Auctioned To My Mafia Lord Chapter 122: Penelope's Identity
Ava's POV"It's nothing," I lied with a smile on my face.I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that lingered after seeing Penelope's ID card. I couldn't get it off my mind and I had this nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach that something was off.“Ava?” She called when I didn't say anything, “You wanted to say something,” she added with a soft smile like everything was fine. Only it wasn't.Nothing was fine.I stared at her, trying to figure out the right way to ask her about it. A way that wouldn't sound like I was snooping around her stuff or that I distrusted her just in case she had her reasons.I mean, maybe she changed her name to stay off the radar. I could think of a few excuses as to why she might have done it, especially with the kind of life she has had but I couldn't shake off the nagging feeling in my stomach that there was something wrong still.“Ava?” She called again, this time she furrowed her brows, “Is something wrong?” She asked, rocking the baby in her

Ava's POV'It wasn't her? It wasn't her!', I screamed in my head like a psychopath before, I jumped out of my seat. This was it. Confirmation beyond reasonable doubt. Penelope wasn't the real Penelope. She was nothing but a fake.But with that realization came pain.The image on my phone screen blurred as tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision even further. I blinked, hoping it was just a trick of the light, but the truth remained glaringly, the woman in the photo was not her and I could no longer ignore the obvious. I had been fooled. Fernando had played me like an idiot for so long. The truth shattered me and turned me inside out. The tears streamed down my face as I sat there staring at my phone. A wave of disbelief washed over me, followed by a crushing sense of betrayal. How could this have happened right under my nose? How did I miss it? How could I have been so blind? How could I have trusted Fernando, believed in him again after all the lies he had fed me once

Ava's POV“What?” He blurted, and the shock in his voice was clear and impossible to miss.“What did you just say?” he questioned without a pause. His voice was stern, reverberating through the phone.My heart thudded with an undefined rhythm. This wasn't anything like how I would have wanted to reveal such a big truth about my child but there was nothing I could do. The situation demanded it, and it couldn't be helped.I sighed shakily, “The child is Miguel's,” I echoed, “I'm sorry.”“That's impossible,” he blurted, “Nando said—”“He lied. We both lied to Miguel.” Perez remained quiet, perhaps processing my words. “The baby is not Fernando's but Miguel's. I'm sorry I lied,” I muttered and my voice grew into a whisper.“You lied? Why? Why would you lie? I don't understand,” he gushed, “Why would you lie about something like that to Miguel!” He exclaimed, “He had every right to know and you decided to fool him, and hurt him like that. Why?”“I had to!” I defended.“Had to?” he echoed

Ava's POVA cold shiver ran down my spine, freezing me in place as fear coiled like a serpent in the pit of my stomach. I felt my hands tremble uncontrollably as I took a step back until my back was firmly pressed against the door.With a desperate grip, I clutched my baby tightly to my chest and swallowed hard, feeling the non-subtle quivering of my legs.Every nerve in my body screamed with apprehension, and my heart pounded in my chest with dread.I was paralyzed by the overwhelming sense of the impending hostility that reeked from him. His gaze was firm, and the look was unrecognizable and scary. The man I had spent so many sweet moments with was suddenly gone.My mind raced with a thousand terrifying possibilities as I pressed my back against the door harder like I could somehow slip through it.Fernando stepped forward suddenly, alarming me as he stopped before me with just a foot between us. “Where were you off to?”My heart pounded in my chest as I tried to maintain a facade

Ava's POVI shook my head, “No, it's not, and you can't hold me here!” I exclaimed, “I refuse to stay here with you!”Fernando laughed, “You think you have a choice?” he mouthed, arching a brow as he hovered over me.But I wasn't about to let Fernando get a hold of me like this. Not me. Not my baby. I had to protect Miguel's child.In a split second, I kicked him in the groin and dashed across the room, heading for the second exit but before I could make it halfway through the room two men holding guns materialized before me —and the Cole appeared behind them with an even larger gun.My heart jumped to my throat as tears slipped out of me.I was so stupid.From the very first day I saw Cole, I knew that he was too young to be a freaking butler. I knew there was something wrong but I never paid it any attention.Not even when he barely ever was home with us. Not even when I knew first hand how much of a liar Fernando was.The blood stains on Fernando's shirt and Cole and the other men,

Ava's POVFernando stopped, easing off me with a resigned look on his face as he headed for the door. He didn't look too pleased as he opened the door and barked immediately, “What do you want!” He exclaimed.I still lay frozen on the bed, tears rolling down my cheek as my body trembled from the shock of the moment and all that had happened in the last hour. For god's sake, I felt like everything was falling apart.And I wasn't completely sure if I was in the safe zone yet. Just the thought of what Fernando was about to do with me before we were interrupted made me shudder. I felt sick to my stomach, and I wanted to throw up so badly.I could still smell him on me, his cologne; His breath; It disgusted me. My eyes shot to the door where he stood chattering with someone in hushed tones —one of the gunmen from a while ago. After a minute, Fernando glanced at me and my heart leaped in my chest as I feared that he'd return and continue what he wanted to do to me and I'd be too helples

Miguel's POVI heard the roaring sound of an engine outside and left my desk to check out who it was. By the time I took a peek out the window, I glimpsed Perez in the driver’s seat just before he took off at top speed.I furrowed my brow. Weird. Why was he in such a hurry? And why didn't he tell me he was leaving? I wondered, arching a brow as I stood at the window. I had a bad feeling in my gut, and I could have sworn that something was wrong. I just felt it.But what could it be?I tried his cell repeatedly, trying to get hold of him to find out what was going on and why he had rushed out like that. Was there something serious going on?I wanted to know if I was missing out on anything and where he was headed but Perez didn't take my calls or return them and after a while, I returned to my desk to continue going through documents for the new orphanage.But, I still couldn't shake off the worry though, my mind wouldn't let me and I couldn't help the feeling that something was goi

Miguel's POVAva stood before me, and her presence ignited a whirlwind of emotions within me. Despite my anger and bitterness towards her over everything she had put me through.I still couldn't ignore that there was an undeniable warmth in my heart at the sight of her. Oh! How I had missed her.Her beauty had remained unchanged since the last time and the sight of her struck me like a bolt of lightning, leaving me momentarily breathless.It took everything in me to suppress the urge to rush toward her and embrace her. I wanted to so badly but I couldn't act on my feelings. I clenched my jaw tightly, my fists trembling with pent-up frustration and rage directed at her. I couldn't let her see how much she still affected me, and how much I longed to hold her in my arms and never let go.I blinked away all that emotion, composing myself, "What the hell is she doing here?" I repeated, my voice low and tingling with venom as I turned my gaze back to Perez. My eyes bore into him, questi

Auctioned To My Mafia Lord Chapter 160: Perfectly Ever After
Ava's POVIt had been a week since the Jet incident, and Mason's death.The cops had done their part with the investigation and had managed to connect the hospital explosion, and the van explosion together linking it to Lino.They had also traced some of his illegal businesses to Naples among other crimes and shut it down but since there was no one to punish that was all they could do.Angela, on the other hand, was arrested, and sentenced to ten years in prison for impersonation, fraud, and for being Fernando's accomplice which was a lot less than she deserved.Miguel and I had stuck around for the investigation, and I was pretty glad when it was finally over and done with. There was nothing more that I wanted in my life than to put the hellish past behind us and focus on the promise of the future.Whatever was in store for Miguel and me was something I was dying to see.The days after the incident at the Jet
Auctioned To My Mafia Lord Chapter 159: Wishes and Dreams
Ava's POV Miguel was there, sleeping peacefully with Mary Grace cuddled into his side.My heart felt hurt and I wished for just one second I could turn back the hands of time —just to make myself worthy again.But all of those were just wishes.I couldn't risk another moment around them for fear of causing them more problems. It was clear that I was the secret ingredient for trouble. And for the people I loved to be safe, I had to be far from them.I scooped Mary Grace from her bed quietly not wanting to wake Miguel. I kissed her forehead, tears gathering in my eyes as I whispered. “I love you, sweetie, and I'll always be here. I'll always be watching you like a hawk but for now, mama has to go,” I pressed my lips to her head again, and again.“I'm going to miss you, darling, but don't worry you're in safe hands. Your dad will take good care of you,” I squeezed her in my arms and then finally laid her in the crib, not wanting to risk waking Miguel up by dropping her by his side as s
Auctioned To My Mafia Lord Chapter 158: The Future
Ava's POV A gun rolled to the entrance of the cockpit and I only hesitated for a second before handing Mary Grace to Gracie. I knew what I had to do.I walked over to the door and picked it up as Lino stretched out his gun to Miguel. I stood behind them but none of them noticed my appearance in the room.The weapon was heavy but that didn't matter much. It was now or never, and I had to make a quick choice —a scary one but I didn't have much of a choice. I had never fired a gun in my life until this moment. But I had to do it, our lives depended on it.I focused my vision on him and the gun went off in my trembling hands.Lino's body dropped to the ground with a loud thud.If I had been just a second late he would have killed Miguel. I saved him. I saved the man I loved. Something about that numbed the guilt that came with taking a life.The gun slipped out of my hands to the ground as tears rolled down my face. Miguel's eyes met mine.I saw the worry etched on his features as I rush
Auctioned To My Mafia Lord Chapter 157: Teasing the Dead
Miguel's POVI raked a hand through my hair, listening to Perez fill me in about what happened at the hospital, and the men he had lost in the van explosion on their way here.Bastardo! My blood stirred.“Those were good men,” I mumbled, reeling in the loss as I ground my teeth and clenched my fist, “Lino. That scumbag,” I cursed, fuming inside.“I have everyone looking for him, and Mason. Perhaps he could lead us to him—”The sudden sound of the engine roaring to life echoed from behind us, and my head swirled to the Jet which was getting ready to take off.What the hell? I thought. Stunned.I creased a brow at the unbelievable sight before me. I could hardly believe it. I had no clue what was going on but that Jet was definitely not supposed to take off without an order from me.I couldn't understand it but Ava and my kids were in there, and that was all that mattered.Instantly, I sprinted towards the Jet, and Perez joined me as we raced to the aircraft. I grabbed the entry door be
Auctioned To My Mafia Lord Chapter 156: Death on the Good Side
Ava's POV“It's you. You're the traitor,” I mumbled as the realization hit me. This was why Perez couldn't tell me. It was Mason.How could this be? Even I couldn't believe it.It suddenly felt like my brain was processing in slow motion.My eyes darted to the injection in his hand, then to my daughter, and my eyes widened in shock.Panic washed over me and my hands began to tremble.“What were you trying to do to her?” I flared, clenching my fist tightly, “Were you going to hurt her—”“No, Ava—” he tried to cut me off but I didn't want to hear anything right now.“Get away from her!” I raised my voice. “Mi—” I opened my mouth to scream for Miguel but before I could make a sound Mason grabbed me quickly, pressing his palm to my lips tightly as he pushed me against the wall behind me.He sandwiched me to the wall, “Quiet,” he said, “Don’t scream, please,” he whispered against my ear, “Please,” he repeated, staring me in the eyes for over a minute.I tried to shove him off me but I fail
Auctioned To My Mafia Lord Chapter 155: The Traitor
Ava's POVI bolted upright, my heart pounding against my chest as though it was trying to rip itself out of my body. I was anxious. No. More than that I felt unsettled and for no reason too. I just had this bad feeling in my gut that I couldn't quite shake. Something felt very wrong but I didn't know what it was.I sat up in bed, staring into the darkness with the only source of light being the moonlight spilling in through the window. The air in the room felt heavy, suffocating, as if laden with an ominous foreboding that I couldn't quite place, and the uneasiness tightened in the pit of my stomach. I suddenly felt stuffy and needed some air.I slipped out of bed and glanced over my baby’s crib to see if I had woken her. I hadn't. Mary Grace was still sound asleep.I sighed with relief and made my way to the door. I stumbled towards the door, but my heart jumped again as I heard the sudden sounds of hurried footsteps.My stomach tightened and I pushed the door open gently, peeking
Auctioned To My Mafia Lord Chapter 154: Dead Man's Game
Miguel's POVLino was alive? That couldn't be.I had set the place on fire. I had watched it burn. It had to be a lie. Nando was definitely lying. I glanced at him, “You're lying,” I said.“I'm not!” He yelled with desperation in his voice and words, “I swear it. Mason is involved. I can prove it. Where is he?” I hesitated and turned to one of my men, “Where is Mason?” I asked, right in front of Nando.The man shook his head, “I haven't seen him all day. None of us have,” he responded.The words echoed in my head, and Nando's voice echoed beside me, “He knows... he knows you're onto him, and he's made a run for it.”Nando’s words made sense, and my mind was starting to churn with all sorts of thoughts. There had been something off about Mason since we caught Nando— maybe even since Lino.He hadn't come down to the cell for once, and I had barely seen him. It was almost like he had been hiding away all this time, and I just never really noticed.Everything was starting to align in my
Auctioned To My Mafia Lord Chapter 153: My Miguel; My Mafia Lord.
Ava’s POVIt was midday, and Gracie helped me with a napkin to wipe the breast milk that spilled down Mary Grace’s clothes while I was breastfeeding her. I wiped it, cleaned her face too, before lowering my shirt.I pulled her to my chest and cradled my precious baby in my arms as I began to hum a gentle lullaby. Miguel’s favourite one and I hoped it would one day be her favourite one too.The melody flowed from my lips like a soothing river, wrapping us in its tender embrace like a blanket and its effect was tremendous on my baby. Mary Grace fell straight to sleep with her palm clutched tightly around my finger. I noticed she loved to do that, and I loved the feel of her palm around my finger. It was warm, and it made me feel a tremendous amount of peace. I rocked her back and forth, with the rhythm of the lullaby, and Gracie grinned beside me, wrapping one hand around my arm while caressing Mary Grace with the other, although she let her be the minute she was asleep so she wouldn't
Auctioned To My Mafia Lord Chapter 152: Torturing the Devil
Miguel’s POVI walked out of the underground cell, making my way up to the ground floor. Perez spun around the second I entered the room, “I was just coming to see you,” he said as he slid his phone in his pocket.“I spoke with the doctor, he will be here shortly,” He reported, and I regarded him with a nod. “How’s he holding up?”“He’s still a long way from hell but I'll make sure he gets there,” I replied. Perez smiled, “He's more than earned it,” he remarked, “Care for a drink?” he gestured, raising the bottle for a second before going on to pour himself a glass.“Sure. I haven't had one in a while,” I motioned towards him, taking notice of the room. “Where's Mason?” I asked after a minute of not spotting him anywhere around the room. “I’m not sure but he should be outside,” he said, and offered me a glass of scotch. I gulped it all at once and lowered the glass to the table.“Any lead for the antidote yet?” He asked.I shook my head, “Not yet,” I paused, “But I was thinking, per
