All Chapters of The Reluctant Mafia Bride: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

“You know I have no say in the matter”, Giovanni, the village chief said. “I don’t know. I hope you’re not doing this due to bribery”, Leonardo said pointing at the pile of cash on a tray with his eyes. His boys searched his house and found them hidden in the walls. The chief must have gone through a lot of trouble to hide it. Giovanni turned his gaze to the tray. “Oh, that. I have business with the other villages and I’m trying to stay safe. You can take them, take it as a welcome gift”, he said, chuckling awkwardly. Leonardo felt insulted but it was okay, he would deal with the situation. “You run this business with what money? From what I can tell, this village’s main source of livelihood is agriculture. How can you get so much money when the village has no good soil”, Leonardo asked. “The village may be poor but I’m not. I can afford food”, Giovanni said with a frown. “Now, let’s come to that. You’re selling off fruits in the market square for exorbitant prices. I

“I’m impressed, Rob”, Leonardo said as he went through the documents and files on his laptop. “Always at the service of the mafia, Don”, Rob responded. A knock was heard on the door followed by Russo’s head peeking through. “I heard you were back, Don. Came to show my respects”, Russo said, stepping into the office at Leonardo’s approval. “Russo, I trust you handled the rat in your care well? Have a seat”, Leonardo said, not looking up from his laptop. “Straight to business. I handled the situation very well. You’d be pleased with the results”, Russo answered. Leonardo turned to him. “Really?”. “Yes, Don”. “Go on”. Russo stood up and walked out of the office. “Have you been keeping an eye on him?”, Don asked. “To the farthest extent of my power, yes. But he likes to handle things alone, with no guards around”, Rob answered. “That is something”, Leonardo commented. “It is. He seems to know what he’s doing, but I can’t help but wonder about his method”, R

Arya sighed as she recalled the last months. Just like her husband predicted, the other family protested against him and he spent the last few months cutting down each family tree. Her father on the other hand who now had Maria at his side had backed off and she hope it stayed that way. She’d hate to have her husband murder him. She hated it had to result to murder but her hands were tied. It didn’t help when she realized she was having twins. She remembered the day they found out fondly but also with dread. FLASHBACK They were at the hospital and she was lying on the bed with her obstetrician. “Don, this is amazing. You’re having twins”, the doctor said. Arya’s emotions were all over the place. “Leave us alone”, Leonardo said to the doctor with a smile. The doctor exited the room. “I’m so ecstatic”, he said to Arya. She smiled awkwardly. “What’s wrong?”, he asked when he noticed her expression. “I was scared of bringing one child into the unsafe wo

Russo had already claimed Arya from the moment he set his eyes on her. If only he knew Leonardo would make a move. In his defense, the man had just taken her as soon as he saw her. While they used to be good friends, he was pissed off and felt betrayed. He even sent some men to kidnap her, but he failed miserably. That was when he realized it was impossible to attack the Don from the outside. But from inside, it was possible. Difficult, but possible. Especially when he used a family member. He couldn’t get access to Dona with Leonardo hovering around her, so he waited until she was alone. He didn’t expect her to fall unconscious, but he expected that she’d come to him with the note, since he was her husband’s old friend and a very good tracker. Things didn’t go exactly as planned, but it all worked out well for him in the end. A lopsided grin appeared on his face as he opened the door to reveal her gorgeous face. His smile turned to a frown as his eyes landed on her

Getting to his office in the villa, he pulled a suitcase onto the table. He opened the suitcase and pulled out an Sig Sauer P320 X-Five Legion and an Accuracy International AXSR. He already had a shot gun on him. He pulled out knives and daggers and kept them in his boots. Since he intended to go alone, he needed to make the fight even. A knock was heard on the door. “Come in”. Rob and a handful of soldiers entered the room. “We will come with you Don”, Rob said. “No need for all of that. I can handle this one”, he said. Rob eyed the guns on the table. “We can’t let you go alone, Don. It’s our duty to fight for you. Russo might have back up or a couple of men”, Rob said. “I don’t need you fighting my battles for me, Roberto.” “We won’t fight for you but you can’t stop us from fighting with you”, Rob said and continued. “There isn’t a soldier here that wouldn’t lay down their lives for you”. Leonardo would gladly go alone but Rob and his men ganged up agai
