Mafia's Obsession Chapter 17 A Bad Day
Clara started her day badly when she woke up in a place she shouldn't have been. She almost cursed herself when she realized she had slept in Lucas's bed all night, especially when she found herself clinging to his arm like a little girl seeking protection.Luckily, she woke up earlier and managed to escape before Lucas woke up and found her still in his apartment. This had never happened before. Even when she sometimes dozed off after finishing her work with clients, she would always wake up in the middle of the night, clean up, and leave discreetly, avoiding any questions in the morning. But this time was different. Lucas would remain her client for a year, and she wouldn't be able to avoid him when he contacted her or asked to meet.Whatever, Clara didn't want to think about Lucas on a bright morning when she could go to campus after leaving her classes for a month. Elena and Anthony hadn't woken up yet when she returned home—something she was very grateful for. She managed to cook
Mafia's Obsession Chapter 18 Someone Who is Missed
"I don't know what's happening, but lately, you always look tired and sleepy in the morning, and it's making me more worried about you,"Clara lifted her head from the dining table and gave Elena a brief smile. Lately, Clara had been asking Elena to stay over at her house, so they always had breakfast together in the morning. Elena didn't mind because she didn't have anyone at her home. Even two days ago, Elena had discussed her plans to stay at Clara's place permanently, which meant cutting her monthly rent since she decided not to renew her house lease. After her younger brother left, the house became neglected as Elena spent more time at Clara's place. Clara accepted the plan, of course. She didn't want to cut Elena's pay. For her, it would be better if someone was willing to be with Anthony all the time, as she couldn't be sure of her work schedule, especially since Lucas often contacted her late at night, even busier than her work schedule, when Rachel managed her clients.And ta
Mafia's Obsession Chapter 19 The Unexpected Encounter
As promised to Anthony last night, Clara fulfilled his request to visit their parents' graves. Luckily, she had no morning classes, so she could accompany Anthony without worrying about her studies and other tasks. The weather was also better that morning, as it had been raining unexpectedly in New York for the past few weeks."Do you still want to stay here, Anthony?" Clara took off her jacket and handed it to him when he started to feel the gentle cold breeze."Can I stay here a bit longer?" Anthony turned and looked at Clara standing behind him.Clara smiled and nodded. Usually, they would spend some private time there—she would give Anthony time to talk, pray, or do anything he wanted without disturbing him. After Anthony finished, it would be her turn to have her private moment at their parents' graves. She couldn't recall when they had agreed on this arrangement, but everything just fell into place."He's been talking about his parents a lot in the past week," Elena commented, j
Mafia's Obsession Chapter 20 Flying with The Jerk
There was nothing Clara wished for more than her menstruation this month. After everything that had happened, including Lucas' punishment after kicking him again a week ago, Clara finally got what she had been waiting for. She was three days late, making her slightly panicked because she was never late.Her job taught her many risks she might face if she forgot one important thing—protection. With all the consequences in mind, Clara spent every month fearing being late for her period. She didn't know what she would do if it ever happened—pregnancy. She always prayed that it wouldn't happen to her. As a woman, she couldn't deny that she often dreamed about her future—getting married, getting pregnant, having children, watching Anthony grow up with her child, and doing wonderful and enjoyable things. However, now she had to convince herself that the dreams in her head didn't have to come true in her life. None of it had to happen because... she was aware of her past life, and she didn't
Mafia's Obsession Chapter 21 Los Angeles
"Where are you, Cla? You didn't attend class without telling me anything. Then when I came to your house, Elena said you left last night and won't be back for two weeks."Clara let out a long breath, moving her feet as they were soaked in the private pool on her balcony. She lived in an apartment... or maybe a hotel—a large room was on the top floor, and Lucas said it was his. She thought Lucas would force her to sleep in one room, but she got her own room—a luxurious one with access to a private pool."Yes, I'm not in Manhattan. I apologize for not saying goodbye to you and disappearing like that."She hadn't thought of a reason for Louis yet, but he already calls her."Can I know what happened?""There's something I have to do," Clara bit her lip, trying to find a suitable reason to give to Louis, "it's part of my job, and the plan came up suddenly, so I didn't have time to tell you.""Oh great," Louis interjected, "Everyone just leaves, and I'm stuck in the madness of Manhattan all
Mafia's Obsession Chapter 22 The Unexpected One
"You got her," Jamie murmured softly after he heard Clara slam the door and lock it from inside—defying every command he gave her.Lucas snorted. He knew she would resist, but he enjoyed giving her orders just to get on her nerves. She looked really annoyed as she listened to his orders, and it became a fun thing to laugh about.And it worked. Every word he spoke always managed to irritate Clara. It seemed he had never seen her not irritated with him, except when they were intimate, of course. There was something different about Clara when they were together, and Lucas was curious about it."Do you think I'm dreaming when I tell you that I'll get her?"Jamie shrugged and sat before him after taking two empty glasses from the kitchen. He brought a bottle of wine and poured it into the glasses, taking a sip before speaking, "Rachel said she won't give Flo if she doesn't want it.""Clara," Lucas reached out to take the glass in front of him. His lips approached the rim of the glass, savo
Mafia's Obsession Chapter 23 A Gift
Days went by, and four days after she arrived in Los Angeles, her period stopped, and she returned to her duties—her deal to Lucas. Since the day Lucas saw her cooking in the middle of the night—even though she had waited until his room was completely dark to ensure he was asleep—Lucas had been providing her meals every day. Of course, he didn't cook, but he asked the apartment service to prepare three meals daily with diverse menus. And the most annoying part of it all was the fact that she had to have dinner with Lucas every night. She could avoid him in the morning by waking up earlier and confining herself to her room until it was almost noon—making sure Lucas had left the apartment with Jamie to attend to his business before she ventured out to have her breakfast at the dining table. At noon, she was free to eat whenever she pleased, as Lucas was never around during that time. However, of course, she had to wait for Lucas during dinner because she couldn't possibly let him eat
Mafia's Obsession Chapter 24 Go Back Home
Two weeks had passed, and nothing was more enjoyable than strolling through the campus hallway after skipping classes for days. She had met Anthony earlier this morning, and that boy asked about the toys she had promised him. Luckily, Clara didn't forget her promise and brought some new toy boxes she had bought from a toy store near her home.Well, she couldn't buy anything in Los Angeles because she was afraid Lucas would suspect something if he found out she was buying children's toys and transporting them using a helicopter. Clara closed her eyes for a moment. Alright, maybe she should stop thinking about Lucas spontaneously if she didn't want him to appear and ruin her day—turning something beautiful into chaos in the blink of an eye, as that seemed to be his specialty."Oh God, I thought I was dreaming when I saw you!" Someone exclaimed, hugging her shoulders.Clara smiled briefly when she saw Louis standing beside her, smiling brightly like the summer sun."I've missed so many c

And... Clara had Louis—someone who had always been there in every step of her life. So, it was Louis who escorted her to the aisle towards Lucas.Elena stepped forward—becoming a
Mafia's Obsession Chapter 90 The End of Everything
Lucas sighed long and leaned back, closing his eyes, seeming reluctant to look at Clara. He even released her hand, allowing her to gaze at the starry night outside the helicopter window.Minutes passed, and Lucas remained seated in silence—not saying anything.Clara reached for his hand, placed her fingers in his lap, and turned her head to look intently at Lucas. "Can you teach me how to read your mind?"Lucas opened his eyes, "why do you want to read my mind?"Clara shrugged, "So I know what you're thinking without asking you. Just like you've always done with me.""My thoughts are too dark for you to understand, Cla." Lucas shook his head. "You shouldn't have entered all of this—entered my world and all the dark things that you shouldn't have to stay on.""Then where should I stay?""Definitely not in the dark world I have." Lucas quickly retorted, "I tried to make you stay in a better place and protect you from all dangers, not bring you to this meeting, Cla."Clara let out a lon
Mafia's Obsession Chapter 89 ElWagner's Secret Meeting
Lucas departed for Canada exactly on the day the secret meeting of ElWagner was scheduled. He didn't say anything to her, but Clara knew everything, and perhaps Lucas knew that she already knew.The journey from New York to Canada—to the headquarters of ElWagner—didn't take long, only about a 4-hour trip. Lucas left during the day, and he would arrive there in the evening while the meeting was set to take place in the middle of the night.Clara... still couldn't believe what she was doing. She had come to Canada—secretly following Lucas with the help of Beatrice and Cheryl, who had been waiting for her at a hotel near the headquarters. She kept her arrival a secret from Lucas, but of course, she couldn't hide it from Elena and Laura. She had told them her purpose for coming to Canada and when she would return to the United States tomorrow morning. They agreed to support her after learning about her complex problems. Even Louis offered to accompany her, but she refused because she didn
Mafia's Obsession Chapter 88 Alive
"I didn't mean to disturb your daydreaming. But you've been here for a while, and Lucas is starting to get annoyed because you're not coming back,"Clara turned her head and found Louis walking towards her with two glasses of wine. "I'm not drinking," she said."These are for me," he took a sip from both glasses and continued, "I know you don't drink."Clara rolled her eyes as she realized it was just Louis's way of teasing her."I'm very happy about your engagement, Cla," Louis suddenly said.Clara smiled, looking at her hand—admiring the ring Lucas had chosen for her.Lucas always asked about clothes, watches, and even ties to wear because he wasn't skilled in choosing fashion-related things. However, the ring he chose truly amazed Clara—it was beautiful and perfectly fit her finger."He actually asked for my opinion on the ring," Louis glanced at his hand and smiled."Really?" Clara blinked, "So he intentionally proposed to me at his birthday party, and you knew?"Louis chuckled, "
Mafia's Obsession Chapter 87 Conversation with Cheryl Wagner
Clara couldn't stop staring at the ring that encircled her ring finger—a beautiful ring with sparkling gemstones and intricate engravings that looked incredibly stunning.The moonlight's reflection in the night sky made her ring appear even more mesmerizing which make Clara couldn't take her eyes off of it.Lucas's birthday party was still ongoing, and everyone was busy chatting with each other—trying to find a moment to congratulate Lucas on his engagement.She thought Lucas would be surprised by the birthday party theme she had chosen, but she was the one who got a surprise because Lucas is proposing her on his own birthday."What a beautiful ring," a woman in a light blue dress approached with a glass of wine in her hand.Clara turned her head and smiled briefly when she realized that the woman was... Rafael's wife."My name is Cheryl, by the way," she said, smiling."I... know," Clara replied with the same smile when she could hear Cheryl’s voice that seemed filled with passion th
Mafia's Obsession Chapter 86 Joker and The Queen
"You look stunning in that dress," Lucas commented as he walked into the closet.His habit remained the same—waiting for Clara to get ready and giving her that look as if he was undressing her with his eyes.Oh, God. Any woman who was with him would surely suffer from his mesmerizing gaze. Being with a handsome man with such captivating eyes was a blessing that never came twice in her life."I think my arms look really chubby," she said, lifting her arms to the mirror, then shaking her head as she noticed her belly also seemed plump.One month after giving birth to Chloe, Clara realized that there were many changes in her body. There were stretch marks on her belly that had not completely faded, her arms looked bigger, and her belly hadn't fully gone back to its original size. She felt fine wearing long pants and shirts that could cover her arms and belly, but sleeveless dresses like the one she was wearing now made her... lack confidence."Nothing's wrong with your arms," Lucas walke
Mafia's Obsession Chapter 85 Everything that Gets Better
Clara couldn't deny that she still hadn't fully accepted the facts about herself—about her family status and her parents' past. However, she also couldn't reject the facts that were right in front of her.Slowly, she had to start accepting it all—making peace with everything about herself, even if she didn't like it all.All the anger she showed at Lucas when he returned home that morning did make her feel a little better, but she wasn't completely better.Rafael and Beatrice had come to her house to give more explanations about what had happened. Clara welcomed them, but she didn't accept any explanations about their clan. And Lucas agreed with her decision to refuse to enter the clan, even though she was an official member of the ElWagner clan due to her status as the daughter of the Wagner family.She hadn't changed her name on her identification card, and she also recently found out that her name couldn't be found on the 'GOD's Mind' server. Not just her name but all her identifyi
Mafia's Obsession Chapter 84 Everyone Can Cry
Almost an hour had passed since Clara sat in Louis' car with Rafael's provided documents on her lap. However, she hadn't found the courage to open them—to read a document titled 'Clara Clark' on the front page as if she's a fugitive with a long criminal record.Louis sat beside her, remaining patient without saying anything—even though Clara was sure many questions were swirling in his mind.Clara took a deep breath—attempting to gather bravery from within herself... still, she continued to gaze at the document without taking any action."Should I... open it?" She whispered softly after a prolonged silence.Louis looked at her and nodded, "You should, Cla." He held her hand tightly, "You have the right to know, even though your parents have tried to keep all of this hidden.""Why would they hide this?" Clara retorted quickly.Louis shook his head, "I don't know, Cla. If you want to know... you have to open the document and read it."Clara stared at the document in her hands and sighed
Mafia's Obsession Chapter 83 Unwanted Fact
Leaving Chloe alone at the mansion always made Clara feel uneasy. She was afraid Chloe might cry, refuse to drink her milk, or not sleep like she did last night. However, taking Chloe to the hospital wasn't a suitable option either, considering she couldn't ensure what would happen there."Are you going to the hospital?" Elena asked when she saw Clara sitting in the kitchen at 5 in the morning."Yes, I'm going there, El," Clara nodded, "I'm waiting for Louis because he's showering, and he won't let me go alone."Elena nodded her head and started taking out food ingredients from the fridge.When Clara returned home last night, Laura and George asked what had happened, and Louis told them everything. They had initially planned to come to the hospital, but Louis forbade them and said that Lucas was sleeping due to the influence of the medication. The plan for this morning was for all of them to go together while Chloe would stay home with Elena and Anthony. However, Laura changed her min
