280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 131: After the Storm
Luciano’s POVAbout half an hour later, we arrived at one of my safe houses in the city. It wasn't a mansion or anything like that. Just an apartment seated on top of a hair salon. Mariella and I got out of the car at about the same time Jose's SUV pulled over beside our car. He got out, too. “I'm glad you made it,” I said to him as he shut the door. “Where are the others?” I asked. “Sent them home,” Jose responded as four guards emerged from the SUV. “I figured if a bunch of SUVs lined up here, we'd basically be announcing that we're here.” It did make a lot of sense. “Alright. And Dante?” I asked. “Probably coming back from dumping Sophia at the station.”I nodded, and we went in. As soon as we got in, I told Mariella to go and get changed in the room. She was soaking wet. We all were. She didn't argue and went into the master bedroom.I took off my suit and shirt, looking out through a sliver in the blinds, at the rain still pouring over the city. Then I turned to Jose. “I
280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 130: Ride or Die
Luciano’s POVThe sound of gunfire was damn near as loud as the rain now. We had made our way out of the shed, eliminating as many people as we could along the way. The air outside was freezing, or was supposed to be, had it not been for adrenaline, which made me barely notice the cold. “Stay low!” I barked, grabbing Mariella’s arm as we rounded the corner of a rusted shipping container. A bullet pinged off the metal inches from my head, singing a high-pitched note that would have given any normal person a heart attack. “I’m low already, Luciano! Stop pulling me!” She hissed back. Even in the middle of an assassination attempt, she still had enough breath to fight over the smallest thing. I ignored her, checking the corner. Two men in black were moving towards the entrance of the shed, their silhouettes easy to make out against the orange glow of the high-mast lights. Judging by their gait, these guys weren't thugs. If I didn't know any better, I'd think these were government agen
280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 129: Partners in Blood
Luciano’s POVThe silence in the shed was suffocating. My men watched Mariella and eye staring at each other with no one uttering even a word. My eye drifted to the gold locket she had in her hand. All the uneasy feelings I had watching the footage, all the suspicions. They were all correct? Mariella actually killed my dad? I couldn't bring myself to believe it, even though she had admitted to it openly. It's not like she had any reason to save Sophia. She hated her even more than I did. My mind drifted back to five years ago, when she first walked into my room, naive and scared as a chicken. Now, fast forward five years later, and being around me had turned her into a killer. I felt a weight of guilt in my chest. How did it come to this? I thought, as I recalled the days after Marcello's first “death” and after we had our kids. Life had never felt so peaceful and happy. I almost felt like I didn't deserve that life. But then Marcello came back. And even with him around, I didn't
280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 128: Confession
Luciano’s POVI sat in my study, drinking a cup of coffee, watching the rain pour against my windows. We were still on the hunt for Lorenzo, but that was by the way. I hadn't slept since Marcello's death. Why?Because I still had no clue who killed him. The lady in the footage did remind me of Mariella somewhat. The hair, especially. But Mariella wasn't capable of such a thing. In fact, there was only one woman I knew who was close to Marcello and ruthless enough to pull that kind of stunt. Sophia.I picked up my phone and called Dante immediately.“Yes, boss?” He answered. “Dante. I think the lady in the video is Sophia,” I said. “Come to think of it, she was close to Marcello, so getting to him wouldn't be a hassle. And besides, who else dresses and walks like that?”“It's a possibility,” Dante answered. “I'm almost certain it's her,” I said. “Take some men and bring her to me. I don't care if you have to do so by force. I want her at the Turks' shipyard in one hour. Got it?”“
280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 127: Weak?
Luciano’s POVThe news of my warehouse at Deptford going up in flames got to me early in the morning. And I was out of the house before I could even ask what happened.As we approached the docks, the smell of burning rubber seeped through the car windows. We pulled up to the curb and I got out immediately. All around the building were flashing red and blue lights of the fire trucks and emergency vehicles. I walked along the wet pavement filled with glass shards, making my way through the crowd. “Wait…bro…hold on,” Jose called, rushing to catch up. “We can't go in there right now. It's not safe. Can't you see they're still trying to put out the fire?”I completely ignored him. Didn't even so much as look at him. I walked straight past the police cordons, the officers parting like the Red Sea when they saw my men and me approaching. They knew damn well who really owned these streets, even if their badges said otherwise. My men went before me, bargained with fire extinguishers. I went
280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 126: Shaking the Hive
Levi’s POVThe fog in South London was quite the sight, clinging to the brickwork of the industrial districts like a damp shroud, covering the sins of the city. Who am I kidding, though? Nothing could cover up the filth of this godforsaken place. God, I hated London!It was 2:00 AM, and I sat in the darkness of our black van, taking a look at the warehouses of Deptford. They all looked damn near lifeless, like row upon row of freaking tombs. I walked over to the control setup and sat in my chairs, briefly taking a sip of coffee before turning on the monitors. The screens lit up, beaming shades of emerald and white on my face. Thermal imaging really was a thing of beauty. “Observe, gentlemen,” I whispered, though I was alone in the van. My team was already in position, hovering like specters in the blind spots of the building’s security cameras. “The anatomy of a hive.”This hive belonged to the De Luca family. On the outside, it was a furniture import showroom, all velvet sofas a
280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 28: The Silent Watcher
Mariella’s POVThe fluorescent lights of the hospital ceiling passed overhead, appearing as repeated flashes in my eyes. Every jolt of the gurney sent a fresh wave of agony radiating from my leg. It felt like hell, and I was barely holding back the urge to scream. Glancing to my side, my eyes met
280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 26: Buried Truths
Mariella’s POVThe morning sun was bright – a bit too bright if you ask me. Following Luciano's orders had become too much of a chore, and I didn't like it. I skipped breakfast and went past the dining hall, heading instead for the estate’s private gardens. I needed some air. It was suffocating bei
280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 25: A Threat To Get Rid
Dante’s POVThe nun hesitated, and I leaned forward slightly, sensing the weight behind her silence.“What happened that day?” I asked.She nodded slowly, her expression turning distant, like she was looking back at something she wished she could forget.“It’s a day everyone in this convent remembe
280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 23: Unexpected Arrival
Mariella’s POVThe silence at the dinner table was palpable. Every clink of my silver fork against the white china plate felt deafening. Marcello watched me with the detached interest of a biologist observing a specimen undergo metamorphosis.“The gala is in three days,” Marcello said, his voice im
