Indebted To The Cruel Mafia Boss Cephus’ POV
Chapter 102Cephus’ POVWe returned to the olive orchard and sat on a blanket under a tree.I could swear it was the same blanket. It looked the same, anyway.And then she started to talk and tell me about her family, how they’d lost her father and struggled to work the land and support themselves.And I heard every word coming out of her mouth, yet I couldn’t make sense of anything she was saying.I was so affected by her presence.I couldn’t take my eyes off her as she finally came out of her shell and showed me that she liked me as much as I liked her.We became friends and were confined to each other.And I immediately felt like she’d have my back if something bad happened, and my mind ran away with that idea.And for the first time ever, I imagined someone like her to have a family of my own one day.Have a wife and children.And it quickly dawned on me how impossible that was.Like her hair being tamed, sitting nicely in her ponytail, it was simply impossible.I had a family and

Chapter 103Cephus’ POVLater, people said she was kidnapped and eventually trafficked anyway.Others said she’d been executed with her husband after he got into a bad deal with some nasty people.Whatever it was, she was gone.My cousin directed me to the cemetery, where fresh flowers sat on her grave, and her picture was encased in the tombstone.My heart stopped when I saw her.She was even more beautiful than I remembered her.Her long, unruly hair framed her face, and her lips were curved into a soft smile. Like she was smiling at me.As if she knew I’d be there one day, looking at her and recollecting those hours I’d spent with her.I had a hard time believing she was dead.I had a hard time convincing myself I was truly looking at her burial place.It was insane. Her story was insane.And I sat there and tried to understand why life would go so bad so fast.How that summer that seemed like any other summer would be the last good thing before tragedy struck.Only a few years bac

Chapter 104Cephus’ POVI barely walk out of the event room, where Katie Leto indulges in her food when Vito and Gianni tear away from the cushy armchairs in the hallway and head my way.“How was it, Boss?”“Fuck you, Gianni. That’s how it was.”He grins and winks at Vito while I run my fingers through my hair, smiling, still walking, not stopping to chat with them.At once, they spin around and follow me.“Where is the motherfucker who was supposed to interview this woman?”“The club manager?”“Are you clever with me now?” I toss at Vito, who struggles to keep up with me as I move briskly toward my office. “I thought you knew everything about her by now,” I say.“I do.”He reaches inside his pocket despite knowing my vehement aversion to phones.Anything digital makes my skin crawl as it’s such an expenditure and an around-the-clock operation to keep us safe.We use digital things in our legit businesses, like security cameras and, yeah, some phones.I was about to say the safe–depos

Chapter 105Cephus’ POVThat doesn’t mean our animosity for each other hasn’t soared and is not fueled by occasionally getting wind of the crap he’s doing.And also, occasionally, he must tiptoe around my business.I’d be surprised if he hadn’t talked to his boss and tried to sell him the idea that they could do more business if someone other than me was here.They’d even put down a good chunk of money if they knew they could trade living things that come in the shape of beautiful, vulnerable women like that girl, Katie Leto.My eyes go back to the screen, and I catch her just as she pushes her chair back, picks up her purse, looks around the room, and makes a beeline for the exit.The staff walks in to clean the table while she looks for her way out.“Vito?” I murmur, my eyes still pinned on the woman.He starts to speak.“Katie Leto lived all her life in LA at the same address.”I glance at him, making sure he’s not reading shit from his phone. He peeks at a scrap of paper where he’

Chapter 106Katie’s POVEarlierI look at my plate before peering at the view outside, filled with dread that I need to return.Sure, the man said I could stay a little longer, but how long is that?Besides, I’d rather go back to my car before the night sets in.“Fuck…” I murmur quietly, running tense fingers over my brow.I like it here. The temperature is nice. The view is beautiful, and the food is good. I look at the plates of food on the table.I wish I wasn’t stuffed. Ignoring that, I eat more food to hold me over until I return to the hotel tomorrow morning.Beau is surely waiting for me where I parked the car if he hasn’t moved it already just to fuck with me.He doesn’t need my key to do that. The guy who sold me the car could’ve given him a copy of my key.Although Beau knows how to hot-wire a car.I murmur another ‘fuck’ under my breath and sigh.Adulting sucks. I can say that much. Who needs this crap?I don’t have the answers to my problems.And I don’t know who to trust

Chapter 107Katie’s POVI quickly realize this parking lot looks identical to the one I’ve left my car in.I turn right and then left, and I can’t believe my eyes.Since no one can see me now, I take my shoes off and run as fast as I can, careful not to step on a nail or a piece of glass.Occasionally, I glance over my shoulder, grappling with this strange feeling that I’m being followed.I see no one behind me.The only thing sweeping my back is the sunset, a mix of pink, red, and orange hues.Heaving, I reach my car, fumble through the contents of my bag for my keys, and unlock the door.Oh, my. I can’t believe this. I need to move away from here as quickly as possible. That jerk knows exactly where I am, and I don’t believe for a second that he went back to LA.Yeah. Cephus was scary. But was he scary enough to make Beau change his mind?Did Beau believe me when I said I had a boyfriend? I don’t think so.He must’ve been a little puzzled.And maybe he’s watching me right now, tryin

Chapter 108Katie’s POVThe man groans in pain and grabs the back of my hair with such force that I feel like he might end up wearing my scalp as a trophy by the end of the night, and then something else happens.A thud ripples through the air, and his hand gets removed from me while his body lurches forward, his head going straight through the cracked window.Shards of glass fall to my knees as two beefy men deal with him, and a baseball swings to his back.One guy handles the baseball bat while the other slams my ex’s head into the broken window.I’m thinking we’re getting robbed, and I’m next.And then, I’m thinking they have some shit to settle.And then, I hear them cursing him while hitting him with passion, mumbling something about being chivalrous with a woman.That would be me.Their New York Accents give them away, so I fall back to my rear and look up.These are Cephus’s men. They finish Beau and lift him up.He’s about to crash to my feet when one of the men rubs his hand

Chapter 109Cephus’ POVEarlier“So we’re looking at tables thirteen and twenty-five,” I say.Six of my men are in the room with me.And six big screens transmit live the activity inside the casino.“The guy with the white shirt. And the one with a cap,” I say.We’re all looking at the two men in question.“Two? That’s it?” Vito mutters.“They’re the brains of the operation. There are probably three or four men. Maybe more. Perhaps they have girls with them, too. These soy latte-drinking dudes have made the rounds these months and fucked with the system. The other owners couldn’t prove they’d been stealing. And by stealing, I mean…”“I know what you mean, Boss,” Vito says, crossing his arms over his chest. “What do you want me to do?”I round my desk and crash into my seat before leaning back and clasping my hands at the back of my head.All the men in the room look at me as I speak again.“We teach them a lesson. I don’t know if they’re stupid or they’re stupid. Considering they’re t
