KatyaI alighted from the Lamborghini and adjusted the designers' white long jacket draped over my shoulders, dark stilettos making contact with the floors.An umbrella was placed over my head instantly, and I stared at the tall magnificent building where my office was located now. Its architectural design was pristine, shades of beige and dark mahogany giving it an aura of strict seriousness.I adjusted the sunshades as well and walked into the building, employees and interns stopping to greet me."Good morning, chairwoman.""Good day, ma'am..."I acknowledged their greetings with a small smile and a curt nod, my lips clamping shut I'm seriousness immediately.I wasn't in a good mood. I hadn't managed to sleep well yesterday, consumed by various conflicting thoughts.What I wanted had blurred with the lines of what I desired, and now I didn't know what I was doing anymore. Had Ferrara succeeded in emotionally manipulating me to start seeing him in another light? Gauging my mood, K
FerraraI am a man who had done away with the illusions of conscience.From the moment I started to plan my father's murder and imagined the look in his eyes when I ended his life, I had forgotten what that word meant. In fact, it had been scraped from my vocabulary, and for each soul I had sent to hell, I had known that they deserved it.Don Viktor Petrov had asked for his death the moment he took the pleasure of killing my father myself from me.Yet like that day when I walked into the living room and Katya's expression had changed drastically when she finally saw me for what I was, the awareness that I was tainted and darkness itself was more prominent tonight.Just yesterday, I had shot at Nikolai's son in front of him, and at the last minute, suddenly decided not to kill him. Instead, I had shot him in the spine. He would live, but would never be able to walk again, unless there was a miracle.Nikolai's words followed me like the ghosts of my dark life which I had long embraced
FerraraTwo Weeks Later"Boss, you have to see this."Carlos started as soon as he walked into my office, his expression and poise calm, deceptively. He looked as though he was just about being pushed to the edge. I wondered what it was this time, although I already had a guess. Just as I predicted, as soon as he placed his tablet on the table in front of me, my eyes caught sight of none other than Katya Petrov, being interviewed by the New York Times."...So what do you intend to do with the land you just got from your client as a reward for winning the case against Mr. Castello."My palm clenched at the mention of my name from that sleazy reporter who didn't seem to care but for her job, but I couldn't take my eyes off the screen.Katya seemed to have made a pact with making me surprised, beguiled. She was in an army green dress today and black heels, her thick luscious hair pulled to the side. The unique features of her small delicate face were accentuated by light makeup, her
Katya Ferrara didn't become a Don by throwing out empty words. He was a man who made good of his promises and delivered every one of his threats. As the hand of the clock struck 7 in the evening of the next day, the private elevator doors slid open and ushered me into the grand abode of the man who stood at the other end, Waiting for me. Ferrara was in white shirt tonight, looking as stunning as he did in dark outfit. A lazy smile was on his lips, and he glanced at his watch, lifting his head, "Seven on the dot. I knew you wouldn't disappoint me, Katya." I didn't like the way he said my name in that deep baritone that tempted me to strip and dance another kind of rough, filthy, dance. I said nothing in reply, but stepped into the house, my heels clicking against the floors. "Let me take your jacket." He muttered, and in seconds, with my eyes trained on his, I unclasped the buttons of my jacket and released the belt, opening it to reveal my outfit for the evening. What I l
KatyaIt was a brief laying of lips against lips, yet I trembled, shuddering in need, gasping in wonder. His lips were gone almost immediately, and he gently placed a package in my hand, his voice throaty, thick, desirable,"I guessed you wouldn't eat much once I proposed sex to you, so this is dinner, for you and my little man. Tell him I will call him tonight."I stood, staring at him like I had lost all senses, my other palm clenched, itching to release and pull him down for a good proper kiss. But I forced my feet to move, making no attempt to speak lest my voice betrays me. After all, I was only going to stutter or mumble something incoherent that would make him laugh at me later.As I finally got into the elevator and the doors started to slide shut, my eyes were trained on him, his palms stuck in his pockets as he regarded me with shamelessly hungry eyes.Then he said thickly in a low voice, "Think about it, Katya. Just you and me, skin to skin, no strings attached." The do
KatyaFifteen minutes later, Ferrara sat cross-legged across me in his limo, his tie discarded, his gaze penetrating into me.He only broke eye contact to reach for his phone and dial, then his eyes were on me again when he spoke in a deep sultry voice,"Ferrara. Make your private area empty before the next ten minutes." I tried not to focus on the movement of his lips, knowing I was already on the path to doom. This was what Ferrara had always been to me, yet he made me feel alive, excited, my entire body filled with anticipation.The tension between us was thick, and with my legs crossed to the side, I felt half of my rationality leave through the window."Where are we going?" I finally broke the silence. He checked the time by his watch and returned his attention to me, "Somewhere we won't be disturbed. A good restaurant. You will like it." I said nothing else for the rest of the ride, instead focusing on not thinking of the consequences or the fact that I may be selling my sou
KatyaHis voice was a raspy huskiness, his trimmed beard soft and caressing my face as he caught my ear in his lips.I wanted, needed him to kiss me. To feel the hardness digging into my thighs and discover what it felt like to have him inside me again. I craved and burned for his touch, I desired...him.But he was only teasing...The thought brought with it a realization of the game he was playing.In a second, I stood from his thighs as though I had been burned, my chest heaving up and down, every part of my body burning and tingling.When he looked up to me, his gaze was lazy with desire, but underneath it was that knowing smirk of satisfaction. Smugness.He knew exactly what he had done.Ferrara stood, looking impeccable and calm, as if he hadn't just had me in his thighs, as though he hadn't just driven me crazy.He stepped closer to me, covering the distance between us and reaching out to pull the messy strands of my hair backwards."So what do you think? You wanna begin now, to
Katya"I...I don't understand, this isn't Mr. Rusty." I said to Alistair, forcing my eyes to look at the dead body again. This was a patron at the club, and his name was Giovanni.In response, Alistair pulled out his phone and swiped, turning the screen to my direction. Shit. My first instinct was to puke.On the screen was a mutilated body with missing fingers and toes. And beside him was a child, killed in the same fashion.And on the floor, the words, 'A traitor tempts death' were written with their blood.I turned my eyes away for a moment, my heartbeat perking up."We received a tip from one of the neighbors that a scream was heard in Mr. Rusty's home, after Mr. De Castello visited. We came here to arrest him after being to the crime scene, but guess what we have here..."Our eyes went to the dead man on the floor who had either fallen on his own or gotten pushed.From Alistair's expression, he already concluded that Ferrara was responsible for this as well.With hard determine
