The Mafia’s Price:Bound By Debt Chapter 9
Elena’s POVI sat on the bed, my mind racing with thoughts of escape, all I could think about in this place was how to flee without taking a look back. I had to get out of here, no matter what it took, no matter how many times I would have to try, no matter how many times I was going to fail, I choose not to give up.I would go continue trying, and maybe he could let me go if he sees my efforts.‘And what makes you think so?’ a tiny little voice in my head spoke.And that's when I realized myself, what the fuck actually made me think that Dominic was going to let me go just because I was trying? He could even get more angry and take out the anger he felt towards my father against me. The thought of being trapped in this house at the mercy of a man who seemed to take pleasure in my fear was unbearable and totally mind draining. I thought back to the conversation I had with the lady who had brought me food. She seemed very kind and warm-hearted, and I wondered if I could trust her si

Elena’s POV“Where did you expect yourself to be? Oh… you were expecting yourself to burst out on the street? What makes you think I’ll leave an escape route in my house? You’re not going anywhere, baby girl,” Dominic said, pushing off himself from the wall.“You’re mine now, and you’ll do exactly what I say at all times.”I took a step back, “I’m not yours,” I said, trying to get away from him, but he just laughed. His laughter a cold, threatening sound that filled the air. “You can't escape me, Baby girl,” he said, his eyes fixed on mine. “I own you, and you’ll do exactly what I tell you to, regardless of what it is or guess what? You’re going to suffer the consequences.”I felt a chill run down my spine as he took a step closer to me, but I still summoned up my courage to talk back at him. “Point of correction, you don’t own me, and you never will,” I fired back. I knew I was trapped, and I knew I had to think fast if I was going to survive, I had to do my best.I stood there fr

Dominic’s POVI chuckled, amused by Elena’s bravery and audacity to speak to me in such manner, but she’s also a naive little girl. Thinking she could outsmart me has to be the most stupid and dumbest thought ever. I have every single information about her, every single step she takes in this house, and she must be stupid into thinking she can actually outsmart me. “Do you understand what I just said girl?” I asked, giving her that scary boss expression. But instead of answering me she turned and walked into the same path she came from in anger. I could tell she was probably frustrated and was going back to her room. I laughed again, shaking my head as I’d enjoyed the look of frustration on her pretty little face. “You seem so interested in her, unlike other prisoners,” a familiar voice spoke.I turned to see Selena behind me, she’s been watching me all along. And I was beginning to get pissed by this recent attitude of hers. “What the fuck are you talking about, Selena?” I aske

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

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,

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

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
