Mafia Prisoner

Ch. 76 - Punishment

Niko POV

Today felt like a never-ending saga of depression filled with guilt. Viv's Aunt's story replayed in my head over and over again. It was strange that I felt so much anger for a man I admired, still admire. My father was everything to me, yet he didn't protect the woman I love.

He didn't know what Peter's child would come to mean to me, but she was still a child. An unborn child, like my son, who I failed. I clasped my father's watch to my wrist then looked away with a deep breath. I will always love and respect my father, but I won't make the same mistakes he did.

Many generations ago our ancestor created these alliances not just for money and power, but for protection. No one was going to rule our families, no laws would bind us, and no government would push us down. We ran the world behind the scenes and lived a luxurious life.

Overtime the greed became too much, allowing men like Grasso to have more power than he should had been allowed. Being a made-man once meant a duty of respect, but now it was nothing other than power-hungry savages.

As I opened my door to walk downstairs to meet the heads of the twelve families I was presented with a goddess in a light cream-colored dress. Half her top was silk that just covering her left breast with a thin strap, the other half was cotton wrapped around to her waist and down her thighs. She looked like a business woman about to own a runway.

"You look... gorgeous." I tripped over my words, raking my eyes up and down her thin body with lushes plump breast. God, she was portioned perfectly.

"Thank you!" Her worried face turned into a shy smile. She knew how beautiful she was, yet always got taken back when complimented.

We stood there for a moment, both scanning the other's body when my innocent thoughts turned to anything but appropriate. Fuck, how good would she feel bent over as I slammed into her. Her pussy was so warm and tight around my hard cock.

The second my dick twitched at my thoughts I cleared my throat. Any chance of ever touching her body again would only be in my head. I didn't want to be a creep constantly sporting a very hard boner around her.

"Is everything ok?" I quickly asked, diverting my eyes from her. Any thought without her naked would be very helpful right now.

"Yes... maybe... I wanted to accompany you to this meeting."

"What? Really?" My eyes shot to hers. "They could be brutal down there. Are you sure?"

"You won't try to stop me?" Her eyes looked as surprised as mine now.

"Of course not. Whatever you want Viv, and I mean that. They can all burn in hell if they try to deny you." My voice turned hard. A tone that would make another shake in fear, but not my woman. Viv etched a slow smile on her perfect pink lips.

"Good! I have a plan. I want you to lock me up in the basement."

I know I heard her incorrectly. "What?"

"Also, I want you to make sure Vanessa is there."

"I'm not understanding what you're asking."

"There is something I need to know about Vanessa. The only way I can find out though is if she thinks you're willing to sacrifice me for the family. Not literally! I mean punish me then cast me away. Just like Sophia said, if Vanessa thinks she has a chance by your side, then she will show her true colors."

My fingers pinched my nose in irritation. I wasn't in the mood for games. "I already vowed your protection. I won't play any part in whatever this is and allow you to be harmed again. You want Vanessa gone, then I will remove her right now." My voice got a bit louder as I spoke, making Viv look around. God, she didn't have an ounce of fear in her and I was finding it so fucking hot.
