All Chapters of The Mafia Widow: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"A villain always preferred luring the heroine to his lair."-Susan Elizabeth Phillips-***“You seem distracted.” Lucas said as he sat in the hospital’s room seat.“What do you mean by that? I am perfectly fine. I got shot on my shoulder, not my head.” He replied with a hint of sarcasm.“That’s not what I mean. I saw the way you looked at Victoria when she came over. You definitely wasn’t acting around. You were truly smitten with her.”“I don’t know what you are talking about. If I’m going to seduce her, isn’t it better to make it appear as realistic as possible. If you thought I looked genuine it means my acting is believable, because there is no way I am smitten with that woman.” Lucas sighed.This man could deny it all he wanted but he saw something sparked in his eyes the moment Victoria stepped inside the room. It was completely out of character for him and Lucas was getting really worried about it.“Just remember the reason why you are around her in the first place. If you fal

"One thorn of experience is worth a whole wilderness of warning."-James Russell Lowell-***“I never thought this day would come. The day when I finally meet you face to face after the humiliation you did to my family on the day you broke off your engagement with my daughter.” The man spoke with hatred and disappointment in his eyes.“And I never thought you would accept an invitation to meet with me. For that, I would like to thank you.” Ian stated. It was a miracle that Charles Dawn was willing to meet on the neutral ground.Of course, only when he was accompanied by ten bodyguards on his side, all private military trained. The man would never slack off when it came to his own safety. Ian himself also brought ten of his men so it would be an equal number.“Just tell me what our business here is so I can get back home sooner.” Charles spoke, slowly losing his patience. He poured

"Maybe I'm scared because you mean more to me than any other person. You are everything I think about. Everything I need. Everything I want."-Unknown-***“We already did a background search on the guy you mentioned before, but there was nothing on him. We only knew that he came from an Iranian immigrant parents and was raised in an orphanage until Wilfred took him in but after that, nothing. We couldn’t even find where this man’s academic record.” Lucas reported.“That’s impossible, are you sure about that?” He asked.“Yes, we even tried to find additional information on the internet but this man doesn’t have any digital trace. No email, no social media, nothing. The only thing he has is a phone number but there was only one person on his contact, Victoria. This man is like a ghost.” He stated. It was the moment that all his suspicions were confirmed.There is no way a man cautious enough to hide his identity from the rest of the world except for his childhood background could be a

"There's nothing more precious in this world than the feeling of being wanted."-Diana Dors-***“She hasn’t replied to any of my messages or answer my calls. I thought I’ve given her a little warning on my last trip to her office. I thought our relationship were getting better. What else does she want!?” He asked out of frustration.“That’s it, I can’t live like this anymore. I need to visit her in person and make it clear to her that she isn’t going to ignore me like this. I won’t accept it.” That day, he went to visit her house. When it was opened, instead of her, Ian saw Darius.“What are you doing here?” Darius asked with a displeased expression.“I’m meeting with Victoria, back off.” He growled.“I won’t let you do that. You are not going to meet Victoria.” Darius spoke again.“Listen

"Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't going away."-Elvis Presley-***“I told you, Madame, this is a really bad idea.” Darius finally expressed himself as they were riding on Lucas’ car to Ian’s house. Victoria already knew it was a bad idea but she couldn’t bring herself to let Ian suffered on his own.She was having a mental conflict, on one hand, he was a murderer but on another hand, she also cared for him. Not long after, they finally arrived at Ian’s house.Darius was on the lookout and he made sure to remain close to Victoria as they entered the house.There were several men with guns on standby but Lucas had told them to do nothing as these two were guests of the house.Victoria entered the house and she saw Ian laying on the bed, he was awake but his face was still pale. A small smile escaped his lips when he saw her and he softly called her name.“I’m glad you’re here Victoria.” She slowly took steps forward. Darius was about to prevent her fr
