Semua Bab The Mafia Widow's Revenge : Bab 31 - Bab 40

ELENA "Please have a seat" Came from behind me and I slowly turned around to stare pointedly at the indifferent looking Mr. deluca who promptly gestured to the chair there for me to take the seat and I did it without any other word.Getting comfortable before I looked up to his expectant look before I opened up my lips to speak but then the sound of the door opening made us both turn towards the intruder to find an annoyed looking secretary staring at our form.What was up with them and interruption. "What is it Nichole?" He asked, his voice devoid of any emotion at all and I saw her gulp before she composed herself and stepped into the office fully all this while without staring at me and I commended her for her composure in the face of all that Mr. Deluca is. "You ordered to inform you if any call came in from the dubai business manager" I glanced back to Mr. Deluca and saw him give her a slow deliberate smile that she seemed to understand because the next second, she was out th

ELENA"You look nervous" Sarah noticed as soon as she sat beside me in the kitchen where I was nursing a drink and biting at my nails while wishing for time to run more faster than it already was."I do?" I ask offhandedly and she sighed."You never tell me things again these days, I had no idea you were even home this evening" She complained and I finally gave her a glance only to find she was pouting and blinking her eyes at me cutely."You should know that would never work, I'm immune to your charms" I tell her with a sweet smile and she hissed, crossing her arms before she belted out."Oh.... But not immune to a certain someone's charm" My heart panged and I could feel my mood drop as a face flashed in my mind and my eyes shut tightly as I stood up and gave her guilty self a look before turning and leaving the kitchen, drink forgotten.Thinking about Deluca Adrian’s charm felt like a sort of shame to my late husband, Lorenzo's memory.I began to dress up while using the time to c

ELENA"It was human trafficking and not just a simple one, he was trafficking both boys and girls of ages sixteen down to twenty but not this time though, this time was much worse, he was selling off children. Thirteen to sixteen years of age and he was auctioning them off to highest bidders who bought, used and discarded them away before coming for the next one" He took in a huge breath and that was when I felt my whole heart stutter to a stop and blood rushed into my ears, sending headaches up to my temples.This was on repeat in my head even when I left the casino last night, amidst the blurred words of Deluca Adrian.I had exclaimed he was a liar but he had played a tape of his conversation with Lorenzo and it still was hard to believe even until this very moment, I knew my husband very well... Or did I?No, I would not begin to doubt a man who had protected me from his world for four years without harm just due to some words and trap said and played by his rivalry.I would not be

ELENA As soon as I got back to the estate, I immediately locked myself up in my bedroom where I fell down to my behind at the door as tears assaulted me.Today I was so close to being killed all due to the fact that I was searching for the cause of my late husband's mysterious murder.Now I wondered at who might have sent them, was it Deluca? That seemed far-fetched seeing as he came down to the club and helped question the bouncer I had caught trying to sneak away after the car had raced off in front of me.Or did he do it and came down there to put me off? he seemed calculating enough to make such an attempt and also destroying me too but what was his aim, what exactly was his end game in all of this?Or was it the mafia council elders? They had wanted me to give up the Empire for Dante and had made threats too.But also if they had been in this dangerous game for so long, surely they would have more than lousy assassins trying to end me, it couldn't be Dante also because Dante w

ELENAAs I watched the two siblings called lovers being tortured, I couldn't find it in me to feel remorses for them. They had tried to murder me and this is their punishment for doing such.But still I wondered at why Deluca had even bothered to capture the two attackers and torture them for information with me being called to hear it all.It did not make any sense to me, unless they paid them to kill me and when it didn't succeed, they bring me here to clear the air? That also made no sense, if Deluca wanted me dead, this mediocre assassins wouldn't be able to do the job or even get the job.So back to square one, who wanted me dead apart from Dante, The elder council and maybe Deluca also...?"Speak or the next one will be ten times worse" Lucas voice brought me back to reality, I had been too deep in thoughts and was lucky I hadn't missed anything important."I-It w-wassss a-a-a Lady, she d-didn'ttt g-givvve usss h-her co-co-contact Orr her na-name" The female one named Barbara st
