Stolen by the Mafia King Chapter 146: "Because your father wouldn't allow it"
[Juliette's POV]Five days later …."But the guy's from Harvard!" I exclaimed in disbelief. "That's not qualification then I don't know what is."Ben sighed. "Director Filipo's words were 'so why is a Harvard graduate doing with us instead of Lux Corp?'"I grabbed my forehead in exasperation. "Jesus Christ…. I didn't go to him. He came to us! He applied for the position. He's from the list that you gave me!" What the hell is wrong with these Virtus idiots?! This is the sixth director asking for a change of PA. The first one was 'too goody two shoes'. The second one was 'too scholarly'. The third one 'looked like a boiled cabbage'. The fourth is 'an asshole', and the fifth 'a smartypants'. I kneaded my forehead. "Seriously, Ben. They are the best amongst the lot." Another helpless sigh came through. "Maybe if we told them that Ralph—.""No!" I quickly rebutted. "Let me handle this. Please.""What are you gonna do?" "I'll make a spreadsheet. A list of all the candidates. And give a
Stolen by the Mafia King Chapter 147: "I never kid about you, kitten."
[Juliette’s POV]So Monsieur altered the dress as I was doing hair and make-up. By the time I was ready to put on the star of his latest collection—a wedding gown that resembled the majestic grace of a waterfall of stars—he had trimmed the hem, tightened the waist, and released the plunging neckline. The result was a gown that snuggles comfortably around my bodice like a camisole, with soft, almost translucent fabric cascading from my waist. As the stylist gave the dress one last check, I looked at myself in the mirror, and my breath was taken away. Monsieur’s dresses are really a work of art: I look like some goddess in a dress sewn out of stars and mist, and a magical waterfall. When I stepped out of the dressing area into the light, everyone was staring in disbelief. “Purrfect…,” Monsieur whispered in awe. “Zis is my vision….” He gave me a light hug and pulled back. “You realised my vision, Juliette!” My lips were quivering as I spread them into a confident smile. Inside, it
Stolen by the Mafia King Chapter 148: "He needs to hear it."
[Jewel’s POV] “Stop this car at once!” Jewel screamed on top of her lungs, tugging and pushing the door handle as though she wanted to unhinge it. She's that desperate. She can't leave just like this! She can't leave Ralph with the conclusion that she sabotaged his plans on purpose—she didn't! Okay. So she has problems with punctuality. She hadn't been on time for all rehearsals. But that means nothing! Ruining the fashion show was never her intention! Why would she? Her livelihood now depends on it. Ralph is wrong about her! Jewel would never sabotage the show for that bitch Juliette. No, that bitch isn't even worth it. The feisty Virtus Director unlocked the door for the tenth time. And swiftly after she did, the maniac driver, Ralph's second right hand man, locked it for the eleventh time. "ARGH!!!" The Director bellowed like a crazed lioness, shaking the door in raw fury. "Take me back to the show, you piece of filth! You'll pay for this, I swear!" "The CEO's orders
Stolen by the Mafia King Chapter 149: "I can't look at a couch again"
[Juliette’s POV] The walls to the presidential suite are soundproof—extremely. And Ralph knows about it really well. “What was it you wanted to ask me, kitten…?” he breathed, blowing his warm breath against the bud of my clit. "W-What…?" I swallowed and inhaled sharply. What did I want to ask—I… I can’t remember—mmph! A shiver of heightened anticipation shot up my back. A tiny whimper slipped through my lips. My trembling lips, threatening to part and let out a moan of delight, but I wouldn’t let it. It’s embarrassing enough to have my thighs spread this wide—I could feel the plush back cushion of the couch against my knees. It’s even more embarrassing to feel his fingers spreading my wet folds and seeing his face buried deep between my thighs and feeling all his features pressing against my most vulnerable spot. Embarrassing and fucking hot at the same time. “Kitten…,” he breathed again in a warning tone, this time his lips came upon the swelling bud of my desires.
Stolen by the Mafia King Chapter 150: "No one saw her. Not even the hotel manager."
[Juliette’s POV] One week later…. I smiled and waved at the limousine cruising off to the distance, whisking my husband to Lux Corp. Once it was out of sight, I whipped out my phone and dialled Ben’s number. He answered in a ring. “Are you sure about this?” the English-accented voice asked for the hundredth time since yesterday. “Yes, Ben.” I rolled my eyes at Margaret who shook her head with a kind smile. He’s like a woman, I mouthed at Margaret, and she chuckled. “Alright, alright. I’m coming over right now. See you in thirty.” And the call disconnected. I removed my phone from my ear as Margaret asked with a concerned knit of her brows. “What if the Don asked, Madam? I can’t lie to him.” “Then tell him the truth.” I turned around and hastened up the steps—and Margaret followed closely behind me. “I don’t want you to lose your job over this, Marge. I mean it.” “The Don will still fire me for not stopping you.” Our heels clicked across the large hallway. “Then I’ll
Stolen by the Mafia King Chapter 151: "They won't be expecting me, alone."
[Juliette’s POV]The dark silver BMW shot through the road towards the abandoned jetty. “Are you sure that Jewel’s out there?” Ben glared ahead, both hands tightly gripping the wheel. “I’m not sure. But if I just wanted money, I’d want people to know that she’s missing, right?” I looked away from the buildings reeling past my window. “Jewel.” Ben exhaled, his mouth in a grim line of agreement. “So if I went through such great lengths to make sure no one knows she’s gone, yet I still want to be sure she’s within my reach, and given that she’s a Virtus, where else can I keep her out of everyone’s sight but mine?” “Fuck me.” Ben inhaled sharply. “I really hope you’re right, Juliette.” “How’s Alfeo’s finances?’ Ben looked at me as though I’d just asked him if he’d slept with Jewel. So I leaned in to explain in detail. “The hotel. The plane ticket. The ship that he’s possibly using to hide her. These aren’t cheap, Ben. It’ll be helpful to know if he could do all this alone.” After
Stolen by the Mafia King Chapter 152: "Give me a good explanation why my wife is out in the sea."
[Juliette’s POV] Didn’t take long for them to find me. But I can’t make it easy for them. Or they’ll know. They’ll know that Ben is coming back with help. I swam on. I worried that the boat might ram into me. I might get a head concussion and die. Or worse, lose my memory… and forget Ralph. Even so, I kept pushing through the currents. Moving my arms and legs. Is this how Ralph felt back then? Trying so hard, doing whatever he could, just to move forward by an inch. Even if it was less than an inch, he kept moving, going, trudging on, pushing forward. A strong shove on my back. And then, four strong arms came around my waist and underarms, and I was hauled up—fresh air rushed into my lungs and then—. ‘The Don’s wife!’ A rough voice shouted. ‘It’s Don Ralph’s wife!’ ‘Goddamn it!’ My wrists were pressed together. ‘We need to get to the boss asap!’ A cable tie came around my skin. Then, a soft zipping sound and my hands were bound. Tightly. This is it. ***** [Ben’s POV] As
Stolen by the Mafia King Chapter 153: 'Who should I taste?'
[Ralph's POV] I stood in front of the speedboat, and in a flash, guns were out, their barrels shining under the early noon sun. They know who I am. And they are worried and scared. Yet they still point their weapons at me. They must've sensed a threat equal to mine. I've underestimated Alfeo. I should've known better than to mess with his daughter. I could've just gotten that girl with me on this trip, have her convince her father to let Juliette go. But I can't have that fifteen year old see this. It's already tough having a father who sells drugs for a living. She deserves the peaceful normal life she has now. I stared at the black circles in front of the anxious faces. 'I know you're being forced into this. I won't take this to heart.' I raised both hands and flashed my palms to show that I'm unarmed. 'Take me to your boss and you have my word, you'll stay alive after this. And you'll get a normal job with the family.' The two men on the boat and the other four men s

[Chatri’s POV]The EMERGENCY sign was still lit up. Chatri couldn’t tear his gaze away from it, making sure the light doesn’t go out Across him, seated on the row of plastic chairs, nestled safely between his wife and his mother, his precious fourteen-year-old daughter was praying hard for her saviour too. It was near his heart. Guilt burned the back of her eyes. Ralph-kun… I blamed you for destroying the peace that we’ve paid with our blood and sweat to get. Yet, you did not leave me alone. You fought by my side. You kept your word. With your life. Is this the root of your men’s loyalty? Three hours ago, when they got to the van, her daughter was a crying mess, her almost naked body would have been in full display if it weren’t for that bloodied jacket. Ralph Virtus was sprawled at the van’s entrance, hanging on by a thread. Chatri had to get in the chopper. Footsteps snapped him back to the silent hallway. The ex-mob leader turned to them and Ralph-kun’s right-hand man was mo
Stolen by the Mafia King Chapter 229: A New Family Feud
[Juliette’s POV]“My father has brought us to the next level—there’s no doubt about it. But as you can see, the charts do not lie. Lux Corp will not survive the casino’s first quarter if we sit back and do nothing.”I gazed firmly around the room. These so-called shareholders of Lux Corp. I need to break their resistance and knock some sense back into them. The oldest one of the group cleared his throat and muttered in a haughty slow pace, “So what you’re saying is: remove Harold Lux as Chairman and put you in charge.” Another guy quickly added, “We don’t do this sort of thing.” Then, the third man snorted in derision. “I’m actually surprised that you gathered all of us here today without the Chairman. If he gets wind of this—.” “He won’t if none of us talk about it,” I snapped, frustration in my throat. What’s with the surprised looks and frowns of disapproval? Aren’t they as much of a businessman as Papa? Can’t they see the signs? The fucking obvious signs! Suddenly, Papa’s de
Stolen by the Mafia King Chapter 228: Milo Virtus
[Sarah’s POV]She can’t believe it. The unbeatable, ever invincible Don Ralph—the monster in the devil skin; a heartless murderer with the killer sense of an Olympic shooter; king of the world’s most ferocious mafia groups—is completely useless against an infant that’s less than an hour’s old. If it weren’t for Sarah’s fierce insistence and fearsome glare, he wouldn’t even hold his own child. ‘What if I break his neck?’ whispered the poor man, his eyes unable to stray from the tiny creature in his frozen arms. ‘Stop it,’ snapped the caretaker. ‘Sway gently, and you’ll be fine.’ She glanced at the bed and Juliette, who was sleeping soundly, and then back at the man, who would probably feel as though he’s on top of the world right now. Is he going to cry? ‘So what’s his name?’ asked Sarah, swiftly diverting those tears from crystalising. Without looking up, he muttered, ‘Milo.’ Then, he glanced at his sleeping wife and a proud smile appeared. ‘Milo Virtus. The first of the many.’
Stolen by the Mafia King Chapter 227: The True CEO of Lux Corp
[Juliette’s POV]‘I am not selling anything.’ Papa’s eyes were filled with so much distaste, I felt ashamed for calling myself his heir. ‘I’m surprised that I have to remind you of the rules now. You wanted a vacation, and I gave you one. Now, you can’t even remember the simplest thing.’ My mouth opened, my explanation ready like a debate team, but I clamped my lips tight. He doesn’t want to hear anything right now. Right now, he only wants to vent. We’re losing money fast since twenty of our suppliers had suddenly asked for a price review.‘I do remember them, Papa,’ I murmured sourly. ‘Then why are you even suggesting that we sell off our least money-making businesses?’ he demanded angrily. Because that could stop more money from going out! My mind was screaming like a child being blamed for something that she didn’t do. Isn’t it common sense? When things get rough, tighten your pockets! Or is this yet another test? But I’m so done with all the tests! With the baby about to co
Stolen by the Mafia King Chapter 226: 'Kill Them All'
[Harold’s POV]SLAM!The sixty-ish fist slammed on the antique desk with the strength of a forty-year-old boxer. Even in his experience, there’s a limit to how much he can take. How did this happen? How did it slip by him unnoticed? The casino. He’d lost track. Damn his old man’s genes. They’re so useless, they made him useless as well. ‘You had no problems with the price for decades. Now, out of the blue you want—not one percent, not two—but a three percent hike?’ His knuckles were paling, bearing all the rage which only kept spiking. The calm voice at the other end of the phone irked Harold further. ‘My apologies, Mr. Lux. But you know how this works—we can’t hold down the price for any longer,’ replied the thirteenth supplier. ‘It’s been three decades since our last review. We hope you understand.’ Everyone wants his understanding. What about theirs? He’s cash strapped! Whose fault is it? If he didn’t build the casino for these bloodsuckers, he wouldn’t be stuck! If they weren’t
Stolen by the Mafia King Chapter 225: 'Papa is The Threat.'
[Juliette’s POV]And then it crashed onto me. Like a boulder. I observed those golden swirls in his eyes burning with hurt and that hurt clenched my chest. Utensils down and my mouth wiped, I reached across the table and covered his hand with mine. ‘Growing up, I imagine the Virtuses as cold-blooded monsters,’ I began. Those brown irises dilated with fury, and I slipped my fingers through that large hand and rubbed my skin against his to calm the fire. ‘Because of all the stories I’ve been fed—we’ve all been fed.’ To his tensed jaw, I muttered softly, ‘I must speak for everyone, Ralph.’ ‘You’re not telling me that your father was fed the same story. He came to me with the aim of stealing my family’s land, Juliette.’ ‘I’m not saying—.’ ‘Stop defending him!’ Ralph jerked his hand out of my grasp, fuming. But his eyes never left me, which was a good sign. So immediately, I leaned forward and pleaded, ‘I’m not defending him.’ ‘Then what the fuck are you doing?’ ‘I’m trying to te
Stolen by the Mafia King Chapter 224: The Heiress' Worries & The King's Dilemma
[Juliette’s POV]I smiled at the man gently resting his hand on my belly, so careful, so timidly, I almost couldn’t recognise him. Is this Ralph Virtus, the Mafia King? The one whom everyone calls The Devil? The handsome beast with the wits of a chess master. Those cold, fierce eyes were filled with so much fear that I wanted to hug him and squeeze those bad thoughts out of him. Those same golden brown eyes now widened in amazement as they swung up to me. ‘It moved.’ I chuckled and covered his hand with mine. ‘Of course it does, silly.’ He gazed at my stomach, his pupils dilating some more. ‘It’s kicking.’ He looked up, worried. ‘Does it hurt?’ I shook my head. ‘My chest just feels tight when it happens.’ Then, his ears were on my belly, listening intently. As amusing as it was watching his face change colour every second, I can’t help but worry that the next second something will happen to destroy this peaceful moment. As though he read my thoughts, his attention was back on
Stolen by the Mafia King Chapter 223: 'If Only You Knew...'
[Ralph’s POV]‘D…Did you just—I knew it.’ Her eyes were shaking with such low confidence, I almost couldn’t recognise them. ‘You find me annoying now….’ Her hands slid off my chest in defeat. Is this what a baby does to a woman? ‘I did not say that.’ As soon as I heard my voice, I froze again. Shit—that was cold. Quick—correct it. ‘I mean—I don’t mean what I said.’ I tried to grab her hand but missed it. ‘Juliette….’ Her shoulders were shaking too. ‘Jesus… you’re not crying now, are you?’ What? No. That came out wrong again. What the fuck is wrong with me? She spun around in full rage. With tears gushing down her steamed face, she jabbed a finger at my shoulder. ‘YES! I’m crying like a clingy pathetic woman! And whose fault is it? Who put this thing inside me?!’ She pointed at her round belly protruding proudly through her skirt. “WHO?!”I laughed. It was unplanned. Before I knew it, I was already holding my waist to steady myself. My shoulders were shaking, my chest was rumbli
Stolen by the Mafia King Chapter 222: 'A King Doesn't Rule Alone'
[Ralph’s POV]I blinked at the Hong Kong mob leader and his voice returned. ‘... do you think?’ What were we discussing? Something that reminded me of Juliette and the baby. Of my fears. Of the baby dying inside Juliette’s stomach… or Juliette dying with the baby—yes. We were talking about that old fox and his shady business. My finger stopped tapping. ‘I’m closing all of it down.’ ‘No offence, nong Ralph.’ The Thai leader burst through. ‘My elders love khun Lux. It won’t be easy to shut them down.’ Chinh was frowning too. ‘You close down one, another will pop up. Who’ll say no to money?’‘Money and power,’ mumbled Andrei. ‘I’ve told you before. Harold Lux is well-connected. I can’t have the boys going against me. There are many who’ll have my head and you said that you’ll handle it. So all I have to do is focus on protecting my family from the ollies.’ ‘And this doesn’t change that,’ I repeated firmly. ‘I failed to see how,’ muttered the cool and collected Isamu. ‘Harold-san gi
