Ella

Having successfully pulled my stunt to feel better, it doesn't work!

I still feel like shit and my ass still burns from those spanks Adrian gave me. That man is a psychopath and I hate him. When the detective meets me I will surely team up with him. I want my life back and I will do whatever it takes to keep my family safe.

Picking up my phone, I call Toddy who picks on a third ring.

"Hey T it's me, Ella," I whisper into the phone.

"Ella? Oh, baby! How are you? Are you safe?" he asks sounding panicked and I nod forgetting that he can't see me.

"Yes, I am. I'll be home soon so wait for me and stay safe okay? I've got to go now."

"Ella! Waai.." before he can finish I hang up. Staying on a call longer with him might put him in danger. I just hope these calls are not recorded.

One thing I have noticed is that Adrian gave me a restricted number I can call but no one can call me which explains why Nana hasn't been able to reach me.

A knock brings me to life, and when I o

  • Owned by the Mafia King   Chapter Sixteen; Bloodshed

    Adrian The discoveries I made about my family were shocking. From the fact that my father is not my real father to the fact that my mother has been deceiving me all these years. I knew she loved money more than anything but this was a step too far. I went to end her. But I didn't. I decided to shoot and miss. I will decide what to do with her later. For now, the fact that she doesn't know when or how I will kill her is her torture, and driving her insane is part of my agenda. I returned home to a wasted Ella. She was softly snoring and the sight made me angry. What if she did this at a local bar? Just the thought of someone touching what's mine made me clench my fist. After her drunk call, I rushed home like a madman. Acting out of character didn't even bother me at the moment. All I could think of was getting home to her. "Get Camilla and don't go soft on her. I warned her but she did it anyway!" I instruct Luca who just watches me like he has seen a ghost. I've noticed eve

  • Owned by the Mafia King   Chapter Seventeen: An Irreversible decision

    Ella Twisting and turning, I flutter my eyes open and decide to head downstairs for coffee or anything I can eat that will take my mind off things. Adrian left yesterday for Italy and hasn't even called me yet. My number is restricted but I know that shouldn't be a problem for him. He has been taking me on a roller coaster ride and I have no idea how to place my feelings. Toddy is waiting for me and I have my grandparents to protect so I have to do whatever it takes to be set free. Sighing, I get off Adrian's bed and head downstairs where I find Nonna busy cooking and baking. At 1 AM? "Can I help?" I ask and she jumps from fright and I laugh. She lives in a house full of Mafia men, what would frighten her? "You scared me, little girl. Can't sleep, No?" She asks. Her voice is full of concern and very different from the woman I met on the first day here. I smile while shaking my head and take a seat on the counter. She gets me a cup and I laugh. It's like she can read minds.

  • Owned by the Mafia King   Chapter Eighteen; Unsettling Invitation

    Ella As the morning light crept through the curtains, I stirred from my uneasy slumber, plagued by the guilt and fear of what I had done the previous night. I knew that I had betrayed the devil himself, and now, I could feel the walls closing in around me. I pushed the thoughts aside for now, as there was no turning back. I got out of bed and followed my usual routine, showering and dressing in clothes provided by my so-called Master. Downstairs, Nonna was already busy in the kitchen, the clattering of pots and pans a familiar backdrop to this surreal life. I joined her for breakfast, trying to act as normal as possible, although the weight of my actions pressed heavily on my chest. "Good morning Nonna." I smile and she smiles back warmly. "Sleep well in the Boss's bedroom, yes?" She asks, her eyes full of warmth. I decide to just give her back a warm smile instead of details I wouldn't want her to get in trouble as I'm away. She places a hot cup of coffee in front of me and I smi

    Ella My head feels like it's been broken into a thousand pieces. My body feels like I was set on fire then left in the sun to burn. I try to turn but my hands are tied to a chain. I have no strength to pull it and the room is so dark and the air heavy. Memories come crashing down on me like a hurricane. I have no tears left to cry and no strength left to fight. When Adrian finds out what I did, he will kill me in the worst way possible so I might as well just die here to save him the trouble. "Is the princess awake?" a familiar voice wakes me. Sofia? I slowly try to flutter my eyes open but struggle as whatever I was given is still making me dizzy and sleepy. "Fuck you!" I spit angrily. "Just shoot me already. What a coward!" I scream with all the energy left in me. She laughs, her sound echoing in what now seems like an empty garage. Her voice is bitter and cold when she speaks. "You see, I know what you did. And you know it too. Right Detective?" My face pales and b

    Ella My eyes have been open for hours but I keep lying in the same position because I'm afraid of what Adrian will do to me. It has been five days since he rescued me and during the entire time, he has been working from home. Maybe he doesn't trust anyone to keep an eye on me. My death will surely be painful. My heart bleeds at the thought of something bad happening to my grandparents because of my rushed decisions. Maybe if I had waited he would have set me free. But it's too late now. Tears fall on my pillow as I lay on my side. The smell of wood and leather hit me and I instantly realized that I was in his room. Why? The door opens and his deep voice reaches my ears as he speaks into what I assume is a phone "No, not yet. I will decide and let you know." he is silent for a while then he speaks again"She is getting better. I'll do that." A shiver runs down my spine as I feel his hot gaze on my back. My back is turned to him but I can feel his stare on my back making me

  • Owned by the Mafia King   Chapter Twenty One: A full heart

    Ella A gentle stroke of my hair wakes me up. My eyes are half open when I find the gorgeous criminal sleeping on his side balancing on his elbow as he strokes my hair. My cheeks burn a hot pink when I realize that he has been watching me sleep. What if I had my mouth open? "Good morning my little spitfire." he greets me with the perfect smile I rarely see. "You should smile more often." I blurt out. He chuckles as he stands on his feet "For you I will." and that response is enough to knock all the air out of my lungs. I catch my breath but say nothing. I watch him disappear into the bathroom. After a few moments, he returns, carrying a warm, fluffy towel. "Ella," he calls me softly, "you've been through so much. It's time to take care of yourself." His voice is gentle but resolute, and I can't help but wonder why he is acting this way. I'm not complaining. I love it when he does this. The problem is I'm beginning to forget a lot of things as I start to fall for him. I aske

    Ella Camilla is dead? Just like that? My world spins as I can't seem to put one and two together. How can this have happened? Tears roll down my face as I sit on the floor to mourn my dear friend. Guilt hits me like a hurricane as I realize that it could have been because of me. With blurred vision, I begin to hit Adrian's hard chest. He doesn't even flinch but he doesn't stop me either. He lets me cry as he kneels on the floor with me. He holds me in his arms as he whispers soothing words to me. "How could this have happened?" I ask in tears but then realization hits me. I'll punish her later. Is this what he meant by punishing her? "No, I did not pull the trigger." Adrian sighs. "But I wish I was the one who pulled it," he adds. Confusion hits me. He is giving vague answers which could mean anything. But my heart is too hurt to dwell on figuring out what he means. I grab his shirt as I wail. Hot tears roll down my face as I remember her warm smile, her hugs, and how s

    Adrian The past days have been nothing but full of shit. I have so many threats and a fucking target on my back that I need to handle but not enough time. When Ella was kidnapped by Sofia, I crossed borders to save her despite the news I had received moments before. News that hurt me. She fucking betrayed me. But hell what was I expecting? Her undying commitment and loyalty? I'm a monster. A cold-hearted killer who takes what he wants without looking back so I didn't really hold it against her. I couldn't. I don't know why but I couldn't. "What will you do about Marco?" Luca asks. I know I started a fucking war by killing the Bianchi Princess. But they should have seen it coming. No one touches what is mine and lives. She is mine to ruin. "Double the security. He has no power and is desperately looking for allies. I'll need you to take over Las Vegas so we can render him useless." I say and he nods to acknowledge he understands. "What about Camilla?" Luca asks and I r

  • Owned by the Mafia King   Epilogue

    Camilla ‘’I can’t believe I said yes and I’m wearing a wedding gown instead of being on a flight away from here.’’ I shake my head in disbelief and Ella laughs as she stares at my reflection with me. This has been the most crazy thing I've done and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm so happy and being here with my best friend makes it even more fulfilling. ‘’I guess the day we went out to try on the dress was a sign that the time was near.’’She jokes but quickly rushes to the bathroom. ‘’Ella are you okay?’’ I follow her and she turns to me with a thumbs up as the realization hits me. She is pregnant! ‘’I haven’t told him yet she confesses and I laugh. ‘’Your secret is safe with me.’’ I wink at her and we continue to prepare for my wedding. Who would have thought that the two of us would ever tie the not? I was just a maid, he was the prince of the underworld. I can’t help but feel nervous and wonder if I’m good enough for him. ‘’Was the Viktor issue handled?’’ I ask Ella

  • Owned by the Mafia King   Chapter Forty Four: Is he dead?

    Camilla It’s been five days since the doctor said Luca would be fine. Three days ago he regained consciousness but I’ve been too afraid to approach him. I don’t know if he even wants to see me. His mother has been very supportive and hopeful that our love will blossom into something beautiful but I’m not so sure about that. We have never been on the same page and now I don’t even know how to face him. It's crazy how time flies and relationships change. But I can't help but wonder. What do you say to a man who took a bullet for you after you had said the most horrible things to him? ‘’Just go and see him before you regret it,’’ Ella says and I shake my head. I have been avoiding visiting him by any means necessary because the guilt wouldn't let me live after seeing him unconscious and knowing that my mouth led us here. If only had kept quiet and not said anything to provoke Viktor, maybe this would have turned out differently. Once again, it has been proven that we are meant to

    CamillaEverything happens so fast that my mind can barely keep up with it. Tears roll down my face as I sock into Luca’s blood. His body starts to get cold and I scream so loud as the guilt grips me. The one time that I decide to finally stand up and not be tossed around, costs me so much. This should have been me. I should have been hit but he took the bullet for me. He did it even when I had said the most horrible things to him. I don’t know how everything happens but I hear guns blaring and shouting. Angry voices are in the air as someone pulls me from Luca. Everything is in slow motion and it feels like I’m not really present but experiencing this through someone else. ‘’Mr. Moretti said to protect you with our lives!.’’ The man shouts but I fight him. ‘’You should be calling an ambulance! Can’t you see he is on the brink of death?!’’ I scream but it seems I’ve been screaming so much without knowing and my voice is now barely audible. ‘’Take her to safety!’’ Adrian orders and

    Adrian. Pride cannot begin to explain what I’m feeling as I watch Luca beat up the famous Dimitri like it's nothing. Blood splashes everywhere with each punch that he throws. He tries to throw a few punches, but Luca is too fast and too accurate. The boy is a machine and having made him my enforcer satisfies me to the very core because like always, I only got the best. I knew he had feelings for Camilla even before I had asked him to watch over her and my assumptions were proven right after that but I did not think he would push through with this despite my countless warnings.’’The brat has really fallen in love this time.’’ I chuckle as I pull out my phone which is vibrating. ‘’Are you just going to let that little spoilt brat start a war!’’ John shouts and I have to remove the phone from my earpiece to avoid them from bursting. ‘’That brat is the Enforcer and if he has done so much damage to a man like Dimitri, imagine what he will do to you?’’ I respond lazily. I don’t even k

    Luca Anger seethes through me as I walk out of Camilla’s apartment. I don’t blame her but the least she could have done was trust me and join hands with me. I guess I’ve done so much to hurt her that she would rather hate me. Even though I know she didn’t mean anything she said, It hurts like hell. ‘’Send up security five times more intense,’’ I instruct Sean. I was too late and I found the son of a bitch gone, but that was the last time because everything ends now. The Russians may have power but I’m a fucking enforcer with Moretti blood in my veins. Power is defined by us and I’m about to show these men exactly what that means. My phone vibrates and I check the caller ID as I walk to the car. ‘’Yes, boss?’’ I respond, addressing Adrian as I expect him to gloat. "Viktor called.’’He says and I laugh dryly. ‘’Then I guess you got the memo. I was hoping to call you once I got his head on a silver platter.’’ I speak through the phone as I step on the reverse. ‘’I will handle Vikt

    ’Someone just came in from the back door! Camilla are they here to kill us?!’’ Cassie cries in fear and I run to hold her in a tight hug before whispering, ‘’Everything is going to be okay. Just remain calm okay?’’ ‘’Oh, I hate loud bitches. Shut her or I will. Permanently.’’ Dimitri growls as he takes a sit on the couch and his goons stand in the corners of our apartment. My thoughts are moving at an incredible speed only to come up with no solution. The only thing I have is fear. I should have known something was wrong when he asked so much about me and from the way that Luca reacted when he saw him. I should have read the signs and like he is reading my mind he says, ‘’Oh don’t beat up yourself too much. You couldn’t have known. But now you do so I suggest you do the right thing and we will all be happy.’’ ‘’I have no money and I owe no one. What do you want from us!?’’ I scream as tears roll down my face. I should stand and be strong but the strength is slowly fading and I can

    Camilla The tea flies all over the place as I try to sink in what Luca just said. ‘’That’s not funny!’’ I snap but he doesn’t smile or tease me. He just looks straight into my eyes and I shift uncomfortably. I wait for the moment when he passes a nasty comment to break the ice but it doesn't come. I get more uncomfortable as the realization hits me. He is serious! I clear my throat as I try to digest what is happening until I find the strength to speak,’’ Luca, we can’t just get married.’’ I reason with him but he frowns and I smile at how cute he gets when something confuses him. ‘’Why not? We love each other.’’ He says and I nod although, I’m still yet to believe that this man here loves me. My heart pounds at a crazy speed to hear him repeat that. ‘’Well ...’’ , I begin but he beats me to it. ‘’You don’t believe me?’’ He asks as an expression of pain crosses his features. ‘’I do. I do. It’s just that we have so many things to sort out. I mean I was made to leave because

    Luca Without uttering a word, I move closer, my gaze never leaving hers. The air is charged with an unspoken tension, and as I reach her, I gently cup her face with my hands. The warmth of her skin beneath my touch sends shivers down my spine. "What have you done to me?" I repeat my voice now a whisper. Camilla's eyes search mine for answers, and I lean in, capturing her lips with a slow, lingering kiss. It's a moment of passion and a load of emotions, a silent exchange of emotions that words fail to convey. She responds, her fingers finding their way into my hair as the kiss deepens. The connection between us intensifies, the weight of unspoken desires filling the room. I pull back, just enough to look into her eyes. "I can't stop thinking about you," I confess again, the raw honesty hanging in the air. "I want you close, Camilla. Closer than ever." She looks at me, her expression a mix of surprise and something else, something that mirrors the uncharted territory of her own feel
