Indebted To The Cruel Mafia Boss Katie's POV
Chapter 140Katie's POVI have a feeling he purposely evades my eyes, and he might be doing it because he has something to hide.I’m curious, so I keep my stare glued to his face.He edges closer and finally brings his eyes to me.They narrow against the sun and hold a look that's different than what I routinely see on him.“Things all right?” I ask when he pulls an armchair closer like we’re about to talk.“Yeah, yeah…” he says, although a shred of tension is woven in his voice.My eyes slide to his chest since his shirt is open at the neckline.His skin is smooth over his pecs.“I saw you talking on the phone. Is everything all right?” he asks, gesturing at my phone.“Yes. Everything is fine.”“Your sister?”“She’s fine, too.”My voice is less upbeat this time, and my eyes trail away from his.“Are you sure?”“Yes. She misses me. And I miss her too,” I say, bringing my eyes back to him, and I catch him looking at my body.Suddenly, my swimsuit feels too small, covering too little, a

Chapter 141Katie's POVI put a lot of effort into making sure I look fantastic tonight.Maybe it’s because I’m still wrestling with frustration.Maybe it’s because I’m still horny.And maybe it’s because I want to regain my dignity.It’s not like I made a move on him––frankly, I wouldn’t know how to pursue men––but his comment was more than telling.It stung a little. I must say.I haven’t even tried to do that with high school boys.That part of my life has never happened.Have I thought about having sex, losing my V-card, and all that crap?Quite a few times, but it just didn’t feel right.When the other girls were having sex, I was trying to stay alive.So yes, it has never been a priority of mine.Can anyone blame me? No. I don’t think so.I’m still confused when it comes to Cephus Salla and the things he does to my body. Sometimes without even touching me.But I’m not confused when it comes to the dress I want to wear tonight.The black dress he’d picked for the other nightlies

Chapter 142Cephus’ POVWhen I go to the casino, time stops, people freeze, and the animation fades, everything becomes a muted scene with no life in it.I used to get all the eyes in the room when I walked in.I get them now, too, but not before they take her in first.Katie has no idea what’s going on.Her cheeks are flushed. Maybe it’s from the sun today, or maybe it’s from walking next to me.Her hair and eyes steal the show.I’ve never seen someone more magnetic in my life, and I’ve seen women covered with glitter, clad in sequined costumes, wearing feathers and tiaras.I run the kind of business where magnetism is instrumental in making money.People like to be distracted, see magnificent things, and fully experience them.That’s what makes this even more fascinating.The way she draws people’s eyes to herself without even knowing is astounding.Even I’m distracted by her dress.Not only that.I couldn’t think straight the entire day.The image of her almost naked in that lounge

Chapter 143Cephus’ POVI’m doing my due diligence to prevent it, and then I get this kind of shit?Why?I’m paying the right people not to have FBI agents at my door.Vito looks at me without answering.“I can’t get in touch with my people right now. I don’t know who’s ratted us out or why.”Yes, it could be the FBI agents who are on my payroll. Maybe they have become susceptible to blackmail.Or maybe there is a new player in town, overbidding me. Offering more.This is not about the money, after all. I have money. I’ve already given them too damn much, but I could up that sum.This is about power.“That Boris guy…” Vito says, his voice trailing off as he unbuttons his jacket and slides into an armchair.“Yeah… I know.” I mutter, reaching inside the drawer and going for my pack of cigarettes.I retrieved one and put it between my lips.Fire goes through my veins, and I’m so tense I could easily break someone’s neck.I crash into my seat and light my cigarette.“I knew it was all a d

Chapter 144Cephus’ POVShe looks normal, although there’s nothing normal about her roaming around.And she knows that.I look at the time stamp.This happened a few moments ago.“She’s gone,” I say, pushing up and yanking my suit jacket off the back of my chair before putting it on.“Where are you going?” Vito asks.“I’m going after her.”“Where?”“I don’t know,” I say, shrugging and sliding my pack of cigarettes into my pocket.I fucking hate this shit.I take it out and push it back into the drawer.They look at me when I lift my gaze.“I don’t need you.”“Are you serious, Boss?”“Yes. I fucking am. There is so much going on right now that me going after that fucking girl matters to no one.”With that, they stay behind while I head straight to my suite.* * *First, I check her room.There are things in my head. Things I couldn’t say out loud.So, I want to make sure I was right about her and didn’t lose my touch.I walk in and make a beeline for her room without as much as glancin

Chapter 145Katie's POVA lot is happening around me.And I mean a lot.There are so many people, voices, lights, and sounds.The crowd is having a good time while I try not to stumble and make a fool of myself.I pay attention to how I walk, sit, and speak.Well, I don’t speak much. I mostly take in the world swirling around me.It’s strange and intense at times as everyone seems to be a bad joke away from shifting from joyful exhilaration to having a nasty argument.This world is theatrical and volatile, yet Cephus doesn’t seem to be like that.He observes everything with undisguised thoughtfulness, reading the clues and participating in the conversations, yet still keeping his cool and being reserved.I think he’s seeing what I’m seeing.And maybe I’m learning from him to just sit and listen and, more importantly, read the room.I furtively glance at him.His eyes move around the room, but all I see is his magnetism. Pure testosterone flows through his blood, fueling his power over

Chapter 146Katie's POVA sigh leaves my chest, and my eyes fly to the window.I wish I could go outside––have some fresh air.I push my chair back and walk to the wall of windows.Lights play outside in a magical dance of perdition. I slide the glass doors open and walk onto the terrace.The evening air gives me a chill, and it’s cooler than I expected. My eyes move to the world outside, the cars and people on the sidewalks.I could be right there right now. Getting lost in that crowd and forgetting that I can’t get any sleep.What if I go down there?The idea sounds crazy, especially since I have no business being there. But… I would be outside only for a few minutes.Half an hour, maybe.I spin around and go straight to my room, where I remove my necklace and deposit it in the drawer before picking up a jacket from the closet.The problem is… How do I get out?I’m sure I can’t use the elevator without running into his bodyguards.I’ll find a way.I collect my purse and quietly snea

Chapter 147Katie's POVThe bright world of Las Vegas ends where the desert begins.If you turn your back to the city and just look into the night, your whole life has a different feel.You forget about the angst of living and ugly people making your life unlivable at times.I don’t remember a time in my life when I felt so alone.I miss my home, and I miss Tina and Jen. I even miss my old job with its grueling hours and rowdy crowds.I wish I could go back to that without facing my father's wrath, but that’s not possible.And he is no longer possible.He has no place in our lives.I stare at the starry sky, wishing so many things for myself and Tina, most of which seem impossible.And then I look back at the brightly lit city, and it’s like staring at my destiny.And I’m not sure I want to go back, but on the other hand, I know I can’t fight it.So I go.After spending a few more moments enjoying the view, I make the trip back.I arrive at the hotel around midnight and park my car in
