Semua Bab The Mafia Widow: Bab 31 - Bab 40

"Nothing hurts more than being disappointed by the person you thought would never hurt you."-Unknown-***“I know you don’t like Darius, but you have no right to drag him into this matter.” She was getting more and more upset by what she thought was a huge accusation against the people she loved. At the same time, Victoria was a rational woman, she was willing to hear out his reasoning as long as his words made sense.“I told you before, that Darius of yours isn’t the man you think he is. He has a lot of secrets on his hand that I am sure you aren’t aware of. That is a matter for later, but for now, what I want you to know is your husband has not been innocent, so it’s wrong for you to treat me like this when your own husband has kept secrets from you for over ten years.” He reasoned.“I know you wouldn’t believe me, so I suggest you ask that butler. See what kind of answer he will come up with. He probably wouldn’t lie to you if you hit the bullseye but he will do whatever it takes

"The important thing to know about an assasination or an attempted assasination is not who fired the shot, but who paid for the bullet."-Eric Ambler-***It was almost midnight, Darius was done checking every corner of the house when he suddenly heard a sound from above that seemed to come from Victoria’s room.He quickly rushed in there and saw the window’s glass shattering and a little bullet was found on the pillow just a few millimeters beside her.They looked outside and saw a man on top of the roof with a gun. The man noticed he had missed and quickly made an attempt to run away.Still sitting on the bed, Victoria tried to catch her breath. She couldn’t believe that she just escaped death.The man must have aimed for either her neck or her head but missed because she moved during her sleep exactly when he released the bullet. It must have been her good fortune, otherwise, she would be dead by then.“Madame, are you okay? Forgive me, I have been reckless. I should have changed t

"Sometimes, after a storm, people say there was no warning. There was a warning, but nobody was listening."-Jeff Last-***“Fine, I will tell you, but I don’t think there is much you can do with this information anyway.” She replied back. Darius didn’t like the idea of it at all, but Ian thought differently.“You never really know until you try.” He replied back. Victoria exchanged a gaze with Darius and reassured him that it would be fine. Even if Ian had evil intention, she wanted to believe he wouldn’t try to make her life more miserable than it was already.“Two days ago, someone made an assassination attempt on me when I was sleeping. It was something we never predicted. I almost got killed but managed to survive because I moved right when the bullet was about to hit me. It was a really close call.” She got the chills as she recalled what happened that night.

"Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a meaning."-Unknown-***Victoria was back from shopping and she went to check the time. It turned out there was still some time for dinner with Ian. Darius who saw her looking at her phone about to call someone immediately noticed what was happening.“Madame, you don’t have to call him. You can just make up all sort of excuse to not see him. That man isn’t good for you, Madame.” He said in almost a pleading tone.“I’ve made my promise and I need to do what I can to fulfill it.” She hated lying and would try to avoid it on as many chances as possible. As much as she didn’t want to admit it, she had to fulfill her promise.She picked up her phone and called Ian. The man picked up within seconds. He must be expecting her as well. His husky voice was heard from the other side of the line.“I knew you would call me. I have made a reservation at your favorite restaurant. If you want to, I can come there and pick you up.” He offer

"Those we love never truly leave us. There are things that death cannot touch."-Jack Thorne-***“How in the world did this happen?” Charles Dawn had never been that upset to his children before but when he saw his eldest son with a gun-shot wound in his legs and his daughter had a hand mark on her neck.Charles wasn’t sure who he was more upset at, his own children or the person who did this to them. Deep down, he knew that there had to be a reason why they were beaten up like that and it was most likely their fault. However, they were still his children.“It’s Octavian, he attacked us.” Cedric replied.“And what exactly did you do to him again this time?” Charles asked with fury in his eyes. Catherine didn’t want to be blamed by it, she gave a puppy stare to her brother and Cedric immediately spoke on her behalf.“It was my idea. There is this wom
