Isadora, The Mafia Queen Am I Enough For This?
Isadora Ivan's commanding voice echoed through the room, cutting through the thick tension like a knife.The silence that followed was deafening, as if everyone were holding their breaths, waiting for what would happen next.His grip on my wrist tightened slightly, subconsciously keeping me from running ."Enough of this nonsense," Ivan said, his tone measured."The decision has been made. If anyone here thinks they can challenge the will of The Patrón they're more than welcome to step forward now." His eyes swept across the room, as if daring anyone to speak.For a moment, no one moved.Then the gangly, middle aged man who had spoken first previously stepped forward, clearing his throat."With all due respect, Ivan, this is a not a challenge against The Patrón's will. It's about tradition, about our culture and leadership- about what's best for the cartel".Ivan's jaw clenched. "Well then, what's best for the cartel has already been decided. Isadora is the rightful heir. 'Traditio

IsadoraLater that evening, I took a shower and fell into bed, eager to just rest.I woke up some time later, unsure how long I'd been asleep, but sure I needed to go get something to eat, and this time around, I was going to prepare it myself.I headed down to the kitchen. A few maids were there, and after I discharged them, I rummaged through the cupboards searching for what to make.After settling on a plate of grilled cheese sandwiches with a cup of juice, I headed out to the balcony to enjoy the view as I ate."Isadora"Bewildering how I could now recognise that voice before seeing who it belonged to. I turned around to face him.He had on a pair of grey sweatpants with a black tee which only made him even more attractive, something I hadn't thought was possible."Ivan," I replied, struggling to sound as firm as possible even though my heart was racing a little."I didn't think I'd find you out here," he stated as he stepped closer, cigarette in hand."Could say the same about yo

Isadora Being in the mansion the following days had felt like a prison. Every room was a reminder of the weight on my shoulders, the stares of the cartel, and Ivan's ever-cold demeanor.He hadn't said a word to me since that night, outrightly avoiding being in the same space as me. It was times like these that made me wish I had a girlfriend I could converse with.I thought about how different my life could've been, the scholarship that was snatched away from me and what my life would've been like if things didn't happen the way they did.Overwhelmed with thoughts, I felt suffocated. I needed out.Picking up my jacket, I laced my boots and stuffed my phone into the back pocket of my jeans.A late-night escape wasn't the smartest move, but I really didn't care less.Viktor had insisted on changing the entire servants in the house after the poison incident. He had also doubled the security after the meeting with the cartel members, so careful not to alert any guards, I slipped out th

Isadora I stared at him, my chest heaving with anger and hurt."Why do you always have to be like this?" I demanded. "Why can't you just- just be human for once? Do you even care, Ivan? Are you even capable of caring?"His eyes flickered for a second,but whatever emotion was there quickly disappeared beneath his usual mask, as always."You're wasting your energy, Isadora. Get in the car".Viktor stepped closer, his hand still on my shoulder. "I think it's best she rides with me", he stated with a flat tone, his gaze fixed on Ivan."And why would she do that?" Ivan interjected,"Look I don't have time for this Viktor, she's my wife! She rides with me.""I'll go with Viktor, that's enough. I just want to go home now please." I said, glancing between the two of them."Fine then', Ivan scoffed as he got into his car and drove off.Viktor's concern was palpable, his touch comforting. But Ivan's cold dismissal stung more than I wanted to admit.Once we arrived, Viktor stayed by my side, h

Isadora "I've been waiting to hear you say that," Viktor said, a proud look plastered on his face.Ivan remained silent, his expression hardened."I know someone. Someone who knows this world better than any of us. His name's Rafael. He'll teach you all you need to survive in this world, how to make decisions, how to lead."My gaze flickered to Ivan, expecting him to say something, but he remained silent, his jaw tense as he looked away."So when do I start?", I asked, trying to ignore the anxiety in my chest.Viktor met my eyes."Tomorrow, you'll have a lesson everyday. It'll be intense and difficult, sometimes excruciating, but it'll be worth it. And you'll need to start thinking like the leader you're supposed to be."Before I could respond, Ivan said, "I'll be with you, every step of the way." His voice firm,though there was a note of something else, something I couldn't quite place."Fine," I replied finally, crossing my arms. "But I'm tired of being a damsel always needing to

IsadoraAfter the first lesson as I retired for the night, I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was being watched. Knowing that there was a spy under the same roof, monitoring and reporting on my movements was making me paranoid.As I on the edge of my bed, I said to myself, "Calm down, you're just imagining things."As I reached for the glass of water on my nightstand, I heard a faint creak echoe through the room. I became still.I listened again, hearing another creak.My heart began to pound. I stood up slowly, grabbing the small knife I had hidden under my pillow ever since the poison incident.I moved towards the door, something in my gut telling me that I wasn't alone.I yanked the door open- only to find nothing."You're being paranoid, Isa," I said rubbing my hands against my arms.Still unconvinced, I stepped out of my room, walking down to the living room.Just as I looked around, I saw a shadow shift near the staircase in the split of a second.My pulse racing, I gri

IsadoraViktor had asked to meet for a discussion.Walking into the carter's main meeting room, Ivan and Viktor were seated, while Rafael leaned against the far wall, arms crossed."We've been waiting for you. I heard about what happened last night, I hope you're okay," Viktor addressed me, a look of worry on his face."I'm alright Viktor, thank you." I said as I fell into an opposite seat at the head of the table."I've been thinking. This isn't something we need to fold our arms and just keep watch. We have to act fast." He stated, taking turns to look at the faces of the rest of us in the room."Whoever got in last night won't stop. They were testing the security- next time, they won't just be watching."Ivan cut in coldly, "No they won't. Next time, they'll be dead."After thinking for a moment, I turned to Viktor."So what are you saying Viktor? What do we do?""We set a trap."

We want them alive." Viktor added."And if it goes wrong?" Ivan interjected coldly."Can you stop being negative? Don't jinx it." I said,

Isadora, The Mafia Queen Trust, Loyalty, Control
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, The Mafia Queen Too Late
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, The Mafia Queen What Took You So Long?
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, 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, The Mafia Queen A Queen In Captivity
IsadoraMy head throbbed violently. I had realized panic was useless, so I forced my breathing to steady.Some other men walked in."She's awake," the scarred man said as he turned towards them."Good. The boss will want to see her."The doors opened widely and the sound of heavy boots approached, as the distinct sound of a gun being dragged against an iron made my heart pound.A rough hand gripped my chin, forcing my face up. The light from the door cut through the darkness, making my eye squint."Well, well, well," a hoarse voice drawled. "The new queen finally opens her eyes. You were out for quite some time."I blinked rapidly, my vision adjusting to the dimly lit room.A man was crouched in front of me, grinning like a wide animal. He had a rough face, yellow-stained teeth and a wicked look in his eyes."Who are you?" I asked, my throat dry.The man chuckled. "Funny I should be asking you the same thing." He stood up, towering over me."You don't belong in this world, princess.
