Chapter 31RUSSELAs I strode out of the hotel room, the tension of the encounter with Diaz still crackling in the air behind me, I felt the familiar weight of power settle on my shoulders. I was Russel, a fucking psycho mafia don, and I had no qualms about punching a bullet hole in a man's heart provided he posed as a threat. I made my way through the hotel, my footsteps echoing in the empty corridors. I had left the door open for the girls to scurry out and I knew what Kegan meant when he said the hotel would be on lockdown in the next thirty minutes. The girls would run out screaming what they had just witnessed, and in no time, dumb cops would line the alley trying to determine who the masked killer was. But no one would talk, not even the girls because I had made sure of it before leaving them alive.Outside, the city bustled with life, but all that was about to be shattered by the news of the murder of Diaz Gonzalez, the Columbian socialite who had paid Italy a friendly visit.

Chapter 33ALLESIA7:40 PMAs I stood before the mirror, adjusting the delicate lace of my dress, my mind swirled with conflicting emotions. Tonight, I'm supposed to meet Nikolai, the man who has shown me nothing but kindness and affection. Yet, lurking in the depths of my consciousness was the looming shadow of Russel's offer—six million dollars in exchange for my peace.Russel, the enigmatic figure who operated in the shadows of the underworld, doesn't play by the rules of morality or ethics. His wealth is built on a foundation of bloodshed and illicit activities. But despite the allure of financial security that his proposition promises, the mere thought of being entangled with him sent shivers down my spine.On the other hand, there was Nikolai—a beacon of light in my tumultuous world. He treats me with the utmost respect and tenderness, showering me with affection that transcends material wealth. With him, I feel safe, cherished, and valued as a woman deserving of love, not just a

Chapter 35ALLESIAI stood there, staring into the ice cold eyes of the devil while he just looked me up from head to toe like I had suddenly grown horns. While his face did not betray any emotions, his eyes seemed to be sizing me and I could feel the intensity of his gaze right in my guts.Why the fuck did I come back here?“Hey…” I greeted awkwardly, since he didn't offer any words. He wouldn't talk and he wasn't leaving the doorway for me to come in. So there I stood, with my hand still hanging in the air and my lips parted slightly. I couldn't ignore the gun he was holding and my mind puzzled over the fact that he might just shoot me there, but when he glanced at my face again, I saw him tuck the gun safely behind his back and I released a breath. “I wasn't expecting you.” He said icily. “Oh?” I felt so stupid and embarrassed then, standing there in the middle of the night only to be told off like that. Russsl just stood for the next five seconds, watching me like a hawk. Feeli

Chapter 37ALLESIA “Now, what did I say about underwear in this room?” He asked softly as he planted a feather kiss on my cheek while his hand tugged at the strap of my bra, “Hm?”“You said not to wear it,” I muttered. “Good,” with one swift move, my bra came off and there I stood in only my panties while his dark eyes feasted on my boobs.With a small groan, he lowered me onto the bed and a small moan escaped my throat as his lips brushed the sensitive skin of my breast. The wave of pleasure made me squeeze the bed sheets tightly. Russel noticed my soft whimper and lifted my hand to his mouth, planting a kiss on its back, "Don't be afraid, angel. You are about to experience what being fucked by Russel Mancini actually feels like.” His words made me feel so hot down there, I was already squealing in anticipation. Releasing my hand, his right found its way between my thighs and with his forefinger and middle finger, he pushed my panties to the side, parted my folds and caressed the

Chapter 39RUSSELMy chest constricted as I collapsed on the bed right next to her, I was totally exhausted but one glance at her and I knew I wouldn't mind going again if she was up for it. But she was breathing so hard and blinking lazily that it looked like she was having a hard time believing what just happened. “Hey, are you alright?” She turned her head towards me, “I'm just… surprised we did that.”Fuck! Even after what we just did, I couldn't help but want more. In response to her confession, I let my eyes roam her body with a longing look. Somewhere along the line, the hairpins came off and now her long wavy blonde curls were now scattered around the pillow, something I never imagined could ever happen again in my life. The way her pale skin mirrored the light in the room in a very beautiful way, her innocent hazel eyes and that damn color that never left her cheeks each time she was with me. I followed her eyes to that perfectly shaped nose and those lips that suffered fro
