A Toy For The Ruthless Mafia Lord Chapter 30
CHAPTER 30Katherine stared outside the window, flipping the pages of a book that rested in her lap. This was the 5th book this week, and she was already growing weary. She sat perched on the edge of the window sill wondering when this whole thing would be over. Even since the shooter had attacked, everyone was on edge, most especially Lucifer. Alongside him constantly was Anthonio. Sometimes, as they passed through the house, she could feel his eyes on her lingering for a short while. When she finally realized that she was being observed, he'd peel his eyes away from her, avoiding her gaze.She found it odd, but did it really matter? They rarely ever spoke, and she was sure there'd be no reason to until she left this house for good. Anthonio was just the capo, nothing else—nothing special.Apart from this, she was tired of being in this house. It didn't help that she had no one to converse with, or any other thing to do. Gardening was a hobby that she loved and had just recently go

CHAPTER 31“Do you like your surprise?” Lucifer whispered, slithering his arm around Katherine's waist. She gazed around, taking in the elegant, calm atmosphere. The soft glow of candlelight cast a warm, inviting ambiance over the room. A lone pianist sat at a grand piano, his fingers dancing across the keys, creating a soothing masterpiece. The gentle hum of patrons’ conversations and the tinkling of silverware filled the air, along with the rich aroma of simmering sauces and freshly made pasta. Katherine could feel her heart pounding in her chest wildly as her eyes went over the room once again. She'd never been somewhere this elegant. Maybe just with the rich family she used to work for, as an usher, but never as a customer. She looked down at her dress, pulling it down gently, and back to the patrons all at their individual tables. “Well…this surprise would be much better if you weren't here with me," she drawled, a sarcastic smirk playing on her lips.Lucifer scoffed, guidin

Chapter 32Lucifer pressed a finger up to his lips, still holding Katherine down. They were in a very dangerous position right now, and if anything went wrong, he doubted they’d make it out safely. Giovanni paused in front of the stall that they were in, and Katherine’s breath caught for a moment. She didn’t even know what was going on and she was still so weak from her climax earlier. From the bottom of the stall, she could make out transparent heels and the other pair of feet seemed like a man’s feet.“So? How’s it going?” Giovanni asked, tapping his foot on the floor impatiently. He folded his arms in front of him as the lady before him, brought something out. The crinkle of paper could be heard echoing throughout the bathroom and Lucifer couldn’t help but wonder what it was—and who it was.They shared silent acknowledgments and the lady slipped the paper back into her purse silently. “And you’re sure that this information you’re giving me is correct?” Giovanni cocked a brow, st

Chapter 33The mansion had always been a cage, but now, as she stepped into its wreckage, Katherine felt something she never expected: the crushing weight of loss. At first, the penthouse looked just as they had left it—until a low groan came from the shadows, breaking the illusion of safety.Lucifer and Katherine had arrived at the mansion a few minutes ago, but to their surprise, the lights had been shut out. They had to remain in the car, and wait until the power supply was fixed.Now, standing in the parlor, it looked like a war had ensued. Katherine’s hand flew to her mouth in shock and her body trembled with fear as her unease grew with each step leading deeper into the house. The curtains had been sort of torn off and were strewn around the couches. The furniture in the room had been overturned in a reckless manner and the paintings were lopsided, some even left broken on the floor. Did a bulldozer run through here?Katherine shook her head, looking around the wrecked room as s

CHAPTER 34The reflection in the back view mirror sent a jolt of terror through Katherine's body. On the woodsy roads, a pair of glowing, green eyes stared back at her from the darkness. unblinking and unnatural still. Whoever it was the figure was barely visible, cloaked in shadows, but it's predatory gaze was unmistakable. The sight made Katherine sick, as if all her stomach's contents were about to tumble out. Her throat tightened as the creature—person, whatever—tilted its head slightly, almost as if studying her. Then with a sudden, swift movement, it disappeared. Vanished without a trace, as if it was never there, leaving the lingering feeling of being hair.“Katherine,” Lucifer nudged, trying to turn her head back around to face front. “Katherine, you can't look back!” He yelled, annoyed. All the hair on her skin stood attentively as she couldn't seem to peel her eyes off of the road. “Lucifer…” She whispered, her voice barely audible as her heart nearly jumped out of her

CHAPTER 35At first, Katherine heard one gunshot.A long silence followed. Then, she heard two more pops—deafening and heart-shattering.Whimpering, she collapsed onto the ground, shifting herself into the corner of the panic room. Her heart felt heavy, and her breathing became ragged as she curled up, her thoughts unstable.After that, she didn't hear anything anymore. Not for the next five or ten minutes, until she heard the sound of shoes crunching on gravel from the small window near the ceiling behind her.It sounded as though something was being dragged across the floor. Was it Lucifer? Was that his body being dragged?Keeping mute, she pressed her hands to her ears, blocking out the nauseating sound. She didn't even want to hear it—regardless of thinking about who it was or how they'd been executed gruesomely.She rocked herself unsteadily, gripping onto the edge of the steel table beside her. In a few minutes, she felt the door of the panic room crack open, and her head flew u

CHAPTER 36“You don't. But it's best if you accompany me. I can't afford to leave you alone in the cottage now,” he said sternly, his voice full of authority. Reluctantly, Katherine nodded, and Lucifer got down from the car, crossing to the other side and pulling the door open for her. She stepped out, gently raising her diamond-embedded red dress to keep it from dragging on the floor. The dainty necklace that rested on her neck complimented the dress perfectly, along with the dangle earrings. Lucifer fixed up the tie of his black suit, straightening the arms out before taking hold of her arm. Together, they walked through the back entrance of the club and took an elevator down to where the auction club was happening. The venue seemed to be dripping with elegance itself, with a spacious stage in the upper front and other fancy tables situated behind it. Guests turned their heads as soon as Lucifer and Katherine walked in, and little murmurs filled the venue. Katherine's face h

Chapter 37The crowd erupted in a series of gasps. “It’s going…” The auctioneer chanted, as each guest held their breath. Katherine glanced around, watching how they were all so intensely focused on this veiled girl before them, and most importantly, Lucifer. She seemed to pique his interest, and Katherine could tell by her aura, but she wanted to know why exactly.“And…sold!” The auctioneer said with a delighted smile, gesturing towards Lucifer. All eyes immediately turned to the man who could spend so much on an assassin. Some wondered why he wanted her so much to bid that high, while other's minds ventured to insidious plans that he could be plotting. After all, from now on, they’d have to be on their toes. From the other side of the room where he sat, Giovanni’s eyes narrowed, staring at Lucifer. There was something there, but he couldn’t place a finger on it---not yet. He cleared his throat uneasily, shifting uncomfortably in his seat.The auctioneer led the veiled lady down t

CHAPTER 143Usually he would wear black but not today. Today wasn't one of those days when he would dress to scare.Instead, he wore a soft grey sweater and faded jeans. His usual scowl was replaced with a calmer and softer look. He didn’t walk like death today, rather he walked like a stranger trying not to scare a cat.The room's back door creaked when he entered, with arms full of plush toys, bright snack bags, and a pink-and-purple doll set tucked beneath one elbow. He ordered his guards to stay outside. Today was for him and the girls.The faint scent of old crayons and spilled juice filled the living room and the little girls sat huddled on a couch, with eyes wide opened. They seemed to be playing but the moment they saw him, they scrambled backwards. Madelaine darted behind the couch and Adelaide crawled under the coffee table with her bunny.Lucifer set the things down slowly on the couch. “I’m not here to hurt you,” he said, with a very low and careful voice. “I brought you s

CHAPTER 142Katherine sat on the edge of the oversized velvet armchair, with her arms crossed tightly over her chest and her eyes fixed on the floor. There was a brief and suffocating silence like if one of them dared make a noise, Someone might end them.Giovanni poured two glasses of red wine. He took his time with it, swirling the liquid, and watching it settle.“You look good,” he muttered as his eyes lingered on her, taking in her curves in the red dress. “What’s the occasion?”“Don’t do that,” she said quietly, her voice tight. “Didn’t you say you needed to... talk to me?”“Oh? You do like hearing things don't you?” he whispered, with a smirk.Katherine swallowed. “Why... why am I here?”“Because I enjoy your company,” Giovanni said with a wide grin.Katherine’s jaw clenched, and she shook her head, her eyes darting toward the door. “I don’t want to stay. Please let me go.”“Not until I decide,” Giovanni said.Katherine’s breath hitched as she forced herself to meet his eyes, wh

CHAPTER 141The early morning air was chill as it occupied Asher’s lungs. Breathing in was hard and it made his insides numb. His feet hit the pavement in rhythm as he jogged, left, right, left. Almost as though he was trying to outrun the problem in his chest. The streets were empty and the sky still gray with dawn. He sighed deeply.He needed this.Ever since Lucifer’s visit… the blood, the screaming, the stench of gunpowder, it all haunted him. But worse than the pain in Lucifer's voice or his sister ’s sobs, was the realization that Katherine had never made it home.Lucifer hadn’t said it outright, but Asher could almost taste it in his words. Katherine was still missing and if she was alive, he couldn't tell.He jogged faster, trying to drown out the thoughts from within and his breath fogged in the cold air.The sound of the ringtone breaking the silence, interrupting his music and the vibration in his pocket stopped him dead in the tracks. He slowed and pulled out his phone.W

CHAPTER 140The sky was a thick shade of ash and the rain poured heavily against the rooftop of thel bungalow like it was trying to peel it off. Lightning darted across the sky and the thunder rumbled every now and then.Lucifer pushed his hair out his face and held his weapon tightly as he stood before the metal gate, with two of his guards flanking him with stone-cold faces and their guns already drawn.“Clear anything in the way but the family,” he ordered. “Yes, lord,” they said and aimed their guns.The dogs came first, walking up and down in distress. It was almost as though they could sense them. Three of them barked and charged which pissed Lucifer off. He had wanted a silent announcement but all thanks to the dogs for being the SOS.The dogs didn’t make it past the gate because Lucifer already raised his gun with a strong calculation and fired. Three bullets, three thuds and their barks rolled back into their throats before it was followed by a defeating silence.They forced

CHAPTER 139Katherine’s head ached. She couldn’t tell how long she’d been down there. The days bled together, and she couldn't tell the night from the day and all through, food was passed to her in a tray, slid underneath the dungeon gates. But she couldn't bring herself to eat it even though it smelt good— looked good. It was left untouched and taken out the next day.Every night she cried herself to sleep, calling Noah’s name until her throat was raw. Her stomach ached, but she refused to eat. It wasn’t hunger that gnawed at her, it was the grief and fear of something happening to her son.Each time the door opened, she screamed for Noah, hoping it was him, but it was one of those cruel guards.And each time, she was beaten for it.A week went by, and she was on the same spot, bruised, and weak and also thin. But she never stopped. She was cold. Hungry. Tired. The only thing keeping her sane was the thought of Noah. Of holding him again.And Lucifer.God… she hated herself for it, b

CHAPTER 138Katherine stepped out of the Landan house looking weary. She had no idea how long she was going to walk before she could get into town. Asher had given her a small map but she had seemed to forget how to use those things. It was a bit tricky but she had thanked him for his kind gesture. And she had to be quick else this was the time that the Landans usually returned and if they saw her on the road that could lead to other complications.The goodbye with the girls, the way Asher pressed that card into her hand, she couldn't stop thinking of it all. she held Noah tightly to her chest. She had no idea how heavy he had become. He was a big baby, warm but really had enough healthy weight.She draped the blanket over her shoulders tightly. Her back ached and her shoulders but she needed to get away from there first.She hadn't even gone a distance until a black van pulled up behind her. She paused in her tracks looking around for where to dash into but it was too late.She drop

CHAPTER 137Katherine’s fingers trembled as she folded the last piece of clothing into the worn, faded bag. Her vision blurred, hot tears clouded the shapes of everything in the room.She sniffled, biting her lip hard enough to hurt. Why did he have to show up? He shouldn't have even tried to. She was fine without him, was figuring life out by herself.A soft knock came at the door, and before she could answer, tiny feet padded in. Adelaide and Madelaine with their eyes round and curious, stood in the doorway. When they saw the tears streaming down Katherine’s face, they didn’t ask what was wrong rather they simply moved to her. The two little girls wrapped their arms around her legs, holding her tight.Katherine dropped to her knees and gathered them into her arms, pressing their heads against her shoulders as the sobs came harder.“Will I ever see you again?” Madelaine asked, her voice shaky and her eyes glossy with tears.Adelaide clung to her tighter. “I don’t want you to go…”Ka

CHAPTER 136Asher sat with Noah resting quietly in his arms, the child’s tiny face pressed against his chest. His little hands clutched at Asher’s shirt without even knowing why. Asher glanced down at him and for the first time really looked. Although both parents Dna had contributed to the boy, his eyes… they were just like his father’s,Lucifer Cain.The ruthless, famous man whose reputation made even hardened men lower their heads. So this was the person Katherine had been running from all this time. The deadly Mafia.He wanted to know how she ended up with him. He had called her wife, asked for his son, showed possession and Katherine was vulnerbale. So vulnerbale and broken. Even after he left, she was still sitting in silence and trembling.Asher swallowed hard as he tried to put his messy thoughts together. The first time he heard of Lucifer, he had wanted to look for a way to harm Ethan. To set him up and fuck him up. But he couldn't stand it. He couldn't stand them. They wer

CHAPTER 135The house was quiet, except for the soft sound of the old ceiling fan and the gentle scratch of a cloth as Katherine wiped down the table. The scent of cleaning solution hung in the air. She hummed as she cleaned, trying to relish the moment and clear her head, before the doorbell rang.Her hand froze mid-wipe, cloth pressed against the wood. The sound came again, persistently, like it needed attention.It was just her and Asher home. And no one came here.No one should.Her chest tightened. She didn't want to do this. Not again.Day after day, boxes arrived. Packages filled with things she never asked for — diapers, clothes, money and various self care she could never afford. She wanted to throw them out, burn them, scream at the sky, but she didn’t.Instead, she let them pile up in Asher’s room, turning his space into a cramped storeroom of her trash. The Landans’ patience had run thin and she couldn't blame them. Kind people had their limits.The bell rang again, caus
