All Chapters of Wanted By The Mafia Lord; Attracted to the Bad Boy Nextdoor : Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

The VIP lounge was completed, and the launch was that morning. It was a dream come true but it saddened me because it would always remind me of Thomas Storm, and give him a sort of access to my life. I haven't seen him since that day I left his house, running out in shame. He had tried to reach me on the phone on several occasions but I was unyielding. It was best this way. I could never fit in his circle. The embarrassment I caused him was plastered in black ink on the morning news the following day. There was a picture of me, with wine poured on my dress as I ran out of the house. It was a horrible picture but the story that followed was even more horrible.I was called a gold digger who was trying to mess up with the marriage between Thomas and his ex wife. I was labelled as the reason for their break up. Her followers online found my social handles and I was called all sorts of names. I received threat messages. My business was included in the name calling and people wer

I was seated beside my father, listening to the reports from the different heads of operations. ‘’Volkov reached out to me again, and he wants us to consider putting negotiations on the table,’’ Vinnie said, addressing the table.There was silence as everyone contemplated the information.‘’What does he want?’’ Sal hissed from across the table. ‘’We have ceased any operation on that end.’’I looked at my father. His face was neutral. Losing partnership with Volkov had been detrimental to business on our side too and the Australians were not easy to please.‘’’He just wants discussions,’’ Vinnie continued. ‘’Nothing definite yet. Are we open to discussion, boss?’’ he faced dad.‘’Volkov has lost our trust, vInnie. However, it’s been two years. Perhaps he has learnt his lessons. He is welcome to Palmero to discuss whenever he is ready,’’ he said.Most of the men on the table did not know how much Volkov had hurt the family. I still remembered how humiliated I was leaving Mo

The party was in full swing when I walked in. I slumped on the chair beside my brother and pulled him into an embrace.‘’Happy birthday, Nile,’’ I said to him.It had been over a year since we spoke last after the argument that followed me leaving his house. I had avoided him, and moved into a new city where I hoped he would not be able to find me. I wasn’t sure if he eventually did, but I hadn't seen him since that day.‘’I’m so glad you could make it,’’ he said, grinning from ear to ear. ‘’How was your flight?’’I shrugged. ‘’Not bad.’’ I looked around. Miranda was not there. I had read about their separation on the news and because of the triangle between us, I had not asked him.‘’She isn’t here,’’ he said, reading my mind. He crossed his legs. ‘’It isn’t the first time she had thrown tantrums and left. She’ll be back.’’He was so confident about it that it irritated me. ‘’I know I shouldn't be saying this, Nile. But you should treat her better,’’ I said. The waiter arriv

I looked around me for help. Then in an instant, I fell to my knees and placed my ears to his chest. He was still breathing. I couldn’t find any obvious injury to him. There was only a half finished glass of wine in front of him. Was his drink spiked?I tapped him gently, in fast successions. ‘’Zion? Zion!’’No response.I lifted him off the floor and threw him on the chair, undoing his buttons and loosening his belt. I noticed that his phone and wallet were missing from his pocket. It was likely that his drink had been spiked and he was robbed in the process.‘’You foolish man.’’ I laughed gently.I reached for my phone and called Aaron. ‘’I need you on the veranda,’’ I said, still watching the rise and fall of his chest.When Aaron arrived, we decided that I didn't want to go in search of Nile, and we couldn’t leave him there. So we concluded on taking him to a safer location.There was a hotel just across the road. I knew the hotel but I had never used their services. W

She pulled away from me slowly and turned back to the window.‘’How long do i have to keep on saving your ass?’’ she asked, a small smile on her face. I ran my fingers over my hair. ‘’What happened? I can’t seem to remember anything,’’ I said, walking to the breakfast tray. There was sausages, eggs, bacon and some toast bread with chocolate drink. I was really hungry.‘’I found you sitting on your chair, unconscious,’’ she said, turning around to look at me. ‘’I don’t understand how someone can be seated and unconscious.’’I let out a laugh, a piece of sausage in my mouth. “I was having a drink while I waited for you. A lady came to join me. I think she put something in my drink,’’ I said.“The same lady I saw you kissing?” she asked.I crossed my arms on my chest. “So you had seen me when you walked in.’’ I laughed. “Unfortunately, i don’t know her. And I don't know how this would not make me even look worse.”“I’m not bothered about that,” she said, walking to the tray and
