Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 54. How Pathetic She Is
“Working together?” Natalie laughed tastelessly. “You’re just forcing me! You’re all forcing me!” she shouted with reddened eyes. The man above her laughed loudly at seeing her so angry. He touched her lips, but Natalie quickly brushed his hand away. “Don’t ever touch me!” A smirk appeared on the man’s lips. He pulled Natalie into a sitting position. His right hand gripped the back of her neck, and then he whispered, “Remember whose side you’re on. If you dare to defect, I’m not sure what will happen to your grandmother and sister.” Natalie gritted her teeth angrily. Her hands were clenched tightly into fists. “What if I choose to report you to Mr. Vittorio?” The man chuckled. “You think Lucas and I work alone?” The answer made Natalie tremble. “Someone is ordering you around,” she muttered. “Who is it?” A mysterious smile appeared on the man’s lips. “You’ll find out when the time comes.” “Why me?” Natalie asked the same question she had once asked Lucas. She still didn’t unders
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 55. You Worried About Me?
Natalie woke up late that day. Her head was spinning from last night’s hangover. She got up and sat dreamily for a few moments to gather consciousness.The table in front of her was clear of whiskey bottles. However, the smell of alcohol still wafted from her body. Finally, she got up and went to her room to clean up.Moments later, she came out of the room wearing only a bathrobe. She left her slightly wet hair down. Her stomach was hungry, so she went to the kitchen.“Where’s Lizzy?”She looked around but couldn’t find the girl. ‘Maybe she was in her room,’ she thought.Natalie didn’t really care about that. She took two pieces of white bread and spread them with peanut butter. It wouldn’t fill her enough, so she grabbed some yogurt and mixed it with granola and the few remaining fruits.“Lizzy should go shopping,” she muttered and then shook her head. “No. I’d better.”She finally started to eat her breakfast even though it was past the hour. While she was busy eating, Dante had ju
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 56. Make Me the First Woman
“W-why would I worry about you?” Natalie pretended to cough and let go of Dante’s hand. “I just don’t understand what you’re doing all that for.”Dante smirked. His gaze couldn’t escape Natalie’s innocent face, devoid of any makeup. There was no telling what he was thinking. A moment later, he said, “My family’s been doing it for decades. It’s not that easy to stop.”“Your father and grandfather did too?” Natalie asked.“Yes.” Dante leaned his back against the couch and began to tell a story. “My grandfather brought the Vittorio family to greatness. Not only did his illegal business expand, but his winery also became more successful in America.”“Our relationships and networks became extensive, whether they were sincere or just for the sake of it. But our enemies are also becoming more and more numerous. If we suddenly stopped all business, can you imagine what would happen?” Dante asked.Natalie became interested in hearing that. She had never been interested in talking about the maf
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 57. Is He Cheating on Me?
Natalie couldn’t believe Dante had said he would accompany her to see her grandmother. Did he have some kind of purpose? Somehow, she felt suspicious and worried.She kept thinking about Dante’s words even as she changed clothes. “If he wants to know where my grandmother lives, he can find out without going with me. Wouldn’t that be a waste of time?” she muttered.Dante was a busy man. He only needed to have his subordinates investigate Natalie’s grandmother’s house, and then he would find her. Why would he bother going to Los Angeles with Natalie?It was strange, but actually quite beneficial to Natalie. Maybe with Dante going with her, she could convince her grandmother of her engagement.Natalie sighed. “Let things go the way he wants,” she said with a nod.That day, she had nothing in particular to do, so she just lay around lazily scrolling through her social media. Dante was also resting, and she didn’t want to disturb him.Suddenly, the bell sounded faintly. Natalie frowned. Wh
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 58. Kiss Me
Over the next few days, Natalie tended to Dante’s wounds more often. He was also quite enjoying her kindness. Their relationship became better as arguments became less frequent.That morning, Natalie and Dante had breakfast together. The man’s cell phone suddenly rang with an incoming call. He immediately picked it up.“What’s up?” the man asked. His brow furrowed for a few moments.“I know. I’ll go there in the afternoon,” he said again.Natalie watched him as she ate her waffle. After Dante put down his phone, he said, “I’m going to the winery this afternoon. Do you want to come with me?”The invitation was intriguing enough for Natalie. She wanted to know how big the Vittorio family’s winery was. Besides, she was tired of being in the penthouse all day.“Is your grandfather there?” she asked.“Yes. You’ll probably meet the rest of my family too,” Dante said.Natalie was honestly not ready to meet Dante’s family. But, ready or not, she had to do it. There was a mission to be done. I
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 59. Poison
The photo of Dante kissing Natalie in front of the elevator doors instantly spread in the office community. It became a hot topic of conversation among the employees. They seemed eager to follow the development of their boss’s romantic relationship.Meanwhile, Natalie had already managed to drive Camilla away. She sat on the sofa in Dante’s office as she watched him busy at his desk. When he was seriously working, he looked different. His charisma radiated even more strongly, and it was mesmerizing.Natalie had always liked mature men who had established jobs and could make a lot of money. To her, that was one of the sexiest things about a man. Hell, Dante was such a man.She took off her high heels and put her feet up on the sofa. She quietly took out her cell phone and took several pictures of Dante without his knowledge. The corners of her lips turned up.“The most red flag man,” she muttered as she stared at Dante’s picture on her phone screen.After that, she took some aesthetic-
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 60. Dante's Obsession
The matter of the poisoned gelato made Alex curious about the culprit. Whoever intended to harm Natalie in the office using poison must be a courageous person.In the security control room, he had several operators play all the surveillance camera footage. A row of monitors on the wall displayed the CCTV footage in every corner of the cafeteria. They all watched as they looked for irregularities and suspicious people.Alex’s focus was on the CCTV footage of Natalie and Francesca. He noticed the waitress delivering the gelato to their table and then turned his attention to the other monitors showing the cafeteria kitchen.“Rewind a few minutes!” he ordered one of the operators.The monitor immediately showed the situation in the kitchen as a chef was serving gelato in special bowls. Alex shook his head. “Rewind again! I want to know who asked this chef to serve gelato.”The scene on the screen changed again. Alex finally saw a man in a jacket talking to the chef secretly. The man was w
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 61. Meet Dante's Family
All the way to the winery, Natalie was silent. She wasn’t in a good mood, but who cared? She just stared out the car window as she watched the sky turn purplish orange.Dante’s car arrived at their destination when it was already dark. Natalie got out of the car and rubbed her arms. The air in the winery area felt cooler and chillier than in the center of Manhattan.She looked around and marveled at the large building in front of her that was dominated by wood. Unfortunately, she couldn’t see the vineyard behind the winery because it was dark. Even so, she still felt the atmosphere, which felt like coming home to a hometown in the countryside.The quieter environment made Natalie feel calmer. At that moment, Dante suddenly grabbed her hand and led her into the winery. She remained silent and tried to smile as the workers smiled at her.“Are you mad at me?” Dante asked as he turned to Natalie.“No. I’m just in a bad mood,” Natalie lied.Dante put his arm around her waist and kissed her

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
