Contracted To The Mafia (The Mafia's Dark Desire Series) novel Chapter 8

Vladimir:

“Do you trust she’s telling the truth?” Luka asked and I sighed putting my hands under my chin as I tried to think straight.

I thought of every option, and every reason to find one lie in what she said. But the woman could have been killed, she wouldn’t have lied in such a state, her racing heart against my body. Her frightened eyes, I wasn’t blind not to see them.

“Yes, why she had told me the complete truth? I don’t know, she could have found a lie to give, but she didn’t…”

“Well, if that’s the case, then that means we have a problem” Luka said. I sighed getting up from my leather chair, I walked to the bar and poured both Luka and I a drink. Handing the man his glass, I sat on the chair in front of his and shook my head, questions swarmed my mind at this state, those who I had no answers to.

“We have more than just a little problem, but for now, I really don’t want to think about it” I said putting the glass down to look at the papers we had set on my desk. In between all the work that we had, not even mentioning Viktor, we now had Ian to worry about “for now, we’re going to have Eliana under surveillance. Her causally saying that her dad didn’t trust her, the fact that she seems to be complying with anything and everything. Something is not normal about her”

I had nothing to hold against the woman as actual proof, but I wasn’t going to wait until someone was harmed for me to react “we need to get to the club later tonight, the women need to be assigned to new men, and we also need to see the progress of the new girls”

“You know that Nina never fails to impress you”

“True, but that doesn’t mean that we should leave her to do whatever it is she wants. The last time we did that, we found her sitting on a throne” I said shaking my head. It was a funny night, I must admit, one hell of a hot one too. But that didn’t make what I found normal, Luka and I went to the club one night to find the club empty of costumers and Nina sitting on a throne which she had built. Funny part was, the bar was filled with men, all these men seemed to be at her feet, just waiting for her attention.

“But you have to admit, she did you good that night. Plus, it wasn’t like we lost any costumers, hell, they had doubled through that week too”

“Don’t defend her, Luka, that woman is a psycho, no questions asked there” I said making Luka laugh and shake his head. The office’s door was knocked breaking our conversation “come in”

Lilian opened the door and both Luka and I got up for her to come and sit down where she pleased. However, she shook her head and nodded to the door “I believe that you two had promised joining us on the dining table this evening”

I smiled and nodded, Luka walked to his mom and wrapped his arm around her as the two of them walked out the door with me following close behind. I entered the dining room to notice everyone on their seats, well, everyone aside from Eliana…

“She’s not joining us for dinner” mom said noticing my expression. I nodded and walked out of the room “Vladimir?”

“Give me a few minutes, mom, you go on ahead and start”

I walked up to my and Eliana’s floor, I could hear the television in her room as I stood outside of it. Knocking the door, I waited until she called ‘come in’ before walking inside the room to find her curled up on the couch as she watched a movie.

“Audrey, weren’t you here like five minutes ago…” Eliana stopped talking once her eyes met mine. She stood up and raised an eyebrow at me “need I ask what is it that I did this time?”

“Why aren’t you joining us for dinner?”

“Of all the things that you could be busy or concerned with, this is what popped up to your mind?”
