All Chapters of Mafia's Dangerous Addiction: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

I gave a small sigh as Vector returned to where I was standing, my eyes fixed on the pool. Hillary and Manuel were still there, and they were sitting side by side now, her hand lightly touching his."When did that happen?"I turned to him, then shrugged. "This morning."Vector gave a small laugh. "Manuel was never the type for rebounds. This is surprising."My brows furrowed. "Rebounds?""Mhm. She is a rebound. You don't think so?"I bit down on my lips. Of course I did. I knew she was a rebound. He saw an opportunity, and he took it. I felt terrible because it was obvious house that she actually did like him."I... why do you think so?"Vector shrugged and moved away from me. "I know. I know he is in love with you, too. And I know that kiss meant a lot more to him than it did to you."I turned to Vector. "Yet...""Yes. Yet. Because Manuel would never try to take something I want. If it was anything else, I would have given it to him. Just not you."I swallowed. "I feel bad for Hillar

If I had known dinner would be this awkward, I would have taken Vector up on his lffer and skipped it. Even though Vector was blissfully unaware and kept feeding me, it was hard to ignore the dead quietness between Hillary and the usually chatty Manuel. It felt almost like none of them wanted to be there."Did something happen that I am not aware of?"I swallowed. "Maybe it's the burial. It's a pretty heavy incidence."Vector nodded. "So, uhm, Hillary?"She looked up from her untouched plate, her eyes wide. "Yes?""Do you want to go back to Central Hospital?"Her brows furrowed lightly. "Do you mean... my job post?""Yes. If not, I have an offer for you."I saw her eyes brighten up. "Yes?""You could work in one of my companies. I will give you a recommendation."Hillary gave a squeal, and I broke into a laugh, the ice breaking for the first time since we came down for dinner."Really? Are you serious?""Yes," Vector said, his expression neutral. He was right about me being the only

I was distracted the entire time as I sat with Hillary, who seemed to enjoy my company. I did feel a little sorry for the fact that I wasn't giving her full attention when the main purpose of this was just that. I sighed, running my hands through my hair, a small sigh escaping me."That's the ninth one. One more till you break a record."I sighed, and she broke into a laugh. "You did it, Red. Maybe you should tell me what's wrong with you."I shook my head slowly. "I am just worried for Vector. He seemed like he was doing something dangerous when he left.""Call him," she said with a shrug. "What if that gets in his way or something?"She gave a sigh and sat up, her eyes meeting mine. "What do you want to do, then? Even if I do let you go, it wouldn't help anything. You should call him. It's been an hour."I sucked in my bottom lip, then slowly stood up. "I will be back."She gave me an understanding nod, and I walked past her and out of the room. The rest of the house felt eerily q

I held on to Hillary as she struggled to stay standing, her chest heaving as she cried into her palm. I swallowed hard as the prayers continued till the priest was finally done, and the graves were slowly lowered.Suddenly, I heard the revving of a car engine. I turned as everyone else did, just as Vector's car came to the burial grounds. It stopped, and the door opened. I watched keenly, my heart skipping beats randomly as I watched him. Slowly, he got out of the car, and I gasped, my eyes wide. He was still wearing the white suit he had worn to go out, but it was deeply stained with blood that it was hardly white now.His eyes were set in ice as he slowly covered the distance, wearing dark spectacles on his eyes. I could hear the gasos of horror, the hushed whispers, and the speculations flying around.If Vector cared, he didn't show it, as he covered the distance and took my hand. I swallowed, turning back to the graves. The coffins were now six feet under, and Hillary went tondro

When I went up, Vector was in the shower, and I sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for him to come out of it. He took a bit of time, but he soon emerged, his eyes thin, his hair ruffled and wet, a towel wrapped around his waist.He didn't acknowledge me and started to walk the opposite way to the main door when I ran up to him, my hand spread on either side of me, my eyes wide."Hey, hey... big boy.""Red, not now," he said, meeting my eyes. "You and Manuel keep acting like I am the most heartless of men out there, and I am not able to process basic human decency.""No, sweetheart. I swear. Maybe Manuel just knows that you can. You feel strongly about this and...""Don't sweettalk me. After years of trust, you are the one he finally tells the truth about his mother. Should I be scared of his feelings for you, too?""Vector," I said, my eyes pleading. "I swear, that isn't it. He wanted to keep his mum away. She abandoned him, and he thought, keeping her away would be granting her wis
