All Chapters of Mafia's Dangerous Addiction: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

An elderly woman stood by the door, her eyes wide as she looked between us, her brows lightly furrowed. I turned to Manuel, who now had a single tear running down his left cheek."Do I... know you?"Manuel sniffed, but Vector took the lead. "You will, soon. Could you let us in?"She nodded, then slowly moved away from the door, her legs rather shaky. Vector ushered us in, and Manuel went first, followed by me. Vector lingered by the door, then slowly leaned to the woman."Do you need help?""Why, you are so kind. My legs are rather weak."Vector gave a small smile, then held her hand and walked her to the couch."Thank you very much, son."Vector sat next to me, then sighed. "Son?"She smiled. "I apologize. I always call everyone that.""Don't you have one?"She opened her mouth, then hesitated, and shook her head. "No, I..."She hadn't finished before Manuel stood up and started to head for the door."Manuel," Vector said, his voice low and threatening.The woman turned slowly to Man

We stayed with them till sunset and way past that, too. Manuel was almost too reluctant to leave, especially since the children came back home, and they were immediately all over him, bringing their toys to show him.It was beautiful to watch, and I got on the floor with them and joined in on the fun. Anne was pleased and kept packing homemade food for us to go with, saying it has forever heen her mother's dream to pack those for Manuel. He had to eat two portions for Emma, too.Manuel gladly accepted it, with a promise to return tomorrow. I knew he would. I almost wanted to go with him, too.I sighed as we got in the car, and Vector leaned back, his hand coming to his head. "That was such a beautiful environment, Manuel."Manuel smiled, then turned to Vector. "Thank you, Vector. So much. I would have missed out on this one more day."Vector smiled. "At least one of you is finally acknowledging me."I broke into a laugh as Manuel smiled, too. "You are such a whiny baby."Vector rolle

"What?" I asked, my brows furrowed. "But why?"He shrugged. "I found my family. I think it's time to...""You talk like you were a stray dog that was picked up until your owners come to claim you.""Red. You are being hurtful.""No. You know you are the only one Vector truly trusts. You are going to hurt him too, and you know leaving him isn't what he had in mind when he insisted you reunite with your mother. I doubt he would ever stop you from going to meet them, but...""You are worried about Vector being hurt, but what about me, Red?""What?"He sighed, closing his eyes. "I don't want to talk about this. I will see Vector when he is awake."He turned away and started to walk away, but I went after him, holding his hand in place. He stopped, a sigh escaping his lips."Manuel, talk to me at least. Please. What went so wrong?"He turned to me, his eyes darting slowly across both of mine. "I... I just want to be able to keep my loyalty to Vector, Red. It's getting increasingly harder f

I stepped back from the spread as Hillary ran around to me, a small smile on her face. I was glad that she looked much happier, a small twinkle in her eyes as she turned back to the table.I held her hand, then gave a small sigh. "Thank you for helping out, Hillary."She gave a small sigh. "Do you think he would be impressed?""Maybe. But we won't know if we don't try. I really hope he will understand and stay back. Even if not for me, then for you, Hillary," I said, but I was hoping he would stay for me too. Just so he would stay my friend. Just so he wouldn't hurt Vector by leaving."Red?"I turned to Vector, and his eyes were thin as he took in the spread. "What's all of this? Are we celebrating something?"I shrugged. "Maybe we should before the dinner later tonight. And... I want to tell you something."Vector's eyes moved between me and Hillary, then at the phone set up on the table."Okay?"I walked towards him, my lips slightly parting. "You were asleep earlier, but Manuel came

It didn't take too long before Manuel returned with his mother. Vector stayed put, but I immediately stood up to greet her. Her eyes widened as she took in the mansion, her eyes darting between us and the undeniably breathtaking architecture of Vector's home."This is..." she slowly turned to Manuel. "Your home?"He started to shake his head, but Vector slowly stood up. "This is our home, and that includes you."I smiled, my eyes twinkling. She reached her hand to cup Vector's cheeks, and if I hadn't done way worse, it would have astonished me just how cite he looked in that moment.People who never got too close to him would probably disagree with me, but they haven't seen him the way that I have. They don't know Vector, the Vector that blushes at being called boyfriend, they don't know that Vector."I am about to be the favourite son, Manuel. Watch out."Manuel broke into a laugh, and my eyes met Hillary's as she shared off at him, seemingly lost in his smile. It made me remember th
