Elena’s Pov

I stood in the doorway, watching what looked like a celebration unfold before my eyes.

Dominic’s men seemed so excited, they were laughing and cheering, their faces filled with excitement.

Dominic himself was standing in the center of the room, a glass of champagne in his hand, with a bright smile on his face.

I was so fucking suprised as I had never seen Dominic like this before. He was always so serious, so intimidating. But now, he seemed….. happy.

I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. I didn't understand what was actually going on with them. Why were they celebrating so much? What had happened? Why were they so happy?

As I stood there, trying to make sense of it all, I noticed one of dominic’s men approaching him. They spoke in low tones, their faces were so serious. I strained my ears but they was no way I could hear their conversation from such a far distance.

I wondered what they must be up to, I needed to hear what they were talking about because I want t

  • The Mafia’s Price:Bound By Debt    Chapter 22

    Elena’s POV I raised an eyebrow, unsure of where he was going with this. What did he want from me?“I'm willing to offer you a place by my side for the main time though,” he said, his voice low and smooth. “You can help me make decisions.”I was taken aback by his offer, shocked by what he had just said. Me? Help him make decisions? It seemed absurd, judged by my situation. “But there's a catch,” he said, his eyes narrowing slightly. “You have to prove yourself to me. You have to show me that you're loyal, that you're trustworthy.”I hesitated, unsure of what to say. Part of me was tempted by his offer. I was keen to learn more about who Dominic truly was, to understand what made so tick.But another part of me was screaming to get out, to escape from this place and never look back.“What do you say, Elena?” Dominic asked. “Are you in?”I took a deep breath, weighing my options. I could refuse, try to find another way to escape. Or I could accept, play along and see where it took me

    Selena’s POV I walked into the mansion, my heels clicking on the marble floor. I had stepped out for just a few hours, and I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.As I walked, I noticed that the mansion was spotless, as always, but there then I noticed some kind of disorder. The maids were scrubbing around, cleaning up what looked like the remnants of a party. I frowned, confusion etched on my face.I hadn’t been home for just some hours, and it seemed like a lot had happened in my absence. What had happened while I was away?I quickened my pace, my curiosity increasing. I approached one of the maids, a young girl who was scrubbing the floor with a mop.“Hey, what's going on?” I asked her, trying to sound casual despite the growing feeling of unease in my stomach.The maid hesitated, looking around nervously before leaning in close. “There was a celebration here, Miss Selena,” she whispered. “Mr. Dominic and his men…they were celebrating something.”I raised an eyebrow,

    Selena’s POV I walked down the hallway, lost in thought, my heels clicking on the floor.But my thoughts were interrupted by a voice behind me.“Madam Selena.” I heard a familiar voice call out to me.I turned to see James, one of Dominic's most trusted men, if not the most trustworthy. He was standing right behind me. He was a tall, muscular man with a rugged face and a sharp jawline. He was putting on a black suit and His eyes seemed to bore into mine, as if he could see right through me.“What's up, James?” I asked, trying to sound casual as I didn’t want him to notice the unease in my expression as I had just been brought back from the land of thoughts by his voice. James glanced around nervously before leaning in closer. “I didn’t see you around during the celebration, I believe boss must have told you the reason for the celebration.”“Yes he did James, I stepped out for personal reasons. I’ve seen Dominic, and he has told me the reason for the little celebration,” I responded

    Selena’s POV I stormed down the hallway, and I could feel my heart racing, my breath coming in short gasps. I was trying to hold back my emotions, but it was of no use.As I reached my room, I slammed the door shut behind me and leaned against it, trying to catch my breath. I felt like my lungs were going to explode, like my emotions were going to burst out of me at any moment.I took a deep breath and attempted to calm myself down, but it was no use. I felt like I was fucking losing control, like I was running out of breath.I walked over to the window and stared out at the gardens below. I could see the perfectly manicured lawns, the colorful flowers, the sparkling fountains. It was all so beautiful, so peaceful.But I didn't feel that peace. I felt angry, hurt, betrayed. I felt like Dominic had lied to me, like he had deceived me all these years even though he never for once, mentioned such things I still felt that way.I felt he should have known, should have figured it out that

    Dominic’s PovI watched in shock as Selena stormed out of my officeher anger and frustration was unbelievable. I was taken aback by her reaction, stunned by the depth of her emotion. What was going on? Why was she so fucking upset?I leaned back in my chair, my mind racing with questions Selena had always been my rock, my loyal right-hand woman. She had never questioned my decisions before, never shown such open disagreement.What the fuck changed? I was so fucking suprised, what’s actually going on with her?I thought back to our conversation, trying to point out what had actually triggered her to react like that. Was it the fact that I had shown Elena to everyone in the house and asked them to treat her with respect? That I had elevated her above the other prisoners?But why the fuck would that even bother Selena? She had never shown any interest in the prisoners before. She had always been focused on the business, on helping me run the organization.Unless…..maybe…… she felt th

    Dominic’s povI leaned back in my chair, studying Selena’s expression. She was hiding something, but I couldn't quite figure out what it was.“Selena, come on,” I said, trying to convince her into opening up. “We've known each other for years. I can tell when something’s bothering you.”Selena’s expression didn’t change, but I saw a faint glimpse of emotion in her eyes. “Is it Elena?” I asked, my voice low. “Are you jealous of her?” I continued, trying to bring the words out of her mouth.Selena’s eyes flashed, and for a moment, I thought I saw what seemed to look like anger. But then, her expression smoothed out, and she laughed out loud. “Jealous of her?” Selena repeated, her voice dripping with scorn. “Don’t be ridiculous, Dominic. I’m just worried about you and the organization, like I said earlier.”I raised an eyebrow, Selena was a terrible liar, and I knew she was hiding something. But I also knew that pushing her too hard would only make her pretend even further.“Okay, Sele

    Dominic’s PovI walked into Elena’s room, my mind still occupied with the silly and surprising conversation with her father. I had so many questions for her, so many things I wanted to know if she’s willing to open up. And I knew that Elena was the only one who could provide me with the answers I was looking for, I hope so.Elena looked up as I entered, her eyes flashing with a mixture of fear and anger. She was sitting on the bed, her back against the headboard, and she looked like she had been crying for quiet some time.I sat down next to her, my eyes locked on hers. “We need to talk,” I said, with a calm and gentle voice.Elena nodded, her eyes never leaving mine. “About what?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.I took a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts. “About your father,” I said finally. “is he really your father? Because I don’t know why he would be so willing to sacrifice you for his debt.”Elena’s eyes flashed, and for a moment, I thought I saw a glimmer

    Elena PovI lay in bed, as I couldn’t get over the shock and confusion that was going on in my mind. I couldn’t believe what had just happened. Dominic of all people, the merciless and cruel man who had taken me from my father without hesitation, had just shown me kindness and compassion.I thought back to our conversation, trying to process everything he had said. He had promised to protect me, to keep me safe from my father’s cruelty.He had told me that he wasn’t a monster, that he was a man who cared about the people around him.But how could that be? I had seen the way he treated his guards, the way he spoke to them with contempt and disdain. I had seen the way he looked at me, like I was nothing more than a goddamn prisoner who had been abandoned by her family. And yet, when he spoke to me just now, his voice was soft and gentle. His eyes were kind and compassionate and portrayed deep affection. It was like he was a different person Entirely. I didn’t know what to make of i

    Dominic POVIt took me about half an hour to get myself back in a calm state. I felt regretful, yes, but if I didn't face it now, I would just keep carrying them about and continue to be cranky—and that was initially what made James suspicious about me loving Elena.I had to address it. It wasn't going to help if I sat on the floor waiting for something like a miracle to happen. Not that I believed in that to begin with. I stood to my feet and picked my handkerchief off the ground. I looked like a mess, but I did my best to adjust my shirt, tie and collar and took a deep breath before leaving my office.I shut the door and walked over to Elena room. The guards that moved around and the surrounding maids greeted me, but I didn't respond to them. I just kept going until I finally got to her room door.I was some feet away from the door when I heard people talking inside. I paused, wondering who it could be, but eventually, I decided to draw closer and eavesdrop to get my answer."You've

    Dominic POVI did not know what had gotten into James this afternoon, but I wasn't ready to entertain such direct confrontation from him. What had entered him, I do not know—but I would not tolerate it."You are treading a very thin line, James. I suggest that you stop with your approach and do as I told you to—leave my office," I warned, but my words didn't seem to fuel any fear. He just stood there, unfazed."My behavior is disrespectful. I'm sorry boss, I truly am. But this is an issue I have come to realize that I have to address. If not, it's not going to work out for our benefit. It is only going to make our enemies succeed and our plans fall through," James said, and I kept my gaze, radiating my anger hot at him."This woman—she's becoming your weakness, and it has become visibly evident to me. That is why I’ve decided to speak up against it before it is too late," James said."Say what you have in mind, James. Say it," I dared, and he gulped and replied."Elena has taken too m

    Selene POVDominic hadn't answered my question. It had been a full five minutes since I asked, yet he hadn't given me an answer or even said a word. He was still thinking, but that made my heart pound even more as the minutes went by. Why was he still thinking?Dominic sighed and looked at me, and I saw he was ready to respond to my question. I steeled myself as best as I could—so if what he wanted to say would hurt me, even a little, I would be able to take it. I hoped so.“If I'm being real, Selene, I don't know,” Dominic replied to me, and my face squeezed up.“What do you not know?” I asked.“What you just asked me about. That is, my feelings for Elena. I can't give you a definite answer,” Dominic said, and I was disappointed.“Why can't you? She's just taking up space. This should be an easy decision to make,” I said. My anger was starting to show in my words, but he didn't care about that.I noticed it. Ever since he barged into my room before, telling me I needed to go on an ou

    Selene POVI could see it in her eyes. Just like before, at the arcade incident, when the man had pointed a gun directly at us and was about to pull the trigger. That expression. It was the same one she has on now.She wasn't expecting it, and she was finding it impossible to come to terms with. That was good, because that way, things would be working in my favor."That's the way it is, Elena. You have to come to terms with the real behavior of the man you're staying with. Take it from me," I said, and I could see Elena's face pale. The shock was still very evident on her face."It's sad, really, how Dominic acts towards us," I continued. But Elena isn't looking at me—she's listening, and that's good enough."Dominic does that—I mean, he manipulates women's feelings to suit his desires. To use them for his ulterior motives, like we were his little puppets. And when he's done, when he has succeeded, you’d just join the rest of us in the slut category." I said, and Elena started breathi

    Selene POVThe look of horror on her face gave me joy internally. I was so amused, it was very hard keeping the laugh I had inside.Of course, the attack wasn't expected, and yes, we were lucky enough not to have any casualties on our end—but that was because of Dominic's idea.The men that had swung into action earlier had been following us secretly ever since we left the mansion for our outing. Dominic made sure of it, so in any event things went south, we were going to be protected.And good thing he did, because if not, we wouldn’t have been alive right now. But Elena didn't know any of the details. And I wouldn't even dare enlighten her on them. Her fear, panicking, and mental breakdown is what I needed to boost her vigour to leave—the sooner, the better.“Let’s go away from here now,” Elena said in an almost pleading tone, and I nodded once as I helped her to her feet.“You don't want to clean yourself up first? You look really messy,” I suggested.“No. Please, let's just leave.

    Dominic POV“How do you know my name?” I asked slowly. My hands are still slightly raised in a ‘calm down’ position as I wait for him to respond. Hopefully, he wouldn't do anything rash. Like jumping off the building.Mark is quiet, but he's still looking at me as if I was a memory that just walked out of his past to see him now.“Boss, what do we do?” James asked me quietly, and I didn't turn to look at him.“Just wait. I have a feeling that he's going to talk on his own,” I said.“Hm,” James replied, taking my word for it.“I recognize you,” Mark said after a minute, clearing the silence.“You just said my name, so I believe that. But how do you know who I am?” I asked, Mark's eyes still locked on me. He was remembering things.“The reason why I recognized you the moment you took off that mask was because I remembered when I worked with Luca, back in the days. All that time, all those years. And yet Luca had a persistent problem he couldn't get rid of. It was you. His biggest rival,

Instead of causing a scene by questioning her back, or yelling at her because of what she did to me, I cho

    Elena POV"I was an idiot," I said, slapping my forehead with my palm disappointed."What did we just do?" I asked myself, pacing haphazardly around the room.It had been more than ten minutes since the kiss happened and I tried locking the memory somewhere inside my head so I could forget that it ever happened. I wasn't doing so well at that, so I decided to take a walk and clear my head.But when I ran into him, the thought of what happened just reappeared to me.But I didn't feel repulsed or irritated by it, not even for one second. I think that I might have even enjoyed the kiss.I felt my heartbeat start increasing again and I did my best to calm myself down from my triggering thoughts. I placed my hand on my chest to breathe better. I gulped and closed my eyes as I saw the moment again like a movie.I felt annoyed and I didn't know when my hand got a mind of its own and I smacked myself across the cheek."Stupid, stupid me!" I cursed, as I felt even more regretful."Why couldn't
