Chapter: Chapter 110_ Very Happy
A sob escaped Kate before she could stop it. Tears spilled freely down her cheeks as her shoulders trembled.Lucas immediately crossed the distance between them and pulled her into his arms. His brows knitted together in concern. “What's wrong?" he asked softly. “Don't you like it?"Kate's sob only intensified at his words.Lucas frowned and held her tighter against him. One hand rubbed soothing circles on her back while the other cradled the back of her head. He pressed a kiss to her temple and whispered sweet nothings into her ear.It took a while before Kate finally calmed down. She slowly pulled away from his embrace and looked up at him. “I'm sorry," she said with a small laugh. “I got so emotional that I couldn't stop myself from crying."Lucas chuckled as his fingers brushed her cheeks and wiped away her tears. “I don't like seeing tears in those eyes of yours,” he said, frowning slightly. "So, do me a favor and stop crying.”His words left Kate speechless. Wasn't crying a norm

Chapter: Chapter 109_ Birthday Cake
Lucas looked up at the sky briefly. The sun was slipping away as dusk settled quietly and blue over him.He checked the time on his watch for what felt like the hundredth time. “What is taking them so long?" he muttered, tapping his foot impatiently against the ground as he stood near the entrance of the estate.His gaze drifted toward the garden behind the house, and he let out a soft, satisfied sigh.The entire estate had been transformed over the course of barely a single day. He’d rushed workers in and out from the moment he left the hospital until a few minutes ago, carrying decorations, lights, flowers, and everything else he needed to surprise Kate.For the first time in years, the usually quiet garden looked like something straight out of a fairytale.A soft sigh escaped him once again. ‘Would Kate like it? Would she be happy with what he had prepared for her?’Lucas's thoughts were interrupted when a notification sounded on his phone. 'Vehicle detected.'He immediately looked

Chapter: Chapter 108_ Shut Your Filthy Mouth
“Are we going to the villa?" Kate asked as they rounded the hospital hallway. Her eyes flicked down to the oversized hospital slippers Victor had found for her.He’d told her to wear them for now, until they got to the mall. Victor said they would stop there before he took her to where Lucas was."No,” he replied curtly.Kate frowned slightly at his curt response. “Where then? And don't I need to get discharged before leaving?" she asked, tilting her head to the side as she tried to match Victor’s walking pace.Victor sighed. Lucas hadn't told him Kate was such a question asker. She was asking him too many questions at the same time.He stopped walking and turned to her. "I can't tell you anything about where I'm taking you since it is meant to be a surprise,” he said, looking at her face. "You don't have to worry about the hospital; you’re already discharged. Lucas handled that before leaving.”Kate nodded her head. Then they resumed walking, but she suddenly paused when something oc

Chapter: Chapter 107_ My Queen
“Have you lost your mind?" Victor snapped, looking at Lucas as if he’d suddenly grown two heads.Lucas shook his head. “No, I haven't," he replied curtly. “You’ll take control for me, Lucas, and protect the familia like you would your own. The gangs will answer to you, and nothing about the familia will concern me anymore. You're the only one I trust enough to handle this. Please, you cannot refuse me.”Victor exhaled loudly as he searched Lucas's face. “Why are you doing this?" he asked. Then his eyes narrowed as he immediately put the pieces together. “This is because of Kate, isn't it?"Lucas's silence was enough for Victor to know he’d guessed right. He cursed under his breath and glared at Lucas. “Why are you throwing everything away for the sake of a woman? Is she worth giving up everything for? Uncle Julian wouldn’t be pleased about this. Hell, even I don’t support this madness."The air around Lucas grew heavy, charged. His eyes burned and his whole body tensed as if every wor

Chapter: Chapter 106_ Poor Girl
As Julian waited for Erick to come back, his eyes kept drifting to the door. When it finally opened without a knock, he rose from his seat in one motion.‘That had to be Erick,’ he thought.Erick stepped in and handed him two brown paper files. “Here's the information you asked for."Julian acknowledged Erick by nodding his head, then took the files and sat back down. He set them in front of him, staring for a moment, praying silently that his suspicion was right.Then he opened the first file and scanned the front page details: Deceased file of Anthony and Katelyn Walker.He flipped to the next page and read through the details, his eyes moving fast until they stopped on their surviving child, whose name was none other than Kate Walker.Julian didn't react right away. He set that file aside and opened the second one: the file with Kate's information. He scanned it quickly.By the time he finished, satisfaction settled in his chest; cold and immediate.Kate was the daughter of Anthony

Chapter: Chapter 105_ Sleep With Me, Lucas
“Really?” Kate asked, her voice rising slightly with surprise.She had thought it would take her time before she could finally convince Lucas to change his ways of doing things. But hearing him give in to her so easily truly surprised her.‘Matteo was right. She really had the power to steady Lucas.’“Yes,” Lucas affirmed with a nod, and a bright smile instantly bloomed across Kate's face.She suddenly closed the distance between them and wrapped her hands around his neck. “I know changing won't be easy,” she murmured softly, affection shining in her eyes. “But thank you for wanting to try for my sake. I love you, Mr. Mafia.”Lucas raised his brows. “Why do you call me that?” he asked, amused. If he remembered correctly, this was the third time she had called him by that nickname.Kate giggled as she pulled away from him. “Because that's the nickname I chose for you. You're from the mafia, aren't you?”Lucas chuckled. “Well, I'll be stepping down tonight and giving the reins to someon
