All Chapters of Keeping The Mafia Princess: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Sebastian"You've provided me with excellent information recently, my friend, ensuring a firmer grip on my territory. I intend on returning the favor. Whatever you need, you can count on me." Aleksei grinned, his eyes burning with a need to hunt."Your expertise is exactly what I hoped for." I had to shut Kostya down within days or my reputation would take a hit, one that I couldn't afford."You're searching for a man named Kostya Mulin. Yes?" Aleksei asked as he swirled his drink."The very one. He betrayed my family," I answered, moving closer to the window. The view of the city was spectacular, the city lights a reminder of my time spent in Cuba. I had to push aside any thoughts about my life, embracing the fact this business was far too important. My previous phone call to the Russian had been out of necessity, another favor I hoped would be granted."He is also Bratva."I heard Aleksei's comment, knowing that it was a possibility. Still, I bristled hearing the words. "Who is he c

SebastienI remained on the outskirts as I milled through the facility, finally settling on the expansive deck outside. That's when I noticed her, a radiant beauty who outshined every other woman. My woman. My possessive nature refused to be denied, my libido soaring. Carmen was dressed elegantly in a long white dress, the slit on the side extending to just below her hip. The simple bands of gold jewelry she wore accentuated her sparkling stilettos as well as the loose bun she'd piled on top of her head. She was absolutely breathtaking and there wasn't a man on the deck who wasn't paying close attention.I'd never been a jealous man, women simply a blip in time, a respite from the arduous activities I faced every day. With her, I felt both a sense of pride as well as possession, my need to cage and consume her increasing with each passing moment.She stood leaning against the railing, peering out into the marina, very much by herself. The concept was curious and disconcerting. Was her

SebastianWhen I eased back, her eyes remained closed, her lips parted and her face shimmering from excitement."Both you and your father have enemies, Carmen. My men will guard you. As I said, you need to be a very good girl or you will be punished severely and trust me, you won't like for that to happen."She dragged her tongue across her lips, jerking back and glaring at me. "And I said. Fuck. You."I laughed softly before grabbing the keys and exiting the vehicle but just before I did, I heard her words of hatred."You will die for this."I almost wanted to see either her or her father try. "Don't allow her to leave and if she tries to garner any attention, tie her hands." My command was not to be questioned."Will do, boss," Enrique said with a grin.I adjusted my jacket and cuffs before heading into the restaurant, bypassing the hostess. I knew the location well, had enjoyed many incredible dinners. I scanned the main dining room, locating Santiago and his party easily. He eithe

CarmenI sat back, contemplating what if anything I could do. I had girlfriends in this country. I knew that they would do anything for me. All I had to do was get access to a phone. That should be easy enough.A single tear slipped past my lashes, further infuriating me. I certainly wasn't going to allow Sebastian to break me. Not now. Not ever.I turned my head, watching the two men as they bantered, their bodies animated. And they were paying absolutely no attention to me. I crawled into the driver's seat, darting my head in their direction again before slowly opening the door. I was able to slip out and latch the door without any noise. I remained crouched next to the car for a few seconds as I studied the area around me, hugging my purse close to my chest.All I had to do was get to a phone then hide, waiting for my BFF to take me the hell away from here.And the man who held my leash.Anger surfaced once again, fury at not only Sebastian's actions but being forced to accept I wa

CarmenThe doors finally opened to a beautiful lobby of what appeared to be a posh hotel. When he reached back, taking my hand, I didn't bother struggling. I knew better.The same two men who'd been commanded to protect me were heading in our direction. Sebastian remained agitated, merely pulling us out of the elevator and into the marble tiled corridor. Waiting.Planning.I could almost see the wheels in his mind spinning, plotting an attack on the perpetrator."Sorry, boss. She got away from us." The tallest man was also the most muscular, his arms covered in tattoos. He had a sheepish look on his face, as if their actions would be cause for retribution."We are going to talk about this later. Failure I will not tolerate," Sebastian said in an offhanded manner, although I heard the tinge of anger laced through the dark tone.The other soldier darted a look in both directions, clearing his throat before he spoke. "They got away."Sebastian inhaled, his body tensing. "Any information
