All Chapters of Marrying the Mafia's Daughter: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

MAVERICKGiosue was younger than I expected, the same age as Terzo. He was shorter and whiter, dark eyes cold as ice and emotionless. He hadn’t talked, but he already terrified me.“Lake Winston, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” He shook Lake’s hand before he met my gaze, giving me a chill. His eyes seemingly pathways to dark abysses.“Welcome home, Maverick.”“Thank you.” I gripped the hand he offered for a handshake.A man behind him came forward. “Please, leave your weapons at the corner.”“It’s fine, Tabo,” he dismissed him. “Join me.”We settled in the living room. Outside the window, there were many black men. I didn’t know if they came to pay their respects or to show their support for what was left of the Siciliano family.“I believe you are innocent. I’m sorry for your loss. You don’t have to come over if it’s only for me. I believe Mr. Braddson, the first time he said you had nothing to do with that tragic accident, but the people they left behind are constantly tense about who

LAKE“I suggest you start the jet before things fall apart. And trust me. We can’t leave here alive if you ever wait an hour.” For a man who just said we were in trouble, he seemed so calm.“You’re scaring my wife. Explain.”“Giosue killed my father and my brother, and he keeps my sister hostage.”The entire car went eerily silent.“She’s telling the truth,” Tucker backed her up.“We can’t leave my sister there.” Maverick cried again, eyes begging. “He will kill her or lock her in a cage and use her the way it pleases him. I saw her bruises, Lake. She’s badly hurt. Maybe at this, he locks her up.” Her eyes filled with horror, and I instantly believed her. The way she cried earlier was not a joke. It was someone who had broken down, who had endured unbearable pain.It broke my heart to pieces. The tightness in my chest made it hard to breathe. I couldn’t even blink. I listened to every word she said, and at the same time, I was helpless. I didn’t know how to proceed with taking her sis

MAVERICK“I missed you, too, sis.” He caught me in the air and spun me around.“Put me down this instant, asshole!” I stared at him in disbelief. He looked exactly the same Terzo I met last week. “You’re alive.” I blinked rapidly, cupped his face, and gripped his arms, making sure he was not a ghost. I hit him in the chest because I was pissed off. “You son of a bitch! How are you even alive? I mourned for you, asshole. I spent hours crying for you, and here you are, still a smug son of a bitch!”“I know. I can explain,” he said calmly while I was so furious I could barely breathe.“I don’t need your explanation, asshole!” I actually do. I couldn’t care less about the people watching me. I was caught up in my emotions of being furious and happy at the same time that he was not dead.“Do you know anything about this, uncle?” Lake asked.“Not until I arrived here this morning. I came here with my son and Gabe to make sure you can come out alive. We were prepared to attack the compound i

MAVERICKI paced in the basement, which was literally a bunker. One reason was that I felt claustrophobic. Second, I was worried about the guys who went to the compound. I hoped they had the element of surprise, or they could have walked into the trap.I checked my phone. No service. “There’s no service down here.”“So if we got locked up here, no one could find us? What if there’s a massive earthquake, and this villa falls down? We’re stuck, die in hunger and suffocation?”“If there’s a massive earthquake, we’re likely to be dead drowning from a tsunami, baby. Remember, the villa is facing the ocean.” He held my hand, pulling me on his lap.“Jeez. You’re not helping. Can you be a little more optimistic?”“Sit down. It’s only been twenty minutes.”I released a shaky breath as I sat on his lap. “I should have been out there, helping them. This wouldn’t have—”“Okay. Okay. This is not your fault. Your father has been doubtful about Giosue’s loyalty and is investigating his corruption. D

MAVERICKI started to hyperventilate the longer I stayed alone, and tears kept rolling down my cheeks.I was terrified that Lake and everyone outside might be hurt. I gave a jolt as I heard someone must have twisted the doorknob from the outside.My hands were sweaty as I held the gun up. Until I finally heard five knocks. I released a shuddering breath as I got up and stuffed the gun in the band of jeans. Then I fumbled to unlock the door.The door swung open. The first person I saw was Lake, smiling at me. I lunged straight to him, jumped into his arms, and squeezed him tight. “I was so worried.”“I’m fine, baby. Thanks for listening to me.” He hugged me tight and kissed my temple. “Sorry for leaving you alone.”As I pulled apart, he looked at me, eyes filled with pain. “You’ve been crying.”“I thought I would be left here alone.” I rolled my eyes. “Fine. I was worried you’d get hurt.”He beamed at me, cupped my head, and kissed me hard, and that was what exactly I wanted— to prove
