All Chapters of Indebted To The Cruel Mafia Boss: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Chapter 62Cephus' POVIt has been almost twenty-four hours since I checked on katie. I force myself to stay busy with business, but it does me no good. I barely slept last night, fighting with myself not to go downstairs and get her. I wanted her to sleep in my bed… where she belongs.“She’s demanding that we release her,” Felix explains, entering my office. I don’t look up from my computer.“Nothing new.” For the past few hours, she has done nothing but demand to be released, which lets me know she hasn’t learned anything yet. I’m not sure if she thought she would get away with what she did, but this will teach her otherwise.“She screams and cries every time I go down there.” There is a sappiness to his words, and when I finally look up, he looks kind of heartbroken.“When did you grow a heart?” I joke. This is not like him. Felix has been one of the most ruthless of my family friends. That’s why he is still here, and no one else is. In this business, you can’t bless someone with

Chapter 64Cephus’ POVShe’s sad, broken, and confused, and leaving her here is the last thing I want to do, but in the grand scheme of things, I haven’t a fucking clue as to what to do with her.I take the stairs two at a time, and at the top, Felix greets me to give me a report.“What happened?” I furiously demand. I’m back in mob boss mode.“Someone jumped the fence in the back yard. The silent alarm went off,” Felix explains, his eyes never leaving mine.“To the office. I can’t believe you weren’t watching the fucking cameras,” I growl. There should be no reason to need me, I train these men to deal with these issues.“We were, sir, we didn’t see—”“Then you go out there and check it out. There isn’t any reason you should need me unless you don’t have the situation under control?” I question him, wondering if he really has the situation under control. Luccio’s words ring in my ears to watch my back, to protect myself.“Sir…” Felix tries to get in, but I turn on him. Grabbing his

Chapter 66Katie's POVFor now, I will have to deal with it. It doesn’t stop me from wondering what my mom would think, though.What is my father doing right now? My heart tightens as I think of him all alone. Will Cephus let me call him eventually? Let me check up on him? Will Cephus ever let me go? Doubts swarm me, fear owns me, and courage is the only thing keeping me going.I burrow myself into my blanket as I let the uncertainties eat away at me. I can’t run, but I can’t accept my life here either.There is only one other option I can see right now. I have to take him out before he can take me out. I have to kill Cephus. That’s the only way I can get away and make my father safe. My heart rate skyrockets at the mere thought of shooting him, it isn’t fair that he can point a gun at me and feel nothing. Just thinking about killing someone–taking Cephus’s life–makes me sick to my stomach.A clicking sound startles me as the door to my cell opens. Eli walks inside, looking like he w

Chapter 68Katie’s POVThe maid brought clean clothes and soap to wash up in the sink every day, but that’s not the same.Heading to the bathroom, I strip out of my clothes and take a hot shower. The water feels wonderful, and after, I feel a hell of a lot cleaner than before. I dry off and wrap a towel around myself before leaving the fogged-up bathroom to walk to the closet.My clothes are still there, neatly folded, and hung up as if I’ve been here all along. Dropping the towel, I dress in one of the silky pajama sets.I really don’t want to fucking care about him or care about whatever he’s doing. Except, as I crawl into his bed, all I can do is see him, smell him, taste him. I feel the weight of his body on mine, his lips on my skin, and relish the passion and fire he stokes within me.As soon as I close my eyes, I hear laughter from somewhere in the house. Someone is talking loudly, then laughing again. Footsteps follow suit. The sounds come closer, and I sit up. One final femi

Chapter 70Katie's POVI turn my head slightly to look at him. He is standing a few feet away, but it’s already too close to comfort. The small hairs on the back of my neck are raised, making me feel like a cat getting ready to fight—a cat fighting a grizzly bear.“I’ll check on it later, but since you are here. Would you like to explain why you let Katie out of her cell without my approval?” Cephus’s voice is casual, though this situation is anything but. My pulse picks up, waiting for this to unfold.“Is that what she told you happened?” Eli raises his eyebrow, faking a shocked expression.I knew it, I knew he would fucking turn this around on me, and Cephus is going to believe him. He’ll take his side, no matter what.“If it’s not, please, enlighten me.”“I went to check on her and brought her food. When she grabbed the tray, she surprised me by kicking me in the balls and running out the door.”I’m fuming. I’m so fucking mad, I want to gouge his eyes out. I have to bite the inside
