Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 130
Dee's POV Jordan was on his way back and I hated to admit that I missed him. I missed his playfulness, his wit and some features I couldn't remember. But somehow I didn't want him back yet. His absence had brought me closer to my father though I still held some grudges against him. I allowed my hands rove over my chest while resting on the bed then a call came in. I checked and saw that it was Jordan then rolled my eyes before picking. "Hey partner!" He called with enthusiasm while I snorted. "What do you want?" I asked sharply. "I know you miss me already. Don't worry I'll be back soon but I need something from you urgently," He informed me and I scoffed knowing that he called me only because he needed something from me. "What is that?" I asked, feeling less concerned. "Some cash, I don't have enough money to get something for you." He explained. "I'll send you some money soon." I replied then ended the call after hearing h
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 131
Dee's POV I left the cell, enraged that my father didn't care about me and that strengthened my mind about my decision of not letting him go. He needed to rest there for a long time. "Come back here and take me to a hospital," He ordered like he used to do when he was free. I snorted and was about climbing up the stairs when I heard him talk to himself, I was sure he was soliloquizing because no one knew about the underground cell. I stood behind the door quickly but quietly to know what he was talking about. I heard him talk about how he didn't deserve it and lamented on how he did everything for the bastard but got nothing but disappointment in return. I retreated and climbed back up wondering who he was actually calling a bastard. Someone knocked at the door and I was so sure that it was Jordan. I ensured that the bed covered the door to the cell then went ahead to open the door for him. He looked good and different on his new comb-over hair
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 132
Amara's POV I was dressed up all ready for class. Tightly clutching to my bag I tried leaving the room but I couldn't because Luciano stood in front of me with a mean look. "I'm running late," I said. "And I repeat that you can't leave this house for your safety. Your life is in danger right now," He warned with his huge frame almost covering the door. "I don't care about my safety, I need to have a breath of fresh air and that won't be possible here." I complained. "That's none of my business too, the garden is available for you to unwind, but I won't allow you get hurt even though you don't care," He concluded and was about locking the door when someone knocked on the door. He opened it slightly and let Shuri in, then kissed Shuri and I on the forehead, not after warning me sternly to stay back. I scoffed and sat on the bed grudgingly. "What are you doing here?" I asked irritated by her presence as I took my phone to leave the room
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 133
Amara's POV I batted my lashes, still trying to recognize where I was. The room was painted in white and the sun rays reflected into the room making it extremely bright and giving my poor eyes some hard time. I slowly scanned the room to know if I was alone and tried remembering what brought me here in the first place. "Aaaa," I groaned because of the pain I felt at the back of my head. There were several machines in the room and wires connected to my body and I wondered if what happened was that severe. My mouth tasted bland and I felt pains all over my body. "You're awake," Luciano said with a not-so happy tone. "What happened?" I asked. "The doctor said it's something like Jar or Jarring. You fell off the stairs and passed out. You've been unconscious for three days now, I thought you wouldn't wake up," He said with his hands in his pocket. I remembered it all, the heated argument with Shuri and me trying to put her in troubl
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 134
Luciano's POV I drove back home alone engrossed in my thoughts. I didn't know what to feel about Amara's pregnancy. Being pregnant for made me feel different in a way I couldn't explain. But what bothered me was the fact that she still wanted me to free her. If she could see through my heart and know how difficult it was she wouldn't ask me to do such a thing. I loved her too much and now that she carried my seed, my love for her had doubled. I needed to find a way through all of this so I wouldn't lose her. The doctor had told me to be gentle with her, that the fall had a great impact on her health and she was lucky not to have lost the child. I decided to work on my schedule so I'd have more time to take care of her. Her mental and physical health was more important to me than any other thing, so I had to watch over her myself and make sure that she's fine. I parked my car in the driveway and walked into the house tiredly. I hadn't rested
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 135
Luciano's POV The drive to Massimo's house was slow as I was trying to put my emotions in check. While Luca was driving, I saw a man trying to help his heavily pregnant wife into his car and I imagined Amara being in that state. Damn! It won't be funny. The woman seemed to be in a lot of pain and I wondered if it was that painful for every woman or it was just her. I hope it was just her. I thought about Gio's strange call and imagined him leaking whatever happened in the house. I shook off the thought vehemently, and wished that it was someone else because I wasn't sure I could take another betrayal. We got to his house and Luca blew the car horn to alert them of my arrival. The gate was opened by the guard while he drove in and I climbed the stairs quickly. His house looked the same, as I tried to remember when last I visited him. My visit to his house was never for a good reason and this one wasn't for good as well. I had decided that th
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 136
Luciano's POV She couldn't be missing, I thought and shook my head. I dialed her line again but I still didn't get any response which got me more worried. Where could she be by this time of the night? She was still recuperating and the last thing she needed was stress. Then I decided that if she didn't pick her call this last time, I would have to check the control room to know what is happening. The phone kept ringing but there was no response so I flung the phone on the bed angrily. I didn't care if got broken, I just wanted my baby back. I dashed out to the control room so I would know when she left the house but I discovered that the camera was turned off in so many places. I raked through my hair in frustration and left the room, yelling at everyone who tried talking to me. Raul, Stefano and Dante stood in the living room still dressed in their black suits. I scanned through their faces which showed how tired they were. If everything was norm
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 137
Amara's POV The sky darkened as I walked through the lonely path Gio asked me to follow. I was skeptical about the arrangement he had made for me but his constant assurance calmed me down. Leaving the house wasn't an easy decision but I was left with no choice. Staying there was choking, I couldn't think or even live properly. So I talked to Gio about my plan and he promised to help me. I was surprised at how eager he was to assist me, but since he was the only one who offered to help me I accepted it. While we talked, I could sense how much he wanted me to be away from the house, like he had some plans in mind. I thought of Luciano while I walked and wondered what he would be doing now. He would be looking for me but he wouldn't be able to find me, because I made sure that every way to locate me was cut off. My phone kept ringing but I didn't pick, knowing who the

EpilogueLuciano's POV I tossed on my shirt and stood up from the bed. While heading for the door, I wondered what good news Dante talked about. Presently, I didn't believe that good things could happen to me with how the events were turning out slowly. My life was already a wreck and I felt that nothing else could make it worse. "What's the news?" I asked tiredly, not even sparing him a glance as we made our way to the office. Discussing with my workers wasn't something I did in my bedroom. I felt that it was too private, and I didn't want anyone to feel special just because we conversed in my chambers. "I don't know how to say this," He chewed on his lips which irritated me. "Dante, I don't want to imagine that you made me leave the comfort of my bedroom just so you could show me how nervous you can be," I barked and he shook his head in disagreement. My patience was waning and I was ready to unleash my pent up anger on him if he wasted my time. "Dee has woken up from coma b
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 196
Luciano's POV Arianna's smile was still imprinted in my mind, leaving me to ponder on why she was acting like a good person. I guessed that it was the help I rendered towards her, but I couldn't help but doubt her intention towards my son and I. Immediately we were done with the party, I headed for Amara's room to check on her hoping that she would be feeling better already. I knocked on the wooden door and got in after hearing her muffled reply. Walking in to meet her taking a gulp of orange juice from her cup had me smiling. Her eyes scrutinized me with a strange calmness then lowered towards what I had in my hands.A polythene bag which had a plate in it. I brought fruit salad for her since it had a good taste and it was nice for pregnant women. "What are you doing here?" She asked when I was done being searched. "I came to see you since you refused to attend Gio's birthday," I queried and narrowed my eyes expecting an apology but her nonchalant look threw me off balance. "Ho
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 195
Luciano's POV The house was bubbling with excitement. It was Gio's birthday and not only was he celebrating a new age, he was going to be inducted into the mafia as a Made man fully. The latter part of the celebration didn't sit well with me because I didn't want him to have anything to with the Familia. It was just too dangerous and I wanted everything to end with me. I took a stroll around the hall to be sure that everything was in place. Though I was sure that Raul had done a good job, I still didn't feel comfortable just sitting around and making people do things for me. Different kinds of aroma hit my nostrils from makeshift kitchen near the hall where the party would take place. I was almost tempted to enter the kitchen and serve myself some food. I was disrupted from my stroll by a shrill cry that sounded from the hallway. I casted a glance at the direction of the noise and I found Shuri running away from Gio. "Be careful!" I let out a warning when Shuri almost tripped, b
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 194
Luciano's POV A knock sounded on my door immediately I dropped my phone on the wooden table and sat on the executive chair. It was another day, which meant that I had been given the opportunity to right my wrongs. "Come in," I ordered using my boss' tone. Things were slowly returning back to normal and I didn't expect any retaliation from Massimo's men. They were like sheeps without a shepherd and if he was truly dead, then I'd have to take over his territory. Gio sauntered into my office with a smile plastered on his lips. "What do you want?" My voice came out harshly, though I intended that it sounded nice and warm.He didn't care because his smile only widened. "I like the new father I'm seeing. I wish you'll continue to be like this and nothing will go wrong,"I shrugged in uncertainty. Gio was happy and I knew that Shuri felt the same way. I only hoped that I wouldn't mess things up later. "What will you do with Amara and Shuri?" He asked. "I'm still thinking about that. A
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 193
Luciano's POV For the first time in my life, I felt like I did everything right then wrong at the same time. My life was no longer the same with the kind of confusion that had taken a permanent place in my mind. I was so sure that I shot Massimo in the face, but his body was nowhere to be found. That fact alone should have disturbed me because it was common amongst us. Hiding people's body wasn't difficult for me, but I was just taken aback by the speed at which he was taken.I shook the thoughts off my head and went in search of Amara. She was the only one that kept me sane at such trying period. I didn't care if she was going to reject me again, I just wanted to know that her and my baby were fine. "Amara, can I come in?" I asked after knocking twice without getting any response. I smirked when I remembered how I used to barge into her room but now, she had to grant me permission or I'd stay outside for hours. "You can come in," Came her raspy voice. I didn't hesitate in goin
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 192
Luciano's POV My eyes blinked incessantly when I realized that I had shot Massimo. I lost the firm grip I had on my gun and I didn't bother picking it up when it fell. This wasn't me. I was always in control and never scared of killing. Seeing dead bodies and weak people plead for mercy before I cut off their heads or pulled a bullet through their heads was fun for me. So why did this feel different? I didn't regret any action I took but right now, I felt like turning the hands of time so I could make things right. I walked briskly towards him to know if he was still breathing but since he laid on his face, I couldn't risk it. Arianna who looked like she was about to faint held my hands while I dragged her away from him. If I couldn't do anything for Massimo, then I could channel my help towards Arianna and her son. "I feel so weak," She whispered and rested her head on my shoulder. "You'll be fine," I grumbled and she nodded. Her unsteady steps slowed me so I placed her on ba
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 191
Luciano's POV Sleep eluded me as I tossed restlessly on the bed. It was impossible for me to sleep with the thoughts that burdened my mind. My life was a wreck and so was the fate of my family. I sighed and got up from the bed and headed for the window to feed my eyes with the buildings that were lit up with lights. The street was quiet but it did nothing to calm me. I'd made a mistake by not listening to Obinna. He was right when he suggested that I take Shuri and Amara out of the house. Nowhere was safe anymore, not even my own house. Everyday, people did things to remind me that I should always have eyes everywhere or I'd die like a piece of shit. Massimo's face popped in my head as I thought of what to do to him. Though he had caused a lot of problems and unrest in my family, I took a bigger portion of the blame. Because of me my mother was killed and my father was kidnapped for several years. Alita killed herself because I'd turned into a monste
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 190
Luciano's POV Zino Alonso was kept in another room in my mansion. I didn't trust him to be treated outside my watch. I was still trying to come to terms with the fact that the man I had buried was still alive. Another surprising fact was that Dee kidnapped him. Father had really underestimated Dee's ability. He was smart but he lacked the brutality that was needed to operate in our world. My gaze lingered on the man who called himself my father and my mind was flooded with several memories of how he treated my brother and I. Dee always thought that our father loved me more than him, what he didn't know was that our father was a sadistic bastard who only cared about his ego and business. He gave me several dirty tasks and if I failed any of them, he'd make sure I was tortured till I became unconscious. I remembered a day when he gave me the worst punishment of my life than toughened me. That afternoon, he called me into his office. He was on edge for reasons I couldn't fathom and
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 189
Luciano's POV The room was extremely quiet, for which I was grateful. Amara had kept me on edge with her suicidal talks. She didn't feel excited to be back to me which made me wonder why it was so. I knew she loved me but a lot of things had happened between her and Dee. I was supposed to be repulsed by her, instead, I was drawn to her more than ever and wanted to protect her from any predator at all cause. My mind flashed back to the moment Amara was shot. I was still sad that Dee was shot even though he had been a pain in my neck. The moment he held Amara's neck and threatened to kill her, I knew that my brother had gotten more vulnerable than ever. And it was also surprising that Jordan put a bullet through him. They loved each other and it was surprising that Jordan would betray someone he loved so much. I strolled towards the wallpaper that covered the door to the secret room and stared at the patterns distractedly. "Isn't it for the best that I marry Amara? At least she w
