POV Katarina That devil man! Oh I was so upset with him. He is such a horn dog. He would not leave me alone last night. His hands were all over me and the things he did oh my. I am blushing thinking about it but still he's a horn dog devil man! I can't believe one night and my reputation went out the window. We hadn't even known each other that long. Am I that easy? I held myself to such self control, such poise and now I am ruined. " Katarina, I have some ensembles for you to try on when you are ready." I slowly opened the door to the bathroom and peered out. I had my hair in a towel and another wrapped around my body. Cautiously I inched out the door. It looked like he was gone. I let out a breath of relief. " So you are the infamous Katarina also known as Sofia." I turned around to see a very beautiful blonde sitting on the bed. Once I got closer she stood up and walked up to me smiling. " Wow, YOU ARE a goddess. Just as Alejandro said." Alejandro called me a goddess? I trie
POV AlejandroI didn't like having to leave her today, but when my men said they had found him, I had to go meet him. If he was the one who hurt her, I would make sure he paid in his blood. As the limousine pulled up into his driveway, my men were posted outside standing watch. Pedro had already paid off his neighbor and the man was happy to leave for the weekend.As I exited the car and walked up the broken walkway and into the shabby house, a thought occurred: she used to live there. She frequented this walkway, walked in these doors, sat on this run down furniture, and it broke my heart. I walked past pictures on the wall that hung of a beautiful young Katarina and proceeded to the basement. He was tied to a chair, his body slumped over as he had been severely beaten by my men. I grabbed a chair and straddled it, facing him." So you haven't followed my rules, Mister Tomas. That alone infuriates me fiercely, but it's not the real reason that I am here."He lifted his head, his eyes
POV KatarinaAfter he left, Isadora came back and she showed me around. As we passed by the kitchen, an older woman who resembled Isadora came rushing to me and pulled me into a tight hug. I could hardly breathe. I just stood still. Isadora laughed and gave me a reassuring smile that made me relax." Aren't you a vision," Looking at Isadora, the older blonde looked back at me again. " Isn't she beautiful, Isadora?" She grabbed my hands and spun me around. I felt quite silly but did as she wanted. " Wow, my son has finally found his Katarina, also known as Sofia." She winked at me. My eyes widened. Did everyone know about our first meeting? But, why would a murdering mafia boss spend such time discussing trivial things as our first time meeting?The older woman who introduced herself as Maria, was indeed Alejandro's mother and my future mother-in-law. She spent the rest of the afternoon with Isadora and I getting myself ready for tonight's festivities. Apparently, Alejandro had been pl
POV Katarina Later in the evening... The whole family was seated at the table when Isadora and I entered the room. Alejandro had gone all out, the tables were set with expensive linens and china. There were crystal wine glasses and a canister of wine along with pineapple juice for myself with coconut milk. Alejandro had been talking to Pedro when he saw me and made his way towards me. I swallowed when I saw him, he looked like he was modeling for a magazine. His dark brown hair was slicked back and his goatee nicely trimmed. He was wearing another Armani suit but it was navy blue pinned striped. He was wearing a white shirt with a blue tie and pocket square. He grabbed my waist and pulled me close to him, placing his hand on the small of my back. He led me to the table where his seat was to the right of his father's. He helped me to my seat next to his, of course, then sat down. As soon as he sat down, his hand was on my thigh under the table drawing circles on my skin. He leaned
POV Alejandro After dinner, my father and I along with some of his business partners and some of the family, went to the parlor to discuss the preparations for the up-coming wedding. We were still waiting for Javier, who said he was picking up his date. We all knew that meant a stop at a hotel before he would arrive, so we decided to start the meeting instead of waiting for him. Javier was known as always being late to everything because he wasn't a serious businessman. That was one reason my father decided to give me time to find Katarina and execute my plan. Only we three, my father Elsavador, Pedro, my Amico and most trusted man, and myself knew of the details to the plan. No one else was trusted. " Has she signed the contract yet?" My uncle Fernando asked while he lit up a cigar. He didn't think I would even find her or, should I say, didn't want me to find her. He had a girl he wanted to arrange for me and a bet of fifty thousand that I wouldn't find her. Of course, when Pedro
POV KatarinaI woke up to the splash of ice-cold water on my body and I jerked awake. Every joint in my body aches. I'm cold, I'm hungry, I'm tired, I'm scared, just to say a few of the feelings I was experiencing at that moment. After my run in with Javier in the garden, he injected me with something in my neck and then I woke up there. I don't know where I am or what they want but the appearance of vitriol towards me was evident. I could see the malice in his eyes, he would kill me. I don't exactly know who the woman is who is with him. Her voice sounded vaguely familiar, but she too seemed to hate me with equal abhor. What did I do to deserve such treatment?" Are you awake, little bitch? It's time for your meal." She snapped her fingers in my face. Why she hated me so much I have no clue but she and Javier were in cahoots together and I knew that whatever they had planned wasn't going to be good for me. " You's deaf or something? I was just talking to you." She talked with a
POV AlejandroAlthough I didn't feel right about letting Mateo help us, I really was at my whits end. It had been two days since she was taken and we still didn't have any leads. Meaning while Mateo was able to get some information, in an abandoned warehouse where a man working off the pier heard some noises coming from, so we are there right now. Entering in, we could tell that there had been someone staying there. We saw an ashtray that had cigarettes still burning. Walking through the area, we heard noises and all of us cocked our guns. Slowly moving throughout the area, we looked around. The noises continued to get louder and led us to a backroom where we could hear constant arguing going on. Sven, quickly kicking the door in, pointed his gun at the two people arguing; a man and woman who were arguing over some food. They were transients. The man looked like he had been digging around in the trash for the morsels and some scraps of bread they were both eating. Both of them were el
POV Alejandro We were in the meeting room awaiting my father and uncle when my phone rang and my sister's name lit up in bold letters: Isadora King. I slid my phone to answer and she was on the other line crying. " Isadora, what's the matter? Why are you crying?" There was a long pause and then I heard some people talking in the background. Of course , I wasn't sure who or what was going on. Isadora wasn't answering. There was still silence and I was getting anxious. " Isadora? ISADORA!" Finally I heard her sigh. " S-Sorry, Alejandro. I was just talking to the medical staff. She's here, Alejandro.Katarina is here and she's alive." She's alive. "I'm on my way, tell me where you're at." I held my hand over the receiver and Pedro looked at me. " She's alive." Mateo was the first to react to the news. " Thank God!" I listened as Isadora gave me the address and Pedro, Diego, and myself headed out. I had to see her and hold her in my arms. I had to find out who was behind it. What she endur
