Make sure you tell your father everything you've been up to. Every single thing. I replayed my parting words to Isabella in my head, over and over again, even hours after she'd left the mansion. I'd expected a quick comeback from her immediately, but when I got none and a clear view of her backside as she slowly descended the stairs that fed to the compound, I wasn't quite sure if I felt disappointed or just indifferent. However, one thing was for sure, whatever it was, it didn't matter. Not one bit. I stood iat the center of the vast lobby that had stairs both ways, upwards and downwards and even sideways too. With my hands resting on the wooden banisters, I had quite a good view of the entire lobby and living room, alongside its adjoining rooms. As I scoured the place and allowed my gaze to dance atop and around every piece of furniture I could find, I felt disgust bubble up to the surface of my skin. When I'd requested for the papers to the mansion from tio Carlo, I'd kept my m

I'd been quiet for close to thirty minutes now but I could bet on my life that my plan wasn't working. Not one bit. When I'd first thought of it, it sounded like the perfect idea. But now, as I gazed at the angry faces of papa and Antonio, it looked like I'd actually only gotten into more trouble. As for Luigi and Dante, well, we were about to find out. “Isabella?” Antonio growled. He'd been quiet the longest and that usually wasn't a good sign. He was bubbly and all fun, but whenever he went mute, that's when you had to worry. Right now, I was hoping that theory didn't apply to me. “ We're waiting.”“I. Uh.” I paused. I had no idea what I wanted to say. I could lie, but I would get caught. Everyone in my family knew I was a terrible liar. One time, I even doubted I was a part of the Cosa nostra, because even though they stood on the hill that loyalty was one of the most important virtues, they had some unspoken rules. Unspoken rules that involved lying or doing literal

How my life or the circumstances in my life always spun around to translate into something more deadlier than the last was something I would never understand. It had never been like this, but the moment I bumped into Alessandro, everything started going downhill. It was like the man was a literal bottle of walking bad luck, a sinfully hot walking bottle of bad luck that I just had to mess with at the strip club. How was I supposed to know?! I'd encountered much more douchebags like him in the past and that was usually the best way to treat people like him. If I had known, maybe I would have taken the easy way out. Or not. Even though I'd sworn to keep the details of that night as far away from my mind as possible, I just couldn't totally forget it, no matter how hard I tried. There was something about him, his aura and how stuck up he was on insisting I stripped for him. Who did he think he was that all he had to do was speak and I would listen? To me, he wasn't that powerful and

I stole a quick glance at the door one more time. I couldn't count the number of times I'd glanced in that direction, but I wouldn't be exaggerating if I zeroed down the number to at least a hundred times in the last minute. My heart hammered in my chest and with each breath I took, it seemed to fuel the whole thing. Was I supposed to stop breathing? Maybe that would help? No. Nothing could calm my thumping heart, even I knew it. Not when I knew what was at stake. I stole one more glance at the door and almost regretted it immediately. For a split second, my eyes wandered to the window, where Alessandro's men stood still and waiting. I felt my heart pick up its pace again, even faster than the last time and I wondered just what it would look like if it just happened to tear right through my skin.I allowed my thoughts to run wild as my imagination did it's thing. I closed my eyes, just to come face to face with my heart sprawled on the floor, the vital organ gurgling out and sp

I sucked in mouthfuls of air the moment I slammed the backdoor shut. If anything, I was going to need as much air and energy if I was trying to pull off this little stunt of mine successfully. And by successfully I meant without papa, Antonio or any of Alessandro's men finding out. And now, the more I thought about it, the more impossible it sounded. Please help me, Lord. “ Sis Isabella….” I whirled around immediately to the direction my name came from. With my heart pounding heavily in my chest, it took me a while to realize it was Leo, who was standing on the other side of the door and peeping through the kitchen. “Are you okay?”“Yes, yes.” I let out in a high pitched tone. My hand grazed my chest, as I hoped the little gesture would calm my thumping heart. It didn't. “ I'm fine. You just scared me.”“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.” I found myself melting at his apology. “I didn't mean to scare you.”“It's okay.” I mumbled as I was already feeling slightly better. “It's okay…”

I groaned out loud as I startled awake. The moment my eyes popped open, I regretted it Immediately. Blinding white light seared into my eyeballs, forcing me to snap them shut. Even under the blanket of my eyelids, I could still feel the harsh rays of the light, threatening to dry up my eyes. What the hell was going on?I pressed my eyes shut and tighter over each other, hoping the little gesture would help in taking away the pain. If you wanted to get rid of pain, the best thing to do would be to introduce another pain, right?I hoped so. Eventually, I peeled my eyes open again, but this time with less vigour than the last time. My eyes watered and I blinked back tears. Even as I batted my eyelids up and down, it didn't help reduce the slimy liquid that escaped my eye sockets and slipped down my cheeks. “What the..” the rest of the words hung in the air as a strip of pain pressed into my arm. Confused, I turned my head to its limit as I tried to get a good look of what was go

The night was dark, with only the gentle light from the moon shedding and casting its warm glow over the earth. Stars littered the night sky, and against the pitch black backdrop of it all, the scene above looked nothing short of a beautiful painting. The sound of leaves crunching underneath someone's feet cut straight through my thoughts. Immediately, I turned to the side, and standing a couple of feet away from me, was a black wolf, tall and mighty with its beady eyes staring down at me. A couple of moments passed as we both stared at each other, none of us daring to move. Something swirled in the pit of my stomach and before I could make sense of all that was happening, I found myself transforming back into my human form. My fear heightened when I realized whoever it was, was still in its wolf form. I didn't have to think too much because I'd barely mumbled the rest of the questions, before the wolf morphed into his human form, and the moment he did, a huge smile made its wa

I gently pushed the door to my bedroom shut. When a small click reached my ears, I heaved a sigh of relief. I had no idea why I'd just done that. Mum was probably halfway to slumber town now, so why was I so worried that I would have woken her?I sighed again, before gently clasping my hands together. A slight tremble rocked my fingers, but I kept them together, going they would stop soon.Luckily for me, it didn't last long. The moment I witnessed the last of it, I headed to my study desk in the corner of the room and pulled out my books. I had a test in the morning, and AP Chemistry, isn't something you just waltz through with an empty brain. I knew there was trouble the moment I read the first line and was unable to grasp anything. After trying for the second and third time, and still nothing had changed, I just knew I was cooked. There was no way I could focus on studying, not when there was something on my mind. No, not something. Someone.Zayn.No matter how many times I t

Silence filled the air, except for the tip of my fingertips drumming against the steel table in front of me. I had no idea why this man, Shadow, had gone with steel tables. Did he not have any class? I understood that he ran an underground business and was trying to keep things tough and scary, but who said the affairs of the underworld couldn't be spiced up with some class?Take for example. I was a perfect fit Or perhaps the steel table wasn't such a bad idea. Now that I thought about it, it wasn't exactly useless. Let's say Shadow's warehouse happened to get raided by a rival group right now, this steel table could actually come in handy. Just by flipping it over, it could actually give Shadow ample time to bring out his gun and attack. “Why don't you take a picture?” I let out suddenly, causing Shadow to flinch. I watched as he blinked back a couple of times, obviously trying to readjust his eyes to his surroundings again. A sly grin made its way to my face immediately a

I stood rooted in my spot, my blood boiling. I didn't even bat an eyelid when the sound of Alessandro's car driving out of the compound reached my ears. My mind whirled with a million questions and a thousand more thoughts. How dare he? How could he even do such a thing?I'd always perceived Alessandro to be a heartless and ruthless monster, but the last thing I expected was him bringing a little boy into the equation. Leo was still a little child for fucks sake!I pressed my eyes shut, and the moment the darkness engulfed me, I regretted it immediately. Leo's bruised back and face filled my vision, his wounds taunting me. I shook my head as I imagined his wails and sobs.Leo was a delicate boy, the best kid in the whole world. He didn't deserve any of that and that wasn't even the worst part. The part that made my blood boil and crack at the same time was the fact that it wasn't his fault in any way. I'd brought this up on him. Me, I did that. Strip. Alessandro's authorita

My heart leapt to my throat as the sound of something scurrying along the floorboards reached my ears. I sucked in a deep breath as I sunk deeper to the edge of the wall, my back coming in contact with the bed's fluffy headboard. As I hugged my knees, I rocked back and forth, hoping the little gesture would calm my thumping heart and calm me down a bit, even if it was in the tiniest of ways.It didn't work. It wasn't working. Not at all. Not yet. I sucked in a deep breath as I allowed my heartbeat to return to its steady pacing. I heaved a sigh when it finally stabilized. I was tired, tired of living like this. But did I have any other choice? I wasn't sure. I didn't think so. It'd been two days since I walked out on Alessandro. Tao days since I'd locked myself in my room and refused to come out, and even as time ticked by, I still wasn't sure if I regretted my decision. A frown appeared on my face at the thought of a sour memory. No matter how hard I'd tried to forget a

Fear raked through my body as my heart steadily picked up its pace. Cold chills raced up and down my spine as I stared wide eyed at the scene in front of me. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if I was cursed or something. Cursed to always find myself in situations like these. But that wasn't the part that bothered me. A little curse here and there never hurt anybody. Hell, maybe I'd even cursed myself. I did have a knack for messing around with Ouija boards and all when I was little. The part that bothered me was how I always managed to find myself in situations like these, no matter how hard I tried to avoid it. After Dagger had dropped the bombshell and given me an ultimatum, I was stumped. I went blank. He couldn't get my attention until he poked me with something. I didn't think much of it, but now that I did, I couldn't shake off the feeling he'd done something. Ejected a tracking device or chip into my body maybe, or perhaps he'd even poisoned me. The ideas were end

I watched as the blue flames lit the tip of the cigar that was tucked in between my fingers. As I pushed the flames closer to where I wanted it to be, something caught my eye. How the hell I was able to notice it was strange to me, but now that I'd seen it, I just couldn't ignore it. Just in between my fingers where the cigar sat, Red hue tainted my skin. I wasn't exactly sensitive and I barely bruised, so this was definitely a discovery. A sly smirk made its way to my lips. I didn't even have to think hard to figure out why the skin in between my fingers was pink, or better still, turning red. For the past hour, or more, I'd been replacing rolls and rolls of cigars the moment I exhausted the last one. At some point I'd lost count of how many of the smoke machines I'd inhaled, but I knew they were a lot. I was pushing myself and maybe if I didn't hold back, I would finally know my limit. If I actually had one, that is. I exhaled a huge puff of smoke, after inhaling for a coup

My mind reeled with a million and one things all ar once and I swear if I didn't find a way to stop it, I just might run mad on the spot. I'd just told them I knew Alessandro. Shit. If I was being honest, I had no clue if I'd done the right thing or not. I suspected foul play the moment I realized I wasn't Alessandro’s captive. Who else knew of my existence? Papa had taken a wide step back from indulging in businesses that were a norm in mafia families, so there was no way I could be in someone's radar. But the moment he knew I recognized Alessandro, I just knew I was in deep shit. I hated Alessandro, literally everyone did, even Antonio. But as I stared at the murderous glare my captor wore as he arranged an array of weapons I didn't recognize, I quickly came to the conclusion that there were more people that hated the man. Even more than I did. And it shocked me to the bones.Who the hell was he? Was he working alone? What was his relationship with Alessandro? And what

Chapter 82Destiny's POV I was anxious, and literally nothing I did was calming me down. Instead, the more I tried, the more I failed woefully at it too. There wasn't any technique I hadn't tried. I had tried counting to ten and back again, and even making a conscious effort at trying to regulate my breathing, but it just wasn't working. It was a surprise how Carter hadn't noticed how fidgety I was. Or maybe he had, he has just decided that he wasn't going to comment on it, and even that didn't sit right with me.My stomach churned, pulling me out of my quick monologue. Before it could let out another sound, I folded my fingers in front of my belly. I wasn't exactly sure it was going to do anything, but it was too late to try to take back what I'd just done. So instead, I fixed my gaze as I tried to remove the invisible dirt that had found their way underneath my nails. The car was silent, save for the gentle hum from the engine. The civilization that whooshed by also seemed to
