Chapter 62: Shopping to Kidnapping
Laia's POV
It hasn't been all that long since Az and I began running a new firm with the aid of his pals, but I was relieved to find that his business acumen is far above what I had anticipated.
I turned to my secretary as we were both watching the livestream of the debut of our project and asked, "Can you recommend a decent gift for a man?"
She grinned and asked, "Is it for Mr. Elrod?"
Seeing her smile made me realize that our employees had never seen me act affectionately toward my husband, despite how sweet he is to me. I just don't feel comfortable showing off our relationship to others.
I nodded and said, "What do you typically get your boyfriend?" As I felt my cheeks sting with embarrassment, I turned away.
"I'm not sure what the boss loves, but I normally get my boyfriend a pricey collection of anime figures as a gift because he enjoys watching anime," she retorted.I paused to consider my husband'

It's been a day since my wife disappeared, and we received reports that the kidnappers took her while she was shopping alone. I had no idea why she went out alone, and I felt so frustrated and helpless that I lost my appetite as we kept on searching for her whereabouts. According to the witnesses, the kidnappers took my wife in a white van that left immediately after capturing her. "Az, you need to take a break; you haven't eaten even just a bit," Carlo suggested with a tone of worry. "I can't stop until I can find my wife," I replied as I looked through the reports that the investigators sent to me. "It would be better to take a break for a bit; this is not good for your health," Eric added as he took some papers from my desk. "Don't worry too much; I already begged my father to help us find your wife—I'm sure we'll hear some good news soon," John reassured as he walked back and forth while looking through his phone, exhausting all his resources to help out. "How can I rest while

Mr. Moretti looked at us in amusement after hearing Carlo's words. "That's quite interesting—the HexPhantom offering his service to the underground organization," he chuckled."I believe you already know my capabilities, so I will not further discuss the kind of service I can provide for your organization," Carlo replied confidently.I was so confused due to the sudden change of tone from my friend to Mr. Moretti—it was as if he were a different person in front of me. "I know, we have been recruiting you ages ago, but if we help you deal with the Black Panthers, we may lose more than we can gain," he replied with a serious tone."I'll give you ownership of the current company we built; the project recently succeeded, and it's only a matter of time before we can earn a huge sum," I offered despite hesitation, thinking I was ready to give up everything for my wife's safety."I am now quite unsure of your business management ability; I have no idea why Mr. Dominique trusted his companies

Carlo's words weighed so much on my mind, making me able to gather all my thoughts. I was able to successfully collect the sum sought by the kidnappers in a short time with the support of our friends and family. I felt grateful yet scared since almost nothing was left of our assets. I knew we would have a hard time due to poverty after this incident, but saving my wife's life is more important than any leisure or comfort.As we were planning how to save my wife in Mr. Moretti's office, I received a call from my dad asking me to fetch Sienna on their behalf. My mom suddenly fainted due to worry and was unconscious at the hospital. I felt the gravity of the situation crashing over me again as I faltered and stumbled to the ground.I'm not the only one who is in pain. Even my parents and friends are trying their best to assist me—I must remain strong.I felt dizzy as my sight grew dim. I haven't had a good rest these past few days, which has taken a toll on my body."Dude!" John jolted in

I secretly talked to my dad regarding Sienna's pregnancy as my mom was being assisted by the nurse to the bathroom. He groaned heavily, his brow wrinkled, and his head shook slightly in astonishment. "I'll talk to Sienna and Carlo. Let's not mention this to your mom in the meantime," he whispered while cautiously looking at the bathroom door."Is there something wrong?" my mom asked upon stepping out of the bathroom with the nurse by her side, holding the drip bag in her hand.I nervously smiled and replied, "Nothing, Mom, we're just talking about the doctor's instructions."She suddenly lowered her gaze, looking to the side as if thinking about something heavy while curling her lips into a frown. "Don't overthink it, honey. We're merely discussing the doctor's instructions, and he specifically stated that you shouldn't stressed out too much," my dad added as he stood up and supported my mom back to the bed."I know, but I can't stop worrying about Laia," my mom replied, looking at me

I opened my eyes and saw my mom tirelessly caring for me. However, I had no strength to move a single finger, then immediately drifted back to sleep just a few minutes after waking up. Remembering the last sight of my wife moments before the yacht exploded, I couldn't help myself asking God why I was still alive. My dreams constantly repeated the dreadful incident, breaking my core due to regret."Oh God, why didn't you take me instead?" I asked as I walked down the path of the unknown.After walking endlessly and tirelessly, I suddenly felt like drowning in the water, leading me deep into the ocean, where I saw the explosion of the boat right above me. I slowly sank deeper into the abyss as I shut my eyes with my heavy heart.When I woke up from the continuous nightmare, my eyes kept shedding tears, causing my mother to panic as soon as she saw me awake. "Mom..." I muttered in a weak voice, as the oxygen mask hindered me from talking further."I'll call the doctor," my dad rattled as
Aziel: Ex-Mafia's Son-in-Law Chapter 68: It's Not Her
I no longer remember the last time I had dreamed of anything despite exhausting myself as I worked tirelessly to distract my mind. My slim hope was cut short with a call from Mr. Moretti, stating that they would stop the exhaustive search for my wife as the storm approached the city, bringing chaos to the land and the sea."I'm sorry, Aziel," Mr. Moretti said and paused briefly in hesitation. "This is as much as I can assist you.""I understand, sir," I replied bitterly, pursing my lips hard till they tasted like iron and swelled up. " Thank you so much for extending your help,"The gray sky cloaked in a melancholic veil and the tumultuous pitter-patter of droplets on rooftops and windowsills mirror the chaos within one's confused and agonizing mind. The simultaneous roars of the firmament quivered the land along with my empty heart, which was slowly shattering at every banging sound it created.The feeble chime of my phone dwindled into near insignificance as it rang once more, oversh

After more than half a year of attempts to find the perpetrator who caused both my father-in-law's and my wife's car accidents, the investigators finally caught him. The bittersweet relief clashed with my agony and rage, followed by self-blame as I lowered the phone, placing it slowly on the bed. "Was that the investigators?" Carlo inquired as soon as I hung up the call. "Yeah, they finally caught him," I replied. "It took them a while," he grumbled in disappointment. I clamped my jaws as I felt increasingly frustrated, then flopped onto the bed with desperation. A deep sigh escaped from my mouth as I yearned for a moment of relief. I tried to seek comfort in my mind, but my inner turmoil prevented it. Restlessness surged through me. I couldn't resist the urge to shift and turn on the mattress. It felt like a storm of thoughts and emotions was swirling within me, making any chance for rest seem like a fantasy. "Man, I know how anxious you are right now, but we need to sleep so we
