Semua Bab A Kiss and Nothing More - Mafia Love: Bab 41 - Bab 50

That was the first time that Lina said openly and clearly that she loved Vince, apart from when declared herself to the man himself. No, she wasn't in love. She loved him.Bartolomeo's face turned red. He looked like he was going to have a stroke at any moment. Lina didn't lower her head.“You... You...” Bartolomeo stammered. “Did you let him deflower you?”Bartolomeo knew very well how things could be. He, when he was with Maryam, had the happiest moments of his life. Very intense. From what he knew about Vincenzo Bonaccorso, the man was a sex machine. Women went crazy with him. And Guendalina had been the only one to visit his house, lately. The only one to sleep with him and return the next day, and the next, and the next.“I let him do whatever he wanted with me,” she said, defiantly.Bartolomeo had not lived with his daughter but just knowing that she was his daughter and who the man she had been involved with was, he could imagine all the naughty things she had done and that was

Raffaele had been following Maddie and Lina for weeks. He thought the chestnut was beautiful and became interested in her. And by the time he was assigned the task, Nico had already blocked Maddie's number. Every day that Raffaele followed her, he thought more and more about her, waiting for the opportunity to talk to Maddie. But he knew that wasn't possible. Raffaele traveled to Las Vegas in order to solve some problems and, when he returned, he learned that Lina had been captured and tortured. In the end, she was Bartolomeo's daughter.The last news was good, after all, it made things more possible for him to get closer to Maddie! Besides, poor Lina wouldn’t suffer anymore.He knew very well who Nicola Rizzi was. The right-hand man of Vincenzo Bonnaccorso, the man who held two positions at the same time within the mafia: Sottocapo and Consigliere. This was an extremely rare feat.“He's not old!” Maddie defended Nico.‘Yes, yes... If I'm not mistaken, he's already over thirty! For yo

“What are you doing? And what about only Italian women?” she wanted to know about this, before revealing whose daughter she was.“Fuck the Council! Anyone who says anything will be fucking shot!” he growled and took a deep breath. “Guendalina Watson, will you marry me and make me the happiest man in the world?”Vince had decided to keep his distance from Lina. He didn't want to get involved with her anymore. But when she was in danger, when they took her from hiding, he thought he would lose her again. And, perhaps, forever. And the love he refused to admit he felt for her needed to be declared. He needed to tell her. He needed her.It wasn't part of the plan for him to appear there in the middle of the gunfire. He should have stayed safe while she was rescued. However, he couldn't stay away. He wanted her as his wife and, for that, he had to protect her himself. If not, what kind of man would he be?Vince saw when the car carrying Bartolomeo left, as he stayed on one of the nearby st

“I hate. I hate her!” what he meant was that he hated loving her, he hated the fact that she shared Scarpinato's blood. But not her. He would never hate her. How could he ever hate her?“Ok,” Nico said and didn't insist any further. “Then, Vincenzo, don't complain about your life and the consequences of your immature act. Also, act like a fucking Capo if you want to be respected like one!”With that, Nico closed the door and left. He would look for Lina himself. But first, he needed to take care of his wound. He was already dizzy.Nico went to the doctor and let the man take care of his shoulder. So, he called Maddie. She answered the phone quickly.“Did you find Lina?” she asked, hopefully.“Not yet. But I will.”“Thank you, Nico. And... Your shoulder?”Nico smiled. She did worry about him!“I've already been to the doctor. How are you?”“Good. Nervous. Concerned. But fine.”“Okay, babe. I'll find Lina and talk to you. Anything, call me, okay?”“Okay…” she said, shyly.Nico wanted to

Upon reaching the door, Vince came across Nico picking up a body in his arms. It was Lina.“But...” Vince stammered. He couldn't even form a sentence.“Get out of the way!” Nico bristled and Vince took a step to the side, but not enough. Nico even bumped into his shoulder. Vince had his eyes fixed on the person with their arms hanging down. She was as pale as dead.Nico ran up the stairs to the ground floor, while Vince did so listlessly. He wanted to help Lina, he wanted to know how she was, to hold her, but he couldn't make his body react in an agile way. Everything was in slow motion.Years of training couldn’t prepare one for this kind of situation, no matter how hard it was.‘Was she… Was she here the whole time?’, he asked himself and parts of his conversation with Bartolomeo popped into his mind, the way he cursed Lina and accused her of deceiving him, setting him up with her father.When he got to the top floor, he only heard a car screeching tires. Probably Nico taking Lina t
