Accidentally Carrying The Don's Heir ย ย ย Chapter 13: A problem solver
Leonardo's POV.The driver slid my limousine neatly into the parking lot, in between two other exotic vehicles. One of them, I was certain, was Don Morano's.โHeโs here.โ Grayson pointed out but I did not respond. He got out first and opened my side of the door before I alighted.โMarco said he was not very happy.โ I said as I straightened my jacket.โWell, whenever has he been?โ Grayson said and we both chuckled.I looked upon the tall dark building where the meeting was to be held.The โfortressโ was the headquarters of all our Mafia activities. From the meetings to torturing of unyielding enemies.โYeah, I still think calling it the fortress is shitty.โ Grayson remarked as if he read my mind.I smiled. โWell, good thing no one asked for your opinion.โ I said.A white Ferrari pulled up right next to my limo. I did not pay much attention to it until the occupant got out.โIf it isn't the crown prince himself.โ Greta said as she walked over to where Grayson and I were standing.โAnd

Lexi's POV.โMa'am, dinner is ready.โ The old man, who had told me he was Leonardo's butler, said as I opened the door. I nodded once and told him I would be down a bit before shutting the door.I sighed, scratching my hair roughly. I went back to my bed, where each wads of cash I had received from Leonardo earlier that day laid.Two million dollars. I made sure to count them thoroughly. Now, what to do with it.Leonardo had left the house hours ago and was yet to return. At least, I have not seen any vehicles driving in since he left.I made use of the space to think about my debts to Luca. Mother's treatment bills plus Dad's debts. Those were what I had to pay Luca back. Fortunately, they were not up to the money I got from Leonardo. So I'd have enough to pay Dad's hospital bills and rent a small apartment for them in the outskirts of the city. And perhaps, hire a few lower grade bodyguards and nannies.But the question was, would Luca leave my life alone even after paying up the de

Leonardo's POV.โBoss.โ One of the workers greeted me as he passed. I simply responded with a nod.I stood rigid with my arms crossed as I watched the workers unloading boxes off some trucks into the fortress.Those were just the new arrivals that would be sold in a few days. I'm certain that even when all the trucks are unloaded, not a quarter of the fortress will be filled.I was there when Don Morano acquired the land. Back when I was still fresh into the underground business. About thirteen years ago. I hadn't even thought of becoming the sottocapo back then.And back then, the fortress was nothing but one of our simple warehouses for storing goods. But now, it wasโฆwell, our fortress.โLeo,โ I turned my head and saw Grayson walking up to me.โThe location of the docks ambush survivor has been acquired.โ He informed me in a whisper.I nodded. โGood, get the car ready to move in thirty minutes. Just me and you.โ I ordered and he left.I heaved a sigh and was about to take a seat whe

Lexi's POV"If it isn't the future Lady of the Morano Mafia group!" Luca exclaimed, his arms spread widely. "Boo!!!" The other men echoed, their voices reverberating through the walls.I rolled my eyes as I walked in with newfound confidence. Let's get this over with."Like I said," I said, slamming the bag on the table before him, "I have your money!"Luca glanced at the bag with an unimpressed expression. He rested his back and folded his arms. A smirk formed on his lips as he spoke."Well, I'm not surprised you were able to fetch this sum of money in such a short while. Given your background, I'm sure going to extreme lengths to get what you want is a tradition." Luca said, a cheeky smile on his lips.Gosh, how I hated it when he did that!"It's a way of life," I remarked."Hmm," he sat up, "Why don't you sit down and tell me something...?""I'm not sitting! Take your damn money and leave me alone!" I half-yelled, gritting my teeth and fisting my hands.An instant gunshot echoed, s

Lexi's POV"Welcome back, Mrs. Morano," Old Man Frank, the butler, greeted me as I stepped into the mansion."Thank you," I answered with a warm smile.He returned with a slight nod. "Is there anything you'll need, ma'am?"I shook my head as I kicked off my heels. They had been hurting for hours."No, thank you. I'm okay," I said, picking up the heels and walking past Frank.I headed to my room to change. Immediately I got in and tossed my heels and handbag aside, I crashed on the bed, sighing heavily.I had been out all day helping my parents. The bodyguards I hired for them a week ago were giving me good news, as there had been no form of danger hurled at Mom and Dad since then.But the nanny I hired for them had a problem. She claimed she couldn't take care of two sick old people all by herself and needed a helping hand.Today, I spent it searching for another nanny. Good thing I found one; else all this exhaustion would have been for nothing.I was glad to see my parents doing gr

Lexi's POVThe car pulled up in front of a grandiose white building. I peeped through the car window, taking in the magnificent lights that lit up the palace-like building.There was no doubt this Mr. Russo guy was just as wealthy as the Moranos, maybe even more."Are you getting down or not?" Leonardo asked in a grumpy tone.I muttered an apology as I fumbled through my handbag.My side of the door was opened, and I alighted the vehicle.There were numbers of vehicles lined up in the same place Leonardo's limo was parked.I gripped my bag, fighting off the anxiety that was setting in."I can do this," I muttered and exhaled."Don't forget what Grayson told you," Leonardo's voice broke into my mind.I nodded without facing him.He started moving, and I followed.As we walked side by side, I glanced at his right arm before sliding mine around his.I felt him stiffen, and his gaze was on me."You told me to put on a good act," I quickly explained.Luckily, I felt his arm relax a bit, an

Lexi's POVFuck! I banged the door over and over, but there was no answer from the other side.Just who in this godforsaken world locked me in?I ran my hand through my hair, which was already getting wet due to perspiration.The heat here was intense. Even my dress stuck to my chest.I waved my hand back and forth at my face, trying to blow some air on my face.I noticed something dropping from my hand; my knuckles hurt.Shit, I was still bleeding.I tore some tissue paper and cleaned it up.Then I rinsed off my knuckles before wiping them with tissue again.I would have to tend to that properly.But first, I had to find a way to get the hell out of here."Come on, somebody! Anybody, open the damned door!" I bellowed, annoyance evident in my tone, as I advanced towards the door to bang it once more.However, I was taken aback when it was thrown open without warning."Oh, thank..." my voice hung in my throat as I laid my eyes on the man standing before me.I stumbled backward a few pa

They were all busy running around, trying to find the exit.โLexi!โ Leonardo yelled out my name again, pushing me, with my shoulder down. โYou need to get out of here!โ He said in an urgent tone. โCome on!โ Then he pulled my arm and dragged me through the crowd of panicked folks.โKeep your head low!โ He said and I bent as low as I could get as we rushed towards the exit

Accidentally Carrying The Don's Heir ย ย ย Chapter 35; The kitten
Leonardo's POV.Hours passed by and I remained on the same spot, not moving a muscle. I watched as several ant colonies marched over my ankles. I knew Grayson would have gotten halfway to Brooklyn by the time I called him. But he was the one I could call. Now I was waiting in a lonely bush path, watching my car burn down to dust.There were upsides though. I watched the sun set from a forest view for the very first time in my life. And I saw how termites build their one foot tall mound.It was peaceful, the breeze blew gently against my skin, almost sending me into a deep sleep. But I knew that if I slept off in the middle of the forest, I would have probably been half eaten by the termites by the time I woke up.Instead, I kept my eyes open and my gun in my grip. For a while, a question occurred to me -what if the assassin came back? There was only one single and straight answer to that. I would be dead.Certainly, I would try and fight back and defend myself but I was already wea
Accidentally Carrying The Don's Heir ย ย ย Chapter 34; Survived
Leonardo's POV.โArgh!โ I groaned, feeling pain stabbing at my lower belly. But that was not what I was focused on.Some kind of bomb had been laced on the road, causing my car to crash. I could feel my blood running to my brain with the way I was sitting upside down, trapped in the car.I looked out the window, seeing nothing but shrubs and grasses. I had been thrown off the tarred road. The explosion must have hit hard.There was no time to analyse my situation. I stretched my arm as far as I could for the compartment but I just could not reach. I was stuck in my seat.โArgh!โ I grunted, stretching harder.Something caught my attention from the reflection of my side mirror.I looked outside through the passenger โside window. There was a long shadow there and it was moving!โShit!โ I cussed as I struggled to reach for the compartment. I stretched as hard as I could, forcing my shoulder bones to snap.โArgh!โ I groaned but ignored the pain and stretched more. Finally my hand touched
Accidentally Carrying The Don's Heir ย ย ย Chapter 33; The accident
Leonardo's POV.My car screeched to a stop in front of the fortress. I parked next to Luca's Porsche and alighted the vehicle.The place was as silent as a graveyard. The reason being that the fortress was built deep with a catacomb of thick forest and rivers.Don Morano had built the road specially for us so that our cars would not suffer from portholes.I walked into the tall building. Unlike the previous time that I was here, the hall was empty. The goods that had been stored there had been delivered to their various selling points since last week.I went up the stairs and into the room where I was certain the others were.I was greeted with the high ranking members of our gang, sitting around a wide table. On the wall was a large painting of a cracked skull and two pistols crossing each other in front of the skull. Our insignia. Not many Mafia gangs could boast of one, but then we were the Moranos.โTook you long enough.โ Marco remarked as I took a seat on the single empty chair n
Accidentally Carrying The Don's Heir ย ย ย Chapter 32; Getting a clue
Leonardo's POV.I pushed the gun against his jaw, pressing it hard against him.โTell me where the boat is,โ I demanded, my voice reeking of danger.Nelson groaned and whimpered, his lips quivering. He shook his head frantically, โIโฆI don't know what you're talking aboutโฆplease, boss!โ He cried.I sighed. Do I always have to go through this with everyone I need information from?โPerhaps, this would trigger your memory.โ I backed up and shot his right foot. It was a silent gun so it was only his loud scream that echoed in the garage.โThe last boat at the docks had been missing since two weeks ago when there was an attack, where is it?โ I said, pressing the gun back to his jaw.I had discovered that one of the boats that delivered the cargos two weeks ago had been stolen after the attack. Grayson and I had pieced together that the attackers had most likely used the boat to ship the stolen cargo to another location.Now, the Morano family had a specific boat dealer, and that was Nelson

Lexi's POV.My mouth hung open, my eyes were as wide as saucers and I could feel blood leaving my face.What did I just hear? Was I hearing correctly? No, it could not be. I must have had a hearing disorder when I collapsed. No no no, this thing I was hearing from the doctor could not be true! It just couldn't.I glanced at the paper in my hand again, furrowing my brows as I went through it once more. I read it as though it was some kind of text written in a strange language.But it was English! It was written in fucking English that I was pregnant!โWhaโฆdoctorโฆthis isโฆimpossible!โ I stuttered, my lips quivering.I stretched the paper back to him, my hands trembling. Blood had drained from my being that the paper felt heavy in my hand.โThis is impossible!โ I repeated, like it was some kind of mantra.I could not accept it. In fact, it must not be possible.โBut, Lexiโฆit's your test resultโฆโ the doctor said but I cut him off.โNo it's not! It can't be mine. Doctor, this is not my test
Accidentally Carrying The Don's Heir ย ย ย Chapter 30; Test results
Lexi's POV.Good thing Mason had left, it was as though I could finally breathe again.I was in my parentsโ bedroom, sitting on the chair while Mum tucked Dad into bed. He had fallen asleep almost as soon as Mason left. That old man doesn't stress himself.Lucky for me, Mason did not tell them about our relationship. He had only told them that we attended the same college and might have known each other.Of course, I denied ever knowing him and I was glad he played along.As Mum finished tucking Dad in, she sat on the edge of the bed. She tapped the space next to her and I switched my sitting place.โIt's good we now have a neighbor. Now we won't feel all alone.โ Mum said as I sat.A frown creased my eyebrows, โMum! You are not lonely!โ I retorted defensively.โBut at least now we would have someone other than the nannies to always talk to.โ She said. โYour father seems to like him.โ She added.I remained silent but deep within me, I was seething with rage. I could not blame my parent

Lexi's POV.The surprise on my face switched to a hard glare. He had a smile on, which infuriated me. What the hell was he doing here? Did he not get the memo that I wanted nothing to do with him?โLexi, who is it?โ Mum asked from the dining room.โUmmโฆit's no one mumโฆโ before I could complete my statement, he cut me off.โIt's your new neighbor, ma'am. I come bearing gifts!โ He shouted, making sure his voice was heard in the whole house.โWhat the hell do you think you're doing?โ I asked in a whisper, gritting my teeth.He shrugged, โBringing my new neighbors flowers.โ He said innocently. But I knew he was only faking it.โLook, whatever game you're playing here, Iโm not interestedโฆโ I was once again cut off, by my mother this time.โAnd who is this new neighbor of ours?โ Mum asked as she stood next to me.

I was sure my face held the most confused expression ever because I did not see him there the last time I came here to visit my parents.โI just moved in, actually.โ he clarified, as though he had read my mind.โOhโฆโ my voice trailed off. I did not know what else to say. Meeting him, again, was an unexpected occurrence.Besides, he was clad in a white singlet which accentuated his chest and muscles. It was quite distracting even though I hated to admit it.โSoโฆwhat are you doing here?โ He asked, finally breaking the silence.โIโฆโ I cut myself off then fr

Lexi's POV.โArgh!โ I groaned as my eyes splitted open. My head was throbbing hard and it took me a great amount of willpower to sit up on the bed. With my back rested against the headboard, I started to breath unsteadily. I controlled my breathing until the headache slowly subsided.Even with that, I was still feeling all woozy. The hunger I experienced the night before had worn me down.It dawned on me. Speaking of last night, how did I get here? I looked around and saw that I was indeed in my room.Deciding not to think much of it now, I struggled to my feet, fighting through the body ache and dizziness. I walked over to the bathroom in slow and weak steps.I went to the sink and rinsed my face with water from the tap. I sighed and looked at myself in the mirror; I still looked pale. I needed to find something to eat.I stepped back into the room but suddenly felt the urge to go back to bed. My knees were killing me and I was sure if I decided to go downstairs, I would most certain
