Wanted By The Mafia Lord; Attracted to the Bad Boy Nextdoor Chapter 90
NARRATOR'S POV Mikel’s fists collided with Cyro’s face over and over again, each blow more forceful than the last. Cyro staggered backwards several times and Mikel still followed after, the young man barely managed to stand upright. His face was battered and bleeding but Mikel's rage is far from appeased. His voice sounded like a low growl as he grabbed Cyro by the shirt and slammed him against the wall. “You had one job!” Mikel barked, his voice echoing in the dimly lit room. “Kill Octavia and that damned bodyguard of hers. And yet, here you are, crawling back to me like a useless dog while she roams around more alive than ever.”Cyro groaned, wiping blood from his split lip. “I’m sorry sir... I—”“Sorry?” Mikel interrupted, his fury boiling over as he landed a vicious punch to Cryo’s stomach, sending the younger man crumpling to the floor. “Do you think sorry is good enough? Do you even realize what’s at stake here? If Lionel catches wind of my plans, if he even suspects what I’m u

Chapter 75I spent most of the day in my room, ruminating over what Mikel had said to me. Something about him gave me the creeps and I knew that I could always trust my guts. Bree said he was my father’s right hand man, his most trusted in the business, but I saw something else in his eyes. There was something that warned me to watch my back whenever he was around.Bree arrived in my room just as I finished dressing up. I was trying to study a book about how the businesses run when she arrived with a tray of cookies. She kicked the door close with her feet and approached the hammock chair.‘’Are you feeling okay?’’ she asked, watching me. ‘’Everyone seems to be in such a terrible mood today.’’I forced a smile. ‘’Is that breakfast?’’She groaned slightly as she lifted herself onto the chair with her hands still holding the tray. ‘’I knew you wouldn’t come for some, so I brought mum’s cookies. You can’t say no to these.’’I crossed my legs in front of me and tucked my feet u

As I looked at her, I wondered if she knew the details of what I went through those six years with Axel. I knew my dad had all the information but it would be so embarrassing if Bree knew too. I returned my gaze to the garden that was just outside my window. I loved this new life that I had, and the power and respect that came with it. I would do anything to make sure it remained mine.Bree sighed deeply. ‘’The flowers are beautiful. I've never had any reason to look at them for this long.’’I met her smiling face and I smiled too. ‘’I’m sorry. I’m not always this gloomy.’’We walked back to the bed. She took my hand and ran her finger over the scar on it. ‘’I hope the mafia doesn’t eventually take you away from me, Octavia.’’ she dropped my hand gently. ‘’I mean, I love the life. I love the house, the clothes, everything but i get scared sometimes.’’I listened. Something had definitely come over her. I wasn’t sure if it was because of her brother's injury or the fact that

I looked better than I had imagined. I ran my fingers between the short bob of hair that bounced as I did. My hair was dyed black with some streaks of green that highlighted my emerald eyes. I swayed my head, enjoying the freedom that came with two thirds of my hair volume gone. Even Bree was impressed.‘’It came out better than I had hoped. You do look good.’’ Her hair was wrapped inside a plastic bag and she had a mask or some sort on her face.‘’What does my new look remind you of?’’‘’A bird,’’ she laughed.She was right. ‘’A raven bird,’’ I said.She hummed, her index finger resting on her chin. ‘’Not what i had in mind, but that works too.’’I sat on the free sofa beside her. ‘’I’m changing my name, bree. I’ll be Black raven from now on.’’ I looked at her. ‘’But you can call me Raven for short.’’She looked amused. ‘’You are doing a pretty good job at transforming your identity, Raven. I like the name. It has the ominous appeal to it.’’I bought a lot of clothes in di

She didn’t seem to be joking. I creased my brows. ‘’Why?’’ ‘’Some things can’t remain the same, Bree.’’ She bent in front of the vanity, admiring her new haircut. She tucked some of the short hair on one side behind her ears and let the hair on the other side fall to frame her face a little. With her skinny stature, she looked like a young boy. A very handsome one. She faced me, her eyes softening, almost begging me to understand her. ‘’I’ll have a lot of enemies because of the mafia, Bree. They won’t get me easily but they’ll hurt people I know. Rose is one of them.’’ She slumped on the bed and crossed her legs. ‘’I won’t forgive myself if something happens to her.’’I nodded, understanding her fully. ‘’We still have to say goodbye though. We can’t just leave without letting her know.’’‘’It’ll be easier on a phone call. I won’t see the way her heart would break when I tell her goodbye.’’I sat beside her, momentarily forgetting the excitement of trying out my new clothes.

Her eyes were closed and her lips were parted slightly. She was making a gentle moaning sound that was sending my skin crawling. ‘’Are you alright?’’ She turned slowly at me and smiled as though I had given her the best compliment of the year. ‘’Wanna find out?’’ she asked.I was in the process of ignoring her, raising my book back to my face when her hand brushed against it, sending it flying to the bed. Before I could recover from that shock, her hands encircled my neck and she drew me towards her. I felt her lips touch mine, then it took it, possessing iit did something to me. It was an emotion I had never felt before. I sat still as she continued with her assault, drawing me closer still and invading my mouth.She pulled away a few seconds later, her cheeks red with embarrassment. ‘’I’m -’’ she started to say, then decided to twist her fingers instead which she was watching with half attention. I picked my book and raised it to my face. I knew when she stood up from t

‘’Chin down, just a little. Eyes up.’’I crouched behind the camera, my eyes fixed on the model. She was a stunning woman with full lips and a bone penetrating stare. ‘’Let’s get that sultry gaze,’’ I said, clicking the shutters.The pictures were perfect. I knew she was a fashion magazine product from the first day I had seen her. ‘’Let’s get a profile shot.’’She turned her head to the side and I raised my camera. My finger hovered over the shutter button, waiting for the perfect moment.‘’Beautiful.’’I walked away from the platform, reviewing the images. I already knew what to do with each of them. I hunched over my laptop, scrutinizing the details.‘’Hey, Zion.’’ I felt her hands on my shoulders. ‘’How is the review going?’’Without looking up, I said, ‘’Good. You are very stunning.’’ Complementing models when they came for a shoot was part of my job, but there was no lie here. This woman was breathtakingly stunning.She leaned in, her voice dropping to a sultry whisper

My mind was a jumble of adrenaline, thoughts of the bullet ripping through my chest or my head running. I tried to reach for my phone with my shaky hands. I found it in the back pocket of my jeans. I could still see the man standing outside, watching us. He was not working alone. Someone had crashed the windows in the kitchen, and put off the lights.Rose’s terrified gaze met mine and she mouthed something I couldn’t hear. My heart was pounding loudly and I could almost hear my blood rushing behind my ears. My fingers closed around my phone and I yanked it out with a jerky motion. I had emergency on speed dial, and I immediately rang it. The man in black still had his masked face pressed against the glass. I was expecting the person responsible for the crash in the kitchen to walk in at any moment and put a bullet through our skulls.‘’Hello. What’s your emergency?’’I pressed the phone to my ear, crawling away under the mask of the slight darkness in the room. Rose followed

‘’Who are you?’’Lucas Conti. I smiled. Who would have thought I would meet one of the world’s billionaires and a rumored womaniser today. It was such a shame that I was smelling like sardine, but I could still do something with what I had.I dropped the photo in my hand and walked towards him, slowly and seductively. I stretched my hands towards him.‘’Grace Miller. I’m waiting for the manager.’’He took my hands and I held his eyes. Seducing men was not something that needed the right time if one was an expert. I rubbed my finger on his hand and I made the handshake linger for just the right amount of time.‘’Grace,’’ he said, the tone of his voice dropping to familiar levels. ‘’Are you a guest in our hotel?’‘’Well,’’ I said. ‘’I could be your guest.’’His face broke into a smile. I had him charmed. The manager stepped in just then. Wrong timing. I mean, he could have remained lost in his quest for water.‘’Good afternoon, sir,’’ he stammered. ‘’I wasn’t aware you were aro

I closed my eyes as we moved farther and farther away from the mansion. The roaring sound of the motor bikes did not help the turmoil I felt inside. I was leaving everything I had worked so hard for in the last few years. But i was not accepting defeat yet. I would be back.I will come back for my son. For what is mine and give everyone what is due.Diego had succeeded in killing most of the men that were loyal to me, and even as I sat on the bike clutching myself, I wasn't sure who was for me anymore. It was a big risk I was taking and I hoped it would be worth it all. For the sake of those who had died on the path to my ambition. For Lorenz’s sake.I reach for my thigh, tapping it. The pressure of the knife against my skin reminded me that I was not unarmed. We were leaving the city. I was being taken to a neighbouring town a few hours from Palmero. There I would stay under the radar, until Diego was gotten rid of. I would also try to make the necessary liaison with all the

My phone was buzzing in my pocket continuously. I had placed it on DND, so the call had to have been persistent for it to be vibrating in my pocket. I glanced at the large screen and then at Lucas who was seated on the seat just beside the investors. He smiled encouragingly at me. Today was the big day. The day I presented our beautiful project.He said it was just for formalities. The people who mattered had seen the presentation privately and they loved it. I was still nervous though and the continuous vibrations in my pocket were compounding it.The presentation was over in twenty minutes. The smiles on their faces and the warm and firm handshakes told me all I needed to know.Lucas slapped my shoulders warmly. ‘’You did good. I was impressed. This calls for some wine.’’We were going to get featured on the front pages of the business papers and on the headlines of the business news. It was finally an opportunity to prove to Nile and my father that I could make a meaningfu

Before I could scream, I heard hurried footsteps approaching the room and the door flung open instantly.‘’It’s urgent,’’ the first man said. I could see what he couldn’t say in his eyes.I pointed at the monitor. ‘’Get the doctor here fast.’’Two of them hurried out of the room. ‘’The doctor is trying to save your father,’’ the first man said.‘’Save? What happened?’’‘’He went into cardiac arrest.’’I felt blood seeping out of my head and I swooned. He caught me just in time. The nurse was arriving as I was being held.‘’The monitor,’’ I said to her. She hurried to his side, and I was ushered out of the room. That feeling of desolation overpowered me once again. I had not felt that since I left Axel’s whore house, but now I was at the brink of losing everything I cherished.When I got to father’s room, I stood outside observing through the door as the doctor tried to revive his heart with the defibrillator. I clenched my hand into a fist. What had gone wrong? Someone had

I watched her face turn pale as she read the report in her hand. ‘’Is this real?’’ She looked up at me.I nodded. ‘’I don’t think he knows.’’A sad smile spread on her face. ‘’What a horrible way to finally find your brother, Octavia. I mean, we all thought he died in the fire. Same way we thought you did.’’There was a knock on the door and we quickly put the document away. ‘’Come in,’’ aunt Elena said. I had been sleeping in her room since the incident the previous day.A maid walked in. “Good morning, ma’am,’’ she said. ‘’Did you sleep well?’’‘’I did.’’It was the maid who looked after her room. ‘’I came to ask if you needed anything this morning, ma’am.’’‘’Not at all,’’ she responded.‘’Coffee?’’‘’That’s fine.’’I waited until she was gone for a minute before I spoke. ‘’We can’t trust any of the new staff right now. They were all employed by Rory, and we don’t know who is with her or not.’’‘’Rory needs to be arrested, and made to confess.’’I nodded in agreement. W

She didn’t budge. She remained calm and determined. ‘’You are trying to save the life of a man that should have been killed on the spot. How wicked can one be?’’‘’We need to find out who he’s working with,’’ she said. ‘’Until then, no one touches him. His punishment is at my disposal.’’She walked away and I bit my lips. The plan was crashing. Sylvester had shot the wrong person, Octavia was still alive and she had my necklace. Now, Sylvester was going to be tortured until he confessed. I wondered how strong he would be. I had to do something.I found Mikel in his office. He was startled to see me. I could tell he was expecting me. He had that look in his face.‘’I’m in trouble, Mikel,’’ I said. ‘’I need your help.’’He glared at me. ‘’What were you thinking? We had a plan. A good one. You abandoned it for some no good riff raff.’’‘’Mikel..’’‘’I know you were sleeping with him,’’ he said, anger attempting to boil over the surface. ‘’I can’t help you right now.’’I moved f

I found aunt Elena in her room. She was startled by the expression on my face.‘’You look like you have seen a ghost,’’ she said, straightening her dress.‘’I think I have,’’ I replied. I walked in and sat on her bed. She was looking at me with concern. ‘’Did Rory catch you snooping around?’’ she asked. ‘’I couldn’t hold her for so long.’’I shook my head. ‘’No.’’ I reached for my bra and pulled out the necklace. She gasped. ‘’Where did you find it?’’‘’Her room. She hid it on the chandelier all this time,’’ I said. ‘’How could she..’’ She stood up. ‘’I have to report this immediately. ‘’I lost my trusted maid of over ten years because of this lying woman.’’I shushed her and asked her to sit down. ‘’That’s not the problem now, aunt,’ i said.‘’What is?’’I leaned closer to her. ‘’Sylvester.’’ I lowered my voice, scared that the room was being tapped. ‘’He’s not who he says he is. His name is not Sylvester Munroe. The real person is dead.’’Her mouth fell open but no sou

I had just gotten off a call with Lucas Conti and was enjoying a martini when I was told someone wanted to see me. I was clad in nothing but a towel and I was in no mood to see anyone. It was a beautiful day. Our project had passed the second phase of approval and it was ready to be opened in the Netherlands. Then the Americas and the United Kingdom.‘’She gave her name as Rose, sir,’’ the uniformed lady said and instantly the martini turned sour in my throat.Rose? It had been almost two weeks since our meeting in Amsterdam. I’d not forgotten the allegations she made against my business partner, but I had tossed them under the carpet. I was not going to allow his personal matters stop me from making money. It was the only thing that brought me happiness now. I was very unfortunate with love.‘’Ask her to come in,’’ I said, taking off my sunglasses. ‘’She can wait in the guest sitting room.’’‘’Yes, sir.’’I sipped a little more of the martini before rising from the mat.

My phone buzzed again.It had been going off like that for the past ten minutes. Soft, insistent vibrations against my hip, each one a ripple in the still waters of Aunt Elena’s very long, very detailed baby-bathing tutorial.She was standing over the bath, her sleeves rolled up, a calm, patient smile on her face as she cradled the baby in her arms for the third demonstration that afternoon. Not a drop of water splashed. Everything about her was precise, delicate, practiced.“And always keep your hand under the neck,” she said gently, as though I hadn’t already memorized every movement. “They’re so small, you see? You have to make them feel safe.”“I see,” I murmured, though my mind was far from here. The phone buzzed again. I didn’t need to look at it. I already knew who it was. Sylvester. His calls were never this persistent. If he was calling this much, something was wrong.Still, I couldn’t just step away. Not from Aunt Elena. She wasn’t the kind of woman you interrupted,
