THE MAFIA KING'S TRAP. Thirty four
BREA POV I was so going to lose. I could almost feel it, but I had to prove him wrong. Needed to just hold on for five minutes. I could do that. It shouldn't be that difficult to resist him right? Right? Nicolai's expression tightened as he dipped a brow. Tilting his head to the side, he hooked his fingers into the top of my shirt and then tore them down in one go, just like the last time.The rough action burned my skin, leaving me exposed. Every movement from Nicolai stirred the air around, making me feel hot in the chilly room. I tried to calm down, tried to regulate my breathing. If I was all worked up when he hadn't even started touching me, what was going to happen when he did? Nicolai’s wide and cool palm landed on the center of my chest right against my heart, and he stilled, listening to its beating.His left hand framed my head. His thumb brushed over the pulsing veins on my forehead and temple, then drifted lengthways down my cheekbone and crawled over the soft swells o

BREA POV The sound of a phone buzzing insistently reached my hearing and I blinked my eyes open and slowly came back to reality. I was lying on my side with Nicolai wrapped around me from behind. And the memory of the previous night came to my mind unbidden. I ached everywhere and the bite he’d left on my neck throbbed in time with my heartbeat, yet all I felt was contentment. Which was odd. I wasn't even mad I lost. Just like before, all I felt was relief. Now he could have me and I could pretend to bitch. But he would know. He always knew. I could feel his heartbeat syncing with mine and vibrating through my back. It was soothing. And I felt safe. The thought had me tensing. Nicolai made me feel safe. I didn't want to believe it but everything seems to point in that direction. I already trusted him, and even though I knew he could cut me up with a knife or choke me to death in the heat of the moment, I'd surrendered to his desires without feeling endangered. Not even once.

BREA POVRyder yanked me through the gardens, his grip on my wrist merciless. A little gate at the back that I was sure was locked when Nicolai had let me survey the house was wide open and it led into the woods. All the guards were probably trying to stop whoever the attackers were because there was no one guarding them. The night was still a fucking maze to me. I'd been sleeping contentedly and now I was living a freaking nightmare. Shot rang out, explosions rocking the very ground we ran on. The gravel beneath my feet dug in making me wince, and I ached all over from the stress my body had been through, but Ryder kept pulling me to match his pace, completely oblivious to my discomfort. There had been so much blood when Ryder had dragged me out of my room. The men stationed in the hallway had all been shot, and severely too, so how was Ryder even alive and dragging me through the woods? I tried to pry his hold off but he was relentless and the farther we ran, the more my heart le

NICOLAI POVThe air tonight felt strange. Was it because I was away from Brea, or because there was something exhilarating about to happen, or maybe it was just the way the men that sat around me were staring at me? The vultures. I could see their hate for me glowing in their eyes. I wondered what they came up with now, why they had called for an urgent meeting.The silence was aggravating, and as it stretched, I felt my temper slowly ticking. I could think of a thousand things I'd rather do than be sitting with people like Klaus, Hagil, Askari, and Yahid. "You killed Xavier Genovese and sent his body parts around, then you took over his territory" Klaus started grimly. He was always the first to speak at this type of meeting and most of the time I fantasized about carving the skin off his face. I wanted to see the skull beneath all that wrinkly ugly skin... It might even be the perfect look for him."Xavier had connections. You do not know how many feathers you have ruffled just by
THE MAFIA KING'S TRAP. Thirty eight
NICOLAI POV Fire burned around me, heating the air, but the heat of anger that pierced through my veins was fiercer. All I saw was red, and the blood of the men I'd spilled clung onto me, dripping down to the floor as I walked up the stairs toward the one room that truly mattered. Bodies lay strewn everywhere, most of them the invading soldiers. They had attacked my mansion knowing fully well that they were all going to die. But why?Was it the Angrav? Did they plan the attack, because the Black organization had tipped them off I would not be around... But the tattoos on most of those men had been familiar... They were Xavier's soldiers. The soldiers I'd told Vicente to get rid of. I strode towards the hall where I'd kept Brea, and seeing the dead men that littered my path made the rage that poisoned my blood spread. I'd assigned them to keep her safe and here they were, lying dead on the floor. If Brea was dead... I paused, refusing to accept it. She couldn't be. I wasn't done wit

LUCAS POV Brea was still unconscious, yet watching her sleep still made me feel giddy. It was a thrill to have so easily acquired something I knew Nicolai would kill for. I felt fucking powerful. Ryder had been a good puppet till the very end, and I was sure Nicolai was going to have him killed, especially when he saw that he'd been the one to get Brea out of her room.The soldiers I had were all dead, but it was all part of the sacrifice for a greater cause. They were all aware that infiltrating the mansion would lead to a massacre, but the promise I'd made to take care of their families and their quest for revenge for the death of Xavier was all the push they needed to risk their necks.They had created a diversion and I'd been able to get out of the mansion undetected. Not that I planned to keep any of the promises I made tho, but I was sure they wouldn't feel bad, after all, dead men can not hurt. The thought made my grin stretch wider. Everything turned out just the way I plan
THE MAFIA KING'S TRAP. Forty
BREA POV.I was counting the seconds and every noise I heard made the hope in my chest flare to life, that Nicolai had come to rescue me, but it was always Lucas, and each time he came into my room, I couldn't help my blood running cold even though I feigned indifference.I knew he was going to snap soon. All his words had been to disarm me but he was foolish if he thought that I believed any of it.Love. I doubt he even knew what the word meant. The way he watched me though, I knew he wanted me, and that scared me. I didn't want him to touch me. Waking up to his hand grazing my thigh had made my skin crawl so bad, I wanted to cut my freaking flesh off. He was trying to act kind, but I knew how ugly he could get, how evil he truly was.Thinking about how he'd touched me- like he had a right to- made me see red, and if I'd had a weapon, he would have been dead in the blink of an eye, and it would be because of his nasty wondering hands. Just like Nicolai, Lucas was unpredictable, and

LUCAS POV."You'll always be the one in the background, unseen and useless because you do not matter! Her words rang in my head even as I walked out of the room. She was playing with fire and she didn't even know it. She thought she had hurt me... she did hurt me, judging by the twisted way I felt. I wanted to smash something up so bad, I shook with it. She was lucky I was choosing to walk away because I knew if I stayed, I was going to do something crazy like put a bullet in her head and watch those defiant eyes of hers that swirled with different shades of bright vivid colors close forever.I had been kind and patient with her when all I'd really wanted to do was to use her until every twisted fantasy I had of her in my head was sated, yet she'd chosen to turn a blind eye to everything.Even when I told her the truth about my childhood so that she could see what sought of monster Nicolai truly was and how he didn't deserve anyone's love.He'd hurt her and yet, she was still holding

BREA POV The hall got so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. A little hole appeared in front of Angrav's neck and I watched as red blossomed from it, and then a spray of blood hit me in the face before the man dropped to the floor. Zeus and Ryder stared shock-shelled, their jaw almost touching the floor. Then Ryder screamed, rushing towards me and brandishing a knife. Another shot swished through the air and I watched him crumble to the floor, screaming in agony as blood dripped down his thigh. "Fuck! Fuck!" He cried, then pulled out a tab and started pressing on it repeatedly. "Don't bother doing that Ryder, there is no one coming to save you. The Angrav clan is no more since your leader is dead. This house is under new management now" I smirked, taking in the horrified look on Ryder's face. I cocked my head at Zeus and watched in delight as he trembled. It wasn't from fear but rage, but there was nothing he could do about the situation. I bet he wasn't that dumb to figure out t

BREA POV.I gasped as Angrav's nails dug into my chin, and then glared into his ugly-looking face."Hmm, such a fierce look. I can see why Nicolai wants you so much" he said, turning my face from side to side before letting go.My chin itched from the pressure, but my hand was bound at the back of the chair I was sitting on, so I couldn't scratch it off. Ryder stood pressed to the wall, watching me with no expression on his face. He still looked the same, except he was missing some fingers and his hair had grown longer. I met his gaze and he frowned, murderous intent swirling in his eyes. So he wasn't sorry for what he did? I came to a decision. I was going to cut his fucking arm off when all this was over. He'd injected me with those same hands and delivered me to Lucas anyway, so it was only fair for me to return the favor.A big screen stood in front of me, and that was the only thing that occupied the space we were in. Were they planning on showing me something? I didn't know h

NICOLAI POVBrea was right, there was something fishy about the whole thing with the Angrav, hence why I was secretly making a plan B.I wasn't going to let them hurt her, but I also needed to wipe them out for good, or take over the territory because if I left them unchecked, they were only going to keep trying to obliterate me. I didn't even understand what Angrav's deal or obsession with the death of Xavier Genovese was. Had they been lovers, if they were, it would explain a lot. I would never stop seeking vengeance if anyone touched the hair on Brea's head, or put a bruise on her skin. But If I didn't put Angrav in his place, others like him will grow balls and they would try to challenge my authority, and in this fucking business, reputation was everything.I was already being disrespected anyway, and all because I chose to play nice for once. Zeus being an example... I should have just killed him earlier, but stalking my prey and instilling fear in them worked just fine to kee

BREA POVThe gym was packed, and as I took out my frustration on the punching bag I couldn't help but glance at Zeus at the opposite corner.He'd been a fucking spy, and he'd tried to seduce me... Was that all part of their plan? What would he have accomplished by getting me to fall in love with him?No wonder he'd been so cocky when I told him that Nicolai was going to kill him if he didn't leave me alone.I could still remember his words from that day. "You underestimate me Brea, but don't worry, I am going to make sure that that doesn't happen. I won't allow Nicolai to hurt you anymore" he had uttered, fire burning in the depth of his gaze. I should have seen then that he wasn't ordinary, especially since everyone revered Nicolai. Then there was Ryder who was now on my kill list. The manipulative son of a bitch was going to die at my hand, I swore it.He'd betrayed me to Lucas and now he was trying to sell me off to the Angrav's.There was only so much I could take before I snapp

NICOLAI POV"So this is all a big conspiracy" I mused, scoffing, my hand clenching the phone I held to my ear.I glanced back at Brea who still had her eyes closed with her mouth slightly parted, soft air escaping her lips as her chest rose and fell. She was so cute, it tugged painfully at my heart.The blanket half covered her and I could see the marks I'd left on her skin, gleaming as the lights from the lamp cast its glow over her. She was perfect, just like I'd known she would be.She'd told me she loved me, and it had caught me by surprise, because how could she love me after everything I did to her, but someone she did, even though she knew I was a monster?Brea had put her trust In me and even though I was a maniac, my brain always firing off and trying to deviate from the normal norms, I was going to keep her trust, I was going to protect her, and I was going to give her anything she wanted.I haven't seen her smile in a while and on a normal day, it wouldn't have mattered, ju

ZEUS POVHer rejection shouldn't have hurt, especially since it was something that I had anticipated, but it did, and I did not like the dark feeling it evoked In my chest. I wanted to fucking smash something, but the gadget in the house I stood in was freaking expensive and I didn't want to be indebted more than I already was to my piece of shit older brother. Brea was a victim in all this mess and Nicolai Fernandez was the fucking bastard who didn't deserve her. He was a psychopath anyway and Brea should know better. He was only going to hurt her in the end.I dragged my hand through my hair, sighing in exasperation. For all of my life, I never thought that I would get involved in my brother's plot for revenge, but after the death of Xavier, and the attack of Nicolai against his syndicate, he'd been voracious for it and had come to me seeking for my help. I'd refused at first since I wanted to do nothing with the syndicate, but Angrav knew some things about me that could land me in

BREA POV His words raised goosebumps on my skin and I am so disoriented by the sudden, power shift that I don't even fight back as he took my wrists and cuffed them to the bed.I swallowed hard as he yanked the bathrobe off my shoulders, almost ripping the material in half with the force he used. And then he did rip it, the tear ringing like a Canon in my ears. I gasped, shutting my eyes for a second as I burned up from the adrenaline coursing through my naked skin. I tried to wriggle away from him, but he put a stop to my movement as he straddled my thighs, holding me in place, his capable hands cupping my ass. His touch fucking scalded my skin and a harsh breath punched out of my lungs."What the hell do you think you are doing" I managed to get out, licking my lips nervously."Reminding you who you belong to" he growled, then yanked my hips back to get himself in a better position, holding me still with his dominant hands.“Relax, Brea,” he whispered, leaning forward to press a

BREA POVSomeone was watching me and I could tell who it was even though I was still asleep. I jumped from the bed, my eyes flying open and blinking rapidly in the darkened room. I hit the light switch, trying to regulate my panic-induced breathing.I was alone, but there was a gut feeling that told me I wasn't. I dragged my hand through my hair, exhaling tiredly. Last night had been draining, maybe that was why I was feeling paranoid. I'd forced myself to go out with the rest of the crew... Andre had been really excited about the win, and the proud way he'd announced me to the rest of the crew had made me feel all warm and floaty inside. It was good to win, and as we all had fun, I'd been able to forget about Nicolai and Zeus for a while. Zeus literally disappeared after our encounter in the changing room, and Melissa recalled him saying he was going home to crash.Well, that was all over now. He was going to stay away and I was going to make sure of it. Nicolai on the other hand
THE MAFIA KING'S TRAP. Fifty two
BREA POVMy body was wound up tight like a rubber band and I couldn't bring myself to move as I gaped at the spot that Nicolai had occupied just some seconds ago. The ghost of his finger against my throat still lingered and my lips throbbed, the feel of the harsh way he'd kissed me ingrained into my memory for good.I counted my heartbeat as it ricochet beneath my ribs. I couldn't breathe or gather my thoughts, especially not when my body fucking burned like I'd been lit afire.My head felt fuzzy as I dragged my fingers against my swollen lips, then down my throat, my eyes slipping close as I tried to relieve his touch.A door slammed outside and I jerked, my eyes flying open as my heart rate increased, almost to the point that it fucking hurt.What the hell are you doing Brea? I asked myself, dragging my hand through my hair and wincing from the dark bruises that littered my torso from the fight earlier.Nicolai was back, and contrary to what I thought, he hadn't forgotten about me
