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.
