Semua Bab The Mafia's Charming Mate: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Our unplanned romance was short-lived. A glance at the chandelier gave out one of the bastards who was trying to shoot into the room. Quickly, my hand shifted her to the other side, against the wall. Her face was flushed with disappointment but I didn’t have any time to explain before the window came crashing down. A loud yelp escaped her throat as her hands threw themselves over her head. She crouched down immediately, using the bed as a cover because the bullet rain wouldn’t stop.A soft “that was close” played on my dry lips as I crawled to her side to check if she was okay. Although she nodded her head, it was obvious that she wasn’t. Her eyes were wide opened in shock and she rarely blinked. She must have gone into a shock beyond her control because it didn’t seem like she could hear anything or open her mouth where she sat down, trembling.Martins came to the rescue at that moment to inform us that he had cleared a path for us to leave. We couldn’t bear staying in the hotel any

Martins was silent throughout the ride, and I was so grateful for that. His face wore a worrisome expression, but he restrained himself from asking anything. He must have wanted to ask a lot of questions because of the panic mode I was in, but he held himself back in respect.“The park beside the police station, right?” he asked, snapping me out of my thoughtsI couldn’t pinpoint what exactly the update could be because I had looked for several pieces of information and hints all my life, throughout the five years of the case. Nothing seemed to be out of the blues no matter how I searched. Everything was perfect. It got to a point where I started to doubt if my mom was indeed innocent, like I thought.All the evidence pointed to her. Nothing seemed to be helping in clearing her name, and that dead ends have been the main cause of the problem I was facing. The case was not moving forward, and it felt like my mother would die behind bars."Yes, please, the smart park, right behind the hu

Irena finally rounded up her courses and read about all she wanted to learn and had time to sleep in for a very long time in ages. The bags under her eyes were so heavy that she could barely see properly on the day she was done.Rocco once told her to take it easy and learn it bits by bits since he was still at home and wouldn’t resume any meetings with the Mafia family or business for the time being, but she ignored and insisted on taking it till the end.“She’s so persistent. I really do not understand her,” he had sighed after talking to her but no availSliding into her bed that morning, she slept off after turning off her phone. For more than eight hours, she comfortably slept her stress off before waking up refreshed. As soon as she was done with food, she turned her phone on to get some things done and Paul’s message came in.“The result of the footprint is out, and the only thing they could get was the shoe sole’s design. This means I have to narrow down the designs to brands t

Immediately we landed, Bojana sent her suitcase to the hotel and went on another trip to a friend’s house. She had informed me earlier, so I was fazed when she branched out at the airport. She was so cold towards us, but I understood her, and I didn’t want to disturb her. I wanted her to reach out to me after forgiving me herself.“The bags will find their way to the hotel. Let’s go for dinner," I motioned to her, and we went to the reserved restaurant in another car.I have never left my work for personal reasons. Even on vacations, I still work because there are no resting days for a mafia, especially for a boss. I had to be on alert every time, so I didn’t lose my men and my territory.We had all she wanted before we went back to the hotel, and she opted out for some fresh air around the lake while I quickly went to attend to something. One of the men hinted to me about the move from the other gangs concerning the shooting that occurred in our recent meeting, so I had to attend to i

All I saw before I collapsed again was Rocco motioning to his men to chase the man who was already several meters ahead of them. My eyes flew open at midnight to see his huge frame pacing the room before he slowly settled in front of the window with his hands in the pocket of his brown pants. I could see the sides of his brows raised in anger. He was lost in thought, obviously. His intense gaze pierced through the shiny city. Many things must have been going on in his mind. He must have had so many questions he needed answers to. For a tiny second, the thought of sleeping again so I wouldn’t interrupt him crossed my mind, but I also figured out that waking up would be the priority on his mind. I needed to take that off his mind, at least, so I gathered the strength to stand to my feet. My legs were wobbly when I stood upon them, but I managed to take a brave step, and I was able to walk well to his side. He was really lost in thought because he didn’t know that I was at his back
