THE DARK SECRETS OF MAFIA DON Chapter 98 Can You Let Him Go?
Caleb never returned after leaving the private room – he waited in the hallway for the event to be over.Out of everyone who had been present that night, Arabella was the only one sober since she only drank milk.Although Daniel had quite a few sips of alcohol, he was not as drunk as the others. Other than his slightly flushed face, he was no different from an ordinary person.Since the event had ended, Caleb called a car for everyone while Serenity sent them off. Once the others had left, Caleb headed over to the parking lot to get a car for the trio.Arabella went back to the private room to escort Daniel out but was slightly stunned when she opened the door.Daniel had released the top two buttons of his shirt, revealing his honey-colored chest. One of his arms was stretched out on the back of the chair beside him. The laziness of his posture made him look sexy and charming as the light softened his usually cold demeanor.Perhaps it was because he was drunk, but his deep eyes were

Arabella usually had insomnia the first night she arrived at any foreign place. So on this very night in Konan City, she found herself half awake.Despite getting only a little sleep, Arabella woke up early the next morning. After washing up, she looked at the river from the balcony for a while. With the morning light reflecting off the wavy surface, the view sparkled with the sun’s rays.At seven o’clock, she took the elevator to the presidential suite and knocked on the door. Daniel was brushing his teeth when he opened the door upon hearing the knock.Arabella did not expect to be greeted by a Daniel still with foam in his mouth. Daniel, on the other hand, simply took a glance at her before turning back into the washroom.Dumbfounded, Arabella stood at the door for a few seconds before entering the room and following Daniel who was rinsing his mouth by now, wearing a black shirt, matching trousers, and custom-made Italian leather shoes.When he spat out the mouthwash, he was half-b

“President Garcia, Miss Rivera, are you hurt anywhere? Shall we go to the hospital?”Arabella looked at the place where the steel had fallen, shaken. Blood drained from her face and she quickly turned pale.Daniel grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the rest area with Willliam and the rest following behind. Then, he turned around and looked sternly at Arabella. “Are you hurt anywhere?”But Arabella was still in a daze as she looked back at him blankly, her red lips as pale as her face, almost transparent.Their clothes were stained with dust and they looked a little disheveled. Even their hair was covered in dust.Daniel’s deep eyes were filled with anger when he did not get a reply from Arabella. “Arabella, I’m asking you a question: Are you hurt anywhere?”Arabella’s gaze finally focused on his face and the lingering fear finally dawned on her as tears welled up in her eyes.Daniel was confused as his brows furrowed even more tightly. “Where are you hurt? Say something!”His low ro

The woman, on the other hand, looked bright and beautiful in a V-neck red dress. Her chestnut hair was styled and draped on one side while her makeup was exquisite, especially her gorgeous red lips.Arabella’s pupils constricted and her face turned pale as her long black eyelashes trembled slightly. She almost crushed the remote control in her hand.She rummaged for her phone from the bag beside her anxiously, but couldn’t find what she was looking for. Frustrated, she emptied her bag on the sofa and grabbed the phone to call a certain someone.After the phone rang for a minute, a sweet voice came from the other end. “The number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later.”Arabella glared at the couple shining so dazzlingly on the television, her hand still gripping her phone tightly. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to call another number.Serenity had just come out of the meeting room when her phone rang. She saw that it was Arabella so she picked up

Arabella woke up to the sound of television and sat up the moment she opened her eyes. But her mind still felt a little cloudy.An entertainment program just ended, followed by the most popular Korean drama, playing on the loudest volume.Daniel was taking his time with the meal at the dining table with his broad back facing her.She removed the hairband on her wrist, tied up her hand, slipped into the bedroom slippers, and walked to the dining room. “When did you come back?”Daniel looked up at her and casually said, “Do I have to tell you when I come back?”She let out a light cough and rubbed her flat stomach. As she watched him finish up the dishes, she pursed her lips and said, “I haven’t eaten yet…”Daniel was extremely hungry because he only had two scoops of his lunch earlier. His dark eyes were almost devoid of light as he coldly said, “I didn’t ask you to wait for me.”It must have been wishful thinking on her part, based on his indifference and coldness.Arabella was shocke

The atmosphere in the bar was high and exciting as the gorgeous lights flickered non-stop and the music played on deafeningly.In a booth, William and the rest were already slightly tipsy. Only Daniel was still sober. His shrewd and deep eyes seemed a little lost under the flickering lights.In the past few days, even Caleb had noticed Daniel’s restlessness which only appeared when the latter was greeted by a dark room every time he returned to the hotel.After four or five days, the restlessness turned into disappointment as if a piece of his heart had been hollowed out.He finished the wine in his glass in frustration and got up to take his coat. ’’You guys have fun. I’ll be leaving first.”He turned a deaf ear to the shouts of William and the others behind him and walked out of the bar. Caleb quickly followed him out. When Daniel returned to the hotel, he swiped open the door of the suite and saw that the lights in the living room were still on.Upon entering, he automatically star

Seeing that she was standing there without moving, Daniel said, “Get in the car. I’m in a hurry.”This was the first time he had spoken to her in the past few days. His unique voice was clear and slow, and it passed through her eardrums with tension.He was still wearing the classic three-piece suit, but today a black shirt was part of the combo. He had wide shoulders and a narrow waist, so he looked good no matter what color he wore.He looked elegant in white shirts, but the black shirt exuded a cold aura. It was as if anyone who approached him would fall into the abyss and be doomed forever.Caleb returned to the driver’s seat. Seeing that she had not gotten into the car yet, he said, “Arabella, please be quick. We’re in a hurry.”Arabella finally got into the car. As the car door closed, the air instantly felt suffocating.It wasn’t that Arabella didn’t feel the cold and indifferent aura coming from the man beside her. She just couldn’t figure out how she had made him unhappy.He

The sun was setting in the west, and the last ray of light on the horizon faded. The sky gradually darkened.Arabella stood in front of the window and looked at the tall sycamore trees outside. The cool night breeze blew in and she quickly realized that it was autumn already.The wind chimes hanging on the windowsill let out a faint ring with the wind. It was low as if it was telling a certain story.She didn’t know if it was because it was autumn or something else, but she actually felt a little cold.She took her phone and scrolled through the contact list. She found Calvin Galvez’s name and dialed his number.As soon as the call connected, she said, “I agree to marry you.”Her hoarse and slightly cold voice had an inexplicable sadness in this early autumn weather.She now accepted that she would never be able to escape fate. It was the same twenty-three years ago, and it was the same twenty-three years later. This was probably her fate.Calvin Galvez was drinking with a group of bu

THE DARK SECRETS OF MAFIA DON Chapter 179 Daniel Garcia's Dark Past
Daniel Garcia Past LifeDaniel Garcia lived his own life far from his brother after they separated from their parents. He tried so damn hard to be a good straight husband. The life he chose meant so much to him. He experienced the ultimate sin which made him aware of the remnants of his past. Together with his brother, he approached the only sparkling desire that he thought to be the answer to his dream. Daniel wanted a family of his own, but, fate was unkind to him.It may have been the alcohol or the high of knowing tomorrow he’d be closer to changing his life, but tonight, worse the wear for the beers he had downed in quick succession on an empty stomach, meant that for once, he wanted to be himself. So he stood here, in a gay bar on what the cab driver said was the wrong side of town. The bar had shadowed corners and the smell of sex in the air—he watched.He watched the man at the bar; saw him leaning back, veiled eyes scanning the heaving late-night crowd. He stood in sinfully
THE DARK SECRETS OF MAFIA DON Chapter 178 He Doesn’t Want to See Me
Arabella put her cutlery down too and indifferently said, “He just doesn’t want to see me. So no matter how much you cook, you won’t persuade him otherwise.”‘Didn’t you say that you didn’t want to see me? Why did you come back then?’She remembered every single word he said yesterday which lingered like thorns in her heart.Daniel’s expression turned colder when he heard her words. He walked away to pick up the car keys on the coffee table and grabbed his coat at the entrance.He must have used too much force because the hanger shook twice and almost fell to the ground.Daniel walked out and not long after, the sound of a car engine came from outside.Mrs. Winstead walked to the living room and saw Daniel driving away. She returned to the dining room with a gloomy expression. “Young Madam…”After Daniel left, Arabella lost her appetite so she stood up and walked towards the stairs.Mrs. Winstead looked on and sighed heavily. When Young Master had not been coming back over the past fe

He got up and walked towards the stairs. She followed closely behind him and the two headed up to the second floor one after another. When they reached the bedroom door, Daniel did not stop, continuing to walk towards the study room.Arabella grabbed his sleeve again and Daniel stopped in his tracks. He turned around to look at her expressionlessly.“What are you angry about?” She looked up and met his dark eyes.He looked back at her innocent eyes and the words that he wanted to ask became stuck in his throat. “Nothing,” said he calmly.“How can it be ‘nothing’? You haven’t been home for half a month.” Afraid he would shake her off, she tightened her grip on his sleeve which started to wrinkle.“It was a business trip,” said he curtly.“What about before the business trip? Furthermore, Caleb told me that it has been a few days since you returned from your business trip.”Well, the part about Caleb telling her so was a lie. But she felt no guilt implicating Daniel’s assistant since Ca
THE DARK SECRETS OF MAFIA DON Chapter 176 The Young Madam Hasn’t Come Home Yet
Arabella had been waiting in the parking lot of Zephyr Group since 4 p.m.Afraid that she would be seen by her colleagues, she chose to hide in an inconspicuous corner while keeping her eyes on Daniel’s car.One hour, two hours, three hours passed, but Daniel still did not appear.The sky gradually darkened and the lights in the parking lot were a little dim, making the place gloomy and cold.She wrapped her coat tightly around her body and crouched as if to curl herself into a ball. Since she stayed in that position for quite some time, her legs started to feel a little numb. She decided to stand and walk a few steps to return blood flow to her legs. After stretching for a while, she resumed her crouched position.With the night approaching, the cold in the dim parking lot grew heavier – Arabella started to shiver. She wanted to go home in a huff, but she was also unwilling to do so without having confronted Daniel.What right did he have to treat her like this?Even if he was angry,
THE DARK SECRETS OF MAFIA DON Chapter 175 He’s Still Thinking About You
When it was the day of the pregnancy checkup, Daniel had not returned from the business trip. She was already expecting to go to the hospital alone only to find someone else in the living room when she came downstairs.“Why are you here?” She looked at Francesca in surprise.“Young Madam, President Garcia asked me to accompany you to the hospital,” said Francesca gently.It seemed that he still remembered the date. Arabella nodded. “Let’s go.”Mrs. Winstead noticed how thin the clothes Arabella was wearing so the former handed the latter a red coat on the hanger at the entrance.How could Arabella refuse Mrs. Winstead’s kind intentions? The former took off her jacket and put on the coat. Then, Arabella grabbed her bag and left the living room with Francesca following behind her.Because Francesca had made an appointment in advance, they went straight to the hospital for the checkup. After a series of examinations, the doctor said, “The child is very healthy. It’s just that you must ha
THE DARK SECRETS OF MAFIA DON Chapter 174 Didn’t Go Home the Whole Night
The phone in his pocket rang. He took it out and saw that it was her calling. He threw the phone on the seat next to him. After a few seconds, the phone stopped ringing.He took out a cigarette and put it into his mouth. His phone rang again. He took a glimpse at it from the corner of his eye and saw that it was still from her.He let it ring and took out a lighter to light the cigarette. He rolled down the window and blew out smoke rings that were carried away by the night wind.When it rang for the third time, he pressed the reject button in frustration and turned off his phone. The night was quiet again.Arabella paced around the room in her pajamas, holding her phone in her hand. She had called Daniel many times, but his phone was eventually switched off.It was already two o’clock in the morning but she was also hesitant to call Caleb since it was too late in the night.She walked to the bed and sat waiting. Her phone was always in her hand, ready to pick up a call the moment it
THE DARK SECRETS OF MAFIA DON Chapter 173 She Had Fallen In Love With John
Master Samson took a single look at her before turning the other way, turning a deaf ear to her words.The pale yellow liquid in the medicine bag flowed down the white tube drop by drop into his bloodstream through the needle on the back of his hand.Arabella didn’t care about Master Samson’s attitude as she silently retreated to the side and stood there. Helena Turner patted her hand lightly, indicating to the former not to take it to heart.The attending doctor listened to Master Samson’s heartbeat with a stethoscope and wrote down a string of numbers in a folder. Then, Benjamin Rivera followed him out of the ward.Master Samson looked at Serenity who was sitting by the bed and holding his hand. “For the sake of your future with Eva, you should remarry John.”The old man had been trying to get Serenity and John back together after returning from Oakland, but his granddaughter had been avoiding him. Because of this, Master Samson had gotten so angry that he was hospitalized.“We won’

While Arabella was stunned for a moment, John took the tissue from her and carefully wiped the water off her sleeves. Then, he pulled out a small part of her inner sleeve over the sleeves of her windbreaker a little so that the wet parts would not stick to her skin.“Are you feeling better?” His clear voice was low and gentle.She pulled her hand back, still feeling the warmth of his fingertips on the skin of her wrist. “Much better.” After a pause, she said, “Thank you, President Grant.”The immediate distance she put between them simply from her words felt as if she had just stabbed John. He pursed his pale lips and difficultly said, “Arabella, we shouldn’t be like this.”“From the moment you decided to marry my Sis, we were already destined to end up like this.” She was unfazed.John held her shoulders and seriously said, “But you know-”“That won’t change the truth!” She interrupted him, though rather calmly which scared John a little.He could see the prideful stubbornness in her
THE DARK SECRETS OF MAFIA DON Chapter 171 A Rich Lady Is Just Different
She took a sip from the glass of water. Since they were already married, there would always be a chance for her to meet the aunt in the future.Still, since she was angry at him for acting on his own and Daniel was not someone who would admit his mistake or apologize first, the couple did not speak to each other for the rest of the day – they simply minded their own business and nonchalantly ignored each other.Daniel rested at home for a week before going back to work. Once he did, only Arabella and Mrs. Winstead were left at home.XXXOne day after lunch, Arabella drove to the cafe at which she had agreed to meet Sam.It had been a week since they last met and Sam seemed to have become a lot more dispirited. But when he saw her, his usual cheeky smile returned. “A rich lady is indeed different. I would never dare dream of driving a car like this in my entire life.”Indeed, Arabella was driving a luxury car worth millions. He hadn’t even saved enough money to wed a wife yet. Such was
