280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 125: Tracked
Mariella’s POVThe air in my hotel room felt heavy. The fact that I had killed Marcello still sent chills down my spine. The news was now everywhere from social media to television news. And what was most disturbing was the fact that the “hooker in a red dress” had gone viral. Everyone was talking about her. About me. They all suspected she was the killer. That didn't sit well with me at all. I didn't know there were any cameras in the room. I should have been a lot more careful. However, due to the low quality of the CCTV footage, no one could make out exactly who the girl was, at least not yet. But I couldn't wait around for the police to figure it out. I had to get out of here.I stood over the kitchen sink, watching the SIM card from my old phone snap between my fingers. It made a satisfying little click. Then I tossed the pieces into a bag of wet coffee grounds, and threw the handset into the bin. By tomorrow, that phone would be at a landfill. I had a new burner phone tucked

Jose’s POVThe neon lights of London’s West End usually felt inviting, but tonight, they felt more like a taunt. The city was screaming. Every siren in the distance sounded like it was mourning Marcello, or celebrating the chaos his death was about to unleash.I stood in the VIP corridor at Sin City, watching the forensic team bag evidence like they were picking up trash after a parade. The air tasted like expensive tobacco and copper, or maybe it's because I was actually smoking a cigar. “You’re quiet,” Dante said, stepping up beside me. He looked like he hadn’t slept since the 90s. “We don't see that every day.”“Shut up, dude. I'm just thinking,” I muttered. I looked toward the stairs. “About Marcello?”“The fuck? No. Good riddance to him. He was a shitty father anyway.” I responded. “It's about Luciano. He's losing his mind over that footage. He’s played it forty times in the car alone.”“I think he's just overthinking things. It’s a silhouette, Jose. A shadow in a red dress. Gi
280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 123: Watch Them Break
Levi’s POV>>>Location: Switzerland The first thing I saw was the headline.“Business Mogul Marcello De Luca Found Dead in Private Suite.”I didn't react, but just kept scrolling. News of this guy's death was everywhere. I read different articles online and as usual, each one tried to keep it clean using corporate language and careful wording. Stuff like “influential figure”, “private interests”, “ongoing investigation.” All that type of crap. They always did that for reasons I couldn't comprehend. We all know the man didn't get his wealth from all the fake legal businesses he put up as a front. So why dress it up?Stuff like this always pissed me off. I decided to search further, digging deeper into the matter just out of curiosity.And it didn't take long for me to find anonymous sources releasing real information about him backed up by leaked footage and blurry images. And just like that, the truth started bleeding through. Multiple anonymous article headlines, “Mafia ties sus

Luciano’s POVI was halfway through my third call when Dante walked in without knocking. That was unusual. Dante never just barges in. Ever.I ended the call immediately. “What is it?” I asked, wondering what must have made him act so differently today. He didn’t answer right away. Just walked closer, his expression tighter than usual.“Marcello’s dead,” he said.…For a second, I just stared at him. Then I let out a short breath. “That’s not funny.”“I’m not joking,” he said, his facial expression as serious as ever. Silence stretched between us, and I studied his face, believing maybe it was a joke. Which made no sense because Dante had never cracked a joke since I knew him. His face remained serious, and it became apparent that he wasn't joking at all. My jaw tightened. “How?”Dante shook his head slightly. “The details are still messy. But it’s confirmed. He was found in one of his private suites at his club. There were no witnesses and no sign of clear entry.”I leaned back
280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 121: Final Offer
Mariella's POV I walked into the dimly lit room and closed the door behind me. The place was really stuffy, like all the air had been traded for smoke. I coughed a couple of times, swinging my palm across my face multiple times to clear the smoke out. And then I heard his voice. “And you are?” Marcello. He was sitting on a swivel chair with his back to me. The place was dark, so I couldn't make out exactly what I was seeing. But the moonlight from the window made his silhouette quite clear. He seems to be staring out the window with a smoke pipe in his hand.“I was hoping you would guess by my voice,” I answered. The swivel chair slowly turned around, and he was now facing me. He chuckled softly and shook his head. “You've got guts, kid. I'll give you that,” he said. “To what do I owe this surprise?” “You're not going to ask how I got in here in the first place?” I asked, placing my hand on my hip in a sassy way. He shook his head.“That would be unnecessary,” he said. “You're h

Mariella's POVOf course, it didn't take long for Sophia to spill the beans. It's not like she was one to display any sign of integrity whatsoever. According to her, he was at a club in London that he secretly owned. She texted me the address and a secret code word supposedly only known by insiders. Those were enough for me to get in.From St. Albans to London was like half an hour distance by train. It was a short trip I was willing to take to put an end to this madness. Of course, I couldn't go in the day for two reasons. One, clubs aren't exactly functional during the day. And two, I had no one to watch over the twins, so it made sense to leave when they were already fast asleep. Hence, I decided to wait till nightfall. ----Nightfall finally arrived. I never realized how long twenty-four hours actually was until today. I was basically watching the clock all day till sunset. I tucked the kids in bed rather early tonight, convincing them with the idea of going out for ice cream tom
280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 60: Under His Guard
Mariella’s POVMy first night here was far from comfortable. I guess the sudden drop from luxury to penury was not something I had adequately prepared for. I kept rolling back and forth on the thin mattress, which did nothing to cushion my body from the iron frame of the bed. The silence, which sh

Mariella’s POVI could feel the tension between Jose and Nun Charlotte. The smell of her lantern's oil mixed with the damp, earthy smell of the place only made the tension feel worse. Jose glared at her with enough intensity to scare the shit out of anyone. But Mother Superior didn't move an inch.

Mariella’s POV“Achhuuu!” I sneezed heavily, sniffling as I rubbed my forearm against my nose. We were in a black command van, parked a considerable distance away from the Marittima Warehouse. I sat in one of the chairs, wrapped in blankets that didn't seem to be of much help in stopping me from sh

Mariella’s POVIt was time. I got up from my bed and washed up as best as I could in my condition. While I was getting ready, Dr Aris’ words lingered in my head. He had told me that I needed total bed rest for a while to ensure my babies survive. But here I was, preparing to start a Mafia war. What
