《MAFIA'S TARGET》 His prison GRACE''S POV Hunter''s mansion, 08:30 am Rubbing my eyes I sat up on my bed yawning. I stretched my body hearing a satisfying crack sound. The door of my room slowly wide opened revealing maids. " Good morning, Queen". They all bowed before passing their best smiles at me. " Morning". I said in my morning voice. Some of them went to open the curtains while some came towards me. Pulling the duvet from my body they placed it in a manner that half of the duvet spread on the floor from the bed. Before my feet could touche the floor a maid made me wear a pair of fluffy white slippers. I smiled as she looked up. " How many times I''ve told you, Mrs. Zara, that I can do it by myself You are my elder. I feel bad whenever you kneel to do this". She stood up smiling at me. " We can''t deny King''s order, Queen". She slightly bowed. I shook my head in no. They are never gonna disobey him. I went inside the bathroom and did my morning business. Soon some maid came inside and made me sit in the bathtub that''s always filled with warm water and rose petals floating on it. One maid was massaging my head applying tones of shampoo while the other was rubbing my body. I used to feel shame at first to allow them to do this but now I''m used to it. When they are done bathing me a maid made me wear a bathrobe. As I walked outside the bathroom a maid welcomed me with a designer dress in her hand. This isn''t any special day. It''s my daily routine. Sometimes I just want to roam around in a comfortable loose t-shirt but no. I have to be presentable all the time for him. I sat on the dressing table where a maid was drying my hair while another was applying some body lotion on my arms and neck. Soon I wore that dress and a maid helped me zip it up from behind. She took a strand of my hair from both sides and clipped them up on the backside, letting the other two stands hang on my face freely. New hairstyle every day... After finishing doing my make-up, a maid made me wear a pair of golden sandals. Having one last glance at me her expression said she''s satisfied with her work. " You are so beautiful, Queen". She complimented. " May I have your permission to go now?". She asked and I nodded. I stood up as I was starving to eat something since I wake up, so without wasting another second I decent downstairs. My stomach growled as I inhaled the delicious food smell. Reaching the dining table I sat looking at the food. At least twenty people can eat it " Where is he?". I asked to a maid who was serving me breakfast. "King is talking on the phone with someone outside". She answered before placing a handkerchief on my lap. " Okay ". I grinned before attacking the food. He never get mad at me for eating before him. I closed my eyes moaning at the taste of a double cheeseburger without realising that someone have taken a seat next to me until I felt a strand of my hair getting tugged behind my ear. I stopped chewing, my lips formed pout as I had a big amount of burger in my cheeks. Opening my eyes I turned to face...Hunter! He bent a little closer to me looking down at my lips. I gulped, not daring to move back. He bought his hand towards my face and wiped the side of my lips and then licked his thumb. This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. " Eat slowly my love. It''s all yours". He said softly before moving back. He grabbed some food for himself from dishes and started to eat. After a few moments of noticing him, I decided to ask. " Are you going somewhere?". " Turkey". He replied shortly without turning his attention towards me. " I have planned something for you after this trip". He added filling a glass with orange juice. " What it is?". I asked curiously because his planes for me are never boring. " That''s a surprise". He replied, forwarding the filled glass towards me. " Any hint". I asked taking a sip from the glass. " I''ll take you out with me". I choked the juice at his words and started coughing. He immediately stood up and started rubbing my back. " Love, are you alright?". He made me drink some water still rubbing my back softly. " I''m good". I replied nodding my head. Curiosity got the best of me hearing I''m going out of here but didn''t ask him about this any further. After finishing breakfast I went towards the kitchen to wash as the orange juice stained my clothes. " F*CKING PICK UP THE CALL". I heard Hunter yelling at the main door while rubbing his temple with a gun in his right hand and the left one was pressed on his ear holding his mobile. His eyes softened a little when he noticed me looking at him. He gave me a nod indicating to come over. I walked towards him with slow steps and stopped a little away from him. He ended that distance between smiling softly. His mobile was still against his ear. He slide down the front sight of his gun from my cheek, my eyes followed the hard metal against my skin. He placed his gun under my chin and made me look up at his face. " See you soon, §Þ§à§ñ §Ý§ð§Ò§à§Ó§î ( my love) ". He said leaning closer to my face. I closed my eyes as he softly planted a peck on my eyelid. He is insanely in love with my eyes and always adores them. He always says that he will kiss my eyes until he will witness love in them for him. Only if he knows, he would never. I can never love him. " F*CKER WHY WEREN''T YOU PICKING UP MY CALLS?". I flinched at his sudden outburst. Opening my eyes I looked up as he was clenching his jaw cursing someone on the phone. That someone must be Dash. His only friend I guess. I''ve witnessed Hunter smiling only around him beside me. He tapped his palm with the gun on my cheek softly before heading outside the mansion. I saw him sitting in his limo. Some other cars was also ready to follow him. HUNTER''S POV " Boss, I was standing in front of my bride in the church full of guests. How could I have attended your call?". Dash answered. " You ruined my kiss". He mumbled at the last. Dash! the only person who can get on my nerves but can still survive. " Do whatever the f*ck you want today but you should be there in the meeting room by four in the evening tomorrow in Turkey". I ordered. " But boss, I''m getting married today. There is a reception party tonight. How would I be able to come there tomorrow?". He spoke in one breath. " You. Should. Be. There. On. Time. Am I clear?". I raised an eyebrow. " Okay". He audibly sighed. " Wait... boss, aren''t you coming to my reception party. Everyone is invited there from your mansion". " No, I''m busy". I declined. " Come on boss, it''d be fun. It''s not like you have to catch a flight. You have your jet". He pleaded. " I''m gonna hung the call". I replied coldly. " You''re coming right?". " Bye". I hung the call and sat in my limo gazing towards the main door where I saw Grace going inside with her tiny steps. She''s a soul of this lifeless mansion. Her presence make it home The only reason for me coming back. I wish I could just take her everywhere with me. I f*cking hate leaving her alone here. But I have to every time for business. The business for what I was made. I''m functioned by my father for this. I was like a robot. Mindlessly working and working for my father''s business until I saw a pair of doe eyes hopelessly looking at me. That ordinary scared girl is now my queen. Everything is in my fist including her mind, her body, her life. I can also control her heart if I want but what is the fun in that until she try to give in by herself. I''m the king of the underground but she has managed to make me her servant only in a glance. I''m on my knees for her. Just a mere thought of her innocent face looking up at me is enough to calm the beast inside of me down. I can rip, burn or torture someone to death but can''t see a scratch on her. I still remember I literally had lost my mind when she had caught cold back then because of my stupid act. I can set the world on fire but I''ll never let a flame touch her. She''s my obsession. She''s my desire. She''s my everything. She''s all I need at every moment. She just feels so good. Her touch, her voice, her smile, everything about her is so addictive. I just want her to ask me anything and I''ll give her no matter what it is. Only to become the reason behind her smile. Only to witness love in her eyes for me. I would give her the whole world, actually, I have given her already but still, there is no satisfaction in her eyes. There is no happiness in her eyes. Those blissful eyes scream sadness only. I''d lay my whole f*cking empire just to see her smile, a genuine smile. What is there I should do to make her mine? To make her love the way I love her? To win her heart? Freedom! She only asks for freedom. Now I also have decided to give her that. I can break my rules for her. But she''s not an ordinary girl now who could roam around freely. She''s the only weakness my enemies are unaware of. Only weakness of Hunter King the whole underworld is in search for. She wouldn''t be anyone''s target until and unless she''s hidden. But now it''s time to announce her as my queen. She''ll be Grace Hunter King once I''ll come back. ? They say that if you love someone you should set them free, but what if they never come back to me? HER PAST AUTHOR''S POV Hunter''s mansion, 11:44 pm Grace sat in the balcony hearing the thunder while blankly looking at the heavy rain as it was drenching everything outside. The howling wind was breaking all the dry leaves from the trees in the huge garden area. She could also see the wide sea which wasn''t calm, it''s surface was getting kissed by the moonlight. This kind of climate never fails to remind her of the terrific memories of that night. The night when her life flipped upside down. Nothing left. She sighed closing her eyes recalling her past. The day when her mother died her stepfather started abusing her then finally sold her in a wh*re house, at a cheap price, without any second thought, without any mercy. She was only a teenager and scared as hell in a place like that. On the same rainy night, Hunter visited there with his men. They had a dark aura, seemed Russian to her. They were picking up some girls and making them stand on another side of the crowd. Dash was busy dealing with the boss of that cheap place while others were focused on them. Suddenly she caught Hunter''s green orbs staring at her between all the other girls around to her. Before she could hide back he pointed his finger towards her making her freeze in her place. " §ñ §ä§à§Ø§Ö §ç§à§é§å §ï§ä§å §Õ§Ö§Ó§å§ê§Ü§å ". ( I want that girl too). She didn''t understand what he said but she felt that this isn''t going to end well. After having one last glance at her, Hunter left the place before his other men. She didn''t know what they did with other girls but they took her outside that suffocating place and signaled her to sit in a luxury limo. She didn''t want to go as she still had a hope that her stepfather will come back to take her from there but little did she know he''ll never. As she sat backside in the car she found Hunter already sitting inside. She scooted away from him, clenching a fistful of clothing of her dress in her palm. He chuckled noticing her scared. After a long and silent drive, the car finally stopped at a well-decorated place. She flinched as the door of the car got suddenly opened by a man. He bowed at her when she looked up at him. Getting off of the car she stood next to Hunter who was busy on his phone when a man approach her. Before that man could grab her hand to take her with him Hunter pointed his finger towards him enough for him to understand that he need to stop. Hanging up the call he spoke. " Shell Bela Watta Me". (She''ll be with me). Hearing that, that man left after mumbling §µ§Þ§Þ §³§å§â§â§Ö§Û ( I''m sorry ). " Let''s go ". Hunter said and she followed him behind. Her eyes widened, her jaw dropped and her head started spinning when she saw the view in front of her. A luxury jet with some men standing next to it bowed at them. She was wondering at the view but more than terrified thinking where was he taking her. Hunter stepped ahead but stopped when he noticed her frozen poster. He waved his hand in front of her face gaining her attention. "Huh". She uttered. " Don''t be afraid. Come with me ". He said softly forwarding his hand towards her. " Whe-wh-where are you taking me?". She asked stuttering. Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. " You''ll know once we reach there". He replied politely. " Is that also a bad place?". He chuckled at her question. " No, there a heaven for an angel like you". He replied. Heaven?Angel? She thought to herself. Grabbing her wrist he took her with him in his jet. There were only two seats with a golden stunning interior. He made her sit on one of them and lock the seat belt around her fragile body. " You must be traveling first time in a jet but don''t be scared okay? Just close your eyes when you feel afraid. The darkness you''ll see will take your fear away". He said cupping her face gently and placed a soft peck on her eyelid for the first time. The whole flight she was taking naps from time to time while Hunter''s eyes were glued on the glowing screen of the laptop in front of him. After a long flight when they decent down the jet, some men ushered them towards another luxury car. She slept in the way again until she felt something ticklish on her cheek. She brought her hand to rub it off but it felt like a palm. Opening her eyes slowly she grabbed two of the fingers and pulled them off from her face. She moved her head up and quickly sat straight when she realised she was resting her head on Hunter''s shoulder. The car turned towards an empty road. She placed both of her tiny palms on the glass of the window, letting her forehead come in contact with it also. The sky was one shade lighter than gray indicating the sun is about to raise between all the forest she has been seeing all the way. The car finally stopped. As she gets off the car her doe eyes landed on the biggest mansion in the world with luxurious decoration. They pass by a big fountain in the garden area unknowingly holding Hunter''s hand as she was lost admiring everything around her. She noticed that the guards were standing on each tan foot distance, bowing at them as they were passing by them. As soon as they entered inside she saw the main gate closed behind them that never open again for her. She''s trap there from the last five years now. She came to know that, the man who brought her there, is a Mafia boss of the underworld. Hunter King. From homeschooling, painting, horse riding, driving for each and everything he appointed specialists for her. Have given her everything she has ever asked for, without making her say a, please. As a teenager, she would have got Stockholm syndrome because of his soft behavior around her if she wouldn''t have asked him that why has he had brought her there. His answer was '' I like collecting beautiful things''. That day she realised that she''s just a mere thing for him. A thing to play with. No doubt, he brought her to play with him because for him all girls just want money and power. He had both but still, he never found desire in her eyes for it. She never got attracted to it. The lust he had for her started turning into respect. He started respecting a girl which wasn''t in his function. His father never taught him to respect a lady not even his mother. Sometimes he just wants to take her already and wants to have his way on her. To pleasure her. But no, he respects her innocence. He has layed the world under her feet. But she doesn''t want to walk on it. She just wants one thing from him but that''s the only thing he can''t give her. Freedom. She asked him for freedom. But this word never fails to make him lose his mind. His eyes get darker at this word. He can''t live without her. For him, she''s like his breathes. But for her he''s just an obsessed mafia and she''s a mafia''s target. Escaping? That''s not an option. Guards and fountain outside that mansion are never off duty. They are like robots whose eyes are always glued to the wall in front of them. They aren''t allowed to spare a glance on his lady. Even if she gets succeeded in escaping from them, then what? It''s an Island she''s living on. Hunter King''s own island. Not even a fly can enter or exit without him knowing. It''ll take about six hours of a helicopter ride to see the whole Island. Kingsland. He mostly goes out for his work but when he''s home he just wants her to stick by his side. From morning to night until he drifts off to sleep he wants her presence around him. His room is hers. He sleeps cuddling her whenever he''s home. But never crossed his boundary. There is nothing he doesn''t have in his control, in his strength, in his power. There is no limit for him to do what he wants. But he has a boundary of her innocence. She belongs to him but she never has accepted this fact. He knows this and never forces himself on her. He said he will wait for her consent and he''ll. He gets pissed off in a blink of an eye when something doesn''t happen as he had planned. He doesn''t leave something until he gets what he wants. He is the most stubborn person anyone could ever meet. Sometimes he just loses his patience and tries to get too much physical with her but when she utters a stop he does in a beat of a heart. She''s scared of the day he''ll not listen to her. The day he''ll not stop. Present Her train of thoughts stopped when she glanced at a big truck that entered inside the mansion gate. It wasn''t raining anymore. Some unknown men got off from it. She noticed each of them was holding a gun. ? How wonderful and how strange to be loved by someone who hates all else.
