Chapter 6 Punishment

"Do you miss me Bella...mia?" She could recognize that voice even in her sleep. She stood frozen looking at him with wide eyes.

If someone told her that the King of Morte Nera would pay her a visit in her house. She would have argued till her last breath.

"W..what.." she tried speaking but immediately closed her mouth breathing hard. She glared at him HARD while a handsome smirk appeared on his face.

"What the hell are you doing in my house?!" she said but he didn't respond, his eyes moving across her body especially lingering on her exposed legs. He suddenly stood on his feet and she moved back, his presence affecting her.

"What happened to your elbow" he asked.

That was actually the first thing he noticed when she stepped out of the bathroom with a red towel wrapped around her tiny frame.

"Why should I tell you that. I owe you no explanation" She said feeling uncomfortable under his scrutinized gaze.

He took three long strides towards her before pinning her to the wall, his hot breath fanning her neck. Lexi could feel her heart pounding in her chest as her eyes met his ocean blue eyes. She hates to deny it but he grew much more handsome than before. A slow smirk appeared on his lips as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

Lexi shook, trying to push him off but he stood gallantly like a statue, his height towering above her.

" Let me ..go.. now" her voice hoarse.

"That sounded more like begging me to f*ck you " he said and she glared.

" I hate repeating myself Lexi. You might wanna start talking" He said in a warning tone but she didn't reply.

He suddenly gripped her two arms and raised them above her head,pinning them tightly to the wall his body pressed pretty much on hers.

His scent invaded her nose and she inhaled it without planning to.

Struggling will only make things worse for her so she stayed still.

"Let go of me" she said, not looking up at him.

His right hand snaked under the towel and she gasped when she felt his hands between her thighs.

"You always want it the hard way,don't you Bella..Mia?" he said as his hands traced her sensitive skin.

She froze as his fingers went higher between her thighs.

Her breathing became loud and fast and her hands became sweaty as his fingers moved pass her middle thigh going up....

One more move of his finger and he'd be touching her p*ssy.

She looked up their eyes mirroring each other.

"I.. I got into a fight. An assassin did it" she quickly said and he reluctantly dropped his hand.

"You really like tempting me, don't you?" He said as he released her hands.

"You are not human. All you do is hurt others. You are nothing but a sadist" she spat, her voice carrying emotions.

"I never denied that Bella" he said

" Don't call me that . I'm not your Bella"

He was about to say something when his phone rang.

"What?!" He picked, irritated by the sudden interruption.

"Sir, your attention is needed" the caller said meaningfully.

"I'm on my way" he said as he hung up.

He glanced at Lexi his eyes never leaving hers.

"I'll be back, we have a lot to talk about"

"Only a fool would want to talk with you. This is never happening again" she said firing back. He only gave her a sly smile before walking out of her apartment.

She released the breath she was holding when the door slammed shut. She could still feel the tension between her legs like his cold fingers were still there. She clenched her thighs trying to reduce the tension.

"I can't fall for that jerk.. not again!" She said.

Morte Nera, Mob house

The gates to the Mob house swung open as Antonio drove in madly. The tyres screeching, his hands on the steering wheel tightened.

Ever since he heard the news of how the assassin wounded her, he has been seething. If the assassin was still alive he would have crushed his bones,cut off his tongue and the hands he used in hurting her before killing him. He hasn't admitted it yet but he cherishes her badly. No one is allowed to hurt her or touch her except him.

He came down from the car, his polished shoes hitting the ground as he walked into the mobsters lounge. He had to teach someone a lesson.

Mobster's lounge~

Knife sat down with a few other guys while they gisted and laughed over alcohol

" Ever since I got recruited here as a mobster.. my life has never been the same. I ..mean I get free food and the operators specifically choose mobsters who go for each operation"

The first guy said drunkenly while the others laughed.

"True but we have to work harder to get into the next operation or else our ranks will still remain below" One of them said and Knife smiled.

"I was sent on a mission to take out a police officer but I couldn't cause when I arrived at the warehouse with my men, we met a cruel some scene. We just went back cause what's the use of saving someone when my own life is at stake" Knife said drunkenly while the others looked shocked.

"What! You were sent on a mission and you failed" the first guy said.

"Yeah, too bad I don't even know if she is alive, she was the best officer in her unit though" Knife said.

"Are we talking about Detective Lexi as in The Alexandria Thompson" The second guy said and the rest glanced at Knife waiting for an answer.

"Yeah she is the one" Knife said.

"Wow you mean the sexy detective with a soft a$s, F*CK, I have always wanted to know what her pussy tasted like" the first guy said lustfully and he had wished he hadn't said that cause that moment Antonio stepped in and he was the first person he grabbed, choking him by the neck.

"You get free food, accommodation and all you can do is talk about what's mine in an inappropriate manner. The audacity!" Antonio said increasing the force of his hold on the guys neck while the rest cowered in fear.

His eyes reddened as he choked him once more before flinging him across the room.

The next person to face his wrath was Knife, he moved back as Antonio approached him slowly like the devil he was. He picked up a base ball bat from the ground and the next thing he did was hitting Knife on the head with it.

"Ah,boss-"

"Shut the fuck up or I'd double your fucking punishment!" Antonio said while Knife wailed in pain, his blood staining the floor.

"I only sent you to do one thing, just a simple task and what did you do, you ran away and you got the guts to sit here laughing over it!" Antonio's voice rose,his words laced with disgust.

"Am sorry boss-"

"Shut up!" Antonio said hitting him with the base ball bat again and again. When he felt satisfied he called Victor.

" Take them to the torture chamber,make them do a thousand push-ups and don't let them leave till they're done"
