MR. MAFIA ACHILLES HEEL Chapter 95_ Love And Marriage
“He was involved in an accident, one that claimed lives. That was the first time Lucas had blood on his hands,” Victor revealed.Kate went still, the truth knocking the breath out of her. She didn't expect such a revelation. “Accident," she repeated, and her mind couldn't help but think back to the time Uncle Bob had come home that night and told her that her parents were gone because they had been hit by someone.For some reason unknown to her, Victor’s words pressed down on her chest, as though some invisible thread tied that tragedy to her own soul. Her lips parted as she struggled for air."Kate! Kate,” Victor called, his voice filled with slight panic when he saw that she was struggling to breathe.He quickly stood up from his chair, went around her, then knelt beside her as he patted her back. "Look at me,” he commanded.Kate's eyes moved to him, and when Victor saw that he had grabbed her attention, he inhaled and exhaled, then said to her, "Breathe… follow my lead."Kate follo

Kate's chest tightened with each word that came from Victor’s lips.“When Lucas turned ten, his mother started bringing men to the house. She’d get drunk and end up shouting at Lucas. As a child, he desperately craved his parents' love, but they showed him none. He’d watched his parents quarrel every night. Sometimes, they even threatened to kill each other or pointed weapons at one another. As time went by, Lucas became indifferent and would lock himself in his room whenever they fought—until one night that changed him completely.”Victor stopped talking and leaned back in his seat while Kate moved away from the bed and adjusted herself on its edge, her legs dangling in the air. “Why did you stop? Go on," Kate urged, eager to know the rest of the story.Seeing how eager Kate was, Victor’s eyes gleamed mischievously and he couldn't help but tease her with his next words. "That's all I know.”Kate was dumbfounded and blinked at Victor. “What? That can't be,” she exclaimed. She had been

Kate stirred softly on the bed. She tried to move her hand, but her body felt too heavy.Her body ached, as if she’d been lying in one position for a long time. She opened her eyes slowly, and the first thing that greeted her was the white ceiling and the brightness that assaulted her eyes.Kate shut her eyes again and reopened them, adjusting to the light in the room. ‘Where am I?’Her eyes moved around and landed on the tube connected to her hand. ‘She’s in the hospital, but why?’She turned her head to the side and blinked when she saw an unfamiliar person beside her. “W-who are you?” she asked in a quiet voice.Victor’s eyes snapped to the hospital bed, and when he saw that Kate was awake, his eyes brightened. ‘Lucas would be over the moon,’ he thought, looking at her.“Water,” Kate croaked out. Though she didn’t know him, Kate hoped he’d be kind enough to hand her a cup of water. Her throat felt parched, and she was really thirsty.Victor’s eyes scanned the room, and when he didn

Two weeks had trickled by, and Kate was still unconscious. Lucas was growing impatient with the lack of progress and wondered why she hadn't awakened yet.He anxiously paced back and forth in Kate’s hospital room. He had done this repeatedly over the past fourteen days.Lucas stopped pacing and glanced at the unmoving woman on the bed, his heart clenching when he saw that her eyes were still closed.He hadn't slept well since Kate was hospitalized. He either slept on the plastic chair beside her bed or tried to fit himself on the small couch at the far end of the room, causing his body to protest every time he woke up.He had also talked to her when no one was around while she was sleeping. He’d begged and threatened her to wake up. He would have already gone insane if not for that damn machine.Every beep was proof that she was still breathing—and so was he. Lucas raised his head to look at the door when he heard footsteps approaching.Ace entered Kate's room, with a nervous Dr. Smit
MR. MAFIA ACHILLES HEEL Chapter 91_ She Survived?
"What?" Ace exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief. "She was pregnant?” he asked, looking between the doctor and Lucas. His eyes stayed on Lucas as he searched his face for any sign that he knew what the doctor was talking about.One look at him, and Ace knew that Lucas had no idea. He ran his hands through his hair as he wondered if Kate knew about her pregnancy.Lucas remained quiet as he stood there, thinking about the doctor’s words.‘Kate was pregnant with his child?’The muscle in his jaw twitched as his thoughts raced. ‘Did she know? Why didn't she tell him?’ Then he shook his head, as if erasing that thought.No. Kate wouldn't hide something like that from him. She’d always been direct with her feelings, and she couldn't possibly be carrying his child and choose not to tell him.Lucas's eyes narrowed as he realized that Kate didn't know either.Lucas's heart ached at the realization. They had a baby together. Their baby, and it was gone before they even knew it existed. He

Immediately, Ace pulled the car into the hospital parking lot. Lucas quickly pushed the car door open and stepped out, pulling Kate closer into his arms as he stormed toward the hospital entrance.Ace and Victor rushed after him.As they entered the hallway, Victor approached the reception desk. “Get the director here. Immediately,” he said, his voice laced with authority.They didn’t need to make any introductions because the moment Lucas and Ace entered the hospital, most of the nurses and staff recognized him as the Head of the Romano Empire.The receptionist’s hands shook as she grabbed the phone and spoke into it quickly, then she dropped the phone down. “H-he is on his way, sir,” she said to Victor, who nodded at her.Seconds later, the hospital director came rushing down the hall with his coat half on and wide eyes. He stopped when he saw Lucas, while his eyes flickered to the woman in his arms and the blood staining his clothes.He swallowed hard, then barked orders to the nu

Elizabeth felt Matteo's intense gaze on her, and a wave of guilt washed over her. She hadn't known her father was going to show up. 'I'm a victim, too!' she justified in her head, trying to shake off the feeling.Not wanting to stay near Matteo, she hurried toward her father's direction. "Dad..." s

“Let me go!” Kate said as she tried to pull her hands away from Matteo. But she couldn't, as his grip on her hands was too strong. This scene reminded her of the moment in the hospital when she’d fallen into his arms, and he’d held her tighter instead of releasing her.“What is wrong with you? Have

“I wanted to believe you," Lucas whispered, rage trembling in his voice. “I didn't want to believe the video, but you lied to me," his voice eased, low and trembling with something far more terrifying than anger.‘What video?’ Kate thought to herself. She didn't dare question Lucas when he looked l
MR. MAFIA ACHILLES HEEL Chapter 75_ She Lied
Kate opened her mouth to answer, but no words came out. She looked at Lucas's cold face and sighed inwardly. ‘Why does it feel so hard to tell him where I was?’ she wondered.A voice whispered in her head. ‘Because he looks so terrifying right now.’Kate shivered and nodded slightly as if agreeing.
