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, The Mafia Queen   Playing A Game Of Trust

    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, The Mafia Queen   Meeting Rafael Torres

    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

  • Isadora, The Mafia Queen   The Shadow At Night

    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

  • Isadora, The Mafia Queen   You Play With Fire; You Get Burned

    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." He stated, as he slid a folder towards me.I opened it, it contained details- security loopholes, blin

  • Isadora, The Mafia Queen   When The Plan Goes Wrong

    Isadora The following morning, we met at the main strategy room to discuss the plans for tonight.I sat at the center of the table, my hands clasped. Viktor and Rafael stood on opposite sides, explaining the plan.Ivan leaned against the wall, arms crossed, uninterested in the conversation; his expression still visibly displeased."We control the narrative. We let the spy think they're slipping in unnoticed, when in reality we dictate every step they make- guiding the right our hands." Viktor stated.Rafael continued, his fingers running along the blueprint of the estate on the table. "We leave one entrance 'unguarded', or make it seem like that- the west wing. They'll think it's a weak spot.""And when they take the bait?" I asked, nodding."We surround them, block off all exits, and get them alive. No one pulls a gun unless absolutely necessary. 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   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.

  • 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   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   A Bullet For Me

    Isadora The warehouse was quiet. Too quiet, except for the rhythmic tapping of my fingers against the table.I sat across from Cesar in the center of the room. He was a tall man, well over six feet, with a commanding presence that demanded attention. His hair was jet black, slicked back neatly. His eyes were a piercing shade of green, sharp and calculating, with a subtle scar that ran along his right eyebrow.The air between us was thick with tension, the kind that settled in the bones and refused to leave. Cesar leaned back in his chair, his expensive suit crisp and unruffled despite the situation. His gaze flickered across the room, taking in every detail. He was measuring, calculating. But so was I.Ivan stood to my right, arms crossed, his expression hard. Rafael and Dominic, one of our men, were positioned strategically, watching Cesar’s men for any sign of deception. Viktor, however, wasn’t watching Cesar’s men. He was watching Cesar. As agreed, we had each brought a few truste

  • Isadora, The Mafia Queen   The Night Before

    Isadora“Come in,” I called.A knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts. It was the night before the meeting with Cesar. I stood by the window in my office, staring at the dim glow of the city skyline in the distance. The weight of tomorrow’s meeting pressed heavily on my chest.Rafael stepped inside, closing the door behind him with a soft click. His expression was unreadable, but the tension in his shoulders told me he was carrying just as much as I was.“You’re still up,” he said, his voice even. “Not surprising, but still.”I offered a tired smirk. “Could say the same for you.”He walked over to the small bar in the corner, pouring himself a drink. “Sleep doesn’t come easy when you’re preparing for war.” He lifted the glass. “Want one?”I hesitated, then nodded. “Yeah. Why not?”Rafael poured me a glass and handed it over before settling onto the worn leather couch across from me. I took a sip before speaking.“Are you worried?” I asked, cutting through the silence.He exhaled

  • Isadora, The Mafia Queen   It’s Happening

    Isadora"Let's talk," Ivan said when it was just us left in the meeting room.I sat down, placing my hands on the table."He must've overslept?" He questioned, his tone laced with sarcasm."What?" I asked, knowing exactly what he meant."Don't what me, Isadora. You know what I'm asking.""I was just saying, that's the only reason why he would miss a meeting," I maintained."And you would know that because?" he glared at me, his eyes shooting guns. I adjusted turning to face him."We had a talk last night, Ivan. I couldn't sleep and he couldn't either." My voice was steady, refusing to be intimidated by his tone."What did you both talk about that late at night?"I paused, taking a moment to put my words together. "I don't think I owe you any explanation or details of my talk with Viktor. It was a personal conversation between us."I knew exactly what I was doing, and I was having a little too much fun playing with him. It was just sex to him, so I intended to keep it at that.He scof

  • Isadora, The Mafia Queen   The Set Up

    Isadora You’re early,” I noted, folding my arms.The next morning, we met in the meeting room to finalise the details of the meet. I had barely been able to get any sleep after the conversation with Viktor, so I was up early.Diego arrived earlier than expected. His usual air of casual arrogance was still there, but beneath it, I saw something sharper. Something more urgent.Rafael, who had been flipping through some notes, looked up immediately, his brows lifting slightly. Ivan leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, watching Diego with the same wary curiosity he always did.Diego smirked. “Figured you wouldn’t want to wait.”I gestured for him to sit. “What did you find?”He let out a breath, rubbing his jaw before speaking. “Cesar’s been unusual, talking to people he normally wouldn’t. People outside his usual circle. Some of them are neutral, some are enemies, but the fact that he’s reaching out? That’s not like him.”Rafael frowned. “ What does that mean? He’s trying to form new

  • Isadora, The Mafia Queen   Late Night Conversations

    Isadora"Can't sleep?"Viktor's voice cut through the night air, calm yet probing.I turned away from the balcony railing I was standing beside, exhaling as I slowly met his gaze. The moonlight cast a light glow over his face, making the shadows beneath his eyes look deeper."Are you checking up on me?" I asked lightly, a faint smile across my face.He smirked but didn't deny it. "I was heading to the bar. Saw the light on and came to check it out," he said as he stepped onto the balcony, standing beside me.I nodded towards the half-empty glass of champagne beside me. "Already beat you to it."For a while we didn't speak. The only sound was the distant echoes of traffic and the rustling of leaves in the cold breeze. It was peaceful- creating a false illusion as against the war we were in."I don't like it," Viktor finally said.I tilted my head slightly, looking at him. "You don't like what?""This meeting. The whole thing with Cesar. It smells like a setup, no matter how we try to t

  • Isadora, The Mafia Queen   A Message From Caesar

    Isadora"What?"I asked, taken aback and redirecting my focus and energy to his words.His gaze lingered on Ivan for a second, before he dragged it back to me, adjusting his tone and posture."Cesar sent a message, boss." I took note of how he addressed me, already aware that a personal conversation with him was waiting for me ahead."What did he say?" Ivan cut in, a skeptical look on his face."Let's go to the meeting room, Rafael is waiting. We should all hear it together." Viktor added impatiently.Clearly, whatever Cesar had sent wasn't small. I breezed past them, my thoughts running crazy as I imagined what Cesar could possibly have said in his message.Rafael was already seated, one hand tapping against the table, his face unreadable. But the tension in his shoulders told me everything."Been waiting," he grumbled, his eyes flicking between Ivan and me before landing on Viktor. "Did you tell them?"Viktor nodded. "Just the basics. Haven't given them the details yet."I pulled ou

    IsadoraNothing had ever sounded more delightful to me than those words.Taking me by the hand, he placed me on the bench, gently pushing me so that I was laying on my back while he stood above me. Then he spread my legs open, stepping back to admire the view."Fuck Isa... you're so beautiful," he muttered, his voice raspy and breathless."I could stare at you like this all day.""If you do that, who's going to eat this pussy?" I asked in a low, smooth voice,a smirk growing on my lips.He laughed as he crouched between my legs, his hands fondling my breasts. He lowered his head to my left breast, taking my nipple into his mouth- sucking gently."Ohhh..." I moaned, playing with his hair. He sucked gently, then aggressively, taking turns with both breasts as I took deep breaths of pleasure. Then he made his way down slowly, his tongue making a trail from my stomach and stopping just above my pussy, while his hands played with my breasts.And then he began to kiss my pussy, sending shive

    Isadora "You owe me a wish, Isadora."The silence had stretched between us for a moment, as I held my breath. His weight pressed into me, firm and familiar in a way I hated to admit. My heart pounded, but it wasn't from the fight."What do you want?"I asked, my voice getting caught in my ragged breaths as I looked into his eyes. They were filled with what looked like hunger, heavy and deep intensity.He took time before replying, as if debating whether to voice it out or not."I want to fuck you. And I want it right here and now." His voice was a low growl, laced with lust and hunger.The sound of those words turned me on and made me so horny as I struggled to remain calm."Y-you said that was a one night thing, that it couldn't happen again." I stuttered, trying to maintain my composure and ignore the feelings I was getting between my legs."I know what I said Isadora, but I haven't been able to stop thinking about that night- about you." He was looking at me like he wanted to devo
