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

Placing the fork down. Dante glanced over at Alessandro and asked, “How did it happen?”Alessandro knew he should have kept a keen eye on Daphnée, but it seems that they have gotten too close and she took advantage of him.Alessandro explained what had occurred until he found her and her behaviour after.Looking at him with his crossed fingers resting on the table, he asked, “From what you’ve said, Mario was part of this too.”Alessandro shook his head. “You know he would never double cross you.”Dante raised a brow. “That is what I thought. Now I am uncertain.”Raffael stepped in saying, “Boss, you know it spooked her after she was attacked. How many months has it been since she joined us and she now only decided to escape? Anyone could tell that Daphnée wouldn’t have just done this. Hasn’t she run the club as you’ve ordered?”Dante didn’t glance his way as he said, “I don’t recall hiring you to be a defence lawyer, Raffael. Daphnée had a choice and the chance she had to be on my goo

Daphnée groaned as she grew conscious.Opening her eyes, she stared at someone and when she realised who it was; she yelled and rolled off the bed.Dante leaned up on his elbow and asked, “Why are you on the floor?”Daphnée sat up and turned to him. She almost asked him why he was so ugly but asked instead, “Why are you in my bed?”“Your bed? This is my house,” he said. She got up and was embarrassed. She was still naked. They hadn’t given her anything to wear, but at least she was eating now.Dante sat up, saying, “I have something for you.”She looked at him as she covered herself up to her breast.Narrowing his eyes, he yanked the blanket away. “I’ve seen you naked so many times. Why are you hiding?”Looking down, she pulled the blanket back, saying, “I’m still a woman.”He scoffed. He reached to the night table and brought over a cup. Holding it in front of her, he said, “Drink it.”She hesitantly took the cup and looked inside.“What is it?” She asked, gazing at the white substa

Alessandro was swapped out with a new bodyguard named Gabriele, who was warned to keep his distance from Daphnée. Alessandro was to monitor her at the club, but other than that, the life she once had here in Italy was far worse.Daphnée closed the door as she stared at Gabriele, who was watching her ever move. SHe made her way to the kitchen after placing her bag down on the island and looked around for something to make.She had ready-made meals and popped one in the microwave, then made her way to the bathroom. Climbing in the shower, she stood there until the water turned cold, running the conversations she had with Mario and Alessandro.Tears started falling and her calm heart became chaotic. Her breathing became frantic.Daphnée crouched and hugged her knees, screaming at the top of her lungs as her body retraced the torture Dante had put her through.Gabriele heard the screaming from outside and opened the door with the code he got from Alessandro. He made his way to the bathroo

Placing the gun down in her hand on the table in front of her, Daphnée sighed and took off the ear protection muffs. Alessandro pressed the button which brought the target paper forward. He looked at her and said, “You are getting good but it works differently on a moving target.”Daphnée nodded her head, “Hopefully I don’t have to use it.”She adjusted her pants feeling very uncomfortable. Over the course of the few months that she’s been level-headed, she’s lost a lot of weight and she wasn’t happy about it.He saw the frown on her face and asked, “What’s wrong?”Daphnée glanced at him then looked away and said, “Nothing. Are you going to show me how to hit a moving target?”He nodded his head, “Sure but not now. The boss wants to see you.”It’s been months since the poison incident and that was the last she saw and heard from him.Shaking her head, she mumbled, “Can’t he just send a message?”Alessandro scoffed, Daphnée seemed to not want to be involved with him.“He didn’t give m

Dante woke up from a nap and felt slightly dizzy. The sound in his ears told him they were still in the jet on their way to Ukraine.Turning to his left, he saw Daphnée was asleep beside him and she had the oxygen mask on. Sitting up, he pulled the blanket off of himself and covered her with it. Looking behind them at Gabriele, he asked, “How long does she still have until the treatment is over?”Gabriele sat up and fixed his jacket, answering respectfully. “About two to three months left.”Dante nodded and faced forward, looking at Alessandro and Raffael, who were smirking.“What?” He asked.Alessandro shook his head and looked away.“Nothing, it just looks like you are starting to like her,” Raffael teased.Dante scoffed. He sat back and closed his eyes, saying, “It’s all in your imagination.&rdqu
