Mafia Prisoner

Ch. 58 - I'm Done

Niko POV

The second my eyes caught Viv in a nearly see-through dress I almost lost it. My body instantly went to hers, needing to feel her every curve. Tonight, we were celebrating the end of the Grasso's reign and the heads of many families were present.

They knew I was the Boss, but I still needed to be prepared for anything. Me standing there drooling over an outsider wouldn't look well in their eyes. My body didn't care once she was close though, and it made my mind spin out of control.

She denied me yet again then walked off. I was getting tired of this game. At least she was jealous of Vanessa and that gave me some hope. Then I saw how Dennis immediately approached her once she was alone. Vanessa grabbed my arm into hers and led me over to them.

In my rage for her denial and another man touching her I started building my walls stronger. She was trying to start trouble with Vanessa and I liked how worked up she got. I didn't realize I agreed to marry Vanessa though. She already ran off to announce to everyone before I could stop her. I couldn't take Viv anymore. My body was a mess of emotions I never felt before. She walked off and I found a corner to drink my anger away in.

Not only was I feigning for a woman I could never truly have, now I was engaged to a woman I never wanted. I was half listening to my men discuss the end of the Grasso's and how Joseph was barely alive right below us. I handed the business headaches to Vanessa and spent most my days tearing that man apart.

For the first time I was able to let my rage out over losing Tommy. So much I had bottled up in me and peeling the skin from Joseph's body released more and more of that pain.

I left to find a bathroom, taking a few moments to gather my thoughts. Vivian still consumed them but I needed to break myself away from her. Then I heard her voice screaming clear across the room.

I quickly ran out as she slapped the wife of one of the heads of the families. If Viv was my woman, she would have the right do as she pleased. I would had even found it fucking hot how she demanded respect. The reality was that she was an outsider with no known connection to me though.

This was worse than when she scratched Vanessa's neck or threw scissors at Roberto. She wouldn't calm down as she threatened both of them and then demanded an apology. I tried to step in but then she ordered me. When someone gave me an order, I cut out their tongue. I lost my temper, grabbing her roughly by the hair. I should throw her in a cell but we both knew I wouldn't harm her.

Then she threatened to kill me. That was the last straw. I had to put her in her place and I had no idea how to do it. This was the first time someone had more power over me and it made my rage hit new levels. I sent her to her room with the little girl shivering in tears. She looked like she would pass out any second from all the chaos around her small body.

After they left the wife with a red hand print on her cheek turned to me. "Thank you, Capo. That woman is unruly and should be whipped for her outburst."

My eyes narrowed in on her. How dare she suggest Viv to be whipped. No one touched her. "She is to be unharmed. Are we clear?" My tone left no room for defiance.

"Of course." Her husband quickly spoke.

Fuck! I was defending Viv and I saw the look of betrayal on his face. I was the protector of the families. I can't put an outsider above them. I needed to get rid of Vivian somehow. The idea of her leaving sent painful waves through my body though.

"She is my prisoner and I will handle her punishment." I bent to the small child. "As for you. Did you tell Amy I would rip her heart out?"

The little girl began sobbing as my dark gaze fell
on her. "Yes, I'm sorry."

"Why would you say that?"

"My daddy said that's what you do to traitors and Amy is a Grasso, our enemy." Her voice was so tiny and broken as she spoke.

"Your father is a fool, small child. Traitors do suffer an unimaginable death, but Amy is just a child, like you. I would never harm a child and I would never harm Amy. I expect the same from you. Understood!" I ordered her.

She shook her head yes, hiding a little more behind her mother's leg. I stood to my full height, meeting her father's eyes again. "Amy is under my protection, as is Vivian. They will not be treated as traitors or disrespected again. Viv will be punished for her outburst, but don't think that I won't punish anyone that tries to harm either one of them too."

I walked out of the room and straight to my basement. I had a storm of anger inside me that Joseph would be perfect to let it all out on.

Before I headed to bed, I called Viv to talk about what happened. I took her to the living room knowing I would be tempted if we were alone in my bedroom.

I had no idea what to say. The only thing I knew for sure was that I needed to let her go and just marry Vanessa. This was why I didn't care to have a woman close to me. My life has been hell since the day she walked into it.

She started the conversation with her defiance then asked to leave. I can't explain the storm that erupted inside me every time the thought of her leaving me caused. I had to let her go, but I couldn't let her leave. I was so fucked when it came to this woman.

I thought we were getting to an understanding until she gave me attitude, then rolled her eyes at me. I lost my temper, grabbing her neck tight in my grip. She immediately filled with fear, begging me to let her go. I fucked her rough while squeezing this little neck before. Why was she showing me this fear? Then she said she hasn't been well.

I instantly let her go unsure how to feel. Why is she sick? Was it something serious that could hurt her permanently? She spoke quickly about her emotions, even offering to start medications to stabilize her mood. She never needed medication before. I read her school file and she was in perfect health.

Then everything about her changed. There was no defiance or fight in her eyes, not even a little drop. I took her lips to mine and she was like a robot going through the motions. My heart began racing erratically and I didn't know what to do anymore.

I turned her away and told her I would marry Vanessa. This was the right choice. Vivian could never handle being by my side and no one would accept her. My growing feelings for her were becoming a serious issue that I needed to remove before it was too late.
