Cephus' POVIt had been three days since Romeo and Katie were put in the cell. I tried not to worry or overthink it, but it was difficult. That morning, I took a cool bath and dressed up before ordering that food be given to the prisoners.Afterwards, I left the mansion and headed straight to the club. As I entered, I noticed people whispering and stealing glances at me. I couldn't hold it in any longer and approached two girls who were whispering to each other and staring at me, obviously."What is going on?" I asked the girls who shivered, and went mute immediately."Excuse me?" The girls asked, and avoided sharing eye contact with me."What are you two talking about? Why were you staring at me?" I asked, and they both gulped audibly, and I noticed how pale and nervous their faces looked."We are sorry, It's nothing important though" The second girl, who seemed different from her friend replied."You had better talk if you don't want me to punish you. Don't annoy me!" I growled, poi
Katie's POVI sat at the dimly lit corner booth of the cozy Italian restaurant, my fingers nervously tapping against the wine glass. Romeo, my best friend and confidant, slid into the seat opposite me, a concerned expression etched on his face."What's eating you up, Katie?" Romeo asked, his voice filled with genuine worry.I sighed, my eyes fixed on the flickering candle between them. "It's Cephus, Romeo. I just can't seem to get him out of my mind."Romeo leaned forward, his eyes searching for me. "You know he's our mob boss, right? It's not exactly a healthy obsession, Mar."I rolled my eyes, frustration evident in my voice. "I know, I know. But just imagine, Romeo, how incredible it would be if Cephus actually liked me back. We could be together, truly happy."Romeo chuckled, shaking his head. "You've got quite the imagination, Mar. Cephus is a powerful man, and he's got a lot on his plate. I doubt he has time for love."My eyes sparkled with determination. "That's you're wrong, R
Cephus' POV"I'm really disappointed in you, Cephus," She said, and I rolled my eyes."Why would you be disappointed in me?" I asked back, fiercely."What you did was wrong and bad, obviously. Why would you do that to your own wife?" She asked, and my eyes blinked fast. I felt confused for a moment."My wife?" I asked, and she let out a loud scoff."Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. Do you have amnesia now? Have you forgotten that you married Katie? She is your wife for goodness sake, Cephus!" She said aloud, the veins on her neck popping up.I gasped softly, and my eyes widened. How did that suddenly escape from my mind? I hated the fact that I made myself a fool in front of her."You shouldn't have done that to your wife. No matter how she defiles you, the least you should have done was to caution her. Furthermore, If she was stubborn about the whole thing, you could have reported her to all of us" She scolded, with mixed emotions.I laughed and shook my head. "A
Cephus' POVExiting the sleek black Cadillac, I cast a lingering gaze upon the structure standing before me. The dwelling seemed a far cry from the opulence that would have embraced him had he chosen to remain within the folds of my gang. The stark contrast between his current abode and the lavish lifestyle he could have enjoyed within our ranks weighed heavily on my mind as I surveyed the unassuming facade.He was doing really well with us, a reliable and trusted member of our group. When Marcus decided to part ways with the gang, I sensed there must be a significant reason behind his choice. Marcus, being the kind of man he was, kept his reasons close to the chest, leaving me curious and somewhat surprised. Little did I anticipate finding myself in this situation, but with Romeo finding himself serving some time behind bars, I'm in need of a temporary replacement to fill the void especially since I needed to catch Felix. The unexpected turn of events has prompted me to consider the
Katie's POVI was still in the cell with Romeo. He told me some jokes and I couldn't help but laugh and smile. I guess he just wanted to make me happy since I had been depressed since morning.I didn't like the fact that I was in the cell, and he certainly noticed this. In order to spice up the mood and place a smile on my face, he told me a few jokes, and some funny and happiest moments of his life."I am jealous of you though" I said, taking my eyes down."What? Why?" He laughed, his voice surprised and confused."I mean, you seem to have lots of fun and happy moments. I am jealous because of that" I confessed and he scoffed."Oh, Come on, Katie! Everyone sure has one or two happiest moments in their lives. It is one of the vivid things an individual remembers" He said softly and I shook my head."I doubt that, I am a witness," I said quickly. "Why can't I remember any of my happy and fun moments then? Or don't I have memories? It would even be better if I don't have these memories
Katie's POV"What do you think you are doing?" I yelled angrily, with tears in my eyes.Cephus cared less though. He simply led me away to the sitting room and threw me on the couch."Ugh!" I grunted, frustrated.He let out a deep sigh, and I glared at him."Take those fucking eyes down. You dare not glare at me that way. Have you forgotten who I am? Who the fuck do you even think you are!" He barked, dangerously and a scoff ran out from my lips."Are you playing with me right now, young lady? Shouldn't you be glad that I even released you. If I really wanted to punish you, I would have you locked for many years without eating anything" He said, his eyes angry like a wolf."I didn't ask to be released" I muttered, not minding if he would yell or torture me."What?" He whispered, shaking his head."Why would you release only me? Shouldn't Romeo be forgiven too? He didn't even do anything wrong so why!" I yelled, tearfully."I see that you haven't learnt your lesson. Shouldn't you be gl
Katie's POVI stood up to leave, but I couldn't, hell, I couldn't even move my legs. Questions flooded my mind and I took one step followed by the other. Soon enough I was at the door, but my mind wasn't settled. I was curious and when I am curious, I'm like a cat, but I won't die.Turning back on my heels, Romeo rolled his eyes knowing I was not going to listen to him about going home even if it was so late at night.“What do you want?” His voice sounded so lazy, but I knew he was tired, it was just an act to keep me away. “Nice try, but I'm going anywhere.”“Do not be stubborn Mar, Cephus can be here any minute, and you know damn well that he doesn't like you to begin with.”“Cephus doesn't like anyone, isn't that obvious? He can do whatever he wants to for I care, but I want to know everything about Garret and what business you have with him.” He looked me deep in the eyes before raising his eyebrows and letting out a little laugh.“Mar you were close to leaving, I mean you only n
Felix's POV"Cephus is here to collect his debts." A sick smile appeared on his face and if I wasn't scared I would have vomited everywhere. Katie, When my mother died, her life insurance policy left my father and I enough money to make ends meet. We are not rich, but we have no problems either. My father always told me we had good money. This man must have the wrong family and when he finds out the truth he will regret what he did to me. "You are wrong, we have no debt. You must have the wrong family. This is all a misunderstanding. But if you go now, we won't impose any price. ”The man just nodded and chuckled. "Cephus will be happy to fuck every hole on your body. Then when he's done with you and you're ready to kill, I'll fuck you once..."" What are you doing? Are you doing it anyway?" I looked at him with a strong heart, anger foaming in my heart. Why does this man think he has the right to say something bad, and ugly to me? Who is Cephus? "Shut up!" he growled and held me t
