Ella

Emotions are everywhere. I came here to be consoled but faced worse betrayal. It may not be a big deal for them but it is for me.

They took her away and declared her dead. My anger is now replaced by a flood of guilt.

Did they do it because she started being close to me?

I now feel very bad because I may have set her life upside down without knowing.’’It wasn’t Adrian's fault.’’ her soft voice pulls me back from my abyss of guilt and I turn to her.

‘’You don’t have to defend him you know.’’ I force a smile and she sighs.

‘’It was completely my fault. I betrayed and sold everything you told me to Sofia. I even encouraged you to go out with her didn’t that ring a bell?’’ tears swell in her eyes and I reach over to her and squeeze her hands.

The car comes to a stop at a red light and I smile a half smile at a friend I once thought I had lost. ‘’I almost died, Camilla. Twice. I understand it’s not easy being forced into a life you never planned for. I understand you better than
The every woman

    Luca A distressed Ella walks in with Torren who looks like his life flashed before his eyes. ‘’Why do you both look like shit?’’ No words come out, only tears and I frown. What the hell is wrong with our little bride? Adrian bursts in and is panicking’’ Ella!’’ He breathes as he rushes to her side and wraps his arms around her. And now the groom too, I shake my head. ‘’Did someone die? What the Fuck is going on?’’ I ask irritatedly when all I see are continuous tears and no one seems to want to speak. I look in Torren’s direction ‘’’ Well?’’ I raise my eyebrow and he avoids contact with me. Are we still on the betrayal shit? I think to myself but I don't bother asking out loud. ‘’Camilla and Ella went out and ended up at a bridal store. It seems we relaxed a little since no one knew we were in Vegas.’’ Adrian speaks but it makes no sense to me. Adrian fucking Capo relaxing? That's new. ‘’So why does everyone look agitated?’’ I ask as I try to grasp the situation. ‘’Where

    Camilla Life can be so unfair. The most painful thing about my life is that I’m always unlucky. Instead of a normal life, I’m paying my father’s debt and to protect my sister, I have to work harder and clear it, so she doesn’t live the same life as me even if I die in the process. The only man my heart jumps for thinks of me as nothing but a slut to help relieve his swollen cock and it hurts me. And now I'm in this mess again. One minute I was with Ella and the next I was hit with something heavy making me black out and now I have no idea where the hell I am. I'm not even sure if my legs are working. Fear clings to every fiber of my being as I find myself trapped in the dimly lit warehouse. The cold, hard floor beneath me feels unforgiving, and my hands are tightly bound. ‘’No one is coming to save me and I have no money so if you’re planning on killing me, please do it quickly,’’ I speak as high as I can even though my throat feels like it’s been set on fire. ‘’Is that what

    Camilla The sound goes through loud enough to burst a heart and that heart which is about to busted is mine. I watch but the horror isn’t as I expect because the one who gets shot is not Luca. But his crazy ex. Adrian stands behind and once she drops dead, Luca is quick on his feet too ‘’Quickly hide.’’ He tells me and I turn but stop mid-way. ‘’What about you? I whisper and he curses under his breath as another gunshot rings. The goons start to multiply and as the gunfire increases, I freeze. ‘’For fucks sake Camilla, you will get me killed while I try to protect you so hide so I can stay alive.’’ He growls and that is enough to set my heels on fire. Part of me wants to ask why he would die protecting me but I decide better of it and obey. I duck behind some crates which is the best I can do at the moment. Luca came to save me and Adrian came to save Luca? Okay dying here tonight will be better than going back home and having to explain why a ‘’Moretti’’ saved me. There i

  • Owned by the Mafia King   Chapter Sixteen : The ledger In marriage

    Adrian The day has finally arrived and I will be making Ella my wife. Not for the ledger and not for power but because I have fallen for her. Hard. When I went to that Auction five months ago, I wanted to ruin her. Her tears were satisfying for me and my sadistic cock. But now all I want is to see her smile. I will burn the fucking world for her without even blinking or thinking twice about it. The ledger is just a bonus and if it will keep her five times more safe, then why not? "Come on man, you don't even have friends!" Luca nudges me and I hold back the urge to punch him. "No!" I growl and he curses. "Why not?" He frowns and his blue eyes light up in amusement like a child. The only time I've ever seen this side of Luca is when he is asking me to give him someone to torture, seeing him behave this way over wanting to be my best man makes me question if my assumptions have been right all along. "You want to be the best man just because Camilla is the Chief bridesmaid?

    Luca I don't know what the Fuck Adrian just saw that made him five times alert. I don't need him to speak up, I know what to do. "I've got it. Proceed with the greetings so that no one suspects anything." I whisper to him and he nods. Taking that as a sign of a go-ahead, I walk to the one person who can have answers to my question. "Why the fuck is Carlos alive and why is he here?" I whisper to Dad who looks like he just saw a ghost when all I did was mention his name. It's a funny scene because this man is a deadly beast hiding behind his nephew now proclaimed as his son Pathetic! I wonder what Mum saw in him. "I'll check thoroughly." He says as he tries stand to up and I just push him back down by his shoulders. "Stay sitted, you'll only cause a stir. If he is up to something we'll know." I say and turn around to proceed with my best man duties. Once I'm certain all the men we stationed are in their positions, I nod in satisfaction but my eyes stop on one figure. A

    Camilla I’m so busy catching my breath that I barely notice the door has opened. Luca is still inside me when the door opens and his body is too big for me to see who is standing there. Or for them to see my face. The man must be horrified by what he sees that his voice rings, ‘’Five minutes and I’m coming back in.’’ and the door shuts. Luca pulls out of me and curses under his breath, ‘’That was dad.’’ He sighs in a frustrated tone and I frown. Did he forget that he tore my dress to pieces? ‘’ The man said he would be back after five minutes! My dress is in shreds!’’ My voice comes out stronger than it should and he holds the bridge of his nose in irritation. Blue eyes stare back at me and I drown in them, ‘’I know. Toren is on his way.’’ He says in a ‘’as a matter of fact tone.’’ ‘’What time did you contact him?’’ Curiosity grows deep inside me as I begin to wonder how that was possible. ‘’Just now.’’ He responds plainly and I don’t believe him. Right before I can call him

    Luca I watch as she runs out the door and my heart hurts. Why am I bothered by how she is feeling? My father came here intentionally to test me but I’m not sure what his real angle is. My legs want to run after her but I can’t because he will use her against me especially after I saved her and as if reading my mind he laughs before he says, ‘’Are you not running after her?’’ ‘’Why would I do that?’’ I ask as I try to sound uninterested and bored. Right before I came in here, he was about to shit his pants from my threats and now less than an hour later, he suddenly has enough confidence to stand and try to corner me. He is up to something. ‘’Oh I don’t know, you tell me. Are you not the one who is always rescuing your damsel in distress?’’ he asks in a sarcastic tone and It takes everything in me not to land a beating on him but that is what he is looking for. A weakness in me is what he wants. A confirmation of how I feel, so they can use a bunch on bullshit hidden as rules t

    Luca The kiss is intense, a mix of frustration, anger, and a dangerous longing. For a moment, everything around us fades, and it's just her lips on mine, her taste, her warmth. I feel her resistance at first, but then she succumbs to the unexpected kiss. When we finally pull away, her eyes are wide, and I see a myriad of emotions playing across her face—confusion, anger, maybe a hint of desire. I ignore the glares from those around us, the shocked whispers, and the disapproving looks. I only care about the woman in front of me It was meant to be a statement but now I feel really drawn to her and the foreign feeling that has been building inside me explodes. . "What the hell was that?" Camilla's voice is a sharp whisper, her eyes flashing with a mixture of emotions. "A reminder," I respond, my tone low and filled with a challenge. "A reminder that I’m not immune to the chaos, that I’m not as untouchable as they believe." I can also fall in love. That is the reminder I want to sen

  • 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

  • Owned by the Mafia King   Chapter Forty One: A game of greater Power

    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
