The Mafia’s Price:Bound By Debt Chapter 12
Selena’s POVI watched closely as Dominic turned and walked away after ranting about how I should mind my business and all that, his broad shoulders disappearing into the shadows. I couldn't help but smile to myself, “this was so fun to watch,” I murmured to myself, as I felt nothing but satisfaction seeing the awkward look on his face when I teased him about Elena, his captive. Not only that, but I had finally gotten under his skin, and I knew it. This was one cool weakness of his that I had just discovered. I had seen the flicker of emotions in his eyes, unlike the Dominic I’d known all these years. A hint of feelings that he couldn’t hide this time around. Dominic was a master when it comes to control, a man who always kept his emotions in check and unnoticeable, no matter how much you try to look out for hints. But I had seen something in him today, something that made me think that maybe, just perhaps, I could use this to my fucking advantage.Perhaps I could use this to m

Elena’s POVI came just out of my room again, my heart racing with suspense. I had known what was going on, any secret in this house that could aid my escape. I had to get clues, if there was something more than my father's debt, which was the main reason why I’m here. I had assumed it was just about the debt that my father had given me up and Dominic had taken me as some kind of twisted revenge against my father.But now, with everything that has been going on here, with everything that I had experienced, I wasn’t so sure. There was something more going on here, something that I couldn’t quite figure out yet. I made my way down the stairs, my footsteps silent on the marble floor. The sound of voices filled the air as I got closer to the dinning area. I leaned closer, pushing myself forward, listening as the sounds of laughter and conversations filled the air. I could hear the clinking of glasses, the soft murmur of voices. It sounded like a normal dinner party, but I knew there

Dominic’s POV“She would be very foolish if she thinks I accepted to take her for personal reasons when her father asked me to,” I added. Selena looked at me with suspicion eyes, “are you sure that’s all you have in mind?” She asked.“Come on, Selena… stop this teasing I’ve told you before,” I said, Selena raised an eyebrow, her eyes fixed on mine, “I’m not teasing you Dominic, I’m trying to understand your attitude the past few days,” she saidI sighed, feeling a hint of frustration. Selena knew me too well, she knows the exact button to press to get a fucking reaction out of me. But I wasn’t going to fall for that bullshit. I wasn’t going to let Selena make me fall for her nasty tricks. “Let’s just drop it, okay?” I said, my voice shaky but under control. “That girl is here because her father owes me a debt that’s all there is to it and like I said I intend to use her as bait to get her father.”Selena leaned back in her chair and gave me that suspicious look with her eyes. “Wel

Dominic’s POVI waved my hand dismissively, trying to brush off the awkwardness that had settled over the table like a thick fog after my sudden protective behavior over Elena. “Enough of all this nonsense,” I said, my voice cold and commanding, echoing off the walls of the dining room. “We have serious business to discuss, so let’s get on with it and leave irrelevant matters aside.”My men nodded, but they were still looking at me with a mix of both surprise and curiosity, But I ignored it, focusing on the task at hand.My mind racing with the confusion as I seemed so absent-minded that I didn’t know what I was doing. “James, have you made that call to the Russians yet?” I asked, my eyes narrowing slightly, my gaze piercing as I turned to face him.James shook his head, looking surprised at what I had just asked him, his eyes roaming around the room before finally settling on mine. “Not yet, boss. In our last meeting, you said you were going to reach out to them yourself and make

Dominic’s POVReluctantly, I walked towards Elena’s room. I stood outside for a few minutes, my hand raised to knock on the door. I hesitated for a moment, wondering what I was doing. Why was I drawn to her room again?But I pushed the thoughts aside, I knocked on the door, my heart pounding in my chest.There was a pause, and then the door creaked open. Elena stood there, her eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at me.“What do you want, Dominic?” she asked, her voice calm but with audacity.I smiled, my eyes locking on hers. “I just wanted to check on you,” I said, my voice low and husky. “To make sure you're comfortable.”Elena raised an eyebrow, I could see the surprised expression in her eyes. “Comfortable?” she repeated. “You call this comfortable Mr. Dominic?” She waved her hands in the air, gesturing to the whole building. I chuckled, my eyes never leaving hers. “Well, it's not the best, I'll admit,” I said. “But it's…adequate.”Elena's eyes flashed with anger, and I felt sat

Elena’s POV I watched as Dominic left my room, as I felt a mix of emotions swirling inside me. I was angry, frustrated, and scared all at once. But most of all, I was confused.Why the fuck was Dominic playing these games with me? One minute he was cold and distant, the next he was being charming and flirtatious. I didn't know what to understand about him, or what he wanted from me.As I stood there, trying to process my thoughts, I heard the sound of footsteps outside my room. I tensed, wondering if Dominic was coming back. But it wasn't him. It was a woman, the same woman who had given me food on my first day here.“Elena, you need to come with me, I want to show you something” she said, her voice calm and sweet.I hesitated, unsure of what to do. But her expression told me that I didn't have to worry. I nodded, following her out of my room and down the hallway.We walked in silence, the only sound being the echo of our footsteps off the walls. I didn't know where we were going, or

Elena’s POV As I sat there, lost in thought, Sophia seemed to sense my unease. She placed a gentle hand on my arm, her touch warm and comforting, like a calming balm to my tired nerves.“Don’t worry, Elena,” she said, her voice soft and calm, like a gentle melody that seemed to calm my racing thoughts. “Soon enough You'll figure things out. Just be patient and try to see things in a different perspective.”I nodded slowly as I felt nothing but gratitude towards Sophia. She was the first person in this mansion who had shown me kindness and understanding, and I found myself drawn to her warm and caring nature.As we sat there in silence, I couldn't help but think about Dominic. What was his story? What had driven him to become the person he was today? The ruthless mafia boss who seemed to take pleasure in my fear and rage.Sophia seemed to notice my curiosity. “Dominic's past is complicated,” she said, her voice low and careful, as if she was sharing a secret that was meant to remain h

Dominic’s POVI woke up to the sound of my alarm, the loud ringing piercing through my eardrums and waking me up from my deep slumber.Tired, I Slowly reached over to turn it off, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. It was morning, and I had a big fucking day ahead of me.I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood up, stretching my arms over my head and aching my back in reliving stretch.I yawned, I had been tossing and turning for hours, my mind racing with thoughts of the meeting with the Russians and the various scenarios that could play out.I made my way to the bathroom, flipping on the light switch, and looked at my reflection in the mirror. I looked like hell, my eyes bloodshot and my face pale. I splashed some water on my face, trying to wake myself up and wash away the fatigue. I rubbed my eyes, as I felt the weight of my responsibilities bearing down on me.As I dried my face, I couldn't help but think about Elena. She had been on my mind all night, her beautiful face

Dominic POV "Ulterior motives eh?" I repeated and Selene nodded twice. “That's what I believe." selene affirmed. “She’s probably pushing your buttons, trying to get on your soft side so when you don't notice, she'll do what she's planning internally. What she harbors in mind." "Hmph," I said thinking, and Selene smiled.She probably thought in her head that if I gave her an inch, she was going to go a mile and keep adding fuel to fire so, Elena wouldn't be in my favour, but then, the conversation that seemed to be going North in her favour went south very fast. "What do you take me for?" I asked and Selene was caught off guard by the question."Uhm, what do you mean by that, Dominic?" She asked, genuinely confused. "Exactly what I said. What do you take me for?" I repeated, facing her and my expression had become grim and cold and Selene gulped nervously but she still stood her ground thinking of a way she could regain control of the conversation. If

Elena POVThe first kiss was totally unexpected. And even after it, I didn't know what I was going to expect from Dominic or even myself. There were too many emotions involved for me to make the right call on the particular reaction I was going to make. Or Dominic was going to make either.But then he does this—an unexpected after a previous unexpected.This kiss wasn't as soft as the previous one. This time, I could feel there was more intention and desire behind it.This time, it was more raw and passionate and I could even say clumsy. I had closed my eyes, feeling just sizzles in my body while his tongue searched around in my mouth.And in this moment, my body surprised me the most because it wasn't doing anything I thought it was supposed to do. That is, kick against it, stop him from tasting me, and get angry even.We continued to kiss for a minute before he finally dislodged his lips from mine, and I was surprised by how I was trying to catch my breath. I felt as if fire had bee

Elena POVIn that subtle moment, everything felt paused to me, like a movie. I didn't think a single thought ran through my mind before I rushed over to the side of Dominic's bed, kneeling on the ground as I felt my worry spike within me.“Dominic!” I said, my worry now very evident on my face as my eyes still remained locked on his wounded arm.I gently grabbed his arm and examined it. To me, it seemed that the wound, which was already wrapped before, had reopened again, and that was because there were two shades of blood, with one darker than the other. It must have been from when he stood up abruptly from the bed and told Selene to leave, I think.“What happened to you while you were away? How did you get this wound?” I asked, hungry for answers. But then, seconds passed and I didn't get any answers to my questions.Dominic just sat there silently. He wasn't looking at his wound or at my hand, which I used to apply pressure on the wound so that the bleeding would slow down. To me,
The Mafia’s Price:Bound By Debt Chapter 55
Elena's POV“What's happening here?” I asked, ignoring Selene’s previous question as my eyes darted between Selene and Dominic, laying so still it almost felt like he was a log of wood.“What are you doing to him? Why is he—” I didn’t finish my next question before Selene jumped to her feet and rushed to me, using her hand to cover my mouth so I wouldn’t keep talking.“Shhhh,” she said, turning to Dominic, seeing that he only grunts a bit and then continues to sleep. She exhaled in relief and faced me with her earlier cold expression.“I asked you, why did you come inside?” she said, but her tone was low and stern as well.“Why wouldn’t I? I was very curious. I didn’t understand what you meant by your statement and again, you didn’t come out, so I didn’t know what to do and I couldn’t keep waiting outside,” I replied, also keeping my voice low.“Well, the best thing for you to have done is to go back to your room and wait till Dominic has decided to go to his office or somewhere you c
The Mafia’s Price:Bound By Debt Chapter 54
Elena POV I reached the door and started hearing footsteps—someone was walking around inside—and I exhaled lightly. I know I’ve already made up my mind to see him as fast as possible, but now, I didn’t just want to barge in. That isn't something he would like. So, I composed myself and slowly moved to enter the office. When I entered, he was facing his chair and backing me so I couldn't see his face. “Dominic,” I said, taking a few steps into the room. But the man turned, and I was surprised. It wasn’t Dominic, but one of his men. “Sorry,” I apologized, a bit embarrassed—good thing I didn’t put more emotion into calling his name. “I thought you were him.” “No, ma’am,” the man replied. “The boss isn't here yet, I just came in order to take a document.” “Whose orders?” I asked. “The boss’s orders, ma’am,” the man replied. “Dominic’s? He’s back?” I asked, surprised. “Yes, ma’am. He came in last night,” the man replied. “Last night? How come I didn’t notice?” I asked more of mys

Elena POVI didn’t sleep much last night.In my head, my conflicting thoughts were too much of a bother to allow me to lie down and get up to three hours of rest and so, I ended up sleeping outside for a few minutes before I woke up again. From the way I saw it, it felt as if the night just went by in minutes.All this while, I was thinking but yet, I still wasn't able to find a suitable answer to settle my worries. I sighed dejectedly and got on my feet, deciding it was better to go back to my room. There was no reason for me to keep answering questions with questions. I had to try and get some sleep, even if it was just a little.The soft ticking of the big clock in the hallway was the only sound accompanying my racing thoughts.There was something wrong, something off. And I could feel it.Every corner of this mansion seemed to carry hidden details of secrets I wasn't seeing.It felt like betrayal and a blend of other eerie things were going on from beyond the facade of it all, an

Dominic POVI just spent the last few minutea trying to stabilize myself and calm my nerves. Things were unraveling at a rate I wasn't catching up to in time. And I need to, before things get worse than they already are.“Boss.” Gabe called my attention, and I turned to him with an angry look. Not necessarily because he was disturbing me—I was just mad at everything right now.“I'm sorry, boss, but what do we do with her now?” Gabe asked me, and I shifted my gaze from him to Johanna, who still had a pool of tears streaming down her face. Her eyes were still locked on her brother’s lifeless body, and I sighed dejectedly and walked in front of Johan, covering his eyes before I shifted my gaze to her, shielding the body from her sight as I said,“This wasn’t how things were supposed to go.” I paused, looking at her, but she had shut her eyes, still biting on Gabe’s hand, who seemed to be enduring the pain. I signaled to him to let go, and he took his hand off her mouth. She kept weeping

Dominic POV“Would you like some tea?” I said mockingly, and Johan gulped even harder this time. I could see him starting to shake in his spot, his eyes darting around the room for a way to escape.“We've waited all this time for you,” I continued, enjoying the moment. “Your sister here gave us assurance you'd be back soon, so we took her words. Else we’d have taken her,” I added with a look over to Johanna, and she clenched the blanket she was holding even tighter. It was from fear—the more, the better. It would make things easier for me, easier to get information from Johan when he knew what was truly at stake.He had a look of desperation on his face, and in a sharp move, he turned toward the door. But he didn't take two steps before the man already behind him slammed the door shut. The impact made Johan fidget. He turned toward the stairs, desperate to run up them, but another of my men stood in his path. He slid and fell to the ground, his eyes locking onto the fire alarm. He was

Dominic POV I sat behind my desk in the study room, my knuckles pressed into my temple, while, with my other hand, I flipped through a document I wasn't bent on reading. I wasn't concentrating on the document, not really. Not since that damn message came in. A set of knocks on the door was easily enough to draw my attention and my eyes left the document. “Come in,” I said, and the next second, James walked in with an expression that made me curious. Clasping my hands together, I asked, “What is it?” “We found him,” James said. My eyes narrowed as I proceeded to ask, “Where?” “He’s currently at an abandoned duplex towards the southern part from here. It shouldn't be up to a two-hour drive. The man’s name is Johan. From what I've gathered, he works at a computer shop. Not too far from where he lives. He’s got a sister—just got discharged from a hospital.” I raised an eyebrow and James continued. “Cancer. Most likely in its late stage, from what we can tell.” My gaze left James
