All Chapters of Under Mafia Protection: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

MenaSmiling at the sight, I looked down at Alessio as he rested his head gently on my stomach. We were lounging on the sofa in the living room. Other than the sound of nature coming through the open windows, it was completely silent.His eyes were closed, but I could hear the sound of his breaths. We had just come back from the doctor’s office to confirm the pregnancy. He had made me an appointment with the family doctor because according to him that was the only person capable of taking good care of me and the baby.I was only four weeks pregnant, and it felt surreal. There was a tiny new life growing inside of me, and Alessio accepted it without a single complaint. It was a feeling I had never experienced before.My fingers found their way through Alessio’s hair as I cherished our moment for as long as I could. It amazed me how much calmer he seemed whenever his focus turned to our baby—but as soon as his mind wandered away, his expression would tighten.All he wanted was to get to

Alessio“Back in my days, we didn’t have all those privileges you and your brothers have,” Dad dipped his brush into the blue paint. “The three of you have been spoiled your entire lives.”“Then I’m glad I’m not from your days.”It was funny to see how Melody was never a topic in these conversations. Compared to her, we were raised quite humbly. I can’t remember me or my brothers having multiple horses at her age.Dad had found himself a new hobby, refurbishing old cabinets and bringing them back to his aunts. Unfortunately, Dante and I had become unwilling helpers in this project.This morning Dante had managed to escape him, but I took one for the team and decided to help him.It was mostly to kill some time as I waited for Gian’s text. He was already on his way back and would meet us halfway as discussed. There we would trap Isaac and take him to one of the empty warehouses.“Have you already thought about the question I asked you yesterday?”I thought about his unexpected question

MenaI stood at the back of the cold warehouse, my arms wrapped around myself as I watched Isaac, still unconscious and bound tightly to a chair.Everyone moved to do something, even Pilar tightened the chains behind Isaac’s back, while I just stood there with an uncomfortable feeling. I felt out of place—like I was the only one who hadn’t done this before because this was not normal behavior. To them perhaps, but not to me.Completely focused, Alessio pulled Isaac’s phone from his pocket. Then he used his finger to unlock it. On any other day, I would’ve called it clever, but for some reason, the sight was very disturbing.“Drive this to a different location,” he instructed, handing Gian the phone. "Take over everything you think might be important, then smash it. I don’t know how far these people are willing to go for him, but I don’t want to take any chances."Gian bobbed his head, “Got it.”“I’ll go with him,” Pilar said before turning to me like I was some lost puppy. “Will you b

MenaI glanced over at Alessio, and then my eyes traveled to the folder and the taser. Isaac asked him what he wanted to know, but since I was already at this point—I had no problem taking the lead. “Can I?” I gathered the courage to ask.Alessio’s brows shot up. "Why not?" he responded, to my surprise. I hadn’t expected him to agree that easily.I grabbed the folder and taser, then sat down on the chair, scooting myself closer to Isaac. I wasn’t even sure about what I was going to do, but I knew that I had to do this.It wasn’t just about protecting Isaac from torture or about getting answers. It was about proving to myself and to everyone else that I could handle this.If I could handle this, I could take on anything.“Either do it yourself or just kill him already!” Gian yelled from the back, losing his patience.I turned just in time to see Alessio raise his hand to silence his brother, then his gaze shifted back to me, giving a slight nod toward Isaac, signaling me to proceed.I

Mena"If I call my boss and give him the code, it means the operation has failed, and my life is in imminent danger, beyond the possibility of assistance," Isaac claimed.This was what we wanted, right?He was talking about ending everything, but why did it make me feel even more sorry for him?"Since I signed a contract, I’ll be nothing more than just a number in this operation, and they don’t have much on you, so you’ll be safe for a long time. It’ll remain registered as failed for a minimum of ten years," he said."And why would you do that?" Alessio questioned.“Because I won’t let you cut off all my limbs for something you deserve to know,” a sad smile crept across his face. “And I don’t want to spend my last moments trying to convince you about how sorry I am things had to be this way.”Even in his final moments, Isaac was prepared to protect Alessio. I hadn’t been there from the start, but if that wasn’t proof enough that their friendship meant something to him—I didn’t know wh
