Chapter 70: A Truth too hard to bear

Draco’s P.O.V

“Fine.” Gabriele’s voice rang out loud and clear. “Get out of this mansion and get out of Leonardo’s life.”

Stunned wouldn’t even be a proper word to describe how I was feeling at that moment.

“Excuse me?”

“You heard me right the first time.” Now, there was open hostility in his voice. “A prostitute like you? You really think the Capo dei Capi will settle for someone as low? You’ve overstayed your welcome. You may leave now.”

“So…what I’m guessing is…Draco never told you about me. You got to know about me from security footages or by the rumors from the new recruits and you think you know everything about me just because you looked me up on Wikipedia?”

“No one calls his Draco!” Gabriele snapped, suddenly losing his composure. “Only his late mother called him that.”

The more I heard the conversation, the more I felt myself go numb inside.

I knew that Gabriele was a competent consigliere. He was a strict businessman who handle

Avoid him for now.’Rosanna Donatello read the incoming text from the Capo’s consigliere…and chose to ignore it purposefully.She put on her expensive shades as she exited the airport with her bodyguards and looked up at the New York skyline.‘So this is where my future husband lives?’ She thought to herself as she looked at all the tall buildings and their glass windows glittering in the afternoon sunlight. ‘This is where my future is going to be.’A few days ago, she had asked her father to send her to New York so she could spend her summer vacation with her future husband, but now, she was tempted to ask her father to let her move here permanently.

He expects to double his consumer list by the end of this year.”“Tell him he can keep twenty percent of the profit from now on.” I nodded for Riccardo to take away the suitcase. “If there isn’t anything else planned today, then I’d like to retire early.”“How about I set a date for you and Rosanna this evening?” Gabriele spoke before I could get up from my chair.A cool autumn breeze brought in the overwhelming scent of roses, making my chest tighten; it made my heart ache with lost memories…and anger.“I’ll ask the chef to prepare her favorite dishes an-”“How abou

    Chapter 73: Those who DefyDraco’s P.O.V:Once again, I unwillingly found myself sitting opposite to Rosanna Donatello. This time in my own house and at my private dinner table.She wore a white dress to accentuate her purity as she usually did. The one she wore today however, was more on the daring side even for her, with lace sleeves and a deep v-neckline. The dress reached her lower thighs and a red belt was around her waist. She had half of her golden hair up in a ponytail that too was secured with another red ribbon.In all black, this dress would’ve looked ravishing on my Gina. On her, it looked like a conwoman playing dress-up. She was trying too hard to be someone she was not and it showed.“Your consigliere called papa to let him know you wanted to set a wedding date.” Her pleasant voice, paired with that picture perfect smile…grated on my nerves. “I’m so glad you

You think I was playing you when I called you there? I want to know who rigged the cops just as much as you do!”“And you think it was me?” I asked him incredulously. “After four bloody years, this is all you called me to say? No apologies, no explanations? What the fuck do you even want, Vincenzo?”It was because of him that I lost Regina! It was all his fucking fault! I should’ve never gone there in the first place! Fuck! I should’ve never taken her with me!“Leonardo…I didn’t call to cause trouble.” He sighed from

I’d made a pattern to hide in my mansion for months on end before I appeared in public events. It’s a pattern that had helped me travel under the radar for ages. But Leonardo’s men are well trained, especially his consigliere. Beware of him.”Enzo didn’t need to tell me twice. “I know Gabriele well enough.” I had told him. “He’s like a dog that’ll do anything to please his master, to get his attention. He has some kind of moral compass that doesn’t allow him to leave Leonardo’s shadow no matter how bad he’s being treated.”“Any particular reason for that kind of loyalty?” Enzo had raised his brows in surprise.“That’s what I’m trying to fig

After all, Draco would be the last person to send his fiancé to meet his ex. And since the call had been made late last night, after I went back to the mansion in Long Islands after the meeting at my brothel, I had a feeling that it was Gabriele’s men who saw me enter or exit the brothel and then Rosanna had been informed.The entire café had been reserved for just the two of us today and both of us had brought our fair share of bodyguards just in case they were needed. I didn’t know about the Donatello Principessa, but I had full intention of taking out everyone if they dared to even look at me the wrong way.Rosanna wore a pastel pink

Rico frowned as he saw Paris say goodbye to a friend of his, that had followed him to join the NYPD right after graduating college.If he wasn’t wrong…the boy had been Paris’s friend in school as well. It made Rico frown even harder. Why was that boy following Paris around even now?“Hey.” Paris greeted him as soon as he entered the car. “Have you been waiting long?”“Five minutes.” Rico’s voice was curt, and he instantly regretted the slip up.“What’s up with you? You sound grumpy.” Paris raised his eyebrows at his boyfriend. “Was it something about work?”“No.” Rico shook his head. “It’s nothing,”He drove away from the alleyway, heading towards their apartment.

We’ve had quite a few rounds last night…but it looks like I’m not getting a break this morning either…not that I was complaining…The downside of having kids is not ge

The noise filling my ears until everything else seemed to fade away.And then…instead of Alistair…I saw Gabriele drop to the floor.It was an eerily dreadful sight. How he fell to his knees first, his hands dropping to his side as the gun fell out of it. And as he fell…Gabriele’s right eye exploded in a spray of blood and brain matter.Blood gushed out of his hollow eye, running down his cheek and dripping down from his chin as the eyeball lay in splatters on the ground, only a few feet away from me.And then he fell on the floor face first, and I covered my mouth as bile rose to my throat at the sight of the broken skull at the back of his head.Alistair turned to face me, urging me to turn around as well, but

And even though he didn’t show it on his face, I knew he was scared.It was evident in the slight tremble in his voice; the way he clutched me to his side with all his strength. He was worried about our daughter.This wasn’t how I had planned to introduced Harmona ti Draco. This wasn’t how a father’s first meeting with his daughter was supposed to be like.But right at that moment, a thought came to my mind…and it twisted my gut in horror.“Juliana…” I whispered.She was in charge of guarding my daughter…there was no way that she could’ve let Harmona go so easily…unless…No…they killed her! They…I failed her…I failed the woman I swore to protect…Gabriele and Enzo stepped into the living room from the hallway, Harmona still in their grasp.“Ah! Leonardo.” Gabriel’s sly smirk was filled with malice. “I think I should properly introduce the two of you.”My heart almost burst out of my chest as I saw

Just before his eyes rolled back into his head, I made eye contact with the fucker, watching with satisfaction as his eyes widened in horror.His body fell limply to the side, but I knew he wasn’t dead. The Vincenzo fuckers were too stubborn to die from a simple glass vase to the head. But if he had permanent brain damage, that wo

    Chapter 95: The Real PlanRegina’s P.O.V“What is the meaning of this?”Someone shouted, their voice enraged.But all I could hear was the static in my ears as blood gushed through my body, adrenaline kicking in as Antonio’s words suddenly became clearer.‘You’re nothing more than a pawn in this game! You’re Leonardo’s trash and as soon as we’ve gotten rid of him, you’ll become useless!’‘In two days, you’ll know exactly where you belong! At my feet!’Suddenly, the words that I had discarded off as a spoilt brat having a tantrum, came back to haunt me in full force.Antonio had been giving me hints because he knew exactly what his father had planned to do. And I hadn't paid any heed to him because I hadn't believed he would actually provide me with anything valuable.Turns out, the useless prick had been more useful that I had given him credit for.But now…it was too late.My heart trashed against my ribcage wildly as I tried to think about every possible scenario in which I could get

With the most influential leaders of the mob finally assembling under one roof, I needed to be at the epicenter of it all to know what was going on.If I continued to be locked up like this, in Antonio’s room, then there was very little chance that I would be able to warn them at all.I was dressed in a red dress once again, just like the first day I met Draco and revenge against those who had made my life a living hell, had officiall

Joining hands with Enzo? Why had I not seen that coming?The moment Draco told me that Rosanna was locked up in his office, with Gustav guarding her so that she cannot answer Gabriele’s phone calls. That should’ve made me think of every possible angle! Damnit!It was happening again! Draco was clouding my judgment yet again and this time at such a crucial moment.Gabriele was going to figure out that something was wrong right away, especially when he had been the one to send Rosanna those pictures of me and Harmona. He must have wanted Rosanna to confirm that it was indeed Draco’s child.And now that he knows Draco has an heir, he’s desperate to get Draco out of the way as soon as possible.And what better an opportunity than the man who was vying for the
