“That's a bad idea” . I simply stated after being mute for a while.

“You're the one looking at it that way. He'll appreciate your honesty and tactfully work on destroying the enemy here, the other Don “. She was making sense actually, but this wouldn't work on someone like a mafia heir. He would even get paranoid on realizing that I was actually involved in the hotel incident and punish me.

The truth will set you free, they say , but the truth will only lead you into damnation when it c

  • 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'

  • Betrothed to the Mafia Heir    085

    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

    The aroma of simmering stew clung to the kitchen walls as Valerie stirred the pot gently. Her hair was pinned up neatly, her lips glossed, her dress fitted like she was going on a date, just beneath the apron. The other maid servants had allowed her into the kitchen only for courtesy's sake even when most of them disliked her. She had taken the day off work, telling herself it was a perfect excuse to “surprise” him. A perfect little lunch, a glass of wine, maybe even time alone before the others returned. Her smile flickered as she imagined his face, the way it should’ve softened when he saw her waiting.She was about to add some scented herbs into the stew when the sound of heavy footsteps behind her cut through her fantasy.When she turned, her heart skipped. It wasn’t Ray.It was Don Draco.He stood at the entryway, cold eyes scanning her from head to toe. For the first time, Valerie’s confident mask cracked.“Valerie?” His voice was sharp, disbelieving. “What are you doing here…

    I got home around 1pm and realised no one was home except for the maid servants and two of Draco's men, Jeremy and Frank. It was surprising that Frank was home because I had since realised since I came into this family, that he was Draco's right hand man. So it was rather odd that he didn't follow Draco to wherever he went to. “Where's Ray?” I asked him first. “Out for an emergency meeting with the City Council “. He replied subtly. I could see Jeremy side eyeing me consciously, probably quizzing me with those stares. I walked out of there at once and while I passed the kitchen, I noticed a lady wearing an apron and so focused on her cooking. Her back was facing the entry door. “Helloo” I made my presence noticeable at least. And then when she turned, I realized it was Valerie. The shock on my face! She laughed out, a mockery laughter seeing the shock on my face as my lips remained wide open. “Surprised?” She grinned wickedly. “I honestly love that shocking

    "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

    (Lorna's POV): The Don concluded every of his words . He wasn't asking me to do those things or pleading for his own selfish interest, it was order upon order. "We ….i mean, i expect that you begin these in two days time. There's limited time to do this. Like you already know, Ray and Dra

    Everywhere was dead silent after Draco dropped those words. Klaus had a blank look, the one that depicts "he can truly murder you ".... Ray placed his elbows on the table, supporting his jaw with his folded hands and stared at his father. Giving a one-sided smile, he stated; "I wo

    Valerie was shocked to the bone marrow, on hearing the sounds from the background of the call. She had called Ray to get fully detailed information on why the gallery was still closed down. She had wanted to send him a text, but she chose to call since he was like a friend to her...only for he
