All Chapters of Wanted By The Mafia Lord; Attracted to the Bad Boy Nextdoor : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

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

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.

‘’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

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

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.
