All Chapters of Love In The Underworld: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I rubbed my tired eyes and mustered up the energy to respond to my father's call. "I'm coming, Dad," I shouted back, my voice laced with reluctance.Reluctance to face the life that was thrust upon me, where my own desires were overshadowed by the demands of my father's mafia empire.Dragging my feet, I made my way downstairs, the weight of the impending meeting pressing down on my shoulders. The grandeur of the house, adorned with expensive furniture and ostentatious decorations, only served to emphasize the stark contrast between the world I longed for and the one I was trapped in.I wish I could just be a pet cat of a normal family—no worries about anything but sleeping, eating, and playing.But there was nothing to do now that I was born into a complicated family as a human.The atmosphere at home was suffocating, filled with the scent of cigar smoke and the hushed whispers of conversations held behind closed doors.As I entered the living room, I caught a glimpse of myself in the

As the private jet touched down in Los Angeles, the city of angels welcomed us with its glittering skyline.Bruno, always one to make a statement, had chosen the opulent Grand Royale Hotel as the venue for the fundraising party. This five-star haven exuded luxury from every corner, its grandeur befitting the elite guests who would grace its halls tonight.Stepping out of the sleek black limousine, I wasn't sure if I still wanted to attend the party after the intense conversation with Bruno.No matter what he said, his intention was clearly to implant fear into my heart, and I couldn't say he quite failed.This event, organized by Bruno but executed by one of his trusted associates, aimed to raise funds for orphanages, an unlikely cause for a man known for his ruthlessness.Yet, deep within his hardened exterior, Bruno found a flicker of compassion, a connection to the struggles he had faced in his own upbringing.The hotel's entrance gleamed with polished marble, reflecting the warm g

Chapter 5: Whispers of LoveThe words from Luca echoed in my mind, "I'm going to make you mine and mine alone.” That's what he said, and each day I kept faith and hoped that I would wake up every morning to see him by my side.His unwavering devotion filled my heart with warmth, even amid the darkness that surrounded us. I yearned for a future where we could be together, free from the chains that bound us to this ruthless world. But for now, we have to keep it quieter, we didn't want Bruno to find out. Luca, a man of compassion and healing, was a beacon of light in my life. As a doctor, he dedicated himself to alleviating the suffering of others, a stark contrast to the world of darkness and violence I was immersed in. He brought a sense of peace and hope into my existence, reminding me that there was more to life than the twisted machinations of power. I liked feeling his eyes on me when I looked away. He was such a lovable person.One of Luca's passions was photography. He had

Chapter 7: Unveiling My Hidden Skills"A new day starts with darkness. We should learn to start new beginnings using our darkest side. Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world. Learn to make things go your way. The weak don't survive here." I think my dad should have been a psychology professor or something like that. Every morning before I started my day, I always remembered one of the quotes he always said to me. Well, life has its way of dealing with me. That was why I was so tired right now to leave my room. In the aftermath of the turmoil that had consumed our lives, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery, uncovering hidden talents that would transform me into a formidable force. The deal I agreed with Nicolas still rang in my head every day. It echoed the thoughts of betrayal to me, but I refused to be a mere pawn in this dangerous game.I delved deeper into the dark underbelly of Bruno's empire, determined to unearth my own potential. I sought guidance from seas

Chapter 9: Confronting Truth "You're the only one who can sincerely question or judge yourself." Being in constant denial of the truth has always been the story of my life since I started to stay with Bruno. The thoughts of betraying him left a lingering sense of unease within me. I keep being anxious and worried that one day he will find out what I have been up to and how I always go to see Luca every day."Are you alright?" Luca asked looking at me straight in the eyes. Luca is one person that always reads me and somehow knows what I need at the moment or maybe he can sense something is wrong. Even though he doesn't know the right word to say, he always does something to make me feel a bit better."I don't know, I feel dizzy," I replied"Are you feeling low blood pressure? Do you want to get some food and water?" he asked, extremely worried.As I looked at him, I saw how adorable and lovely he was. I couldn't stress him more by saying no."Of course, please get me something. I'm s
