Wanted By The Mafia Lord; Attracted to the Bad Boy Nextdoor Chapter 97
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

Zion’s room came into full view as I opened my eyes. I rolled slightly away from him, trying not to wake him up. I let out a small gasp of air. It had been real. I had slept with my best friend’s ex boyfriend. Shit. my eyes travelled along the ceiling. There was a large, incomplete painting of a naked woman and her lover. I looked around for my clothes. I remembered we had pulled our tops in the sitting room. I was wearing a denim jean skirt when he carried me into the room.‘’Octavia,’’ he moaned gently, reaching for my arm. I froze, hoping he would not open his eyes. It was already awkward enough that he thought I was Octavvia. I was very much aware of what was happening when he kissed me last night and I felt like dirt right now.He returned to sleep a few seconds later and I tried sliding down the bed again. The bed creaked a little but he didn’t make any movement. He was sleeping soundly. My skirt was lying at the foot of the bed, as well as my panties and bra. I grabbed

Inhaling the familiar scent of her perfume did little to put me at ease. I felt the betrayal even more. Telling her the truth at this point was more impossible than it had been a couple of minutes ago. Maybe I should have just told her over the phone. We separated from the hug and she looked at me with concern in her eyes. I darted my eyes, looking at the floor instead and i felt a flush rise in my cheeks.‘’Are you okay?’’I nodded. ‘’Where is Bree?’’ then walked into the room as she stepped in after me.‘’She’s in the car. I wanted us to talk about something privately first.’’I swallowed hard. Here it goes. ‘’Breakfast?’’‘’Wouldn’t mind some of your muffins,’’ she said, dropping on one of the chairs. ‘’I miss them so much.’’Muffins reminded me of the event of last night. I could blame her for it, use it as a defense card. If that incident had not happened, I wouldn't have gone to Zion’s house and none of this would have happened.‘’I only have coffee and some cold biscui

I heard the sound of the door closing shut as she left and I collapsed on the counter. The tears came down in torrents, and my body vibrated from the emotions of guilt and loss. I didn’t think I had done the right thing, I had done the easier thing. ‘’I’m so sorry, Octavia.’’I could never accept her forgiveness for what I had done without forgiving myself first. I was a coward too.—-‘’I’m sorry, Rose.’’My worst fears were becoming a reality. I needed to find a way to protect her from the people that may want to hurt her. I reached for her as I stepped forward.‘’Perhaps it’s best we give each other some space for now,’’ she said, her words making me freeze in my path. She was still looking out of the window, backing me.‘’Rose,’’ I started. ‘’I thought of this too. I’m concerned about your safety and I’ll -’’‘’Just stop,’’ she cut me short, raising her hand. ‘’Don’t do anything, Octavia. You’ve done enough.’’I sighed. ‘’Let me do something about this, Rose.

On the ground floor of the Da Vinci’s mansion is the security room, a compact high-tech space where security cameras from all over the town of Palmero were reviewed by select security agents. I have access to this room but I use the smaller room for briefing. The walls are adorned with maps of the estate and the surrounding area, with a small console that houses the backup security system of the mansion. No one except my father, Mikel and I know about the backup security system. The room is dimly lit and has a musty smell about it. The only light in the room is from the soft blue glows emanating from the screens. I drew out a metal chair, which scraped against the cold metal floor. This room is made of metals that are bullet proof and can survive a drone attackOli stood in front of me, her hands clasped behind her back. She has a tall and imposing figure with her dark hair cropped short. Aaron is standing beside me, stoic and unreadable.‘’I have a special mission for yo

Opening my eyes was accompanied with a pounding headache, forcing me to close them briefly and rub my forehead. My mouth was dry and felt like it was stacked with dry cottons. I rolled my head to the side, expecting to see Octavia but met the bed beside me empty. It had been a foolish dream. I sat up and felt a wave of dizziness push me to recline on the pillow. I wasn't always this hung over. Perhaps, I had taken too much alcohol last night. My memory was still hazy and I couldn't decide if it was at a bar or club.I threw the sheets away and to my dismay, I was completely naked. I sat down there, looking at my naked legs and then the pool of semen that had left a wet mark on the white sheet. It wasn’t a dream? Was Octavia really here?Despite the dizziness and headache, I pushed myself out of bed and staggered to the bathroom. ‘’Octavia?’’I flipped on the light switch and squinted at my reflection in the mirror. I looked like hell with my bloodshot eyes and my hair stickin

It happened that evening. ‘’You’ll be joining the team to restore order to the Morano family,’’ my father said, resting his elbows on the desk and watching me. I wasn’t sure if he knew what had happened that morning but I couldn’t put anything past him. ‘’You won’t be leading this operation.’’ his eyes rested gently on my face. He could tell I would be displeased. ‘’Lorenz will lead this, but you’ll be there as his superior.’’I frowned. How was I supposed to be a superior and not lead?He picked his cigar and hit the butt on the ashtray. ‘’This is not a show of lack of confidence, Octavia. I want you to observe things tonight because you will be leading a very important mission soon.’’I nodded.He lifted the cigar to his mouth and drew in some smoke. I loved the smell of the cigar and perhaps I was going to try it someday.‘’Any questions?’’‘’None.’’He coughed a little and reached for a cognac that was already poured in a glass cup, which he finished in a gulp. He was

‘’That was the worst sideline in the history of sidelines,’’ he said, looking at me with disapproval in his eyes. ‘’I could address it on your behalf, but that would make you even look weaker.’’My eyes burned with rage. ‘’Don’t think you get to speak to me in such manner, Aaron.’’He looked like he wanted to say something but decided otherwise. He pulled out a bullet proof vest and threw it over my head, centering the front panel. He tugged at the straps until they fit snugly around my body, then handed me a fatigue shirt which I threw over the vest.I looked at him. As usual, he had refused to take a vest. After this mission, Aaron was going to get a rebriefing from me, and an equal punishment for disobeying my orders. We stepped out and walked into the car where Lorenz was already seated. Aaron sat in front and I sat at the back beside him.He stretched a handgun towards me. I looked at it and refused to collect it.‘’What is this?’’ I snapped.‘’For your protection.’’

‘’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,
