The Capo's Deadly Bride Ā Ā Ā Chapter 43
Delilah placed the empty bowl into the sink, turning on the faucet to rinse it clean. As the warm water washed away the last traces of her midnight snack, she felt a lingering warmthānot just from the soup, but from the thought that Marco had saved it for her. He hadn't asked where she was, or if she was okay. Instead, he'd just known she'd be hungry, known sheād need comfort. With a soft smile lingering on her lips, she turned off the faucet and dried her hands.The mansion was steeped in silence, each room cloaked in shadows. She tiptoed down the hall to the bedroom, careful to keep her steps light and avoid the creaks on the wooden floor. Marco lay on his side, the slow rise and fall of his breathing hinting at sleep. Delilah glanced at him, feeling a pang of affection that softened her earlier frustrations. She slipped quietly into the bathroom, the thought of washing away the evening's events almost as enticing as sleep itself.Under the warmth of the shower, the hot water

The next day, Delilah returned to the mansion as the evening sky turned a deep shade of blue. Excitement still lingered from her day at the cafĆ©, where Mrs. Layla had been generous, paid in full and offered praise that made Delilahās heart soar. It felt like a small victory, a boost of confidence she hadnāt expected but gladly welcomed.After freshening up, she looked around for Marco, hoping he might be in the kitchen making one of his simple, comforting dishes like chicken noodle soup. But the kitchen was empty, leaving her with a pang of mild disappointment. She wandered back upstairs, passing by the closed doors until she stopped at the library. Curious, she pushed the door open slightly, and there he was.Marco was seated at the large oak desk, surrounded by piles of documents. He looked utterly focused, a small furrow in his brow as he flipped through the pages. He wore a crisp white dress shirt, sleeves rolled up and the top buttons undone, exposing a hint of his collarb

At dawn, the room was bathed in a soft, silver glow, and Delilah moved quietly through it, careful not to disturb Marco, who lay sprawled across his side of the bed, still fast asleep. She had watched him come to bed late the night before, exhaustion written across his face. His steady breathing now filled the quiet space, a gentle rhythm that made her pause by the edge of the bed, just looking at him for a moment.After a beat, she turned and opened the drawer of her nightstand, reaching for the velvet-colored jewelry box tucked in the corner. Inside, her golden wristwatch gleamed in the morning light. She slid it on, admiring the familiar weight of it around her wrist.Turning back to Marcoās side of the bed, she couldnāt resist bending over to brush her lips against his forehead in a gentle kiss, her hand lightly trailing down his arm. The last thing she wanted was to wake him ā yet, to her surprise, Marcoās arms rose as if on instinct, wrapping around her waist in one swift mo

Delilah nodded, letting Mrs. Madison share what she needed. She knew this was part of the process ā allowing her clients to feel understood, safe in a way they likely hadnāt felt in years."He controls everything," Mrs. Madison continued, her voice barely above a whisper. "My finances, my social life. I canāt even call my family without him monitoring the conversation." She paused, swallowing hard. "And when heās angryā¦ well, you can see the result."Delilahās gaze didnāt waver, though her fingers tightened subtly around the edge of the table. She had seen women like Mrs. Madison before ā trapped in gilded cages, their freedom stripped away layer by layer until all that remained was a husk of the person they used to be."Alright," Delilah finally said, her tone steady. "When do you want himā¦ gone?"Mrs. Madison looked at her with a sudden intensity, her desperation shining through the bruises and swelling. "Anytime youāre able to," she said, almost pleading. "Iām fine with any day,

Delilahās heart raced, but she forced herself to appear calm. Her fingers curled slightly at her sides, her nails pressing into her palms as she tried to steady her breathing."Oh," she said with an even tone, "so youāre his ex-assistant."Lucia's eyes roamed over Delilah, her gaze lingering on the crisp blouse and tailored trousers. A flicker of disdain danced across her face, her lips curling into a subtle sneer.Lucia chuckled lightly, the sound low and syrupy. "Yeah, you could say ex-assistant," she said, the word dripping with sarcasm.Her gaze swept over Delilah once more, as if assessing her worth. "It's nice meeting you," Lucia added, her tone laced with insincerity.Delilahās lips pressed into a thin line before she replied, her voice carefully neutral. "Likewise."Lucia's gaze shifted to the wristwatch on Delilah's wrist, her eyes narrowing ever so slightly. Her smile deepened, but it didn't reach her eyes. For the first time since entering the room, Delilah felt the full fo

Delilahās eyes fluttered open, and she found herself staring directly into Marcoās eyes.His gaze was steady, a hint of amusement softening his otherwise serious expression."I wasnāt pretending," she said, her voice soft but steady. "I was just trying to get your attention.""Well," he said, his lips curving into a faint smile, "you have all of it now."She swallowed, suddenly nervous. "Where do I even start?""Anywhere you want to." His tone was warm, inviting, as if he had all the time in the world for her.Delilah hesitated, searching his face for any sign of defensiveness. She found none. "I met Lucia."Marco raised a brow. "Alright.""You never told me there was a Lucia," she continued, her words careful. "I walk into the room, and there she is, introducing herself as your assistant. Thatās fineāyou need o

The morning light crept into the room as Delilah stirred awake, her lashes fluttering open to an empty bed.She stretched lazily before sitting up, her hand reaching for her phone on the nightstand. The events of the previous night flashed in her mind.Delilah had been a bit restless after her brief confrontation with Marco over Lucia.Her possessiveness gnawed at her peace.And so, with a determined smirk, sheād rummaged through her luggage and retrieved a small camera sheād hidden for emergencies like this.Slipping into Marco's library undetected, she had carefully placed the camera where it could capture the room.Satisfied with her work, sheād returned to bed, where Marco lay on his back, chest rising and falling in steady rhythm.Delilah had nestled her head gently against his chest, feeling his heartbeat und

The steady hum of the jet's engine filled the luxurious cabin. Seated in the opulent, cream-leather chair, Marco Donato's fingers moved swiftly across the keys of his laptop. His eyesādark greyāwere locked on the screen, his expression sharp and focused. In his mid-twenties, Marco's entire presence radiated dominance. His tall, muscular physique filled the seat with an effortless grace, his black hair styled just enough to maintain a hint of messiness, giving him a charming look. The dim lighting of the jetās interior cast sharp shadows across his face, emphasizing the stern line of his lips.He typed out a quick message to his family, and just then, the door to the cabin opened softly. Gino, his trusted right-hand man, entered. A hulking figure with an athletic build, Gino always bow to Marco, though he carried the strength of a man not easily intimidated.Gino bowed his head slightly in respect. "Boss, is there anything you would like?"Marco didnāt look up. "Just wine," he rep

Ginoās head felt heavier with each passing second."Something wrong?" Delilah asked, her tone deceptively sweet, her gaze narrowing as she observed him.He forced a nod, struggling to stay alert, but his voice came out in a whisper, "Justā¦ tiredā¦ so tiredā¦"His hand slipped from the wheel, and Delilahās lips curved into a smirk, watching him intently as his eyelids drooped, his head tilting slightly."Maybe you should take a nap," she said, her voice barely above a murmur.Ginoās eyelids fluttered as he struggled to stay conscious, a losing battle against the dizziness overtaking him. Within moments, his head slumped against the seat, his breathing deepening as he drifted into unconsciousness.Delilah waited a beat, watching his still form, then slid out of the car through the rear passenger door. She circled around to the driverās side and gently opened the door. Leaning in, she examined Gino, her hand brushing over his neck to feel his pulseāa steady, unconscious rhythm."Good,"

Gino turned back to leave, but he froze, his face paling. There, only a few feet away, stood Delilah, watching him with an unreadable expression. His pulse quickened, the blood draining from his face."Mrs. Delilah?" he stammered, barely able to force the words out. This couldnāt be. Just a moment ago, he had seen her walking away, disappearing down the street. Yet here she was, standing before him, looking at him like she had caught him doing something he shouldnāt have.He glanced over his shoulder, back to the spot where heād just seen her walk away. His mind reeled. "How did she get here so fast?"When he turned back to Delilah, his confusion only deepened. She wore a floral gown, a delicate clutch hanging from her handāthe complete opposite of the dark, fitted outfit he had just seen her wearing when she left Elijahās house."H-howā¦" He could barely keep the fear out of his voice.Delilah crossed her arms, her eyes narrowing as she took him in.
