Still Drakes POV“Kill me, Drake!You can hurt me if you chose to, lock me up and kill me if that would make us even. But leave them out of these, they are just my business partners, and they have no business with you. Let them go, Drake!I could get the Russian government involved in this, I could use you for assaulting my foreign business partners, and you could go to jail, Drake. Let them go and I promise…”“Oh, Really?Do you mind telling me what kind of business partners they are to you?Like, seriously, I want to know why you are pleading for their lives when you have never done anything like this for your family. Are your business partners more important than your family?” I asked him mockingly, earning me a hard look from him. His girlfriend was standing behind him, tapping on her phone. I guess she is trying to reach someone, or maybe she is trying to call the captains and confirm if they are truly in danger. I guess she doesn’t want to believe that her coalition with them is
Still Drakes POV“You are Mine, you bitch!” he let out harshly as he kept hitting her across the face. After a little while, he reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a towel and he placed it on her nose, forcing her to breathe on it. I’m guessing that it is soaked in chloroform, and he wants her to pass out so he can rape her, just like he did with the other girls that Casey spoke to me about. “Riley!Please, stop!Please…” she cried miserably. He ignored her and he kept pressing the towel to her nose while his other hand skillfully worked on her button, trying to take off her cloth. I don’t know why my guards are taking too long, but I know I have to do something right now, or in going to regret this for the rest of my life. I gazed around me, and I saw my guys being held down just like me. Liam and I had the most guys, we had four guys on each person, and they were so rough and mean. But I know I can break free from them easily, I just need little assistance in taking them ou
Still Drakes POV“I'm so sorry, Drake. I was right there with you and I couldn’t save your woman. I failed you, and I failed Mia. Riley is a bastard, if he were still alive, I would have killed him myself. I’m glad he is dead, he is a fucking monster!You can’t blame yourself for this, Drake, it’s not your fault and it’s not her fault as well.” Liam let out sadly, trying to cheer me up.“I know it’s hard to believe that you just lost a child, but look on the bright side. Your wife is okay, and your brother will never hurt her again because you took care of him already. She is going to wake up in a few hours, and she is going to be okay, I promise. I was a bit busy when you walked in, that is why I couldn’t attend to her myself. You can relax your mind, Mr. Osborne, I’m going to take care of her, I’ll make sure she is okay, that is a promise.” Doctor Larry assured me. I could see her lying peacefully on the bed while the nurses cleaned her up. I can’t call her parents yet, I’m too asha
Mia's POV“Mmmmm… Yeah… I love it, Riley, I love how you make me feel so good.” My voice echoed in his room, sounding alien to me. Good thing this room is soundproof because the sound of my voice right now could wake even the dead. His lips is enclosed on my nipple, sucking on my engorged bud, while his fingers were pumping into me, creating a rhythm that was pushing me close to the edge, making me lose the ability to form any words as I kept moaning out so loudly.It was better than I had dreamed of, better than I had ever imagined. I reached up to capture his lips in a passionate kiss, but I stilled in my actions as I realized that it wasn’t Riley that was making me feel so good, it was someone else, someone I never knew before, a stranger. And the worst part of it all is that, I don’t want this handsome stranger to stop touching me, he is so fucking handsome, so stunning. I’ve never felt this way before, Riley had never made me feel so good. I know I want more of him, I want him t
Mia’s POVThe night was quiet, Everything was quiet, well, except for the sporadic barking and howling from a few dogs in the neighborhood, and our loud voices as my mom tried to reason with me and change my mind before I break off the engagement and cancel my wedding to Riley Osborne. It’s been two hours since Carrie picked me up from the hospital and ever since I walked through that door, my mom has been firing me with tons of questions, while my dad locked himself in his room, brooding. “No. No. No. I won’t marry that two-timing bastard.” I roared angrily.“Mia, please try and understand. We don’t have a choice. We need to make this deal as soon as possible. If we lose this company, this house, it could kill your father. All his life, he has toiled to get to where we are today, he has done everything possible to give you and your sister a good life. We have never asked for anything in return, just this one favor. Please, my Mia-Mia.” My mother tried to convince me. “Oh, come on,
Drakes POVMy kid brother Riley is getting married tomorrow. He had been begging me to attend his wedding but I couldn’t give him a definite answer because I wasn’t sure I was ready to come back home after so many years.I had a fallout with my parents many years ago. They had wanted me to give up my dreams and aspirations and take over the family business after my father retired but I wanted more than that, I wanted to travel around the world, meet people and expand our business and make it worldwide.Our family is wealthy and influential in the country but I want more than that, I desire to make money my own way and become famous through my own hard work but my family just wanted me to pick up from where my father stopped and settle down to live a quiet life. I had a huge argument with them after they tried to force me into an arranged marriage. They can be so overbearing, they plan our lives and expect us to live according to their script. I couldn’t take it anymore, so I left Los
Mia's POV“How is he, Carrie?” I asked her when she stepped out of his hospital room, but she didn’t get a chance to respond to my question because mom was right behind her and mom pulled her back so she doesn’t answer me.“What do you care?” mom snorted, eying me angrily.“Mom…” I started but she put up her palm to stop me before I continued.“You had only one task, Mia. Just one task, but you failed to carry it out. You failed your family and you put your dad in the hospital. I will not forgive you if anything happens to your father or to anyone of us.” She scolded in anger before walking away, leaving Carrie and I standing in front of dads hospital room, looking so confused and frustrated at the same time.“How is he?” I managed to speak out after some seconds. “His condition has been stabilized, for now, Mia. But the doctor warns that we should not do anything to upset him anymore or we could lose him the next time he has another heart attack.” Carrie explained calmly. You could
Drake’s POVThe atmosphere is tense, everyone was trying to stay out of the living room, and even the guards and domestic staffers were being extremely careful because no one wants to be mistakenly dragged into this matter. I parked my Porsche in the garage, then I walked into the house, my heart beating nervously as I heard their raised voices. It was mostly dads voice, I guess he is still the same, he still operates those strict rules of his. Damn, he can yell all day when he is pissed, I always try to avoid him on days like this when he is about to explode in anger. I’ve been away for so long, and the real reason why I chose to come back for Riley’s wedding was that I wanted to show up when everyone is the mood of celebration. I chose this day because I thought that everyone would be too excited to think about my past rebellion. Who would have thought that I would be facing something worse than I have ever imagined?I walked through the familiar hallway as I headed to the sitting

Riley’s POV“Get the fuck out of here, Riley, and stay the hell out!I don’t want to deal with your silly ass today, I ain’t got time for shit!” he yelled in my face, making me snicker in disgust. I got reliable information from a trusted source. I was informed that Austin Foster is in Drake's custody, and I’ve been asked to take him out as soon as possible. He is a threat to everything we have worked so hard to achieve, so he has to go. I’ve been trying to force Drake to fight back, I wanted to see how far he would go, I want to see if he would hurt his own brother. I know he would never treat me like he treats his other enemies. But I want to know the length he can go to hurt me, and that is why I’m daring him to fight back. The last time I’d dared him this way, I ended up in jail for a while, and then I was out again. If throwing me in jail is the worst my Mafia brother can do to me, then it’s safe to say that I own this city. I can do whatever I like in this city and he would not
Still Drakes POV“Loretta fooled me into thinking that she loves me. She came up with this perfect plan to steal from her bias and elope together. I fell for her tricks and her lies, I never knew she is such a terrible person, I never knew she could turn around and betray me. We had so much in common, and I was so stupid to think that it is true love. But now I know better, she never loved me and she would never love anyone in this lifetime because her heart is filled with greed and evil. If you want to get to the Bratva insurgencies and your brother as well, I would suggest you seize her and force her to spill everything she knows about them.” Justin told me firmly, then he handed me a briefcase that contains all the information he just shared with me, and even more than that.“Loretta stole these files when she used to work for Austin Foster. The plan was to get everything we could lay our hands on, then when we are safely out of this city, we would use the information on these file
Drakes POVHe has been daring me since Austin left this city. I guys the rumor is true after all. My own brother Riley is now a pawn to some freaking Russians who only wish to kill use him and then kill him. He abandoned our family just to become a puppet to these bastards.Wait, what the hell am I even saying?He did not abandon our family, if he did, then he wouldn’t be trying so hard to destroy everything our parents have worked so hard to achieve all their lives. His determination to ruin this family is so great, if I were one of his bosses, I would give him an award for being so tenacious. I get the reports of his attacks every fucking day. He keeps killing my boys, sending me a message that I don’t even understand. My boys are so fucking pissed off by his actions, they keep watering me to give them the order to take him out, but for some weird reason, I can’t seem to do that. I don’t think I can ever give them that order, I can’t even begin to imagine it. He may be an idiot, but
Loretta’s POVJustin left me…He set me up and ran off with all the money we were able to gather after Austin was deported to Russia to face justice in his homeland. He tricked me into believing that we are in this deal together, I never thought I could be outsmarted by a guy, I never even thought that Justin would ever betray me, I never saw him as a guy that could hurt a fly, I thought I could use him, but he ended up using me, and then he set me up with the Bratva insurgency, the same guys that dealt with Austin Foster and forced him to flee out of the city.The last time I had a decent conversation with him was when I told him about my sexual attraction to Drake Osborne. I indicated my interest in Drake, and I told him I wanted to get him to screw me, but he had been so pissed about it. I could vividly recall his exact words to me when I first mentioned it to him. He was like,“Now you’re making me angry and jealous, Rett. Why would fall you for another guy when you have me all to
Still Mia’s POV“I’m not sitting around for you to do everything for me, Drake. I’m bored and I’m so fucking tired of sitting around the house, doing nothing. I need this contract, you know what this contract means to me and my family. I don’t know what I’ll do if the contracts are not awarded to us. I need to be there, I need to be sure that I did everything possible to get that contract, please Drake, just take me with you. I promise, I won’t do anything stupid, I won’t do anything to ruin your hard work, I’ll be good, I’ll be reasonable, I promise.” I kept pleading with Drake as he sat in the dining, having his dinner. Charles, Casey, and their kids were sitting around the dining table as well, but I couldn’t care less. I just want to leave this house and I want to resume work. I’m sure they understand my frustration, they know how long I’ve been enduring this boredom and they sympathize with me as well. But Drake doesn’t seem to care about my feelings. Sometimes I feel he is still
Mia’s POV“I told you to sit back and let me hand this contract, Mia. I got it under control, I can get you that contract, I promise you. I’ve gotten past the initial stage and I’m confident that my pitch is too great to be dismissed. You can stay back and let me get you this contract, then after I secure your contract, you can resume at your new office building.” Drake implored, trying so hard to convince me to stay back at home and rest.It’s been five months since I had that terrible encounter with Riley and his whore Loretta. Drake has been by my side all this while, and I’m so glad that was able to heal faster than anyone expects. The doctor had been so amazing to me and my family. When he saw that I was ready for the surgery, he didn’t wait for Drake's permission before he could take me into the theater. He carried out my surgery, even before my husband could sight the consent papers. He took a great risk, just to save my life. Drake said he is being so nice to us because he want
