Business partners, father and son, call them what you liked, the both of them had lost so much in a matter of months; slipping through their bloodied hands like grains of sand into a broken hourglass.

However, it was their fault that their hands were bloodied and it was their fault that the glass was shattered.

But no matter how much pain it gave them, they had no plans to change their ways. For the chips were down but they had aces up their sleeves. The perfect hand had come around and they bet big, holding their breaths and rolling the die. This was their opportunity to do something for the server and they were crazy to not have seized it.

The Mafia's Mercy by Laisha_Gardner
11 parts Complete Mature
The darkness in his eyes, the dangerous smell of alcohol in his breath, and his deathly grip keeping me bound to him made my heart pound in my chest and my body quiver beneath him. Shamefully, it wasn't anything that I wasn't used to, because...the things I let him do to me? When he was frustrated, annoyed, and angry at the world, I was here to be his pound of flesh. In return, he masked the void of my loneliness because for months, that was the transaction of our relationship. He'd pin me to the wall, bend me over the counter, pull my hair, slap me, choke me, and I enjoyed every second of it because in that moment, it finally felt good to be powerless. Irony is a funny thing. I enjoyed being in pain because it made me forget how much I was hurting. *** "I warned you, doll." His voice strikes a string of chills down the base of my spine, a reminder that all of the time in the world could pass, and he's still not letting go. This is where the good girl in me dies. "You're mine now," he whispers. *** My name is Mercy-Mercy Carter. I went to college. Got myself a useless Bachelor of Science in Mathematics degree. His name is Marcel-Marcello Saldívar. However, at the time, I didn't know that he, the heir to the Saldívar Mafia empire, was the man that I had blindly offered myself to. As smart as I am, I was stupid all the times when it actually mattered. After all, he did warn me that he was dangerous. I just didn't think he could be much worse than my thug of a brother. I was vulnerable-naive. My name is Mercy, and I belong to him. My name is Mercy, and I am The Mafia's Mercy. ⚠️ Content Advisory: This is a DARK Romance novel, in every sense of the word. It DOES contains DARK themes that may be triggering. Reader discretion is STRONGLY advised.

His lips crushed on mine leaving no room for escape and l tried to move away but all l could do was to moan his name "Na (sigh) than." Damn why was my body not co-operating with me, just a little touch of his hands hand spirals of shivers moving all over my body. He lifts me up on his table and his hand just sent the papers on his table flying on the floor. It just had to happen, someone opened the door and my body jecks away from his and the face l saw just made matters worse. Words which came after even made matters worse "Well played son, l taught you well." What, what is that supposed to mean, l taught you well.
