"This is the worst birthday ever," I sighed, biting my lips.

Giovanna shared a look with Avery and shook their head, she was probably tired of hearing me say that throughout the drive.

They had insisted on me following them to the mall to pick a few dresses to uplift my mood. And I was wearing one of those dresses right now on the way to wherever they were taking me. They said it looked perfect on me and I shouldn't bother taking it off.

It was weird, but I didn't argue with them.

Today is my 28th birthday and the only person who wished me were Avery and Giovanna. No calls from my parents, or even Mikhail. Nobody.

It made me worried and hurt. Did he forget? We spoke on the phone throughout the night, and he didn't remember it was my birthday the next day? I tried to call him earlier, but his phone was switched off.

What the hell?

The car stopped outside a hotel and we stepped out.

"I still don't get it," I said as we made our way into the lobby.

"You'll see," Giovanna smile

The music from the television downstairs filled the house, and I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face.It was almost ten, and the party had ended a few hours ago. My family and friends had gone home. Giovanna and Avery had spent the last hour helping me clean up and pack the presents. They said they needed to rush home and take care of some urgent business.So, they left.And, it was only Mikhail and I.It had been a long day. But the most fun I'd had in a long time.

It feels like a dream.""This is very much real." He breathed and pressed his lips against my neck, trailing kisses down to my chest.I lifted my head and bit his lip, tugging lightly.He unclasped my bra and threw it onto the floor, his tongue swirled around my left nipple, and I moaned.He cupped my breasts, and I gasped

    WARNING! This chapter contains detailed sexual content and it's rated 18+E L L EI bobbed my head back and forth, trying to take as much of him as possible, but it wasn't easy. He was huge, and my jaw hurt a little from his size."Fuck, Elle. That's it. Keep going, baby." He drawled out, his eyes filled with ecstasy. I cupped his balls and kept sucking his cock, and I felt him stiffen, and his fingers tightened around my hair."No, baby. I'm going to come."He gently pushed me onto the bed and spread my legs open, his hands on my hips, holding me in place.He leaned down and brushed his lips against mine, and slowly pushed the tip of his cock into me.I bit his lip and he grunted and thrust forward, his cock stretching my pussy."Ahhh..." I moaned, feeling uncomfortable for a second. The fact that I haven't had sex in so long and Mikhail was big, was enough to make me gasp. "You're so fucking tight." He hissed, pleasure over clouding his face. He looked even sexier, and I got even m

    M I K H A I LI woke up to the most exquisite sight, a very naked Elle, sleeping soundly beside me, her long lashes resting on her cheeks, her soft lips slightly parted, and her wild curly hair splayed around her.She was an angel, and she was all mine.I leaned forward and kissed her forehead and she stirred in her sleep.I smiled and carefully got up, not wanting to disturb her, and went into the bathroom.A few minutes later, I walked back into the bedroom, and she was still asleep.I pulled on my boxers and jeans and quietly opened the door, shutting it softly behind me.The hallway was dark, and the rest of the house was quiet. It was barely seven in the morning. I went into the kitchen and made some coffee and sat on the stool, sipping the hot drink.I went through my mails on my phone, realizing I needed to be at work later today. I continued scrolling through my phone when I heard light footsteps slowly descending the stairs, and I looked up.Elle walked into the kitchen, yaw

    M I K H A I LI turned my car's engine off in front of my company, opening up my phone to look at Elle's picture for the hundredth time today.It was a picture I took of her on her birthday, and it was by far my favorite picture of her. She had a soft smile on her face, her curls framing her face, her hazel eyes glowing with happiness, and the cake and presents beside her.I decided the picture was too good to be shared on social media, and kept it all to myself. I quickly used it as my lock screen and chat wallpaper. A few people greeted me on my way inside, and I waved, rushing toward my office.Once I entered, I closed the door and slumped down on my chair, taking a deep breath.Ivan walked into my office and rose a brow as he saw me. "Is it me or your face seems brighter these days? What's the secret man?" He said, plopping down on the chair across from me, his hands folded.I chuckled and leaned back, "It's nothing. Just happy with how everything's turning out.""Yeah. Business

Is this your pathetic attempt to win her back?" I mocked. "If I wanted her back, you'd already be dead." He threatened, his jaw clenched.I simply rolled my eyes, "Yeah, okay. You're not the first person to threaten my life. But the last thing you should worry about is me, it's her. And that's why I'm warning you right now. If you even think about hurting her, you'll regret it. I promise.""Enjoy Elle while you can, because soon you'll see her for who she really is. She's just a manipulative, heartless bitch that deserves the worst. And you're nothing but a temporary fuck, because that's all she wants. You're no different than her.""You're just bitter because she realized what an asshole you were. She's a strong woman, and she doesn't need you. You're just wasting your time and energy thin

    E L L E We entered the restaurant and the hostess guided us to a table where a couple was seated. The man had dark hair, green eyes and was tall, his features strong. He was quite handsome. The woman had blonde hair and blue eyes, her facial features soft. She was pretty. "Ivan." Mikhail greeted, smiling. "Mikhail." He stood and they shook hands, hugging briefly. "This is Elle. My girlfriend." Mikhail said, and I felt a tingle run through my body when he referred to me as his girlfriend. "Hello, nice to meet you." I smiled. "Elle, this is Ivan, my best friend. And this is Emily." I didn't miss the flicker in Ivan's eyes as he looked at Emily. Weren't they dating? Why didn't Mikhail address her as Ivan's girlfriend. I internally shook my head. I was thinking too much. "Nice to meet you, Elle. You look gorgeous." Emily smiled, and we shook hands. I smiled, her accent reminding me of Mikhail. "Thanks. You look beautiful too."

It didn't help that my gown was very short and I could feel his touch directly on my skin. His phone rang, and he picked it up."Hello? Yeah, no problem. Be right there."He hung up and turned toward me, "Baby, something came up. Do you mind if I drop you off at home?""Oh? I thought we were going to spend the night together?" I couldn't even hide the disappointment in my tone. I didn't want to sound needy, of course he has work. I was just looking forward to spending time with him."Oh shit. Will... uhm, will you stay at my place until I return? I promise I won't take long. You could make yourself comfortable until I get home.""Of course." That was definitely much better, I thought with a smile. We drove the rest of the way to his house in silence.Mikhail's house was huge. It was a modern mansi

I think something is wrong with the baby, Mikhail. I- I aah!" I screamed as the pain intensified, and I bent over, feeling lightheaded.Mikhail was talking to someone on the phone, and he was yelling, his voice panicked."Elle, love. Listen to me, okay. We have to go.""Where are we going?""To the hospital, love. We have to get you there. It's going to be okay.""O-o-k-kay," I managed to choke out.He picked me up, and carried me out of the house, and straight into the car.He strapped me in, and closed the door, getting in on the other side.

    M I K H A I LAs the weeks flew by, we were getting closer and closer to Elle's due date. In two weeks time, she'd be entering the very last month of her pregnancy.And I've been angsty, Michael hasn't got much information on Emory, and we still have no idea where the threats were coming from, and what we were dealing with.Everything had been quiet, and there were no news. It was as if we had entered a state of limbo.A weird, calm, limbo.I wanted to be hopeful, but my gut was telling me that she was up to something, and whatever it was, wasn't good.And, I was right.Elle was at home, and safe, and I had decided to spend the day with her. She was in the kitchen, which I had frowned upon but she had insisted that she was craving 'Her' own food. She was making cookies, and I was watching her, and making sure she wasn't overdoing it.Her bump had gotten bigger, and she was looking more and more like a balloon.She was wearing a grey, oversized t-shirt, and black sweatpants, and her ha

    G I O V A N N ASebastian left a couple of minutes ago, to go get ready for our flight tonight. I placed back and forth, tugging my hair in frustration.I should have known that allowing Laura go to Italy all on her own was a bad idea. But for some reason, she has insisted on nobody coming with her, which was quite suspicious, because everyone knows how much Laura hayes bring in Italy, because of the horrid memories it holds for her.Something was off, and I had no idea what it was.I could have insisted more on her to let Sebastian come with her, or maybe me. Or even, one of my trusted security men.But, she had refused, saying it was important that she was alone, and now, look what had happened.She was gone.With no trace of who had abducted her, and no single lead.I was losing my mind.I was worried sick, and had been calling non-stop, asking for updates, and I had none. Avery came up to me, stopping my movements. "Relax. You will find her."I groaned. "This is so frustrating. Th

    S E B A S T I A NIt's been exactly twenty four hours of calling Laura's number non-stop, and no response.Something was wrong.Really, fucking, wrong.Laura had never missed a call from me, and especially since she had promised to keep communication open. I have dropped more than 300 missed calls, and several texts, yet no response.Where was she?The last text she had sent me was twenty six hours , telling me that the funeral was ongoing and she would facetime me when she gets back home. But, she didn't. Something was definitely wrong.My heart was pounding in my chest, and anxiety was slowly taking over. Where was she?I was having a really bad feeling about her, and I didn't know if I was worrying for nothing or my worries were indeed valid. Laura wouldn't intentionally ignore my calls, knowing I'm sick with worry.What if something happened to her?What if she was attacked?What if her father's funeral had taken a turn for the worse? What if someone was holding her captive?Or, w

    L A U R AThe shot rang in my ears, and I watched in horror as blood spurted from Marco's mouth and his body slumped to the floor."What did you do?!" Bile rose in my throat as I watched the horrific sight in front of me, a cold shiver and a feeling of deja vu running through my body.I have seen Viktor take people's life like it was nothing too many times. He kills humans faster than he kills a mosquito. He has no compassion, no emotions, no remorse. He's a monster.If you think my father was horrible, Viktor is ten times worse than him. He's the devil incarnate."Why? Why did you do that? He was innocent.""What he deserved. No one, and I mean, no one, will ever defy me. If he can't do his job, he is useless. There's no use keeping a man who's a coward. I'll have to get another one who is not a pussy like Marco to get the job done, sí?"My mind ran fast, and I had to think of a way to convince him against this. "What's the point of allowing another man to touch what is yours? It's o

You're tense, and nervous, and I don't want you to make a scene. Not now. Not when we're so close to finally being together again. So, stop struggling, and enjoy the ride. You will get there, eventually."He injected the contents into my blood stream, and I watched him, and the man driving, as the world around me started spinning.And, the last thing I saw was Viktor's smiling face.A face that had haunted me every single day, and a face that was the last thing I had ever wanted to see again.It was a nightmare.I slumped on the seat, and blacked out."Wakey, wakey, sleeping beauty. Wake the fuck up. I've waited too long for this."I heard Viktor's voice, and I struggled to open my eyes. I blinked a few times, and the room came into focus.I was in a room, sitting in a chair, with my hands tied behind me, an

    L A U R AToday is my father's funeral.I woke up, feeling a dar, gloomy cloud over my head. It was screaming danger. Something was about to happen. Something big. I could feel it.But, I didn't let my fear get the best of me. I got out of bed, walking into my bathroom to take a shower. As the warm water cascaded down my skin, I couldn't help but remember the first time Viktor took me, and he made me bleed."Viktor, please..." I cried, trying to pull my wrists free. He was holding them down, hovering over me, and spreading my legs with his own as he smiled sadistically. No single remorse in his eyes."No."He took me forcefully, my frail sixteen year old body unable to withstand the strength and power of a thirty two year old man.It felt like he was splitting me open. My eyes filled with tears, and I begged him to stop. And when I saw that I didn't have a choice, I begged him to go slowly that he was hurting me, I screamed for help, but he slapped a hand over my mouth, and shoved hi

    L A U R AMy phone rang, as Sebastian's name appeared on the screen."Hey, baby." I smiled, and walked out onto the balcony, and sat on the chair."How are you doing, Laura? Are you holding up okay?""Yeah. I'm fine." I lied, and he sighed."I know you're not okay, baby. Please, tell me the truth."I knew i had to keep lying to him. For his own sake. He didn't deserve to be dragged into my Mafia world, full of hatred, chaos, violence, and danger. He was an innocent, and his only mistake was loving me."It's just the stress from the funeral arrangements. We're having a wake for my father, and then a burial in the family cemetery. And, there are a lot of preparations that need to be made. The board, and the family members have to attend, and we have to make sure everything is perfect.""Do you want me to come? I can take some time off work, and stay for a few days, and help you. Then we'd come back to America together. How does that sound?""It's alright, Seb. You don't have to come. I'

    L A U R AThe next day, I was forced to go see my father's body at the morgue. Not really forced, but it's kind of like a family tradition where a child has to see and pray on the father's body, to send him off for an eternal rest in heaven.If only they knew that even my prayers wouldn't stop God's plans for that man. He was going to make him suffer and rot in hell with the devil, exactly where he belongs. He's a devil, and the devil's family.The coroner pulled the body out of the freezer, and I had to keep myself from retching, and rolling my eyes. He was so pale, and his skin was almost blue. He was wearing an oversized shirt, and his arms were folded on top of his stomach.Fabian held my arm, and I took a deep breath, and watched as the coroner pulled the cloth off his face.He was covered in scars, and stitches, and looked like a corpse.And, the moment I saw his face, I felt nothing.Nothing at all.My heart didn't sink, and tears didn't roll down my cheeks, and no regrets or r
