LILY

For a thousand reason, I wanted to hate him so much, but my hidden love for him wouldn’t let me. Staring at his face alone was just enough for me not to do otherwise. Most times, he gave me reasons to fear him. Some other times, I just found myself loving every bit of him the more.

Don’t blame me, I can’t help it either.

I went to meet Dominic at the underground station where almost all the dirty task are being carried out. He was instructing a few men on what to do. As soon as his gaze met mine, he dismissed them.

Mateo said you have something for me.” I said, already hating why I was doing this in the first place.

“It’s more like a business deal,” he answered. “We’re to meet him.” He showed me a photo.

“Who is he?” I asked, clearly having no idea who it was.

“He is requested by Renzetti for having scammed him of a treasure worth ten million.”

“So, what’s the job?” I asked.

“Mateo wants me to act as a fake buyer, but I think it’s better if you play the role instead.”

    LILYI adjusted the ear pod in my ear which Dominic had given me as a way to communicate with him. Then, I took a deep breath before offering a knock on the wooden door before me.“Who’s that?” Said a wary voice from the inside.“It’s me,” I answered. “I’m here to purchase an artifact.”The man stared at me from the middle hole on the door, before pushing the door open. I clutched my suitcase before me, where the fake dollar note was stored.“Come in,” he permitted.“Thank you.”“It’s been long since a female buyer knocked on my door.” He said, while he put much effort into getting his legs moving. From what Dominic had told me, I was expecting someone younger, about late thirties or so.“My son isn’t back yet, he should have been the one talking business with you.” He said, walking towards a sink. “Mind for something?”I shook my head, “No, thanks. I’m just here to purchase the artifact and I’m gone.”He nodded and poured himself a glass of water instead. “What type of artifact is it

    LILYWe returned back home.Meanwhile, the suspect had been dragged to Mateo’s office before us.The other men and servants welcomed us like we had been in a battle for a year. I’ll admit, I really loved the praise, it made me want to do more. I never knew this was how exciting it was to go on a human haunt.As we stepped into Mateo’s office, he was already standing before the man who was already shivering. “I’m pretty sure you know him as much as I do, and we both know who foolishly you scammed him, thinking he won’t find out.”The man shook his head, now he was crying like a child. “I only sold it at the original price.”“Original price?” Mateo scoffed. “Do you think we’re stupid to seize a man without a proper investigation? It’s worth ten million, but out of your greed, you decided to sell it double.”“I wasn’t being greedy, sir. The shipping fee and other expenses warranted the increase in price. My only gain was a million dollars.” Why do I feel like he was telling the truth?Bu

    LILY“Are you sure?” He asked curiously.“They’ve been taking every direction I took, and they won’t stop following me.” I said, sounding more terrified than I thought I was.“Okay. Check for a signboard or anything and tell me if you can get an idea of where you are.” He demanded.My eyes were staring at both sides of the road. Even if I saw a signboard, before I could get a glimpse of the writing, I had driven past it. “Shit!”I kept looking for more signs, and I was lucky to see one. “Sparrow Dynasty. I think it’s a shopping mall or something.”“Sparrow Dynasty.” He repeated. “I’m on my way. Just keep heading towards the bridge, I’ll be there in a minute.”I kept driving slowly not to let those stalkers know I had noticed them. I was ten minutes away from the bridge, and I don’t know how long it was going to take Dominic to show up.Suddenly, the black car overtook me, speeding to my front. I matched the break paddle, stopping abruptly. Before I could revise, the men had already st

  • The Mafia Don's Secret    Chapter 46~ A Meeting with Renzetti

    CLARAI went to the chapel as usual, trying to keep to the act of being a true Christian person. Initially, my reason was to check on Lucaa, we haven’t spoken for days now. If not mistaken, we last spoke the day she slapped Dominic.After our brief conversation which didn’t last long as usual, I headed back to the mansion. By the time I got there, Lily was seated in the living room, but not alone. Her wounds were treated by a doctor whom I guess was called by Mateo.Lily on her own wouldn’t dare involve a doctor like she refused to have one on the night of the attack. Mateo was the least I noticed because he had his eyes and attention on something else.He would only pay attention to Lily when she screamed or groaned too loudly. He didn’t say anything, though he looked like he wanted to.Lily’s breath was so rough that it looked like she had run a million-meter race. Her face was already stained red, and I could tell from the reddish colour of her eyes that it hurt so badly, and how m

    CLARAWhy do I feel like there was more reason to why he had rushed his way into the bathroom? The long pause, and the way he was staring at me spoke so much I couldn’t explain. It felt like it was just our first time meeting, and he was trying every means to access me.I felt my cheeks hot as I smiled at the thought.However, Mateo left in a hurry, and he didn’t say anything else after our conversation. I went to check on Lily who was still asleep, then I had to pay a visit to the green garden. When everything began to bore me, I returned back to the room.For some reason, life here was silently becoming boring to me. It’s always the same routine all the time. Wake up, go to the chapel, phone Lucaa, have breakfast, do anything outside sleeping.Even though life outside was a bit... painful, at least there was more fun to it than being here. The only thing I get to enjoy is the rich dishes Christopher makes, which is something I’ll never regret. Ever!Lily and I weren’t the best girly

    CLARAIt started with a long, awkward silence that almost ripped off my heart. I had no idea how this would go, but I was physically and mentally ready for whatever question she’d throw at me.Then, she started, breaking the long silence. “How have things been with you and my son?” My heart skipped a bit. Even though I expected that question, I never thought it’d come this sooner.“Well, like I said earlier, all has been well between us.” I tried my best to sound real so she wouldn’t have to think I was lying.She nodded, “Has he mentioned marriage yet? Or are you two still in the fantasy of engagement?”I stared at her for the briefest moment, mentally thinking on how to shape the words. “Honestly, Mateo and I haven’t discussed anything related to that for the meantime.”She frowned. “What?” She questioned. “Why the sudden delay?”“Mateo has been handling a lot lately, and he rarely had time for himself, not to talk about anyone else.”“Even at that, you’re his wife-to-be, he should

    CLARAI was shocked. Don’t blame me, I didn’t see that coming.I had initially wanted to check on her and leave. But as soon as I saw her, and how pale she looked, I felt she needed my attention. What I didn’t expect was feeling her in my arms. Believe me, I still haven’t gotten over that yet.A part of me wanted to believe this was a new beginning for the both of us, the other part of me kept reminding me she had only done what she did because of her condition. All the same, it felt surreal.I could see the embarrassment on her face as soon as her stomach grumbled. I did want to laugh, but I held myself not to let her feel more embarrassed than she already was.“We need to get you something to eat. You don’t have to pretend like everything is alright.” I said, standing to my feet. “I’ll talk to Chris while you wait here.”I turned to leave but she grabbed my hand, stopping me on my track. “Wait. I’ll come with you.”That even surprised me the most. I had to pinch myself to be sure th

    MATEOThe man knelt before Renzetti, shaking like a leaf. His hands were pressed together as he begged for his life, tears rolling down his face like streams, but Renzetti felt nothing. No sympathy. No pity. “I swear, I’ll return the money in two days! Just give me 48 hours!” he pleaded. Renzetti smiled, tilting his head slightly. “Two days?” He repeated, pretending to consider it. “Fine. You have 48 hours.” He looked relieved, and it was obvious in the way he sighed. Fool. “But,” Renzetti added, his voice suddenly turned cold, “if you even think about running or going to the cops, I promise you’ll regret ever crossing me.” He nodded quickly, swearing with his life. “I promise, I won’t. I swear on my life.”“I’ll have my men watch you,” he continued. “One wrong move, and you won’t live to regret it.” “Thank you! Thank you!” he stammered, scrambling to his feet. Renzetti waved his hand dismissively. “Go.” He stood up, dusting his knees before attempting to leave. That was his f

    MATEO "I'm going to ask you this one question, Bruno." I leaned closer, eyes fixed on him. "Whose side are you on?""What's that supposed to mean, Mateo?" He snapped."It's just a question, Bruno."He scoffed, nodding his head. I leaned back in my chair, arms crossed, watching his face twist in frustration. He didn't want to show off that he was vexed at my question, but I could hear the slight tremor in his voice. He was angry, maybe even insulted, but underneath it all, he was desperate. "Don't you trust me?" he asked, narrowing his eyes. I tilted my head slightly, pretending to think. "At this point, Bruno, I’m not sure if I should." My voice was calm, but I knew he could feel every bit of it. "And you know... it’s not too late for me to have you killed." Bruno’s eyes flashed with fury. He scoffed, shaking his head. "And what exactly am I supposed to do to prove my loyalty, huh?" His hands clenched into fists on the table. "Because after a threat like that, do you really th

    MATEOThe phone buzzed in my hand, and I answered without thinking. Dominic’s voice came through, low in a whisper. “Bruno wasn’t the one behind the men.”I sat up straight. “What?” “We roughed him up, threatened him to talk, but he wouldn’t say a word about who he met today. If Bruno was in on it, he would’ve cracked.”I exhaled sharply, running a hand through my hair. If it wasn’t Bruno, then who the hell was it?“Since you said it’s not Renzetti, and from our attack, it’s not Bruno either, then you’re right. There’s someone else in the picture.”“I’ll figure that out soon.”The call ended, but the words stuck with me. I tossed the phone onto the nightstand and laid back, staring at the ceiling. My mind raced with countless thoughts, trying to place the pieces together. If not Bruno… then who? Renzetti’s name floated in my head, but something inside me refused to pin it on him. He had power, sure. But he shouldn’t know I had eyes on him this close.Damn it. I clenched my jaw. I

    MATEOI walked into the mansion, my mind raced with everything that had just happened. The unknown caller, the man at the bar, and the warning… I didn’t like any of it. The moment I stepped inside, I called for Dominic. “Track this number,” I ordered, handing him my phone. “I want to know who it belongs to.” Dominic nodded without question and left immediately. I paced the room, trying to put the pieces together. Someone knew about my plans. Someone who wasn’t Renzetti—at least, that’s what it felt like. But who else could it be? Minutes passed before Dominic returned. “Boss,” he said. “The number can’t be tracked.” I frowned. “What do you mean the number can’t be tracked?” I barked. “That bastard just phoned me minutes ago, and it can’t be tracked?”“It’s unavailable. Whoever called you must have destroyed the SIM card immediately after the call.” For the first time in a long while, I felt something I wasn’t used to… defeat. I had dealt with enemies before, men who thought they

    MATEOI sat at the bar, swirling the drink in my glass as I waited for Bruno to speak. He looked uneasy, his fingers drumming lightly against the counter. Whatever he had to say, I could tell it wasn’t good. After a moment of silence, he finally leaned in. “Renzetti has been meeting with the Minister of Finance,” he said, almost in a whisper. I lifted an eyebrow, waiting for him to continue. “He’s been keeping track of the goods and products coming in and out of the state,” he added. “That means he wants to know what everyone does—their businesses, their incomes, their productivity. Not just the regular citizens, but also the Mafia lords.” I exhaled slowly, setting my glass down. This wasn’t entirely unexpected, but hearing it confirmed made things worse. Renzetti wasn’t just expanding his power—he was making sure no one could move without him knowing.I see.“How long has he been doing this?” I asked. Bruno shook his head. “I can’t say for sure, but judging from how organized ev

    CLARAI couldn’t wait any longer. The dream haunted me, sticking to my every thought like a dark cloud that refused to disappear. No matter how many times I reminded myself it was just a nightmare, the fear wouldn’t leave me. I needed answers. Without telling Lily, without waiting for anyone, I took a taxi to the clinic. It wasn’t even my scheduled day for a checkup, but I didn’t care. I had to know. If there was still a chance, any chance, to stop this before it was too late… I needed to find out. As I sat in the back of the taxi, my hands trembled in my lap. The city passed by in a blur, my mind running in circles. What if the dream was a sign? What if the baby really wasn’t normal? Would they even allow me to get rid of it? Would Mateo stop me? The thought of him made my heart clench. I pulled out my phone and dialed Lucaa’s number. “Clara?” He answered almost immediately, his voice filled with concern. “Lucaa, I need you to meet me at the hospital,” I said quickly. “It’s

    CLARAI stepped into the room quietly, hoping to avoid any conversation with Mateo. But as soon as I saw him standing by the window, my heart clenched. His back was to me, his posture straight, his hands tucked into his pockets. Something about the way he stood there made him look deep in thought, but I wasn’t about to ask what was on his mind. I turned quickly, ready to leave before he noticed me, but his voice stopped me. “Leaving so soon?” he asked, almost too calmly to neglect. I swallowed hard and turned back slowly. He was already walking toward me, his dark eyes locked onto mine. There was something unreadable in his expression, something that made my stomach tighten. I took a step back. And another. He kept coming closer. I stepped back again until I felt the cold surface of the door against my back. There was nowhere else to go. Mateo smirked, his head tilting slightly. “You feel scared around me,” he murmured, his voice low yet teasing, “and yet, you get jealous when

    BRUNOI walked through the doors of my mansion, my fists clenched at my sides. All I could feel was anger. The moment I stepped in, my men turned to look at me, they all looked surprised to see me. Yes, I was locked up for three days if not mistaken, so they had every right to give me that concerned look. They could sense something was wrong, but I wasn’t in the mood to explain myself. “Boss, is everything okay?” Marco, my most trusted man, asked. I forced a smirk. “Of course. Why wouldn’t it be?” He studied me for a moment, but I didn’t let him see past my expression. I had already been humiliated enough today—I wasn’t about to let my men see how much it burned inside me. “Then why do you look like you just swallowed fire?” another man, Diego, questioned. I let out a short laugh, shaking my head. “I’m fine. Everything is fine.” But it wasn’t. Not even close. Inside, I was raging. Mateo had me right where he wanted me. He had made me look weak, like some puppet on a string, dan

    LILYI watched Mateo closely, my arms crossed over my chest. “I think Clara has feelings for you,” I said, waiting for his reaction. He didn’t look surprised. Instead, he gave a small nod. I raised an eyebrow. “So, you knew?” Again, he nodded. I tilted my head, studying him. “And? Do you have feelings for her too?” For the first time, Mateo didn’t have an immediate response. He just stood there, silent. I sighed. “You don’t have to answer me, you know. But I asked Clara the same question, and she refused to admit it.” Mateo looked at me then, having this unreadable expression. “She said she was only annoyed that we didn’t let her in when she was knocking,” I continued. “But I didn’t hear her knock.” Mateo’s gaze shifted slightly. I narrowed my eyes. “Did you hear it?” He hesitated for a second before answering. “Yes.” I frowned. “Then why didn’t you respond?” He ran a hand through his hair. “She knocked once. We were in the middle of settling our misunderstanding. How was

    CLARAI knocked twice, waiting for a response. Nothing. But I could hear voices inside, though they weren’t clear. My heart pounded a little as I hesitated. Maybe I should wait. Maybe they were busy. But something didn’t feel right. Without thinking much, I pushed the door open. And then I froze. Mateo was standing there, holding Lily’s hands. They were close—too close. Just an inch apart. My breath caught in my throat, and for a moment, I couldn’t move. Mateo turned his head sharply, his eyes locking onto mine. The way he quickly pulled his hands away from hers made it even worse. It felt like I had walked in on something I wasn’t supposed to see. “Clara?” he called with an uncertain voice.I didn’t answer. I couldn’t. My chest tightened painfully, and my fingers trembled as I reached for the door. Without another word, I stepped back, closed it behind me, and walked away. The pain in my heart was sharp, almost unbearable. I didn’t know why it hurt so much, but it did.I wa
