Katie's POVCephus donned a white shirt, a pair of blue trousers and a black suit jacket. He stood by the mirror side and checked himself. When he was satisfied with his look, he turned back to me who was still struggling with finding a decent dress to put on.âYou will come with me today and pretend to be my wife, no questions, get dressed,â he had told me and walked away, leaving no room for questions. I shook my head and followed the order.I was ferreting the closet but I didn't like any of the clothes in time, I hadn't checked it until now, a small scowl marred my face as I rummaged through the closet. 'Why would Cephus get me such indecent clothes?' I hissed inwardly, I was not used to exposing my body, and I wonât start that now."Haven't you figured out what to wear?" His cold voice propelled quakes to my insides, but I didn't respond to him. I continued the search and got hold of a blue dress that looked longer and covered more parts of my body. I picked it up and heaved a s

Katieâs POV"You said my name when we were taking the wedding vows." I reminded him, playing along to his game of being his wife."I wouldn't have asked if I still remember." He retorted."I'm disappointed. Who am I to you?" I asked him, as tears stained my cheeks, I was trying hard not to cry but it didn't work. How can my so-called husband not know my name?"That question is unnecessary now. What I need to know is your name." He insisted.I picked up my purse and glared at him."You should figure it out." I left the room with a flounce. Cephus went after me, he hated that I was making things difficult. He gripped my arms when I got to the living room."Stop making this hard, tell me what your name is." He said, looking into my eyes. I shook my head disappointedly. "Katie!" I shouted and pushed him away. "That's it if you care to know." I hissed and left the living room, I walked into the garage with numbness in my heart, I was too sad to think that Cephus didn't know my name.They

Katieâs POVI introduced myself to other members of the family, I met Phoebe, Jonathan's daughter who was some years younger than me. Jude, the consigliore and his wife, Betty, who was a little woman and I wondered how she got married to a man that huge. I thought of how their bed experience would be and cussed at myself for being so silly. I met Kevin, the underboss and Abigail, Kelvin's wife. Blake, one of the soldiers smiled at me. Carrie, his wife to be was also present. I met a few more people and the others weren't on seats, some were in our outfit that was in another city to handle some businesses.The few ones I met seemed to be very nice to me, aside from Kelvin who didn't spare me a smile, his face was always cold and I was quick to form a nickname for him in my head.

Cephus' POVA smile of satisfaction ran across my lips. I tried hard not to chuckle, by covering my mouth with my palm, while facing downwards. I heard a loud sigh and my facial expression went back to its usual form- A cold and mean one.I took my strong gaze to her and frowned slightly. "What is that supposed to mean? Why did you sigh? Is there a problem?""Yes!" She quickly replied, like she had been waiting for that question. "There is actually a big problem"My eyes blinked in wonder, as I tried to apprehend what she meant, even without explaining."Hold on" I said and briefly shut my eyes before shoving my opened palm on her face. "I think I know what you want to talk about"Her eyes widened like she had been caught red handed. "You do!" She gushed, shockingly.I sighed, showing how furious I was. "Are you saying that you were joking with me?""What!" She exclaimed, and laughed. "Oh, no! Not at all""Then, what are you trying to say?" I asked, my eyebrows knitting.She swallowed

Katie's POVI shivered when he barked at my face and I knew he would do as he said. Anxiety and fear surged inside of me, as I tried hard not to tremble too much. Besides, I didn't want to get hurt. I had to do and say something. Even his face, which was still frowned, was somewhat scary for me to continue looking at."I'm sorry, I will do as you have said" I said, softly and looked down.I heard Cephus heave a sigh of relief and I took my eyes up. "You have made a wise choice" He said and I forced a smile."When do you plan on leaving?" He asked, facing the closet and then hanging the dress back in.I bit my lower lip and looked at him. "Very soon, if you don't mind," I said, feeling nervous."SureâŠ" He gushed and I widened my eyes in surprise. I didn't believe his character would change this way. He looked jovial and happy. I wondered what happened to him."Okay⊠Thanks" I muttered."How about we start packing in immediately!" He said, smiling brightly."Like right now?" I asked, ra

Cephusâ POVI crouched down tiredly on my mahogany brown office chair, cradling my head with my hand as I thought of Katie. A smile found its way to my lips; I waved off the thoughts and receded to the file on my table. I had heaps of them to deal with and it was getting too much for me already. I have been away from the office due to the introduction stuff; I just had to deal with the files before they became too much for me.A knock at the door caught my attention; knowing who it would be, I gave the order for my secretary to come in. A young lady walked into the vast office. She wore a brown dress that revealed most of her back and stopped far below her knees; she had a yellow blazer hung over her shoulders. She was tall and had white skin that glowed with so much Katie, she had long legs she probably liked to reveal."Hi, Cephus," her heels rattled on the tiled floor as she walked toward me. She dropped the files in her hand on the table."It's been a while." She winked at me

Katieâs POVFor some reason, since Cephus introduced me to his mafia family, he moved into my room saying, âWe are married to them, so we have to keep up the act, play along or die, your choice.â Letâs just say, I didnât have a choice in the matter, but if I can help something, I intend to do just that.Cephus woke up early in the morning and I could feel that he had left my side; I opened my eyes when the lights came on but instantly shut them back when Cephus looked toward my side. He strode into the bathroom and had a cold bath before getting out and changing into his workout outfits. When he was done, he donned black shorts, a black singlet and a pair of red sneakers with black socks. He sat up and flexed his muscles. I watched from the corner of my eyes, pretending not to be awake, but I could see everything he was doing.He inserted his Air Pods in his ears and grabbed a black hoodie, he wore it over his head and it stayed on his body. He looked at me one more time before leavi

Katieâs POVI was still staring at him when his phone started to ring, he jumped up from bed and picked up the call."Now?" He asked the caller, whose voice range through the cell clearly."Yes, about two of them broke into the casino again. We were able to capture them, but there are more around. We don't know what might happen, a war is about to break out. Come with your weapons." I could pick from the words the caller was dropping. "We need you over here now." He sat up and pulled out the drawer from the bedside. He ended the call and brought out a pistol. I stood up in fear, I had never seen a gun all my life. He loaded the pistol with some bullets, hurrying towards his closet. I stared at the pistol as it sat innocently on the bed, with fear gripping my mind, I moved away from where I lay down."Are you going somewhere?" I asked him as my eyes were on the pistol on the bed, I wondered how many people my husband had killed in his life, I stopped staring and looked up at Cephus.

Chapter 183Katie's POVAll I see is a blur of him as I try to get my mind and body to function so I can answer him. My legs hit the floor as he pushed me down, releasing me to walk away. His hand grips his hair as he stares at the gun in his other hand and back down to me.âNo. No, itâs not true,â I whimper, tears still falling. âDonât listen to him,â I plead, looking him straight in the eyes.âSilence,â he orders, walking over to me with his hand raised. Will he hit me? Will he hurt me?âThat isnât true!â I shoot back. âNothing he is saying is trueâŠâSilence ensues for a long second before Cephus speaks. âGet the ropes and tape!â he yells to Mack. Iâm lying on the ground on my side when his face comes into my vision.âWas it all a lie, Katie? Was it all some fucked up lie so that you could get into my head? So you could get the inside job done and walk away unscathed?â His voice is so loud in my ears, I push away from him.âWas it?â he shouts, demanding a response, his fingers gripp

Chapter 182Katie's POVâI see it as more of a protective arrangement for both of us. There are legal protections for each of us⊠incentives to keep one anotherâs secrets.âI fixed him with what I hoped was the most vicious look I had in me. âI never went to the cops after you kidnapped me, didnât go running to my parents begging them to find someone to break your kneecaps, and you thought you needed some other way of getting me to keep your secrets?ââIt mattersâŠâ I can hear the anxiety in Mackâs voice. Something is very, very wrong.âWhy does it matter? She was nothing before this whole incident and will be nothing after everything takes place. Sheâs clean. I know it.â Cephus sounds confident, and though I know I have done nothing wrong, if Mack convinces him I did something, I know I am as good as dead.âIt matters because I know sheâs not clean. After Jared called me and told me what Luccio said, I did a little digging on her and found some shit out.âHorror fills my mind. What i

Chapter 181Katie's POVâI was seven or eight, in a regular primary school not far from here.â His right hand moved, grasping for his phone, then he left it alone and pulled my hand he was still holding onto his knee, placing both of his hands over it. If the ring I was wearing was digging in, he didnât give any sign. âIt might surprise you to hear this, Katie, but I was not the best of children.ââShocking revelation.ââI was always targeting kids a bit younger, a bit smaller. The ones I knew wouldnât be able to give me any shit in return. Except this one time, there was this kidâBilly Burke, I remember his name vividlyâand he did give me shit. He told me he wanted me to stop pushing him around and trying to scare him, and no he wasnât going to give me his lunch money, by the way. Iâd never run into this situation before when I was running this scam, so I panicked a bit. I hit him in the face. Told me to his parents.âI didnât know what to say to this.

Chapter 180Katie's POVEven when it gets worked out in the end, it sucks for long-term relationships.âIt had to be even harder to find someone you could enter into the sort of long-term relationship most people were especially keen on with. Maybe I shouldnât be surprised Cephus had jumped at the chance to get me on board as a future wife.And speaking of my future husband, I had half-expected he wouldnât be there when I returned. Then when I saw him sitting on the couch in front of the TV where heâd been when I ran out to get in Carolineâs carâwhere heâd probably slept for all I knew, heâd gone out the night before and hadnât been back before I admitted defeat and crawled to bedâI half-expected to spot Angel somewhere in the room in the next moment. She didnât have anything further to add to her roster of manipulations for the moment: we were alone.âWhat was your day like?â asked Cephus without looking at me. I let my bag slip by degrees from my fingers, frozen in place by the p

Chapter 179Katie's POVâCephus isnât supposed to be a part of this side of things, he canât do it⊠and I doubt youâre in a position to ask your mother for assistance. Caroline is an ideal choice.âI didnât like it, but she was right. I couldnât go about this the wrong way if I ever wanted to be on Cephusâs good side. I didnât want to go about it the wrong way. And while I was surrounded by Cephusâs family I needed to make connections unless I wanted to be treated the same way I was on my own. Caroline seemed like the safest option there so far.âIf youâre sure I wonât be inconveniencing you,â I told Caroline. âI could use the help. I donât have much experience with the whole wedding business, that much is for sure.âCaroline broke out in a little golf clap of delight. There might actually be some benefit in spending trying to absorb as much as I could of her elegance. âIâm so pleased to help. Now, I was thinking, I have the whole of tomorrow afternoon off work, so that would be a g

Chapter 178Katie's POVI sat up with a gasp.It was just like the morning before when I had woken to unexpected voices. But this time I was in a strange bed again, and at least one of those voices didnât seem familiar at all.Iâd learned my lesson from the day before. I couldnât get myself into the single bathroom in the apartment, but I pulled on a proper outfit, brushed out my hair, and cleaned my face thoroughly with some wipes. I didnât dare put on makeup without a full mirror, but I was young and fresh enough that I could probably get away without it.Once I was decent, I made a quick and quiet tidy of my room and then stepped up to the door for a bit of strategic eavesdropping before I joined the action.A childish female voice was doing most of the talking. âSheâll need someone to guide her through the process.âCephusâs voice sounded both amused and exasperated. âSomeone who has never been even close to getting married before?ââYou know exactly what Caroline means.â The thi

Chapter 177Katie's POVI kept trying to convince myself that what I was craving was the worst craving anyone had ever had, including anything that had been thought up by a brain on pregnancy. But it was ridiculous to be so worried about whether I did or didnât sleep with him when I was already making myself vulnerable to him, right? Or was this just how I was convincing myself to go along with wherever my lust took me?I donât think about looking at my plate. Then when Cephus abruptly slid his chair backwards and stood, I startled like a tiny animal that could run away if provoked further. I knew damn well I couldnât run.Cephus came to my side and put his hand out for mine, drawing me to my feet when I complied.âYou have sauce on you,â he said and pointed it out on my shirtâhis fingertip pressing slightly into my breast in a way that was, Iâm sure, entirely necessary.I looked down at his hand there. Well, Iâd managed to at least try to eat something.I thrust my chest forward in

Chapter 176Katie's POVâMadonna and child.â Cephus folded his arms and leaned back; it felt like an acknowledgment that Iâd landed a hit, but I didnât have any idea how. Iâd just been trying to give a voice to my frustrations. âSo you know a little bit about art, then.ââI think thatâs kind of something I picked up through pop culture actually,â I said. I was hoping to screw with him while I seemed to have an advantage, and he did appear to deflate a little in response. âYouâd be more eager to get a leg over if I was the kind of girl who t art and how to engage with you because I have any desire to âget a leg overâ. And I have no intention of scorning you because you lack cultural polish. I assure you that I will be able to provide for you sexually in every way you might require.ââWhat kind of statement is that? Trust me, Iâm a sexy beast, even though from the way I behave you would expect pretty much any Arctic land to be less frigid than I am?ââDo you want me to provide referen

Chapter 175Katie's POVâAm I supposed to believe you are shy?âI was so startled by Cephus's Voice that here I dropped the capsicum Iâd been fidgeting with. It rolled across the bench, and Cephus caught it with one hand while he continued dicing its unlucky sibling with the other.âI guess you wouldnât,â I admitted, âbut if any situation was going to make me feel that way⊠I mean, weâve gone from you having me dragged out If bed to trying to cook with me?ââYouâve got to roll with the challenges life presents you sometimes, Katie,â said Cephus, rolling the second capsicum into the path of his knife.âAre you talking about me here or you?ââBoth of us, for once.â His expression visibly dulled. It struck me then just how much more animated he had become since we had first met. It was just a handful of hours but there was someone behind the mafia man front he was slowly letting me see, whether by choice or unconsciously I did not know.It bothered disappearing again. It was messing wi
