Indebted To The Cruel Mafia Boss Cephus' POV
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

Chapter 148Katie's POVWithout her, I have nothing. In the same way, I have nothing without you if you get in trouble. I can’t stop you from doing what you need to do if that’s the best course of action for you… And I’ve already told you I’d do anything for you and wouldn’t mind if your face was the last thing I saw if we’d gotten to that. But if you don’t need to do any of that… To end me… Then you have to let me go.”His eyes glint with quiet determination before I lean to him and place a soft kiss on his lips.He doesn’t move like he’s carved in stone, and I break away from him this time without him stopping me.I’ve never kissed a man like him before. I’ve never kissed a man.They kissed me, and they were boys.My ex included.As I pull away from him, he doesn’t move, yet the heat of his body curls around me as if wanting to make me stay.His eyes burn like his skin, fueled by his turmoil.“I’m going to sleep,” I say. “It’s been an eventful evening.”I pull away from him for goo

Chapter 149Cephus’ POVKatie has slept the whole afternoon, and though I want to wake her, every time I walk into the room to do it, I can’t. She looks so at peace in bed, and I know if I wake her, the peacefulness that resides within her now will be gone.Instead, I sit in the chair across from the bed and watch her delicate body. I appreciate her plump lips, the slope of her back, and the way her mouth parts as she allows a sigh to escape her lips as she sleeps.She is magnificent, and she is mine. No longer able to hold back, I slip back into bed beside her. I need her to wake up. I need to talk to her, tell her how much her life has changed. The moment she saved my life is the moment she became a part of this war.“Piccolo…” I whisper in her ear. She doesn’t move, and for a moment, I think she doesn’t hear me. That is until my eyes sweep across her face. Her big, brown, doe eyes are wide open, peering up at me.“What time is it?” she asks, her voice full of sleep. I smile at the

Chapter 150Cephus' POV“That night he got me out of the basement, the night you came home with that girl,” Katie replies. Fire builds in her eyes when she says that girl. I want to tell her who Alessandra is, but I need to figure this whole Eli thing out first.“What did he do to you?” I clench my teeth, not wanting to hear what he did. Her eyes glaze over, and it is as if she is reliving the whole scene. Her body shakes as a single tear escapes her eye. Had I been that dark and uncaring that I hadn’t noticed someone who is mine, and mine alone, had been violated?“He just wouldn’t leave me alone. He touched me and pushed me down on the stairs in the basement. He told me I was a distraction for you…” She sounds hurt as if she wants me to contradict what Eli said. Except he is right, she is a distraction. She wove herself deep under my skin and somehow made her way into my black heart, causing it to beat again.“Did he…?” I can’t even say it. If he touched her like that, my patience

Chapter 151Cephus’ POVKatie has found a way under my skin, and each day that she is here, I feel myself losing my grip on things. I’m not soft, I can’t be. In this world, there is only strength or weakness. Being weak is certain death, and strength is power, something necessary when you have men breathing down your throat and people shooting at you.“I just don’t want to die yet. I have so many plans… My mom died rather young, and I want to fulfill everything before my time comes.” Her words cause a hole in my chest to form. She’s opening up to me about her mother and her death. God, does it make me feel even more like a fucking asshole for treating her like shit, for putting her through all this. It has to be done, though, softness is a weakness.She sounds defeated as she talks about her mom. I knew when her father came for money what his story was. His wife had died from cancer, so he was alone with a daughter and needed to find a way to make ends meet.“What type of cancer did
