The Mafia Boss Special Slave 120
Tasha began climbing the stairs to her bedroom, and once inside the room and slamming the door shut, her thoughts became more chaotic. The suffocating force of the door closing sounded even louder than it typically did in the house. She released her handbag to the ground, obviously irritated as she threw her shoes away. Decorated tastefully and lit by subtle lighting, her room was almost always pleasing, but tonight it was warm and oppressive.She stood in front of the bed, unable to rid herself of the distasteful mixture of feelings assaulting her. The moment with Fabian kept replaying in her mind, it was his pause, that politeness he insisted on keeping between them. It hurt more than she wished for it to.Tasha let her body sink into the bed, gazing blankly at the ceiling above for every possible reason, except for due to peace. It infuriated her how much she cared how much she had wished things were different, wished for anything to go beyond what it was that they had. But it was

Tasha’s frown only deepened as she folded her hands, her voice laced with irritation. “Are you planning to find Loretta by chance? Or did you just call to keep me in this mess?”With a lazy expression on his face, Julian glanced up, an irritating smile forming on his face as he pushed the girls away, shooing them off. “Tasha, darling. You are always so serious,” he said with a drawl as he sat up straight and reached for a cigarette. He took a long puff from his cigarette and continued. “Sure, I have found Loretta. But as you should know by now, everything has to be fought for. And this is why I reached out to you. I require assistance.”Her annoyance reached a boiling point, but she made sure her voice remained stable. “What? Do you want me to help you? Regarding Loretta?”Julian shrugged as if it did not matter. “Let’s just say, she compromised more than anticipated. And we better hurry, Fabian and his men are going to reach this girl first. Or… you are okay with this?”Fabien’s name

The ride was quiet; the air growing thicker as they were approaching the edge of the city. Tasha gazed out the window, feeling her thoughts drift back to Fabian. What about him? How would he react if he saw her risking her life for someone else – maybe even someone like Loretta?She couldn’t afford the luxury of those thoughts. Fabian was a burden she did not need, particularly at that moment.When they got out several blocks from the estate, Julian switched off the engine and turned to look at her. “Okay, listen up, here’s the plan. We wait for the signal, then we move in. I’ll take care of the guards at the front, and you go through the side door. We get Loretta and leave before anyone realizes what we are doing.”Tasha nodded, the blood pumping in her chest. “What if anything goes wrong?”Julian shrugged, smirking again. “There are no worries. Nothing is going wrong tonight.”But Tasha was wise enough not to place her faith in utopian schemes. The night was filled with the essence

Before long, when he got to her door, he opened it with a slightly over-the-top show as if trying to lighten the mood. ‘Ladies first,’ he said with a smile on his face, ushering her to exit.Emma chuckled and waved her hand in dismissal. “Thanks,” she said, climbing out of the car and embracing the feeling of cold air against her skin. The strangeness that had existed in their interaction was still present, but now it was somewhat alleviated by a hint of humor.She stood on the sidewalk and so did he, both of them motionless for a minute, and the same tension that had been there before was still present even after making a possible effort to ease it. ‘Anyway,’ she said, inclining her head towards him, ‘thanks for the ride, Mikel,’ she said, the silence finally succumbing to speech.“Whenever you want,” he said and stared at the building, stuffing his hands in his pockets. After a moment, he turned towards her. “I suppose… I will see you around, yeah?”Emma smiled small again and nodde

Taking a long sigh, she pressed the lock and opened the door to her apartment, stepping in. Now focused on a different problem within moments, how she will ensure Antonio attends the meeting.As Mikel left Emma's home, he remembered how they almost kissed and a smile came to his face. A heat rushed through him, and he lost the ability to control the thrill that rose within him. Without knowing what he was doing, he pressed the button that would open the window.“Yes!” he yelled to the sky on the silent street. One hand holding the steering wheel, and the other was pushed out of the car as the cool wind came in, ruffling his hair. He laughed, feeling lighter than he had felt for a long time.The evening had its fair share of embarrassing silences, quiet tension, and things left unspoken, yet the way this all unraveled at the end – the intimacy, that look in Emma’s eyes – all seemed so worthwhile. The kiss on the forehead had been an impromptu action, safe but affectionate. He had his d

As if he had been expecting her for a while, his father’s gaze was already on her when she entered the living room and found him seated in his regular chair. There was a flash of something serious in that gaze and she halted for a second.“Tasha,” he called out, his voice even and nonchalant, “what were you doing?”“Doing nothing interesting,” she said, attempting to shrug it off. Well, she had not done anything to be ashamed of, but rather, in recent days, she had been crushed by the burden that was…the reluctance of Fabian. Any thoughts regarding his impending marriage brought fear and excitement to her in equal measure.“Because of that, please remember what I was reading long ago, where have I entered into I want to know more,” Father rolled over opened the newspaper, and narrowed his eyes.Thinking of the name she mentioned, Tasha felt a pang of excitement in her chest. She composed herself and met her father's stare. “What about him?”Her father let out a heavy sigh, the tightne

He was well aware of Martinez’s expectations, a mere outline devoid of any uncertainties, which highlighted the purpose of the marriage between their two families. The merger was dependent on that marriage, the last curve of a big scheme that had existed well before he and Tasha had even been introduced to one another.Fabian rubbed the back of his head, memories of yesterday returning to the fore of his mind. He had told Tasha that he would try, that they could make it work. But now, with Martinez a hallway away awaiting his presence to finalize an agreement that would tether them both in ways they had never imagined detrimentally, he felt the ever-present enemy within, fighting to overpower him once again.Mikel had always excelled in social interactions, especially when it came to women in the workplace. Fabianski raised an eyebrow but otherwise ignored the comment. Flirting at the office was the least of his concerns given the meeting that was fast approaching, and the trouble he

Mr. Martinez bent toward them, focused. “We don’t want your lofty ideas of love, Fabian. We want dedication. You have to do it for the sake of these families, this dynasty. You have to do it. There are no feelings in this game.”Sandra did not speak but looked at Fabian as if willing him to do what she wanted him to do.Fabian felt the walls closing in again, the inflexibility of their expectations pressing strangleholds on him. He had believed a discussion with Martinez would help clear things up. But now, it felt like nothing had changed.Fabian balled his fists by his sides, feeling his heartbeat accelerate. He had always recognized this day would arrive, that the shackles of responsibilities thrust upon him since his formative years would become impossible to evade. But that surely did not make the pill easy to swallow.“You’ve both made your positions clear,” Fabian said, his voice low but firm. “But marriage should not be understood as a business transaction. Tasha is worth more

Chapter 163Weeks filled with anxiety and unsolved conundrums, deception, and intrigues had passed. The search for Loretta however had shifted into overdrive for Fabian in a dangerously obsessive manner. Each piece of information brought him closer to a revelation but still, every single one of them failed to prepare him for what would come.On a chilly autumn day, Fabian received a telephone call from an unknown caller. His heart raced as he picked up the call, fully aware that this could be the call he had been anxiously waiting for.“Fabian”, the voice on the other end sounded slightly familiar. It was the detective that he had hired to help him after Edward went missing. “We have a situation. We have located Loretta.”Fabian felt his heart race when a small house at the edge of the city came through after the address had been given. Without thinking, he took his keys and dashed to the door. The trip was a haze, all of it filled with thoughts of Loretta. What did they do to her? Wh

As he rode, memories came flooding his mind and brought him back to that time when all he was was Maria's assistant lingering in the shadows of her ambitions. He could remember how he would sit for hours on end and watch her enchant and flirt with Fabian; hear her laughter echo down the halls of their office.He had seen the moment of fate when Maria was wrapped in Fabian's arms, her eyes sparkling with delight, accepting him as her boyfriend. In that instant, Lucas felt jealousy mixed with frustration; how could she not see what Fabian was? He knew there was something wrong with the man she idolized depth of darkness behind the polished surface.Maria, you need to be careful," Lucas had warned her, his voice edged with concern as he faced her the next day. "I've seen the way he operates. He's not who he seems."But she had brushed him off, dismissing his worries with a wave of her hand. "You're just jealous because you're not in the spotlight, Lucas. Fabian is a powerful man. You can

As he walked down the streets of the city, he felt a surge of invincibility take over his body. He felt that no one could touch him after all, he had eliminated one of his major threats. Edward's absence would leave a huge hole, and Lucas intended to fill this vacuum with his ambition.He reached a secluded area, parked his car, and sat for a minute or so to collect his thoughts. He had to think now. Edward was out of the way; next came keeping Loretta in his grasp. She was the only way he could use both Fabian and Tasha to his advantage, and he wasn't going to let her get away from him.He whipped out his cell phone and sent a text to Maria. "Let's meet. We need to discuss the next move." In a second, he received a response: "Where?""The warehouse. I'll be there in 20."Lucas wheeled the car around and headed in the direction of the warehouse, his mind racing with possibilities. Loretta, he thought, considering how they might use her in their scheme. To be sure, she was a chip to be

At the accusation, Edward's face darkened as his mind raced to concoct this verbal assault by Lucas. "And what exactly do you think I did? I was trying to protect my family, just like you should be."Lucas tightened his fists in growing frustration. "Protecting your family? By disappearing? If you knew something about Loretta's whereabouts, you should have come forward. You have no idea what I've gone through trying to find her!Believe me, I know precisely what it's like to be helpless," Edward replied in a low-intense voice. "But you don't know the whole story. I couldn't come forward. Not yet."Lucas stepped closer, his eyes locked on Edward's. "Then tell me the story. What's going on? Where's Loretta?Edward cast a look backward toward the house as if to weigh in his mind just how much he wanted to involve Lucas with the fact. Finally, he let out a heavy sigh and spoke. "I was taken captive, but I was able to escape. Those who abducted Loretta are still on the loose, keeping my ev

Maria's eyes flashed at him as her gaze narrowed. "I'm not obsessed. I just know how things work in this world. Tasha doesn't stand a chance against someone like me. I know his weaknesses. I know what he needs.""Is that why you're trying to bring her down? Because you think you can step in and show him what a real partner looks like?" Lucas asked, intrigued.Maria shrugged, and much of her confidence returned. "Exactly, I'm just helping him see the light. Tasha is just a pretty face, a distraction. I'll make sure he realizes that."Lucas watched her, impressed yet cautious. "You know this could backfire, right? If you push too hard, you might end up pushing him away for good."Not a chance," Maria shot back. "I know how to play my cards right. While Tasha's busy playing the perfect wife, I'll be working behind the scenes, turning his head. I will make Fabian remember who he is truly meant to be with."Lucas shook his head, feeling a mix of admiration and trepidation in his chest. "Ju

Maria crossed her arms, leaning in closer, a smug look on her face. "I'm just making an observation. It's just amazing to see how fast somebody can change their tune once they snag a rich husband. Isn't it, Lucas?"Lucas gave Tasha a worried look as if to say he didn't want to be part of this. Tasha drew in a deep breath, attempting to keep calm. "You don't know anything about me, Maria. This isn't about Fabian or the money. It's about being loyal to the people I care about. Something you wouldn't understand."Maria stepped back, her eyes narrowing. "Oh, please, spare me the moral high ground. You're not some saint just because you put a ring on it. Do you think marrying him makes you untouchable? I wouldn't be so sure.""Enough!" Tasha snapped, firm in her tone. "You need to stop with the petty jealousy and move on. Your constant need to undermine me is getting old.Jealousy? That's what you think this is?" Maria laughed again, her tone hard, unyielding. "I am just looking after the

She pulled her phone out and opened the contacts list before peering at the number of Lucas once again. She dialed his number and let it ring a few times before he finally picked up, his tone tired but alert. "Tasha? Is everything okay?"Not exactly," she replied, dropping her voice to a whisper. "I just spoke with De Silva, and he certainly made it clear that he's not letting go of our past. I need to know if you have any leads on Loretta. He's becoming a problem, and I can't afford to have him interfering.Lucas squirmed in his chair. "I've been doing some work trying to locate Loretta, but she's vanished into thin air. I'll keep searching; it's not concrete at this moment."Tasha felt a sense of doom. "We can't let him know we're working together. If he finds this out, he might screw everything up.I know, Lucas said his voice grave. I'm keeping a low profile, doing my best. For now, just focus on Fabian; he is your priority.I can't just sit around and wait. De Silva is unpredicta

Tasha set the glass down, forcing herself to meet his gaze. "I don't know what you mean," she said, her voice steady, though her insides were in turmoil.He smirked, a knowing glint in his eyes. "You've always been a good liar, Tasha. But remember… I can always tell."Her breath caught, but she hastily masked the fear with a small, nervous-sounding laugh. "There is nothing to tell, De Silva. I'm just… adjusting to everything. You know how stressful things have been."He raised an eyebrow. His fingers brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear, a gesture that felt more possessive than affectionate. "Stress, huh?Tasha nodded, conscious of the weight of his scrutiny. She needed to be cool, needed to make him believe all was right with her world. But sitting as close as she was to him, feeling the heat emanating from his body and the intensity of his gaze, she wondered how much longer she could play the facade before he uncovered her betrayal.De Silva leaned back, taking the glass from

There was a moment of silence on the other end, followed by a deep sigh. "We have to be smart about this, Tasha. If De Silva's onto us, we need to figure out our next step, fast."Tasha pressed her fingers to her temples, the weight of the situation closing in around her. "You think I don't know that? I can't afford to slip up again, especially with him watching my every move."."We need to keep calm and stay according to plan," Lucas finally said, his voice much more even now. "He doesn't have proof as yet, just suspicions. We'll keep everything low-key for some time; make it appear as if all is business as usual. We still have leverage De Silva doesn't know about our deal with Vinnie."Tasha tightened her jaw. "What if Vinnie talks? What if he gets scared and tells De Silva everything?"Lucas was silent for a moment before his voice dropped to a low octave. "If it comes down to it… we'll have to take Vinnie out before he gets the chance to open his mouth."Tasha's stomach churned at
