All Chapters of Wanted By The Mafia King: Not Your Propery Don Lucien: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Six months ago“Here’s a cup of milkshake to thank you for covering my shift tonight, Gianna.” I grinned from ear to ear as she pushed the cup towards me. I reluctantly accepted with a long sigh, grateful to be heading home after working a double-shift for the fourth time in a week. I waved Emma goodbye before starting my long journey home. I couldn’t afford to use the subway because I was dead broke with a lot of debts left unpaid, so I had to save up every spare dollar I could afford. I checked my watch, it was 12:00 AM already, I would only be able to sleep for three hours before I would need to divide my mornings between taking care of my sick roommate, Eve and trying to catch up on everything I was falling short on. The road home was lonely but safe, I walked down this path everyday, dragging my tired legs and longing for my bed. Ever since I moved here, I knew I had to come up with a story that would be believable if I wanted to stay and from my experience, everyone got move

“I’ve been talking to you for a minute now but you haven’t responded yet. Is there a problem?” Alessandro asked me, forcing me to jolt out of my daydreaming as I stared at his face, still wallowing in shock over what had just happened. I had a lot of unanswered questions and I didn’t know where to start. For the past three years, I’ve stayed off social media, I’ve never had my picture taken and I’ve made sure to completely disappear off the face of the earth and the only thing I’ve been focused on is just work and trying to fend for myself—nothing else. So how the fuck did he find me here in Manhattan? “Is there a problem?” Tiffany touched me and I shivered slightly. I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand. “No, there’s none.” I looked around to see the situation had been taken care of and the man had been removed from the room. I opened my mouth to speak but Tiffany beat me to it. “Don Alessandro was all too kind to take him outside despite his protests, he’s such a gentl

Alessandro’s POVDespite Yoda’s pleas and his warnings, I managed to find a way to make sure I got Gianna back by any means necessary as I conned Ethan into making me a guest at his place for a month. It was all I needed to make things work in my favor and if it didn’t…Well, I didn’t want to riddle myself with sad news right now so I banished every negative thought from my mind and tried to come up with ways on how to make this work. After everything that had happened with Lydia over three years ago, if I wanted her to come back to Los Angeles with me and start all over again, I had to give her a good reason that wouldn’t make her want to leave if the chance ever arose. It was one of my failures back then and I was determined not to let it happen again.I had to make her feel loved and make her see that I was in love with her as well, hoping that someday she would fall in love with me once again and become mine when we were certain that this was what we both wanted. I was willing

I shuddered in fright as I began to recount the incidents of the nightmare that just passed. The room had fallen silent, Tiffany seemed lost in deep thought as her face contorted into different expressions as I watched her keenly as she took in everything I said. I hated being in this spot but I knew why it had happened. My past was threatening to break free from where I’d buried it. I gulped as I kept on trying as hard as I could to suppress the tears from running down my cheeks. I couldn’t show how weak I was in front of her, I had to toughen up like I always had whenever I was bullied in high school. I had to wait out the storm coming and face whatever obstacle life would throw my way. I cradled my stomach, feeling worried about my son who was sleeping soundly. If I didn’t know how to protect myself, how was I going to protect him if Alessandro discovered the truth about his fatherhood?I felt Tiffany’s hands on my shoulder, jolting me out of my daydreaming as I turned to face h

It was past noon and all I could think of was the shopping date I had with Alessandro when I closed from work in the next five hours. I didn’t know why I had agreed to what he suggested but at the same time, I found myself looking forward to it. Picturing myself being romantically involved with Alessandro again was kind of hilarious but Alessandro seemed determined to make it happen and I couldn’t change his mind no matter what I said or did. The look on his face when he failed would be comedy and I couldn’t wait to see it because I knew it was going to happen and I’d be here every step of the way.“What’s making you smile, Gianna?” Tiffany said as she stopped in front of her desk jolting me out of my reverie. She’s been trying to understand the whole situation but I’ve been devising means to get her off my back until I was ready to open up Tiffany wasn’t going to relent and I knew it was only a matter of time. I blinked severally, trying to register what Tiffany had just said. “Wh
