280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 98: When Reality Hit
Mariella’s POVI shouldn’t have come.That was the first thought in my head as I stood in front of the door.The message had been simple. No name. No context. Just an address. And yet…I came anyway.I had pondered on the text all night. And even at night, the number sent me a date and time, and that was today and right now. I don’t know what I was expecting. Or why the hell did I even come here? I knew very well that whoever was playing this game was trying to manipulate me. And yet I followed willingly like a sheep to the slaughterhouse. Despite how foolish it might sound, I hoped coming here would prove Luciano's innocence. Even on the way here, I kept repeating to myself that Luciano loves me. He wouldn't hurt my feelings. At some point, I thought maybe it would be best if I just turned around and left. But something in my chest wouldn’t let me ignore it.So here I was.Standing in front of a private suite door in a hotel I had never been to. My hand hovered over the handle.Fo
280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 97: Cracks in Perfection
Mariella’s POVWe arrived in London early in the afternoon. The city felt…quieter. Or maybe it was just me.The ride from the airport to the mansion was uneventful. No tension or strange looks. No signs of anything being wrong. Luciano had assured me that the picture was a fake. So there was nothing to worry about. Right?I stole a glance at Luciano from the corner of my eye. He was as calm as always. There was nothing out of the ordinary. Yet I felt uneasy. No matter how much I tried to convince myself that the picture was fake, the feeling of unease in my gut wouldn't leave. While my mind got clouded with thoughts, Luciano had his eyes glued to his phone. He was typing something, probably responding to work. With him, work never seemed to stop. It was always work, unending calls and messages. They didn't bother me much before. It was normal. At least, it used to be. But now, I've got paranoid when I saw him texting. Could it really be work all the time? What if…I looked away quic
280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 96: Choosing to Believe
Mariella’s POVHe woke up a few minutes later.I heard the shift in the sheets and the quiet exhale. Then his voice was still rough with sleep.“You’re up early.”I didn’t turn immediately. I stayed by the window, arms folded lightly, watching the city below.“Apparently,” I responded, my voice blunt. There was brief silence after my words. “You okay?” He asked. That made me glance back. He was sitting up now, one hand braced slightly against his side, careful of the wound. Even like that, he still looked as composed as ever. The fact that he treated bullet wounds like paper cuts was something I still couldn't wrap my head around. I walked back slowly, stopping a few steps away from the bed. For a second, I just looked at him. Then I held out my phone.“Who is she?” I asked. No build-up or soft entry. Just straight to the point. His gaze dropped briefly to the screen. Then back to me. His expression didn’t change.“What the hell is that?” He asked. “You're asking me?” “Uhhm…yes?
280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 95: A Picture of Doubt
Mariella’s POVI woke up to silence and the golden rays of the morning sun filtering through the window blinds. For a moment, I didn’t move. Just lay there, staring at the ceiling, trying to figure out where I was. Then it came back to me — Paris, the balloon, and the floating lanterns.“Luciano,” I muttered, turning my head slightly. He was still asleep beside me, which was quite a rare sight. We had been married for five years, and yet I could count how many times I'd actually seen him sleep. He was either in his study, reading. Or taking a stroll in the garden. And even when he was beside me on the bed, he was usually awake, just thinking in silence. So seeing him sleep, like not half-aware or pretending – but actually sleeping, was rather surprising. I studied him for a second.The steady rise and fall of his chest. The faint crease between his brows that never really went away, even in sleep.Then my eyes drifted lower, to the bandage. I shook my head.“You’re impossible…” I m
280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 94: The Better Weapon
Sophia’s POV“Yes, Dad, I just landed,” I said. My dad was such a worrywart. “You don't have to send anyone. I already booked an Uber….Yeah…. I'm not coming home right away, though. I have to do something first…. alright. Yes, I'll be safe…Love you too….Bye.”I dropped my phone back in my purse, shaking my head. I had just arrived in London, and my dad was already pestering me. I looked through the tinted window, and it was surprising how the city hadn't changed a bit since the last time I was here. I watched the bustle and hustle of the London nightlife. The streets were flooded with people. I kind of missed the vibe, to be honest. Neon lights flickered across the glass, reflecting briefly in my eyes before disappearing again.London.It had been a while. A really long one. “Ma’am, we’re here,” the driver said as the car came to a halt. I didn’t respond immediately. My gaze lingered on the skyline for a second longer… then I reached for the door handle and stepped out.The air felt
280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 93: Late… But Not Gone
Mariella’s POVThe moment I stepped onto the rooftop…I froze.The sight was breathtaking. There were roses everywhere and red petals scattered across the ground forming a path. The entire scene was dimly illuminated by red scented candles flickering softly in the night breeze. And the star-studded night sky made the view even more beautiful. As I basked in the warm glow of the romantic scenery, something caught my eye. A large, elegant sign that read; Happy Anniversary.I blinked, confused as to what I was seeing. “Happy anniversary?” I whispered. I felt a fluttering sensation in my chest. But then again…a thought hit me. Anniversary of… what?I walked further in, my heels clicking softly against the floor as I looked around in awe. This wasn’t just beautiful. It was intentional. I could almost tell how much Luciano must have thought this out.But why was he going so far to do this? I knew this was no ordinary date; we had been on plenty of those already. This was special. But
280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 77: Rumors
Luciano’s POVBy morning…Marcello De Luca was dead again. At least, that’s what I was about to tell the world. The Commission chamber was full. Every seat was occupied, and every pair of eyes watched me, waiting. They had all heard something, not everything. But enough. In our world, rumors move f
280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 75: He’s Still Here
Mariella’s POVNo one slept that night. No one could. The mansion was quiet, but it wasn’t the peaceful kind of quiet. It was the weird kind of quiet that seemed to listen back. I sat at the edge of the twins’ bed, watching them. Antonio had insisted the lights stay on — could I blame him? I was s
280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 74: Perfect Illusion
Luciano’s POVThe hallway was empty, too empty. My footsteps echoed softly against the marble as I moved through the mansion.Behind me, there was silence, and ahead of me, there was also silence, a very unnerving silence. There were no alarms, no gunfire, no signs of forced entry anywhere. And ye
280 Days With The Mafia King Chapter 73: Enemy Within
Mariella’s POVThe house didn’t feel the same anymore. Ever since that strange chess piece entered this house, the energy shifted, very subtly. If you didn’t know what to look for, you wouldn’t notice it.The guards were still at their posts. The cameras still blinked quietly in the corners. The st
