m sorry. I promise to make it up to you tonight” he said, gently pulling me up “Are you crazy?” I glared him “Just come with me please “ he smiled “Bye pretty ladies “ he waved at Zoe Rachel and they smiled, waving back I could hear the muffled giggles of the girls as I followed him out “What was the meaning of that?” I frowned once we got to his car I wasn’t exactly mad at him, I knew that was how he goofed around “I’m sorry princess but we gotta go now “ he kicked the engine of the car and reluctantly, I slid in. “Where are we going ?” I asked him in a dull tone “It’s a surprise “ he grinned What surprise could he be talking about?I had a very strong feeling that Vitali was in on this but I was cool.We didn’t drive for long before we arrived at a bungalow.“Where are we?” I turned to Alvise as he brought the car to a halt “Re

VITALI’S POV:Present dayI stood in my office, staring out the window as I waited for news from my men. They had been searching for Beth for days, tracking down every lead, every hint of her whereabouts.It’s been a whole week now and my patience has gone beyond thinJust as I was starting to lose hope, my phone rang. I answered it, my heart racing with anticipation."Vitali, we have a location," said the voice on the other end of the line. It was Vincent I felt a surge of excitement and relief, my grip on the phone tightening. "Where is she?" I demanded."We were able to track the phone call made to you a few days back," said the voice. "It was made from an apartment on the outskirts of town."I felt a wave of relief wash over me. They had found her."Who else is with her?" I asked, my mind racing with possibilities."We're not sure," said the voice. "But it looks like she's staying with a friend."I nodded, my mind working overtime. A friend?I didn’t think she had any, thus, I h

FIVE DAYS AGO:I walked out of the Vitali’s gate, feeling a sense of freedom wash over me. I had finally escaped Vitali's toxic grasp and I was determined to start a new life.I didn’t tell his driver to take me , I didn’t want any help that was linked to Vitali. The plan was to take a cab or a bus, the only problem was that I didn’t know where to goI was certain that if it went to my dad’s, Vitali would find me so easily I needed to go somewhere elseAs I walked to the bus stop, I pulled out my phone and dialed a familiar number. It was Zoe, my former work colleague.We used to work together at the club We were kinda close and we usually covered for each other when either of us would be absent.She also helped me when I got bullied sometimes “Hello is this Zoe please ?” I asked immediatelyShe picked up “Depends on who’s asking “ she replied, her sassy voice was all the confirmation I needed to know she was the oneHearing her voice gave me a nostalgic feeling, it reminded me

VITALI’S POV :I pounded the treadmill, my feet pounding out a furious rhythm. I had been running for hours, but I couldn't seem to shake the pain and anger that had been building inside me.“Beth is gone”What the actual fuck did that even mean?Could she be dead?Did someone have her?Yes, she had left me, and I didn't blame her. I had treated her badly and used her for my purposes. But that didn't change the fact that I missed her, that I wanted her back.That I care about her well-being Who has my wife?Was she kidnapped?Was that why I couldn’t find her easilyIt’s been five days, the kidnappers would at least have called by now.I increased the incline on the treadmill, feeling my muscles burn as I pushed myself harder. I had to keep moving and keep pushing myself. If I stopped, even for a moment, I was afraid of what I might do.I needed to keep myself busy or else I was going to go crazy with impatience I had been working out nonstop for days, trying to exhaust myself into
