Trapped In The Mafia's Dark Addiction Eighty Nine
ETHAN BlACKWOOD POV My chest felt stuffy as I stared at her. God damn it, why did this always fucking happen.I should have listened to that damn doctor when he told me to stop fooling myself and to just force her to want me, to love me... If I had taken what I wanted when I wanted, she wouldn't have thought about running away, at least, not when she was locked up inside and chained to the fucking bed!But I didn't do that, Instead, I kept chasing a midsummer's night dream and waiting for her to give her heart to me when I knew damn well it was never going to happen.I was so pissed off, I wanted to hit something. Anything. No, I wanted to hit her. I wanted to hit her so damn bad, I trembled.The look of fear in her eyes as she stared at me made the urge stronger. I took a step toward her and she staggered back, her face going pale with fright as if she could tell what I was thinking of doing."Ethan?" She called, her throat moving as she swallowed."Don't you dare say my name, Hazel

HAZEL STYLES POV The gun went off, and I gasped, my eyes widening as something hot pierced the side of my stomach.It went quiet for a second and then I stumbled, my vision blurring as a sudden crushing pain knocked the breath right out of my lungs.I doubled over, my trembling hands moving to the warmth spreading through my clothes. The metallic tang of blood filled my mouth, and as I glanced down to my stomach, my hands clutching at the blood-soaked portion of my dress, I realized that I'd been shot.Ethan had shot at me. I turned to face him, the shock that he'd really pulled the trigger while aiming at me reverberating through my mind like a scream that refused to fade. My eyes locked onto his, and for a moment, we just stared at each other, the tension between us thick and heavy.I dropped to my knees, the pain I felt making my vision blurry. He walked toward me, his jaw clenching as he stopped in front of me.He reached for me, his hand tangling in my hair, and then he yanke

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV The force of the bullets hitting me in the back sent me crashing forward. I hit the ground, the gun skidding out of my hand.Grunting from the pain firing up my back, I raised my head, my eyes meeting those of Hazel's wide ones.Tears filled them up as she stared at me, the light in the room making them glisten like stars; then a choked sob escaped her lips, a single tear drop tracing its path down her cheek.My heart twisted In my chest. I hated that It had taken me so long to find her and that even now, she was still in danger when I'd sworn to protect her.I tried to get up, needing to go to her and assure her that I was fine, when a hand fisted around my hair, and my head was yanked back viciously."I knew you were going to find me Riven, too bad I was a step ahead huh""You hurt her," I gasped out, staring at Hazel where she was pressed against the wall, the fear in her eyes making it difficult for me to breathe.Ethan's grip tightened on my hair. "She was t

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV A WEEK LATER "I don't want to see you right now, I think you should leave, Riven" Those were the words Hazel had said to me when I'd gone to check up on her in her hospital room, and five hours later, it was still replaying in my head.I chipped at my nails, the suffocating pressure in my chest crushing at my lungs.God damn it! I let out a harsh breath, then grabbed my head and leaned forward.I was losing my mind just thinking about it. Did she tell me to leave because she needed some time to get better, or was she pushing me away for good? It didn't help that she hadn't only said that but also flinched hard, her eyes flaring with terror when I reached to touch her face.My jaw clenched, dark thoughts running through my head. I clutched at my hair, tugging hard on it as the vice grip on my heart tightened.Just how much longer could I endure this cat-and-mouse game we played before I went insane?She'd promised that she was going to stay by my side no matter

HAZEL STYLES POV I gasped awake, my eyes darting around the room wildly as I panted for air. Goosebumps traced my skin, and a cold chill ran down my spine."Riven" I called out, then clamped my mouth shut. "No, not him," I told myself, drawing in a shaky breath. My eyes slowly adjusted to the low lighting in the room, and after a few quiet seconds, I realized that the frightening images had all been a nightmare.Trying to calm down, I raked my hand through my hair and sucked in a deep breath."It's not real. It's not real" I chanted to myself when someone touched my hand. I flinched, hard, my heart almost beating out of my lungs."Hazel, it's just me, Lena" she got out, looking shocked at my reaction.I clutched at my chest and glared at her. "You almost killed me. Why didn't you say anything sooner""Because you looked like you just woke up from a nightmare, and I didn't want to scare you," she explained, and I gave her a pointed look. "And it's my bad" she quickly added "I should

HAZEL STYLES POV "I'm so happy you're awake Hazel. You have no idea what hell I've been through the past few days" he murmured against my hair, his arms squeezing me.Getting over my initial shock, I grabbed at the side of his shirt and pushed at his chest a bit so he'd let go, but he just held onto me tighter."Raphael," I called out, and he shook his head."Don't push me away Hazel... Please just let me hold you for a few more seconds," he begged, his voice muffled as he snuggled impossibly closer.I glanced at Lena, the shock on her face mirroring mine. Her jaw was literally on the floor as she stared at Raphael.Forcing myself not to freak out, I slowly reached up and then patted his back. "Alright then," I got out tentatively, my gaze darting from him to Lena, then back again. "Take your time... I guess," I said.My words seemed to make him happier. He let out a contented sigh, then dropped his weight against me, his hand rubbing over my back. I allowed myself to relax into his

HAZEL STYLES POV"You belong to me, Hazel" he growled, his eyes burning into mine.My breath hitched, his words making my heart start up a frenzied rhythm in my chest.I swallowed and watched as his gaze dipped to my throat, following the movement.I clutched the sheet harder, my pulse quickening the longer his gaze lingered, then he looked up, his eyes dark and intense and stealing the breath right out of my lungs. The connection between us sparked like a live wire as he searched my face, his pupils dilating slightly the longer he looked at me, and then he leaned in even closer."You are mine Hazel, don't ever forget that"His words had my heart jumping, the intensity of his stare thickening the air between us with an unspoken tension that made it difficult to breathe.He turned away from me, and I let out a sharp breath, realizing that I'd been holding my breath the whole time."Leave," he ordered and my gaze jerked to those of Raphael, who was staring at him dazedly from the floor

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV A fire raged in my chest as I stared into her eyes. Our harsh breath mingled, the tension thick between us. Her eyes were wide with a mix of fear and anticipation, her body tense and trembling. I leaned in, my face just inches from hers. "Give in to me, little rabbit. You already know there's no escaping me" "And if I don't want to" she asked, looking up at me with a mixture of defiance and hunger in her eyes. Even though her refusal had my blood burning, I couldn't help but smirk as I saw the effect I was having on her. I leaned in even closer, my lips brushing against her cheek. "You think you can keep resisting me," I growled, my voice low and dangerous. "But you're wrong, Hazel. I've grown on you. You can't shake me off no matter how hard you try." She tried to pull away, her body struggling against my hold on her wrists. But I just held onto her tighter, my grip unyielding. "Struggle all you want, but you know you want me just as much as I want you." I

EPILOGUE ETHAN BLACKWOOD POV I gasped awake, my breath coming out in harsh pants as my eyes darted around the room wildly. But I was all alone.I sucked in a sharp breath and then groaned as the pain hit me all at once, my chest constricting painfully despite my effort to relax.The feeling was awful. My body felt like it was on fire, and despite all the drugs that were pumped into my system every other hour, I couldn't even breathe without feeling like I was on the verge of death.It was a horrible existence. I spent every day writhing in agony, praying and wishing for the day it would all end.And as if that was not enough, I kept having nightmares every other night of Riven coming to finish the job. I knew Father said he already made a deal with him to spare my life, but I was still skeptical. It could all be a lie to make me let my guard now— I scoffed."Let my guard down? What the hell can I do even if he chooses to attack me now," I muttered to myself, laughing at how ridicul

HAZEL STYLES POV I stared into the mirror, awed by the girl staring right back at me. Lena leaned over my shoulder, her gorgeous face shining as her lips stretched in a sweet smile."You look ethereal Hazel. I keep saying it, but Riven is totally going to be speechless when he sees you."I grinned, letting out a nervous breath. "He better be!" I said then met her gaze. "You also look really beautiful, Lena"She did a little twirl, then laughed. "I know girl!" "Like, look at all those curves—" A knock on the door interrupted me and we both glanced at it. "I'll go check," Lena offered, walked to the door, and pulled it open just enough to stick her head out. "Mr Blackwood," she gasped out and my eyes widened.I could hear him asking to talk to me alone. Lena glanced at me and I nodded.She stepped out as Mr Blackwood walked in, then gently closed the door behind her, leaving the both of us alone."Mr Blackwood?"He took off his cap. "Don't be so formal, Hazel, after all, we are beco

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV "This was fun, right?" I asked, staring at her face as she basked in the sun, her skin glowing in the light.She grinned, her head turning in my direction. "After receiving gold bars from your Dad, I really don't have much to complain about."I chuckled, then tilted my face to the sun. We lay in comfortable silence, enjoying the sound of nature. It was serene. I glanced at her. Her eyes were closed, but I could see some crease on her forehead and I wondered if it was wise to bring her to the beach after what happened with Ethan. "Are you really okay, Hazel?" I asked, watching as her eyes blinked open, her gaze fixed on the crashing waves as she thought over my question. We've already talked through most of her trauma but I needed to make sure that she was truly fine. I had to know that I wasn't doing something that could jeopardize all the progress she'd made. I wanted to make sure I was her safe space just like she was mine. "You can tell me anything you kn

HAZEL POV The curtain opened, and Lena gasped, her gaze darting to Eloise, her mom, who was equally staring at me in awe."Well," I asked, spreading my arm a bit. "What do you think?"Lena's mom got up, her eyes fixed on me almost reverently. "What do we think? You look absolutely stunning, dear. Wow, I am just speechless," she said and I grinned, the nervous energy slipping out of my body. This was the third dress I was trying on and they had all been good, but I liked this one best and was a bit worried that Eloise and Lena might disagree, but I shouldn't have bothered. I guess, just like me, they had a good eye."Really?" I asked, just to make sure."Don't just sit there, Lena. Doesn't she look absolutely stunning?" She asked, turning to face Lena. I also faced her.Lena looked like she was in a trance, her wide eyes locked in on the dress on my body; then she blinked, her hands flying over her open mouth, and then she literally screamed. I and Eloise jumped, a bit surprised beca

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV "I told you not to kill him," Father got out gravely, his hands flexing against the window sill. Letting out a sigh, he turned to face me. "What are you going to do when Victor finds out that you murdered his son huh? Do you think you'll be able to take him out like you did to Metz?"I stared at him. From how passionate he had been the last time we spoke, I expected him to be more angry than he was right now. Not that I cared though.I scoffed, then raked my fingers through my hair. "I wasn't thinking of doing anything that drastic, Father. Don't be so paranoid." His shoulders tensed, his veins visible as he gritted his teeth. "This is not a joking matter, Riven!" He snapped, his hands balling up at his side. Yes, that was more like it. Nothing pleased me more than rilling up the old man.I straightened, my gaze holding his. "I never said it was, you're the one who keeps blowing this out of proportion." I let out a rough breath, then stuffed my hand into my pocke

HAZEL STYLES POV The soft music filtering through the air pulled me out of the foggy dreamland I was in. My eyes blinked open, then I turned, the weight of Riven's arm on my hips making me smile.My face was leveled with his chest, and as I took in the smooth expanse of his skin, my pulse picked up, a wave of desire washing over me.I reached forward tentatively, my fingers caressing and tracing his muscles, loving the way he flexed even in his sleep."So beautiful," I whispered, then pressed my palm against his chest, the steady rhythm of his heart picking up as I flexed my hand.My gaze jerked up to see him watching me, the smoldering look in his eyes making my breath hitch."You're awake," I stuttered, my face flaming up as I remembered just how insane last night had been. I started to look away and gasped when his hand gripped my jaw, his russet brown eyes boring into mine."Keep your eyes on me, baby, you don't have to be shy when it's just us," he rumbled, his voice raspy.

RIVEN BLACKWOOD POV I watched Ksar limp away, then turned to face Hazel."You shouldn't have taken that risk. I told you I was going to handle it," I got out, the rhythm of my heart still out of beat.Hazel stared at me from beneath her lashes. "I'm sorry," she muttered, then raised her head, her glazy eyes crashing with mine.It was disarming. My mouth dried and I swallowed, getting lost in them.It had driven me insane watching that filthy bastard touch her and put a gun to her head. For a split second, I'd almost put a bullet into his head when I had him in my range, but then Hazel had turned the tables in a move that stole the breath right out of my lungs.I had watched her through my scope, my heart pounding in my chest as she smashed his wrist and took the gun from him. She'd taken charge like the boss she was and I couldn't help but be proud of her even though the fear that it could have ended badly lingered like a bad taste in my mouth.Hazel stepped closer, her hands splayin

HAZEL STYLES POV He leered as he approached me, the gun in his hand aimed straight at my face. "Look at those rage-filled eyes," he grinned, flicking the gun. "I can see the obsession Julian had with you now. No wonder he wanted to keep you at his side so bad even if it meant dying," he said, then paused, his eyes roaming over my face.My hands balled into fists, the urge to punch the smug look off his face overwhelming. "I should have killed you on that night fifteen years ago. You were like an itch under my skin that I couldn't get rid of no matter how hard I tried. But if there is one thing I've learned, it's that waiting and anticipating the thrill of a kill gives the same dopamine as the act itself. Also, I knew this day was going to come. I am very good at predicting things, you see."Tears of pure rage brimmed in my eyes, blurring my vision. "Fucking bastard! It isn't enough that you killed my mom and my dad—""Wrong," he shouted, cutting me off. He leaned in, his eyes boring

HAZEL STYLES POV "Wow, you look really beautiful, Hazel," Lena said as I stepped out of the house.I smiled, rubbing my sweaty palm on the sides of my dress. "Thank you, Lena." My gaze dropped to the off-the-shoulder, beautiful, short black dress I had on. "But it's a bit on the shorter side huh?"Lena nodded. "I'm actually surprised Riven let you wear this?"I grinned, rolling my eyes. "He almost didn't. You should have seen him making a fuss about how it was going to make everyone stare at me" I huffed and she laughed "You couples won't take it easy on us singles, will you?" She tsked, then pouted. "I feel so jealous."I grabbed her arm, jerking her close. "Don't be. I'm sure you're going to find your prince charming very soon.""Ugh, please, I am done searching for a prince charming. I'll take a paid vacation instead," she said, and I laughed, then let go of her. "Come on let's go, or the restaurants gonna be close before we get there."I nodded, my gaze darting to those of Riven
