Lonely Mafia Shall We Love Chapter 128
“It’s the third time’s a charm, idiotic moron,” Olivia snarks back.Henry tilts his head. “Still running your mouth even when so close to death,” he says, a smile full of contempt curling the corner of his lips.“Isn’t it the best moment to? Got nothing more to lose,” Olivia shrugs.Olivia is strangely yet understandably calm. She and Asher are outnumbered, each exit or entry point blocked by a flock of Henry’s men.A sliver of fear, or at the very least apprehension, should blaze inside her, yet none does, replaced instead by a tamed anticipation, kept in check by Asher’s reassuring presence.“Should I start with you?” Henry questions and ignores Asher in favor of aiming the gun in Olivia’s direction. “I’ve always wanted to shut your goddamn mouth since I first met you, but Nicolas had a plan for you, never allowed me to rough you up any more than what I was told.”Olivia can’t help the snort that escapes her mouth. “It’s hilarious that you never once won a fight you instigated again

Is that so?Henry: Yeah, you f*cking creep* * * * *“Five?” Olivia stupidly parrots.“Henry included, obviously.”Oh, yeah. Obviously.“Should we find out?” Asher resumes.Henry’s abrasiveness deflects at his unexpected predicament. Caden and William are framing him, the former seeming out of place and terrified as he avoids eye contact with both Olivia and Asher.“Let’s see for how long you can gloat,” Henry says. “Nicolas won’t let his plan fail because you refuse to learn your place and understand that my boss and his clan are the ones ruling over the city’s underground.”* * * * * * * * * * * * Back to Earlier that

Ash is genuinely having fun and he could end the fight now but he makes it last longer, granting brief moments of respite for Henry to somewhat catch his breath before the two clash again.Another thing Olivia cannot ignore is the way Asher moves.How adept and agile he is, swift yet always controlled, the experience and skills he honed throughout the years evident. It makes sense for a mob boss to know how to physically fight and defend themselves aside from firing a gun, but it also does not.Not to this extent.Olivia can tell Asher was put through self-defense classes, along with boxing and martial arts ones, among other things, and it’s strange. It has her tilting her head in wonder as she observes the one-sided battle, the questions that fleetingly arose flashing back in her head.An umpteenth element that Olivia muses about is how Ash circles Henry every now and then, tapping the sole of his naked foot on Henry’s immobile body before the latter moves again, shakily standing on

“Tournament. This is when he’ll reveal everything about you,” Henry says to Asher. “Dozens of bosses from around the world will be present, and almost every boss from the near city.”Ash falls quiet for a moment. Olivia peers at him, at Asher’s profile embellished with smudges of blood, and even like this Ash is pretty, Olivia muses, wishing to clean the skin of the carmine traces and drops.“I see,” Asher ultimately says and Olivia stands up, backtracking a couple of steps separating her from the wall.“That’s… That’s all I know. I don’t know what else you want but—”“This is enough,” Asher cuts Henry and retrieves the knife, blood seeping through the wound and trickling down Henry’s forearm. “You earned it.”“Earned wh—”Asher bores the blade’s sharp point on the side of the neck. “A peaceful death.”“You’ll start a war you can’t come back from, if you kill me.”“Let it be war,” Asher rasps, his gaze dropped on the way the knife slashes a path on the throat. “I’ll burn Nicolas’s cla

“Without an ounce of remorse or hesitation,” Asher immediately says. “You have to understand that I don’t let people cross my clan or me more than once. Ash does not. The only reason why Henry left the building alive the day of your moving out was because you were there. If you had not, Henry would be dead or held in my headquarters.”“Why did I make you change your mind?”Asher reclines and retracts his hand. “Because I wanted to hide Ash from you for a little longer.”Olivia curls her hand around Asher’s wrist. “You don’t have to hide Ash from me.”Asher opens his mouth to reply but Adam interrupts them.“Boss, any instruction for the body?” Adam asks and crouches to rummage through Henry’s pocket, retrieving a phone.“Get rid of it as usual and clean the place as well. Have some bribing at the ready in case the police get involved in some ways,” Asher says, the lollipop back in his mouth.“The car’s ready,” Walter adds after joining them. “We have a team checking Olivia’s apartment

Olivia often thought that a rejection could be the worst answer she could get, however the complete silence that trails after her question is suffocating and she wants to renege on her word but before she does, Asher finally speaks.“Because he must believe love and sentiments like those would make someone weak and vulnerable, and to some extent he was right,” Asher says, the nails of Olivia’s fingers boring into her palms. “In my world, loving someone puts a target on their back. They can become leverage against you or have you question your own decisions.”“Do you think the same as him?” Olivia wonders.“I used to.”Olivia straightens up at the words, unfolding her fingers to grip at her joggers. “What changed?”Asher stares at Olivia, as though pondering on his response and the gaze is the same as before, Olivia recognizes. The muted adoration Asher had looked at Olivia when they were in her bed is here again, and the hope ignites alive.“I did,” Asher says, eyes never straying awa

When Asher hears Olivia argue with Adam and whine to him to back her up a faint smile tug on his lips. He wets his lips with an amused smile and starts answering her questions.“One: if you mean on an everyday basis, only me and my family live here. People working for me are given an apartment or house when they do so they can live outside of the headquarters if they wish to,” Asher begins.Olivia’s smile grows into a grin when Adam glares at her after Olivia whispers an ‘I told you so’ to him.“Some come to stay here for a while if their safety is at stake or if they simply want to, it’s an open house for the clan’s members. We have a second one like this but deeper in the forest and closer to the mountains, a couple of hours away from the main base.”“What is that second house used for?” Olivia inquires as she fully curls her arm around Asher’s when the latter makes no objection at his elbow being held.“We use that second one as a temporary home for the hybrids we help until all th

Their gazes meet and Mia interlocks her and Olivia’s fingers together as she would always do whenever Olivia would be upset or scared.“They don’t, Olivia. They really don’t,” Mia says and a reassuring smile curves her mouth. “Even close friends. You wouldn’t let me do that with you.”“No, of course not,” Olivia says and the relief that rushes through her is dizzying.“There you have your answer.”“This is… This is kinda scary,” Olivia mumbles, and tears well up in her eyes, the fear laced with her earlier realization clawing at her chest again.“It’s not—” She draws in a sharp breath, struggling to breathe past the lump clogging, her throat. “I don’t think it’s just a crush, Mia.”The admission is as terrifying as it is relieving and it blows away at the nebulous confusion surrounding it while leaving in its path a flurry of wonder and dread and ‘What if's.“Oly it’s okay, breathe you, idiot,” Mia says and she twists around to cup Olivia’s cheeks who bobs her head with a trembling si

Both stare at each other silently. Asher’s words ring in the silent room. His face is filled with uncertainty and hesitation but also assurance. He is willing to do that only if Olivia will accompany him during those nights.Olivia without even hearing his words understands the turmoil in Asher’s heart. “Of course, Asher. we can call, facetime, or text whenever there's one. I’ll always be there with you”“Thank you.” Asher’s face breaks into a smile.The genuine smile makes Olivia’s heart tingle “We'll make a bunch of good memories about storms so that the bad ones are gone.” She says with a smile.Asher looks surprised and delighted with the suggestion “I'd love that.”“Me too.”Olivia looks at Asher and suddenly she remembers something “Also, I'm learning how to bake.”“What? Why?” Asher looks confused and surprised.“I was supposed to give you a gift some time ago but it slipped my mind with all the mess that had been happening. And now I changed the present I want to give you.” Ol

They both go silent after that, looking at each other's faces not knowing what to say."What?” Olivia starts, she was offended by the silence from Asher “Did I say something wrong?" she asks Asher with a smile.Asher’s face lit up and he shook his head "No, not at all."His answer made Olivia satisfied, she nodded her head with a happy smile on her face. "Was there a thunder on your side?""Yeah, something like that." Asher’s face dims remembering the situation he was trying to ignore.Olivia notices and asks with a soft voice "Do you want to talk about it?"Asher looks startled "About what?" he asks with confusion."Why you're scared of storms."Asher peruses his lips and goes silent. His tongue comes out to lick his dry lips. He shifts on his bed curling on to himself "There's nothing much to say.""I'm still listening if you want to share." Olivia doesn’t prob, but still tries to talk to him.Asher is not someone who opens up to someone about his shortcomings. He has been trained t

“I could live in this car.” Olivia sighs into the leather seat.“I don’t think Mini would appreciate that,” Asher says from where he’s bent over, his arms propped on the edge of the rolled-down window.“Good point. She’s tiny but needs a lot of space, a bit like Steve.” Olivia snickers at her own joke, two duffle bags brimming with Asher’s clothes thrown over the seat next to where she’s installed at the back of the car.“I’ll tell him you say that.”“Go ahead, I’ve been meaning to fight him after Airhead.”“Brat.”Olivia peers up at Asher, catching the fond smile on the boss’ lips. “Thank you for the date.”“You’re welcome, and thank you too,” Asher says, his face close to Olivia. “You enjoyed yourself?”“Mhm, the most,” Olivia grins as she fastens her belt when the driver enters the vehicle“Me too,” Asher whispers, and with his index, he brushes a strand of hair away from Olivia’s forehead. “I won’t be able to text you much today, but I’ll do what I can to try.”“It’s fine, don’t w

When Olivia wakes up a few hours later, it’s to an empty bed, Asher’s side on the mattress tidied up, the phone and iPad on the nightstand gone.It doesn’t take long for Olivia to figure out where the mob boss went when, and after relieving herself in the restroom, she climbs down the stairs to make her way to the dining room.Asher is seated at the end of the table installed in the corner of the bay windows and Olivia trudges up to the mob boss.Hands shoved in her pants pockets, Olivia knocks her foot on the leg of the chair Adam is occupying, the one directly on Asher’s left.“Move,” Olivia orders when Adam does not budge.Adam swivels around. “Say that again, GaintDog?”“That’s my seat. Move.”“How about you f*ck off before I shoot you in the knee?” Adam snaps when Olivia kicks the chair again. “It’s no one’s seat, however right now it’s mine because my a*s is on it.”“Adam, come on,” Walter intervenes from where he’s lounged further down the table, Mia by his sides. “They’re in t
