Revenge: Submitting To The Mafia King Intimacy
Cara POVAdonis shut the door carefully behind him as we walked into the room. "What's up?" I wheeled around, cradling my bump "You sounded like you had something urgent to say.""That Jacob guy..." He replied, the same possessive look from earlier, still etched on his face. "You were smiling at him."My face contorted, "Yeah... he's a guest. Is it a bad thing to be hospitable?""Cecelia likes him.""Yes... Where's this going?""We should stand for Luca. I don't like him." He crossed his arms, eyes communicating exactly how he felt."Oh... that ship sailed a long time ago, Adonis. Cecelia loves him. There's nothing I can do about it." I walked up to him, standing on my toes to straighten out the lines on his forehead releasing the tightness of his face. "Staring me down wouldn't change a thing. I told you; you can't use the same tactics you use on other people on me.""How is it... possible to fall in love that easily?" He spat like the words themselves left a bitter taste in his mo

Cara's POV Just as I was catching my breath, another ripping sound echoed through the room and my sports bra fell to the floor, freeing my strained chest from its supposed cage.My breath got caught in my throat, "Wa... wait. You can't keep destroying my underwear, Adonis." I heaved, turning back towards the culprit.He'd taken off his shirt with his trousers, halfway down his legs. The heat intensified as he quickly removed his briefs. The raw desire I saw in his gaze made my stomach twist in knots."Your underwear is the least on my mind, Bel" he murmured, and before I could say anything in reply, gently swept me into his arms.The feel of his bare skin against mine was out of the world. With each step he took, my chest brushed against his, and I felt the jolt of his hard member pressing against my thigh.His pounding heartbeat was like music to my ears.Apart from his clenched jaw and hard-on, it was the only evidence that he wanted me as much as I did him.Placing me at the edge

Six pairs of eyes stared at the projected image in Miguel's study. "So..." He broke the silence, crossing his legs as he leaned back in his swivel chair. "Where's the boy?"He was surprised to hear that Jacob was also here because of the same orphanage they'd been trying to get information about. Even more when he found out that he grew up there.Everyone had hurriedly finished up their meal in anticipation. If the child truly was in the picture, it would mean they were halfway through their plan.But staring at it now, they all realised they had forgotten something important.How do they recognise him?Jacob sighed, leaning off the corner of the wall he had been attached to since they filed into the study. He moved closer to the projected image, "I don't know.""You don't know?" Miguel repeated, expecting the young man to rephrase his words. What kind of half-baked plan was this?He turned to his son-in-law, "Is this what we were eager to see? An unclear lead? No me digas que sobre

Cara's brows furrowed as she stared at the image.She stared again.And stared some more. It was enough to drill a hole into it but not to convince her. She looked at Adonis with wide, unbelieving eyes. "Are you saying that scrawny boy with a mischievous smirk is Death Eater?" she asked, incredulous. Adonis didn't answer immediately. His gaze was fixed on the photo, on Matthew's face. The resemblance was faint, yet he saw it… the way he curled off his lips, the scar he had seen before, last night, in the ring. "Yes," he said finally, his voice low. "Who's Death Eater?" Cecelia voiced out curiously."He's a fighter at an illegal underground ring," Miguel answered, intently viewing the image. He pulled open a desk in his hardwood table and brought out a pair of glasses. "Go zoom in. I want a closer look." The guard didn't need any extra words to know he was being referred to as his boss donned on his glasses.Cara was shocked. "Dad? You know Death Eater, too?""I know everyone and

"Why am I here when you're the one undergoing the tests?" Cara sighed as she watched her husband change into the given hospital robe."You orchestrated it," he replied, throwing on the cloth. "This is your punishment."She leaned back, watching the as it fell over his toned legs. "Well, I'm not complaining," A satisfied purr slipping from her lips, as she closed the distance between them with a deliberate sway of her hips. Her hand caught the hem just before it fell completely, the other slipping under to caress his well-sculpted abs. "I get to see this." Adonis stiffened as she moved downwards, brushing over his thigh, dangerously close to his member, "and this." She pressed."Stop teasing me, Bel," he growled, his voice suddenly husky as he pulled her closer."Me? That's a false alarm. I would never do that to you.""You spoilt brat!" He grabbed both of her hands above her head, pushing her against the wall and, without warning, crashed lips against hers, hard and fast."I..." He

Cara's POV The line rang once, twice, and then he picked up."Hello?" "Cara?" Dr. Bruno's calm voice came through the phone, yet I wasn't deceived. I knew it was a situation control skill; he wouldn't have sent me the text if this wasn't serious."I missed your call... you said to call ASAP. Are the test results fine? Is anything wrong?""Nothing much... all is fine. He has a mild fever, and some muscles seem to be functioning below optimum; from his hormone levels, I believe he's a little stressed. Does he get tired easily?"I thought back on the last few days, "He rarely sleeps... an hour or three max. Could that be the reason?"I had thought it was due to all that was going on.Dr. Bruno sighed, "Can I talk to someone else? Adonis preferably, or another family member?"My heart skipped a beat. What is he trying to say?"You know Adonis wouldn't care to listen. He has no one else but me. You can say it." I sat on the bed. "Just tell me. I'm ready.""I think it's better if we see

Cara POV"I am going to kill Bruno." Was the first thing I heard as I blinked my eyes open."Is he crazy? She's pregnant! How could he deliver such news to her over the phone—at all even!" I heard my husband growl in anger. He paused for a while, then spoke again."I don't know what he said. Cecelia said the only thing Cara said before passing out was, 'Adonis is sick.'" He paused again. "I don't know! I do not feel sick. I am perfectly healthy, Luca."Oh... Luca was on the other end. He must've said something touchy because the next thing that came out of Adonis's mouth was a string of curse words."I don't care what anyone says or does. If you see Bruno, tell him to stay away from me because I will break his legs."Seeing as I'd heard enough threats for one day, I decided to announce my consciousness."If you do that, it'll be hard for him to perform surgery on you."Adonis's head turned so fast that I feared he might get a whiplash. He hung up the call, stalking towards me."What

Cara's POVSilence hung heavily in the room, the thick smell of antiseptic, suffocating despite being in an office. The leather chair felt as cold as the diagnosis made me feel as my husband and I took in Doctor Bruno's last words to us. Our lives felt like a labyrinth of chaos; with every step we took forward, there was more trouble waiting to jump in our faces.It seemed like there was no end to this.Adonis's sickness seemed too convenient, just like the other unplanned and unforeseen problems. One after another. Yet I couldn't show how I was feeling. I was always the dramatic one—the one amongst us who couldn't hide her emotions and would display exactly how it was, leaning on my man's broad shoulders.Not this time. Adonis did his best to hide it, but I could see how shaken he was about losing his memory. He had taken the crown from me. It was my turn to be there for him and support him as he always did me. It was like wearing his suit, too large and heavy, but necessary.I sup

Cara's POV"So we do not just live for today..." Adonis said, rounding up his speech, "We live for tomorrow, too. People say do not be stuck in the past; we're not. We're just bringing a part of it that we never want to forget." He placed his hand against his heart, the raw pain in his eyes betraying his composed self. "My brother would forever be remembered for his tenacity and courage in the face of trouble. He made this happen." He gestured all around, referring to our family. "And that's why I'll step down with one last word." Adonis's eyes met mine, and I gave him a smile of encouragement. This was the moment—the highlight of his speech. The words we'd been practising for days. He was going to say them..."I love you, Luca Romano. Rest on."The atmosphere was sober, not tearful as I expected, but at the same time, we've all shed a handful of tears during the last few weeks; I didn't think anyone had more in stock.Weeks had passed since the raid, and now, under the Italian sun,

As soon as they filed out of the study, the guard waited till he heard the elevator ding close before slipping out. He immediately dialled Luca's line."Hello? Are you here already? Hold up, I'll meet you at the reception.""No! The mansion is being raided. Diavolo..."Luca, who was already walking out of the waiting room, halted. Oh shit... what perfect timing!"What's going on there?"The guard proceeded to fill him in on everything he had heard, and Luca patiently took them in, some familiar, some new."What did they mean by transfer of ownership?""I do not know. But I think whatever it is, it has to do with Sarah, and they're going to kill her. He already instructed that all the men in the house be killed. What do we do, boss?"That was a question Luca wanted to ask himself. He never noticed any transfer. They were cornered, and walking into that house without a plan was suicide.He glanced back at Miguel, who was whispering harshly over the phone. He had been doing that for a w
Revenge: Submitting To The Mafia King The Final Battle IV
Cara's POV As soon as the words left my mouth, all necessary documents were brought to me, and Adonis was wheeled off.Standing in the waiting room while I nearly ran out of my mind felt like a luxury with everything that was going on, and I was somewhat grateful for that.I needed to get to my father, but my phone was broken. Reaching into the bag on the sofa, I pulled out Adonis's phone, which I had intentionally hidden and lied that we left at home, immediately dialling his number.First ring. Second ring. Third ring.The call didn't connect. Who then sent the text that Adonis saw? Perhaps...My finger pressed on his contacts, scrolling through until I settled on the one I had an inkling about. The first ring didn't even complete as the receiver picked up the call."Freddie. What the f*ck is going on? What did you say about Luca?""Cara? Dio, siamo fottuti (god, we're screwed). I don't know what to do." He cried, sending a pang through my heart, but I cleared my throat."What do
Revenge: Submitting To The Mafia King The Final Battle III
Cara's POV"Any news?"Frustrated, I clenched the fabric of my gown to control myself from snapping at my stressor of a husband, gritting out between clenched teeth."No." He stared at me for a second more before turning his face the other way.I began a mental countdown.Three, two, one—"Shouldn't they have reached out by now?""No. No, they shouldn't have." I replied with a tight smile. "It's been barely an hour since they left." "Just an hour?" Adonis breathed heavily, showing how weaker he was getting by the minute. "It feels longer." Yeah. Definitely weaker. The normal Adonis wasn't this talkative."It wouldn't feel that way if you stopped asking. You've asked five times since they left. The phone is on the table." I gestured to my device, which I had placed on a desk I had dragged between the sofa and the bed to prove to him that I wasn't hiding anything when he asked the second time."Look at it. The moment it beeps, you'd know." "Yeah, I would." He murmured. "I just feel

Cara's POVAdonis and I paused, staring at their wide eyes—well, Luca's. The atmosphere immediately switched into one of urgency. "For heaven's sake! Why did he choose to attack now?" I cried out."Because we're occupied at the moment? What better time to strike the sheep than when the shepherd is away?" "What did the men say?""He has over two hundred men with him, and they're heavily armed. I believe it's a takeover. About fifty were ours.""The takeover we've been expecting." My father clarified and I gave him a pointed stare."But everything is set right?""Everything but Adrian's sample.""That shouldn't be a problem, I'll find a way to get close to him and snip one." Luca offered."That isn't necessary. I already did."We all paused, staring at Adonis in surprise. "You... did? When?""Just before I collapsed, remember I fell on him?""Dude... you're crazy," His second-in-command commented. "Hmm... you're very competent." My father supported. "That's settled then. We should le

Cara's POV"Cara." I jerked awake at the sound of my name, blinking away the sleep in my eyes. "You can see him now." Doctor Bruno said. Exhaustion displayed across his face, showing how draining the last few hours had been."He's awake?" I rasped, stifling a yawn. My entire body felt sore from sleeping on the chair.How many hours had it been?Eyeing the big clock on the wall—5am. Thirty-one hours. Sun rays were beginning to stream in from outside lighting up the hallway. This was the second sunrise since Adonis had his...I sighed, pulling myself up when I noticed something odd. Before sleep finally claimed me last night, I was sure there were two men passed out on the chair opposite me. Now I could see just one.My brows knitted in a frown, "Where's my father?""He left to get a cup of coffee. He woke up a while ago." Doctor Bruno replied. My eyes darted to Luca, who still had his head bent, eyes closed, and arms folded over his chest. From the weird position he was in and the

Cara's POVAll through the drive to the hospital, I couldn't stop imagining the what-ifs.What if his case had worsened? What if his case was already beyond the point of recovery? What if he doesn't regain consciousness at all?I didn't know what to expect, and the fact in itself was sickening. Literally speaking.At the hospital, we found my father and Doctor Bruno talking at the reception and were immediately escorted to Adonis's room."What happened? He was fine before I left." I asked, my eyes zeroed in on my husband's unconscious form. "I don't understand either. We stood up to see Diavolo out when fluid suddenly began to leak from his nostrils—My face contorted, "Excuse me, what? Fluid?""I wouldn't say it was sudden. The fluid is from his brain. I believe there's a leak somewhere." Doctor Bruno cut in, "Remember, we have left this untreated for long, so adverse effects like this are bound to occur."My heart skipped a beat. At the end of the day, it was due to Adonis's stub
Revenge: Submitting To The Mafia King The Warning
"To warn you." Was all Cara said, but those three words were enough to get his full attention if it was still divided. "Diavolo's at my father's." Luca leaned forward, clasping his hands in concentration. "The time has come then?" "Yes, it has." She confirmed. Both were speaking in parables... half words. Despite not using complete sentences, they understood each other. "I'm surprised Adonis let you leave the house at all." "He didn't have a choice. My presence there would only cause chaos. It was better for me to be away, believe me." "Still, you could've sent someone. It's not safe for you to be moving around unprotected. Adrian had recruited a lot of people. The threat would be too overwhelming for a mere dozen guards." "I don't have a dozen and have you forgotten what I said?" Cara stressed. "I needed to warn you." "Yeah. From what? Adonis couldn't come himself to do so?" He scoffed, rising to his feet to get his pills. One of the few things he was gratefu

She used to be the only reason I looked forward to working at the restaurant... one of the sources of my rarely enjoyed happiness. Now she was... different.She gave me a once-over, her face scrunched up like she was disgusted. "You look fat... I must say. And how is life treating you, now that your rich husband is not so rich? Did you think all your problems would go away when you married him?" Tina laughed mockingly.I eyed her outfit, composed of the latest pieces of Louis Vuitton from her head down to her feet. "Are you sure you're not projecting yourself on me?""Excuse me?""You're the one who changed because you
