The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 54- Unwelcome Visitor
LANA'S POV"What are you doing here, Costa?" I got up from the couch and felt like I was going to hyperventilate."I came to talk to you about the DNA, Lana. You requested it, remember?" He walked towards us and stood just a little distance from me. I wished that he did not show up whenever I seemed to be happy in my life. "I know, but you have no right to show up in here whenever you want!" "Lana, it's okay," Dax tried to calm me down. "No, he needs to leave. I don't want you here, Costa." I sneered at him. “Yes, leave Costa. You are not welcome here.” Xavier stood by my side.Whether Costa was truly my father or not, I didn't want him to be in my life. The damage had already been done and nothing was ever going to make up for the fact that I lost my parents when I was young. I mourned them for years until I eventually accepted that this was how things were meant to be for me. Not all of us were meant to grow up in a cozy home with our parents, and I made peace that I was amongs
The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 55- Betrayal and Heartbreak
XAVIER'S POV"You knew Lana 12 years ago?" Dax asked me when I came down to the living room. I took a long breath. "It was at Boliver. I didn't even know it was her all this time, but I ran away that day!" It felt like the walls were closing in on me. My past had come again to tear Lana away from me. I didn't know what to do or not to do. My mind was all over the place. "Wait a minute, you went to Boliver? When and how?" Dax was shocked. He knew everything else I did, but not the incident at Boliver when I quit being a street thug with my friends. "The school trip I told you and Dad about was made up. I was going to Boliver with my friends for a job that we wanted done..."(12 YEARS AGO, XAVIER'S MEMORY)"We wait here for the people who are going to do the business transaction, everybody understand?" JJ said after briefing us about the people who were going to do a drug business transaction at the ally around sunset. We hid behind the waste bins and brainstormed how we were going t
The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 56- Article
LANA'S POVI stared at the ceiling while I lay on the bed. I wanted to feel numb and not shed a tear after everything that happened. The thought that Xavier was there the day my life changed forever, broke me more than I had imagined. I loved him but wanted to hate him at the same time, but I couldn't.I wanted to hate him and feel nothing for him anymore. He seemed to be everything that I was not supposed to fall in love with. Perhaps this was another sign from the universe that we were not meant to be. As much as I loved him and my heart broke when I imagined him not with me, I had to find it in my heart to let him go. "Lana?" Dax knocked on the door again. The desperation in his voice to see me open the door was evident. But I hesitated, I didn't want to cry when I saw his face. "I want to be alone, Dax!" I yelled loud enough for him to hear from the other side of the door. "Please open the door..." He continued to beg. I sighed and got off the bed and went to the door. I opene
The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 57- Boliver Invasion
XAVIER’S POVCosta and I met the following day and drove to Boliver to find JJ and Milo. His source from Boliver confirmed that they were still around there and had made a great name for themselves. We had to be very careful when going to deal with such men. But we had all the back up we needed. Costa’s men were on their way behind us to make sure that we were not easily outnumbered if things were to go otherwise.JJ was a very egoistic and temperament maniac. We had to be very careful when going to deal with someone like him, even though Costa insisted that JJ was the one who had to be careful when dealing with him, especially when it came to his daughter. And that was no doubt. Costa had a reputation of killing his enemies without a second thought. People knew that even though all evidence was available to put him behind bars, he was untouchable even by law.But just like JJ, Boliver was his playground and no law ruled there against him. And now, we were going to his den to provoke
The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 58- Lost
LANA'S POV"Lana, you need to call me back. This is bad." "Lana, I know you're there. Call me back.""I know you're probably feeling embarrassed, but all your remaining online drawings have sold out. All of them. There is always a silver lining in every situation, Lana. Don't give up yet.""Call me, we need to talk." After listening to Mrs. McClain's voice messages, I switched off my phone and tossed it on the passenger seat. I knew that if I tried to call her, she was going to try with everything in her to talk me out of running away instead of staying. I didn't want her to try and make me feel better when she knew too that my life was over. I wanted to drive until I ran out of gas and found myself in a place that I couldn't recognize and no one could recognize me. I wanted to be alone. I wanted those walls that came down when I met Dax and Xavier to build up again and keep me from pain. I wanted to feel nothing and be completely oblivious to the direction that my life was facing.
The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 59- Looking For Lana
DAX’S POVWhen I woke up and realized that Lana was not in bed, I got up and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. I was certain that she went out for a jog or was in the kitchen having breakfast. Either way, I was impatient to see her and wrap my arms around her. I wanted her to know that I was here for her and was not going to leave her side, no matter what happened in the past. I wanted her to trust me enough to not hide anything that bothers her from me again.When I was done, I went back to the bedroom and put on comfortable clothes. I picked up my phone and called Xavier. I needed to make sure that he was all right too and did not find himself in another trouble again because he was stressed out. I hated to see him and Lana not speaking to each other again. I knew that that they loved each other, and that this was going to affect them in some ways, which was not going to be beneficial for any of us. I hoped again that they could find their way back to each oth
The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 60- A Friend
XAVIER’S POVWhen I lifted my head and saw that Costa was dead, I went to his side to make sure, and he was truly dead. JJ didn’t miss but shot him right through his heart and he died instantly. I took my cell phone from my pocket and switched it back on so that I can call Dax. There were still gunshots outside, so I needed a plan before I could head out to leave.“Xavier?”“Costa is dead.”“What do you mean he’s dead?”“I came with him to Boliver. JJ just shot him and ran away,” I went to the door and opened it slightly so that I could see what was going on.“Send me your location, I’ll come and get you.”Dax then hung up the call and I returned my cell phone into my pocket. I then went to Costa’s body and took his cell phone, gun, and other belongings I found with him, except his clothes. I then sneaked out of JJ’s office as quietly as I could. Costa’s men and JJ’s men were shooting at each other down the stairs and I went towards the hallway to see if there was no other way leading
The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 61- Lana's Lead
DAX’S POVAfter arguing about whose fault, it was that Lana decided to leave, I roared the engine to life and drove back to Highwaters. The ride home was quiet and there was a thick tension in the air. It was dark and we had a stranger at the back seat that Xavier hadn’t introduced to me yet. There was no telling if this new friend of his could turn and stab us in the back.“What’s his name?” I decided to ask.“His name is Rico and he’s my old friend,” Xavier answered while he looked away from me.“Are you mad because of Sasha?”“You should have killed the bitch!” He snapped.“Why is killing your first instinct solution?”“Because at least half the problems get solved, Dax! The article and the video wouldn’t have been released on the internet if she was dead!”“Enough, Xavier!” I stopped the car in the middle of the road. “Killing is not a solution, and I wouldn’t have killed Sasha to prove a point!”“You should have,” he answered.I rolled my eyes and started driving again. After an

The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers Epilogue
OCTOBER 2022LANA'S POVThe next morning, I woke up from my cell phone ringing inside my bag. I got up and took it out of the handbag and answered it. "Hello?""Is this Amalah James?" I hesitated for a second, closed my eyes, and exhaled. "Yes?""You're talking with Din Flemmings, I am Paolo Costa's lawyer. I am calling regarding your father's estate." "Oh." I sat down on the couch in the bedroom and looked at Dax and Xavier as they got up and looked at me with confused expressions on their faces. It was a bit weird that Costa already listed me as one of the beneficiaries of his estate when we only reunited shortly before his death. "Can I come and see you to talk in person, Miss James?" "Oh, I'm- That will be okay, I guess." I was hesitant."Perfect. You can send a location of your choosing," Din replied enthusiastically. "I will send you my house address," I answered. "That will be perfect. I hope to see you soon."I hung up the call and felt like there was a big lump in my
The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 72- Proposal
LANA'S POVI rushed out of the house and went to my car, and when I got inside, I cried against the steering wheel. I wanted to feel nothing when I saw JJ and killed him, but the thought that his blood was on my hands, tortured me. Dax couldn't even help without making me feel worse than I already felt. I sniffled and lifted my head off the steering wheel, pushed the key inside the ignition, and drove away. I went straight to the nearest bar that I could find. I ordered five shots of vodka and gulped them as if they didn't make me feel as if my tongue was being burned. I wanted to forget everything that happened and wake up to a whole new chapter of my life. I was tired of how miserable I felt every day since I lost my parents. I needed a break..."Lana, we need to go home." A familiar voice spoke as I felt a hand tap on my shoulder. My head was heavy as I lifted my head from the table and looked at the person. "Dax?" "Can we go home?""I don't want to go home. I don't want to go
The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 71- JJ's Demise
DAX'S POV "She's been sitting in that exact position on the couch for hours now. She refuses to eat anything or even drink anything. I don't know what we should do," I vented to Xavier as we watched Lana from the upstairs balcony. "JJ is in the garage, so maybe she should see him before I kill him." Xavier's response sounded as if he didn't think before talking. I quickly turned and looked at him and whispered. "Are you insane? She doesn't need to see that asshole after what he did to her, again." "It's the only way to get her out of the current state that she's in. She must face him," he still insisted. "No, Xavier. That's a stupid idea and it's not happening," I stood my ground. "Where is he?" We looked down when we heard Lana's voice. Xavier took the opportunity to give me a 'I told you so' look and I frowned. I took a deep breath and headed down the stairs to Lana. "You need to get something to eat and rest," I said when I got to her side. I wanted to see JJ pay for eve
The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 70- Breaking In
XAVIER'S POVI kept counting the minutes that Lana was inside Suzy's apartment. I wondered if she remembered that we had to be somewhere and did not have time to waste here. I frowned because I saw this from a mile away, and if they had both listened to me, Dax and I wouldn't have found ourselves in this awkward situation. "We have to go in." I was infuriated and Rico was not even close to finding that asshole JJ. He was nowhere to be found and his bodyguards were back at Boliver, which was very unlikely that JJ could go anywhere without them."She's only been there for ten minutes, Xavier. Just calm down," Dax replied in a very relaxed tone. "She's been with her forever, Dax." "Can you trust her for a minute and give at least five more minutes? Suzy is her best friend, remember?""Fine," I huffed and dialed Rico's number. "Tell me you got some clues about where he could be," I said as soon as he picked up the phone. "He didn't leave Highwaters.""Are you sure he didn't go back t
The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 69- Deja Vu
LANA'S POVTo figure out where exactly we could find JJ, I started off by calling Suzy before Xavier's friend could help in finding him. We were in town and just around the corner from Suzy's apartment when I called her. Dax and Xavier were looking at me and trying to signal to me that I had to act as natural as possible so that she would not be suspicious of my call if she was with JJ. "Hey, Suzy. Are you home?""Yes, I am. What happened yesterday? You just left without saying a word to me or even picking up my calls when I called you. Did anything happen when you went to the toilet?"I was relieved when I heard that she was not convinced that I ran away because I saw her with JJ. "Yeah, I'm - I met an old friend in there and I was trying to get to her, but I already lost sight of her.""You could have said so, Lana. I was so worried about you. Where are you right now?"I looked at Dax and Xavier and stuttered. "I - I am at home. With Xavier and Dax."Suzy suddenly started crying on
The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 68- Sultry
LANA'S POVThe next morning, I woke up next to Xavier staring at me."Good morning," he smiled and kissed my forehead."Good morning baby," I looked at him and suspected that he might have been waiting for me to wake up so that we'd carry on where we left off last night. "You good?" "I'm good baby, and I slept like a baby. How are you feeling?" I got up and tied up my hair into a bun so that I'd prepare to take a shower."I'm good. I was watching you to make sure that you didn't run off on me."I looked at him and laughed. "You're unbelievable! Oh my gosh!" I took my pillow and threw it at him and got off the bed and dressed up so that I'd head out to the bathroom that was outside. He chuckled and got off the bed too. "Can I come with you?""Do you want to?" I looked at him and smirked while my hand was already at the doorknob. "Are you daring me?" He smirked and stood up with his dick hard as a rock.I couldn't help it but blush. "I dare you."I quickly turned the doorknob but bu
The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 67- Evocation
LANA'S POV As soon as I roared the engine to life and drove off, Suzy tried to call me but I didn't pick up. If I knew her 'Jay' was 'JJ', I would have tried to tell her why she was not supposed to be with him. And now that I had a picture of him sleeping with her in my mind, I felt like I was losing it. The very thought of his tongue on her repulsed me and I could not wait to get home and get Dax and Xavier to do something about this. "Lana, are you all right?" Xavier asked me when he saw me walking inside the living room. He was sitting on the couch with Dax, and it looked like they were having lunch."I saw JJ," I walked towards them. "What?" Dax exclaimed and got up from the couch. "He's Suzy's boyfriend, can you believe it?" I answered them, still unable to get the picture of them together off my mind. "I should have known when Suzy told me her boyfriend's name was Jay."It was as if I was there every time they made love and made each other cum. I wondered if he felt as good
The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 66- Girl's Day Out
SEPTEMBER 2022LANA'S POVSuzy and I finally had our lunch date. She was so happy when she saw me and we ordered our favorite food in our favorite lunch spot. It was everything that I wanted to do for months, but couldn't because I didn't know how to face her and continue lying on her face. She was the only person I was close to except Dax and Xavier. It made me happy to finally be able to be myself around her and not hide anything from her. It bothered me for months that I couldn't tell her about Dax and Xavier and the contract. "How are the brothers?" She winked. I giggled while trying to get a spoonful of my mashed potato gravy. "They are good boys.""I still wonder how it's like having two men all to yourself. You must tell me what it's like, Lana." "How about I leave you to wonder?" I laughed."No way, you will do no such thing! You must tell me about the sex!"I almost choked on my drink but I quickly had it under control and laughed. "Suzy, will you stop?"She leaned forwar
The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 65- Back To Square One
LANA'S POVAngry, I picked up my phone and called Xavier after ending the call with Costa's lawyer. It was no coincidence that Xavier sent me a voice message about how he wants me to know that he loves me in case he didn't make it. He was with Costa when he died, and I needed to know what happened."Lana?" He answered."What happened to Costa? I know that you were with him."He was quiet for a moment before he answered. "So, you know?""I know. Why didn't you tell me?" "Because it wasn't the right time to tell you that, Lana." "He was my father, Xavier. You don't have any right to decide when I should know about his death.""I understand, Lana. But I didn't want to tell you before you got out of the clinic.""That's no excuse, and you know it. Now, tell me what happened."He sighed. "Lana, we both need our rest.""Should I ask Dax?""Fine. JJ shot him, the guy who -""The guy who raped me, I know his name. So, he killed him?""Yes, but I will find him, I promise." "oh, he killed hi
