All Chapters of Rise, Mafía Heirs: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Anna took All's hand and felt his grip. She began to talk about everything she felt at the news of his illness. She talked about what his son and his foreman had done to her, and then she talked about the house. Anna talked about the mansion so excitedly and with such wonder that she didn't notice Allister's gaze become dark and thoughtful, nor the angry line that formed on his lips. She only noticed his silence. “Something wrong, All?” He forced a smile. “No. I need a lawyer. I've called a reliable lawyer and she should be here any minute... Call my son.” “No. He doesn't like me, and that feeling is mutual. What do you want with a lawyer?” “I need to resolve some issues. It's business I want to get settled. You don't have to think about this bureaucracy.” “I don't know anything about business, but if it's something for me... Just release my father. There's nothing more I want.” Allister seemed to reflect on her words. “I want to ask you for something.” “You

Anna didn't understand what that man was up to. It didn't seem like she was living in reality. Maybe it was just a nightmare. “What's in it for you?” “I've surrounded my family's assets with care, and there are two loopholes left. One of them, I hope All doesn't remember it, because I won't be able to intervene, but one of these loopholes is that you become his heir if you marry him. And the only way I've found to stop him doing that is this. You can't officiate two marriages.” “I can marry any man to avoid that, it doesn't have to be you.” “Believe me, I don't want that. But I'm not going to put myself in the position of someone who can be blackmailed... I don't trust anyone and... I can't let my father go without his toy.” “What happens if I don't sign?” “There's no chance of that.” “You can't make me!” She saw his gaze flash dangerously. “Do you want to bet?” “If you say you're going to kill my father, do it. I'll be sad, but that's all there is to it.” “

Anna entered the room and locked the door. She started pacing back and forth. It couldn't be happening, but it was. She had to be realistic. She couldn't live without the man she loved. He wasn't just the man she loved. He was her only friend. She had no one else. Without him, she had no will to go on living. She looked at the window. She was so distressed, and her thoughts were screaming so loudly in her mind, that she didn't hear the people calling her name, desperate outside the door. She went to the window and tried to pull it up, but it was jammed. She pushed for a while, but the handle wouldn't budge. Anna discovered at that moment that she hated that kind of window. Who had been the asshole who had closed it? She remembered that it had been raining, and the window had probably been closed so that it wouldn't get wet inside. That didn't matter now. She went to the bedside table and picked up the lamp. She began to break the glass of the window and then the sharp shards, a

Anna jumped on the bed, hugged All and hid her face in his arms. “You don't have the right to stop me from doing whatever I want!” It was Suzy's voice. “I didn't stop you!” Adam's cold voice sounded like thunder. “The man who works here said that you don't allow Anna to leave!” “Yes. She can't! You can leave whenever you want!” “You want to have power over everyone around you, and that can't be! Your father is still alive!” “Not for long!” Anna heard the slap and felt All shudder. She couldn't believe that it was Adam who had slapped his mother and Suzy could have been in danger if she had dared. Her doubts were soon answered by Adam's cold, cutting voice. “Don't you ever do that again, woman!” “Are you threatening me?” “That would be very peculiar, wouldn't it? I cause pain before I threaten!” “You can't order me around!” “Yes, I can!” “Do you think you're better than anyone else here? I'm going to invite your brother here! He's older than you! The inheri
