Bound by Betrayal (The Mafia King Captive Bride)

Mason

After the call, Damien left with his men, and I’ve been lying on the floor, wallowing in deep pain and regret. My body aches all over, and every part of my bones feels like they’ve been shattered.

Coughing out blood, I slowly crawled forward, my body trembling with each labored breath. I finally reached the couch and rested my head against the armrest, my eyes closed as I struggled to catch my breath. But immediately I heard the door creak open. I jerked up, snapping my eyes open, but instantly regretted it as a sharp pain shot through my back, earning a loud groan from me.

“Mason,” Olivia exclaimed, rushing forward and squatting beside me. “What happened to you? Who did you get into a fight with? You’re bleeding profusely,” she asked, her eyes scanning my body with concern.

“Were you attacked by armed robbers?”

Gulping hard, I finally managed to look at her. “That could have been better but hell no… They came for me,” I coughed, holding my chest.

Olivia’s gaze narrowed at me, her expression intense. “Who came for you?”

“Da… Damien,” I sputtered, coughing violently. As soon as the name left my lips, Olivia’s eyes widened in alarm. She stood up abruptly, backing away from me with a look of shock and fear.

“Hope you didn’t tell him anything, Mason!” she exclaimed, ignoring the blood trickling from my mouth.

“Where’s Ashley?” I coughed, struggling to catch my breath.”

“Answer my question first!’l” Olivia snapped, her eyes blazing with urgency. “Hope you didn’t say a thing?” She pressed.

I swallowed hard, my aching body making it hard for me to move. “He… he now knows everything,” muttered, my voice barely audible.

“WHAT?!” she exclaimed, her bag dropping to the ground as her jaw dropped in shock. “You did what?!” she demanded, her eyes wide with disbelief.

“Don’t blame me, Olivia…,” I paused, my heart pounding in my chest. “I had no choice.” I said before reaching out my shaking hands, and whispered, “Please… please help me sit on the couch.”

Looking at my stretched hand, she glared at me before I heard her let out a snort. “You bloody fool, I should help you when you can’t keep your mouth shut. If you know how you leaked the secret, go help yourself out!”

Fuck it.

I dragged in a deep breath, dropping my hand back to my side. I shook my head at her. The pain hit me hard with each movement, “I tried my best, Olivia, but you lied to me. You said you wanted to reconcile with Ashley, but you kidnapped her instead.”

She paused instantly, raising her brow. “Kidnap,” she said, feigning innocence.

And that seems to really annoy the shit out of me because I remember the pain I went through earlier. I nearly lost my life. “Don’t play dumb with me, who is Alexander!” I stuttered, the words trembling off my lips as I coughed hard.

Olivia seemed surprised before she let out a heart-wrenching laugh. “Alexander is a kind soul who helped me catch my father’s lawyer. He was a man of his word, not a coward like you.” Her words scrunched with a mockery grin.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“In exchange for…?” I smiled sadly, my Adam’s apple bobbing up and down in regret.

“In exchange of my brat of a sister,”

“This is not right, Olivia, this wasn’t the plan,”

“Huh,” she scoffed, her laughter dripping with sarcasm as she locked eyes with me. “And who gives a damn about the plan anyway?”

“Because of you, I nearly died and you’re not even bothered,” I snapped, feeling a pang of disappointment at the cold-hearted individual I had been standing beside all this time.

Laughing, she shakes her head in disgust, waving her hands dismissively. “Why should I even bother? I’m through with you, Mason. You’re no longer worth my time,” she declared, nonchalantly shrugging her shoulders, arms over her chest crossed. “You’re a coward, a pushover… you’re not the kind of man I want.”

My heart shattered, consumed by regret as her words pierced me deeply and before I knew it. I pushed myself up slightly, wincing as the sharp pain at my back.

Tears of remorse welled up in my eyes, and for the first time the pain cuts deeply. My eyes reflect the pain and shame within me. “Because of you, I lost my fiancee.”

“Because of you, I LOST ASHLEY!!” I shouted, fixing her with a fierce glare, only to be met with a mocking grin.

“No, dear one,” she shakes her head, “You lost her because of your selfishness… you lost her because of your greed.”

“Don’t you dare say that,” I sniffed deeply, the pain in my heart more piercing than my aching body. “You entered our lives when we had something beautiful, and you shattered my wonderful relationship with her.”

But however, instead of feeling remorse, Olivia let out a dreadful laugh, which kept echoing in the intense air coldly and frighteningly. Slowly, she majestically strode seductively toward me, her hips swaying sideways. Stopping in front of me, she smirked. “Let’s just say that you were…” she paused, trailing her fingers sensually down her hips, but for the first time, I didn’t feel moved anymore.

Surprisingly my dick didn’t even react.

All I see when I look at her now is anger, hatred, and regret.

Lifting her head with a wicked smile on her bottom lips, she bent slightly before snarling, “Let’s just say that you were obsessed with my… Pussy.”

“When you were sleeping with me, using me for different sexual styles. You didn’t remember that a day like this will ever come. You were so obsessed that you can go any length just to have me in your bed.”

My heart shattered with every word she uttered because she was right…… I was foolish, obsessed that I didn’t know that I was trading the wrong part. My memories with Ashley flashed before my eyes, I shouldn’t have let her go. I tried to speak, but words failed me, and tears streamed down my face, and that only widened her smile.

This is a monster; I’ve been foolish about all this time.

How come I didn’t see the part of her all along?

“You used me,” I whispered, the words barely escaping my lips.

Olivia’s smile grew wider, her eyes glinting with a cruel light. “Oh, no, honey, don’t forget that we’ve been in this together for a long time. Nobody forced you, you did everything willingly on your own.” She said, her voice dripping with a forced sympathy at the end.

“You got what you wanted, right?” I laughed bitterly, looking at the file in her hand.

Flipping her hair, she blinks her lashes seductively, a huge satisfied smile plastered on her face.

“You want to be Ashley so much but you can never be her. Now I see why Daniel Harlow loves her so much,” I spit, glaring at her.

I wish I could stand on my feet so that I can strangle her to death so much.

I regret every single thing.

“Whatever,” she laughed, flashing me the documents of all Daniel Harlow’s properties. “All mine,” she stresses the words, saying in a sing-song tone before shaking her head and laughing in victory.

Looking at her laughing and leaving only worsened my anger, and before I knew it I snarled at her. “You ruined my life but I promise you Ashley I will ruin you.”.

My words seemed to have stopped her, and immediately she turned to face me, an amused look on her face. “You know Ashley has always hated me but have you asked yourself how she will feel if she comes to know that you have been behind all her problems all this while as well?”

My heart skipped a beat the moment she posed her question and Ashley’s innocent green eyes appeared in my head.

“But don’t worry much, she won’t make it alive out of Alexander’s sight,” she said, a sinister smile playing on her lips, eliciting a gasp of shock from me.

“You are evil,” I screamed, taken aback by her callous words. “I will destroy you, Olivia, I promise.”

“Only if you will be alive to do that,” she smirked cruelly, pulling out a gun from her jacket. My eyes widened instantly as I scrambled back a bit,

“Wha….. What are you doing?” I had barely finished my words before I heard bam!

BLACKOUT.
