Isadora, The Mafia Queen Seeds Of Doubt
IsadoraI sat in the corner of the dimly lit room, the cold cement pressed against my skin.My knees were drawn to my chest, with my wrists and arms still sore from the ropes they had been bound with.The door creaked open. I didn't flinch, now already expecting the worse.Javi strolled in, slow, deliberate steps, his hands in his pockets as always. One of the guards, who they called Rico, walked in with him, leaning against the door .Javi approached me, his eyes running over me."You know, I've broken men twice your size in minutes." He stated, his voice slow and purposeful.I stared at him, a blank expression on my face.He smirked, "You're holding up really well, but I just have to ask. What exactly are you holding up for?""Surely, you don't think Ivan and your cartel members are planning a rescue mission. We've been watching them, no movement. Not even a whisper.""All you have to do is just give me the details of your supplier and arrange a meeting with them. How long do you th

Isadora"What took you so long?" I asked, my voice hoarse, weak and barely above a whisper. The silence in the room making it loud.I sat in the lounge of the safe house, my arms wrapped around myself as I tried to keep it together. I had finally been rescued, finally away from the nightmare, but my body still trembled and my face was pale.Viktor, standing a few feet away, exhaled sharply. "Isa-""What took you so long?" I repeated, my voice raised and angry, as my eyes moved from Viktor to Rafael to the others in the room. "Why did it take you so long to find me?"A long silence followed as I tried to keep it together.Rafael looked down uncomfortably, his hands running down his face. "The plan... it didn't go as expected."A bitter laugh escaped my lips. "You think I don't know that?"Viktor stepped forward, his expression hardening. "Isa, we were moving as fast we could. We were taken by surprise. We didn't expect them to get to you as fast as they did. We had eyes everywhere, bu

Isadora"Why did you come so late for me?"Ivan had walked into my room, and after being silent for a while, I finally spoke, my eyes everywhere but on his face. My voice trembled as I sat on the edge of my bed, my arms wrapped around myself like a shield.Ivan, standing a few feet away, exhaled sharply. "Isadora-""You were late, Ivan," I repeated, my voice louder and cracking this time. "Do you understand how that made me feel?"He clenched his jaw. "I do."I laughed bitterly. "No, I don't think you do."I didn't look at him yet, I was afraid that if I did, I'd see nothing. No sign of remorse or regret. No guilt."I counted every second, every minute, hoping you'd come. I kept telling myself, 'Ivan is coming. He wouldn't leave me here.' But with each second that passed and you didn't come, it was hard to keep believing it." My nails dug into my arms.Ivan's entire body stiffened. But he didn't move or speak."Javi was right," I whispered as I finally looked at his face. "You didn't

Isadora I woke up the following morning, deep in thought. A part of me was furious, and the other exhausted.'If I wasn't weak, if they didn't think of me as weak and inexperienced, I wouldn't have been abducted', were the thoughts running through my head.The memory of the nights I spent there still haunted me- the dark, stuffy room, the muffled voices of guards, the look in Javi's eyes, the feeling of helplessness that ate at my insides. I hated it all. And most of all, I hated myself for letting it happen.I was tired of waiting around to be saved, I needed to get stronger and I needed to do it fast, and that was solely all I intended to focus on these next few days.After getting dressed, I made my way to Rafael's office. The heavy wooden doors creaked open as I stepped inside, the air thick with cigar smoke. He sat behind his desk, exhaling a slow puff of smoke as he watched me approached."You're up early," he noted, his voice low."I don't have anymore time to waste," I replie

Isadora“Again.”Rafael’s voice was sharp, cutting through the stillness of the training room.I gritted my teeth and lifted the gun again, my arms burning from exhaustion. I aimed at the target across the room, steadying my breath.Rafael stood beside me, arms crossed, watching me closely. "Your stance is still weak."I adjusted my feet, gripping the gun tighter. "Like this?"He exhaled. "Better."I focused, exhaled and fired. The bullet missed the center of the target by an inch. I sighed with frustration."Not good enough," Rafael muttered. I growled under my breath, squared my shoulders and fired again.Bullseye.Rafael exhaled, stepping closer. “Better. But you’re still hesitating.”I turned to face him, my eyes dark with determination. “I’m not hesitating.”Rafael cocked his head. “Aren’t you?”I tightened my grip on the gun. “No I'm not."“Then shoot me.”My breath hitched. “What?”“You heard me.” Rafael took a step closer, standing right in front of me. “You say you’re not he

IsadoraA week later, I called for a meeting with the round table members of the cartel.The conference room was large, in the middle of the office building.I sat at head of the table, arms crossed and my gaze fixated. Ivan and Viktor were seated on both sides of me. There were about ten other men present in the room.The meeting had been going on for half an hour, when Bruno, a bald headed guy in his mid thirties, slid a set of papers across the table towards me."I've gone over the numbers, everything looks legit and solid," his tone casual and demeaning, almost like he was doing me a favor.I took the papers without looking at them, instead studying him, letting the time drag. He was known to have a dubious reputation."Everything looks solid?" I asked, my tone light and casual."Yeah, it's all good", Bruno replied, folding his arms as if to give an intimidating appearance.A faint smile played on my lips as I scanned the papers. The numbers didn't add up, but it wasn't a mistak

Isadora"You don't get it, do you?"Ivan's voice was sharp as he burst into my office, cutting through the tense air like a knife.I folded my arms, my patience already thin."I thought we were done with this conversation. And no, Ivan. You don't get it. You disappear, ignore me for days, then come back, act like nothing happened, and expect me to just accept it?""You don't need to accept anything," he snapped. "I do what needs to be done."I scoffed. "Right. And what exactly is that? Playing executioner when I never asked you to?""Bruno was going to kill you.""And I had it under control!" I shouted, my voice high in frustration.Ivan let out a dry chuckle, shaking his head. "You think he was going to give you 'time to prove a point'? He asked, with a tone of mockery. "You hesitate for just one second, and you're dead. I didn't come to watch you make a mistake and get killed."Something inside of me snapped. "Then why are you even here, Ivan? Since you think I'm so incompetent and

Isadora"We have a problem,' Viktor announced, his voice steady but with urgency. "The shipment's been hijacked."Viktor had called for an impromptu cartel meeting. I leaned back in my chair, absently tapping my fingers against the table until the announcement. The tension in the air was palpable. Ivan sat beside me, his face unreadable always, but I could see the flicker of concern in his eyes. Viktor stood at the head of the table, as he addressed the group of cartel members seated before him.At his announcement, the room fell silent. My pulse quickened. The shipment was one of our most lucrative operations -a batch of expensive weapons and drugs being transported across the border. I could feel every pair of eyes turn towards me, expecting a reaction, to take charge. I remained calm, my expression looking unfazed."Hijacked?" I asked, my voice low and dangerous. "What do you mean?"Viktor's eyes darkened. "It was supposed to arrive at the distribution point last night. We waited

Isadora, The Mafia Queen A Fun Challenge
Isadora Rafael's words kept ringing in my head all night that I could barely even sleep. The next morning, I decided to physically exert myself and take my mind off things, so I made my way to the gym to wear myself out.I put on a pair beige-coloured leggings and matching sports bra that accentuated my curves. The gym was empty when I entered, just the way I wanted it, so I got to work. If clubbing didn't take my mind off things, working out just might.I stepped onto the treadmill, pressed the start button as I began with a gentle jog. Just as I picked up the speed and my muscles warmed up, a voice cut in."Fancy seeing you here," Ivan interrupted, as he stepped in.I turned to look at him. He had on a pair of shorts and a tank top that displayed his toned arms and detailed tattoos that curled up from his neck to his muscular arms. The sight of him made my chest flutter as I almost tripped on the treadmill.Quickly turning it off, I faced him, regaining my composure and keeping my
Isadora, The Mafia Queen All That Matters
IsadoraThere was silence.Finally, Viktor exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair. "No.""Good." I stated. Ivan smirked but said nothing.I picked up the bottle of tequila and poured myself another shot.Standing up I said, "I came to have a night off from the tension so if you don't mind, I intend to do just that." And with that, I walked out, their gazes piercing holes in my back.I made my way to the VIP Lounge and was seated for a few minutes when a voice cut through the low sound of the music."You're thinking too much, boss."Rafael said, taking a seat on the leather couch, one arm draped over the backrest as he watched me with that easy, knowing smirk of his."Maybe I like thinking," I replied, swirling the champagne in my glass."Or maybe you just don't know how to turn it off," he countered, tilting his head. "You won, Isadora. Enjoy it for once."I scoffed, setting my drink down. "We both know this was just the beginning.""That's true," Rafael nodded, the amusemen
Isadora, The Mafia Queen A Night Off
Isadora "You're actually letting yourself have fun tonight?"I smirked, swirling the dark liquor in my glass as I turned to face Ivan. I had decided to take his advice and let loose a little. The club was alive as always- laughter, music and the scent of expensive cigars filling the air."I wouldn't call it fun," I replied, raising the glass to my lips. "More like... an observation."Ivan chuckled, leaning in slightly. "So you came all the way to observe?"Before I could answer, a familiar voice interrupted."I think she's here to remind us to celebrate."Viktor. He approached with his usual confidence, his dark green eyes assessing the scene before fixating on Ivan. There was something different in them tonight, something hidden but visible enough to notice.I exhaled slowly. I had felt this coming for days, and tonight, under flashing neon lights and influence of alcohol, it was more obvious than ever."Though I wonder, what exactly are we celebrating?" Viktor continued, stopping
Isadora, The Mafia Queen Tension
"You should get some sleep."I turned around at the sound of Ivan's voice, my fingers tightening around the glass of wine in my hand. I stood by the large window of my penthouse later that night, watching the dark city below, my mind still replaying every detail of our latest victory.The successful interception of Cesar's shipment had sent a clear message. But victories in this world, I had come to understand, were never without consequences. You win some, you lose some.I exhaled, looking at the cold glass of wine in my hand before turning to face Ivan. He stood near the door, arms crossed over his chest, his dark eyes studying me carefully."I will," I replied, my voice quieter than usual. "Eventually."Ivan smirked, stepping closer. "That's what you said three hours ago.""I didn't know you were keeping track.""I always do, when it comes to you." He said reducing his voice at the last part, so that I could barely hear.A slow, unreadable smile played on my lips as I turned back
Isadora, The Mafia Queen A Message For Cesar
Isadora"Are we ready?"My voice was steady, but the weight of what we were about to do hung in the air like a loaded gun. It was the D-day finally. I sat in the warehouse, surrounded by my most trusted men- Ivan, Viktor, Rafael and Diego, the newest player on deck."Everything is in place," Ivan responded as he double-checked the map laid out before us. "Cesar's shipment is due in less than an hour. Security is light- just a handful of armed guards and a few workers. Nothing we can't handle.""And our men?" I inquired, turning my gaze to Rafael, who had been overseeing our positioning for the attack."Already at their spots," he confirmed. "We've got snipers in the building surrounding it, two teams hiding near the shipment containers, and another group ready to block off any escape routes. Once we move in, it'll be quick."I tapped my fingers against the table, my expression neutral. "No mistakes. No surprises. We take everything and send a message."Viktor exhaled sharply, shaking
Isadora, The Mafia Queen And So, It Begins
Isadora"How do we know he's not feeding us bullshit?"Rafael's voice was sharp, his dark brows drawn together as he leaned forward on the couch. His fingers drummed against the armrest, a habit that only surfaced when he was truly agitated.Across from him, I sat with my back straight, eyes focused. Ivan stood beside me, arms crossed, expression unreadable. Viktor for once wasn't openly opposing the idea but remained silent, waiting the tension unfold."We don't," I admitted, my voice calm but firm. "That's why we don't act on it immediately. We verify, cross-check, and if it's legit, we make our move.""I don't like this guy," Rafael scoffed, shaking his head. "The guy worked for Cesar. One wrong step, and this blows up in our faces.""And if we do nothing, we remain blind while Cesar continues making his moves," Ivan countered. His voice was even, but there was an edge to it. "We can't afford to look weak anymore than already. We need intel. This is out best shot."Viktor, who h
Isadora, The Mafia Queen Division
Isadora "So? How did it go?"Viktor's voice cut through the atmosphere as soon as Ivan and I stepped into Rafael's study. He was seated on the edge of the desk, arms crossed, expression unreadable. Rafael leaned back in a chair near the bookshelves, a glass of rum in his hand, waiting for our response.Ivan shut the door behind us before responding. "Diego's interested, but he's not sold yet."Rafael scoffed. "Of course, he's not. Who in their right mind would betray Cesar without a damn good reason?"I took a seat at the small round table in the center of the room, crossing one leg over the other. "That's exactly what we're giving him- a reason. He knows Cesar is unstable. He knows his days are numbered. He just needs to decide whether he wants to remain on the sinking ship or find himself a lifeboat."Viktor ran a hand through his hair, exhaling. "And what if he's playing us? What if he walks right back to Cesar and tells him everything? We'd be handing him our heads on a silver pl
Isadora, The Mafia Queen A Risky Proposition
Isadora"I still don't trust him."My voice was sharp, cutting through the silence of the office. I stood by the window, arms folded as I started outside. The club was alive beneath us, even in the daytime, music thumping softly, but up in this quiet space, the tension between me and Ivan filled the air.Ivan leaned against the desk, watching me, his expression unreadable. "We don't have to trust him, Isa. We just have to use him."I turned, my eyes locking onto his. "And what happens when he decides he's done being used?""Then we remind him why he started working for us in the first place." He smirked, tilting his head.I exhaled, shaking my head. "Diego is a survivor, Ivan. And survivors are unpredictable. Today, he wants to work with us because he's scared of Cesar. But what about tomorrow? What if he's offered something better? Or what if he decides turning on both of us is the best way to keep himself alive?"Ivan pushed off the desk, stepping closer. "That's why we keep control
Isadora, The Mafia Queen A Tempting Offer
Isadora"You seem tense, Diego. Relax. We're just having a conversation." I leaned back in my seat, swirling the drink in my glass.Diego eyed the both of us like a man sitting at a poker table, unsure whether to go all in or fold. The club's private lounge was dimly lit, music playing softly in the background, as the scent of whiskey and cigars floated in the air.Diego exhaled through his nose, his fingers tapping on the table. "A conversation? Is that what this is?" He glanced at Ivan. "Because from where I'm sitting, it feels more like a test."Ivan smirked. "Smart man."Diego scoffed. "You know what I don't understand? Why you think I'd be dumb enough to sit here and entertain this shit."I arched a brow, a smile playing on my lips. "And yet, here you are. You wouldn't have come if you had no interest of any sort."His jaw tightened. "I had to see it for myself- the infamous Isadora Gonzalez trying to recruit me. You must be desperate."I smiled. "Desperation is for people stuck,
