Ex-Wife's Return to the Mafia Lord Chapter 148
Unsettling turnsHarry's POVFrom the moment he walked in, I knew he wasn’t alone. However, what puzzled me was why he chose to show up in the living room without anyone by his side; it seemed a bit odd.I watched in despair and pain as Jack walked away from Celine, who barked at him. I gasped immediately. It hurt deep down to see him treat her so ruthlessly. My thoughts tormented me every second as I watched. It felt like a thousand drumsticks pounding loudly in my eardrums. I struggled against the wire binding my hands to break free. A small shard of tin still coated with rust tore through my skin, causing unbearable pain as I stumbled over the floor, praying to break free from its hold.Celine rushed over to pick up her torn clothes and partially covered her cleavage. Her gaze shifted in my direction, and I flinched. I felt guilty in that instant, even though I didn’t know how the information leaked to Jack or how he managed to track me down despite my careful planning. “I'm so sor

Eerie emotionsCeline's POVI felt sorry for him, seeing him in pain and in this condition. It seemed like he was going through all of this because of me, even though I never knew how everything we planned got messed up. I still think he deserves care and attention, not necessarily out of love, but from a desire to see him relieved.My heartbeat quickened as I noticed the sudden surge of emotion I felt towards him. It ran like a spark down my spine, jolting me out of my hardened, emotionless state.I was about to break the rules I had so carefully upheld all these years, unknowingly, when Levi showed up, interrupting the moment."Oh, Jess," I muttered in my heart."Alright, I will be joining you soon," I replied, and he turned on his heels, leaving the room."I'm sorry, but I have to go now. All you need is rest, and soon everything will be fine," I assured him, standing up."Thank you once again for your concern," he said, and I gave him a warm smile as a response. I turned to leave

Passionate moment“You never told me you were going to spend the night here. When did you make this sudden change?” I asked, a bit concerned.She hissed, “That's because Aaron isn't in town, and the house is just too big for me to stay alone,” she spat out, and I simmered, narrowing my gaze at the expression on her face.“You seem to change your mood so easily. Just a simple question, and you get all worked up,” I teased, and she winced.“That’s because you chose to ignore my earlier inquiry.”“What inquiry?”“That you should give Harry a chance once again,” she articulated, and I fumed.“Alright, I’ll think about it and get back to you,” I replied, placing my hands on her shoulders as she smiled warmly.*****Two days after, I was seated in the living room after a long day of activities and meetings. I was elated that everything was finally in place. The scandals had been successfully taken off the internet as fake, and most of the blogs vanished as a result.It was my most memorable

A distinct momentHarry's POVI felt a pang in my heart when he interrupted. Deep down, I cursed him at that instant, even though I knew how desperately I had longed for her acceptance and the moment we would share our first passionate time together.That creepy feeling set in once more as I narrowed my gaze at Levi. He always had his way of interrupting, didn't he? Still feeling utterly lost, I thought he was just interrupting on purpose. He surely harbored feelings from his gaze and stare; that much I was certain of, which I wouldn’t give in to or allow.He had a side that was still unclear to me as I watched his face locked in an intense stare while Celine collected the phone and moved to the other end of the room to take the call.I had the urge to confront him, and after a moment of hesitation, I made up my mind to do so.“What are you up to?” I inquired, looking intensely into his gaze.“Pardon? What do you mean?” he asked as though he had no clue what I was saying.“Your plans,

AbsurdCeline’s POVThe irritating, pungent scent of the environment jolted my body, sending a shiver down my spine, undeniable. I opened my eyes. Total darkness, absolute darkness, greeted my sight."Argh!" I screamed, clutching my head firmly and reaching for anything around me to give a sense of where I was. Why the heck couldn't I remember anything? Not even where I was or what had happened to me. Suddenly, flashes of previous events flickered in my mind, and I swayed at the thoughts.I remembered waiting for the client in the car for a while, yet he wouldn't show up, and his phone wasn't connecting. I tried to brush off the rising frustration, feeling utterly disappointed in his actions. Why would he insist on meeting if he knew he wouldn't show up? "Take me home."That was all I could recall.How did I end up here, and where on earth was Levi? The last thing I remembered was being with him in the car. My heart raced at the sudden realization that I had been kidnapped, and Levi m

The unimaginable He takes a few steps closer, and for the first time in his presence, I feel a strange wave of fear and uncertainty creeping down my spine. My entire body trembles."I have been with you, protecting you, and showing how much I care for you and your son. But it never occurred to you that someday you might look into my eyes and tell me you love me, right? Answer me!" he barked, making me startle."Instead, you went ahead and gave that cheap scumbag you call your ex the leverage to touch you and even attempt an intimate moment with you," he snapped angrily, and I winced, still in shock."Levi!" I called out."Don't call me that," he snapped, his hands coiling into fists. I simmered. He was different—completely different. Everything he just said didn't make sense to me. I needed to understand why he had suddenly changed and why he had so much to confess after staying under my roof for so long without revealing his true intentions."Argh," I groaned as the increasing pain

ApprehendedHarry's POVSitting in the living room, my heart raced, and my eyes never stopped looking at the clock hanging on the wall. It was already past eleven at night, yet she wasn't back. I knew something was wrong and had already called the cops, who were also on alert.My gaze shifted to Henry, who had managed to fall asleep on the couch after countless moments of worry and even sobbing. He was so scared that something might have happened to his mom, which I couldn't deny. But at some point, I had to keep my composure to calm his racing heart, even though, deep down, my own heart was seething with pain and worry.I learned she didn't go out with her guards, which was unlike her. Was she thinking about her freedom after Jack's defeat and decided to act on her own impulse? Or was it her driver, Levi, who suggested such a reckless move?My worry increased as I paced the living room back and forth countless times. My hands slammed gently against the wall repeatedly as frustration

Tragic moment“Now move,” he indicated, and I bit my inner lips gently, staring intensely at his darkened gaze and immature expression.“I said move,” he retorted, this time much louder, and his voice echoed through the space.“Who is he? Who is that?” I heard a voice from inside approaching.“An intruder,” he replied, throwing me a dagger-like glare.“You! What are you doing here, and who gave you this address?” The perplexed voice of Levi surged as his gaze met mine.“Speak before we blow off your skull!” the guy with the pistol now behind me retorted, but I remained silent, calculating my next move, not a flicker of fear in my composure.“Let go of me this moment!” Celine's voice erupted from inside, and I groaned, forcing my way in with a crouch. The bullet shot out in a flash, and I realized Levi had dropped to the floor just as I crouched. It veered to his side. The guy who had fired the shot ran toward him, and I shoved my way into the room to rescue Celine from whoever was ins

Dungeon Celine's POVWalking past the hallway, I gasped, holding my breath as I took in the surroundings. A tiny pang pulled at me, but then a surge of determination suddenly took hold of my being. I wasn't used to places like this, yet I snapped back to focus as I stepped into the lounge.“Ma'am, what do you need?” a waitress asked, walking toward me. I glanced around, taking in the sight of the place. It revealed a more intense environment, a mix of individuals. Some had a dreaded appearance, wearing rugged, torn jeans or disheveled suits. A few others, more decently dressed, were all engrossed in their activities and fun.I found an empty table at the other end of the hall, away from the cramped seats and the litter of bottles beneath many of the tables. “Just give me water,” I said curtly, and the waitress hurried off to fulfill my request. My heart raced wildly, but I knew I had to end all of this once and for all. The leader of this particular group controlled the other organiz

ForbiddenQuickly brushing my hands off, a cool shiver ran down my spine. In a moment of clarity, I realized what had just happened, which jolted me. I reached for her hands, tapping gently, but there was no response.“Gosh, what have I done?”I hastily pulled away from her and stroked her hair, letting my fingers trail down the side of her neck. It was instantly cold, and I jerked backward in shock. My body broke into a cold sweat despite the chills running through me. This can’t be happening. No!“Mum!” I called to her, but there was no response. My body trembled slightly. I raised her hands gently, but they dropped slowly, and that was when the true reality struck me. No! No! What have I done? I slammed my hands hard on the couch, making a reverberating noise that echoed through the entire room. Amidst my worries and misery, I still realized that I had just done something I shouldn't have.“Mum!” I called again, my eyes fixed on her face, which was still innocent, her eyes slightly

Her deathHarry's POV A surge of relief washed through me as I anticipated her call. I had sent her another gift just yesterday and hoped she had received it.Morning had already come, yet I hadn’t heard from her; not even a text. The earlier relief was gradually fading away. She was right to treat me the way she did; I had tried so hard to absorb that truth. Still, I couldn’t shake off the urge to go see Mum. She had given me false information about Dad’s death, but Louis had advised me to calm down before confronting her. That advice, however, had lingered long enough.It had been two days of intense worry and sorrow. Each time there was a glimmer of hope, it drowned in an ocean of grief and bitterness. I doubted if I could hold on any longer; I couldn’t heal unless I sorted things out quickly. I pulled my phone out of my breast pocket and hesitated for a moment before typing a text to Celine.Countless texts had been sent over the past few days, yet none received a reply. Still, I

Another Battle?My heart wandered to what Sharon had said earlier, and I couldn't shake off the urgency I felt to meet her. She sounded too serious, and whatever important information she had to disclose, I knew it was related to the past. As much as I never wanted to revisit my past, I still needed to know what it was all about.I had the urge to call Evelyn, but I restrained myself. There was no need to burden her with my issues anymore. I tried to grasp sleep throughout the night as I awaited the morning, but all my efforts proved futile, and I was already giving up in frustration.I reached my hand to the head of the bed where my podcast device was. I tapped to play the popular music streaming on it, tuning it to a lower key and pitch before slumping back onto the bed. I carefully freed my mind from all worries, and soon, the music synced with my heart. Slowly, I closed my eyes, and soon, I drifted off to sleep.*****Sitting in this popular resort at the far-right end of the larg

Intriguing SuspenseCeline’s POVMy heart shattered even more as I watched his reactions and flimsy flirting excuses, which he thought would win me over. I felt like I was losing it. He had taken something precious from me in the past, and as if that wasn’t enough, he still had to hide it from me; an act I despised so much.“I never want to see you near us again,” I cursed, looking intensely at his derailed expression, masked with even greater pain and hurt.“Please, for the…”“Just go,” Henry cut in, and he swallowed hard. I hated seeing my son angry, just as much as I felt the pain of a reopened wound. If my mum were alive, I wouldn’t have gone through the torment I endured. I doubted I would have faced the ridicule and humiliation his singular action caused me. Glaring at him, still crouched on the floor, I felt like strangling the life out of him for taking what was so precious and priceless to me, yet I tried so hard to restrain the urge.“Why are you still pleading? Take your di

BrokenHarry's POVI felt a shiver run down my spine the moment she pointed to the diary on the floor. My heart skipped a beat; or thousands. I distinctly remembered tucking the diary into the shelves, so how did it end up here, on the floor in this room?"How did you get that?" I asked, the perplexed look on my face betraying my confusion.She scoffed, shooting me a deadly stare that set my entire body aflame. "You still have the nerve to ask that? Isn't it your handwriting on it? You're just so pathetic," Evelyn spat, and I winced."Just get out of here this minute!" Celine barked, and my heart sank even more. Her pained expression and the tears on her cheeks tugged at something inside me. I tried to reach for her, but Evelyn slapped my hand away, rolling her eyes derisively."Never try that again," she snapped. Celine said nothing, her head buried in her hands, her face a picture of intense disdain.I crouched low, dropping to my knees. "Please, I'm so sorry for whatever you saw in

ExposedCeline's POV“Get the things ready and well arranged in the car while I quickly change into something perfect,” I instructed the new driver who had just started working.“Alright, ma,” he responded, turning to leave as I headed towards the staircase.“Ahh, girl, I’m so happy for you!” Evelyn chimed in from the door, hobbling towards me with a smile plastered all over her face.“Please calm down. You know you don’t need to walk fast in your condition. Slow and steady,” I teased, and she scoffed.“So, I shouldn’t walk fast anymore? Where is it written?” she snapped.“In your antenatal instructions, of course.”“No, you could have just called me a little child that should crawl instead.” She finally reached me.“You aren’t dressed yet.”“Yeah, but I’m going upstairs to get dressed now. Aren’t you coming over to help me with buttoning up?” I asked.“You should have just taken me along with you. It’s obvious you were actually waiting for me, pretending not to care,” she teased, com

AcceptedHarry's POVI could feel her breath heavily against mine as I deepened the kiss, my tongue savoring every drop of sweetness from her lips. I only pulled away when I realized she was out of breath.My gaze fixed on her intensely; I could see the fire and sparks buried within her eyes. I wasn't going to let go. I had long desired this moment, but somehow, I was denied it by the circumstances that followed thereafter.I kissed her again, enjoying every moment as she groaned, feeling the tingling sensation in her body. Her hands strayed to my back, her fingers digging deep through my shirt. I kissed her even more, lifting her to sit on the table while keeping our lips locked. My hands moved through her long, flowing gown, sliding up from her knees to her thighs. Her groans intensified, stirring my desire to continue. I could feel myself getting hard, not wanting to stop anytime soon.Just then, a bit of sanity struck me, hitting me hard enough to reset my senses. I stopped in my

Tingling SensationCan't believe he said those words. Wasn't he supposed be glad if I gave him a second chance in our lives. Or was he just putting on an act to get at me?“Why did you say that?” Evelyn asked, her eyes widened in shock as well. I silently thanked her in my heart for speaking up.“Because it's not the right time for that. Besides, my top priority is to ensure she's in perfect condition and not the other way around.”“Alright, if you say so,” Evelyn exclaimed.“But Dad, I can't wait for us to be one happy family again. Besides, Mum isn’t complaining about it, is she?” He turned to ask me, and I froze in place.“Mum!”“Yes, cutie, not really,” I replied, and he grinned.“You see, Mum isn’t complaining.”“Can we drop this issue for now? There are many other things to deal with right now.”“See, there is,” I replied, feeling utterly relieved at that moment. I wasn’t going to face any tough questions, even though I knew Henry had many to ask.*****Two months laterI steppe
