The Mob Boss’s Girl의 모든 챕터: 챕터 61 - 챕터 70

Luca I think about calling Laura but decide against it in the last minute. She's probably resting. What she went through wasn't easy, and to make things worse she still ended up being stabbed. I can't get over that. I can't unsee all the blood, and the knife slicing her arm. I was helpless and only stared. I let her sister hurt her. I can't move past this. I don't think I'll forgive myself for not acting quicker. Things with the family are worse than ever. Miguel left; he's disappointed in all of us. I won't say that I don't understand what he's going through. I'd be hurt too if I were in his position. What we did with him was unacceptable and I only wish that we had done things differently. But I can't change the past. I had a meeting in the morning and not having Miguel there took a toll on me. He never contributed much to our discussions, but knowing he was there was a comfort. It was having someone who was blood by my side. Today, I didn't have his support, and I felt his abse

I close the door behind me with a soft click. I didn't mean to get home this late, but Luca kept distracting me in hopes that I'd accept his offer and spend the night with him. The only reason why I didn't was because I truly hadn't told my parents about it. I don't want them to feel like I'm disrespecting them. Yes, Luca and I are engaged, but I'm still living with them. And while I'm living with them, I owe them an explanation. I have to inform them about my whereabouts, especially during these uncertain times that have everyone worrying. I start to tiptoe toward the stairs, but a light in the living room turns on and I know that I've been caught. I feel like a teenager again, sneaking out to meet with my friends. I don't even have to turn around to know that it's my mother. "I'm sorry," I start to say. "I was with Luca. We lost track of time.""I don't mind that," she says. "You're an adult. You can spend time with whoever you please. I do wish you had told me where you were go

When Brett and Victoria invited me to go to the mall, I didn't say no. I know that my parents and I agreed that I couldn't spend too much time in public places because of Mary, but the mall was different. There were too many people there and even if she followed me, she wouldn't be able to do a thing to me. Besides, I wasn't alone, and I was alert this time. I wouldn't let her lunge at me and slice me open with a knife.I meet them at the entrance. Things feel the same between us even though the last time I saw them was in the clinic. Well, I saw Brett there. Victoria never came inside my room to see me, so the last time I saw her was at the engagement party that went wrong. She seems a little awkward and I’m not sure why. Could it be that she’s embarrassed about not coming in? I understand it. If my best friend had been attacked by her own sister during her engagement party, I wouldn’t know how to handle all that either. Brett did, and he handled it really well, but I won’t criticiz

When I told Luca about what Mary had done, he made a drastic decision that I didn't disagree with. We should leave our parents' houses and move in together. It was the most sensible decision we could make considering the circumstances. Why should we keep living with our parents when our lives were in danger? Clearly I wasn't safe where I was even though I thought I was. If Mary broke in to destroy my room, she could have easily done that with me inside. I couldn't fight her if she came with a gun. She could easily shoot me. I don't know why he didn't suggest both of us living at his family house. It was more spacious and had double the security. I think it has something to do with his mother. He mentioned something that got me thinking even though he didn't elaborate. Something about her losing him if she didn't respect his decisions. I didn't ask what it was. In time, he would tell me if he wanted to. Finding an apartment wasn't hard. We had the money; all we needed was to find a

There’s nothing sweeter than waking up in your brand new home for the first time. I stretch my arms high above my head and yawn. I then sit in my bed and inhale the patchouli lingering in the air. It’s therapeutic. The spot beside me on the bed is empty. Luca told me last night that he’d have to leave extra early because of a meeting, so I’m only expecting him later. Meanwhile, I’m going to have to figure out what to do all day. I make the bed and then jump in the shower. I’m revitalized. I didn’t know that what I needed to feel better was a change of scenery until now. I spent a good while under the hot spray. The water helps me relax. It also helps me think. There isn’t much food in the house. That’s the one thing we don’t have enough of. Luca said I have to be careful, and that if I had to leave, I could ask Gregory to take me. He said it wasn’t supposed to be done all of the time but I think today I can make an exception. I’m excited and we need groceries. I could ask someone t
