Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 40. On The Bed
Natalie felt her hands go numb. Dante hadn’t removed the handcuffs, even though it was already midnight. In such a locked position, even if she were sleepy, she wouldn’t be comfortable sleeping. Her stomach suddenly rumbled. Damn it! She was starving. Natalie exhaled harshly. When was Dante going to let her go? As if the timing was right, the closed door suddenly opened. Dante’s figure walked in carrying a tray of food. The tantalizing aroma of grilled meat wafted through the air. “I brought you dinner,” Dante said as he sat on the edge of the bed. He smiled, enjoying Natalie’s annoyed expression. “Take the cuffs off!” Natalie exclaimed. Dante shook his head. “As a good fiancé, I’ll feed you,” he said casually. He set the tray on the bed and picked up a fork and knife. Natalie felt like swearing. How on earth was she going to eat lying down like that? Dante was such a nutcase! The man cut the steak with a calm expression. The cut wasn’t big and was ideal. Then he thrust it into
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 41. Stay with Me Tonight
Dante sat on the sofa, watching Natalie tend to his wound. The woman was crouched on the floor with a serious face. She was holding tweezers and trying to pull out a small shard of ceramic plate that was deeply embedded in the sole of his foot.“Tell me if it hurts,” Natalie said, without looking at Dante. She winced at the wound on his foot.“Are you afraid?” Dante asked, but Natalie didn’t answer because she was too focused on her activities.Dante secretly let out a long sigh. In all those years, no woman had ever handled his wounds. In fact, he had never let a woman see him injured. Why? Because he didn’t want them to take advantage of his weakness to attack him.He remembered his mother doing that in the past. When Dante’s father was in a weakened condition, his mother gave him a deadly attack. It wasn’t that they weren’t in love anymore or that his father had betrayed their love, but from the beginning, she had been an enemy who wanted to destroy the Vittorio family.Dante and h

Natalie went to the kitchen to make coffee. Lizzy was busy making breakfast. The girl turned around and asked, “Miss, I see that Mr. Vittorio is injured. What happened last night?” “He stepped on a broken plate, but it shouldn’t be anything serious. I’ve bandaged the wound,” Natalie replied, without giving away the details. “Mr. Vittorio wouldn’t just sit back, even if he was injured. You’ll see, he’ll be off doing this and that,” said Lizzy, who seemed to know Dante well. That made Natalie curious. “Have you been working for him for long?” Lizzy was silent. A moment later, she shook her head. “I just know him pretty well.” Natalie’s coffee machine was running, and she looked down at it. Secretly, her mind was busy determining what she should do with the threatening letter sent to her. ‘Do I have to investigate Dante’s illicit business?’ She asked herself, then sighed heavily. ‘Maybe I should find out how Kelsey is doing. But how?’ Kelsey was the name of Natalie’s sister, who l
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 43. Meeting Best Friend
Inside the elevator, Natalie stood looking at the car keys in her hand. She felt excited. It had been a long time since she had driven, and the car she was going to drive this time was luxurious and expensive. How could she not be excited?The corner of her lips lifted. Suddenly, the elevator doors opened. She thought she had arrived at her destination floor, but she hadn’t. On the 18th floor, a woman wearing sunglasses entered hurriedly. Her formal attire looked chaotic and messy.“Irina!” Natalie exclaimed in surprise, but then quickly realized her mistake. Stupid. She shouldn’t have called out to her!The woman named Irina turned around and looked surprised. She immediately took off her sunglasses and then watched Natalie up and down intensely. Her brow furrowed deeply.“Natalie? Is this you?” Irina asked cautiously. In the past, she was Natalie’s manager. Their relationship was very close, even like siblings. They had gone through many ups and downs together in the modeling indust
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 44. Natalie's Grandma
Natalie answered Dante’s video call while the therapist returned to massaging her feet. She cleared her throat at the sight of Dante’s face on the phone screen. “What’s wrong?” she asked.In the car, Dante frowned at the sight of Natalie lying down, wearing only a towel. Her white skin seemed to glisten with oil. Her narrow cleavage looked plumpy and so tempting.“Where are you?” Dante’s voice sounded less than pleasant.“I’m getting a massage. Don’t you see how I look now?” Natalie replied with a frown.The frown on Dante’s forehead deepened. “Who’s the therapist?” he probed.Natalie stared at her therapist, who remained focused on massaging her feet. She replied, “A woman. Don’t worry.”Dante’s expression showed suspicion and disbelief. Finally, Natalie asked her therapist, “Can I show you to him? He seems very afraid of other men touching my body.”The therapist smiled. “Go ahead, Miss.”Natalie pointed her camera at the therapist massaging her feet. However, Dante’s focus was draw
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 45. I’m Scared, Dante
“W-who?” Natalie’s grandmother’s voice trembled. She couldn’t believe her own ears.“It’s Natalie,” Natalie said as she closed her eyes. She wanted to go home and hug her grandmother. But that was impossible. Maybe she would never even see her grandmother again. Thinking about it made her even sadder.“Oh, dear Natalie, is this really you?” Minerva, Natalie’s grandmother, sounded surprised and excited. Natalie nodded while trying to hold back her sobs. She asked, “Grandma, how are you? I heard you were sick.”Minerva chuckled. “Are you crying? Honey, I heard a lot of people there. You must remember that elegant women should not cry in crowded places. You must be calm.”“Grandma, we’re not talking about that now,” Natalie said, feeling a little frustrated. She wanted to talk about something more serious, but her grandmother was teaching her how to be an elegant lady.“My dear, you don’t have to worry about me. I’m sick of missing you. But now I’m talking to you, so my condition will d
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 46. Dante Knows
Natalie hugged Dante as if seeking protection from him, and it made Dante feel complicated. Slowly, his hand came up to rub her back.“I’ll look for her if you’re worried,” Dante said, which instantly made Natalie swallow.“And then?” she asked.“Then what do you want? If you want to eliminate her, I can kill her.”Dante just said it casually, but it managed to give Natalie goosebumps. Killing someone seemed so easy to Dante, like it was just a trivial matter. Whether the man would actually follow her will or not, it was still terrifying.“No. Dante, you don’t have to,” Natalie said softly. She looked up and stared into the man’s face.“As long as you’re by my side, I’ll be safe, right?” she asked.Natalie’s puffy eyes looked so weak. She looked like a fragile woman who could break at any moment. However, Dante found it strange that Natalie never looked like that. Was she acting?Dante had been with Natalie for several months. And during that time, she had always been a tough woman wh
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 47. Slap for Slap
At 3 am, Natalie suddenly woke up because of a nightmare. Her throat was thirsty, so she intended to go to the kitchen to get some cold water. However, just as she left the bedroom, she vaguely heard Dante talking to someone downstairs.Her brow furrowed instantly. Who had come to visit at 3 in the morning? Could it be Alex?Carefully, she took off her slippers and stepped down the stairs. Many of the lights had been turned off, so the atmosphere in the penthouse was indeed darker and more dimly lit.Dante was in the living room. The closer Natalie got, the clearer their voices became. She heard a woman whining spoiledly. “Dante, you have to help me. If you don’t-”“What? Are you going to snitch to your father or grandfather?” Dante’s voice was flat and cold. He didn’t seem interested in the conversation.The woman snorted with a frown. “I know you don’t like me, but could you have a little compassion for me?”“Why should I have mercy on you?” asked Dante.“Because our grandfather wan

Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 94. Finding Leon
The next day, Dante drove Natalie and her grandmother home. Alex came with him, too.When they arrived, there were already several bodyguards standing guard at Minerva’s house. Natalie was surprised and asked Dante as soon as they got out of the car. “You arranged this?”“Your grandmother asked for it,” Dante replied casually.Minerva, who heard that, immediately coughed. How could that man take advantage of an old woman like her?“Grandma?” Natalie looked at Minerva in surprise. She never thought her grandmother would ask something like that of Dante.“You don’t mind, do you?” asked Minerva, supporting Dante’s lie. After all, the man was pretending not to know about the attack that night.Natalie shook her head slowly. The placement of bodyguards was a good thing. It wouldn’t be easy for Leon or George’s gang to get to her if there were bodyguards. It was better that she didn’t make a big deal out of it.“Thank you,” she said to Dante. She was just worried that he already knew someth
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 93. In the Hospital
When Dante arrived at the hospital, it was midnight and past visiting hours. However, he could sneak in with Alex’s help.In front of a closed door, he stood uncertainly. Moments later, he knocked softly on the door. It didn’t take long for Minerva to open the door.“Dante?” The old lady looked surprised, not expecting to see Dante there. Hadn’t Natalie hidden their whereabouts at the hospital?Dante pressed an index finger to his lips, asking Minerva to keep quiet. He glanced into the room and saw Natalie already sleeping. “Sorry, my arrival was too sudden and intrusive,” he whispered.Minerva immediately shook her head. “Not at all. Natalie must be happy to have you here. Please come in,” she said gently.Dante did not enter immediately. Instead, he walked to a waiting chair outside the room. Minerva sensed he had something to say, so she closed the door and followed him.“What is it? Do you have something to say?” Minerva asked.The man sighed. “Natalie hid everything from me. She
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 92. He Still Cares
Dante wasn’t very busy that day and didn’t want to overthink about Natalie, so he came to visit his grandfather’s winery in Napa Valley. It was only about an hour and a half away from where he was staying.Roberto’s winery and vineyard in Napa Valley was much bigger than the branch in New York. However, the old man was more comfortable living in New York, where he could oversee his family’s illegal business.The manager and person in charge of the winery was Javer, one of Dante’s uncles, with whom he had almost no dealings. Javer only focused on taking care of the winery and never wanted to deal with the Vittorio family’s illegal business. So Dante also rarely interacted with him.When Dante came to visit, Javer was naturally surprised. The tall man met him immediately. “Dante, what’s so magical about you coming here?” His tone was sarcastic.“Uncle, I see your vineyard is getting busy,” Dante said as he watched the planters tending to the vines.Javer snorted. “Does the sunrise from
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 91. Feeling Disappointed
At night, Dante sat on a bar stool, massaging his forehead. His eyes were closed. The whiskey glass before him was empty, but his mood still hadn’t improved.Alex walked over and patted him on the back. “What are you going to do after this?”“I don’t know,” Dante muttered. He looked lethargic and lackluster. His cell phone rang for the umpteenth time, but he ignored it.“Do you hate her?” Alex asked, after seeing how Dante repeatedly ignored Natalie’s phone calls. It made him wonder how he felt about her.“I don’t know.”Dante asked the bartender for another whiskey. He seemed reluctant and lazy to talk about Natalie. However, the more unwilling he was to talk about her, the more obvious his fear of facing his emotions and feelings became.Alex, who had worked with Dante for years, could certainly recognize his abnormality. Although the man didn’t say or express it, Alex knew Dante must be disappointed with Natalie.“You wouldn’t just leave her, would you?” Alex sat down next to Dante
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 90. The Wrong Truth
Natalie had received many stitches on her arm. The palm of her left hand was also stitched up. She was hospitalized and didn’t regain consciousness until the morning.When she opened her eyes, the first person she saw was her grandmother. The old lady was sitting on the sofa beside the hospital bed with her eyes closed. Her face and skin looked tired.Unconsciously, Natalie’s tears fell. She cried and sobbed not because of the pain in her body, but because she remembered the horrific incident of last night. She still felt scared and shocked.Minerva, who couldn’t sleep well, heard Natalie’s sobs. Both of her eyes opened. “Oh, my dear...”She got up and approached her granddaughter. Her hand gently rubbed Natalie’s head. “Are you feeling sick? I’ll call the doctor,” she said.Natalie shook her head. She wanted to grasp her grandmother’s hand, but she couldn’t move her hand. It was excruciating. Her left palm was also bandaged, and she couldn’t hold on to anything.“Don’t move too much.
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 89. Night Scream
Again, it was about Dante. Natalie took a deep breath and tried to calm down. “Why do you think I know about that? He’s an acute paranoid. Do you think he’d tell me every time he traveled?”The man shoved the muzzle of his gun harder into the back of Natalie’s head. “If he were wary of you, he wouldn’t treat you like a lover,” he said coldly.Natalie clenched her hands into fists. “You must not know him. He’s good at acting.”“Where did he go?!” the man snapped slightly while pushing the gun hard out of impatience. Natalie’s head hurt from the weapon. She stifled her groan.“I don’t know,” Natalie hissed. She secretly held the scissors under her pants. If the situation was urgent, she might use it to stab the man.“You don’t seem to be taking my threats seriously.” Suddenly, the man kicked Natalie’s leg so hard that she fell to her knees. Both knees hit the floor, and it hurt a lot.Natalie’s eyes watered slightly. She gritted her teeth against the pain and anger. “Are you George and
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 88. Who Are You?!
That night, Natalie spent time with her grandmother in bed. She lay down and hugged the old woman warmly. “Grandma, what’s been going on for the past two years?”Minerva gently stroked Natalie’s head. “Nothing special. I went to London a few times when I was bored.”Before Natalie was imprisoned, she often took her grandmother out to shopping, to social gatherings, or simply to travel abroad on vacation. However, since her arrest and imprisonment, Minerva rarely went out.“Darling, can you tell me what really happened back then? I know you couldn’t have committed a crime, so who framed you so cruelly?”Natalie closed her eyes. “It wasn’t Brent,” she whispered.“Are you sure it wasn’t your ex?” Minerva asked to make sure.Natalie nodded. She had been imprisoned for premeditated murder. She was accused of hiring a hitman to kill Beverley by running her over with a car. However, Chris, Brent’s twin brother, saved Beverley, which made him hit by the car and killed.Brent Oliver investigat
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 87. Strange Man
An old lady wearing a cardigan and a long skirt came out of the house. Her graying hair was neatly put in a bun. She looked so elegant despite her age.The old lady walked to the fence of the house. Even her steps looked calm and graceful. Natalie, who saw the lady, immediately smiled with emotion. “My grandma hasn’t changed,” she murmured.“So gorgeous,” Dante praised. He was amazed by how graceful and gentle Natalie’s grandmother was, like a noble lady.“Grandma!” Natalie called out to her grandmother. The old lady, who initially felt a little confused, immediately smiled.Minerva Wentworth immediately asked her housemaid to open the gate. “Please, open the gate!”The housemaid opened the gate. Natalie immediately ran inside and hugged her grandmother. Her long-held longing turned into tears.“Grandma...”“Oh, my dear, you’re finally home,” Minerva whispered as she rubbed Natalie’s back. Then, gently and lovingly, she kissed her granddaughter’s head.“Grandma, I’ve missed you,” Nata
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 86. Grandmother's House
Natalie slept in Dante’s arms. The fever made her dream of something unwanted.In her dream, she saw a group of assassins chase Dante and injure him badly. However, the dream suddenly changed, showing a scene where the man slashed her body with a knife and whipped the incision until it tore.“Why did you betray me, Cavendish?!” shouted Dante angrily. He whipped and tortured her body until it bled.She screamed and cried, but Dante cried, too. He tortured her while shedding tears. His eyes were filled with pain and disappointment.“I’m sorry...” she whispered.On the bed of the private jet, Dante frowned. He looked down at Natalie’s tear-streaked face. Her expression looked so painful. It confused him.“Cavey?” He tried to wake her up. However, Natalie seemed to be lost in her dream. She kept mumbling apologies while crying.“Cavey, wake up!” Dante shook Natalie’s body until she gasped. Her eyes opened, and she immediately got up to sit. Her face was pale, and her breathing rose and fe
