Auctioned To My Mafia Lord Chapter 141: Goodbye Mama
Ava's POV Perez took me to the ground floor, and the minute Gracie saw me, she ran to me, “Ava, you're awake,” she grinned, but there was something sad about her smile, and with the situation of things, it was pretty normal. “I am,” I kissed her forehead, and my eyes darted to my angel, which she carried in her arms. Gracie offered her to me, and I took her, spraying her with kisses as my eyes filled with tears for what might very well be the last time I'd ever hold my baby in my arms. I tried to hold myself together, but I failed as my tears helped themselves. I pressed Mary Grace close to my chest and kissed her forehead before bringing my lips to her ear. “I love you,” I muttered, breaking into a full-blown sob, “M-mommy loves you so much.” My voice thinned as I squeezed her in my arms, “I will never forget you.” Final separation had to be the hardest thing a mother could ever be subjected to do. It was more painful than any pain I have ever felt in my life. My heart tore ap
Auctioned To My Mafia Lord Chapter 142: The Sound of Pain
Miguel's POV The patients, doctors, and nurses burst out of the building, all of them running for fear of what was to come at any moment now. I turned to Mason, “Have you heard anything from Perez yet?” “No. The last I heard of him was when he requested that we wait because Nando might be provoked to blow up the place if we went barging in.” “Is that so?” I clenched my jaw. That prick was causing more trouble than he was worth, and I was enraged. “Yes, but there's another way in. I got the blueprint of the hospital right here. There is a tunnel under the hospital, and we can use that to work our way in, and get them out.” “Sounds good to me. Let's go,” I said, and the minute we took a few steps all that hope was immediately sucked away. Boom! The hospital went up in flames and my heart leaped out of my chest as I watched the fire swallow up the building before my eyes. The force of the explosion pushed me to the ground. No, it wasn't that. It was the thought of them —Ava, Mar
Auctioned To My Mafia Lord Chapter 143: The Monster's Web
Ava's POVI woke up on the cold ground, and my senses were immediately flooded by the overpowering aroma of decay and neglect that filled the air. A stench that woke me up fast.I flicked my eyes open to the sunlit room, taking in my surroundings as I got into a seating position.The room was a complete mess, dusty and…well like I thought, messy.It was like being inside a trash bag —Only this was bigger.Empty bottles littered the floor with crumpled papers and discarded clothing scattered about in disarray.Breathing was hard labor, and I would have given anything not to breathe right now. Everything was disgusting, and I could feel a puke crawling up my throat, but I swallowed it.Yet the single thought that I had slept among this trash made my skin crawl even more.“I see you're finally awake,” his voice echoed through the room, and my eyes shot to the entrance where he stood, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest.Fernando.His eyes fixed on me, blazing wi
Auctioned To My Mafia Lord Chapter 144: Baby Host
Miguel's POVThe car arrived at the largest private hospital in the city a while later, and I took Mary Grace from Gracie’s arms as I headed inside the building.She was now asleep, and she looked so at peace. I held her tightly in my arms as I walked, keeping my eyes on her at all times. I couldn't help it.When the nurse had said it, I put it off as normal concern but the whole ride I had been worrying about her like crazy, and now that she was finally in my arms, I couldn't help but notice that her temperature was slightly off balance.She was a little too warm, or maybe I was overthinking it, which, in any case, couldn't be helped.My heart felt heavy, and not knowing what was really wrong with her was driving me crazy enough.There was something wrong with my little girl? The word twisted in my chest.I really hoped it wa
Auctioned To My Mafia Lord Chapter 145: To Love A Child
Miguel's POV My knees weakened. Every bit of this information sounded fishy. It was planned. It had to be because none of this made sense. I clenched my fist and the name of the culprit, easily came to mind. Nando. He must have done this. But something as dangerous as this? I was sure he didn't come up with the idea or do it alone. Li —fucking— No. That bastard son of a DiAngelo! Nando wasn't smart enough to pull this off, so this must have been Lino’s plan—that nutjob. He injected my daughter with the biohazard and set the ranch on fire. It was his fail-safe just in case I saved her and didn't die in the attempt. She was going to end up being the death of me either way. Lino. I clenched my teeth. Bastardo! My eyes flared. I needed to beat this, it was the only way he wouldn't win. “Please, doctor. You have to do something about it,” I grabbed his arm, “Please, you need to rid my daughter of the compound. I don't care how much it takes, I'll pay any price. Just find a cure,
Auctioned To My Mafia Lord Chapter 146: Who Could The Source Be?
Miguel's POVA few hours later, the result of the test came, and I was summoned to the doctor’s office. When I walked into his office, he had the report in his hands, and a look on his face that wasn't too promising.This couldn't be good.“Take a seat, Mr. Castell,” the doctor said, gesturing to the seat, and I shuffled across the room, and sat down.He flipped through the report in his hand and darted his gaze from the paper to me.“The result of your tests came back,” he paused, scratching his ear, “I have some bad news for you,” he said, and slid the result to me.I picked it up and glanced through the paper but I couldn't make sense of what I was looking at. It was all figures and medical jargon that I couldn't decipher.“What am I looking at here, doctor?” I asked after a minute, lowering the report to the table.“It's positive,” he clarified with a finger pointing at the result, “The biohazard was detected in all three of you. The result also indicates the level, and you have
Auctioned To My Mafia Lord Chapter 147: Painful Choices
Ava's POVMy brow creased with shock as I stared at the disgusting man before me.What had he done? What had he done to my little angel? This monster.Tears brimmed in my eyes as his words echoed in my head.Miguel was going to die in twenty-one days, and my daughter was a host for a biohazard.I didn't want to believe it, but it didn't sound like he was lying. Fernando was too proud about this news, and from the way he was boasting about it, I could tell it was real. He had really injected my daughter with the vial. What a bastard! I wanted to squeeze the life out of him.“You monster!” I shouted, “How could you do that to her! How could you? Did you really have to involve my daughter in your cruel plans? Leave my daughter out of your plan!” I yelled, tears streaming down my face."You’re a monster!" I screamed over and over as tears flowed out of me in buckets.Fernando laughed maniacally.“Am I?” He stooped before me and cocked his head, wearing a smile, “Fair enough. Maybe I am,
Auctioned To My Mafia Lord Chapter 148: Her Hell
Ava's POVI shook my head, lowering my gaze to the antidote Fernando had broken before returning my gaze to him.No. It wasn't possible. It couldn't be. That couldn't have been the only antidote he had. It couldn't be. I refused to believe it.I couldn't let myself believe that the only antidote that could save my child's life was gone. No way. Believing would mean abandoning hope and giving up on my chance to save my daughter and the man I loved.There was no way I could give up on that. If I did, then all this would be for nothing. All my suffering and choice to come here would be for nothing, and that didn't sit well with me.What did I do this for? Why did I give myself up? It would all be useless and meaningless, and I couldn't accept that or even believe it.Fernando was lying. He had to be. There had to be other antidotes.I scrambled to my knees and grabbed him by the knee, holding onto him like my life depended on it. It did, in a way, because if anything were to happen to

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
