Deadly Game; Seducing the Ruthless Mafia Lord Chap 19
Cassius’s POV "What the hell is going on here?" I asked as I stepped out of the elevator, my eyes narrowing at the tense standoff in front of me. Delia turned to me immediately, flipping her hair back dramatically. "Ask your rude cook," she sneered, throwing a deadly glare at Crystal. "She almost killed me. Gosh… my wrist hurts." She whimpered, cradling her wrist like it had been snapped in two. "Stop the pathetic show," Crystal said flatly, her arms crossed over her chest. "You attacked me first." Delia gasped. "You called me Cassius’s pet," Crystal blinked, her brows furrowing. "What? When did I?" Delia stepped closer to me, her chin lifting. "You have really given her too much space. You need to teach her that she is a mere cook and shouldn’t insult someone higher than her." Crystal let out a dry chuckle, shaking her head. "Higher, indeed," she scoffed, rolling her eyes. I exhaled sharply, already exhausted by whatever ridiculous drama this was. "Did you really call

Zara's POV I placed my hand on my racing chest, trying to steady my breath. My heart pounded against my ribs, my pulse erratic as I leaned against the desk. I still couldn't believe it—standing up to Cassius these days like I had a death wish. A Mafia Lord at that. Ruthless, dangerous, feared by everyone. But now that I thought about it... the only ruthless part of him was the killing. Apart from that, he seemed almost—normal. Cool, even. But nothing, absolutely nothing, could change the fact that he was a monster. Damn it. I hadn't been doing my work these days. My mission. The entire reason I was here. I was in his office, but what had I done so far? Nothing. I should have planted a tracker by now, bugged his devices—something. But would he even talk about his Mafia business in his own workplace? Probably not. But I had never been this distracted on any mission before. Ever. What the hell was wrong with me? Hell, I had even fought that Delia bitch. Not my fault, though. S

Delia’s POV Fury Yeah, that's the best word to describe what I'm feeling right now. Ever since this poor rat came for her interview, I had known she would be a problem to my relationship with Cassius. Something about her had screamed trouble, but she looked too fragile, too harmless then. I had shaken off my suspicions, convincing myself she was just another desperate girl looking for a job. But now, watching her, I realize I had been a fool. She wasn’t just here to work as a cook. She had an ulterior motive—I could feel it in the way she moved, in the way she held herself around Cassius. She was trying to prove something, trying to act like she was tough, like she wasn’t just another pest that could be easily crushed. How dare her? How dare she think she can come here and take Cassius away from me? Do I look like a joke to her? Well, I’m gonna show her exactly who she’s messing with. I am gonna show her that i don’t share what’s mine. My nails dig into my palm as I wat

Zara’s POV I held my chest as I got down from the taxi, paid the taxi man, and headed inside. Nah. I need to see a doctor. This consistent beating of my heart needs to be checked. Is it arrhythmia? That better be it, ’cause tell me why my heart beats so fast these days. But today, it was definitely because of fear. Yeah, that’s what it was. I was afraid he’d find the earpiece, and thankfully, that bitch had separated us just in time. I fell onto my bed as I entered my room, my back hitting the mattress, my gaze fixed on the emerald ceiling. My heart was still racing. Dammit. I fucking need to get checked. I had been too stressed these days, and it was definitely taking a toll on me. A sharp voice crackled through the earpiece still in my ear. "Zara?" It was Xander. He only called me by my name when it was serious, and I could hear the concern laced in his voice. I exhaled and replied, "Xan? I’m here." "Are you okay? You got me worried," he said, his voice a notch softer.

I froze. His lips moved against mine with a force that sent a shiver down my spine. It was rough, demanding, completely overwhelming. My fingers twitched at my sides, my breath caught in my throat as he tilted his head, deepening the kiss. Damn. His lips were so soft against mine, and he knew how to kiss. Like fucking knows how to kiss. But wait? What the hell was happening? Why had he suddenly kissed me? Could it mean my tactics had been working so far? I have finally able to capture the Mafia King in the tip of my fingers? Heck, Xander would be so pleased to hear this. Then, his hand slid to the back of my neck, holding me in place as if daring me to resist. My heart pounded so loud I could barely think again. Every rational thought crumbled beneath the intensity of his kiss. Fuck. I hated the way my body reacted to him. Hated that his lips were so warm against mine, devouring every bit of it as if he had been deprived off it for years. Nah, am I supposed to be feeling thi

"Get your ass here, now!" The devil’s familiar voice came through my phone mouthpiece. Dammit. i had barely fallen asleep. I groaned, throwing my phone onto the bed as I rubbed my temples. The past week had been nothing short of torture. If I wasn’t running errands, I was scrubbing every corner of his ridiculously large house. And when I wasn’t cleaning, I was dealing with his absurd demands—ones that seemed to have no end. I really don't know if he was punishing me for the kiss or for buying a Lamborghini. Hell him. Both wasn’t even my fault. I hadn't asked him to kiss me and he had challenged me, and I had took the challenge head on. Now what? With an exaggerated sigh, I stomped toward the bathroom, my bare feet slapping against the cold tiles. I turned on the faucet and splashed water on my face, shivering as the coldness jolted me fully awake. I glared at my reflection in the mirror. My hair was a fucking mess, and my eyes were slightly puffy from exhaustion. I wiped

Delia’s POV"What?"I felt my chest tighten, my fingers twitching as I glared down at the five men kneeling before me. "We are sorry, ma. Cassius suddenly showed up, and we had to run for our lives," Goto, the leader, stammered, his head bowed. The others followed suit, lowering themselves as if that would make up for their failure. Cowards. My lips curled in disgust as I slowly stood, my nails digging into my palm. "Is that an excuse?" I hissed, my voice razor-sharp. I snatched the glass from the table beside me and threw it with force. It shattered against the marble floor, shards flying in all directions as i watched them flinch. Pathetic. "You could have gotten killed for all I care." I said coldly. If they were weak enough to be taken down, they were useless to me. "We are sorry, ma. The girl was really strong." Bob, the least injured of them, dared to add that nonsense. I turned on him so fast he barely saw it coming. My palm met his face with a brutal slap. He gaspe

Zara's POV I opened my eyes slowly, blinking against the dim light filtering through the room. My head throbbed like a damn war drum, and my body felt like it had been run over by a truck. Damn. Where the hell was I? I tried to sit up, wincing as a sharp pain shot through my ribs. My surroundings slowly came into focus—a familiar, dark-toned room with sleek furniture and the faint scent of cologne and expensive whiskey clinging to the air. Then my gaze landed on the broad, tiger-tatooed bare back of a man standing at the edge of the bed. My stomach clenched. Cassius. He was rolling up his sleeves, his muscles shifting under his skin as he reached for a shirt. His presence alone made my skin prickle, but what made my pulse quicken was the realization of where I was. I was in his bed. Then, everything came rushing back, he had sent me on an errands and some guys had attacked me. Wait...could it be that— "You’re awake," Cassius's voice cut through my thoughts as he turne

Deadly Game; Seducing the Ruthless Mafia Lord Chap 30
Zara's POV I really can't believe what's happening; someone is impersonating Cassius. So, it hadn't been him killing all those people. Jeez, a part of me felt relieved that he wasn't as bad as I had thought, but he still killed other people; the same way I killed some people. Maybe not out of malice, but out of necessity. To survive. It's not like I am pure, by the way. Wait...what if it was Cassius and that he had sent someone on his behalf to do that. I remembered yesterday when he had said 'Get rid of him' on the call. What if Cassius had been orchestrating this all along, pulling strings from the shadows while someone else did the dirty work? I paced the small space of my apartment, my mind racing. Could Cassius really be behind this, orchestrating the kills while keeping his hands clean? Or was there truly an imposter out there, framing him for the bloodshed?Cassius wasn’t exactly a saint, and I knew that cos I have seen it myself as he marked that poor soul. But something

Cassius's POVI rubbed my temples as I sat back on the bed. Delia picked up her clutch, dropped it on the table, and walked toward me."Cassius..." she called, her voice soft."Delia, what are you doing here?" I asked, struggling to keep my voice in control."I came to see you, Cassius." she said. "How many times have I told you not to come except I asked you to?" Her eyes softened, and she took a step closer, her hands reaching out to touch my face. I let her fingers trace my jawline, feeling nothing but emptiness."But you never called, Cassius. And I missed you," she whispered, her eyes pleading."And you could have waited for me downstairs." Her hands froze, and her eyes narrowed with frustration. "Cassius, are you being like this because of that... thing? No, Cassius. She has an agenda. She's up to something, don't you see it?"My eyes darkened as I studied her. "What do you think she’s up to?""It's obvious. She's trying to seduce you and run away with your money. She's a poo

Fuck him! I sat up abruptly as i pulled up my leggings, my body still thrumming with need, my fists clenched in the sheets. Cassius just lay there, arms behind his head, looking up at me with that insufferable smirk like he hadn’t just set me on fire and then walked away. Arrogant bastard. "You think this is funny?" I seethed, my breath still uneven. His smirk widened. "I think it's entertaining." I gritted my teeth. He was enjoying this—enjoying seeing me unravel while he sat there completely unbothered, like he had all the control. No. Not happening. I moved before I could second-guess myself, swinging a leg over him so I was straddling his waist. His smirk faltered for a split second—just long enough for satisfaction to spark in my chest. Good. He hadn’t expected that. I leaned down, placing my hands on his chest, feeling the way his muscles tensed beneath my fingers. His breath hitched, barely noticeable, but I caught it. "You like playing games, Cassius?" I murmured, my

I opened my eyes slowly to see Cassius sleeping next to me. Dammit. He looked unfairly hot and handsome with his rumpled hair. When had he come back that I hadn't noticed, and when had I fallen asleep? I looked closely at his sculptured face, my right hand under my face. My fingers twitched as I fought the absurd urge to trace the sharp angles of his jawline. Get a grip, Zara. This was Cassius—ruthless, arrogant, and absolutely off-limits. Still, I couldn't deny that there was something unsettling about seeing him like this—so still, so…human. The usual sharpness in his features was softened in sleep, his lips slightly parted, his brows relaxed. Even his breathing was calm and steady, a stark contrast to the chaos he usually carried around him like a second skin. My chest tightened. He had come back. At some point during the night or early this morning, he had returned and slipped into bed beside me, unnoticed. Which meant one of two things: either I had been too exhausted to se
