Drawing shaky breaths..

My brain wasn't able to process anything anymore..as I was feeling a strong pang of pain in my heart..

Not for the fact that all mafia in the world wants my head..

But...Adonis

I knew we got married under deceitful circumstances..and our Marriage was surreal

But..Adonis

I know he has lied to me..played me..cheated on me..hurt me..used me..

But..Adonis

It couldn't be possibly true right?!

Meeting him in Hawaii must have been a coincidence right?!

Of course.. it was..

I just happened to marry him unknowingly..and to his surprise too..all his other rival mafia groups..just want me..for absolutely no reason..and now he has to protect me..

That must be the story right?!

I felt the pain in my heart again..as I griped my chest..

No..no

I just can't be his planwork?!

He married me because he was attracted to me..not that..he had too!..cause he also want God knows what from me..

It was like the bathroom was getting smaller and smaller..I couldn't think straight..

What if..it was actually a plan-No!

It can't be..it must not be

Not now.. not now..that I'm falling for him..

I don't want to be a fool again..

I staggered away from the mirror and sat down by the rim of the bathtub..

I was breathing heavily.. I gripped my chest.. as I try to steady my breathing..

Inhale.. exhale

I did that continuously.. until my breathing came back to normal..

I couldn't even cry..I mean why should I cry?

Cry?..Again?!

I sighed deeply..

"Selena..don't assume..please don't.." I said to myself..

Adonis once said..never to assume anything related to him..so I won't..

He also said..he would tell me everything when the time was right..

I would wait..

I calmed down..as I stood up..and freshen up..

_<>_<>_>

I wore a pink crop tanktop..with a black leather jacket..and black jeans with black boots..

Made my hair down..

Applied a little makeup.. and vuala..I was done..

I picked up my phone..and went downstairs for lunch..

Yeah..I stopped thinking about it..

Cause..I didn't want to...and I won't

Like I said..I would wait for him

Lunch was served on the second floor..

Bella and Gabriella has also freshened up.. and were already at the table..Adonis also sat..Ivy and Diego too..even Zach

By the way. The house has been crowded..

Trusted Mafia members are now living with us..so they could work faster..

Ever since..All our meals have been served on the second floor..cause they have their own meals on the first floor..

I reached the dining table.. and for a moment all their attention was turned to me..before everyone went on with their business..

Except of course..Adonis

His eyes still lingered on me..even though Diego was talking to him..

I sat down beside Ivy..opposite to Zach

Zach passed me a cheeky smile..and I smiled back in response..

"Zach" Adonis stated coldly..

"Erm..yes boss?" Zach stammered..adjusting his glasses..

He is so Adorable by the way..

"Do you want to have lunch downstairs?" Adonis asked again..

"What happened?"Gabriella asked..for everyone actually..cause everyone was confused..

I chuckled..and kept on smiling..

It was funny..I guess

"You know something babes?" Bellas asked..

"You haven't answered me Zach"Adonis asked coldly again..

"Erm..erm..erm.."Zach was all over the place..

"No..Machavelli..I believe he would rather have lunch here..isn't that right Zach?" I said..our eyes meeting..

"Erm..y..yes Selena" he replied..not able to look up to Adonis..

Adonis passed me a questioning look..

I gave him a cheeky smile..

"Ya'll are weird as fuck!" Bella exclaimed..and we all burst out laughing..

I helped myself to some food..and started eating..

_>>_

After lunch..everyone went on about their business

I was out in the garden..heading to the torture room...

Yeah..that's what I call it..since I once saw a dying man getting his hand chopped off..

On the day of the attack..Gabriella and her team were able to capture three of them..

And ever since..Adonis have been torturing them..trying to get them to talk..

And believe me..when I say the torture..were near death experience..

And..the poor dudes have spoken..they have said all what they can possibly say..

But not what..Adonis wants to hear..

I entered into the room..

All of forms of weapon..precisely torture weapons.. were hanged..

I felt a shiver ran down my spine..

But not by the dangerous weapon..but by the sweet piece of candy..standing in the middle of the room in all his glory..

Adonis was shirtless..wearing only a black jeans.. water was dripping from his disheveled hair down his throat..down his body..

How can someone be sweating this hotly?!

He looked so dangerous..

As he sighed.. I followed his chest heaving up and down..

Clenching his fist..he punched one of the guys..chained to the chair..in the face..

His muscles beautifully perfect..

The guy coughed out blood..panting..

"Speak!" He said sharply..

The guy was just panting..not able to say anything..just mumbling..

Adonis clenched his fist again..ready to punch him..

At this point..this guy is gonna die..by the power of Adonis's fist

"Machavelli.." I called..he stopped midway

I walked closer to them..

"The guy obviously can't speak.." I started..he glanced at me..his eyes still seemingly dangerous..

He dropped his hand..

"All his teeth are gone" I said..gesturing to the floor..he looked down..

Yepp..the guy's teeth were all out..covered in his own blood..

I laughed..he chuckled..

He turned and walked to the basin he washed his hand..and cleaned it with a towel..

I faced the three guys chained to the chair..

I sighed.."So ya'll still claim you don't know anything?"

"Y..ye..yes..please..we are just street thugs..Borys gathered us..promising us a large sum of money..please.. we don't know anything.."one of them cried out..he seems to be the only one with complete teeth..

"Tsk..tsk..poor thing.."i said moving closer to him..I bend to his level..

"You should at least know..the mafia group he belonged to..Bratve?..Lisichka?..or vipers?"I asked slowly..and I must admit..I had a dangerous tone..

He gulped in fear..by the mention of those names..

So..it's definitely..one of these mafia..

I stood up straight..

"I guess..you still don't want to talk..Well..Machavelli here..Will end up killing you" I said as I turned..

"Pleas...please..I beg you..Please..don't kill us..Help us beg him..plea..ple-"they all started mumbling until he cut them off..

"Shut the fuck up!" He shouted..I felt a shiver ran down my spine..

Then the torture room was silent as a grave yard..

Then he turned and walked back to me..he leaned on the table in front of me..

"What are you doing here?" He asked.. with a questioning look

"I came to check this place out" I said..making my eyes wonder around..then back to him..

"You shouldn't come here..you can't handle it"

"I..I can't handle it?..Machavelli for the past six months..I have seen alot..I mean alot of dead bodies and blood..so all this..doesn't surprise me anymore..i mean i'm not bothered.." I said sighing..

He smirked..and suddenly grabbed me by the waist..now I'm resting on him..my hand on his bare chest..standing between his laps

Directly facing eachother..

"You are turning dangerous..aren't you?" He asked slowly..

"I wouldn't use the word dangerous..Machavelli.." I said..my voice husky..from all the closeness

"But you are bothered by this" he said..slyly..moving his hand up and down my waist..

I sighed deeply..

He smirked..knowing what he is doing to me..

"Why are you seducing me?" I asked..my eyes trailing down to his lips..

"Seducing?" He asked amazed..

"Yepp Machavelli..do you even remember our deal?" I asked..

"What deal?"

I laughed..

My hand trailed to the Selena tattoo on his chest..his eyes followed my fingers on his chest..then back to my eyes

"Why aren't you stopping me?..I mean it's your deal" he asked with a questioning look..

I looked straight into his eyes..

"Maybe..because..I..I'm.."

Should I tell this gorgeous excuse of a man..that I'm falling for him?

"Hmm?" He coerced

"I want it like this..I guess" I said instead...

He tucked a strand of my hair..behind my ear..

"So..you have forgiven me?"He asked..

"Oh Hell No!"

He chuckled..

I sighed..

"We definitely can't be friends..so..I guess..I'm just with you"i said..trailing a finger down his cheek..

He smirked..

"Fuck your bitch somewhere else..Asshole!!"one of them yelled..

Ohh..he didn't

Adonis picked up his gun..and shot him right in the middle of his head..

"Whooo.." I exclaimed..

He chuckled..as he claimed my lips..

He kissed me hard..deeply actually

My hand around his neck..as I buried myself in the sensation..

I kissed him hard too..both of us burning in desire for eachother..

He groaned as..he grabbed my ass..I moaned..

I actually like this..

"Eww..stop guys!" A voice interrupted..

I drew back..and saw ivy and Diego..

"Really?..Adonis..in the torture room?" Deigo asked amused..

Adonis still held me close..not wanting to leave me..

"I own this place..I can do anything I want at anytime" he said..his voice still husky..as he trailed kisses on my cheeks..

I chuckled.."Stop.." I said..moving away from his grip

Ivy passed me a knowing glance..I held up my hands in defense..and laughed

"Yes yes..The great Machavelli"Deigo laughed

"Anywayyyyyyyyy...These guys really don't know anything bro" ivy said..gesturing to the dying men on the chair..

"How can you be so sure?" Adonis asked..his demeanor changing..his expression serious..

"From the coordinates..they are actually street thugs..mainly from the streets of Moscow.."ivy said skeptically..

"Oh..if they are from Moscow..the mafia that attacked us..must be based there too" I said..realising..

"True Selena" Adonis stated..

"So..it's either Bratve or Lisichka" Deigo concluded..giving Adonis a knowing glance..

This is the second time..

They definitely know something..

Adonis just stared blankly..deep on thought..

Ivy moved closer to the chained men..

"You killed one of them?!" Ivy practically yelled..

I turned to her..

"Well..he couldn't keep his mouth shutting replied..

"But-" ivy started..

"Ivy..they are going to die anyway..the audacity of some lowly street thugs to attack my mansion..is just irritating"Adonis said coldly..

"And..even if we suddenly have a change of heart and let them go..the people that sent them will kill them..they know too much" Deigo added..

Ohh well

Byebye

Before I could even turn back to face Adonis..

He already shot them in the head..I was slightly taken aback..

Then turned to him..he picked up his shirt on the table..and stormed out..not sparing me a glance..

I sighed..

"Take care of these" Diego said..and suddenly two hefty men..emerged from the shadows

The fuck..did they come from?!

They were here all along..

"Let's go Selena" ivy said..as we both walked out of the building..

We were out in the garden..heading back to the house..

"That was cruel" ivy muttered..

I should be the one saying that..

"No ivy..they attacked us..and by the way..Adonis just gave them easy deaths" I said.. indifferently..

Ivy stopped and stared at me..

"What?"

"You have changed so much..during this past month" she said..

"I know..I mean..I'm Married to mafia boss" I said..and continued walking..

She caught up to me..

"By the wayyyyy..."

"Oh..what now?" I asked chuckling..

"What's going on between you and Adonis?..are you guys back together?"

I sighed..

"What?..answer me!" She said..taunting

"No dear ivy..we are just...there"

"There?"

"Yeah...there"i said..as I picked up the pace and walked faster..

She still stood there confused..but then Deigo caught up to her..

And I just turned and entered the house..

The first floor was crowded with mafia members moving about their business..

"Boss's wife!" Someone called..

I turned to see Natasha..a beautiful dark skinned lady..

"Boss wife?..that's so weird.. just call me Selena" I said..

"You know..I can never get use to that" She said..with a smile

I laughed..

"By the way..where is the boss?"

"You mean..Machavelli?"

"Of course yeah..we can't find him..and we need his order on something very important" she said..

I thought.. he came inside..

"Erm..I actually don't know where he is"

"Well..you could give us the order.. since you are like his luna and all"

"Lu..Luna?"I asked confused..

"Yeah..like Alpha and Luna..blah blah..can you give us the order?" She asked..

"Order on what exactly?"

"Don't worry Selena..I got this" Diego said entering the mansion..

"Sure sure"i said as..Natasha went over to him and they disappeared into the house..

"What's up Selena..you kinda look pale" ivy asked worriedly..

"Pale?..I look pale?"

"Yepp..what happened?"

"Actually nothing..but Adonis seems to be nowhere to be found" I said..

"Oh..I noticed his Red Porsche was not outside..he probably went out"she said..

"Hmm"

I don't even know what is wrong with me..

"Oh..so you are worried right?"

"Well yeah..I mean..he shot two guys and just stormed out..I'm worried" I said..

I guess..that was what is wrong with me..

I'm worried about him..Adonis

Ivy chuckled.."Adonis is a mafia boss..he can take care of himself" she said amused..

"Hmm yeah.." I mumbled..

"Oh My God!" She raised her voice..

"What?" I asked taken aback..

"You love him!..you are in love with him!" She screamed..

Gaining attention..

"No..no..what are you saying ivy?" I asked trying to calm her down..

"That's what you mean by..you guys are just there" She said.. seemingly happy..

Is that what I meant?

"What is all the ruckus about?" Bella asked coming over to us..

"Selena loves Adonis"ivy said excited..

"Ohh..you don't know before?..that's old news" Bella said indifferently..

"O..Old news?..what do you mean?" I asked confused..

"It's fucking obvious"

How??!

"Anyway..away with this topic..I have gisttttt..that I think you..Selena would love to hear" she said dragging me and ivy upstairs..

God know..what she wanna say!
