Still Drakes POV“Pick up the fucking fun phone!” I screamed at my phone, hoping it gets to Riley. I’ve been trying to reach him, I keep dialing his number but he wasn’t taking my calls. I wonder what he could be up to.“Babe,Babe,Drake…Is everything okay?Is it safe to come down now?” Mia asked me from the top of the stairs. I looked in her direction and I saw her head popping out as she peeked down at us. I smiled in her direction and I beckoned her to come down because the coast is clear obviously. “Are you sure you want her to find out what your brother is planning to do with her like this, do you want to have that conversation with her now?” Liam muttered, making me groan. I know what he is talking about, I know the conversation he is talking about, and I know I would come clean with her one day, but that is not today. “I can handle Mia, she doesn’t need to know the truth for now. I would have that conversation with her when I’m ready. Just get the car ready, we are be leavin
Austin’s POVI gave her an easy way to reach me, and I asked her not to use the distress button unless she has no other choice. So when my phone blasted with the sound of the alarm tone, I knew immediately that it was from her, and I knew something was terribly wrong, or else she would never have pushed that button because she knows I’m going to kill her for disturbing me unnecessarily. I picked up my laptop and connected my phone to the laptop. I need to use the signal from the distress button to triangulate her location and find out exactly where she is and what she is up to.I managed to pull up her location, I discovered that she is currently at one of the Osborne hotels. I called in my tech guy, and I asked him to have into the hotel’s cameras so I can see everything happening around her. I almost smashed my laptop in anger when I saw her sitting in a restaurant with two guys who look like bouncers. From the look on her face, I can tell that she doesn’t want to be there, they ar
Drake’s POVI can’t believe that I just tortured my brother, why the hell would he make me do such a thing?He pushed me!He fucking pushed me!He could have just told me what I wanted to know, and I would never have resorted to this harsh method, but he kept teasing and mocking me. He called me a weakling, and he threatened to destroy everything I care about. I was already pissed off at him for daring to challenge me. I couldn’t control my anger when I heard him say those nasty things about Mia and I. I fucking lost it, and if not for the intervention of the police, I wouldn’t have stopped hurting him until I force out every damn information about Austin Foster. All he kept saying is that, “You will never win against Austin Foster!You better run, Drake. He is coming for you.” He let out smugly. I guess he is trying to scare me out of town too bad he’s doing such a terrible job at it. I don’t feel scared or threatened by that idiot, if anything, I feel challenged by him, and that on
Still Drakes POV“Get your filthy hands away from me, you lying cheat!” She yelled furiously, shrugging my hands off roughly. That was weird, I mean, she was cool with me before I left right?We made passionate love to each other last night, she was so perfect, so amazing. I know I didn’t spend more time with her after that but had to sort out this business with Riley, I had to make sure that he doesn’t get us both in trouble. I was out all night and when I got back home, I still worked on my laptop and hers. I did all this to make sure that she doesn’t fall into any of their trap. I’m trying to shield her from a harsh reality, why the hell is she treating me this way, is this what I get for working so hard to protect her and my family?“I'm sorry I left you alone for so long, I had to take care of a few things. I won’t do it again, my love. I will never leave you alone and lonely for so a long time. It won’t happen again, I promise.” I pleaded softly, wrapping my hand around her hips
Mia’s POV“How did you find out about Rosalie?” he asked me in shock, proving to me that the bitch was right after all. He knows her, she is his girlfriend, and according to her, they have been dating for the past two years or thereabouts, I really don’t care about that. I just want her out of my fucking house!She claims I stole her man, she actually took a long flight down here to get back her man from me, I mean, can you believe that?After Drake left with his boys, I stayed in our bedroom watching one of my favorite shows on TV and waiting for his arrival. I was also curious, very curious. I want to know the deal between him and Riley, why are they suddenly fighting with each other, is it because of me?And where the hell is my laptop, why was Riley’s laptop replaced with mine, like, what the hell is going on here?Drake behaves so strangely sometimes, at times I feel like I know nothing about the guy. I want to get to know him better, I want to know why he reacted that way when h
Mia’s POV“How did you find out about Rosalie?Where the hell is she, what did she say to you, did she try to hurt you?” he asked me in a panic, pulling me closer to examine my body for injuries or scars. I shrugged him off, putting some distance between us. I couldn’t help wondering why he panicked when I told him about her. Why on earth did he think that she had hurt me, is she a lunatic?“By the way, I thought I asked you to stay in here until I get back, why did you come down to meet Rosalie?What if she had hurt you?Worse yet, what if she was lying about knowing me, what if it was a plot to get you down here? You could have been hurt Mia, and that is why you have to follow my instructions always. When I tell you to do something, I expect you to follow my instruction, I thought we’d talked about this!” he scolds me angrily. I almost laughed at his smart move, what the hell does he take me for?“Is that all you have to say?For fucks sake, I just told you that your ex-girlfriend
Still Mia’s POVI watched him sleep peacefully like a little baby. I know he asked me to stay in bed with him, but I couldn’t fall asleep anymore, not when that bitch is staying in my room that is just next door. She seems confident that she can have him back, and sad to say, her confidence is quite intimidating, I mean, she has a history with him, she knows him better than I do, she has loved him longer than I have and he loved her before he even set his eyes on me.So tell me,How do I compete with that?I barely know the guy!For fucks sake, he is my husband and I don’t know the simplest things about him. He did his research about me before he agreed to this marriage, but I never thought to find out anything about him. I know he has been away for a long time and I also know that he is a self-made multi-billionaire and heir to the Osborne group of companies.That’s all…That, and the fact that he is so damn good in bed, is everything I know about my husband. Isn’t that ridiculous?O
Still Mia’s POV“Are you ready to listen to me?” he asked me, smirking at me.“Let me out, Drake. I don’t want to talk right now.” I responded weakly. I walked up to him, trying to get the key from his hand, but he kept taking it out of my reach, making me jump continuously as I tried to reach for it. I kept struggling to reach for the key, I did not realize that he was tricking me and luring me into his arm. Before I realized what was happening, I was backed to the wall, with his hand wrapped around my waist while the other hand held the key high above my head. He had a mischievous smile playing on his face as he looked down at me, smiling.“What would it take to make you trust me, how do I earn your trust?” he asks me, sounding so calm, caressing my cheeks. I couldn’t resist his touch, I unwillingly leaned into his warm touch as a soft moan escaped my lips. I don’t have an answer to his question, I wasn’t even thinking about his question, I melted in his arms and I let him hug me t
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
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“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
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
