Doted On By The Mafia Boss novel Chapter 9

Ryan's hand stopped mid air, he looked at Jack and then at the girl lying on the bed. She looked nothing like her but for a moment managed to deceive him who had her impression still afresh in his mind.

Substitute? Can he ever find another one like her?

Ryan always believed that there was only one her in the whole world; no one could ever replace her, atleast not the place she held in his heart. But today, not only did this prisoner stir something long lost within him but also managed to give him an illusion that it was her.

The man silently recalled everything he did in that spur of moment, he took the life of two of his own men just becua5 they had I'll intentions for her. This was strange because he never cared for anyone and no one was that important for him to take away lives in anger.

This was not the first time he had some woman in his custody, there were many female assassins who once tried their luck but we're brutally caught and imprisoned. He had seen the mistreatment with his own eyes without batting an eyelid, he never felt any kind of emotion towards this. But she... He had to admit that he lost his sense when he saw her being mistreated, her tear filled eyes that were pleading for his help were still stabbing deep into his heart.

Ryan, since his childhood, cared only for one person and it was her. She was the only one capable of triggering every kind of complicated emotion in him. After she left it was as if his heart had stopped beating and had hardened into a rock.

His hands trembled, he never once thought that else than her there would be someone who will be capable of influencing his mind. This little prisoner was the one who made him feel something in the last five years.

This thing didn't come in his mind untill Jack reminded him. This little girl looked nothing like the person hiding in his memories, she looked as if she belonged from a whole different descent but Ryan couldn't deny that he felt the same butterflies he had at those days while touching her.

Did... Did he just really find a substitute for himself!

How can he deny, he even gave her the room which he had been preserving for her. He was even treating her wounds himself.

For some reason absolute anger sprout in his heart, he wanted to yell at Jack but what could he even say. He was kinda right and his actions indicated at the things which he just mentioned.

Unable to say another word Ryan completely denied it, "She saved me, I saved her. Nothing else!"
