The Mafia’s Price:Bound By Debt Chapter 64
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.

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 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

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

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

Chapter 1Elena's POVMy boyfriend. The same boyfriend with whom I had spent and dreamed of long-term love, trust, and life together was sprawled on a bed sheet with nothing but my little sister, Lily."Elena!" Brian tried in vain to get into a sitting position, his face a picture of guilt and fear written all over his face.I guess it was too late. "It's not what it looks like!"But it was exactly what it looked like. Lily, my sister, leaned back against the headboard, completely unfazed, her smug grin igniting my anger.Well, I knew she was a snake, but bringing my boyfriend into this. He was the only one on my side. At least I thought so.“Oh, come on, Elena," she voiced out, playfully wending a strand of her hair through her shoulder. “I hope you didn't think he'd be sticking around for someone like you, or did you?”Her words cut deep as if someone had plunged a knife into my chest. My vision flashed, and my hands locked at my sides, screaming constricted my very throat. There

Chapter 2Elena's POV The car ride had no sound. I looked outside the window, my heart beginning to beat fast in my chest as we drove through the places I had never set my eyes on before.The city lights became a blur as we passed them but my thoughts fixated on one idea.How the hell had my life flipped so fast?They had betrayed me, sold me, and now a man who gave off a dangerous aura had kidnapped me. My father's words rang in my head, his cowardice eating through me. How could he have done this to me?"What's our destination?" I asked, at last, ending the silence. My voice was trembling but the aim was to sound tougher than I felt. The man, who sat opposite me, shifted his cold dark eyes to look at me. His sharp features seemed chiselled from rock, and his presence made it hard to breathe."You'll know soon," he answered, his tone as frosty as his look."Hey," I said, my anger starting to rise. "You can't just—""I can do as I please," he cut in, his voice deep and firm. "You'

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,

Elena POVIt was the rod of the rack that dug into my side, making the pain multiply in an annoying way.I asked my tongue and pushed myself off the ground, the event already drawing surrounding reactions.I checked my gown, as I contemplated that with the way I felt, it had given me more than a side bruise, if any, but also cut my gown.I turned to look at the left side of my rib and was thankful it wasn't so torn for anyone to notice.I turned with my face flushed in anger, the woman in front of me a complete stranger, but even then, was that how a stranger was supposed to act towards another person?I wanted to speak, to let out my rage, but I remembered where I was.“The Beauty Deluxe Mall is where top-tier people from all over come to shop.” Selene's words popped back into my head.Then again, I was a stranger here; I didn't know who she was and now, I didn't want to either. 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
