KIDNAPPED BY THE MAFIA FORTY TWO | Empathy
[ZARINA]“How about James?” I asked, my head tilting against the metal bars as I awaited the response of the only people who could hear me.In the beginning, the guards positioned outside our cells bothered us so much that we could barely say anything to each other. Their stony faces frightened us. The same faces that brought us food when we were hungry and doctors whenever my wound needed to be checked and Julie’s pain would get worse. But now, I can proudly say that we have learnt to ignore them as if they didn’t exist in the first place. We have a silent understanding. They don’t intervene in her conversation and we don’t cry or scream or make their life hell if it isn’t already.According to the same visiting doctor, Marco and Julie should expect the baby any day now. The fact, which, of course, terrified Marco to the bones. No way had he wanted their baby to be born in a place like this. It is proba

[ANGELA]“We need to talk!”he said.“You know where to find me.”I hear the voicemail for the fourth time before going ahead and deleting it entirely.When I was young, I used to be the girl whose dreams were bigger, greater, and higher than what society approved. There was nothing wrong with wanting to have everything. To have money and power and control. To be someone of importance, someone people knew better than to take for granted. The passion that ran through my blood never permitted me to settle for anything less.As a result of which, I did things that I am not very proud of. I used people. Killed, tortured, and burnt some until only their ashes remained. I have cut them limb by limb without breaking a sweat. I have lied, broken promises and betrayed whenever it was my life against theirs. But I don’t find my cruelty pointless either. They were all ladders that I needed to

[VLADIMIR]I’m nervous.It’s difficult to admit a weak emotion like this, but nothing else explains the way I feel right about now.I’m fidgeting. And that is something I never do. Save for the day when Hazel was born. Aurora was screaming like hell. I still remember. She was in so much pain. I was so restless, not able to do anything about it. It made me want to pull my hair out.I used to think that my life changed when I got married to Aurora.But that is hardly the truth.The fact is that my entire life turned upside down when I held Hazel for the first time. Her tiny little fingers in my larger ones. She was so little, so pure, I thought I didn’t deserve her. Every time Rose slipped her into my arms, I would wash my hands at least five times. Hoping to get rid of the blood–the sins–I committed all these years. I was afraid that I would taint her. Frightened that I would hurt her small

[ISABELLA] "This is not you, Isabella," Angela purrs softly under her breath as if sharing one of her many dark secrets that led to the downfall of some very powerful people. The defiance shining like a thousand rubies in her eyes cannot be mistaken for anything else. I know it. I have seen it. I know how irresistible it could be for most men. I know because someone too dear to me once was foolish enough to fall for it. "Why try to be someone you are not?" "It's actually quite simpler than you think," I tell her, just as brazenly as she is trying to be against the gunpoint of the trained mercenaries surrounding us. We are standing in the middle of an empty beach. It's dark, dry and cold out here. The streetlights standing high far behind us, appear like tiny man-made stars twinkling and brightening only a small sphere around themselves. The only sound louder than our hopeless chatter is the sound of the ocean waves crashing against the shore.

[LIZZY]“You’re back early!” I realize as I watch Vector saunter inside through the main door. He stations the briefcase in his hand next to the corner table of the couch. Grabs me by the waist and pulls me in for the most passionate kiss of my life.By the time he pulls away, I’m breathless. And a little excited.“What’s up with you?” I ask him instead, grinning like an idiot, absolutely sure of the heat burning my cheeks and the wetness gathering between my thighs.He decides to ignore it. Instead, he sweeps his lips to brush against the crook of my neck. I wheeze at the abrupt outbreak of kisses all across the accessible skin his lips find, arms flying up to slither through his short hair.“Vector!” I gasp in exploding anticipation, body growing hot as hell while goose bumps occur at places I wasn’t sure it was possible to feel them. In response to my soft moans and whimpers, he makes a guttural sound from the back of his throat. Lifts me up with a relaxed effort and wraps my legs

At precisely eleven o'clock at night, a piercing scream echoed through the entire house, causing a commotion."I think it's time! It's time!" someone shouted from downstairs, reaching Zarina's ears.As soon as she heard Julie's agonizing cries, Zarina swiftly jumped out of bed, slipping her feet into the first available footwear her scattered mind could find. She hurried down the stairs with an unexpected burst of speed she didn't know she possessed.By the time she reached outside Julie's room, her breathing was labored as if she had been running for ages. Her hand sought support from the nearby wall, its coldness offering a brief respite as she attempted to calm her racing heart.To her relief, everyone else seemed to have already positioned themselves in various places, ready for what was to come.The first person who caught Zarina's attention was Marco, who had his fist jammed into his mouth. He nervously shuffled his feet on the marble floor, clearly filled with anxious anticipat

[XAVIER]“Does Vladimir know?” The man in the hat inquires.I, on the other hand, ignore the question. “Do you know where she is?”He shakes his head. “No. But I did find someone who does.”My eyebrow curves. “Who is it?”“If Vladimir comes to know any of this-” he cautions, adjusting his hat, disinterestedly looking out of the car.“I can handle my brother,” I glare. “This asset of yours, is it credible?”“He is.”“I suppose you know I’m not paying you for the gift of gab.”He huffs out a faint laugh. “I know, that’s why I brought this,” he took out a white envelope from his laptop bag and offered it in my direction. “See for yourself.”I took the envelope from his grasp and opened it carefully. Inside, there was a picture and a few documents. However, the picture caught my attention. Even with only her side profile visible, I recognized Aurora with ease. Outside some café she was meeting up with a man. There was a date on the bottom right of the picture. Taken a week before she swap

[ZARINA]Lizzy asked me to focus on the good things in my life. And as I sit in my room, alone and with a clearer head, I wonder if our definition of good things in this so-called life is the same.Is it?I have indeed grown to care for the people here. Lizzy, Rose, Julie and, of course, Hazel. They all were nothing but kind to me. But sure enough, it does nothing to change the fact that I do not belong here. This is not my life. Since the very first day of my abduction, they expected me to be someone else. I was a replacement. That’s all I was. That’s all I’ll ever be.I still need to contact Xavier though. We need to talk about what happened that night. If it meant anything to him.He wouldn’t have taken so long to come and see you if that were the matter.I shake my head and toss that thought aside. He may just be occupied with something more important. I shouldn’t judge. He loved Hazel so much, I’ve seen it, I don’t imagine it being a cakewalk to see her gone and not able to do an

KIDNAPPED BY THE MAFIA EPILOGUE
“My world is a less scary place with you in it, baby. I will kiss you a thousand times every day if that’s what it takes to keep you in love with me for the rest of our days.” [VLADIMIR] "Do you take Vladimir Perazzo as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?” I would be lying if I said those words spoken by the priest don’t fill me with dread. Because they do. Something inside me is awfully worried for no specific reason. Perhaps it’s the fear of being tricked by fate again. Perhaps I’m afraid that the past would repeat itself in a much more monstrous and hurtful way. It’s just there. Ticking like a bomb. Making me break into some serious amount of sweat. But I hold it in. Not because there’s no other choice now that dozens of people are watching us, but because the woman standing in front of me is looking at me with so much love and w
KIDNAPPED BY THE MAFIA SEVENTY NINE | Never Leave Me Baby
[ZARINA]“Mir, this is...” I gasp.“Do you like it?” pressing those words into my ear, he grazes his teeth below my lobe.“...gorgeous. It’s gorgeous.”After our deep and long conversation, the previous night, Mir and I woke up with someone causing a ruckus at the door. It was only then it dawned on me that I ended up sleeping in his room. Something Aunt Alessia had been warning me since the moment we got here. Even though she was quick to assume that we had already done the deed, she expected us to be patient until the marriage and keep our desires to ourselves.And now that we’ve broken one of her directions, she sure sounded angry beating the door outside. To be honest, I panicked a little originally. Not wanting to give anyone a reason to be upset with us. But Mir had different thoughts regarding the matter. He blatantly and outrightly ignored all her screams and peeled the covers off me instead. Despite my reluctance and attempts to reason with him, he moved between my legs with
KIDNAPPED BY THE MAFIA SEVENTY EIGHT | Say It Again
[ZARINA]Frozen to my spot and shocked to the deepest of my bones, I struggled to get some air into my lungs.Did I really hit him? But why? Was that because he was doing something I did not approve of? Or because...he wasn’t himself?No matter what the reason was, my face seared with embarrassment. My heart palpitated poorly against my ribs and the knots in my stomach tautened to the extent I couldn’t breathe.After fixing me with a glare for a minute too long, Vladimir retreated and stormed into the bathroom. He shut the door so loudly that my entire body shivered. My nerves caused havoc; wild goosebumps crawled like insects all over my skin. Regret pierced my chest like a cruel knife, and the more I thought about it, the deeper it burrowed.It hurt. So much. But why? He was the one who crossed the lines. Why was I on the verge of breaking down? Why were my eyes damp and blurred with tears? What was this pain...Sucking my lips, I leaned my head against the wall behind me and closed
KIDNAPPED BY THE MAFIA SEVENTY SEVEN | Wild Animal Unleashed
[ZARINA]After Mir left for God knows where, I spent most of the day following Aunt Alessia around. She’s a nice person. Talks really quickly and maybe a little oftener than I’m used to, but seems like she’s only excited to have Mir back. It’s been a while, she said, as long as Mir’s grandfather (her father-in-law) was alive, he used to visit nearly every month without fail. But after the old man passed away, he stopped visiting.He stopped caring.She also told me that Mir and his grandfather were really close. Together, they hung out more than Mir and his father ever did. The way she said those things, I felt as if Mir and his father did not have a smooth relationship. Though Aunt Alessia seemed as chatty as one could be, she seemed mindful not to bring up the subject of Mir’s parents.It was only then I realized I knew nothing of Mir’s past. Sure, I know about his failed marriage to Aurora and that he had a brother and Hazel as a niece, but...what about the rest? He mentioned nothi
KIDNAPPED BY THE MAFIA SEVENTY SIX | Welcome Home
[VLADIMIR]“What is this place?” Zarina asked, her gaze pinned on the enormous villa in front of us. The heavy curiosity in her voice did something silly to my chest, and just like that, the desire to kiss her rose once again and darted down my veins. But I suppressed it all by removing my gaze from her. It had become a pattern of sorts. Whenever I needed time off from my chronic horny aspirations, I would look away and try to think of something less provocative. Like a bald head or something.She probably had no inkling of how hard it was for me to keep my hands off her. She was right here, so gorgeous, so tempting, so ready to be my wife, to be mine—I still couldn’t fucking believe it—and I couldn’t even do things to her that haunted me day and night. I had been practising so much patience for the past few days; I fucking deserved a noble prize for it. Or maybe an academy award for the best performance of the century.But I didn’t have to try that hard this time to distract myself f
KIDNAPPED BY THE MAFIA SEVENTY FIVE | Touch Yourself
[ZARINA]An hour later, we were approximately 40,000 ft above the ground and I was yet to ask him where we were heading. With Vladimir being so dark with rage, I couldn’t muster up the courage to say anything at all, let alone the destination of our unexpected trip.Once the car pulled up at the hangar, Mir slid out while one of his men opened the door for me. The sight of the massive jet, the one I had seen only once before when he came to rescue Julie and me from that hell, brought back some unpleasant memories. However, I got little time to dawdle in the past because the next thing I knew, we were being ushered inside the jet, everyone preparing to leave.Vladimir ignored me the entire time until the jet was ready to take off. But even after he sat across from me, he kept himself occupied with the stack of papers he took out from a leather bag. He was taking his sweet-sweet time to go through each one of them. From the look on his face, they seemed of great importance to him. So in
KIDNAPPED BY THE MAFIA SEVENTY FOUR | Awful Silence
[ZARINA]The tension in the room was so thick that one could easily cut it with a knife. It was even darker and more dangerous than the time when Lorenzo decided to be an ass. No one in the room knew how this discussion between the Perazzos and Galantes was about to end. After what happened at the church, it was safe to say, some of the people were pissed off at the way Vladimir orchestrated the entire thing.They were mad because he didn’t include them in the plan.They were mad because he deliberately made them go through hell before showing up like a damn hero who saved the day.To be honest, I was a little upset by the entire dramatics he pulled, too. At least, he could have warned me instead of letting me suffer till the very end. It was cruel and quite ruthless on his part. And once we left this God-awful suffocating gathering, I would rain him with the questions for sure. It was about to be an endless day for him.Although that was the least of my concern for now.Right now, I
KIDNAPPED BY THE MAFIA SEVENTY THREE | Stab A Knife
[ZARINA]After waking up the second time this morning, I found Vladimir moving back and forth in the kitchen. Preparing breakfast for both of us. Something warm and sweet curled up inside as I tried not to fall so hard for him. Watching him from a distance and offering no help made me feel like a creep. But it wasn’t my fault that I couldn’t muster up the courage to be in front of him as if nothing had happened the previous night.Or this morning.A ticklish dash of heat glided down my spine at the thought of his mouth on my core, his fingers pumping inside. Those sweet words he spoke in that sexy voice of his. All those hot and needy touches. Impassioned kisses. Our bare skin pressed against each other. The feeling of him and me together. Thinking about all of that was enough to drive me crazy and for my thighs to squeeze together to relieve myself of the ache he left behind. But it never eased.I couldn’t tell what was holding him back from giving me everything he had, or if he was
KIDNAPPED BY THE MAFIA SEVENTY TWO | My Golden Girl
[VLADIMIR]Blinking against the mellow rays of the early sun, I woke up to find Zarina cuddled to my side. Her dark brown hair scattered messily over the pillow while she slept on her side with her face turned to me.I smiled, warmth spreading across my chest.Last night was anything but normal. I hadn’t expected myself to return only to find Zarina sleeping in my bed with literally nothing but my shirt. It felt like a dress on her, but fuck, did she look good in it? She looked like fucking mine.Mine.The only reason I hadn’t fucking died in the last three months was that I had to come back to her. Michael’s bullet might have driven me to the brink of hell. But it was the realization that I had in what I thought to be the last moments of mine that held me from tipping over. I couldn’t die without telling her how I felt about her. I couldn’t die without making her mine.With a deep sigh, I used my fingers to move some curls out of her face. She stirred against my touch. Her cheeks flu
