Leonardo

The closer we moved towards the figure, the clearer it became that it was a man. Dressed in evening wear despite how remote the place was.

As we inched forward. He raised up a hand to signal for us to stop.

I applied brakes on the car and the car came to a stop just inches from him.

From the corner of my eye, I saw movement.

“Wait, let's hear what he says first.” I said to Cici because I knew how trigger happy he could get sometimes.

“He might be a ghost-”

“Shhh…” I

  • Contracted to the Mafia Boss Leonardo De Luca   Chapter 100 Wonders Never Cease

    Leonardo I stared at the photograph CiCi had sent. Then I looked at it again. And again. There were some faces a man never forgot, not because they were important. Not because they were particularly memorable. But because they had once convinced you to dig up a dead cat in the middle of the night. I slowly lowered my phone. "No. It can't be." Stan was sitting across from me, he and Luther had come as soon as they could when I told them we had a mole. "What?" He asked. I turned the photograph toward him. He looked at it once and his face went blank, then his eyes widened with recognition. "Oh, hell." "That's what I said." "That's him," he said. "That is the guy." "I know." Neither of us spoke for several seconds. From the other side of the office, Luther looked between us. "Who?" Stan pointed at the photograph. "That man." Luther stared at the screen. "I don't know him." "Exactly." I looked at him. "And that's the problem." Another message from CiCi appeared.So it'

  • Contracted to the Mafia Boss Leonardo De Luca   Chapter 99 One of Ours

    Leonardo Whatever was inside that envelope, Vincent hadn't brought it for himself. I watched the screen carefully. CiCi sat at the bar, staring straight ahead. Vincent beside him, neither man looked at each other. That was exactly how it needed to be because Vincent knew my brother. One proper glance at CiCi's face and the entire operation would be over, but CiCi understood the rules. He kept his attention on his drink while Vincent said something behind him. CiCi laughed but he still didn't turn. Then Vincent slid the black envelope across the bar. CiCi looked down at it. My phone vibrated.He gave me something. I typed back. Don't open it yet. A few seconds passed. You really know how to ruin a man's evening. I ignored him. On the screen, Vincent leaned against the bar and said something else. CiCi nodded casually. Then Vincent pointed toward the private corridor but CiCi shook his head. Whatever they were discussing, Vincent seemed amused which bot

  • Contracted to the Mafia Boss Leonardo De Luca   Chapter 98 The Black Envelope

    Leonardo I had spent enough time staring at photographs and documents. Thinking wasn't going to stop Vincent, or help me find Joseph Butler and it certainly wasn't going to tell me who had killed my driver. I reached for my phone, this time I didn't call Luther. I called CiCi. He answered on the fourth ring. "Yes, brother?" he answered lazily. "Where are you?" I demanded. "That depends," he drawled. I rubbed my forehead. "On what?" "Whether you're calling as my brother or as my boss." "Cici!" I growled. "Boss it is, then," he said, suddenly more serious. "Get to the house." "But I am at the house." "Then get to my office." He hesitated. "Should I be worried?" "In five," I warned before ending the call. Exactly four minutes later, the door swung open and CiCi strolled in carrying a half-eaten sandwich. I stared at the sandwich, then at him. He glanced down at it like he had forgotten that it was even there before glancing back at me. "What?" he asked

  • Contracted to the Mafia Boss Leonardo De Luca   Chapter 97 Keep your distance

    Leonardo The door closed behind Olivia and I stared at it for several seconds. Then I looked down at the file I was still holding. Olivia had remembered the day of the photographs. She remembered the man watching her and her father from across the street. She had remembered Elena. And most importantly, she remembered enough to know that whatever had happened to her father hadn't simply been bad luck. But she hadn't given me everything. I knew my wife well enough to recognize when she was hiding something. Olivia didn't lie easily. She didn't need to. She simply chose which pieces of the truth she was willing to hand you. And today, she'd handed me just enough to make me nearly dangerous. There had been an Elena. A woman who had disappeared from Olivia's father's house. A woman who had warned a nine-year-old girl about a man coming to collect on a deal. There was a missing piece. I just didn't know which one and where. I walked out of her room and back

  • Contracted to the Mafia Boss Leonardo De Luca   Chapter 96 The Why question

    Olivia I knew Leonardo was investigating my father before anyone told me. Men like Leonardo thought they were subtle. They weren't. A wife always knew when something was up. Especially when they were afraid of what they might find. I stood by the bedroom window, watching the black SUV disappear through the gates. Luther had left twenty minutes ago. Leonardo hadn't come with him which in itself was unusual. Normally, wherever Luther went, Leonardo wasn't far behind. But today, Leonardo had remained in his office. For hours and the door had stayed closed. No one had been allowed inside. Not even Rosa. That alone told me something was wrong plus since Cassie, I had a fine sense of what to look out for when it came to him. I turned away from the window. My eyes landed on the copy of a photograph that I had left on the dresser. It was the same photograph Leonardo had been staring at for days. The photograph of a little girl, which was me. I picked it up an

  • Contracted to the Mafia Boss Leonardo De Luca   Chapter 95 Why Henry

    Leonardo Sleep abandoned me before dawn, so I gave up trying. The photograph with the word FOUND lay on my night stand, refusing to let me look away from it. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Olivia's face, of cause, not the woman she was now. But the little girl in that photograph, the one who was watching and waiting. She looked like she already knew that life wasn't going to be kind to her, but more than anything, one question kept repeating itself. It wasn't about who Olivia was or why she had become the woman standing beside me today. The question was about me. It was about why I had settled her father's debt with marriage? Many men had owed me money before, and I had taken businesses, properties and accounts, even blood, but I had never married their daughters. So why Olivia? At the time, I had convinced myself it was punishment. Henry had gambled away money he couldn't repay. He had dragged his family into a mess that should have been his alone and Olivia h
