Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 158
Amara's POV I felt like a cheap wore in the dress that Dee selected for me. Though Mariam tried her best in making me look good, I still felt disgusted. I tried to act numb, ignoring Dee's sly remarks but it wasn't working. All I wanted was to shove a knife that I had sharpened to my satisfaction into his neck. I imagined how horrified and scared he would look knowing that death was ready to receive him. He had informed me that it was going to be a nice party but I wasn't convinced. As far as it had to do with him in the mafia, all parties were the same. Only the arrangement and dresscode differed.I was still surprised that he was comfortable in taking me out of the house. It was for my own good as I was almost going insane living with him. His presence made the air in the house polluted but I wished I could die from it. The thoughts of running away gnawed in my heart as I stared at the trees and buildings that we passed by. I wondered how it would feel to open the door and jump
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 159
Amara's POV I watched Dee walk toward me linking his hand with Arianna's in a smirk. I scoffed at them and looked around so I would be distracted. When he got to where I stood, he unlinked his hand from hers and fanned my neck with his breath. I sucked in air, disgusted by his presence around me. "I'm so happy to be around you," He whispered. "Well I don't think you would expect me to return the feeling," I replied. "This choker makes me uncomfortable, take it off," I complained and tugged at it. "I don't trust you to behave without the choker on you. You almost escaped if not for the shock that jolted you," He snarled and I fumed. "Great, he really saw me." I thought silently. "Want to say something princess?" He protested but I shook my head. Arianna scanned my face which irritated me then tried to touch my face but I dodged as if she had hot coals in her hands. She withdrew her hands when she noticed my reaction and smiled defeatedly. "I haven't seen this tattoo on y
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 160
Luciano's POV Sadness filled my heart as I watched the video Dee had sent to me that morning. He looked so vulnerable while he explained everything that he went through and I almost forgot that we were enemies. I tried not to blame our father for his suffering but it wasn't possible as he was the main reason why Dee was always miserable. The fact that he had a disease that restricted him from having a child was painful and I imagined being in his shoes. It would hurt a lot if I wasn't capable of having children, sons that would take over my business. It was the pride of every capo that his son succeeds him after death. When I discovered that Amara was carrying my seed, it gave me great joy to know that I would have a child from my loins. Apart from being miserable, he didn't wield as much power as I did. He was like my shadow so he had to struggle twice than I did to get whatever he wanted. I paused the video and wondered how I would feel if I had to force people to obey me.
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 161
Luciano's POV I wondered why it was hard for me to get Amara. Each time I closed in on her, Dee succeeded in keeping her away from me. It was like a game, when I'm about to win the rule of the game would be changed. I asked Raul to keep tracking Dee while I thought of other ways to get her. Then, I remembered that Luca was still in the dungeon. He served Dee while he was with me so there was a possibility of him knowing Dee's whereabouts.The thoughts of Dee hurting Amara made me restless as I walked to the dungeon. If only I could have her in my arms, then things would be better. The guard standing at the entrance bowed while I patted his back in acknowledgement and waited for him to open the door that were made of iron bars. Luca sprawled on the rough ground with his eyes shut. He was drained of any energy he had but I feel pity for him. He deserved whatever he got after betraying me. "Luca," I called coldly as I watched him stir. "Boss, you are here," He replied hopefully and
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 162
Luciano's POV I glared at her, giving her my most murderous look. She looked away to avoid returning my glare. Then I masked my anger and put on an expressionless look. It wasn't her fault that Amara was in such mess though they didn't like each other. I was trying to protect her from Massimo and people who wanted her for the wrong reason.I felt unsafe around her because she had hidden a lot of things from me. I admit that I told her that I didn't blame her for keeping such secrets from me, I still doubted her motive for not tell me. Hell! I could be in danger and she wouldn't say anything because she was scared. That was why women weren't allowed to be a part of our business, because most of them were weak. Apart from the likes of Arianna who knew her way around the business, I couldn't think of any other woman who could hold her own. "Are you angry at me?" She asked fearfully and I shrugged. "I'm not angry at you. Since Massimo hasn't come to take you, then I would send you t
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 163
Luciano's POV The sniper's beam didn't scare me, what scared me was what would happen if I allowed myself to get shot. So many things would go wrong and Shuri would be taken away. It wasn't time to ponder on things that weren't important. I had to think fast or Massimo would take advantage of my distracted state and strike. There was no way in hell that I would allow the sniper to shoot me so I quickly dodged and he missed. Dodging bullets was one of the things I learnt, I remembered how angry I was when my father asked me to learn it. Now I was grateful he forced me to because the skill saved my life. Since it was almost impossible to see the sniper, I cocked my gun and aimed at Massimo once more. But I was interrupted by Shuri's outcry. "Can you all stop?" She shrieked with a gun in her hands. "Princess, you're here already," He smirked. "I would go with you but you have to take your men out of here and stop the shooting or I'll make my sniper kill you," She challenged boldly
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 164
Luciano's POV My eyes fluttered open as I watched Gio fawn over me. Everything that happened flashed in my head but I relaxed, knowing that I couldn't take any rash decision. I was weak though I hated it and had to heal before doing anything. My eyes darted to the stranger in front of me and I pinned him down forcefully with my hands firmly gripping his throat, surprised that I had such energy within me. "Who are you?" I growled while he choked. He frowned, definitely not in pain but surprised. "Dad, stop please. It's Obinna," Gio informed me and I stared at him to be sure he wasn't lying again. But he wore a serious expression so I let him go and sat on the bed. "You almost killed me, you know. Do I look like Amara's kidnapper?" He asked and I had the urge to punch his lips so he could stop talking. Gio sensed how angry I was and intervened, "Obena, Can you shut up? He is not really in a good mood right now," Oh! The stran
Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 165
Amara's POV The weather was chilly which made me scared not for myself alone but for my baby. As time passed, I got used to my condition and began to love my unborn child. I wondered how it would feel to carry my baby in my arms and show him the love that he deserved. I didn't know the sex of the baby because it wasn't time yet and I was almost done with my first trimester. I had thought that I wouldn't be able to survive without Luciano but I coped fine, even though I wanted out of Dee's house. The cold made me buckle my knees so I could provide warmth for my baby since I was naked. I hadn't eaten anything yet, so I covered my body with a blanket and walked towards the kitchen to get food. I regretted kicking the food I was served away because I was very hungry and so was my child. Definitely! Luckily, I bumped into Mariam who looked sad and defeated. I wanted to know what had been troubling her but cold demeanor showed that she wasn't

Amara: The Mafia Gambit Chapter 197
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
