Torn Between Two Mafia Chapter 139
Consciousness rushes back to Jenny like a tidal wave. It's as if she's awakened in the midst of a snowstorm, or as if her body is engulfed in flames. Every nerve in her body screams, reminding her she's alive. Alive.Once the initial flood of overwhelming sensations subsides, she begins to notice the details in the room. First, she feels a smooth, small hand in hers, then hears the rhythmic beeping of a heart monitor to her right. The scent of antiseptic fills the air, and she suddenly realizes her mouth is incredibly dry."Water?" she croaks, managing to pry her eyes open, finding Malia standing above her, her hand shaking in Jenny's."Oh my god," Malia exclaims, turning and shouting into the hallway. Jenny flinches back into the pillow, unable to catch all of what Malia says, but it results in a swarm of medical professionals entering, all looking perplexed. Jenny feels like joking about the gunshots being a surprise to her, too, but her dry mouth prevents her from speaking properly

As Alexander finally stepped into the room, he laid eyes on Jenny for the first time in days. Guilt had overwhelmed him, fearing she might not survive the attack. He was both shocked and awed by Jenny's bravery when she pushed him aside and took those bullets with such courage. Never before had he witnessed such an act of selflessness, especially from someone so close to him.Alexander replayed the day's events repeatedly, haunted by the memory of Jenny being shot three times by Jessica, who was supposed to be her sister. But then again, Alexander considered, no one in her adoptive family had truly been family to her, except perhaps her mother.He often wondered if he could have acted differently but always arrived at the same conclusion. Jenny was unpredictable—a trait he admired but which also made it difficult for him to protect her from those who wished her harm, particularly Bloody Sapphire and her adoptive family.He could never grasp their family dynamic. How could they treat h

One year later."Thank you for coming," the lawyer said, glancing down at his paperwork while adjusting his predictably dull brown suit. Alexander sat beside Jenny, comforting her with a squeeze of her hand. Both were dressed more formally than necessary for the occasion, as they had a significant event to attend afterward."I understand it's been nearly a year since the passing of Eduardo, Jessica, and Julius Swift. We appreciate your patience while we collaborated with the police and other authorities to settle the estate. We are now prepared to proceed with the distribution."Alexander offered Jenny a reassuring squeeze of her hand and exchanged a supportive glance before she turned her attention back to the lawyer, eager to hear what she stood to inherit from her parents."Eduardo Swift's will stated that his entire estate was to be passed on to his wife, Sharon. However, due to her absence during the initial sorting, the estate was set to enter the public domain. Fortunately, a r
Torn Between Two Mafia Chapter 1 Step-brother
Anxiety weighed heavily on Jenny as she scanned the hallway, searching faces to see if anyone noticed. Seeing no curious glances directed their way, she focused back on Kevin, who was nervously biting his lower lip and scratching the back of his head."I've really enjoyed being your lab partner these past months," Kevin said, bowing his head slightly, causing his golden-brown curls to spill over his forehead. Jenny felt like she had to look up at the sky just to meet his eyes. "Would you be interested in going on a date with me?"Her stomach tightened, a colorful swirl of caution and delight rushed through her mind. Kevin's eyes remained steady and serene as they searched her face, and Jenny wanted to respond in a way that would make him smile again.Before she could answer, someone stepped between them. Recognizing the familiar cologne first, she stepped back instinctively upon realizing it was her brother, Julius."Julius," Jenny said, trying to step aside to catch Kevin's gaze agai
Torn Between Two Mafia Chapter 2 Over-protective
The sight of the bright red blood on the wall made her stomach turn. With no other option in mind, she begrudgingly began to walk to her next class, unsure of what else to do.By the time she entered pre-calc, the bell had already rung. Keeping her head down, she hurried to her seat, relieved when her teacher didn't acknowledge her. Perhaps she didn't care or was simply afraid of Julius, just like everyone else.Jenny let her platinum waves fall over her face as she sank into her seat. She carefully lowered her bag to the floor and quietly took out her books and supplies, doing her best not to make any noise. The last thing she wanted was to draw unwanted attention.The usual laughter and chatter had devolved into hushed whispers. She could tell they were discussing her, Kevin, and Julius as rumors about the incident spread like wildfire throughout the school.Feeling their judgmental gazes on her, Jenny struggled to focus on what Mrs. Carnings was saying about last night's homework.

Julius's car is a brand-new luxury vehicle gifted to him by their parents for his nineteenth birthday. The interior is lined with smooth leather and rich scents, enveloping Jenny the moment the door clicks shut. Despite the laughter and chatter spilling from the school courtyard, where Julius and Richard might be engaged in a heated argument, she hears none of it through the thick walls of metal and glass.Through the windshield, Jenny watches as Julius strides confidently toward the driver's side, the tails of his blazer flowing behind him. His jaw is set in a determined line, exuding an air of certainty. It's not surprising; he knows that everyone at this school fears their family's influence and would think twice before crossing him. She recalls a time when Julius spat on the headmaster's polished leather shoes, and the headmaster had apologized to him, letting him leave school early.As he passes in front of the car, Julius runs a single finger along the hood. For a moment, Jenny
Torn Between Two Mafia Chapter 4 Beginning of his obsession
.Jenny stares in horror as Julius shakes his hand once, examining it as if he hadn't been the one to inflict the blow. The large ruby family ring on his third finger sits askew, and he adjusts it as they pull into the driveway. Her fingers glide over the burning welt on her cheek, the imprint of the ring still fresh and painful.Julius doesn't look at her as they approach the front gate of the house, his jaw clenching tightly. Despite all the times he had yelled at her or hurt others, it had never crossed her mind that she might someday be on the receiving end of his violence. She cups her palm over her cheek, already feeling the swelling begin. The welt and the quickly forming bruise will undoubtedly be visible to anyone who sees her upon entering, and if they notice the ring's mark, discerning the identity of her attacker will be all too easy.The looming gate ahead—an imposing forty-foot structure of wrought iron featuring the family crest in the center—feels like a prison door to

Jenny's hand instinctively rose to her bruised cheek. "Is that a bruise?" her mother gasped, immediately rushing to Jenny's side. "What happened?" she asked, gently taking Jenny's face in her hands. Before Jenny could fabricate an explanation, Julius interjected. "Clumsy Jenny tripped and fell onto the lockers today," he said in a light, teasing voice, his expression enough to intimidate. "Why didn't Richard take care of this?" her mother pressed.Jenny's face burned with humiliation, but she remained silent as her father clapped his hands to summon a waiter. "Bring Richard here," he commanded. Within moments, Richard appeared. "Explain," her father demanded coldly, "why my daughter has a bruise on her cheek and you did nothing about it."Richard maintained his composure. "I wasn't aware she had a bruise, sir." It was easy to see where Julius inherited his piercing stare from."You didn't notice the bruise on my daughter's cheek?" her father pressed further.Richard lowered his head i

"But—" Jenny began as Jessica lifted the gun toward her. She raised her hands in a gesture to halt Jessica. Her plan would fail miserably if Jessica shot her now, something she might actually do. Jenny glanced at Nancy and Luther, the guilt almost overwhelming. If they hadn't met her, they wouldn't be caught in this tragedy. Drawing a deep breath, she steadied herself."Let them go.""What?" Jessica said, her tears momentarily halting as unkempt hair fell across her shoulder. It was nothing like her usually impeccable style."Listen," Jenny urged, closing her eyes. "There's a safe behind that painting. It holds enough money to give you the life you dream of."Jenny had discovered the safe one day while cleaning and had hurried out to keep Alexander from knowing she saw it. She had once watched him access the safe, revealing stacks of cash and gold."If you release them," Jenny continued, sensing Jessica was listening intently. "I'll tell you the code. Alexander shared it with me in ca

Meanwhile, Jenny arrived back at the sprawling log mansion, which served as Alexander's secluded retreat for himself, his most trusted allies, his mother Nancy, and Luther. Her heart tightened with worry at the thought of innocent, defenseless Luther. It was her fault he was caught in this predicament. She needed to act quickly to save that precious boy; otherwise, nothing would ever be the same for anyone involved.She hurriedly stepped out of the car she had commandeered and sprinted along the path toward the mansion's entrance. Gazing up at the moon, she whispered a silent prayer for Luther, recalling the sparkle in his eyes and his sweet, warm smile, before stepping into whatever chaos awaited beyond those doors.A wave of dread washed over her as she entered. The mansion was littered with fallen guards. Moving quietly into the foyer, she navigated around Alexander's fallen crew, careful and respectful of the somber scene.A soft, choked sob emanated from the center of the mansion

"As soon as I'm done with work," Alexander had reassured him, wrapping Luther in a warm embrace. "I'll come right back. You and me, we'll go fishing, okay?"Luther nodded, hugged him tightly, and told him to enjoy his fishing trip. Alexander kissed his head, oblivious to the idea that someone might find Luther there. He reproached himself now for not fortifying security, knowing he had plenty of enemies. What had he said to Jenny about it?"People with a lot of enemies are usually crushed under that weight. People with a lot of enemies sometimes get set on fire."The vision of his home, his son, and his mother in flames filled him with blinding rage and anxiety. He shoved past a few allies in his haste, knowing he'd apologize later, once he knew Luther was safe. Few in the Dark Wolves, apart from Lemuel, Malia, and Dolf, even knew of his son. Rushing past Anton on a stretcher, Alexander couldn't focus on anyone other than Luther.He skidded to a halt in front of his SUV just as his ph

"Yeah," Alexander replies, moving behind the bar in search of a good bottle of whiskey. Lemuel settles onto one of the barstools. Meanwhile, their team continues rolling up bodies and taking them to the incinerator they had discovered—likely used by the Bloody Sapphire for disposing of their unwanted. It's a more discreet option than transporting truckloads of bodies to the river with dawn approaching."He must have caught wind," Alexander speculates, shaking his head as he pours their drinks. Even though the operation went as smoothly as planned, he can't shake the feeling that something is missing. He knows he won't rest until the head of this adversarial group is found and eliminated.Just then, Alexander spots a shadow moving stealthily through an upper area of the tavern he hadn't noticed before. Without a second thought, he raises his gun and fires, certain that none of their men would move with such secrecy. If they had discovered access to a concealed upper floor, they would h
Torn Between Two Mafia Chapter 134
The Bloody Sapphire were taken completely by surprise when Alexander and his team arrived at their location shortly after three in the morning. They had sent two men ahead to release poison gas into the tavern, with Lemuel assisting the team in fitting their sleek gas masks securely before they entered, allowing the gas time to disperse.Inside, nearly every man in the main area of the bar was found slumped over tables or crumpled on the floor. Alexander's team swiftly eliminated them with silenced bullets, avoiding any unnecessary delays. True to his promise, Alexander ensured the women were left unharmed. He noticed them collapsed over the men, some unconscious with a man's hand inappropriately placed.The women were carefully removed from the pile of bodies and moved to the side, where they were handcuffed to a radiator, in case any harbored loyalties to their group. After the situation was controlled, they planned to bring Jenny in to speak with them, hoping they would recognize h
Torn Between Two Mafia Chapter 133
Jenny catches a glimpse of Dolf and Julius still clashing across the room but disregards them as she lunges at her father's legs, knocking him down hard. She hears the sound of his chin hitting the ground along with a muffled curse before scrambling back on top of him. This time, she aims for his eyes, but he raises his forearms to block her fingers. A primal rage surges through her, a tidal wave of anger.As she lashes out, the memories of all he's put her through flood her mind: Julius's assault, the constant surveillance from the bodyguards, his refusal to believe her even when the truth was self-evident, blaming her for her mother's death, and punishing her by sending her to work for the Bloody Sapphire as if it were an appropriate response.Jenny rains down her fists and elbows upon him, aware that she's screaming but feeling disconnected from the sound escaping her throat. She feels like a whirlwind, a tornado, a storm poised to engulf him. She wants him to experience every ounc
