All Chapters of Taming the Mafia King: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Chapter 41: Bonding over the KidsRegina’s P.O.V          “What’s with the long face?” Joel asked as he came around the kitchen counter to take a seat opposite to me.The entire mansion was already dark and quiet and I could hear the crickets chirping from miles away, along with the barks of a few dogs on the empty streets outside the mansion. Most of the guards stationed inside the house were already fast asleep since it was around two in the morning, but the patrol guards outside were very much awake.I had thought that I was the only person awake at this instant, but turns out, Joel was still performing his babysitting duties.Grabbing another glass from the cabinet, I passed it over to him, along with the entire fancy glass jug filled with whisky that I had found right towards the back of the wine cabinet. The smell alone told me that it was

Chapter 43: The Promise of the ButterflyRegina’s P.O.VIt was almost five in the afternoon and I was about ready to give up on my parents.Seriously? I was sixteen! Who on earth needed to be picked up from high school by their parents at this age? Not to mention that my boyfriend was the hottest guy in the soccer team! He’d dump me the instant he found out I was being picked up by my mom!And to top it all off, my mom was about one and a half hour late! The entire area was totally deserted and the school gates were about to be closed any time now. The only comfort I had in standing all alone on this deserted street was the fact that the teachers and the guard was still inside. But if my mom was another ten minutes late, then everyone will be gone and I’d be taking the bus home, no matter how much I had to listen to their lecture later on.No way was I waiting for her if this place gets an-

So this note is for those who might find it a little weird that a girl might become obsessed with a man on a whim and want it so badly to the point of going to such great lengths as to harming herself to get what she wants. If you think this is purely fictional and doesn't happen...it totally does. And it was something that had happened with me...just not to that extreme. Why am I sharing this? Well, because it was something that kinda inspired the previous chapter. When I was in high school, 11th grade, we had a lot of new students from different schools. It's normal here in India as kids often change schools after 10th grade. That was when this one guy, lets call him Ben, transferred schools and came to be in the same class as me. I literally had no idea he existed because I wasn't friends with him or with any of his group members. However, I had no idea that he had noticed me and...maybe started to obsess over me? Later that month, he joined the same physics tuition classes that

Chapter 46: The PromiseDraco’s P.O.VI stood outside the cabin door, my hands fisted by my sides as I tried to steady my heartbeat.Never in my life had I thought that I’d ever be in a situation where I would be forced to do something that I had never had any intention of doing.For over ten years…I had searched for the woman, who had been the light in my life; who had literally saved my life by giving me her lucky pendant. And today, not only did I need that pendant; I needed that woman beside me as well.But as my luck would have it…I didn’t have either by my side. Neither my farfalla…nor her pendant.Taking a deep breath, I raised my hand and knocked on the door three times to let the person inside know that I was going in, before I opened the door a crack. The woman sleeping on the hospital bed didn’t see me at first. Her face was turned in the opposite direction and there were several tubes stuck to her body. Her left wrist was bandaged up tightly and it looked like she had just

Chapter 48: EngagedDraco’s P.O.V“Sire…it’s an engagement…not a funeral.”Gabriele wore a light brown jacket and formal pants with a sky blue shirt underneath. He had even gelled back his hair and appeared to be even better groomed than I did. His mood was certainly better than mine.“Then why don’t you replace me as the groom?” I told him straight away, adjusting the collar of my black tuxedo that I had worn over a black shirt and formal black pants.“Sire…I wish I could.” He bowed his head. “If there was any way I could help you out of this situation then I would have…but Donatello and I couldn’t come up with a solution in time.”I nodded, looking at my reflection in the mirror with distaste. I wasn’t happy at all and I think it showed on my face.Donatello had understood well when I told him that I wanted this event to be as private as possible. Any guests at all and there would be consequences.I didn’t want Gina finding out about this…I didn’t want anyone in the world finding ou
