Slowly but surely, he formed an uncomplicated plan. As long as it was swept under the rug and everyone kept it a secret, things would go accordingly well but if not, then it’s possible that it could cost him his job. Mateo, however, didn’t have a big problem with that. It’s as if he had reached his saturation point with this line of work. If he did end up being fired, things would work out in the Mafia King’s favor.
Mateo slept relatively peacefully that night. Sleep didn’t come soon but when it did, it wasn’t interrupted by the stresses of his daily life since he had already formulated a plan. What did wake him up wasn’t stress, but a few consistently soft knocks on the door. Not bothering to put on his sh

I won't be updating for a while due to some academic issues but I will start again as soon as I can. To give an estimate it might take around a month or two. I apologise for the inconvenience. Once I have cleared up everything I'll be back on track and continue the story. I hope you guys enjoyed it so far and I feel bad about waiting so long before continuing it :( Next time I write a story, I'll keep in mind that I should write in advance before starting it as to avoid such situations in the future. Thank you for reading

Mateo turned off all the lights, including the small night light ones that barely shined in the room, lighting up just the minimum areas to aid one in getting around. “You can sleep here tonight.” He said coolly as he walked over to the bed and slipped under the covers, making sure to submerge the tiny figure beside him under them. Nora didn't think too much of it, nor did she notice the real reason behind him turning off the lights. As surprising as it was, Mateo always slept with the night lights on. It would be easy to get up and move around in case of an emergency. He could easily locate his weapons and the bulletproof vest lying in his closet. Yet suddenly, he had turned it off. ‘I can’t afford for her to see me like this.’ He was making sure his expressions would be less visible. As strong and self composed as he was, even he could not remain completely stoned face while talking about such things. The fearless man seemed to be afraid that his fa

“If you told them the truth, would they have believed you?” Nora asked quietly. If Amanda had died, she would have been in jail. Nora didn’t mind since she did attack her but to think that he could go to jail for a huge crime that he didn’t do was appalling.“I’ve thought about that a lot over the years. There was definitely a chance they could have believed me. Even if I was arrested I would be placed in Juvie. I was scared. It was pathetic.” He chuckled, remembering his past self.It took years of training and killing to turn him into an emotionless shell. According to him he used to be a sensitive scaredy cat as a kid but who doesn’t think of their past selves in high critique?It wasn’t a big deal to him since he had changed now. He had worked hard to become stronger than ever, and though he hadn’t taken his revenge against his father yet. He was a patient man. A predator that would crouch

“It’s.. It’s Marcos?” The expression on her face was pure disbelief. Her finding was more of a question than a comment, as if she expected him to call her deduction absolutely ridiculous but instead of her expectations what she received was complete silence. It was more than enough to confirm her suspicions.“Marcos is your half brother? He never mentioned it before.”“He doesn’t know.” Mateo hesitated before replying. He wished he didn’t trust her as much as he did.“But.. that’s.. why didn’t you tell him?” Her voice goes soft all of a sudden. She couldn’t help but feel bad for Marcos, who had no family. She didn’t know what she would have done if she didn’t have her sister with her. To think that if something like this had been kept secret from him, it was almost cruel. Such a news would have completely shaken him up, it would have provided with th

“What are you? A dog?” He pulls back his finger reflexively.“hmph.” She flips to the side with difficulty, considering that Mateo was holding her hostage beneath him.“Hey hey, what are you sulking for? I said it was cute.” Mateo pursed his lips to try and stop himself from making any noise that resembled mocking or laughter. She was angry enough as it was. More than anything, she could feel the embarrassment creeping up on her from head to toe. It was probably a moment that would haunt her for many days ahead before she could finally get over it.‘Of course he wouldn’t want someone as inexperienced as me.’ She couldn’t help but mutter inside her own head.“Forget I said anything. Goodnight.” She closed her eyes shut and pretended to be asleep. Her breathing was a tad too irregular for her to pull it off.Mateo gently presses on her shoulder so she’s laid on her back aga

Even his stern grey eyes that were usually deep and cold seemed light and alive. It was something that might not be obvious to others but Nora could tell. From the way he looked at her when he first met her to now. It made all the difference."Pretty." It slipped out of her mouth before she could help herself. She was staring at his eyes.A mocking frown etched itself onto his face."First, that's my line. Second, I'm not pretty."Someone as rough and rugged as him would never want to be called pretty. It might be toxic masculinity but nonetheless it was prevalent in the generation."There was no other word for them." She fought back.It wasn't easy for him to compliment someone consciously. Of course if he was in a lustful haze, he would say the first thing that came to his head but in a calm headed setting, he wasn't one to shower someone with love.However, looking at her now, he knew he had to chang

"Ready?" Mateo asks her.Waves of butterflies clenched her gut. She did not have a good feeling about this at all. It was her who made the decision to go, she couldn't back out on her decision now. They would probably think she was weak and unworthy, was what Nora thought. That wouldn't let her escape her choice.It still didn't mean she was happy about it."Won't he rat us out when we leave?" Marcos points out. Mateo could tell that he was trying hard to hold back his anger at his betrayal. A few minutes alone with him would have been all that he needed to put him back in his place. He was the reason Marcos had to suffer, of course he would not be able to let it go that easily."That's why he's coming with us.""You're... kidding.. right? He could alert them on the

It was unfortunate really, that he had been doomed to this fate just because they had the same father.It made Mateo think that perhaps he should have driven the knife through his heart. Though, if that had happened he would have never met Marcos. Everything happens for a reason right?"Done"Mateo nods and they get going, entering from the hidden exit door of the hotel which was present at it's backside in the form of a rusty old iron door that usually people would take no notice of. It was there in case of emergencies like earthquakes and fires but it hadn't been used ever since it was built so maintenance was quite rare. They were in a city that seldom experienced such mishaps so that ended up working in their favor.They step quietly up the stairs, making as little noise as possible."If the cameras were cut, why

This book is now complete. In the future if some of you want some extra side stories or more fluff, I would be willing to write them. For now, I'll be focusing on my exams (which is why I didn't write any extra side story chapters about their kid and married life.) Thank you to all of those who left positive reviews. Every single one of them made my day. Even though I felt like this book did not reach the potential it had because of some academic issues in my life, I hope it still appealed to you in some way. I am grateful to those of you that enjoyed it. Thank you for reading ☆
The Mafia Prince 57
*a few years later*Some people aren’t lucky enough to get a happy ending. No matter how much they hope for something to happen, it doesn’t. That’s how life is.That didn’t stop Nora from praying in her sister’s room everyday. Every birthday, she would bring cookies into her private room, asking her to wake up so they could eat it together. It continued like that for a while, not receiving any response.Nora let out a sigh.“It’s too early for that.” Mateo mumbled, still half asleep. His arm was draped over Nora’s waist, his head muffled in her pillow next to her head. He could feel every breath she took. Even though he left his old ways behind, he was still cautious of running into old enemies.Of course, the organization itself didn&

After spending a whole day at the university in frustration, she learned one more thing. Early morning she had already received the lesson of people not repenting their mistakes even after completely uprooting an entire life. Clearly, she was referring to her mother.She learned something new at the university she enrolled in.“I am… so.. stupid.”She took the necessary subjects required to attend medical school. Mateo had explained the basic things he knew about it to her, though he hadn’t attended college himself so he wasn’t aware of everything.Nora was barely at a good reading level in English let alone study subjects like math and science. Though she was alright with history, owing it to the hours of television she had consumed when she had nothing else to do. This proved to be more di

As much as Nora hoped, it wasn’t the case that her sister was miraculously healed by the time she came to visit. Her condition was the same. She was glad that at least she was not worse and as long as she was kept on the ventilator, there was a chance that she could wake up.Dr. Miller had asked Nora how long she wanted Nova to be on the ventilator. She told her about organ donation and what it could mean for other people. Nova would be able to improve the quality of life of at least 20 people. It was the first time Nora had gotten so angry at anything. Usually the shy and feeble type, she was not used to feeling such rage. She wondered if somehow along the way, Mateo had some influence on her behavior.“There’s no way.” She grit her teeth.She straight up refused and let her know, she would keep Nova on the ventilator for as long

As she left, Mateo’s gaze was piercing, as if he was giving her a warning.“You’re not as calm as you pretend to be.” Marcos pointed out.“I’d say the same but I’m afraid you’re not pretending to be dumb.”“Inherited it from my brother.”“That’s not how it works.” Mateo couldn’t help but cringe. Despite everything, he had to suppress a smile. He couldn’t deny that he liked being called brother. He felt like he had a real family. Soon enough, Nora would be family as well, was his intention.“What do you think of this?” Mateo showed him a little black ring box.“Ew. Incest.” He immediately received a flick to his forehead.

“What? I thought you two made up, which surprised me.” Marcos’s face contorted in an expression of confusion at the end of his sentence. He had expected Nora to storm out of the place immediately after finding out what Mateo had done. Surprisingly, she had stuck around and even came to forgive him for what he did, though she needed some alone time to process everything that had happened.“It wasn’t his fault. He didn’t know and besides, my father was a criminal.” She mumbled.“Nora, we are criminals too, if you’re considering the law.” He made a good point.“That’s true, but you don’t traffic children.” Her hand went up to her hair and pulled at it in frustration. Her head felt like it was about to burst from all these strange thoughts and emotions. “I’m not normal.
The Mafia Prince 52
He paced around outside her room for a while, unsure of what to do. Should he go inside and ask for her forgiveness or should he give her some space first? If he gave her space and she took off, never to be found again. What would he do? Mateo knew that he was being ridiculous, over thinking about it just because he was scared of what her reaction would be. He did not like the feeling. It was something he wasn’t used to.With Nora, it always seemed like he was experiencing new emotions, things he hadn’t encountered ever since he was a kid.Mustering up his will, he knocked on the door a few times. He called out her name when he didn’t receive a response.“I’m coming in.” He turned the knob slowly with a hasty breath, as if he himself was afraid of what was behind it. The expression she would make.

“So.. did you chop his balls off like Nora said you were going to do?” Marcos grinned as he watched Mateo suffer with his meal. His right eye was swollen and black and the lashes over his body burned.“She shouldn’t have had to see that. Why did you let her in?” He grit his teeth.“I tried but she’s tiny. She snuck in there before I could stop her.” He shrugged, feeling all the stares accumulating. The dining hall was more silent than usual. That could be owed to the fact that the main topic of gossip was none other than their boss who was sitting right in front of them.“What’s up with them?” Marcos asked in a muffling voice as he chewed on his food. He received a look of contempt from Mateo and immediately chose to close his mouth while he ate. Mateo’s disappointment always had a way of making him change.“They’re making me the new Mafia King.&rdq

"What are you doing?" Mateo mumbled, as if trying to warn her. His eyes were swollen and slightly black, his arms and legs were tied to the chair with a rope. Blood trickled down his forehead onto his bare chest and then further down his abs.Nora thought it was alot of blood, enough to make someone pass out. Mateo drew his head back, using the top of the chair as support, to get a good look at Nora. For a second he thought he was hallucinating, but she seemed to actually be there."The celebrity has finally arrived" Lucas smirked, there was a sinister tone in the way he had said celebrity. Mateo knew it was because he was still mad about her rejecting his advances and then further insulting him. It was also because he was mad about everyone completing the mission successfuly without any setbacks. No one had died, everyone had made it out alive in one piece which happened to be against that little plan of his. He was confused until after a little bit of digging,
