Penulis: VERARI
last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2025-02-22 13:37:54

A soft cry was heard. Carita sobbed as she talked about her life. Poppy also shed tears.

Poppy remembered that whenever her stepmother cried because she talked about her biological mother, they would always cry together. They have spent a lot of time in both joy and sorrow. As a result, she begged in her heart to hear that Carita did not intend to abandon her.

“My adoptive sister's daughter was in the car on that tragic day. Her body has not been found. But, until now, I have not stopped looking for her.”

They lived together for over ten years, but Carita said that Poppy was involved in an accident that killed her biological mother. With that one lie, her hope that Carita would never have a relationship with Saul vanished. Flint must've told her the truth that night.

Tears streamed down Poppy's face. ‘Liar! Why are you telling that lie, Mother? What's my fault that you're so cruel to me? All this time, I have loved you with all my heart.’

“I also hope to meet you and my sister-in-law.

  • Captive of Mafia Desire   85. Robin’s Tears

    “Damn, you should have shot your mother.” Robin was enraged, with all of his curses coming out of his mouth. His hands clenched tightly in his lap, as if he was trying to keep himself from hitting someone.Poppy smiled sadly as she acknowledged her husband's attention. “How can I kill him, sir? I lack the courage to—”“Oh, I can't take it anymore... I am going to meet the director of this film and ruin his career. He shouldn't make a weak male character based on his mother's trick!”Poppy's expression frowned as she looked at her husband. Robin's gaze remains fixed on the screen, and there are no earphones in his ears to eavesdrop on Rafael and Carita's conversation.“Damn woman, who is that annoying actress? I really want to tear apart the ugly face.” Robin expressed his rage.Poppy gaped, realizing Robin wasn't sympathizing with her but was preoccupied with the movie he was watching. She immediately turned her face away, concealing her embarrassed and disappointed expression.“I can

  • Captive of Mafia Desire   86. Special Service

    The man became very scared. Hearing Robin speak loudly and in an angry tone is disastrous for everyone.“I am Jerome, the owner of this cafe, and I sincerely apologize. I am delighted to see you visit my small café and even disturb your comfort.” Jerome immediately bowed politely and apologized.“Tsk! So what do you want?”“My cafe has a VIP room reserved for special guests. Several Luciano company directors are currently visiting this cafe. If you wish, I can take you to our special room and provide special service.”Robin thought for a moment. There's nothing wrong with flaunting Poppy in front of the company's directors so they can brag about their relationship until Dante hears it.He smiled faintly, imagining his grandfather's guilt-ridden expression. He is certain; Dante must still believe that his marriage is a fake, despite the fact that it is true.“Take us there.”Jerome's eyes and mouth curled up, expressing happiness. “Please follow me.” Then show the way politely.Robin w

  • Captive of Mafia Desire   87. Husband's Influence

    Robin's loud voice immediately drew everyone's attention. There was no one there who didn't know Robin Luciano, and the music was quickly turned off.“Wow, Mr. Robin is also here!” One of Luciano's employees, a middle-aged man, exclaimed. He was standing, forcing the woman in his lap.“Gosh!” Another man not far from Robin approached and patted Jerome's shoulder. “Mr. Jerome, why did you offer a girl to a newlywed? Ha ha!”Jerome glanced down with embarrassment. He believed that all men in the Luciano family liked women. The rumor that Robin is of the same gender is somewhat contradicted by her marriage.However, many people, including Jerome, believe that Robin still enjoys having fun with women even after marriage. When he heard Robin was visiting his cafe, he instantly prepared the nicest woman he had recently purchased from Saul.Jerome is also aware of Poppy's presence but doesn’t regard Robin Luciano's wife as an important person. Poppy is viewed similarly to the jewelry that Ro

  • Captive of Mafia Desire   88. Death Threat

    The directors and colleagues at Luciano's company were completely surprised by what they heard. Robin Luciano would completely destroy Jerome's business simply because that person offended his wife's feelings.Poppy was no less surprised. She wanted to stop Robin's order, but Robin grabbed and half dragged her out of the room. She occasionally looked back to see Jerome kneeling and begging Antonio while shouting at them.“Madam and Mr. Robin Luciano, please forgive me!” Jerome exclaimed in tears. This time, the cafe owner looked terrified and sincerely apologized, even though it was too late.People who witnessed the incident realized something important: offending Robin Luciano's wife is the same as seeking a painful death.Businessmen's lives revolve around their businesses. If they lose everything, their lives will come to an end.Being poor is a painful, slow death. As a result, it wasn't uncommon for many cunning businessmen around Robin to use various methods to keep their wealt

    Poppy stared at the driver, who was speaking with the bodyguards who had just arrived from a distance. The driver instructed the guards to secure the parking lot. He was sure that Robin would not rush out of the car.‘Come back here, Mr. Driver.’ Poppy begged inwardly.Robin's threat had just worried her very much. She knew if he wasn't joking, he would have placed Jerome's corpse in front of her room. She had to speak carefully so that Jerome's name did not slip out of her mouth.“You didn't respond to me. Do you plan on whispering that person's name in your sleep, as if you were dreaming Rafael?”Poppy tightened her fists to stop her body from shivering in panic. Then she responded, "No, Mr. Robin." From now on, I shall only say my legal husband's name while sleeping.Robin was astounded by her confession. Because he was stunned, the blood in his body seemed to cease flowing.Robin heard it correctly. Poppy expresses her heart. His wife will constantly and discreetly mention his nam

  • Captive of Mafia Desire   90. Robin & the Women

    Poppy sighed several times as she observed her husband lying down and viewing something on his phone. Robin is still naked, with only a blanket covering his waist.Meanwhile, Poppy sat peacefully, doing nothing. However, she held the book as if she were reading it while waiting for Robin to drive her home.Robin's apartment is filled with business-related books. Poppy was uninterested and became dizzy while reading it. Inevitably, she could only observe Robin's unusual behavior in quiet.“There are fruits in the fridge. Prepare it for me,” Robin ordered, knowing Poppy had nothing to do and was not reading.“Okay.”Finally, she has something to do other than sit around watching her husband. She then left the room, looking for the refrigerator in the luxurious and spacious apartment.‘Does Mr. Robin sleep here whenever he doesn't return to the mansion? This place is very clean, and it seems that it is visited every day.’ Poppy thought as she opened the refrigerator she had finally found

    Meanwhile, Poppy was unaware that a man with only a towel around his waist was watching her from behind. Robin was about to reprimand Poppy for defying his orders.Instead, Robin froze when he heard Poppy's soft, muffled cry. “What happened? Does she remember her stepmother's betrayal? Is she crying for that person?” He muttered.A suffocating shadow appeared in Robin's mind, as if Poppy were saying, ‘Don't hurt Mr. Jerome. Do not kill him, sir. Why did you hurt the person I adore so much?’Poppy may be saddened for Jerome, the man who made his wife fall in love at first sight. She even mentioned his name several times on the way. Robin believed she had fallen in love with Jerome.“Damn,” Robin cursed, trying to get rid of that horrible imagination. “I shouldn't get too close to that woman. She completely ruined my mind. My brain will rot if I keep thinking about it.”Poppy turned towards him after hearing his soft voice, though it wasn't very clear. “Are you done, Mr. Robin? When wil

  • Captive of Mafia Desire   92. A Man Who Doesn't Need Love

    Robin felt a pleasure that caused his brain to stop working. He swings his hips slowly, savoring each grip and friction that drifts away.He hid his face next to Poppy's head after seeing her wet eyes, which he assumed were caused by the pleasure he had given her. His eyes were closed, and his mouth was slightly open, as he tried not to moan with pleasure.Robin's pleasure and enjoyment, however, were abruptly cut short when Poppy asked a question that immediately threw everything off.“What did you say?”“No, sir. Never mind.” Poppy was also surprised by her own question, which she should keep to herself.Robin ceased to move, but their bond remained intact. He looked at her after successfully maintaining a neutral expression.“Which girls are you referring to?”“Forget it, sir. I just misspoke.” Poppy turned her face away, still unaccustomed to being stared at by him for too long.Robin, on the other hand, immediately jerked Poppy's chin back to face him. “Do you ask about the girls

    ‘Why is he suddenly calling me by that name?’ Poppy had a restless mind.She's not sure why she was upset when he called her by her real name. For a long time, she hoped Robin would call Poppy's name, but he seemed to want to distance himself, as if he wanted to return her to her home with Stella Valentine's identity.“What do you mean, Robin?”Robin's words to her about being able to protect herself can mean various things. However, only one thought came to her mind. He may abandon her, making it impossible for him to protect her.“Return to the shooting position.” Robin ordered, reluctantly explaining.Poppy finally resumed her training, even though she remained curious. They only talked about proper shooting technique, not his previous words.Even though she appeared to have forgotten his words, her mind was still filled with questions. She didn't dare to question or interrupt him, as he was serious about teaching her.“You will become accustomed to it and proficient if you study d

    Robin paused while squeezing his chest. He doesn't understand why he suddenly felt someone calling him. When he sat down with a bad feeling, he raised both of his eyebrows.“What happened to the woman?” He muttered.He immediately swung his legs rapidly. Finally, he arrived at the shooting practice field in less than five minutes.“What are you doing, Jose?” Robin snapped when he noticed his wife pointing a gun at one of their prisoners.Robin's loud voice usually makes Poppy's chest tremble with fear. But she was so relieved to hear that sound that she wanted to throw the gun and run to hug him.“I comply with your request. Why?” Jose didn't understand Robin's outrage.“I told you to teach her to shoot and not kill people!”Robin cursed his heart. He shouldn't be distracted by minor issues like wedding rings. Because of his negligence, Poppy may recall her trauma.“Oh, I think it would be better if Mrs. Poppy used a human as a target. What if I change the target to an animal? She app

    Meanwhile, Robin has no idea what difficulties his wife is facing. He is actually looking for a wedding ring that is both elegant and visible to everyone.“This one appears to fit on her ring finger.”Robin smiled with satisfaction as he folded his hands in front of his chest and leaned back in his chair. He imagined Poppy smiling broadly, showing off the ring to everyone, and then saying she belonged to Robin Luciano.“Mr. Robin, I am here.” Antonio opened the door and approached Robin, standing near his chair. “Are you planning to buy that ring?” He asked after seeing the computer.Robin squinted his eyes, noticing the suspicious movements of his right hand. When Antonio saw the ring with the colorless diamonds, he tilted his head slightly. He does not seem to like Robin's idea of purchasing the ring.“That ring does not suit you, sir.”“Do you think I'll wear it?”“Oh, do you want to buy that ring for Mrs. Poppy?”“People are doubting my marriage because you are unable to read the

    “Sir, stop it... ahh,” complained a young girl.“Ah, dammit! Don't make too many moves! You're the one who seduced me... just spread your legs wider!”Poppy's eyes widened as she spotted a handsome man and a young girl naked on the couch. Her face flushed, and Robin closed her eyes.“Don't look at other men's things!” Robin fixed his gaze on them, who had finally become aware of his presence. “Get out of my office!” He snapped them.The man immediately dragged the girl out, carrying their clothing. Robin is used to seeing such scenes, but not with his wife or in his office.Robin attempted to contain his rage. It's only been two days since he didn't show up, and his office was used for immoral activities. He was eager to achieve his goal and finish them all off.“Robin...” Poppy attempted to release his hand after hearing the door close.Robin withdrew his hand from her eyes. He threw his jacket on the chair and called Antonio.“Where are you? Some people dare to make love in my offic

    Dante's desire was so obvious that even Poppy, who was not particularly good at reading facial expressions, could recognize it. No matter what happens, she will not do vile things to others.Unfortunately, she did not have the authority to refuse his order. Robin stopped arguing with Dante as well.They have even arrived in front of the Luciano family headquarters at this point...“Hold my hand,” Robin said as they got out of the car.In that large Luciano headquarters parking lot, many tattooed men wear only sleeveless t-shirts. They immediately marched, briefly bowing to Robin.“Hello, Boss! It is unusual for you to come during the day,” said the burly man, the only one who was neatly dressed.“Grandpa instructed my wife to practice shooting. Prepare the place,” Robin ordered, leading Poppy through the large double door.“Oke, Boss!”“Remember, you must stay by my side,” Robin whispered.Poppy looked down. She squeezed her husband's leather jacket arm even more tightly.The atmosphe

    Dante was suddenly threatened by their lies. What lies does Dante mean? Because they have told many lies.Is it about their fake marriage or Poppy's true identity?Poppy and Robin are silent. At the very least, they must listen first so that they do not misunderstand and respond differently than Dante means, which would expose their other lies.“Poppy, you can't lie about your life. Should I call you Stella from now on?”Dante immediately investigated Poppy's relationship with the two women who claimed to be her mother. His grandfather informant will not find much because Robin has closed off the majority of Poppy's past.However, there are still some people who know Carita and her family and can be interviewed. Dante receives additional information overnight, confirming that Carita is Poppy's real stepmother.Dante has yet to discover the truth about their relationship, which includes April, who has taken on a new identity.

    Robin looked at his grandfather in disbelief. “So what, you said? I am her husband, and I have the authority to get rid of anyone who approaches her! Including you, Grandpa!”Dante's words, of course, made Robin even angrier. However, Dante quickly denied, “I want Poppy for our business. That is not what you think.”“Do you think I'll trust you?! Do you think I've never seen you call young girls into your room?”Poppy swallowed her hard saliva and tried to hide her disgust. She should have known that Dante is just like the rest of the mafia, always doing bad things, even though his current situation makes her feel sorry for him.However, Robin's words remained too shocking. She has only heard about Dante, who likes to hire night girls, and does not fully believe it. She hadn't expected it to be the truth.‘How is it possible that an elderly man like Dante Luciano could make love with a girl his grandson's age? Does he have no morals?’Poppy lightly squeezed her stomach. If she has a d

    Robin Luciano hummed vaguely, staring at himself in the bathroom mirror. Both of his hands squeezed the foamy hair, and then he slowly turned his head left and right, as if looking for a flaw on his face.“Am I really this handsome?”Robin paused in his movements before chuckling softly and briefly. Even though it was just him in the bathroom, he acted unhappy.‘Robin, please move faster... I like to see your handsome face when you are satisfied because of me.’He remembered Poppy's begging last night. His body trembled slightly, giving him vibrations from the pleasure he seemed to be experiencing.“Grandpa... Grandpa... don't expect to be able to seduce my wife. Your face is not as attractive as mine.” Robin grins at himself in the mirror.Knock, knock!A faint knock on the door jolts him out of his reverie.“Look, look... She can't wait to see me until she interrupts me while I'm still bathing.” Robin shuffled and clicked, one corner of his mouth raised.“Mr. Robin, do you still nee

    Sweating dampens their bodies. The air conditioner in the room was not turned on, so their naked bodies appeared shiny and wet. Their clothes were scattered on the floor, wet from sweat, and couldn't possibly be worn again.“Please let me go, Robin,” begged Poppy.She attempted to remove Robin's arms and legs, which were wrapped around her body like a cat that had caught prey and was unwilling to let go. Her hand slipped as she pressed Robin's sweaty arm.“Don't you understand what I'm doing?”“I don’t. You've been silent ever since.”“I'm trying to keep my seeds from scattering, stupid!” His voice vibrated on Poppy's cheek.Poppy wondered in her heart, ‘Is it that difficult to fertilize her womb until they have to stick together tightly in uncomfortable conditions?’“Engh... Mr. Robin!”Robin's wrapped feet are becoming increasingly tight. She could tell his manhood was getting harder, and his breathing hadn't been consistent after their steamy activity.“It's because you keep scatte
