All Chapters of Sinful Desires: Taming The Cold Mafia Lord: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

MARKI grew a lot. Within two days, I gathered more wisdom and experience than I had in my miserable lifetime. Seems the turn-around I needed was a stubborn pregnant lady hellbent on not speaking to me. If Giulia's plan was to punish me, it was working. June didn't stop encouraging me. We'd sit in the gazebo late in the evening, smiling at old memories which she never failed to bring up. Sometimes, we did some catching up. I learned that Kristen, June's husband, was out of town. I thought he was in the office the first day I arrived. Or was he avoiding me?After my episode with Giulia and her war archangel, Mary, June came downstairs to keep me company. I needed the company more than ever. I was slowly dying. What was more painful was the fact that I knew the cause of my troubles, but I could do little to nothing. Until Giulia decided to take me back, experiencing true peace wasn't an option.I plopped on the chair in the sitting room with a defeated sigh as June got up to get me som

MARK"Tell them to open the goddamn gate!" June yelled at a gardener as she rushed to the garage, leaving me to run behind her. She slid behind the wheel and revved to face the sidewalk leading to the gate. I could see the tension in her eyes, in every twitch of her fingers and arms. She didn't do very well hiding things from me. Hell, from anyone! One look into her brown irises and all secrets were unveiled. "Where the fuck are we going anyway?"She wasn't expecting an answer, I knew that, but the need to test my vocal cords after the shocking news made me speak. "Police station?" I suggested. "Or do you—""We go to the store first. Maybe Giulia wandered off somewhere. Mary can be very unreasonable when overprotective." We exited the gate and she murmured, "... took that from her dad. They don't do proper research before jumping to conclusions." She dialled a number and placed it on hands-free as it rang. After about three rings, I heard Kristen's warm voice on the other end. June di

MARKMary eyed me. Her eyes went to her mom, then the officers, before coming back to rest on my face. I knew she was only having this conversation because of the current situation. On a normal day, I'd have been more than a hundred feet from her."We went to get groceries..."The answer was so dry and angsty that I did a quick mental check to remember if I'd ever offended Mary, perhaps unknowingly. The answer came back empty. Before coming back to Seattle, I couldn't remember meeting someone with such a look. I'd have remembered. After all, she had an attitude that was very difficult to forget."... then she told me she was going to get some candies," Mary added after a moment's silence, realizing that whatever information she provided may help in finding Giulia. Well, I was right. It was all about Giulia. Nothing else.I walked to the section labelled CANDIES and stood facing the camera at the entrance. The angle of elevation helped the spread, but I knew it still wouldn't get deep

MARKShit, my head. The room was unnervingly still, a stark contrast to the chaos erupting in my mind. I found myself in a dimly lit chamber, an oppressive silence pressing down on me. The walls, painted in a ghostly white, seemed to close in, casting long shadows that danced ominously in the faint light. The air was heavy, thick with a metallic tang that prickled the back of my throat. The source of this unsettling aura lay in the centre of the room: a large, white bed, its sheets drenched in a dark, crimson stain that seemed to spread and pulse like a living thing.On that bed laid... "Giulia?!" My eyes widened. Blood rushed into my head, pumping with a force that brought back my dizziness. Her once radiant face was now a ghastly shade of pale, almost translucent, her skin stretched tight over her delicate bones. Her eyes, wide open and glazed with fear, locked onto mine. They were pools of silent pleading, the depths of which reflected a torment that chilled me to the core. Her h

MARK"Oh, thank you... Oh yes, I'll be in touch." A small smile. "She's fine." His eyes darted back, expertly landing on June. "She is holding on pretty well. Yes, thank you, Louis."The call ended and Kristen walked to June and kissed her forehead before settling beside her on the couch."Are you okay?" he whispered against her cheek. I watched as she nodded, closing her eyes to probably allow his voice to seep into her innermost curves. "That was Louis.""The detective guy?""Yeah. They are searching. Actively. She will be found in no time. And Edith will be in trouble... again."Hell yeah. There was no arguing that fact. As it stood, she was already in deep trouble with me. Initially, I'd told Kristen not to involve a private detective company since I didn't want her handed over to the law again, but he confirmed that they would bring her to us and not the police. I couldn't wait. Every minute of my life in this house since Kristen came back has been... torturous. I couldn't rememb
