All Chapters of Auctioned To My Mafia Lord: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Ava's POVThe room was quiet. It had been that way for a few days now, and I liked it—most of the time, at least. Other times, it just got too lonely and quiet, which was boring. Perez had kept his promise and allowed me to move around Miguel's room. However, I wanted as long as Miguel didn't find out, of course, which he hadn't.He had barely been home.I had spent the last few days going through his room a couple of times already, ransacking it for anything and everything. I had gone through his shelf, his desk, and everything in sight.I really didn't know what I was looking for specifically. I just found myself searching his room for anything that could help me get free of this impregnable mansion, but so far, I hadn't found anything here besides books.He had a whole shelf full of them—really good books I wasn't sure he actually read. He didn't look much like a reader. Aside from the books, there were just cigarettes, and just papers lying around.There was hardly anything else

Ava's POVI crawled out of Miguel's arm in the early hours of the morning —4:00 a.m. It was still dark outside, and I figured this hour was the best time to leave discreetly without being spotted. My eyes were fixed on Miguel on the bed, and I pulled the sheets around him. I brushed off the tendrils on his forehead and gaped at him.He was sleeping peacefully, and it was a sight that one didn't get to see so often. He looked innocently cute in a way, and for a moment I felt a bit hesitant about the plan —about leaving.I lingered with him for a while, it was strange but now that I was about to make a run for it, I felt a bit sad. It was like a part of me was going to miss this —I was going to miss him. My eyes drifted to the cage and back at him.Then I shook my head. This couldn't be my life, and I owed Fernando so much already that I couldn't delay it any longer. I owed him justice, and a proper burial, the same went for my aunt as well as all my friends who died at my wedding.I

Miguel's POVMerda!She was gone.The first few minutes that passed after Bella’s shocking disappearance felt like a nightmare. The guards had scurried out searching everywhere for her while I went to check the CCTV. I watched all the records from around the time I got home till this morning, rewinding and forwarding. I checked every angle of the video and found nothing. There was no sign of Ava. It was like she just vanished without a trace which wasn't reasonable. There had to be a trace but I just couldn't find any. So basically, checking the camera was useless and it didn't yield anything aside, making me more upset.I barged out of the room and headed back to mine to search for clues. Anything that she might have left behind that could give me even the slightest inkling of where she was right now. I turned the room upside down and found nothing still.It deeply upset me and I lost it for a second, kicking and smashing things around the room. I was furious. This was the sec

Ava's POVI blinked hard moving my eyes between them. “I don't understand. What do I have to do with any of this?”Indira got up, and came to sit beside me, “This is a very important task, Avaline. Miguel is dangerous, and his being alive puts a lot of people at risk including your dear Nando. Miguel will stop at nothing until he's dead.”I swallowed hard. “What do you want me to do?”She placed her right hand on my shoulder and held my gaze. “It's a lot to ask but we need you to return to him—”“What?!” I blurted, cutting her off, “You can't be serious. You want me to go back there?”“Yes.”I jumped to my feet and glared at her in dismay.“Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to get away from there? Do you even know how difficult it was for me to escape? How many tries I risked? I almost died!” I enunciated, hot tears running down my cheeks.Indira got to her feet, reaching for my arm, “Avaline, I know—”I swatted her hand away before she could touch me, “No, you don't,” I cut

Ava's POVI felt cold as I moved through the crowd. The cold was caused by the fear growing inside of me like a fetus. I was expecting, waiting for it, for the men on my trail to make their move. Any moment from now they were going to capture me not knowing it was actually a surrender.A surrender? The word tasted sour on my tongue. Who could have thought that I'd choose to go back there? I had spent so much time trying to escape and somehow here I was returning to him. How ironic.The thought of Miguel gave me chills. It was good and bad, there was some kind of ease at the thought of seeing him again blended with the fear of being close to him again. He was probably not going to let the betrayal of my disappearance go just like that. He was the kind to hold grudges but I wasn't really worried about that.I was more worried about staying with him, and what that would mean for me. I bit my lips tightly, trying not to think too much into it as I picked up my pace. It had to feel li
