Liam's POVI sat in my office staring at nothing in particular. I miss Alice. She has grown on me with the few days we spent together.I was a bit sad when I learned that she left for Russia that morning. I just want to have her to myself.I know she has a lot of work to do but I wish she was beside me instead.And fuck the way she commanded those guys to do their work was a fucking turn-on for me.I was so glad I married her. I know that no one in my Mafia will dare disrespect her.Apart from the fact that she's my wife, she is also a Don and with just that, she has earned her respect. I also have some businesses to work on. I could have asked someone to handle it but I don't trust anyone to do the job as perfectly as I would want it.Sometimes when I try to let people do it, they add more problems to the one on ground. Whenever I do dirty work, it makes me hunger more for power. I may not be perfect and as romantic as I should but sometimes I am scared that Alice would leave me.M
Liam's POVI was tired of listening to him lying, I brought out my gun swiftly and shot his daughter in the head killing her instantly.It was a smooth kill and the girl was even more deadly than her father so why waste my time keeping her alive?I watched as Sam stared in horror looking at the body of his dead daughter. He screamed and started crying but I don't fucking care. "So Sam, are you going to work for me now?" I asked him, knowing what his reaction would be. "Fuck you! You killed my daughter and now you expect me to work for you? Are you crazy?" He screamed.I just looked at him blankly and I signaled to Simone to show him the picture.His mother was in the picture and I saw his face drop immediately when he saw the picture. "I have people watching your mother, so what is it gonna be?" I asked, smirking at his helpless face.He looked at me nodding his head quickly. "Now this is what will happen, you will work as a spy for me in the FBI.You will report here weekly and if
Liam's POVWe drove to the casino and it looked so beautiful and grand. I stepped out of the car and climbed the stairs into the building.Everywhere was crowded with people and it was bursting with life. I walked straight to the bar and people moved away quickly. I don't care if they know and if they are scared of me all I wanted was to see Alice. Now I was the only one at the bar. The bartender's back was turned to me oblivious that his customers were no longer there. I tapped on the counter and he turned. When he saw me, I saw him tremble. "What can I get for you, sir?" He was trying to keep his cool but was failing miserably. I signaled with my hands for him to come closer."Where is Alice?""She's watching a fight in the private booth." I expected him to ask for her last name and I was a little bit surprised he knew who I was referring to. I guess the things I've heard about this woman are really true. Even when I mentioned her name I saw the bartender go still for a minute.
Alice's POVI don't like attending Lucas' ball. Every year, crazy things happen there. I'm not sure if I've seen Liam attend but how would I know?I never stayed for too long and even if I did, I'd just sit somewhere far away from everyone.ucas. Since Liam is here I know there is no way to escape. I didn't want to attend this year because I don't want to waste my time over mundane things.Lucas is my very good friend and if there is anything I love about him, it's the fact that he is a very loyal person. It took a while for me to warm up to him but over the years, he has proven himself. He's actually a very sweet guy but he just likes to yell a lot. Seeing the look on my face, he knew he had won. His smile was wide and couldn't stop gloating. "So the both of you will be attending!" He continued drinking the champagne. He drank all the champagne, even the one he bought for us. I didn't say anything because I wanted to be careful with my words. Even I, I'm not sure about the words
Alice's POV Silver didn't approve of what I was about to do but she trusted and believed that I would do well. I took a hair band from my pocket and tied my hair in a bun. I cracked my neck and entered the ring. I was immediately met with a disgusting smell coming from Blackmower. Damn! He stinks a lot. I was irritated at his sight. He wore a very short trunk that clung to his body like a second skin. His muscles were fake and it was pretty obvious that he was on steroids. I have never respected this guy but I have never interfered with his fight before. He was too useless for me to waste my precious time on. "Hey stupid shit, come on, let's get this over with," I said, still standing where I was. I watched him seeth and bounce around in anger, beating his chest like a gorilla. Thinking of it, he doesn't even look different from one. I grimaced when I saw that his shorts had already burst just above his short rod. What a disgusting sight to see. He tried to come at me but t
Alice's PovI walked to my seat and sat down. Silver was on me trying to clean the blood on my lip but I waved her away. She wasn't pleased about it but she left me alone.I looked at Liam just to see him still staring at me. "So did you enjoy the fight?" I asked him."Oh, I did. I knew you were a bitch but that was on another level. He said smirking devilishly.I smiled as I heard what he said. I was about to reply to him when I heard a familiar voice. "Вот это ты устроил шоу. Давно не виделись, умник". ("That was a show you did right there. Long time no see, smart mouth.") I heard Alek say as he entered the room. I smiled as I heard him.It has been a long time since I last saw him. I turned to look at him. He was wearing a very big t-shirt with baggy trousers. I stood up to greet him.We hugged each other and I led him to where Liam and I were seated. Alek owns Kazino Sochi.He was able to acquire it during a bet. It was crazy and the owner of the casino wasn't able to find his fe
Liam's POV Immediately entered the room, I placed my head on the door and smiled. I don't know why I kissed her cheeks but I love the feel of that. I love the way she smelled and I soft it was. I need to know how she'd taste when I kissed her properly. Even though I kissed her on our wedding day, I really want to take my time and just feel her lips on mine. She seemed to be like an addiction I didn't want to cure. I replayed the moment over and over, trying to make sense of what had just happened. I had never been so captivated by someone's body before, and I didn't know what to do with the intense desire that was coursing through me. I tried to distract myself by taking a shower, but even the cool water couldn't quell the heat that was burning inside me. As I got dressed, Simone knocked on the door and entered the room, smirking at my disheveled appearance. "Looks like you had a good time," Simone said, a hint of teasing in his voice. I glared at him, feeling annoyed at t
After two days of feeling unwell, I finally began to recover. Although my body still felt a bit weak, I was relieved that I was no longer irritable and short-tempered like I was during my illness.I had a lot of work to do, but at least I could face the day with a clearer mind.As I trudged to my walk-in wardrobe, I heard a knock on the door. I paused, wondering who could be visiting me so early in the morning.Without waiting for my response, Liam entered my room without permission. I couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed at his intrusion, but as soon as I saw him, all annoyance faded away.Liam looked incredibly dashing in his white shirt and dark pants. The contrast between the white and dark colors made him look more striking than usual.I couldn't help but stare at him for a moment, admiring his confident demeanor and charming smile.Suddenly, Liam spoke up. "How are you feeling?" he asked with a gentle tone, interrupting my thoughts. I shrugged and replied, "I'm feeling better."
Alice's POVI sat outside on the patio, enjoying the cool breeze that rustled through the trees. The sun painted the sky in hues of orange and pink as it began its descent, casting a warm glow over our home. I sighed contentedly, cherishing this moment of tranquility amid the chaos of our Mafia life.But then, a sudden sensation washed over me, and I felt a gush of warmth. Confusion gripped me momentarily until the realization dawned upon me. My water had broken. I was going into labor."Melissa! Melissa!" I called out to one of my guards, trying to keep my voice steady despite the urgency I felt. "Please, get Liam! Tell him it's time!"Melissa, ever alert and quick to respond, dashed off to fetch my husband. Panic and excitement mingled within me as I tried to collect myself. My heart pounded in my chest, and my thoughts were a whirlwind of emotions.Within moments, I heard hurried footsteps approaching, and Liam appeared, his face etched with concern. He gathered me in his arms, his
I sat in the boardroom, my back pressed against the plush chair, as boredom settled in like an unwelcome guest. The air was heavy with formality and the monotonous drone of business jargon. How I longed for something to break the monotony, a spark of excitement to ignite the dreary atmosphere.As I observed the suited executives, their faces etched with seriousness, I couldn't help but smirk to myself. They saw me as nothing more than Liam's wife, innocent and uninterested in the matters at hand. Little did they know, I had other plans for this mundane gathering.The rumors had reached my ears, whispers of Santino's involvement in shady dealings. A man so smug and self-assured, thinking he could get away with anything. Oh, how I relished the opportunity to expose his true nature, to challenge him and watch his facade crumble.Santino, sitting across the table from me, was the epitome of arrogance. His eyes glinted with a smug confidence, unaware of the storm that was about to rain dow
Three months had passed since our eventful time in Italy, and now I found myself in America, following Liam's urging to be closer to home as I approached the final stages of my pregnancy. The idea of leaving Russia had been bittersweet, but I couldn't deny that Liam's concern for my well-being was genuine.The transition to America had been smoother than expected, and Liam made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. The luxurious mansion he had prepared for us felt like a safe haven, a sanctuary where I could relax and prepare for the arrival of our child.Liam was right; I had always been a workaholic, dedicated to the responsibilities that came with being part of the Mafia family. But now, with motherhood on the horizon, my priorities had shifted. I was eager to embrace this new chapter of my life, and Liam's presence by my side only added to my sense of security and happiness.Our days were filled with laughter, shared moments, and gentle touches. Liam seemed to have an inna
As we decided to extend our stay in Italy for a couple more days, a sense of relaxation and adventure filled the air. I called Alek, informing him of recent events and assuring him that we were safe. With that weight lifted off our shoulders, we were free to immerse ourselves in the enchanting atmosphere of Italy.One of the places we explored was the breathtaking city of Florence. The city's rich history and artistic treasures beckoned us, and we found ourselves strolling hand in hand through the narrow cobblestone streets. The iconic Duomo Cathedral rose majestically before us, its intricate details and vibrant colors leaving us in awe. We stood in line, patiently waiting to enter the Uffizi Gallery, where masterpieces by renowned artists awaited our eager gaze.As we meandered through the gallery, each room revealing new artistic wonders, Liam's deep appreciation for art was evident. He studied the brushstrokes, the play of light and shadow, with genuine fascination. We engaged in
As the Mafia committee members entered the warehouse, their presence alone commanded authority. Their expressions were stern, their eyes piercing, and their voices resonated with a mixture of intimidation and determination. The Italian Don, bound and surrounded, stood before them, his defiant demeanor faltering in the face of their collective power.I watched with a mix of anticipation and apprehension as the committee began their interrogation, their questions cutting through the air like a sharpened blade. Each inquiry was calculated, designed to dismantle the Don's defenses and extract the truth.One committee member stepped forward, his voice laced with an underlying threat. "Don, your actions have endangered the delicate balance we uphold. You will find no solace in your lies. It is in your best interest to cooperate fully."The Don, visibly shaken by the committee's presence, began to realize the dire consequences of his actions. His bravado waned, and the weight of his guilt pr
My heart dashed with a blend of expectation and worry as Liam masterfully explored the roads, directing our vehicle towards the inn. We needed to regroup and get ready for what lay ahead because the evening's events had taken an unexpected turn.The familiar surroundings provided a brief respite from the earlier chaos as we entered the hotel lobby. The hotel staff quickly attended to our needs because they were aware of the urgency of our movements, as Liam's dominant presence demanded attention.We hurried to our room, the snap of our strides reverberating through the hall. The entryway opened up, uncovering the quiet sanctuary that looked for us. I looked around the room, taking in the exquisite stylistic layout and the unpretentious traces of extravagance that enhanced each corner. In the midst of the chaos all around us, the atmosphere provided a brief respite.We quickly ditched our formal wear in favor of more practical and concealed attire out of a sense of urgency. Our transfo
Alice's POV As the function came to a nearby and the praise bit by bit died down, Liam and I rose from our seats, prepared to leave from the energetic climate of the feast. However, just as we were beginning to move toward the exit, the Italian Don suddenly appeared in front of us, his expression displaying a mix of urgency and sincerity."Please, Mr. and Mrs. Salvador ," the Wear entreated, his voice conveying a dash of earnestness. " I would be honored if you could attend a private gathering with my family and me. There are significant issues I might want to examine with both of you."I traded a confounded look with Liam, vulnerability blurring our considerations. Given the boundaries that separate our organizations, the Don's decision to extend such an invitation was unusual. In any case, interest provoked inside me, blending with a feeling of mindfulness.Liam's hold fixed on my hand, his eyes fixed on the Italian Wear. " What kind of things are you talking about? And why is this
Alice's POV As the banquet got under way, the grand hall was a sight to behold. Gem light fixtures swung from the roof, projecting a warm and charming shine across the room. The air was loaded up with the agreeable tunes of a live ensemble, their music drifting through the space, adding to the mood of the night.Visitors wearing their best clothing blended nimbly, their chuckling and chat resounding in the air. The ringing of glasses and the clacking of flatware made its very own ensemble. Everyone was eagerly awaiting the arrival of the highly regarded Mafia Dons of the American and Russian Mafias.Men from various tables began to approach us as Liam and I settled into our seats, their eyes shining with admiration. However, they had a variety of motives, ranging from genuine appreciation to unwelcome advances. It was a fragile harmony among sweet talk and inconvenience.These men, captivated by my presence, made their way to our table one by one. They couldn't avoid giving me praise
Alice's POV As Liam and I showed up at the stupendous scene of the meal, the expectation in the air was tangible. We joined the line, quietly holding up to enter. There was a lot of excitement and a little bit of mystery in the air. The exquisite design of the scene made a lofty setting, projecting a majestic air over the occasion.I couldn't help but notice the lingering gazes from nearby men and women as we stood in line. Their eyes followed over me with a combination of interest and reverence, their demeanors bound with a bit of want. It was a demonstration of the charm of the event and the striking clothing that embellished me.Feeling the heaviness of those waiting gazes, I looked for comfort in Liam's presence. I was drawn closer to him as his arm encircled me in safety. His touch filled in as a safeguard against the meddlesome eyes, giving a feeling of solace and security in the midst of the ocean of outsiders.With each step in the right direction in the line, I could feel th
