All Chapters of Becoming the Forbidden Possession of the Mafia Boss: Chapter 11 - Chapter 17

Adrian's PovIt wasn't until we arrived at the estate that Nikolai told me the engagement dinner was being held here.Immediately I got out of the car, I quickly checked for any notification but it seems Leonardo had failed to notify me of my own engagement.Finding out about my engagement from someone was one thing, but from Nikolai was a kind of mockery. “Are you going to show me around?” He said curtly but I rolled my eyes at him.“Help yourself.” I grabbed the shopping bags and left him standing there.The front garden was being used for the party. A whole decor was put in place, even the most prominent figures in the country were present.The scent of fresh lilies and expensive cologne tangled in the breeze, while golden fairy lights shimmered along the hedges, casting dreamy reflections on guests' polished shoes. Waiters glided by with silver trays of smoked salmon canapés and champagne, and beneath the carefully curated elegance, all I could think about was how pretentious the

Adrian's POV He wasn't speaking.He couldn't even say from where he knew me.Was it a mere joke or perhaps a threat? I know how conscious I was every time I went to the club in the past.“Are you scared?” He giggled“You haven't said anything. Why should I be scared?” “But you've seen me before…” He wrapped his hands around me and then whispered in my ears, “At the clubpink.”Clubpink?My eyes widened and I froze in place.The place I used to escape to when I couldn’t take Leonardo's constant need of belittlement. I always wore a mask. No one would know it was me. I tried grabbing his wrist but he was stronger than I expected. “What do you want?”“I will let you know.” He whispered and then looked at me, drawing his face close at my lips.”Without hesitation, his lips crashed into mine—rough, unwanted. My chest tightened. I shoved him back with all the force I had, breath ragged.When I tried getting off the bed, he turned me over, causing my feet to lose balance and I fell on the

Adrian's PovEveryone's gaze was fixed on me, waiting for the apology.My chances were already slim if not distraught.My eyes sank, and after carefully counting the loss, I tightened my fist.But there was no way I'd apologize to Nikolai.Forcing my feet forward, I lowered my head and muttered to Gabriel, “I'm sorry.”“I'm not the one who is offended, Adrian. Why apologize to me?”“Because you had to witness this, and it's Isabelle who I've greatly disappointed.”There was a pregnant silence, one that only caused my body to freeze in position. My eyes were lowered to the ground, not until Leonardo's voice thundered in the hallway- “What about Mr. Nikolai? Isn't he the one you've offended?”I scoffed and looked at him, “If Nikolai agrees that he is offended, then he should ask for an apology.”“Oh…” Gabriel had a sly smile on his face.“I wonder if Nikolai was offended?” Nikolai walked closer, in hand with Isabelle and without sparing me a glance, he muttered.“Adrian will be disci

Adrian's PovThe tires screeched as we arrived at the church.I looked out the window, staring at the people hurrying inside the church.But the only words ringing in my head, was Leonardo's.“Mess this up, and I will kill you before the Mancini's get to you.”Threats have started feeling like nothing, who the hell told them I was scared of dying?I clenched hand on the locket in my hands. It had a picture of my mother and on this day, I couldn't help but think about her more.She had asked me once about the kind of wedding I'd love to have. Even at the time, I had no idea. Back then- I couldn't give her a response, all I wanted then was to give her a better life.I have never imagined to have any wedding, not a single partner I met, ever made me imagined what it would be like. Not even as a child did I fantasize about fairytales like that.So sitting here, and waiting to be called on felt more like a task, as it should. A low moan escaped from my lips and I took in a deep breathe
