“Why are you silent?”The question made Natalie swallow. Her heart told her to turn around and face Beverley. She wanted to apologize, but her brain sensibly forbade it.In the past, she had already wronged Beverley a lot. She did not want to cause her any more trouble. Not knowing each other was the best way for them.“Sorry, we don’t know each other. Don’t bother me,” Natalie said flatly.Beverley frowned. “Then why are you avoiding me?”Natalie did not answer. Beverley finally walked up to her. She immediately looked away.“Natalie, it’s you, right?”Natalie’s emotions and body became tense. She pretended to chuckle before finally turning to Beverley. Her gaze was flat and cold.“You must have recognized the wrong person,” she said expressionlessly. She was about to walk away, but Beverley held her back.“We’ve been enemies for a long time. I can’t possibly mis-recognize you,” Beverley whispered. There was no hostility whatsoever in her face, as if what happened in the past was lon

Dante took Natalie to a dark room that was very closed off. When he turned on the lights, she immediately froze at the sight around her. Her face turned slightly pale.“This is...”Fear and nervousness crept into Natalie’s heart. In that room, there were many sex play tools, which even supported sadism and masochism. It was so numerous and diverse. Any normal person would be shocked to see it.Unconsciously, Natalie stepped back. She gripped the towel covering her body tightly. Dante must be crazy!Dante suddenly held Natalie’s hand. He moved to stand behind her. His hands held her shoulders, and then, as he leaned in, he whispered in her ear, “Welcome to my world.”Natalie’s body stiffened slightly. “You must be crazy,” she murmured.“Am I?” Dante rubbed Natalie’s arm and went down to her hand. “We made a deal. You didn’t forget, did you?”They had indeed made a deal. However, it was a forced agreement, and Natalie felt it was very unfair. Moreover, she didn’t know that Dante was a c

Natalie screamed hysterically alone in her room. The belief in her honesty and innocence simply crumbled and shattered.Tears finally fell down her cheeks. She never thought that Dante’s suspicions were true. She was the one who had been thinking too simply.“How could this be?” she muttered hoarsely. She had always thought Lucas sold her for money and that Dante was the one who was too paranoid to suspect him. However, she was wrong. Lucas had another purpose. And his purpose was anything but simple.That’s right. It was Lucas, wasn’t it? That man was the mastermind behind it all, right?Her gaze went blank. How worthless was she that others just wanted to use her?Natalie’s legs went limp. She struggled to put on her nightgown before collapsing to the floor. Suddenly, Lizzy knocked loudly on her bedroom door.“Miss, are you okay?!” the girl shouted. She was worried because she heard Natalie’s hysterical screams.“Leave me alone!” screamed Natalie. Her hands crumpled the paper in her

The following night, Natalie tried to dress beautifully. She wore the black silk belted open halter dress she bought yesterday. It was a backless dress that reached her ankles.Her wavy hair was flowing freely, adding to the sexy vibe. Her look was further enhanced by accessorizing with long earrings and a coiled snake-shaped white gold ring whose scales were built up with diamond grains.Natalie honestly loved the way she looked. She smiled contentedly as she spun in front of the mirror, but her smile slowly faded when she remembered she was leaving with Dante.She sighed heavily. There was a sudden knock on the door. “Miss, are you ready? Mr. Vittorio has come to fetch you.”“Yes, I’ll be right out!” said Natalie loudly. She put on her sunglasses and picked up her clutch bag before walking out.A masculine musk and woody scent wafted up the stairs. The scent came from Dante, who was sitting on the sofa, busy playing with his tablet. Beside him, Alex sat eating an apple leisurely.Na

The crowded dinner Dante was referring to was an executive dinner attended by many upper-middle-class corporate executives in New York. Some even came from out of state.When Natalie first entered the venue, she couldn’t help but gulp. She stopped her steps and gripped Dante’s arm firmly. “Are you out of your mind? What if they recognize me?” she whispered worriedly. Dante chuckled. “They’re busy people. You think they’ll care about you?”That answer slapped Natalie a little. Dante certainly wasn’t going to take any chances that cost him. So, she didn’t have to worry about that at all.Finally, she let Dante lead her toward the other guests. Alex followed them with his bag, ready in case Dante needed his help.“Dante!” Someone suddenly approached them. It was Charles, a man Natalie already knew. The middle-aged man was also present there.Dante smiled. “You seem very excited,” he said.“Of course I am.” Charles chuckled, then turned to look at Natalie. He wanted to kiss her cheek, bu

“Wait a minute. I’m going to the restroom,” Natalie told Dante after finishing her chocolate fondant, which was so sweet. The man suddenly lifted her chin. His thumb rubbed the corner of her sexy lips where the chocolate had melted.“Don’t make trouble, baby,” Dante whispered, after licking his thumb with a seductive look in his eyes.Natalie swallowed and shook her head. She remembered the lesson from the last time when she failed to escape. Dante would only get meaner to her.“I won’t,” she assured. The man just shut up and let her go.Finally, Natalie went to the restroom, which was not too far from the venue. She quickly did her business, which was to pee. The combination of the champagne and the cold room made it unbearable.After coming out of the cubicle, someone suddenly appeared from another cubicle. It was Violet. Natalie cursed her luck. Why did she have to meet that woman again?Violet looked at her with an unfriendly face. As she stepped over to the sink, she quipped, “Is

Dante took Natalie out of the venue without saying goodbye to his colleagues. His actions attracted quite a lot of attention, especially from the ladies, who were curious about what happened. However, he didn’t think anything of it.In his arms, Natalie was clutching Dante’s suit tightly with her head buried in his chest. Her feelings were mixed and chaotic.She was angry at Dante for always treating her like a toy. Her heart was also saddened that Dante didn’t trust her that much. He had even brought her together with Brent just to see how she would react.Dante really went too far. Even so, Natalie realized only he could save her from Brent. So she had put away her pride to beg like a helpless woman.Natalie’s tears stained Dante’s thick black suit. The man didn’t protest or say anything. Only after they got into the elevator did she look up.“Put me down,” Natalie whispered.“Your leg hurts,” Dante replied, without looking at her.“Put me down, Dante! What do you care about me for

Dante must be crazy! Natalie cursed silently. She gripped the car seat with her heart beating fast. Her beautiful face was pale and tense.“Isn’t there another way?!” she shouted frantically.“We’ve used another way, darling. Does it work?” Dante replied as he watched the rearview mirror.The car sped down the road at high speed. Alex was an excellent driver. He could drive crazy as if he didn’t care about his own life.The sound of police sirens could be heard far behind. Of course, the police were after them after all the unrest on the street. However, Dante and Alex didn’t care about that at all.“Oh, my god...” Natalie took a deep breath.After the tension-filled ride, their car finally entered a tunnel that was deserted of vehicles. The tunnel highway was wide and very free.Dante rolled down the window at the same time Alex lowered the car’s speed. The enemy behind them took the opportunity to overtake them. However, when their cars were almost parallel, Dante quickly pointed hi

Alex knocked on Dante’s bedroom door several times, but there was no response from inside. He grew uneasy. “Dante, open the door!” he shouted.“What’s wrong?” James, standing guard in front of the hotel room, became curious because he saw Alex worried. “Is there any urgent business?”“Hurry and ask the hotel staff for a spare key!” Alex ordered seriously.James felt confused but didn’t dare ask more questions. He hurried away and came back with a hotel staff a few moments later. Alex immediately asked the staff to open Dante’s room.Moments later, the door finally opened. “Let me in,” Alex said, as he hurried inside. He closed the door again and saw Dante crouched on the floor, busy doing something.“What are you doing?” Alex asked.“Stay right there! Don’t come any closer!” Dante ordered coldly.Alex was confused. Dante had his back to him, so he could only see his back. Shards of glass were on the floor, along with blood splatters. That worried him.“Are you okay?” Alex asked as he

Natalie finally met the Wentworth family. They didn’t recognize her and quietly asked Britia. “Is she your friend? Why didn’t you say you were coming with a friend?”Britia smiled awkwardly while looking at Natalie. They sat at the dining table with the rest of the Wentworth family, but the atmosphere was awkward and strange. They felt unfamiliar with Natalie’s presence.“Everyone, listen to me!” Britia finally shouted and stood up while holding a wine glass. “She’s not my friend. She’s Natalie, Aunt Minerva’s granddaughter in America. Don’t you all recognize her?”They were surprised to hear that. Minerva’s granddaughter?They all immediately looked at Natalie with appraisal and investigation. The change in her appearance had indeed puzzled them. Meanwhile, the observed person could only smile while putting on a friendly face.“Are you really Minerva’s granddaughter?” Nelson Wentworth, Minerva’s elder brother, the first child of that generation, asked in confusion.Natalie nodded. “I

Britia was still unsure of Natalie’s identity. However, she couldn’t bear to let her faint just like that. Finally, she asked the security guards to help take Natalie to her apartment unit.Natalie fainted for three hours. When she woke up, the sky was already bright. Britia, who had been pacing back and forth waiting for her, immediately sighed and offered her warm water.“Oh, you really confused me. It’s Christmas, you know?!” the beautiful curly-haired and blue-eyed woman grumbled.Natalie tried to sit up even though her body felt weak. Her head was throbbing, but she didn’t care. She took the glass of warm water and looked down. “I’m sorry I bothered you,” she said guiltily.“What exactly happened? Are you really Aunt Minerva’s granddaughter?” Britia asked.“Yes, I’m Natalie. After I got out of prison, I did have plastic surgery to change my identity so that others wouldn’t know who I really am. You know, I don’t want to hold that popularity anymore,” Natalie said weakly.Britia s
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 127. Seeking Help
Nicolo and his two subordinates hid in front of his bulletproof car, using the car as a shield and hiding place. Meanwhile, Dante’s soldiers advanced closer and closer. They were full of preparations and overwhelmed Nicolo.“Son of a bitch! I don’t think we can survive here, boss!” shouted Nicolo’s driver, who had run out of bullets.“Find a place to hide! This commotion is bound to attract the police. If they come, Dante won’t be able to catch up with us,” Nicolo said as he looked around. He gave the code to his two subordinates. After that, they immediately ran away.Dante, who saw that, immediately told his subordinates to chase Nicolo. That was a good opportunity to catch them. Next time, he probably wouldn’t have the chance.James and some men dressed in black went after Nicolo. Meanwhile, Dante approached Nicolo’s car, which was riddled with gunshot marks. He opened the door and saw Natalie crouched in fear on the floor of the vehicle, crying shakily.“Go! Find a place to hide!”
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 126. Among the Gunshots
After meeting Nicolo, Natalie’s days were filled with fear and worry. She didn’t want to go to Italy, but what if Nicolo forced her to go?Natalie couldn’t eat and slept well. Several times, she went to see Kelsey to make sure she was okay. The longer it went on, the more uneasy she became. She didn’t know when Nicolo would show up again, and that made things uncertain.On Christmas Eve, it snowed more heavily. Natalie was about to go to Betty’s restaurant. However, remembering the last time she met Lucas in the alley made her cancel her intention. She'd better stay in her room.Natalie pulled up the blanket. Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door. Her feelings were immediately alert. Had the person she feared finally come?She swallowed. What if she didn’t open the door? Would that person break down the door and barge in?Natalie was silent. Then the sound of knocking on the door came back, along with Harper Lawrence’s shout. “Miss Smith, are you in there?!”“Oh, wait!” Natalie felt

Natalie tried to break Nicolo’s embrace and pushed the man’s body away. She sat up and looked at him angrily. “Do you hate me that much? You really have no heart!”They had only met occasionally at nightclubs in the past. Natalie even only knew Nicolo’s name without knowing his true identity, so she never took his proposal seriously. Who would have guessed that it was that rejection that led her into various life-and-death situations?“I do hate you. But if you’ll go with me, I’ll forgive you,” Nicolo said.Natalie was completely speechless. Nicolo had gone mad. He spoke as if everything was her fault and she needed his forgiveness. Shouldn’t he be the one apologizing to her?After he had caused her career to crumble, her life to fall apart, and put her in danger so many times, shouldn’t he be the one apologizing?“I’m fucking innocent!” Natalie stared at the man with reddened eyes. “You’re the one who should be apologizing to me, Nicolo! You’ve ruined everything!”Nicolo gave her a c

In the car, Natalie sat anxiously uncertain. Lucas sat beside her and looked at her with a smirk. “It's only been a few months since we've seen each other. Why are you being so strange to me?”Natalie clenched her fists tightly. She looked at Lucas hatefully. “Back then, I didn't know what your intentions were. After you sold me and put me through those cruel things, why should I be nice to you?”Lucas laughed without feeling guilty. He just thought of Natalie as a toy. Whatever Natalie felt wouldn't make him feel bad.“All this time, you've probably been wondering who the person is who hates you enough to make you suffer like that. I'll take you to see him,” Lucas said. Right after that, the car they were traveling in stopped before a nightclub.Natalie swallowed nervously. She got out of the car without asking many questions and followed Lucas into the nightclub.That was no ordinary nightclub, but an exclusive nightclub. The security staff guarding the entrance looked at Natalie sk
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 123. Lucas Coming
That night, Natalie stayed alone in the flat. The quiet and lonely atmosphere made her claustrophobic. She looked out the window and daydreamed while staring at the snowflakes falling from the sky.Natalie felt like everything was empty. She had no purpose in life anymore, no dreams or desires that could make her endure and try hard. Even if she had to die today, she probably wouldn’t regret it.She rubbed her face tiredly. “Maybe I’d better go out,” she muttered.It wasn’t late, so Natalie decided to go to a small, secluded old restaurant. There were only a few customers there, and there weren’t even any waiters, just an old couple sincerely serving the customers.“Miss, are you a new customer? What makes you interested in coming to this old tavern?” The old woman wearing an apron asked Natalie kindly.“This place is in an alley, but the aroma of the food wafts far away. It’s surprisingly quiet here. I’m not in the mood to meet many people,” Natalie said.The old lady smiled and sat

“Miss, please.” Mr. Lawrence invited Natalie to come in and look around the empty flat. She nodded and went to look around. However, her mind could not focus.Natalie couldn’t ignore someone who might be watching her. There were only two possibilities that popped into her head. If it wasn’t Lucas’s subordinate, it had to be Dante’s. The people who had been ensnaring her were just them.“Sister, why are you daydreaming? Don’t you like this place?” Kelsey asked.“I like it,” Natalie answered immediately. She smiled and asked the landlord a few questions, including about the rent and the safety of the neighborhood.Mr. Lawrence explained kindly. However, Natalie wanted to quickly catch who was stalking her, so she didn’t want to listen too much.“May I rent for one month first? If I feel comfortable, I’ll extend the lease,” Natalie pleaded.“No problem. We are very flexible,” Mr. Lawrence replied.Natalie immediately paid the rent for one month. It was probably the quickest transaction f
