Vivian POVThe way he cared for me had my body melting little by little. He made sure Amy was happy and safe then brought me upstairs to spoil me. This was the man I saw peek through his walls and the man I wanted. I knew it was temporary though. He was the Capo and had responsibility that didn't include me.I planned to leave in a week so just for today I let my walls down too. I could enjoy him while I had him. I could give myself good memories to hold on to for our son. He broke my heart yet filled me in a way I never knew existed."Get in here, beast!" I ordered him and his eyebrows perked up. He took off his shirt as he stood then started unbuckling his pants. He has been wearing more jeans and T-shirts lately. I like seeing him a little more relaxed at home."Are you giving me an order Viv?" He teased as he slid his pants and boxer down slowly. God his body was curved in pure perfection."Yes, and you better behave." I bit my lip, raking my eyes over every muscle upon muscle his
Niko POVThe second her body started shaking her pussy locked me inside her and I lost all control coming hard inside her. Her pussy milked every drop and fuck I needed this. I held her in my arms, knowing that I would lose her one day though. She wasn't a side woman and I couldn't have her to myself."I wish I could give you the life you wanted, baby. I wish I was enough. I don't know how to let you go." Those words just slipped through my lips, confessing something I didn't even realize until I said it. She didn't say a word but cuddled deeper into me. I held her a little tighter, taking in every second we got to be together. "Why can't you marry me?" She asked in a whisper. "It would start a war."She laughed. "How?""I'm the Capo. If I married an outsider then it would open the door for everyone to mix blood. We are generations of pure Italians. Our entire hierarchy is based on the purest blood. It is what makes one brother stronger than another from different mothers. The old t
Vivian POVOnce we left that bedroom, I closed my heart. Niko made it clear I would never be anything other than his Mistress and that meant my child would be his bastard. He was getting a better life than that. All week Niko was attentive and never once raised his voice. He was trying to show me a life that could work here. I knew the reality though. Niko was acting out of fear of me leaving, whether it be by death, running away, or him letting me go. I knew there was no reason I needed to stay here. The threat was gone. Niko kept me here for himself. We both knew he was a selfish man.I went to work memorizing the turns and street names Mario took. In the office I watched everyone learning their routines. The accounting department took a long coffee break at 10 every day. I sparked a conversation with a young man and caught his password. It wasn't hard to memorize, 223344. Once I had all the pieces, I decided I would leave from the house. Paul took us to the south border of the prop
Niko POV"She left!" I screamed out. Paul looked at me unfazed as a fit of rage coursed through my body. He knew something. My hand wrapped around his neck."Where is she?""I... don't know." He struggled to get out the words."Fuck!" I roared dropping him. He hit the ground coughing. "I want her found!" I ordered. "Your men are searching for her now. We haven't found anything yet though.""Why wasn't I notified the second she went missing?" I stared at Paul hard. He straighten his body, readying himself for the wrath I was about to bring down on him.He shrugged his shoulders. "Head start?" He replied with a cocky smile. My fist instantly connected with his jaw, dropping him back to the ground. "Put him in a cell." I was ready to kill him. I couldn't do that though. I have known Paul since he was born. He and Tommy were thick as thieves growing up. I couldn't kill him for protecting Viv."She is gone Niko. I don't know where or how, but I know she ran. She left this horrible life y
Vivian POVAmy and I made it on the bus just in time. I got to my apartment thankful it was untouched and my hidden key was still in a flower pot. Amy looked at me strangely as I dug through the dirt but it seemed like the best place to put it. I quickly got my ID and a few of my belongings.There was a picture by my bed of Tommy and me. His deep blue eyes looked at me like he was inside the frame watching over me. His large arms wrapped around my stomach and we smiled happily in the courtyard of our campus. My mind floated back to that day, remembering how we laughed all afternoon together. Paul joined us and he was the one to take the picture. I had one other frame with Tommy, Paul, and Danny. I never did get to see Danny again. He had a family so I was thankful he was left out of my drama. I couldn't let my mind wander to what punishment Niko was giving Paul for losing me. I turned the photos down then left this life for good. It was over and I would never have it again. Too much
Niko POVA week has gone by and still no leads. Vanessa's contact was able to trace her face at a bank, grocery store, and a gas station. She even stopped at her apartment and left with a small bag. I had my men raid her apartment and took all her things. She would come back to me and I would have all her belongings for her."There is something concerning about the bank transaction, Capo." Vanessa handed me the file in her hand then sat down. I should have sent her home but I had to admit she was taking a strong lead in finding Viv.I scanned over the file unsure why she was using a different name. "Marissa Vivian Sparks? That didn't make sense. Why would she change her name for school?""I don't know. I'm searching for a school record under this name but nothing has come up yet. Juvenile records are a little harder to get through without a warrant but we will have something soon.""It's been over a week. Even if she went home, I'm sure she left by now." I was losing hope of finding he
Vivian POVIt had been a little over three weeks and I was starting to feel like we were going to be ok. Amy and I started making friends, had school and work, and my aunt was softening to us some. She was still withdrawn and had plenty of backhanded comments to me, but I think she was enjoying a child in the house. She even seemed to be getting excited about my baby. The other day she showed me a room that had a small cove added to it. She thought it would be perfect for myself and a nursery for the baby. She suggested Amy take the room across from me and had a few ideas about color and themes. Amy was of course going to be pink, like the little princess she was, and for my baby boy, she thought planes would be appropriate. For the first time she spoke about my father. Filling me in about his passion to fly. I never knew he had a pilot's license before. He even had his own little plane that we took small family trips to remote islands too. I couldn't remember any of them though. It
Niko POVI paced my entry room still unable to make a decision. Roberto already called informing me he found Viv and she was on her way here. In less than ten minutes I would see her again and she was going to be pissed. I didn't fear her though. I feared what her fate was going to be. A quick death or long torturous one. Fuck, I can't kill her. How can I avoid her death without starting a fight among the families?I've already shown I care for her too much. They will know I was weak to a traitor. Why the fuck did it matter anyways? I could keep her here under lock and key like before. No! She was the blood of Marcusio and Grasso. She has to die. My fucking head hurt. I needed to make a fucking decision."Nikola, stop pacing!" Paul shouted."You're giving me orders?" I got right in his face. His attitude and temper was sending mine through the roof."She will be here any minute. You need to get your head straight.""Fuck!" I shouted, then started pacing again."Just put her in a cell
