Chapter 75: What a ball should be like

last update Last Updated: 2025-02-12 22:19:28

The grand ballroom was abuzz with the cream of society and the elite high-class socialites.

Everyone looked important, Vitali really did come from a family with strong connections in the business world. Sometimes I wondered why he just didn’t venture into business alone, why did he have to include the mafia?

The room was filled with happy faces and smiling people, all gathered to celebrate the esteemed

Maggie and Charles's annual gala.

I found out that’s what it was called

It was a lovely event, this was what a ball should look like. Not that brothel-themed ball Vitali and I attended the last time.

Vitali and I definitely made a stunning couple. He, dashing in his tailored black tuxedo, his dark hair perfectly styled, and me in a floor-length, strapless red gown that hugged my curves in all the right places. My long, chestnut brown hair cascaded down my back.

We walked slowly, smiling at the camera as we got to the table reserved for us.

I noticed there wasn’t any paparazzi here,

    BETH’S POV : New York City, the city for flashy broadways, exclusive shops, expensive apartments and high flying business tycoons is where the land of opportunity lies. Or so people think.To me it’s the city for depression, unaffordable rent, unbearable traffic, screaming people, bustling roads, gamblers and many more.And in this concrete jungle lies one of the most world famous multi national telecommunications company; The Marino telecom. I looked at it in awe letting my eyes roam the gigantic building as the taxi I boarded drove past. People were walking in and out , everyone looking so busy and professional.I wonder what it’d feel like to work in the corporate world ,what it’d be like to work under a man like Vitali Marino. I have heard stories of his ruthlessness and how he never hesitates to get his staff fired at the slightest act of misconduct but a part of me felt it was all exaggerated, the stories of his ruthlessness and all, surely no one could be that evil.The taxi d

    I had never seen a gun up close before. I felt paralyzed; the amount of shock I had witnessed today was enough to give me a heart attack.The room was so silent, you could hear a pin drop, I could feel my dad’s fear. My heartbeat was so loud I could hear it over the deafening silence. Crak!He cocked the gun, and the fear of losing my father pushed me off the floor, and I found myself clutching at his leg, begging him to take me but forgive my father and let him leave.He didn’t seem to like that, but I didn’t care; I couldn’t lose the only person I had left in this world.I felt two strong arms lift me. It was one of his men.“I’d send my lawyer over tomorrow”And without as much as a glance at me or my dad he was gone.I quickly ran to my dad’s side, he had some bruises and cuts on his face. He seemed to be in so much pain. I got an ice pack from the fridge so he could place it on his bruises while I tried to administer some first aid to the cuts. ****************Later that eveni

    How did he get my number?“Did you lose your ability to speak? “ he snapped when I didn’t say anything for a few seconds“Yes…I mean n..no sir “ I stammered“Have you received the dress?” His voice was low yet it made my insides tremble.“Yes, I have “ I nodded as though he could see me. “Good. You would wear that dress to the ball tomorrow. I hope it’s your perfect size?” “Yes, it is. But I’m sorry, I cannot wear that dress, it’s too revealing and the shoe is way toouncomfortable, I….““Elizabeth …” It sounded like a warning the way he said my name and my mouth clamped shut. “I wasn’t asking. See you at the ball” And with that, he ended the call. Well….that didn’t go too well. I sat my frustrated ass down murmuring to myself that I would not wear that dress tomorrow but deep down in me, I knew I didn’t have the guts to disobey him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I watched the clock as I got ready, I didn’t own makeup so I applied light powder, a little bitof mascara and a pink lip gloss

    I couldn’t believe he just said that.“S…sir?” My voice trembled, giving away my fear“I do not like repeating myself" his voice was dangerously low.Tears welled up in my eyes. No man had ever seen me naked.“Please, sir ….I …I can’t. You can’t ask me to do that,” I pleaded, hoping to change his mind. “I can ask you to do whatever, You belong to me !” He growled possessively or angrily …or both.“As your slut?” I sniffed remembering when someone asked whose slut I was at the ball.He stood up and walked slowly towards me. I watched him, he had a perfectly toned body. Hissmooth hairless broad chest begged me to run my hands over them.What was I thinking, why was I having such thoughts towards him? I internally face-palmedHe stopped very close to me, so close that our chests almost touched. He smelled delicious and it made my core throb. I need to stop having this kind of thought but I almost couldn’t help it.He was drop-dead gorgeous and handsome and everything a woman’s dream ma

    A knock on my door woke me up.“Come in “ I mumbled, hoping they could hear me. “The door is locked ma’am “ a voice said from outsideWith a groan, I got up and after a good stretch I went to open the door.I was surprised to see about 5 ladies standing outside my door.One of them was the maid that showed me to my room last night, a room I haven’t taken a proper look at since I got here. I think her name was Mary. “Erm… what’s going on? “ I asked, surprise written all over my face.“Good morning, ma’am; sorry to bother you so early in the morning, but the boss ordered that I should bring them to get you ready”, the one called Mary answered.“Ready for what? “ I wondered out loud“It’s …it’s your wedding today, ma’am,“ she said, looking surprised that a woman could forget her own wedding.“Ohhh” was all I said as the memories of the night before rushed in. I can’t believe I forgot.“I would have to take my bath and freshen up, you could check back in about 30 minutes “. I told them

    “I didn’t even shoot , I just wanted to scare her. "She’s too weak “ it was the voice of a female. An unfamiliar voice. “Have you lost your fucking mind? “ Vitali’s rage was evident in his voice. “You really think I was going to try to kill your slave? There wasn’t even a bullet in the gun” “Shut the fuck up, Livia!!! And ohh…you better pray because if anything happens to her, you’re gonna pay in so many ways you would not like” Vitali threatened the woman whose name I just learned was Livia. I shut my eyes even tighter, pretending to be asleep. I could feel a slight ache in my head probably from the fall I had earlier. I was tempted to peek through my lashes so I could catch a glimpse of the woman who had held the gun to my head but I was too scared of what might happen if she caught me. I heard her heels clicking towards where I lay. My heart skipped a beat for reasons I could not quite explain. Something about her presence and aura terrified me. “You can end t

    I tried to sit up but the cuffs held me back. “Lay still princess” he frowned. I was no princess , I didn’t want him to call me that.“I’m not fully dressed , they are going to see me like this” my voice quavered.“Be quiet . No one cares about that body “ he mockedSomething about how he said it made me feel so ugly. Embarrased , I fell silent.One of the men was holding a small metal bucket and the other a small rod with a flat head. What were they going to do with a bucket and a rod. I really hoped this wasn’t some kind of kink. He pulled out a glove from his pocket and wore it on his right hand, then collected the rod from the first guy and dipped it into the bucket the second guy held. I think there was hot coal in the bucket because when he pulled the rod out again, it had a flaming red color and what he was trying to do clicked immediately.“Please …don’t hurt me “ I looked at him with pleading eyes.If he heard me , he didn’t show it.“Keep shut, it would sting only a l

    I hummed the tune of my favorite song as I made Livia’s coffee.She had knocked rudely at my door a few minutes ago requesting that I make coffee for her. She didn’t want any of the maids or even the chef to get it done but me. I knew that wasn’t right but there wasn’t much I could do plus, I was really scared of her. I was ready to put it in a tray and go serve her when someone walked into the kitchen.Startled I turned around to see who it was. “Why are you the one doing that?” His voice was as smooth as silk yet firm.“It’s nothing, sir. I don’t mind doing it “ I answered quickly.“That was not what I asked “ he scowled.“I’m sorry, Livia asked that I did “ I bite the inside of my cheek. I didn’t know how to handle his whole attention being on me.“Livia? Do we not have maids? “ a furrow of confusion crossed his face “ we do sir but…” I tried to get the words out without stuttering “Livia! Livia” he called out angrily.“ Vitali …is there a problem? ” she appeared looking from

  • Claimed by the Mafia Boss   Chapter 74:An awkward Situation

    Vitali had left the house after breakfast this morning, he informed me that there would be a ball this evening and we would all be there as a family. He had asked that I get myself ready at about 7 pm or thereabout. I didn’t bother about what I was going to wear because knowing Vitali, he was definitely going to have a dress, shoes and all that ready for me. Feeling a little bored from just laying in my room doing nothing, I decided to leave my room and feed my eyes on the outside world a bit. I also kinda hoped I was going to run into Alvise again. He’d seemed fun. I didn’t see anyone around when I stepped out, seemed like they were either inside their rooms or outside the house. I went outside and decided to sit under a tree and probably read love stories online. Ps: that was one of my favorite things to do I think love is a really beautiful concept and I loved love. “Hey lovely “. A male voice greeted I smiled, thinking it was going to be Alvise but the smile fell off my

    “Who’s that guy?” I asked Vitali as he sat. “ Alvise, my cousin, Maggie’s son. Crazy guy” he answered“I see he’s always like that” I commented “Yeah, he is. But he’s chill though, always got my back” he responded“Do they know that you’re in the mafia “ I whispered I didn’t know why, but I seriously wanted to know I wondered if they knew how dangerous Vitali was. “Yeah most of them do” he nodded “Okay” I nodded too“ So who was that girl?” I asked referring to Erica “Erica right? Well, she used to be my ex-girlfriend but my stupid ass other cousin made her cheat on me and now they are together “ his jaw ticked as he told me “Oh no. I’m so sorry, that must have hurt “ I squeezed his palm“No it didn’t hurt” he chuckled “Are you for real?” I widened my eyes “It wasn’t really anything that serious, I knew she was with me for the money but I was really angry and I still am. She stooped too low and my cousin stooped even lower “ he said bitterly “Ohh. I’m sorry that happened st

    A few minutes after that annoying bitch had gone, Vitali had to leave as well, someone called him on the phone and he had to go outside to take it. “Hey beautiful” Someone greeted, sitting beside me. I looked up to see a man, he looked like he was 21 or a year older than that. “Hi. How can I help you?” I asked, looking around to see if I could find Vitali anywhere because this was kinda awkward for me “I didn’t think of that but since you asked, maybe you could help me go punch that guy in the face, “ he said beckoning at a guy who kept gulping shots after shots of alcohol. It looked like a party in here so I guess he was just in the mood. People were just talking and drinking, there was music playing in the background but it wasn’t loud or chaotic. Everyone looked like they were catching up and having funThis wasn’t called a dinner party for no reason. “And why would I do that?” I thought aloud“Because you asked how you could help?” He gave me a weird look“What is wrong wi

    I was so grateful, he hadn’t taken off my shirt yet. “Fuck! Why didn’t you knock? “ Vitali asked, his hands still around my lower back “I’ve been knocking for so long. I thought something had happened so I decided to try the the handle. I’m sorry” she apologized again“Do you need help with something? “ Vitali asked “Not at all. I just wanted to call you both down for dinner “ she explained “Oh…hi Beth “ she waved at me And I waved back, a huge blush spread on my face I couldn’t believe that she had caught us like this. It wasn’t a biggie but Gosh, it made me feel so embarrassed.After she’d left, I quickly got off his laps “You look so cute when you’re shy” he chuckled and I glared playfully at him. “I can’t believe she saw us” I shrieked, covering my face.“Relax. It’s not like she saw us having sex “ he rolled his eyes “Are you saying that I’m overreacting?” I gasped accusingly “Of course not my baby, “ he said in a flirty voice and got down from the bed too“ I know that

    After about half an hour, we were done with all the cooking and it all smelled really delicious. I couldn’t wait for dinner time which was barely an hour away. “Thank you so much, sweetie, you should go freshen up and have some rest. I’ll let you know when it’s dinner time “ she smiled in appreciation.“You’re welcome. “ I smiled back. I almost wasn’t able to locate our room, I knocked on the first door that looked like ours and an unfamiliar long-haired man opened the door. I had to apologize and ask for Vitali’s room, explaining that I’d just lost my wayThankfully he was friendly, he directed me to Vitali’s room and I thanked him. When I got to the door, I had an idea so I decided to knock first. “Who is it ?” Vitali’s deep voice called out “It’s me Samantha” I replied, holding my nostrils so I would sound different “ Samantha? What are you doing here ?” He asked What did he mean?Did he actually know a Samantha?“I miss you” I replied still holding my nostrils “Oh, baby.

    “Sorry for the delay” I apologized immediately after I entered the kitchen“It’s alright darling “ Maggie smiled warmly at me “So what do you need me to do?” I asked “Start with the eggplant, I’d bring the rest of the veggies “ she instructed handing me a bowl and a knife I bit my lip to hold back a smile because it reminded me of what Vitali had said earlier. It seemed like Maggie was almost done with everything she had to do. And this dish was the last and she was a bit exhausted, hence she asked for my help. After dicing the eggplants and every other vegetable, I helped out with blending and wiping the counter. The kitchen wasn’t a small one but it was clean and well organized There was more than one sink, I used one to wash the utensils she was done using while she used another to wash her hands and whatever else. The moment he stepped his foot inside the kitchen, I knew.His smell filled my nose, despite the domineering smell of herbs and spices, I could still perceive h

    “Why don’t you have any tattoos?” I asked, running my fingers down the length of his arm “I don’t like them. I prefer to look this way” he answered, his hands undoing the lace behind my top. “Oh that’s surprising “ I chuckled “Why is that?” He cocked a brow “Well, all your men have one. All the men I’ve seen you around too, the mafia men, they all have one “ I shruggedEven the men at the club and the ball all had a tattoo or the other So it was quite surprising that Vitali who was a whole mafia boss didn’t even have a tiny one “Yeah. Sometimes, to get initiated, you need to get a kind of tattoo on specific parts of your body” he explained “Then why don’t you have one, weren’t you initiated?” I wondered “I was but that happened when I was young. It’s really complicated but I wasn’t initiated with a tattoo “ he tucked a strand one hair behind my ear “Okay so…” I started to say “Elizabeth shh…” he purred in my ears and I immediately forgot the words I wanted to sayHe leaned c

  • Claimed by the Mafia Boss   Chapter 67: Visiting

    A few days had passed since Dad pulled his crazy stunt. Now I knew Vitali would be very skeptical in letting him come visit and his reasons were valid. I wouldn’t trust someone who had tried to kill me so I didn’t blame him at allVitali had earlier announced that we’d be spending a few days with Maggie, Charles and a few other relatives. Carefully, I packed my bags. “Are you set?” Vitali asked, putting his head through the small opening in my door “Almost done “ I called out putting in the last of my stuff. After I was done, I took my bags downstairs so Vitali’s bodyguards could put them in the trunk of the carSoon our journey beganI gazed out the car window as the city gave way to rolling hills and lush green forests. I and Vitali had been driving for hours, and the scenery was a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives.I didn’t know where we were going, asides from the fact that Maggie and Charles lived in a different cityVitali, sensing my restlessnes
