Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 69. The Perpetrator
Dante drove Natalie to the penthouse and then hurried away. He said he would shower and change at the office. Natalie didn’t know if he was being honest with his words, but she didn’t question him at all.When lunchtime came, Natalie’s phone suddenly rang with an incoming call. She hesitated whether to pick it up, finally leaving it on until the call stopped.A moment later, an incoming message came from the same number. She opened it immediately and read that the person was Francesca. The secretary was awake and wanted to talk to her.Finally, Natalie called Francesca immediately. “I’m so sorry, I just came from the bathroom,” she lied. “How are you now? I’m really sorry about yesterday.”Francesca sighed and replied, “Don’t worry, Miss Smith. I’m feeling better now. I called you so you wouldn’t be worried about me.”“Is someone looking after you at the hospital?” Natalie asked.“Yes. There are Mr. Vittorio’s subordinates outside.”Natalie shook her head. “I’ll be right there,” she s

In a large mansion, an old man was smoking a wooden cigar pipe. A recent issue of a magazine was on his lap. He looked very relaxed while reading his magazine.A bodyguard suddenly came and handed the old man a cell phone. “Sir, I have a message for you.”“What is it?” The old man watched the phone screen with narrowed eyes. A video played and showed a scene of two men talking to make a deal. He recognized one of them.“What is Edric doing?” the old man asked.“Dante’s secretary is in the hospital. Yesterday she ate the gelato given to Dante’s fiancée and ended up poisoned. After some investigation, they found this footage,” the bodyguard explained.“Really? Did Camilla send Edric?” The old man named Henry frowned as he watched the videotape. “Quickly, call the girl here!”“Okay.”The bodyguard left immediately. Henry smoked his cigar pipe and waited grimly. About half an hour later, he heard a car entering the courtyard. He rushed out onto the second-floor terrace.Camilla got out of

Natalie was a little surprised that Dante had suddenly asked her to come to his office. He said Alex was picking her up and would probably arrive in a few minutes.“What’s wrong?” Francesca asked after Natalie hung up the phone from Dante.“Dante asked me to come to his office. I don’t know if it’s anything important,” Natalie replied.“Maybe he misses you.” Francesca chuckled, then smiled. “It doesn’t matter. I’ll be fine here with a bodyguard outside,” she said.“I’ll come here again tomorrow if you’re not allowed to go home yet,” Natalie said.“Thank you.”Moments later, Alex walked into the room. He didn’t immediately ask Natalie to leave, but approached Francesca and asked, “How are you now?”“I’m fine. Thank you for helping me so much,” Francesca said sincerely. Yesterday, Alex took care of all her hospital needs.“My pleasure,” Alex said. He smiled and then asked Natalie to leave.Natalie said goodbye to Francesca before walking away with Alex. On the way, she asked the man why

“Dante, aren’t you overreacting? Everyone’s fine now anyway,” Henry said with a furrowed brow.Dante gave him a flat look. “Think about it carefully. I don’t want to repeat myself.”Henry let out a long breath. He held his granddaughter’s cold, sweaty hand. Obviously, the girl was afraid of going to court. She was afraid of going to jail.The old man turned to look at Natalie, hoping she would be kind to him and his granddaughter. However, the woman just looked down, having no intention of helping him.Finally, Henry smiled bitterly. “Alright. I’ll tell you my answer tomorrow,” he said helplessly. After that, he led Camilla out of Dante’s office.Natalie stared at the closed door complexly. Her heart went cold. Had she been too cruel? Did she need to punish Camilla to that extent?Suddenly, Dante pulled her to sit on his lap. He rubbed her cheek with a smile. “Do you feel good now?”“I don’t know.” Natalie looked down. She remembered that living in prison was nauseating. She hated tha

Natalie swallowed, looking fearfully at the man smirking at her. George dared to come to the penthouse as if he wasn’t afraid Dante would find out. It made her wonder how much influence and power George had in the underworld.“Aren’t you afraid that Dante will find out about your visit?” Natalie asked as she gripped the door handle. “If he finds out about our relationship, he won’t trust me anymore,” she said coldly.George chuckled as if her words were a joke. He smiled and said, “He left while it was still dark. Your maid also left somewhere. You think I don’t know you’re alone right now?”“You’re watching over this penthouse.” Natalie gave him a sharp look.“Let me in!” The man said, sounding like a stern order. Perhaps because he was older, he was more intimidating.Natalie shook her head. She was afraid George would do something bad. “If you want to talk to me, we’d better talk here.”The man looked at her with a smile. “Natalie, it won’t be comfortable talking standing like this

“I don’t know if this information is useful or-”“Just say it, Cavendish!” George hissed while gripping Natalie’s jaw. His gaze glared fiercely. He was almost out of patience.Natalie closed her eyes, then whispered, “I heard that the ship carrying Dante’s belongings was badly damaged. So, it’s stuck at the port. But I don’t know where the port is or what goods they’re referring to.”George’s eyebrows rose after hearing that. That was definitely interesting information. A sly smirk appeared on his face. “Do you know where he went?”“No.” Natalie lied. She suspected Dante’s departure to Las Vegas was to take care of the matter of the ship and his belongings. Maybe the port Ricky Goodman and Dante had talked about that night was in Las Vegas. Who knew?“Are you sure?” George stroked Natalie’s hair. He didn’t trust her easily because Natalie was a lying woman. Suddenly, he grabbed her hair with such force that she winced in pain.“Are you sure you don’t know?” The man asked once again.“

“Dante ....” Natalie muttered in a trembling voice. Dante and Alex were wearing all-black, covered clothing, but she could see that one of them, or even both of them, was injured.Dante carried Alex to the sofa. Lizzy, whose reflexes were quick, rushed over to them. “What happened?” she asked worriedly.“Help me take care of his wound!” Dante ordered without answering Lizzy’s question.“Okay.”Lizzy ran to get the first aid kit. Meanwhile, Natalie stayed frozen in place. She tried to calm down and act naturally, not letting Dante suspect her.She hurried over to the man and asked, “Are you hurt, too?” She held Dante’s arm and scanned his body.“Just a minor injury,” Dante replied. He let go of Natalie’s hand and helped remove Alex’s coat and shirt. The man’s right chest looked bloody with a bullet hole. Although it wasn’t deep, the blood kept flowing.Natalie, who saw that, could only gulp with a shaky feeling. “I... I’ll get a towel,” she said, quickly turning around and going to the

Natalie released her embrace and looked into Dante’s eyes. “I’m so sorry for you,” she said softly.Dante wiped the tears from her face. “Why sad? Death and loss are common in the underworld. The lives of subordinates are just like cannon fodder.”“Do you think of them that way?” Natalie asked.The man was silent. Natalie sighed. “It seems like the underworld is indeed a terrible place,” she muttered before finally stepping away.Dante watched Natalie walk away. His eyes were closed, and his hands were clenched into fists. After a moment, he got up and walked over to Alex and Lizzy. The girl was already bandaging the gunshot wound.“Rest in the guest room,” Dante told Alex.“I want to talk to you.” Alex’s gaze was serious when he said that. But Dante was tired and needed some time alone.“We can talk about it tomorrow,” Dante replied.Alex shook his head disapprovingly. He asked Lizzy to leave him alone with Dante. The girl obediently stepped away.“What’s so urgent? You’re about to p

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
Mr. Mafia's Wild Desire 122. Meet Him Again
“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
