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 "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"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"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 "One night with me would change your life." My stepbrother's rancid, alcohol breath wafted over my face, and the look in his eyes made me shudder with revulsion. "Get away from me," I cried, trying to push him off, but he weighed twice my weight not to mention that he got aggressively strong when he was drunk. "Don't be a goody two shoes," his hand reached out and began to creep up my thighs, "Aren't you tired of living like a pathetic slave? If you submit to me, you could_" His words ended with a howl of pain as I raised my knee and connected it sharply with his groin. Georgio staggered back, screaming like a little girl, his green eyes filling with tears. "You bitch!" He roared. "One of us is screaming like a bitch right now, and it isn't me," I spat. Just as I made to turn around and flee as fast as I could, his hand shot out and grabbed the loose material of my dress, yanking me backward. I let out a pained cry as I was flung into the wall, my head knocking into th

Isadora"H-how did you get that?" I asked in a shaky voice. "Did you think I wouldn't find out?" Her eyes flashed dangerously at me, "This is my house and I know everything that goes on in my house." I tried to swallow around the lump that had formed in my throat, but it only added to the growing mass. "Please," I whispered, "Don't do this." Georgio let out a delighted laughter, "I've been trying to get you to beg for ages. Who knew it would finally be this easy, hunh?""You think you could go behind our backs and plan a future far away from us?" She hissed, "After everything we've done for you, taking you in after your father's death, feeding and clothing you for years, you still planned to disregard us in this way?" They had turned me into a full time slave and kept me under their thumbs, raining abuse on me for years. I didn't owe them anything, but saying it would only get me in trouble. "I'm sorry. Just give me the letter. It's mine. I worked fair and square for it.""If yo

Isadora"The cargo has arrived safely," a deep voice said. I blinked my eyes open, wincing at the light that assaulted my eyes. As soon as my eyes got used to the light, I realised two things. The first was that I was in an unfamiliar room, and the second was that there was a large man standing with his back to me at one of the windows. I must have made a startled sound because he suddenly turned. I sucked in a breath as his dark eyes locked on mine. He was easily the most gorgeous man I had ever seen in my life. Dark hair fell over his head and into eyes that were impossibly dark. He had high cheekbones, a sharp jawline and full pink lips. Tattoos curled up his neck and down his muscular arms, and the dark t-shirt and jeans he had on looked like he had been poured into them. My mouth immediately went dry. "Who are you?" I blurted out, glancing around, "Where am I? What do you want from me? I promise I don't know anything about Dimitri." His eyes narrowed, "So what you're saying

Isadora "Who are you?" I asked. "I'm your grandfather," he wheezed. Even though some part of me had known the answer to that question, hearing it was still a shock to my system. I found myself inching closer to him, curiosity burning inside of me. "That's impossible," I said slowly, "My grandfather died years ago. I don't have any living relatives." He made a choking sound that I suspected was a laugh, "I won't be alive for much longer, child. So I suppose that that will soon be true." I glanced around in confusion, my gaze landing on Viktor, and the woman in scrubs sitting a few steps away. Not only did I have a grandfather, but he also seemed to be some kind of powerful man. I shook my head in denial, "I don't believe you. You can't be my grandfather. Where have you been all these years?"Where was he when my parents had died? When I had been beaten and tossed in the basement? When I had been starved for days and forced to work with my stomach growling?"I wasn't looking for

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,

Isadora"I had an interesting encounter at the club last night."Ivan, Viktor, Rafael and I sat around the long table in the private meeting room of my estate. No one had touched their drinks, or as much as said a word since we sat down. Everyone curious about what I had to say.At my statement, Viktor exhaled loudly, leaning back in his chair. "This should be good."I ignored him. "Diego Hernandez was there."That got their attention. Ivan's eyes sharpened, Rafael frowned slightly, and Viktor scoffed."You mean Cesar's lapdog?" Viktor said, his voice edged with disbelief."Yes," I replied evenly. "And I think he might be exactly what we need."Viktor let out a bitter laugh. "I swear to God, if you're about to say what I think you're about to say-""I want to approach him." I cut in, not letting him get to the end of his words.Viktor slammed his fists on the table. "You've lost your fucking mind, Isa."Ivan glanced at Viktor, then back at me. "You think he's a weak link?""I think he

IsadoraThe music was loud, the lights flashing as La Reina Roja, my club, buzzed with life. I leaned back in my chair, eyes scanning the room as I familiarised with its activities; also watching for any signs of trouble. That's when I noticed him.Diego Hernandez. I had heard his name before- ties to Cesar Alvarez's cartel, a man with enough power to make things move in this city. He walked in with an air of confidence, his aura filling the room. His eyes flicked over the room before landing on Mariana, the red-haired waitress I had taken notice of weeks ago.I watched as Diego approached the bar. His gaze followed Mariana as she worked, lingering in a way that made my skin crawl. I could tell he was sizing her up, and that didn't sit well with me.He leaned in close to her, too close for comfort, his voice smooth but with a layer of menace. "How about you come sit with me for a while, sweetheart?" He said, the words oozing from his lips like oil.Mariana, caught off guard but holdin
Isadora, The Mafia Queen Finding My Snake
IsadoraAs morning came in, reality set in. I had killed a traitor in the cartel, and we had an enemy to deal with.The four of us- Ivan, Viktor, Rafael and myself, sat around the table. Miguel's execution still lingered between us like a ghost, but there was no time to dwell on it. I avoided looking at Ivan, not sure if I could carry on like nothing happened this soon."This isn't going to work." Ivan's voice cut through the tension in the conference room.Viktor scoffed. "And what exactly isn't going to work? The fact that we're actually doing something about Cesar Alvarez? Or the fact that, for once, you're not in control?"Ivan's jaw clenched. "What's not going to work is charging in blind. Cesar isn't some local dealer we can muscle through. One wrong move, and we're dead.""So, what?" Viktor asked, leaning forward. "Right, because sitting on our asses and waiting for him to make the first move is a better idea."It's called being smart, Viktor," Ivan shot back. "Something you c

Isadora"Don't say anything yet," Ivan murmured, his voice rough from the night before.I lay beside him, still tangled in the sheet. We has barely gotten any sleep, my body sore and aching in ways I hadn't felt in a long time. The morning light faintly crept into the room, casting a warm glow on the walls."What do you mean?" I asked, my voice quiet and soft.He popped himself up on one elbow, facing me. "I mean, this- last night- it was just that. A night. One night."Something cold settled in my stomach. I had felt this coming before it even started."Just a night?" I repeated, looking directly at him."Isadora, I'm not trying to hurt you. But I need you to understand, this can't be more than what it was."I forced out a dry laugh. "And what exactly was it to you? A way to let off some steam? A one night stand? A distraction?"His expression hardened. "It was real. And that's why I have to end it here."I sat up, pulling the sheet around me like some sort of protection. "That makes
