The Mafia Don's Secret Chapter 74~ She Doesn't Like Me!
MATEOWhen Bruno left the room, I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of discomfort. I’ve known Bruno for a long time and he was not the kind of guy to retreat from a fight or in this case a confrontation which made me believe that something was definitely up with him.Also, I now knew for a fact that he was desperate.Desperate people tend to do stupid things, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that Bruno was hiding something from me. He might look all innocent, but trust me, I know him more than that.I shifted my gaze to Dominic who’s been standing still for long even after Bruno left. “Are you just going to keep standing there, or are you going to make yourself comfortable?”He walked to my desk, sitting on the same chair Bruno had sat. “You know, I’ve been meaning to ask you this for a long time now.”“I’m listening.”“I know you did say you and Bruno haven’t been quite the cool Mafia guys, but then...” He paused, as if searching for any reaction. “Don’t you think we should give him a

MATEONight came sooner than I expected. Funny enough, I wasn’t done thinking of ways to have Renzetti pay for what he did to my father. It hurt me even more knowing that I had gotten to know about this at a late hour. But it wasn’t too late to have my revenge on him.I went to the dining room to have dinner. Christopher already has my ordered meal ready on the table. The sight of it already made me full, but I was too hungry to neglect it.Christopher came to pour me wine in my glass cup when he sensed the trouble on my face. “Is everything alright, Sir?” He asked.I nodded, trying my best to have the slightest smile on my face. “I’m fine, just a bit stressed out.”“Then you must get some rest.” I nodded.As he turned to leave, I called him back. “Have a seat.”“Sir?” He looked surprised. It was rare for me to do such a thing.“The meals are much for only me, you should join me.”“I’m not hungry, Sir. And besides...”I furrowed my brows at him, and he could sense the look on my face

CLARAI stirred, slowly opening my eyes and immediately realized that I was wrapped in Mateo’s arms. It startled me because I never expected to wake up in such an intimate position. Our arrangement was strictly contractual, a practical understanding, not a meeting of hearts. However, there I was, lying against him as if we had shared an intimate experience. I untangled myself from him and sat up slowly.I could make out the light of dawn filtering through the curtains and tried to remember how the night had ended. I had been so tired that I called it an early night after having dinner. Although; Christopher might have also contributed to that. I was getting spoiled by his mouth-watering meals.I threw my legs over the bed and finally stood up. I stopped for a moment and glanced at Mateo’s sleeping form. I didn’t hear him come in last night and wondered if I should say something to him. I shook off the thought and headed to the bathroom. I dressed silently, the fresh morning air makin

CLARA“Clara, like I said, everything seems to be in order so far so good.” Nurse Linda remarked as she prepared to leave. “Dr. Simmons will be in shortly to discuss the results with you.”Not quite long after Nurse Linda had left, Lucaa showed up. “Hey, you didn’t tell me today is your check-up day.”I never forget to notify Lucaa about my checkups since she was the only person who was there for me on occasions like this. But yesterday was so hectic for me that I had to sleep way earlier than I do. And to talk of what happened this morning, I wouldn’t blame myself for not remembering either.“How is the baby?” She asked, concerned.I shrugged. “The nurses said he’s fine. Doctor. Simmons will be here soon.”She gave me a nod.“Did you see Dominic when you walked in?” I asked, but she acted like she didn’t hear me. “Lucaa?”“Why is it taking the doctor so long to show up?”“Lucaa, don’t act like you didn’t hear what I said.” I frowned. She looked at me and sighed. “Clara, can we not h

MATEOI was not a restless person.No, I was far from that. Now why on earth have I been feeling uneasy all day?I had myself convinced that it was because of how I acted out of character yesterday but even I knew that was bullshit.The only reason why I felt like this was because I knew that Clara was currently alone with Dominic and I hated that.I hated the close relationship and no matter how hard I tried to ignore it, it kept getting on my nerves. Constantly.As if I had conjured him, Dominic walked into my office with a smug look on his face.“Why are you looking at me like you know something I don’t?” I asked, struggling to keep the frown off my face.“Enough with the act, Mateo. I know you have questions for me and I’m here to answer them so ask anyway,” he replied.“I don’t have any questions for you and I would prefer it if you go back to work,” I told him but he ignored my words and sat down anyway.I sighed. “Since you seem to have so much time on your hands lately. How

CLARA“You’ve got to be kidding me, girl. Please say that this is a joke,” Lucaa begged.I shook my head and took a sip of my latte. It was decaf of course.Oh, how I missed caffeine.“I’m not kidding, Lucaa. I don’t think I want to do it,” I replied.“But that’s like the chance you have to receive free gifts. Babies aren’t cheap, you know?”I took another sip of my latte and set it on the table. “I’m well aware of that but I don’t want to take advantage of people’s generosity,” I told her.She sucked back her coffee and glared at me. “You’re not taking advantage if they really want to do it for you.”I shrugged. “Still, it still doesn’t feel right.”Lucaa sighed. “What the hell am I going to do with you?”“You have no choice but to love me forever,” I replied.“This is not the time for jokes, Clara. I’m dead serious. You need to have a baby shower.”“This is not why I asked to meet you, Lucaa. Mateo’s mom asked me about it and I want you to help me come up with an excuse so that she

CLARAIt was late afternoon before Lucaa and I said goodbye to each other at the coffee shop when I returned to the house.I was greeted by Christopher at the door.“Hi, Christopher,” I greeted.“Hello, Ms. Clara. You were gone before I had breakfast ready,” he said.I smiled at him and said, “I apologize. I had to meet with my friend at our spot.”“The coffee shop?” he inquired and I nodded. “I hope you at least got something to eat,” he added.“Yeah, I ordered a muffin with my coffee at the cafe,” I replied.Christopher shook his head. “No, that won’t do. You need more than a single muffin and I’ve got just the right thing for you.”He grabbed my hand and dragged me towards the kitchen.“Sit,” he ordered, pointing to the high stool by the kitchen island.I took a seat and asked, “Don’t you think it’s too late for breakfast?”“I know, that’s why I’m going to serve you lunch,” he replied. “You have more than just yourself to think about so you need to eat well.”“But I am eating well

MATEOThe last thing I expected was an impromptu visit from my mother.No, it wasn’t because I didn’t want to see her but more often than not, when she does things like this, it’s to tell me about her sudden bright ideas which usually consist of fundraisers and charity balls.However this time around, her bright idea was none of those. Today, she came to my office to discuss Clara and her baby.“I don’t know why you are telling me all this, Mom. Ultimately, it’s Clara’s decision,” I said.“I know but you can always convince her. It’s your baby too,” she argued.“I’m not going to force her to do something she doesn’t feel comfortable with.”“What’s there to feel uncomfortable about? It’s a baby shower, every expecting mother wants one,” she said.Except, for Clara apparently.“Then she must have a reason why she doesn’t want to have one,” I told her and she frowned at me.“Why are you acting this way? You should be trying to change her mind.”“Clara is old enough to know what she want

The Mafia Don's Secret Chapter 89~ Are You Gay?
BRUNOI ended the call and turned to look at her.“Oh, good. You’re dressed. Do you want me to call you a cab?” I asked.“I thought at the very least, you would be a decent human being but here you are propositioning another person when I’m still in your house,” she said, glaring daggers at me.“Last I checked, I don’t owe you any explanation about how I live my life. Who I do or don’t invite into my home is none of your damn business,” I replied.“I can’t believe this. You used me and now you’re just trying to dispose of me like trash?”“Now, I’m not going to let you continue slandering me and assuming things I never even said. I have been patient enough with you and accommodating your shit. There’s a limit to the amount of shit I can take so don’t even push your luck, Linda.”“My name is, Lacey!” she yelled. “Jeez, you can’t even get that right.”“And what does that tell you?” I asked. “Why don’t you do us both a favor and just go.”She pursed her lips into a stubborn pout and sat d

BRUNO“Is that supposed to be a threat?” Alfred asked.I was in no fucking mood to deal with, his antics. Alfred did not know what personal space was and worse, he did not know when to get a fucking clue.That was going to get him killed one day.“I don’t make threats, Alfred, and I was just giving you a subtle reminder of what happens to people who refuse to mind their business,” I replied.He looked to Mateo, probably expecting tobe backed up but, Mateo just shrugged and closed his car door.His driver took off, leaving me alone with, Alfred who has refused to get a fucking clue and move on. “You don’t want to make an enemy of me,” he said and I laughed.Oh, he was hilarious. Just because he held the title of a lord, he thought he could threaten me with the little territory he controlled.“I don’t bother about people like you, Alfred. And just so you know, Mateo and I might be enemies but one thing that’s constant in life is change. You just pray that this change does not end up get
The Mafia Don's Secret Chapter 87~ He Doesn’t Know.
MATEOEvery time I had to be in Renzetti’s presence, I always had to remind myself that I was playing the long game and not to do anything rash.That was why I hated these general gatherings. First, I couldn’t stand most of these lords and the feeling was definitely mutual but most importantly, this was just a colossal waste of my time.However, for the time being, I still answered Renzetti so I couldn’t decide to skip out on the meeting without putting myself on Renzetti’s radar, that was if I wasn’t already on it.This particular meeting was not our regularly scheduled one. No, Renzetti called this meeting as a matter of urgency and I had a good idea what he was going to say.Bruno also walked in and sat at the far end of where I was, not sparing me a glance because none of the people here must know that we were working together.As far as they were concerned, we both hated each other and I needed it to remain that way.“Hey, Mateo, do you know what this meeting is for?” Alfred, on
The Mafia Don's Secret Chapter 86~ Are You Jealous?
CLARAI parked my ass on one of the hard benches in the chapel and dialed, Lucaa’s number.“Hey, girl!” she answered in her usual chipper voice. “I wasn’t expecting a call from you today.”“Stop playing, Lucaa. Since when do I need to inform you before I call,” I replied.“I was just kidding,” she replied with a light chuckle. “And I’m going to guess and say you’re in the chapel so what’s up?”“I have news for you. In fact, I’m sure you would classify this as good news,” I said.“Ouuuu…I’m set. Now tell me what it is,” she demanded like a child and I couldn’t help but let out a little laugh.“Okay, I had a conversation with Mateo about the baby shower,” I started.“Okay….” She replied tentatively, obviously having no idea where this was going.So I went ahead and narrated the details of my conversation with Mateo. And in true Lucaa fashion, she listened without interrupting.“That seems to have been a very interesting conversation,” she said when I had finished giving her the details.
The Mafia Don's Secret Chapter 85~ The Ease She Gives To Me.
MATEOI found Clara watching a show when I walked into the house.I guess she was feeling better since she wasn’t asleep like she had been the past few days.“Oh, I didn’t hear you come in,” she said when she finally noticed my presence.“I was quiet in case you were sleeping.”“Well, you didn’t need to do that. Most of the time when I fall asleep I’m usually dead to the world,” she replied.Don’t I know it?Sometimes I wished I could sleep the way she did but I guess that’s virtually impossible. I doubted she had much to worry about.“Have you had dinner?” I asked.She nodded. “Yes, Christopher fed me before he retired for the night.”“That’s good.”“Uhm… do you want me to dish out your dinner?” she asked.I shook my head. “No, I can do that myself.”“Okay, then,” she said and turned her attention back to the show she was watching.I turned to go to the kitchen but stopped in my tracks when she called for me.“Can I talk to you?” she requested.“Sure, what do you want to talk about?”
The Mafia Don's Secret Chapter 84~ A Payback.
MATEO I sighed frustratedly. “I guess calling you here was a mistake then.”The smiled turned to a smirk. “Who said so?” I raised an eyebrow at him. “I’m quite less busy today, so I think being here is the best choice.”We sat in silence for a long time. Trust me, I wish I could smack his face a million times. He keeps getting on my nerves, giving me reasons to get annoyed even more.“If you don’t have anything to tell me, I guess you should get going now.” I told him.“Fine. I was even about to do that now.” He stood up, heading for the door. “I really need the information, Bruno.” I said, trying to be calm as possible. “I need to know what step to take next.”“And I said no, Mateo. I can’t give you the information you need right now.” He smiled. “I will definitely tell you, but not today. And not even anytime this week.”I never knew he was damn serious with his words until he walked out of my room without hesitation. I walked towards the window, watching as he stepped into his ca
The Mafia Don's Secret Chapter 83~ Stooping Low.
MATEO For the first time, I had to stoop low to listen to Dominic. Not like I never listened to his advice before, I meant on cases like this one.I couldn’t clearly tell why I was being this way towards Bruno. Not like I haven’t seen just enough to know he was on my side. But then, I just wanted to vent my anger on him. Maybe, that’s because I wanted him to see how annoying it was to suddenly hate an innocent man.But that wasn’t helping in anyway.I stared at my phone, but didn’t make a move to touch it. It was too early to give him that call, right?I’ll definitely do that later in the night.Lily walked in without knocking. I was too busy to even notice that.“Oh my gosh!” She screamed, covering her mouth with her hands. I looked at her, trying to know why she had suddenly shouted.She pointed at me, stammering like I had suddenly turned ghost. “What’s wrong, Lily?” I asked, trying not to transfer my aggression to her.“Your face, it’s burning red.” She finally spoke. “Did you ye

MATEO“Is there a reason why I need to be in this briefing?” Bruno asked.I glanced at Dominic who was sitting beside Bruno. We were currently in my office.“Would you prefer to be left out?” Dominic asked.“That’s not what I said,” he replied.“Then please, explain to us what you meant,” I said.“You sat right there merely a few days ago and accused me of being a traitor. I believe I have every right to be surprise when Dominic called me in the middle of the night to tell me that we had a field assignment,” Bruno said.“And I was told that you handled yourself quite well,” I responded.“What did you expect?” he snarled. “That I was going to let a bunch of amateurs take me out? If that was your big plan then you need to go back to the drawing board because you failed horribly.”I smiled. “Now, there’s no need to get defensive. If I wanted to kill you, I have a handgun that’ll do the job perfectly,” I told him.“Sir,” Dominic chided.“What? I’m just letting him know that I don’t need t
