I entered the building and it looked so old fashioned and quite dusty. It seemed like it'd been a long time since anyone entered. The inside was just like a wide one room apartment and all I saw were enlarged photos that were faced to the wall, all of them.

My eyes caught something towards the ceiling and when I looked well, I was terrified.

It was a scary painting of a dragon's face stained with blood, with its mouth spewing fire.

  • Betrothed to the Mafia Heir    Chapter 088

    I stayed still on the bed , shocked that he was home all these while. How long had he been here? How much did he hear? I battled with the questions roaming in my mind while trying to act at ease. “You won't like my next action if I dared to repeat what I just asked” Oh God! Everything would totally be discovered today! I was sure he'd figured out that my mom was staying with Don Juan, I was sure he'd connected the dots in his head. He'd never seen or heard me speak to her before and I was sure that he heard everything. I fidgeted as his tone increased a bit and I turned to sight him, leaning on the door leading to the closet area. He was only on a white singlet that clung to his torso and black sweater pants,his hands dipped into his pockets. “Erm….my mother. It's my mom”. I wanted to divert the discussion and ask why he was home by that time, but his warning rang in my ear. This wasn't the Ray that'd been sweet and lovely to me these past few days,

  • Betrothed to the Mafia Heir    087

    Lorna's POV ~I left the spot and went back to class. I already knew that some people would see my name and mock me for it. Yes, because why's the Mafia heir’s wife too broke that she hasn't completed her full tuition fees? My mind flashed back to my mother. Our relationship recently had been on a thin lose thread and what's probably still holding it was the fact that she birthed me. My life was this way because of her and my late dad. Now I'm the one dealing with it all alone, getting involved in dangerous games and married to a man that now rules a high crime organisation . She had probably forgotten that I still owed the school and who knows how her relationship with Don Juan is now. Does she even know the man is now threatening me because I couldn't kill Ray? Is she still staying with him? These thoughts rampaged my head as I walked back to the class not knowing when I bumped into someone. A hard hand pushed me back in a forceful way that I almost f

  • Betrothed to the Mafia Heir    086

    Jeremy wasn't himself throughout that day. He needed to see Dave face-to-face as he wasn't picking his calls. He'd texted him so many times yet he got no response. He couldn't imagine how Lorna must have said whatever she said to Dave. How did she even find out that was his brother? The question bothered him so much and he knew that he needed to find out how the conversation played out. He'd concluded on how he would ask Don Draco for a 2-day permit. Just as he kept pacing around in his room and wallowing in his thoughts , his phone buzzed of notification and he quickly opened it thinking Dave had responded to one of his texts only to notice the message was from Don Juan; “You're going to lure that shitty heir to my city. I have already planned it out. Call me later for more details “. He sighed. Is this envy, revenge or is this man obsessed with seeing Ray dead? Jeremy wondered. He'd gotten into a feud with his only family because of his Mafia activities and yet, he'

    The staff of the Art industry scattered all over the premises. They all seemed disorganised and gathered in groups at different spots. Some security personnel were outside the gate with arms whilst inside the building were the Seattle police officers accompanied by the Division Commander. Tension gripped everyone that morning when the Commander of the Seattle state police trooped into the premises with some police officers requesting to see the CEO, Ray. “He's not available “ . Valerie had said to the Commander. Others were uncertain and felt scared to speak to the officers but Valerie had been in this kind of situation so many times especially with the fact that her dad is part of the Mafia. “Not available or not around?” The middle aged man quizzed, stealing a glance at the watch on his wrist. “A combination of both “. She boldly responded with a wry smile. Her courage was unwavering like she had nothing to hide but the Commander had heard of Ray Wyatt . “Officers

    Lorna's POV:I had learnt to lie to Ray with confidence, not that I loved it, but the truth would cost me a lot. I thought he wouldn't believe me as usual, but this act paid off. I've got lectures today by noon so I wasn't rushing. I was in love with Ray already, but his ability to trust was gone and being in a relationship like marriage requires that. The way he questioned everything was getting tiring. I knew I had done a lot to betray him, but I was trying to right my wrongs. Even on days that I would speak the truth, he wouldn't believe me. I recalled those times and my countenance fell. Next thing I heard was “Kiss me”. I felt a bit flustered that he even had to ask. “No” I responded childishly, almost immediately and turned my face away. “Why?” He muttered close to my ear , I still faced the closet area. “Nothing “. I shrugged and rolled my eyes. “Perhaps you should say please “. I was making a joke, trying to mess with him playfully like most c

    Dave's mind was completely occupied throughout the night. His thoughts kept wondering from place to place, filled with questions like; “Why didn't he say he was working with the Mafia?, why did he hide it from me? What else do I not know about my own blood brother? So he's been coming here to pick and drop Lorna and yet he wouldn't think of his brother?” The thoughts were so much that his head started to hurt at some point and he was filled with so much anger against his brother. He felt betrayed….sidelined! To think that Lorna, his one time crush is now his brother's madam was sickening! And as he thought about it all , everything started making sense to him. No wonder Jeremy strongly advised him to leave Lorna alone and not to get involved in Ray Wyatts's business. He'd decided not to go to school the next day and didn't even know when he eventually slept off. Meanwhile, Don Juan had gotten a memo from Jeremy that Lorna didn't use the poison. The young man had keenly

    Before Ray could get home, Draco and his men were already back. "Ray isn't back?" Draco first asked Jeremy, immediately he got inside the main house. "Not yet Don " He responded, standing like a statue before Draco . "I see". He paused and snapped his fingers. The moment he did that, L

    The ring….the ring was what exposed me. "Stop with the lies, Lorna. Isn't that your marriage ring on your finger?" Owen pointed at it, as the ring glittered like a paid actor in that situation. Why was Owen doing that? What is his mission? I simply sighed, folding my hands whilst feelin

    "Sir.." she started, thinking of how she would ask the question or if it is actually wrong to ask that. "Anything else?" Ray quizzed, his eyes still on his laptop. Then, she started off with a sheepish smile and tried to make the question sound like a joke. "You know, I was just meani

    "Who ?" ...she was expecting to hear "what happened?", just so she could lie like she had done to Draco. But looking at Ray, she felt his glary eyes peering into her soul in such a way that he could dictate a lie. She, however, tried her luck. "I fell down and….""Who did this? Who cause
