All Chapters of OMERTA: MAFIA'S VOW: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The second I made eye contact with Kaz, I knew something was up. His back was ramrod straight, his jaw clenched and those jarring heterochromia eyes of his were filled with anger. I glance at Lucia standing next to Nikki and Julia with five of my men surrounding her and get to my feet.Kaz cocks his head for me to follow him so we’re out of earshot and Dev joins us. As soon as we’re a distance away from everyone, Kaz takes my hand and puts something into it. “This again,” he says and I look at the object he’s placed in my hand.I knew what it was the second I felt it, but the intricate V inscription is what I widen my eyes at. “Where was this found?” I ask, holding up the bullet casing. “Was someone shot?”Kaz nods. “One of my men behind the building. Normally I wouldn’t be worried, but—”“One of my men was hit as well,” Dev says, clenching his fists. “Same bullet, same casin’.”I breathe out a sigh and inspect the casing, noting the same V placement as the one we found in the woods.

My heart is beating in my chest as Giovanni holds my hand. This is our first appointment together, the first one where he could actually join me. Of course, we’re flanked by different men, and Giovanni insisted I stay at his side, but I’ve gotten used to it.“Are you okay, Amoruccio?” Giovanni asks as we walk inside the private clinic. I turn my head to look up at him and smile. “Your palms are all sweaty.”“I’m just nervous,” I admit. “We’re finding out the sex of the baby today and I don’t know what to expect. What if they find something? What if Lucky suddenly developed an abnormality and what if it—”He silences my worry by placing a finger on my lips. “Everything is fine, amore, your worries are valid, but we both know he isn’t called Lucky for nothing.”“Or she,” I say with a smile, and he chuckles.“Or she. Now, let’s go and see our little miracle.” As we walked hand in hand down the hallway of the obstetrician's office, a mix of excitement and nervousness coursed through my v

Emilia finds herself entwined in a web of conflicting emotions. Pregnant with Andrei Tulvan’s child, she harbors resentment towards Kaius, Andrei’s mysterious older brother. Unaware of the mix-up, Emilia believes Kaius is just as heartless as Andrei, and she builds a wall of resentment toward him. Kaius, burdened by his family’s dark past and the sins placed on him, longs to protect Emilia from the shadows that haunt them both. The secret he carries fuels his desire to win her trust, but Emilia remains skeptical, unable to see past her misconceptions. As circumstances force them to spend more time together, Emilia begins to glimpse the kind-hearted man hiding beneath Kaius's tough exterior. The lines between animosity and attraction blur, igniting a spark that neither of them can ignore. Emotions run high as they navigate the complexities of their shared past. With each revelation, Emilia realizes that her heart may have been confusing Andrei for Kaius all this time. Is this what Ka

Kaius has been ignoring me since we touched down in Romania. We’re driving to God knows where with the two of us in the backseat while he’s on his phone talking in Romanian. I suppose I should be thankful for him ignoring me since I don’t have to deal with him, but I feel like I’m slowly losing my mind. A painful twinge pulls at my stomach, and I bite my lip to contain a gasp. I’m not used to silence in any form; I grew up in a rowdy Italian household where there was always something going on. So this right here…it makes me feel anxious as fuck and sick to my stomach. Not only that, but Kaius’ words from earlier are playing on repeat in my mind: “Unlike my brother, I don’t enjoy playing with his used toys?” What does that even mean? And why does he call me Angel so casually, as if he knows me? A shiver runs up my spine and goosebumps pucker all over my skin for some reason. I’m so damn on edge and I do not know if it’s because I’m in unknown territory or if it’s a pregnancy sympt

I open my eyes and immediately sit up, but a dull pain blooms on the side of my head. My hand goes to my throbbing head and I groan as white spots dance in my eyes. But even as I’m feeling this pain in my head, something feels…off.In other words, I feel great; rested.“What the hell?” I murmur, my eyes finally adjusting to the room. I’m under the covers dressed in a fresh set of silk pajamas and I feel clean. Did someone…bathe me?Shaking my head, I get up from the bed and my eyes fall on a metal IV stand next to the nightstand. Then I lift up my left hand and see the band-aid, confusing me even more. What the heck is going on here? How long have I been asleep for?I vow to find Kaius and ask him about what happened, but first I need the toilet. Why can’t I remember anything, though? Surely I couldn’t have been out for longer than a few hours. But why can’t I remember anything?After I’ve done my business, I wash my hands and walk outside my bedroom. As usual, there are two muscle he
