All Chapters of The Mafia's Lover: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

  *   I slammed the now busted up bat in the face of the last guy standing between me and Hugo.   "Wow, worked up quite the work out here. So... You were saying?" I looked back at Hugo    It was obvious that he was shaken but I believe he didn't want me to see his weak side.   "S-so you really are that Adira." Hugo started.   "Look, I'll tell you the truth. It's all my Dad's doing, when he found out we were together he was furious and I had to break up with you, it was so hard on me then, he said you weren't strong enough to handle his empire..." He started rambling.   "And and... When he heard that Wong Shin adopted you as his daughter he snapped, he already had an old grudge against the old man and set up an assassination team to wipe you all out..." Memories of the fire flooded my mind and my blood began to boil afresh.  

 * (Fast-forward to a month later) It's been a month of rigorous planing and thankfully Tina hasn't gotten wind of what we've been up to. I was able to resume work after a week of house arrest and during that time I was able to achieve a lot thanks to Francesca. She helped narrow down places that Hugo visited and was usually seen, making it easier for our sting operation. Since I couldn't go out for obvious reasons I sent Stephanie to stalk him for a while.  As risky as it was for both parties, Susan was able to control herself and hold back on breaking a few of Hugo's bones. Since if we were going to attack, we were doing to attack where it hurts the most, in other words where the sun don't shine. This would be my best revenge yet. I parked my car in front of the manor as usual, everything was going according to plan an

  *   I nodded and looked at Stephanie, she stood up and I followed at the back. We got out and met the police, Bethany who was now the chief of police looked at me seriously.   Before I knew what was happening, Bethany screamed and tackled me into a bear hug. I almost forgot how hyperactive she was, she might be a police officer now but she would always be the super active little sister I never had.   "You never call me and when you do it's a favour to arrest you. Are you crazy!?" Bethany screamed.   I laughed at how cute she was, her deputy beside her facepalming his self as he lived the drama in front him.   "It's nice to see you too Bethany. How are you?" I asked her with a smile.   "Great, I've been recommended by the force to work with the Interpol. I'm going to be chasing foreign and dangerous criminals." She said excitedly.  

 * We immediately rushed Tina to the hospital and found out that she wasn't actually shot but she fell into some glass near by. I couldn't help but think that most of what happened was my fault. I'd I had involved Tina from the beginning she would have had a different approach and a higher success rate. I waited outside the operation room for hours, Susan and Stephanie too, since they both felt responsible as well. After a while the operation room light went off and the doctor came out, I rushed toward him in anticipation. "There's nothing to be worried about, the glass pierced an old wound, that's all. We took out the glass and restitched the wound, she should wake up in a few hours." The doctor explained. I felt so relieved that I lost a grip on my legs as I collapsed on the ground, Susan and Stephanie both came by my side and picked me up.

 * It's been three days since I was last at the manor. As I was handling all my work from home, I left the responsibility of the manor to Tina and all legal transaction has been handed over to Stephanie. Which meant less work for me and I had enough time to prepare and get ready to take a break. I was finally going home. My Home. I took off my bag from the bed, picked up my glasses and keys at the front door as I proceeded to my car. I was going to miss the sound of my baby after I'm gone but I'll miss the kids at the manor more and everyone in it. I walked out into the beautiful sunny weather as I threw my keys towards Betty who would be acting as my valet driver. "Good morning Adira." I smiled at her calling me by my first name. "Good morning Eleanor, I trust you had a good night's sleep." I said getting into the back of th
