All Chapters of THE MAFIA KING'S TRAP. : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

BREA POV.I woke up to thick darkness and when I flexed my wrist, I couldn't get it to move in any direction I panicked, my breath coming out in short gasps as I tried to seat up to no avail. The bastard! How dare he treat me this way.The darkness made me more frantic and my tongue weighed like a brick in my mouth.I licked my lips which were parched and got out the first muffled word I could utter_ a stupid cry for help that just bounced off the walls. My own voice sounded foreign in my ears and I struggled to swallow, as the panic I'd tried to reign in surged to the surface. I hated the dark, hated it more when I was tied down and vulnerable. How long was I out? And what did Nicolai do in that time frame? My mind ran rampant, assuming only the worst. Did he kill Ryder already or was he waiting for me to wake up, so he could carry out his threat? It was frustrating. One minute I was left all by myself, and the next, I was being tortured by the fucking psychopath for things that m

LUCAS POVXavier was dead. The news was a shock and I could still feel the tremors of it. The damned stupid bastard. I wondered if he even put up much of a fight... But really, no one could fight Nicolai, no matter how powerful, and I should have known that and not gotten entangled with Xavier's plan when I doubted how successful it was going to be from the beginning. Mostly I had been more worried about him stabbing me in the back because every time we met alone, I made myself vulnerable to attack. The bastard should have just listened to what I told him at our last meeting. I'd warned him to let go of the casino and he'd assured me that he wasn't going to push through with acquiring it, but he'd gone ahead to cross paths with Nicolai, thinking that the information I provided him was enough to outwit Nicolai. I should have known he would do something like this since he always wanted to compete with Nicolai, and yet he was the one who had everything to lose. And if there was one thin

BREA POVI knew I pissed him off and the sudden quietness that enveloped me after his threat made me feel nauseous but there was nothing to throw up. He'd been starving me for three days- it felt more like a week to me- and I was so drained, I could hardly move about.I hated him, and if he wanted me to feed his ego after what he did to me then he had another thing coming. He'd left me all alone for what felt like forever, and the voice in my head had gotten quieter the longer the time-stretched. I was sure it could see that I was right all along. Nicolai was not the hero but the villain. I stared at him and he raised the bottle he was holding up to my eye level. The fire in his eyes as he opened the bottle of water made my gut clench. Was he going to let me drink or would he pour it all over me? I knew he could. There was nothing he couldn't do when he got pissed off, and I was a hundred percent sure I had made him mad with my words. I knew I was staring at the water desperately bu

BREA POV.The scent of different types of dishes wafted to my nose lulling me awake. Then Consciousness returned, accompanied by the weight of reality crashing in. I could feel the ache between my thighs even before I opened my eyes. My whole body ached and all I wanted to do was just lie down and never get up, despite how hungry I was. I was no longer in the basement, which was a relief. Nicolai was also not in the room.I sat up sharply and gasped as pain twinged up my side, and I knew without checking that it was the spot where Nicolai had carved into before he fucked me into oblivion.He was intense, even for me. If he was going to always be that ferocious then I might really die before he decided to cut me up.He'd taken my virginity- I still remembered the sight of blood... So much blood - and just like he said, my body couldn't forget him. Not that I'll ever tell him. I didn't want to watch him gloat about it for god knows how long. Pushing the blanket that covered me aside,

NICOLAI POV.Brea stepped into the torture chamber cautiously, her eyes widening when she saw the prisoners chained to the wall. She whirled to face me, her gaze colliding with mine, and I grinned because I saw no judgment in them. Instead, something akin to interest flared in their depth and the fire she ignited in my blood burned to a fever pitch. Fucking perfect. I was going to keep her, even though she kept trying to run away from me, but I didn't mind. I loved to chase, so she could run all she want, but at the end of the day, I'll catch her and put her in her place_ by my side where she belonged. Brea didn't even know it, but she served as a god-damned temptation at every turn.My eyes were always straying in her direction and I wanted to take her again, and again, and again until we both couldn't move. But I held back. The blush on her face, while I'd trapped her in the bathroom had been cute, and the quiver in her voice as she told me to stop, was so devastatingly sexy, it s
