Jaxon’s head turned rapidly when he heard Mia say, “I want to return to Aurelia.”Both of them were on the bed with their bodies hugging each other, and Mia’s words had just relieved Jaxon, so he pulled her closer.“Have you thought about this? I don’t want there to be a series of fight once we get back,” he explained, receiving a light pinch on the waist. Of course, he pretended to wince because it didn’t hurt.Mia nodded slowly while her fingers played on Jaxon’s bare chest, making him feel amused and slowly getting rid of her hand by holding it tightly.“I… don’t want us to fight like this.”Hearing this, Jaxon felt like he wanted to smile, but he held back because the timing wasn’t right. He felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his chest. What a relief.From behind her eyelashes, Mia looked at the man sleeping right beside her.She had been looking at him for so long that it was difficult for her to forget his existence.Maybe they’ll have silly disagreements in the futur
All the workers welcome Mia and Jaxon’s return to Aurelia Castle. They even flocked to Mia, congratulating her on her pregnancy. And like a proud mother-to-be, she showed several sonograms of their twins.“Oh my goodness, I can’t wait for our young master to be born,” said Pipper and Emily at the same time.Allana, who didn’t want to be left behind, also said the same thing.“Have you chosen a name?”Hearing that question, Mia immediately glanced at Jaxon, who was talking quite seriously with Nana in the corner of the room. It seemed that the grandson and grandmother were discussing something, so Mia turned her attention back to the maids surrounding her.“Jaxon and I haven’t discussed it yet, but there’s still plenty of time to do it,” Mia replied, which made everyone nod in agreement.“What a coincidence. Mr. Bradwood asked for the room connected to the master bedroom to be vacated and changed to a baby’s bedroom.”Hearing that, of course, Mia felt happy. She didn’t even think Jaxon
Seeing that several other members of the Red Cage had gathered, Jaxon relayed the information he had just received from Salvador. “So they’ve found Gioluca’s whereabouts?” Jaxon nodded as he pulled out a piece of paper Connor had also given. “I want to take you and some other members to Chicago. If you guys have a busy life that can’t be left behind, I can bring my people along,” he explained which immediately got a nod. “I’ll come with you,” Rey said, about to prepare to leave. However, Jaxon held his hand and asked Rey to sit back on the sofa. “There’s still something to discuss.” Instantly, the men sat with their bodies slightly leaning towards Jaxon. They wanted to know what other message the man had brought. “That woman.” Pointing Jaxon at the pink-haired woman, they already knew her identity. “I want you to get rid of her.” Hearing that, Rey sighed. He didn’t like dealing with women, especially punishing them, so he looked a little tortured. Seeing that, Danny also took
As soon as Jaxon and the rest of Red Cage arrived at the airport, they jumped into a vehicle parked on the tarmac. Jaxon suspected that numerous guys in black suits were waiting for them and that they were Salvador’s members in Famiglia.“Sir,” said a man who was a reinforcer.With a faint nod, the man led Jaxon to a car parked not far from the plane where they landed.“Mr. Salvador asked me to take you directly to Vitielo’s house,” the man said as he opened the door for Jaxon and the others.However, hearing the man’s words, Jaxon also turned to him for a moment.“Isn’t there a secret place for this meeting?”Instantly, the reinforcer shook his head ‘no,’ which made Jaxon feel dissatisfied.“Right now, only the Vitielo residence can keep all of you safe.”Oh, Jaxon sure does. Because Romero and Sergio Falcone and his men didn’t want anything to do with the Famiglia if they attacked the clan head.“Alright, take me there,” Jaxon said, followed by the rest of the Red Cage...Meanwhile
“What do you want to tell me?” Jaxon asked after they had finished the tense and awkward lunch.The Red Cage and the Famiglia members seemed to be watching each other, afraid that something might happen that would cause a war to erupt between the two organizations eating at the same table.Fabiana’s arrival was, of course, unexpected at the time. In truth, Jaxon was furious at the woman but couldn’t do anything about it, so he stared at her from across the table as if preparing to kill something.Of course, this was realized by Salvador, who acted as if he was the mediator between them all. And the thing that angered Jaxon the most was Salvador’s attitude of eating quietly as if they were in the middle of a picnic, and the presence of the middle-aged woman wasn’t something to bother.“Fabiana confessed. She even turned herself in before I dragged her out of hiding,” Salvador explained as he pulled a cigar from one pocket and lit a fire to light it.The man gestured for Jaxon to sit on
With a furrowed brow in confusion, Mia looked at Slaine questioningly.“What is it that I wouldn’t believe?”The two women whispered to each other, making the atmosphere heavy between them, so Mia also approached the door, right behind Slaine.Seeing her friend walking to where she was standing, Slaine’s hand signaled Mia to return to her original place. There was panic behind her clear eyes, which made her best friend want to see what the hell was out there.“You’d better go back to your seat. Let me check the situation outside first,” whispered Slaine very carefully, which intrigued Mia even more, so her brow furrowed in confusion.The woman even wanted to peek through the gap in the door, but Slaine quickly covered it with her whole body, so Mia was a little surprised and took a few steps back.“Oh my, Slaine! You startled me! What’s going on out there? “This time, she didn’t realize she had raised her voice.Slaine, who chose to remain silent, could only reply with a confused look
Waiting for Nicko’s arrival, Jaxon and Salvador looked dazed on the sofa. The two of them were primarily silent while waiting for the arrival of the Famiglia group, who would take Gioluca to Vitielo’s residence. Meanwhile, Rey and the others sat opposite in a similar position. They seemed to be waiting with anticipation.Except for the ticking of the clock on the wall and the singing of birds in the trees near the garden, other than that, there was no sound. The surrounding environment was extremely tight and heated.Suddenly, amid the quiet, there was a light knock on the front door, which caused all heads to turn towards the sound source.“Let me see,” said Gavin, starting to get up.He peeked through the keyhole and found it was Fabiana in front of him. Seeing that, Gavin turned around and caught Rey’s questioning gaze.“Fabiana knocks,” he said, attracting the attention of several heads. “What should I do?”Instantly Jaxon clenched his fists, and with his face tightened and jaw cl
Jaxon finally stood up. He couldn’t stand sitting for too long. He paced back and forth in front of all of them. With a slightly ragged breath and stifled anger, the man seemed to want to explode and say something. However, even Salvador, who realized that he could only stare at his partner with an expression that was hard to read,Instantly, Salvador turned his attention to Fabiana, who was currently shriveled in the chair with a hurt look.“Auntie,” he called softly, which made Fabiana lift her head.“I can be sure to take Romero with me, but I can’t promise he’s free of any wounds.”The look Fabiana gave made Salvador feel a little guilty. During her marriage to Gioluca, she always tried to appear more dominant and arrogant. However, the Fabiana in front of him right now was far from those words.The woman considered the most potent and influential turns out to be just a wounded mother.“Were you the one who hid Gioluca?”Rey’s question was answered with a shake of her head.“No, i
