Accidental Love With The CEO Mafia Chapter 42: Disappointed
Riccardo POV:What did she mean by saying that I didn't know anything that happened to her after we broke up before? I literally kept my eyes on her for seven years, sending my men to watch over her in secret. I followed every social media post she made online and even checked on her if she went silent for three days. Certainly, after the breakup, she went a bit astray and befriended some toxic friends and developed toxic habits like going clubbing, dating random men and going on vacations with her peers. But none of it seemed to jeopardize her life and her education in college. She looked fine on the outside. But did something happen to her that I failed to see through during those years?"I kind of lost direction after the breakup... like for a whole semester. My grades went down and I lost my scholarship," Cassie said slowly.Okay, that was new. I never knew that. Maybe something did happen to her and I could sense it was like some kind of hardship she needed to deal with her famil
Accidental Love With The CEO Mafia Chapter 43: After Midnight
Cassandra POV:Ricky was such a nuisance. He always got what he wanted whenever he wanted it. Like right now when he wanted me in bed. He got it fairly easy and now I was left lying on the bed tired after he did me for over an hour. I just closed my eyes pretending to be asleep when he called me like five times before I sensed him rising from the bed and going to his office desk at the left end of the bedroom.I slightly opened my eyes and peeked at him who was now checking his phone. He scrolled a bit before his face turned a bit grim. Then he clicked something before putting the phone on his right ear."What do you mean Pedro did it again? How many this time? How long had he been doing it again?" Ricky asked someone on the phone with a stern voice. His eyes glanced to check on me and I closed my eyes tightly again, just letting my ears hear everything."I don't care, Sergio. I warn him before. I'm not like my father. If he wanted to live in my region, then do his business according
Accidental Love With The CEO Mafia Chapter 44: Pedro
Cassandra POV:As usual, an hour after midnight, he checked on me making sure I was asleep. Like always, I managed to fool him. Ricky left the bedroom and I waited about a minute before I slowly opened the bedroom door and peeked outside. I saw him on the first floor leaving the mansion through the front door. It was dark down there and I guessed all the servants should be asleep by now.The front door was closed again after Ricky went out. I didn't take long to run down the stairs and peeked outside again from a window beside the front door. I hid my body behind the curtain. It was not that dark outside because there were a lot of lamp posts there. I knew right? Why would lamp posts be available here? Let me just remind myself again that Ricky's residential area was about ten rugby fields big. It was almost like a small town here. Thankfully, Ricky didn't leave by getting into a vehicle or anything. I won't be able to follow him if he did that.I saw him walk to a stone building, lik
Accidental Love With The CEO Mafia Chapter 45: Terrified
Riccardo POV:I didn't know how long she had been here or if she have seen everything. But her face looked extremely pale and her body was visibly shaking as if she just saw a ghost. Her tears were pouring yet her sobbing was not even heard as if her voice got stuck in her throat."Cassie," I carefully squatted in front of her and tried to grab her shoulder.She flinched hard and shook her head drastically. I didn't even get the chance to touch her yet as she was already on her footing again and ran away leaving everyone. It was even a bit humiliating now because she suddenly screamed at the top of her lung and that sound echoed all across the tunnel."Damn... I don't think she would be able to recover from that," Sergio remarked. He was standing behind me with the rest of my men.I stood again while sighing, crooked my finger and Dome came forward to stand beside me."Get her," I said and Dome nodded obediently. He with a few of my men immediately ran to chase after Cassie who was ob
Accidental Love With The CEO Mafia Chapter 46: Her Fear
Cassandra POV:Ricky gave no answer to my question, the one that I was so eager to know. I guessed what happened tonight was proof that he wasn't just a normal regular wealthy businessman. Silly how I didn't see the signs. There were clearly many of them. He had a gun and his ex-girlfriend was heinous. The birthday party he attended before too was unusual, with all the guests respecting him in such a weird way even the elders. Certainly, that would show how he was not a normal guy living a normal life. Maybe I was the one who put a blind eye to all those signs. I had been disregarding them all.My whole body was shaking terribly and my lips began to feel cold. It was almost three in the morning and only a thin satin sleeping gown was covering my body. My whole self just stopped functioning at this moment, I didn't know what to do next. With Ricky standing right in front of me and all his men staring at me, my mind just went blank. I was still in shock from what I saw at the undergroun
Accidental Love With The CEO Mafia Chapter 47: His True Identity
Riccardo POV:"I'm part of the Mafia. At least that's what normal people called us. But I'm not just a normal member," I cut her off before her insanity kicked in. She was losing her right mind again.I put down the small towel that I used to dry my hair on the office desk in front of me. Then I went to approach Cassie. Her body slowly moved backwards and eventually lay flat on the bed because she was trying hard to avoid me. I just sat beside her and grabbed her up again, making her sit properly facing me."Listen to me. You don't have to stress me over with your words. I'm going to explain it to you even without you asking. So, don't snap again. Just calm down. I don't want to hear you yelling. It's hurting my ears and giving me headaches," I coerced her hard and she quiet down almost instantly.I told Cassie everything about the history of my family and also the underworld I lived in.Basically, the country where we lived right now was divided into five regions. Each region was led
Accidental Love With The CEO Mafia Chapter 48: Finding Him
Cassandra POV: Ricky left the bedroom after he gave me a long berating speech. He slammed the door behind him and that made me gasp with my body jolted in shock. My crying stopped immediately and I just sat on the bed motionlessly. My eyes stared at the floor as my mind just thought about what I should do next. Should I just go to sleep right now? But Ricky was in a bad mood and if I just let us continue being in this situation, tomorrow would be a long day for me. I didn't want to walk on eggshells inside this house. That would be such an agonizing thing for me to bear especially now that I didn't have any other place to stay apart from here. Ricky was right. I did love him. Yet, knowing who he really was tonight just felt like a pang in my heart. I couldn't accept that he was part of the crime world. Even worse, he was the king of the underworld. How could I end up having a boyfriend with such a dangerous identity? This was just not making any sense to me. My mind was still think
Accidental Love With The CEO Mafia Chapter 49: His Past Regret
Cassandra POV:Ricky puffed some smoke out of his mouth and looked down again, staring at his cigar in between his fingers. He just let the ashes from the cigar fall to the floor. No lights were on in that ballroom, yet I still could see him clearly because the gleam from outside shone through the uncurtained windows.I went to sit beside him carefully. He looked a bit confused by my action but he commented nothing and didn't even avoid me. Slowly, my arms circled his waist and gave him a loose hug. Still, he remained reserved and so I deliberately tilted my head to his left shoulder. Maybe his heart would melt a bit if I did this."Did you come down here because you're afraid to sleep alone?" He joshed.It was uncanny how he could be so mad at me a moment ago and now he was able to make a joke instead. Sometimes, I felt like Ricky had very unstable kind of emotions. One second he could be so calm and another second he might lose his temper. I couldn't read him most of the time, so th

Accidental Love With The CEO Mafia Chapter 178: Rafael Xavier
Cassandra POV:Seven years of heartbreak and hell, and now seven years of heaven later. I gave birth to my son safely and he was six now. We named him Rafael. I knew not really a cute name. But it brought great meaning, which was, healed by God. I hoped his life would be much better than the one that I and Ricky had.Oddly, there was nothing much I should do after taking over the Rossi region. As I requested, Ricky took down the Rossi's mansion to the ground and built my very first art gallery on the land. Because of my anonymous identity in my painting business, I was able to continue it even after the cathedral case. So, I lived by making my own million dollars selling paintings til today. Certainly, a lot more companies began offering me collaborations too.News about my parents and Christopher? Well, nothing much. My father found out that he had stage four lung cancer and Christopher got a woman who was way older than him pregnant, forced to be married to her and now he was doing
Accidental Love With The CEO Mafia Chapter 177: One Of Us
Riccardo POV:If that was what she wished for then I won't stop her. She deserved to have all the happiness she could get now. No more Carina to shadow her from living her life to the fullest. Cassie can now finally live the life she deserved. I would make sure it stayed that way as long as I lived.The next day, I returned to the company again after a long break. Today was important because all the Mafia Dons along with some of their future successors would be having a meeting with me inside my office room. With the whole Rossi family gone, the Rossi region was left without any leader now.Everyone expected the leadership to fall into my hands. But I just didn't feel right taking power over half of the country's region. I just didn't feel like being in that much power. Carina's effort to overthrow me before had left a trace of sense in me that people would start envying you if you had too much power. But then again, the whole Rossi family members were dead now. Giving their land to o
Accidental Love With The CEO Mafia Chapter 176: Cut Ties
Riccardo POV:I never would have expected that Cassie's relationship with her family was this bad. I got it that they weren't talking anymore but I never had the idea that they were treating her this disrespectfully.She just got out of jail after shooting Carina, had her dream wedding turned into a tragic incident of bloody red event and instead of comforting her, her parents just chose to annoy her even more. Not to mention the extreme entitlement her younger brother had over her, demanding a job from me because I married Cassie without their consent. The audacity."Leave... And stop bothering my wife again. If I see anyone of you try to step foot on my property again, I won't hesitate to sue for invasion of privacy and have the police take you all away. Don't even try to test me. Ernesto, tell Dome and Marco to escort them out. Put them on the blacklist. Don't let them enter my mansion again."Cruel? I bet Cassie would want it to be worse. I'm being kind enough that I let them leav
Accidental Love With The CEO Mafia Chapter 175: Leech
Cassandra POV:I didn't know what my family was trying to do by coming here to meet me after my court case had ended. It seemed like they were waiting to see if I was really innocent about it or not. They started showing how they cared about me. So for once, I thought maybe they were being real this time. I invited them to sit in the living room and I told Verona to go serve some drinks for them. My parents just started looking around the mansion and checking out every stuff their eyes could see."I have some work to do upstairs. Why don't you just have some private talk with your family first," Ricky said and I just nodded in agreement.Honestly, I could sense that they were having some ulterior motives to come here. But I tried to think positively and went to sit together with them in the living room. Maybe it would be different this time. Maybe they really wanted the four of us to be a real family now. The thought of my mother admitted that she never loved me when I had the phone c
Accidental Love With The CEO Mafia Chapter 174: Getting Her Out
Riccardo POV: When I woke up again, the doctor told me that I had been out for three days. Sergio, Dome, Leo and Franco were all around my bed. But Cassie was nowhere to be seen. "Where is my wife?" I asked firmly to them. I really thought that I was going to die but now that I'm wide awake and felt strong again, my heart just instantly searched for that one woman I loved the most. I turned to Sergio as he was the one responsible for everything if I ever was not fit to be in power. He looked down to avoid my gaze and started apologizing. "She's in jail. Convicted with first-degree murder of Carina at the cathedral," Sergio said timidly. That just instantly made me angry. "What do you mean she's in jail?! It was self-defence. You all saw it. Carina shot at us first. How long had she been in there?!" I asked fast and Leo told me it was ever since I was hospitalized. I sighed hard in frustration and my chest started feeling hurt, the effect of the gunshot wounds I got. They all star
Accidental Love With The CEO Mafia Chapter 173: Jail
Cassandra POV: When we arrived at the hospital, Ricky was pushed to the ICU instantly. I, Leo, Sergio and Dome were asked to wait outside. We waited for hours before the doctor came out and told us that Ricky was fine. The bullets had been taken out from his body and lucky enough none of them hit his internal organ. He just lost a lot of blood but was estimated to be in full recovery within two weeks. I finally could breathe normally again when the doctor said that. Everyone looked glad and maybe this was indeed going to be my happy ending, right? But who was I kidding? Not even a day passed but a few policemen had arrived at the hospital to take me in. "I'm sorry. Are you Miss Cassandra Moore or should I call you Mrs Xavier instead?" A police officer talked to me. "I'm her lawyer. Don't say anything," Sergio came forward and warned me to shut my mouth. He was ready to deal with the police in order to protect me. "We received multiple reports stating that a murder had happened ins
Accidental Love With The CEO Mafia Chapter 172: Bloody Red
Cassandra POV: I couldn't believe that this was happening. Of all the days she could have come and attacked me, she chose to do it on the most important day of my life. My heart just shattered entirely the moment Ricky chose to use his body to shield me from the gunshot Carina fired at us. He instantly fell to the floor and I could only see death was coming to get him. My mind went insane at once and I could feel my whole life would be over if Ricky died. But I no longer wanted to live in fear if Carina was able to escape again. She must die today no matter what happened. With all my logical thinking going disarray, I just did whatever crossed my mind. I knew Ricky had a gun right now, so I went to get it. "I killed the Godfather! I killed the Godfather!" I heard how Carina was screaming happily to celebrate her success in shooting down Ricky. It enraged me so badly that I lost my sense of humanity for that split moment. "You're a f*cking monster! I'm going to kill you! I'm going t
Accidental Love With The CEO Mafia Chapter 171: Like An Animal
Riccardo POV:"Do you take Cassandra Moore as your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?" The priest's voice echoed all over the cathedral as he spoke on the microphone."I do," I replied solemnly without a single hesitation. I had been waiting to say those two words my whole life for Cassie."Do you take Riccardo Xavier as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?" The priest repeated the same to Cassie."I do," she too seemed to be confident saying those two words for me.Then came the time for both of us to exchange wedding rings. We faced each other, looking dear as soon enough, we would be officially husband and wife for good. Actually, in legal law, we were already married as I had registered our
Accidental Love With The CEO Mafia Chapter 170: Safety Protocol
Riccardo POV:Cassie just automatically turned sad at the mention of Nicola. Now that she saw the heels Nicola made for her wedding, she just couldn't help whimpering at them. Maybe the memory was too horrible for her. I remembered how she was there too when we found pieces of Nicola's remains on the hill where her car was bombed by Carina. Cassie fainted that day and she was so taken aback to lose Nicola that way.How she had convinced me so much about Carina's wicked intention. If only I had trusted her that time. This memory just reminded me how stupid I was in the past. Now, it hit my feeling hard too. I quickly held Cassie tightly in my arms and kissed her forehead a few times."I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." I couldn't stop apologizing as the memory flashed in the back of my mind. It suddenly made me realize how lucky I was that I managed to make things right again with Cassie. To be able to come to this point again with her, it was somewhat amazing how the universe worked his mi
