All Chapters of Revenge: Submitting To The Mafia King : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Dimitri spent over an hour listening to Cara's lies before he decided it was time to leave. Not that he knew they were lies. Cara found out that he was based in Italy and had visited the city to attend a function but thought to check on Adonis and confirm the rumour of him finding a bride.Frankly, she enjoyed spending time with the old man and might've wished at some point that this wasn't all pretence, but there was nothing she could do. The reality remained that it was. Adonis, on the other hand, was of no help as usual. He left the entire storytelling to her, only throwing in an occasional grunt and hum.The moment his grandfather left, he retired back into his study, leaving Cara to herself as she walked around the big empty mansion, receiving only subtle greeting nods from the bodyguards at their various stations.She had a lot of time to collect her thoughts. Antonio had yet to get back to her; well, he said in two days, so she'd still wait. But what if he doesn't believe an

Cara paced across the room. Her phone in her hand as she waited for a call. She looked at the message displayed on the screen.Wait.Just one word. She had repeatedly checked it to be sure since she got it yesterday, but it still was one word. It didn't change. It was her last day before she was to return to the Bernardi Mansion. After her passionate moment with Adonis, she packed her things and left early the next day, found a simple hotel near the funeral parlour where her father's remains were and logged in there for the day. It was an emotional time, but she finally got to pay her last respects. It was a reminder about why she was doing all this. Revenge. Revenge for her father who died unjustly.Adonis hadn't allowed her to leave the mansion without a car and the card, even if she didn't want to. She still had some spare cash saved up, but it was either she took them along or stayed back. She'd visited her workplaces to inform them of her resignation and cleared out most thin

After spending the day planning a wedding, everyone departed to their various rooms, agreeing to visit the bridal store for dress alterations the next day. Cara was especially tired, and the moment she got into her and Adonis's room on the third floor, she passed out like a log of wood. Although she was so tired and could hardly lift a finger, she couldn't wait for the next day to come. Tina had called sometime around noon to inform her that she'd be returning the next day also, and this made Cara happy. At long last, the thought of having a friendly face around caused a huge weight to be lifted off her shoulders.Not that she wasn't grateful for everyone she'd come to know at the mansion, especially because they weren't anything like Adonis, but this was totally different. Tina was someone she knew before getting mixed up in Adonis's world. She woke up the next day, looking forward to seeing Tina, who had agreed to meet up with them at the bridal shop, and Adonis not being there w

Adonis POVInhaling deeply, I drew in a calming breath as I started my mental count once again, resisting the urge to tap my feet.It's official. She's insane.No sane person, after receiving a death threat, would still choose to defile the order given, but she did. I've never met anyone as infuriating as that little girl in my entire life, and now she has me wondering if she was actually the best fit for this.I resumed my count, my left little finger twitching rapidly at the amount of self-restraint it was taking me not to burst out through the door and drag her to the alter myself."Relax. It's normal." Luca whispered to me.I threw him a blank stare, as I had completely forgotten that he was by my side. He was shaking with nerves in his grey tuxedo; one would think he was the groom.I glanced down at my black tuxedo, which I had to force myself into this morning. Left to me, a dark pair of jeans and a white polo would've been just fine, but for some reason, everyone was against i

"Mr. and Mrs. Bernardi. We'll be landing shortly. Please fasten your seat belts and prepare for touch ground." Cara awoke to the announcement from the pilot, letting out a big yawn.Had they reached already?She looked to her side to see Adonis passing the last of some orders on his phone before he ended the call and adjusted himself."You're up."A simple statement. No emotion whatsoever."Yes. Is there a problem?" She asked."No. I just wanted the men to be ready for anything." "You have men in Italy too?" "I told you, Cara. It's home." He dipped his head to the side, a smug look on his face. "You know what? Why don't I show you around on the first day? We can explore after that." Cara couldn't help the giddiness she felt."You have time for that?""Like I said, we're on our honeymoon. We might as well act like it." His voice went dangerously low, and she didn't miss the implication behind his last words.Before she knew it, they were landing, and excitement bubbled up within her
