The Mafia's Dangerous Desire Chapter 370
Regis booked a junior suite with spacious rooms and full amenities at the hotel they had chosen. He wanted to make sure his wife and son could rest comfortably after the long journey and everything they had been through that day.As soon as they entered the room, Amora urged her son to take a shower and change into clean clothes so he could go straight to bed. Rayden quickly obeyed and headed to the ensuite bathroom.Amora let out a heavy sigh. Her eyes scanned the room, but Regis was nowhere to be seen. "Where did he go?" she murmured.The suite had a separate living room divided by a partition from the bedroom. Amora stepped out to look for her husband and found him sitting on the sofa, his head hung low."Regis, are you okay?" Amora asked as she approached him and sat beside him.Startled, Regis quickly lifted his head, but he offered her a smile. "I'm fine. I’m just ... just a little tired," he replied.Amora paused. She knew he was trying to hide his worries from her, but she did

“Amora?” Estelle’s voice on the other end of the line snapped Amora out of her daydream. Their call was still connected, but Amora hadn’t responded earlier.“Yeah?” Amora replied quickly, sounding a little startled.“I’ll send you some money later. Just use it for now,” Estelle said, leaving Amora stunned.“Estelle, but…”“Don’t refuse, or we’re done,” Estelle threatened, making Amora fall silent.“Thank you,” Amora whispered.“Don’t mention it. Get some rest. We’ll talk again later,” Estelle added. Just as Amora was about to hang up, Kimmy’s voice suddenly came through, asking to talk to Rayden.“Ray’s still in the bathroom, Kim. I’ll ask him to call you when he’s done,” Amora told her best friend’s daughter.“Okay, Auntie,” Kimmy replied before handing the phone back to her mother.“Alright, Amora. If you have any problems, don’t hesitate to call me. Remember, we’re friends,” Estelle said before ending the call.Amora sat in silence. Her eyes shimmered as she stared at the flat scre

Steffany's heart nearly stopped at her husband's biting remark. It made her feel like a failure as a woman. But Cedric wasn’t born disabled — someone had done this to him!Twenty years ago, when Cedric was just ten years old, someone secretly placed a venomous snake in his bedroom. The snake bit his leg while he was inside, and by the time he received medical attention, it was too late. The venom had spread rapidly, leaving his legs completely paralyzed.Steffany never saw it as her responsibility — it was Alejandro’s. He had countless enemies, and because of that, their son became a target. Cedric's current condition shattered the bright future he once had.Since that day, Alejandro always looked down on Cedric and favored Kenneth Volker, their eldest son. It was a stark contrast to how he once treated Cedric, back when he adored him for his brilliance — a trait that surpassed Kenneth's.“My dear … actually ….”Steffany was about to say something to Alejandro, but Cedric cut her off.

“Close the door, Hank,” Alejandro ordered his subordinate as they stepped into his office.Hank quickly obeyed. What they were about to discuss was a highly confidential matter, and Alejandro didn’t want a third party to overhear it.“Well? What did you find?” Alejandro asked, his gaze sharp and probing.Hank approached Alejandro, who was already seated in his large executive chair. He pulled a folder from beneath his long coat and placed it on his boss’s desk.“I’ve looked into Miss Lysander’s background, and she is indeed Patricia Lysander’s daughter,” Hank reported, making Alejandro’s heart stop for two seconds.Even though Alejandro had suspected it, hearing the confirmation sent his emotions into a whirlwind.He opened the folder and carefully scanned the notes and information Hank had gathered on Amora Lysander.A slow, satisfied smile spread across Alejandro’s face. “Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, 28 years have passed. Patricia’s been gone all this time,” he murmure

A long sigh escaped Alejandro's lips. "I don't know either, Hank. I really don’t know if bringing her back is the best decision for her and this family or not," he murmured.There was a time when Alejandro thought he would never see his daughter again. He had decided to cut all ties with her so she wouldn't get caught up in danger.But now, he realized she was already deeply entangled in a dangerous world, and he could no longer pretend not to see it. Yet, a lingering worry gnawed at his mind."I think it's good to bring the young miss back because Diego Lorenzo certainly won't sit quietly and let his son stay with her," Hank expressed his thoughts."But I doubt my daughter will acknowledge me as her father, Hank," Alejandro murmured with a bitter smile.After abandoning her since birth, suddenly appearing and claiming to be her father seemed more likely to make her hate him."Why not meet her and talk to her first, Boss? If you never try, you'll never know the answer," Hank suggested

Regis rubbed his temples as a throbbing headache pulsed through his skull. The stress of dealing with the mess his father created was taking its toll. Now, Regis was left with an enormous debt. He hadn't told Amora because he didn't want her to worry."Looks like I'll have to let go of some of my personal assets," Regis sighed in resignation.At the moment, he had no income substantial enough to cover the massive loan. Pawning off a few of his assets seemed to be the only way to settle the debt.Fortunately, Regis still had a few assets untouched by his father since they were purchased with his own personal funds. He knew this was exactly what his father was after. Diego Lorenzo had pulled this dirty trick to corner him.Diego wanted Regis to understand that without the Royal Dragon and the Lorenzo family, Regis was nothing."I can't let him keep interfering with my life. I have to do something," Regis muttered to himself.Despite all the challenges and the wealth he had to sacrifice,

"Regis, how about we look for a temporary rental home first? It would cost less than staying in a hotel like this. I still have a bit of money, and maybe we can find a smaller but decent place to live," Amora suggested to her husband."I've been thinking the same about renting a house, but I don't want to use your money," Regis replied, making Amora's face fall.Amora wanted to help ease Regis's burden, but it turned out he didn't want her to bear the weight."Don't you still have your business partnership with Mrs. Moonstone? Your money is the capital for your business, Amora. You guys just started, and you'll need quite a lot of funds going forward," Regis reminded his wife.Amora bit her lip. She fully understood her husband's concern. "But ....""I know you want to help me, but I still have some savings. I'm not broke just because I left Royal Dragon, my love," Regis chuckled softly before continuing, "I have enough for the rent. No need to worry."Amora could only sigh in resigna

"Young Master ..." Mark muttered softly.He could sense how difficult this was for his young master. It was clear that making such a monumental decision wasn’t easy.Mark could only hope that Diego Lorenzo would eventually change his mind because he didn't want their strained relationship to destabilize Royal Dragon.Right now, the internal situation at Royal Dragon was a complete mess — not just within the company but in the organization as well. Many of Regis’s loyal subordinates were forced to follow Diego’s orders, even though they felt those tasks were inappropriate for their roles and went against the principles Regis had always upheld.But as subordinates, they had no choice but to obey Diego Lorenzo as their leader, despite the growing sense of disappointment.After hearing Mark’s account, Regis felt deeply remorseful for dragging them into his conflict with his father. Yet, he had no other option.All this time, Amora had been bearing the weight of his problems alone. Now, Re

“Do you want to meet your biological father, Miss Lysander?” Diego asked, his tone probing.He had considered arranging a meeting between them as a trade-off—if Amora agreed to leave Regis. “If you want, I can—”But Amora cut him off immediately. “That won’t be necessary!”Diego froze, caught off guard. He noticed the tears beginning to pool in her clear eyes, but there was something else there too—a sharp, almost predatory glare that made it clear she wasn’t someone to mess with.A faint, cold smile curved Diego’s lips. That side of her ... it was just like Alejandro Volker—and Diego hated that side the most.Even though he could see how angry Amora was with both Alejandro and himself, Diego couldn’t care less. In fact, he almost welcomed her hatred for Alejandro. To him, that was a win.‘Alejandro Volker … maybe the best punishment for you is your daughter’s hate,’ Diego thought with a twisted smile.He wanted Alejandro to feel the same kind of pain he felt now—being despised by you

"Are you criticizing how I handle my son, Miss Lysander?" Diego asked, his voice cold and piercing.The pressure in the air made Amora hold her breath. She quickly broke eye contact with the middle-aged man. That sharp gaze, almost suffocating in intensity, made her realize she might've crossed the line. Still, she didn’t believe anything she said was wrong.“I think you know what I really meant, Sir,” Amora replied, refusing to back down even a little.Diego scoffed. Her unyielding attitude both impressed and annoyed him. “If he hadn’t chosen a life with you, I wouldn’t have gone this far either, Miss Lysander,” he said as calmly as he could.Inside, though, rage was boiling in his chest. But he wasn’t about to let Amora see that she had managed to stir him so easily.Diego kept cornering her with harsh words, trying to make it seem like all his actions were her fault, as if she were the root of the problem. And that made Amora’s blood boil.‘No! I can’t lose it. He still has Grandma

“Mr. Lorenzo—”“Let’s talk over dinner,” Diego cut her off before Amora could say anything else. He signaled to one of his men standing by the door.Moments later, a server rolled in a cart of food that had clearly been prepared in advance. He placed a plate of beef bourguignon in front of Amora and Diego.The rich aroma of the dish made Amora’s stomach growl. She was starving—she hadn’t eaten a single thing since morning. But despite the tempting sight and smell in front of her, she held herself back.“I’m sorry, please take my plate away,” Amora said to the server.The man hesitated and looked toward Diego, whose expression had darkened at her refusal—clearly taking it as a sign of disrespect.Amora could sense the shift in Diego, too. Still, she stayed calm, projecting confidence as she stared him down. “I’m not hungry. So let’s just cut to the chase, Mr. Lorenzo.”Diego smirked. With a wave of his hand, the server quickly wheeled the food cart out of the room.“What do you want in

"Grandma ...."Amora’s whisper was soft and full of sorrow. She deeply regretted dragging her innocent grandmother into her mess.Clutching her phone tightly, Amora’s earlier resolve to avoid Diego completely shifted. Without a second thought, she bolted out of her rented house and rushed to the meeting place Diego had set.Thirty minutes later, she arrived. Amora glanced around before stepping toward the restaurant.Her brows furrowed when she saw the sign hanging on the restaurant’s door—it said closed. But the street outside still buzzed with activity like usual. A place like this shouldn’t be closing this early.Her heart pounded. A sinking feeling settled in her chest as her mind conjured all the terrible things that might be happening inside. For a second, she considered turning back. But then her grandmother’s face flashed in her mind, reigniting her courage.She took a deep breath, bracing herself, and pushed the door open. The silence inside sent a chill down her spine.The r

“Oh my God. What time is it?”Amora shot up in bed, completely startled to see the sun already high in the sky. She turned to glance at the wall clock and nearly panicked—it was almost ten in the morning. And she hadn’t even started prepping lunch for her husband and son yet.Running her fingers through her already-messy hair, she groaned, “Ugh, I can’t believe I slept this long.”She had only meant to lie down for a bit—but somehow, she ended up sleeping for three whole hours!Normally, no matter how tired she was, Amora never slept this deeply. Something felt off. She realized she’d been feeling unusually drained for the past week, and today it was even worse.“Am I ... actually sick?” she murmured, worry creeping into her voice.But a moment later, Amora shook her head firmly. She tried to shake off the fear with a positive affirmation. “No. I can’t be sick,” she said with conviction.She didn’t want to give Regis anything else to worry about—especially not her health. So she pushe

It had been three days since Regis, Amora, and Rayden moved into their modest rental home. A calm morning greeted them with warmth and cheer. The scent of freshly baked pizza mixed with the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air.“Morning, Dad,” Rayden greeted as his father walked out of the bathroom and joined them at the dining table.“Morning, Ray,” Regis replied, bumping fists with his son.Simple mornings like these had become a special kind of happiness for Regis over the past few days. A warm greeting and a genuine smile to start the day—no wealth or power could ever replace that.But deep down, Regis still carried a concern—he hadn’t secured any steady income yet. Over the past two days, he had applied to several companies, but not a single one had called him in for an interview.Regis suspected his father had a hand in that. Both Gino and Xavier had previously offered him positions in their personal businesses.But Regis turned them down. Their lines of work didn’

“Mad?” Amora raised an eyebrow.Regis gave a hesitant nod. “Aren’t you? I mean, you were completely silent on the drive here.”Amora let out a small laugh before replying, “I’m not mad. I was just a little annoyed earlier. I’m sorry.”Seeing how concerned Regis looked, she added, “But I’ve thought about it, and I understand—you were only trying to keep us safe.”Earlier, Amora had stayed quiet in the car, reflecting on Regis’s words. She realized that her stubbornness might’ve put them in danger. But Regis had misread her silence, thinking she was giving him the cold shoulder.“I was going to say sor—”Before she could finish her sentence, Regis leaned in and kissed her lips.Amora’s eyes widened in surprise. She quickly glanced around, noticing the agent who had accompanied them looked just as shocked. The agent immediately turned away, pretending not to see anything so as not to make Amora feel uncomfortable. But Amora's face had already turned bright red like a boiled lobster.“Reg

“Sir, are you sure you don’t want to rent it? If you’re not interested, I’ll pass it on to another potential tenant. Someone else is coming to view it this afternoon,” The agent said.Despite the agent’s subtle threat, Regis firmly declined. But before he could say more, Amora tugged on his arm and politely asked the agent if they could have a few minutes to talk in private.She pulled Regis aside to a quiet corner of the room and said, “Honey … I don’t think we’ll find another place like this for this kind of price, not with these specs. Don’t you want to at least think it over?”Regis paused, clearly seeing the look on Amora’s face—she didn’t want to lose this opportunity.They had to be careful with their spending right now. Offers like this didn’t come around often, and honestly, anyone would be tempted.But Regis had a gut feeling. Something about this just didn’t sit right. He suspected someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes, using the agent as a front.“But Amora … d

"Lysander Group Declares Bankruptcy! Charlie Lysander in Critical Condition!"That was the headline glaring back at Amora. Her face turned pale as shock washed over her.Oddly enough, she didn't feel even the slightest joy. She should've been happy to see the Lysander family suffer after they cast her aside seven years ago.But instead, seeing her grandfather lying helplessly in a hospital bed made her chest ache. She felt like he didn’t have much time left.Noticing Amora standing frozen with trembling hands, Regis immediately clasped her hands gently."What’s wrong, Sweetheart? What are you looking at?" Regis asked as he glanced at his wife's phone.Amora showed him the news article. "I had no idea the Lysander Group has been in financial trouble for a year now," she murmured after reading the details.Regis smirked slightly. He wasn't surprised in the least. "They had it coming, my love. Mario Lysander is a terrible businessman. He’s been running the company into the ground since h
