All Chapters of BETRAYED BY THE MAFIA LORD: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

The rest of the day went like flashes. I must have blacked out but Quinn’s last words lingered in my sub-consciousness. It felt like a dream. Like I fantasied it and even when I opened my eyes on the hospital bed and I saw him, heads down, sleeping soundly, i still found it all hard to believe.Perhaps it was fathom fear that left my heart still racing or it was the fact that I couldn't believe he said that.To be honest, I had forgotten. I had completely forgotten we got married a while after we met. There was just this unspoken rule that no one should refer to it because it wasn't real.I turned my head to stare at him, lost in a reverie where I actually imagined what it would be like if we lived like an ordinary couple and Dereck was our son.I guess it was because of how carried away I was, that I didn't hear the nurse come in.“Mam. You are awake.”I looked her way, Quinn’s eyes opened immediately. As expected, he didn't exactly dose off.“How are you feeling?” She asked,

LEO’S POV I sat alone in the silence of the room, nursing my bruised arm. The grandfather clock ticking one second after the other and the breeze swinging the curtains side by side. There is a lingering ache in my chest. I sucked in a breath but I couldn't exhale. Yesterday kept coming back to me each time tried to breathe, to release the pain. I shut my eyes, feeling tears fill my eyes until the glittered when I opened them. The tears threatened to fall but everytime I looked at the picture frame in front of me, I wijced the tears back. I didn't deserve to feel sad. I didn't deserve to cry. I didn't have to right to grieve. The day Sofia died, I didn't go to find her body, I didn't ask of her again. She was the only one who treated me like I was human and I disregarded her like she was filth.What was I thinking. Remembering the past now made me wonder how on earth finding I thought I could find someone to replace her. I didn't deserve happiness. Sitting in the quiet I

I stood sit, staring at the empty sea where my ship once sailed. Some boken pieces of metal managed to float, the wave drifting them to shore for me to see. Perhaps, like the universe, it was trying to wreck me displaying what I had lost before my eyes.Somehow it all seemed sort of unreal. Like a very bad nightmare. My bleeding arm gnawed at me and my vision blurred a few times from the throbbing headache behind my head but it didn't seem to make me want to believe that this is really what It is. I just watched 200 billion worth of cargo go up in blast and flames.In that moment, I felt the meaning of emptiness. The hollow, dead-like and soul crushing feeling that I had lost so much. My body was weary and slightly trembling but I couldn't bring myself to walk away. The loss hit me too hard to let me move, even when the obvious screeching of a car was evident. The engine stopped, and the driver got out. I did not look back until he spoke.“What an explosive day, don't you think?”A d

QUINN'S POV I walked into the terrace . My hair raging against that cold winter winds. There is soft jazz playing on the turntable and a lavender lamp giving out a delightful little light. Just enough to add a romantic spice to the mood of the evening.Gina was standing over by the railing, looking down into the garden and past the patio. Curious about something that I couldn't comprehend but I bet is really important.If not, she would have noticed me step in. I placed the two cups of hot cappuccino on the desk right next to her books and then, as silent as a breeze I snuck up behind her and snagged her waist, pulling her close to me.She flinched, startled and then started laughing.“Quinn, don't do that. It's not okay.”“Really.” I kissed her ear.“I mean it. You are not kissing your way out of this one.”This is a challenge that I would gladly accept.“Watch me.” I licked her ear and kissed her neck. She blushed so hard, her face turned red. I kissed her petal-soft skin a

LEO’S POV I stood afar watching those little chirping things popping up from behind the gates and rushing to hug their parents. They wore the biggest smiles and complained about the smallest things. They also broke anything they touched, which is so annoying but still, it doesn't make the fact that children are like hot coco on a cold day. I exhaled, slightly saddened by the beautiful sight I have been beholding. For half a second, I sort of wanted one for myself.The honking of a Mercedes Benz shot me right out of my reverie. I threw a bloodshot eye behind. Apparently some blind bitch is trying to make me wheel out of the parking space.She even yelled. “This is my spot buddy, get out.”I eyed her, one hand on the passenger side and another on a full loaded silencer. She yelled again. Reminding me this time who she is and how I am an ass for parking in her space. I looked away from her, calming my peaking rage and deciding that I will not be violent in front of children. I
