MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Sixty-Four
I was tired of these secrets, and I think it was time I told him the truth. I can't continue to keep this a secret from him.Mace looked at me a bit puzzled and with a piercing look to ascertain what was wrong with my facial expressions. I wrapped my hands around his arm, and we went over to sit on a stone in the corner."Can't we do this at home, Amorino?" he queried me, still confused by my disposition."We should do it here," I quickly replied. I just wanted to get it off my chest already.I cleared my throat a little; I didn't know how to put it or where to begin my story. I just didn't want him to get angry, but from every indication, it was inevitable."Amorino, you're scaring me with this whole drama.""I thought you didn't get scared at all." I teased him"I don't get scared, Amorino, but when it gets to you, I'm scared as hell. You're my weakness, my undoing, Amorino." He caressed my cheeks gently.Tears began forming in my eyes when I heard him call me that. I didn't mean to

My scream echoed in the whole house. He stopped abruptly, he turned back to see me placing a hand on my tummy, and ran frantically towards me."Did I hurt you, Amorino?" he asked anxiously, holding me by the waist. I didn't say anything but kept on faking pain."We should go to the hospital," he suggested, holding me tightly. I still didn't say a word to him but turned to the stairs. I took his hands off my waist and tried walking away. I climbed the first and second staircases. Stole a glance at him, only to find him standing at the bottom of the stairs and not moving with me. I acted as though I was about to fall, and he caught me. He hoisted me up in his arms and led me to the room. I wrapped my hands around his neck, burying my face in his chest while smiling, his cologne driving me nuts, reminding me of how much I missed him."Amorino, let's go see a doctor," he said again, searching my face for a reply. I quickly told him that I just wanted to rest in the room for a while."You

It's been 2 months after his pact with Kierian, Mace assigned the training of his men to Ray, and he has been preparing the men for D-Day, or more like the apocalypse, with each day scaring the shit out of me. Mace spent a lot of time with Kieran in secrecy. I was surprised he only spent time with Kieran, with no one else knowing about it.I wanted to know why he did not inform his trusted men of the secret Kierian had told him and why he hid it all from them. He told me that there was a mole among his men. I nearly screamed my head off when he talked about the mole. I was glad Kierian told him all he needed to know about who was working for Francesco. I became curious, asking who the mole was, but he told me not to let it bother me.I wish I had taken that advice because I couldn't sleep the rest of the night. I couldn't imagine Ricci planting one of his men in the Hunter's cartel.I have been having difficulty sleeping these days; the thought of a spy watching my every move and repo
MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Sixty-Seven
I opened my eyes the next morning, feeling pain all over my body. I turned to see Mace lying on his side while watching me. He smiled at me before kissing my forehead."Good morning," he said.I smiled, covering my face with the covers. "How long have you been watching me sleep?" I asked timidly."Not long enough," he replied, caressing my baby bump."How is my baby?" he asked, bending down to kiss my bump, The baby replied with a kick. I don't know, but for some odd reason, he sure knows his father's touch."Oh my god!" I screamed, laughing."He kicked?" I nodded in reply, took his hands, and placed them back on my tummy.He caressed it a bit. "Daddy can't wait to carry you in his arms, peanut," he whispered.As if he could hear, he responded with yet another kick, and Mace's face lit up in a smile.We were still talking about peanut kicks whenHis phone rang, cutting his father-child bond midway. He got up from the bed in search of his phone, picked it up, and after a few minutes, t
MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Sixty-Eight
MACE'S POVIt's about time I sent all those bastards six feet under. It won't be easy anyway, but killing is in my DNA. I was born into this bloody mafia world, and I will make an example of Francesco Ricci and whoever that masked clown is.It will be a story parents tell their young children to warn them not to make the devil their enemy. Francesco might have made an enemy of my grandfather and father, but he really shouldn't have messed with my loved ones. I will chase him to the gates of hell and put an end to his miserable life.Since I ended Leo's miserable life, I have been drafting plans with Kieran to put an end to Francesco. I can tell that Kieran is scared for his life; he should have thought about that before making a pact with the devil. Ray has been training the men night and day; the time for reckoning is coming, and we need them to be ready.I was enjoying the hot afternoon when I got a message. I opened it, and it was a picture of Fran
MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Sixty-Nine
MACE'S POVI woke up the next morning to the beeping sound of my phone. I checked the time, and it was 5 a.m. I pulled my fingers that had been buried under my pillow out and got off the bed to prepare. I had some scores to settle this morning. It was time to rain blood on Ricci and his minions. I warned that fool that I might be my father's son, but I'm not my father. I was already prepared to leave, but I was checking out my outfit when Ray called to inform me that he was downstairs.I turned to the bed to find Amorino still soundly asleep. I didn't want to wake her, so I wrote a note on a piece of paper and placed it on the bedside table where she could easily find it before leaving. I came downstairs to see Ray sitting comfortably while munching the last bite of the cornflakes on his plate."Making yourself at home," I asked him."What can I do?" he replied, wearing a smirk."Besides, I need all the strength I could get, you know."I wasn't ready f
MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Seventy
MACE'S POVI was still at the study sipping a glass of whiskey while Dad had his face buried in a piece of paper he was holding. I didn't bother checking what he was reading because I had a lot on my mind.I couldn't get the thoughts of Amorino off my mind. I was missing her badly. The picture of her sleeping soundly in her lingerie kept playing in my head. This is the first time she is sleeping outside the house after we got back together. I was fighting the urge to go get her. I knew I couldn't bring her home just yet, not when the baby could pop out any day from now. I can't give her the attention she needs right now, and besides, Francesco won't go easy on her if he ever finds her.I need to put an end to this shit as fast as possible. I was still lost in thought when Ray called me. I looked up to see Kieran standing next to Ray."You're here," I said, looking at Kieran. He nodded."I heard how things went in Italy," he said.I smirked, pointing at
MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Seventy-One
MACE'S POVI rushed to the torture room, where I found Dad seated. I told one of our men to lead Dad into the room and away from Ricci's minions. I came closer to see a dead body lying on the floor. I guess one of Ricci's fools thought he could kill Dad seeing he was wounded. I went over to his side; he was losing a lot of blood. I got more worried. What pained me most was how to explain to Mom that Dad got hurt. Why would he take the bullet,"It should have been me," I kept whispering to myself.I fished out my phone from my pocket to call a doctor, but my dad wouldn't let me. He grabbed my hands, looking me straight in the eyes. I could tell the amount of pain he was in."Don't," he said."We should get you a doctor, dad.""I'm fine, ocean; the bullet just grazed my skin. Patch me up or get our men to patch me up, and I will be good as new." I was lost for words, looking at my old man asking to be patched up the old-fashioned way. I sometimes forget he

MACE'S POVI had so many thoughts running through my mind as I raced up the stairs. I prayed so hard, but it wasn't what I was thinking. I don't know what I would do if anything happened to her.I was in disbelief looking at her standing like an avenger with a gun in her hands and Sarah lying down dead beneath her. I never thought Amorino could fire a gun, but here I am looking at the very impossible staring me in the face.I ran towards her, took the gun from her, and handed it over to Ray.I looked her over before hugging her. I was glad she was okay and even happier that we both saved our son together."Amorino, are you okay?" I asked, peering into her face."I'm fine; where is Vey?" she asked immediately, looking from me to Ray."Vey is fine," Dad replied. She quickly ran to him and grabbed him from his hands, hugging him so hard."Mammy!""Mammy is here, Vey," she said, smiling at him."Hold on, were you going to accept this crazy bitch proposal?" S

MACE'S POVThose very words were what I had been waiting for this whole time. I paused immediately when I heard Ray say he had found the bitch. I let out a devilish grin because I knew what I had in store for that mad bitch.She had taken more than she could chew. If she had messed with me, I would be lenient, but you mess with my family, and I will send you to the afterlife in pieces."Where?" "Right under our nose."Tilda jumped off the bed while hurriedly heading to the door"Honey, where are you off to?" Mom asked her. "To get my son!" She screamed, her voice filled with pain."Amorino," I gently called her; she didn't answer, nor did she glance my way. I touched her shoulder, and she turned towards me."I promise to bring our son home; I give you my word," I reassured her, looking her in the eyes while patting her hair."Mace, I want to bash that weirdo's head in for causing me pain.""I will make her pay for all the pain and misery she has caused

MATILDA'S POV"Ma'am, is everything okay?" Martha asked immediately, she rushed into the sitting room. I sat down, mopping like a fool, still unable to process what was happening. I began feeling dizzy, and the whole room was spinning nonstop in my eyes."Ma'am," she called yet again, but I was slowly losing sense of my surroundings. I heard her beckoning on the guards to come, but before I knew it, I had lost consciousness.I opened my eyes, but the light was too bright. I shut my eyes, but I could hear Sergio and Mace arguing over God knows what. I managed to open my eyes, and I tried a little harder to keep them open as my eyes adjusted to the brightness of the light."Darling, you are awake?" I heard Ana's voice. I followed the voice only to see her seated on the chair next to the bed.I was a bit confused about where we were and what was going on."What happened to me?" I asked Ana. I tried getting up, but Ana held me down."Honey, please stay put." I

MATILDA'S POV"Keep it wet; we will make Lavey's sister when we get back," he whispered into my ears, and I giggled like a teenage girl.We quickly rushed our bath; we were running out of time, and the last thing I want is grace nagging my ass. We prepared to leave for dinner. I came downstairs to find Lavey and her nanny all dressed up. She was on the phone when we came downstairs, but quickly put the phone away when we showed up."You guys ready?" I asked the nanny."Yes Ma'am" Mace took Lavey from the nanny, and we set out for dinner.Our little adventure in the shower delayed us a little bit; when we got to the Castillo's, the room was already packed. It was a lovely sight to behold; there were no outsiders in attendance, just family. Sergio, Dad, and Ray were having a hearty conversation while the ladies were laughing over something Kimberly said."There they are," Ana announced, all smiles. I hugged Kimberly while Mace was busy speaking with Pearl.

MATILDA'S POVI brought my hands to my mouth in awe; I couldn't believe my eyes. I never expected that he could be this sentimental. I guess being a father comes with some changes."It's beautiful," I said, smiling at him as he held me in his arms."I wanted to give our prince the best," he said proudly.It is the best nursery I have seen. There was a beautiful white baby bed at one end of the room. The wallpapers were so beautiful. I couldn't get my eyes off the drawing of a lion's head and the family motto written boldly on the wall."A lion?" I asked Mace while pointing at the drawing."Yes, Amorino, we need to always remind him that he is a hunter," Mace replied while kissing my hair."Of course," I said, rolling my eyes."Do you think Lavey would love it? I painted the room myself," he whispered.I was a bit surprised to hear he did all this by himself. I brought his hands close to my lips and kissed him."He will adore it," I said to him, and I went

MACE'S POV "What lady?" Ray asked, giving me the What the heck are you talking about Look. I read the room and didn't ask any further questions."You got this, right?" I asked Ray, pointing at the building."Get the hell out of here, tell Tilda that I will be right there."I quickly entered one of the cars, leaving Ray behind to clean up the building.I got to the safe house. Jumped out of the car the minute I turned off the ignition. I ran into the house frantically in search of Amorino. I met Ray's mom in the hallway, all smiles."You made it, Mace, this way," she said, pointing to one of the rooms at the end of the hallway.I opened the door to see Mom seated next to Amorino on one side of the bed, while Grace sat on the other side."Ocean!" mom screamed. I went over to Amorino; she looked a bit worn out, but I was glad she was ok."My love here is our son," she said, holding our peanut wrapped in colorful clothing. I couldn't contain my joy when I s
