The Mafia's Klepto Bride A game
ELENA'S POV The car ride was utterly and nerve-wracking silent. It was the type of silence that should be soothing but still managed to make me nervous as I knotted my fingers together in the back seat.He was looking out the window with a hard look on his face and after a while, I couldn't stand the silence anymore so I spoke up.“Where are we going?” I asked.He adjusted in his seat, his gaze softening as he looked at me. “Just a small place” he muttered.I frowned. Small? He wasn't the type of person to go small. He liked lavish stuff so why were we going to a small-scale restaurant?He noticed the look of confusion on my face and offered an explanation. “It's better that way. For you. If you aren't surrounded by expensive-looking stuff, it will be easier to keep yourself in control. Right?” He asked, waiting for confirmation.Oh, right. I nodded immediately and sank further into my seat, conscious of the way he was still looking at me.Clearing my throat, I said the first thing t

ELENA'S POV There was a tense silence between us and I felt a tingle within my belly under his heated gaze.“Stop bluffing” I said trying to disguise my nervousness with a laugh.His gaze didn't falter and he kept staring at me with the same look.“I'm not” his tone was smooth and so believable that I almost choked on nothing.Luckily the lady came out again with a tray of steaming food.“Here” she said,unaware of the tension at the table.She placed the food on the table and I smiled at her in appreciation.She returned it with a glare and I immediately looked down at the food. Well she's not a big fan of me.“Do you need something else?”, her sweet tone was back as she turned to Luca who eyed the food and looked at her.“No. Leave” he said simply.Her gray eyes dimmed but she kept up that tight-lipped smile and scurried away.“She seems nice” I muttered, ignoring his eyes that didn't want to leave me.“Don't let looks deceive you” He said simply.I cleared my throat and picked up a

ELENA'S POV As we sat in the car on the way back to the mansion, I knew for sure that there was some kind of switch controlling this man's emotions.Because how the fuck would I explain him being casual and mischievous one second in the cafe then keeping a straight face while pretending I didn't even exist while we were in the car.It was like a freaking switch had been flipped.I crossed my arms, huffing silently as I stared at him through the rear mirror, an unreadable expression was on his face as he placed a hand under his chin and stared at his phone while going through some stuff.I wanted to tear my gaze away before he caught me looking, I really did want to but I couldn't. I couldn't help but watch how his black silky hair fell in strands obscuring his blue eyes…those beautiful blue eyes that seemed the pierce into my soul anytime he looked at me. But it didn't feel scary. It felt just right.And that was why I couldn't tear my gaze away. He had told me not to fear him even t

ELENA'S POV My eyes were wide with horror and my body felt numb.Luca pulled back and crossed his arms at me.“Get back in. Let's get home” he said, his tone still flat.With a twitching eyelid, I turned to look at him, my lips parted slightly in an iron ‘o’“You killed him …” I whispered, unable to believe the sight I had just witnessed.He sighed and placed a hand on his forehead.“I know what I did, Elena. Get in the car” He said, his tone hard and leaving no room for argument.My eyes turned to the dead man on the ground, his eyes blank and lifeless with a hole at the center of his head.Gagging and trying to fight the bike rushing up my throat, I quickly looked back at Luca but this time anger was in my expression.“You're a murderer” I stated the obvious as I stared at him with disbelief.He was silent and just looking at me until I clenched my fists and hit his chest, making his nostrils flare.“You killed him! You murderer!” I shrieked, knowing fully well he could do the same

ELENA'S POV The knock came again on the door, this time louder.I didn't move.A loud rap on the door again.I didn't steer.“Elena!” The voice on the other end yelled.I flinched and slowly got out of bed, wondering if I could jump out the window but considering that we were on the second floor, that would be suicide “Elena…I know you're in there. Please.” His voice softened.“Fuck this…” I whispered before opening the door.My heart caught in my throat as I caught sight of him in his morning glory. He was wearing a simply white t-shirt that seemed to expand around his muscles and his grey sweatpants hung loosely around his hips. My lips slightly parted and I looked up at him, noticing how his hair was still messy but he still managed to look good.Just one sight of him and I almost forgot that I was still mad at him“Elena?” His deep morning voice rumbled and my knees went weak.He knew what he was doing.“What do you want?” I asked, trying to keep up a bored expression and ignore

ELENA'S POV We were standing in this abandoned warehouse with stray objects lying about while we waited.One of the stoic-looking henchmen at the warehouse brought a seat for Luca while giving me a glare like “I'm not getting a woman a seat”Luca simply motioned me to sit instead and said nothing, a blank look on his face.I sat down gingerly and scowled at the guard who scoffed Inwardly and looked away.Honestly, we'd been here for just 5 minutes but I was getting bored. For Luca not to have said anything about the way we were kept waiting, I knew that it was either the said person we were waiting for was more powerful which was unlikely or Luca had something more sinister in mind which was why he was patient.After a while, a door to the left opened and I heard the faint sounds of music booming behind the door as a pudgy middle-aged man stumbled out, his skin shining with sweat.“Don Luca. I was surprised to hear that you had paid me a visit” he immediately said with a smile that m
Last Updated : 2024-10-29The Mafia's Klepto Bride Chapter 19: Did he touch you?
ELENA'S POV Enrico spread his glossy lips into a thin smile.“Well?”, he asked, as though I should have been ecstatic to see him.Sighing, I resolved to do this. I knew that I was not much help to Luca and the only thing he got out of this was whatever marrying me made him gain meanwhile I literally owed him my life.Just this once.“What are you doing here?” I asked him, raising a brow.“I'll cut straight to the crap. Come work for me” he simply put out.“Not interested. I don't think my husband would be pleased to hear you say this” I said, crossing my arms as I leaned on the wall.“Oh c'mon honey, he doesn't really like you, you know? He's probably in Natalie's room already. I can give you so much” his eyes roved around my body making me sick.“How much are you willing to pay though?” I suddenly asked.His brown eyes lit up as he saw him walk to him and smile at him.“200 thousand,” he said, his tongue sliding over his lips as I placed a hand on his neck.I tried not to gag from t

ELENA'S POV It was already 6 pm and I wore soft slippers as I padded down the stairs for dinner.“You're done?” Luca asked from downstairs as he set the table.Just something that I was yet to get used to again. He cooked, cleaned, and did most of his stuff by himself. Why? What was the maid for then?The said maid was standing there and bringing a tray of empty glasses and a bottle of wine.“Ma'am…” the maid said bowing in respect as she sighted me.“Rosa, how's it going?”, I asked her kindly, feeling a sense of connection to the 19-year-old maid.She smiled and placed the tray down. “Great. I shall retire now”, she said bowing respectfully to both of us before quietly retiring.I still didn't get her. She was so kind yet so quiet.“She doesn't talk much” Luca offered sending me a soft smile.I nodded and sat down at the table as he put a plate in front of me.“So uh, what about Enrico?” I suddenly asked Luca who was about to pour me a glass of wine stopped and forced a smile.“Do

The Mafia's Klepto Bride Chapter 84: Protective Luca
ELENA'S POV“Kill her…”“We should have killed her when we had the chance”“Kill her now”They all advanced towards me with their guns at the ready.No, no. Make it stop.I wanted to scream, to open my mouth but no sound came out, I was all alone.“He's not here to save you now”“You can't even live without him”“Weakling”One of the men with the dark eyes raised his gun, his face quite hazy as he squeezed the trigger.I screamed immediately, thrashing about when someone held me tightly.“Elena?!” The voice sounded distant yet so familiar and the person was holding meNo, they wanted to kill me.I tossed about in the strong person's hold until I was tired.“Calm down. It's just a dream” a voice that was unmistakably Luca's reached my mind that was clouded with fog.I opened my eyes and spent a few seconds trying to adjust to the bright sunlight that was filtering through the blinds before I could focus on Luca who was above me, his arms holding my hands tight.“Luca…” I whispered.He
The Mafia's Klepto Bride Chapter 83: Sinister thoughts
AUTHOR'S POV“What do you mean you didn't get that done?!” Bianca screamed at the man who had come to give her the reports.The man bowed his head slightly and sighed. “Look, Miss Conti. We did do our best. Things went haywire at the last moment” he explained.“Things went haywire?! Paulo, I paid you three million just to do this one thing. Get rid of the bitch but you're telling me things went haywire?! Do you know how much that cost me?!” She yelled, her eyes wide.The man clothed in black clothes that seemed to buff out his muscular physique snapped back immediately. “And do you know how much it cost me?! 28 men! Dead! Those were the best in my ranks and they're 6 feet deep now! What do you think this is to me?!”Bianca almost flinched when he advanced towards her but he stopped himself in time and looked away, his body brimming with anger.“As I can see, things didn't just go haywire. What happened?” She managed to calm herself down to speak.He sighed. “The don came. Don Luca cam
The Mafia's Klepto Bride Torture room
LUCA'S POV My shoes clacked against the stoned floor as I walked into the small shelter where I had discovered years back and made mine.I probably looked like a murderer or an assassin with the way that my cloak seemed to blend in with the night. Good. I felt like a murderer anyway and I was entering this building with every intention to kill.After I drove Elena home, I helped her to bed, made sure she was fine, and left as soon as she dozed off.Exactly 12:07 am now.“Don Luca…” someone's voice came from the shadows matching my steps as I neared my destination.“Yes, Lorenzo?” I asked, twirling my keys around my index finger while my eyes were fixed straight ahead.“The men are clearing up the scene and they're almost done”“And who's my guest for tonight?” I asked, stopping at the door.“The driver. The last car to tumble over. Thankfully he had only sustained a few hits to the head so he's alive and in the perfect shape to talk. We've…treated him good already” Lorenzo's voice dr
The Mafia's Klepto Bride Chapter 81: A saviour
ELENA'S POV “Hold on!” Luca yelled from his car before he rolled his window up just as a bullet bounced on it.Fuck, that was close. I had always wondered why he had made all his cars bulletproof and now I was seeing why.Lorenzo who was still returning fire turned to me. “The boss?” He yelled over the sound of tires and guns.I gripped the steering tighter. “Yes!”Looking into the rearview mirror, I spied 5 enemy cars. 5. Okay, that was still a lot.Luca's car sped up, overtaking mine and speeding to the front of the road where the alley ended.What in the fuck was he doing.Lorenzo stopped shooting and looked at what was happening, a look of confusion on his face.“Wait, pull over!” He suddenly yelled at meI didn't turn to look at Lorenzo but my eyes widened. “Are you crazy, they're right behind us!”Luca's car reached the mouth of the alley and with a skilled drift of his car, he swerved his car to the side to block the entrance of the alley.How were we supposed to leave?! What
The Mafia's Klepto Bride Chapter 80: We've got tails
ELENA'S POV“Get me all the information you can on him, leave no stones unturned” I said to Lorenzo a few days later as I packed up my stuff in the bar where I now worked as a mixologist as planned.Lorenzo had been sent to drive me back home and he was walking me out of the bar already when Bianca came up to me.“Elena, can I talk to you for a second?”I nodded and told Lorenzo that I'd be out in a minute before going to meet her at the door.“What?” I asked, folding my hands across on my chest.It had been a week since Luca had a crash and he was discharged two days after so I had resumed work three days back and so far, I had no problems with Her, she even seemed nice.“Look about that day in the hospital. I'm sorry. I just lost it when I found out you had a connection with the person who tried to kill my boss. Don Luca has helped a lot of people so when I did my research and I found out that you knew him… I just assumed the worst. Was he your friend? I saw a photo of you both year
The Mafia's Klepto Bride Chapter 79: Hidden agendas
ELENA'S POVI had been here for about 20 minutes already and the atmosphere was silent as I had placed my head on the bed frame, letting his run his fingers through my hair.After he had told me that, we hadn't spoken about it. I was silent and so was he. We just stayed in the calm environment saying nothing.“You know… I want you to hate me he suddenly spoke up and that made me want to raise my head up but his strong arms pulled me down.Another testament to how weak I was. He was injured and still far stronger than I was.“What the fuck does that mean? Why would you want me to hate you?” I asked confused.“Because then I'd know that what my dad said was true. He used to tell me that I was unlovable and I did believe him so tell me how it's possible that you love me?” His grip on my head loosened.I used the opportunity to release myself from his grip. “You're not. You're the best thing that happened to me. We've both come out from homes that tried to restrict us from growing but th
The Mafia's Klepto Bride Chapter 78: A secret revealed
ELENA'S POV “NO! LET GO OF ME!” I trashed in Gareth's strong arms, tears brimming in my eyes.What had happened?I was at the bar one moment then I saw the news going on about a car crash. Luca's car.I had called and called but he hadn't answered so I quickly left with Gareth only to receive a call from Doctor Giovanni who said that Luca was in an accident and he thought I should know about it.Thankfully Gareth had raced to the hospital but now he didn't want me to enter the room. I couldn't even see the insides of the goddamn room.“Gareth, let me go” I thrashed in his arms, kicking wildly.“Ma'am, I think you need to wait for the doctor to give his permission for you to go in” he said, trying to make me see reason.I heard the sound of rushing feet and I turned around to see Bianca rush in, her hair messy and her eyes wild.“Is it true?” She asked.I turned my face the other way and I heard her gasp. “Oh fuck, is he alright?” She didn't wait for me to answer, she started marching
The Mafia's Klepto Bride Accident
LUCA'S POV “When you said you were coming over with your wife,I sure as hell wasn't expecting her” Bianca said, pouring me a glass of wine while she gave Elena who was looking around the club excitedly a glare.I took the glass from her and took a sip from it.“Don't say that again firstly and also she's the new mixologist. I'm here to tell you that you're in charge of her and no goddamn thing must happen to her”, I said, my eyes fixed on Elena who was sliding her hand across the counter.Bianca forced a smile and straightened up, the tiny shirt she wore hiking up to show her a bit of her bra.“When did you start dressing like that?”, I frowned at her.She looked down at her body like she hadn't realized what she was wearing. “Well it's a strip club after all”“Don't give me that shit, you're not one of the girls and you weren't wearing that before I came here” I frowned at her.Her smile faltered. “Oh, there's someone watching me?”“My club, remember?”“I also remember you entrusted
The Mafia's Klepto Bride A life for the kids
LUCA'S POV She was still staring at me with those large does eyes of hers and I was waiting for her response. “So why are you looking at me like I said something that was impossible” She blinked and relaxed her head on my shoulder. “It's a bit surprising that you want to employ me in your club or bar or whatever. Is it safe?” I nodded immediately, stroking her hair. “Completely. The woman in charge, she'll take care of you and you know I won't ever put you in a place where your safety isn't guaranteed” She was clearly thinking about something judging by the little creases on her lips. “I do wanna know though. How are you comfortable trusting me with this, In your space when you know what I am” she raised her eyes to me and I melted at the sight. When did I get this smitten over this woman? “You're not a what, Elena. I don't know what you think you are but I know who you are and do you wanna know who you are?” I kissed her forehead softly. She nodded, her eyes fluttering close f
