All Chapters of Torn Between Two Mafia: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Lemuel nods, chewing on his lip, a gesture Alexander recognizes as his typical thinking pose. He allows the silence to linger, waiting for Lemuel to reach his conclusion."It's probably best if I head to her apartment now," Lemuel says eventually. "I'll check to ensure no one is watching, then clear it out. I can bring her belongings back here and make certain there's nothing that could expose our information or reveal where she'll be."Alexander agrees with a nod. A strange sense of obligation toward Jenny washes over him now that he understands the potential danger she is in. He cannot let what happened to her at the hands of the Bloody Sapphire occur again, especially knowing the consequences if they find out about her alliance. Regardless of her past, she is now a member of the Dark Wolves, and he is committed to protecting his family with his very life."We'll keep a close eye on her," he mutters, more to himself than to Lemuel. "I believe her story, but my trust is not yet compl

Meanwhile, Julius felt the familiar dull ache in his head as he turned onto the street where Jenny lived. Lately, he had been drinking more, and his body wasn't bouncing back like it used to. He could see the bags under his eyes, and he made it clear to anyone in Bloody Sapphire who dared to mention his deteriorating appearance that it would be their last mistake. One nurse from the medical ward had even offered him a nutritional drink and a face mask, but he took her to his room and showed her just how healthy he was.He passed the neighboring buildings, grateful he had chosen a calm and safe neighborhood for Jenny to stay in. His father had already scolded him for visiting her here, warning him that his overprotectiveness for his sister could jeopardize his mission to gather intelligence on the Dark Wolves. Julius found it amusing every time his father referred to his and Jenny's relationship as a sibling bond. The fact that his father couldn't see the truth about them was embarrass

Seeking some tranquility, Alexander steps onto the drop cloth and settles in front of his unfinished painting of the snow-capped mountains that grace the horizon around his estate. As he lifts a brush to scrutinize it at eye level, he considers continuing his work on the landscape portrait. However, his attention is diverted by a lively chattering sound coming from another part of the courtyard.Rising from his seat, Alexander follows the path back toward the sprawling log mansion. With every step, the sounds grow clearer—sporadic bursts of laughter and joyful giggles echoing in the air. He halts, recognizing the voices. It's Jenny and Luther! He had explicitly warned her to keep away from him! Fuming with anger, Alexander advances toward them. As he rounds the corner, they come into full view. Concealed behind a tall bush, he witnesses Jenny tending to the windows while amusing his young son. Luther is laughing so hard that he's clutching his stomach and gasping for air between fits

"Once upon a time..." Jenny began to read, and within moments, Luther fell softly asleep, his face serene and angelic. She closed the book and rose from her spot beside his bed, hurrying into the hallway. If she rushed, she'd have time to see if Melinda was able to procure the books she had requested from the library. Melinda was older and unfamiliar with many American titles, so occasionally she returned with novels Jenny had never heard of before. Yet, Jenny read them anyway, and sometimes they became her favorites.When she reached Melinda's office, her supervisor looked up, a furrow forming on her brow. "Sorry, honey," she said, tucking a pencil behind her ear. "Not today. I forgot the house car is up for maintenance. I'll be sure to grab them for tomorrow.""Oh," Jenny replied with a grin, "no worries! I still have half of one left. That should be enough for tonight."Before she could leave, Melinda raised a hand to stop her, tilting her head in curiosity. "Do you know when Alexa

As the dinner table was finally cleared, Alexander sat patiently, waiting for dessert to be served. The evening had been entertaining, with Jenny and Luther dominating the conversation, happily chatting and exchanging jokes as if they were lifelong friends. Though Alexander typically occupied the head of the table, he had opted to sit across from them this time, with Nancy beside him. In five years, he had never moved from that spot during meals, never suggesting a switch even when it would have been more convenient to do so.Suddenly, cannolis dipped in chocolate and dusted with powdered sugar made their way to the table. Jenny inhaled sharply, exclaiming, "There's no way I can finish this after the dinner we just had!"Nancy leaned forward, prepared to offer Jenny a share of her dessert since she, too, felt stuffed from the ravioli they had just savored. To her surprise, Alexander unexpectedly sliced his cannoli in half."Here," Alexander said, picking up one half and presenting it
