Stolen by the Mafia King Chapter 194: 'Our Families Are Vastly Different'
[Juliette's POV]And he lifted his hips slightly to ram in harder. Another grunt of his pleasure filled my ears. The ecstasy rippling through me pushed me higher. ‘I’m close!’ I squealed tinily. ‘Stay with me, babe—,’ he growled and wriggled—. ‘Oh fuck!’ His desire grew even bigger, pushing and stretching me even more, keeping the ripples ringing under my hot, damp skin. ‘Ralph… don’t… I can’t—.’ And his face was above me, his forehead wet, his bangs sticky, his eyes glowing with the fire of his passion, and his moist breath as pulling me towards his parted lips. I took them and kissed him hard, as he moved fast and vigorously, slamming into me again and again. Pleasure was filling me up dangerously to the edge, threatening to spill—. And I screamed his name into his mouth, as his tongue swept around mine carelessly, over and over, mimicking the rhythm of his growing strength. I climaxed hard—but he seemed to love it even more and continued plunging, striking the same spot over

[Juliette’s POV]Everyone said that I’ve got Papa’s eyes. The Lux purple eyes. A symbol of the gift that runs only in the Lux family line. Only the head of the Lux family inherits this gift, which makes me the head of the Lux family when Papa retires. Ever since I was born, I’ve been training for the day I take over as the new head of the Lux family. And yet…. As my eyes traced down the outline of my gown, I kept feeling a sense of deja vu as memories kept pouring in, flooding my mind, pumping my heart. A year ago, today, I was right here in front of a mirror, admiring my dream gown, about to go to my wedding to my enemy. Today, I’m still admiring my gown, about to go to my first wedding anniversary with my loving husband. Ralph and I found love in each other, despite us wanting to squeeze each other’s throats at first. I wished Papa could see us now. He’d be delighted. Papa always wanted the two families to unite. Didn’t he always say that it’s better to have another friend th

[Juliette’s POV]Something inside me knows what’s happening. As though I had been trained for this day. Trained by Papa. My heels clicked furiously as I hurried towards the two plain clothes policemen who were showing their badges to Ralph.No… No, no, no, no…. Not right now. This can’t be it. Glares. I could feel their fire on my back, burning me alive. The Virtus resentment. I could sense my own kind staring back with contempt. Pin dropped silence as one of the guys removed his badge and flashed the document at Ralph’s face. The warrant for arrest. And the silver cuffs appeared. ‘You’re under arrest, Mr. Ralph Virtus, for extortion and blackmail.’ A silver cuff snapped around Ralph’s wrist as he stared stupefied. ‘You have the right to remain silent—,’ added the other cop. ‘NO!’ I cried, my hand shot out to stop the other cuff from taking another wrist. ‘You can’t do this! You’ve made a terrible mistake!’ I tried to yank the cuff away. ‘Stop this!’ But the officer with the

[Juliette’s POV]‘So Dr. Rose lied too when she told me last week that Papa made no improvement,’ I said quietly, staring out the window at the shophouses that were far away from the hotel. ‘She had to,’ Uncle Jerry replied mechanically. ‘She wanted so much to share the good news with you, but I insisted that we stick to the plan.’ I swallowed my tears and forced a smile. ‘Thank goodness she did.’ ‘I knew you'd catch up fast.’ A warm hand patted my shoulder. ‘So the divorce papers that Ralph and I signed were legitimate,’ I repeated in my usual business tone. ‘The opportunity presented itself. So I took it.’ His hand left my shoulder as he sank back against the expensive leather. ‘I had to give you an exit by the time he wakes.’ ‘And this is also part of my father’s plan.’ ‘Brilliant, isn’t it?’ he chuckled. Uncle Jerry’s laugh used to be like the encouragement of a brand new day, the cheerful warmth of the morning sun. Now, that same laugh felt disgusting. Something rumbled

[Ralph’s POV]‘Everything will go away like a breeze,’ said the business king, his friendly chuckle slithered across the metal desk of the interrogation room. Declare myself bankrupt. And with that, Lux Corp will be free from me. I sign this, and I’m the Virtus monster that had stolen from a coma patient and forced his daughter to marry me; that I forced myself on her to get an heir; that I’m no better than a fucking rapist. Sign this, and my connection with Juliette—or the Lux line—will be gone forever. I was gripping the metal arm of the chair so hard, my fingernails were white and shaking with immense rage. All those years of hard work. All the pain, the constant anxiety and agony that I’ve endured from my selfish brothers, my father the Demon, and then the greedy cold-blooded assholes of the Second Tiers. I looked up and the unmistakable sly glint in those old eyes met my gaze. As though telling me: the Virtus gift was nothing—you are nothing. Fingernails sank deeper into my

[Harold’s POV]The second he opened his eyes, he smiled. He had never felt such elation. What do they call it? Rebirth. Yes. Kids nowadays are into this thing: I was reborn as so and so…. Well, he was reborn back to himself—but better. Without his whorish wife to take half his fortune and her fuck boy to steal from him, he was free to continue his plans. His body was weaker than before, but that didn’t matter. He has Jerry. Good ol’ Jerry has proven to be more loyal than he promised. ‘You trained her well,’ said the old friend, with satisfaction and pride in his tone. Ah, there’s his daughter. The one with the gift. The Lux gift. Those sickening purple eyes that looked like her mother’s. He smiled at the photo of her kissing that filth in the middle of the streets, in front of the row of shophouses that had just been rightfully returned to him. ‘You think so?’ Harold Lux returned the phone to his old pal and exhaled, sinking into the leather seat of the back of his limo.

[Juliette’s POV]Papa was already at the dining area when I arrived. Immediately, I rushed to his side and knelt beside his wheelchair. ‘Good morning, Papa, did you sleep well?’ I checked his face for any signs of upset. There was none. With his usual smile, his hand patted the back of my head as his old voice said, ‘I’ve slept for months, my child.’ Guilt exploded inside me. Staring at his face, I can’t help chastising myself for asking the stupid question. And that smile widened comfortingly. ‘Surprisingly, it was the best sleep I’ve had.’ ‘W-Was it? That’s good! I was afraid that you might—-.’ ‘Die in my sleep?’ he asked, in a testing tone, those hawk eyes evaluating my face. Bafflement hardened my features. ‘I-Is that what Doctor Rose said?’ I whispered, half worried that he would, the other half fearing for my baby’s life. And a weak, old hand patted mine as a light chuckle slipped into the air, finally loosening the tension. ‘I was jesting. Doctor Rose said that I’ll onl

[Juliette’s POV]Trust no one. Not now. Holding my tummy, I said, finally retrieving my confidence, ‘I don’t need a doctor. But I need help to get to the office.’ I opened the door and Janet quickly grabbed my elbow to lend me some of her strength. ‘I’ll get the doctor on the conference call, Miss Lux.’ I waved my hand to reject it. ‘Just get me a water bath for my feet. Warm water, please,’ I whispered, moving to the sinks. ‘But Agatha said—.’I glared at her in the mirror. ‘Would you like to be her PA then?’ Immediately, Janet swallowed her protests and nodded. ‘Water bath. Sure. But hot water, Miss Lux. Hot water is better for migraines. You have to trust me on that.’ We’ll see about that, I thought as I wiped my mouth with a towel and scoffed. ‘Fine. Where’s Jerry?’ ‘He left. To find Mister Lux. Something about a meeting with the board members.’ Panic seized me. ‘A meeting about what? Did he say?’ The new PA caught on quickly. ‘I’ll find out asap.’ She took my arm once m

[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

[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

[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

[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

[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
