Olivia

"Follow my lead. " Anna winked at me as I followed her to the entrance and I gasped out loud when I peeked inside the hall.

She pulled me to the side, pretended to smooth out my hair "Take it all in and get used to it." She said while keeping her eyes on my head.

I took a deep breathe and nodded, butterflies soaring inside my stomach. This was the most exclusive event I had ever set foot in. How did anyone in their right mind get used to something like this?

  • 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

  • Contracted to the Mafia Boss Leonardo De Luca   Chapter 94 Found

    LeonardoAfter an endless day of trying to put my ducks in a row, sleep refused to come.The mansion had long since surrendered to the night. The laughter that had echoed through the halls earlier was gone, replaced by the familiar silence that settled over the estate after midnight.I used to love this peacedful time until...well I started questioning my very existence. Now I hated the silence. It gave me too much time to think. The untouched glass of whiskey sat on the corner of my table, the ice having melted hours ago. Beside it lay the file Luther had left me earlier in the evening on Olivia. I'd been postponing going back to it all day but as I opened the door that led to my balcony, I felt it's weight around my hand again. I had read it so many times that I no longer saw words, just questions. I consoled myself that the file had been compiled at the last minute, surely whatever I had seem, Christopher probably didn't have the time to double check everything. Three deliber

  • Contracted to the Mafia Boss Leonardo De Luca   Chapter 93 The Unknown

    Leonardo The office door closed behind me with a solid click and I could breath again. Out there, people laughed. Dogs stole slippers. My wife smiled at my misery. But in here, reality waited. Luther stood by the window while I poured myself a whiskey I had no intention of drinking. "The shipment," I said. Luther who had been typing something on his phone answered, "Recovered boss, but the trucks were burned after the attack." "And the cargo?" I asked "Gone." He said. My jaw tightened. This was three months of negotiations. Thousands of rounds and not to mention millions of pounds and everything was gone overnight. "Did they leave a message?" Luther nodded once."They carved a symbol into the driver's chest." I didn't ask which who the symbol belonged to because I already had a feeling that Vincent was behind it. The bastard never hid behind anonymous killings. He wanted everyone to know he'd been there. Fear was his signature. I set the untouched glass o

  • Contracted to the Mafia Boss Leonardo De Luca   Chapter 92 Gone To Hell

    Olivia The silence after I mentioned Melanie was almost impressive. Leonardo stared at me, his coffee forgotten in his hand. Before either of us could say another word, footsteps echoed down the hallway. They were fast and measured. The only other person who walked like that other than Leonardo was one of his minions. True to form and shape, Luther appeared in the kitchen doorway, dressed in his usual black suit, his face giving away absolutely nothing. "Boss." He said Leonardo let out a quiet sigh. "What is it?" Luther's eyes briefly flickered toward me and CeCe. "We have a situation." "Of course we do," Leonardo muttered. CeCe quietly slid his toast onto a plate without much interest to whatever Luther was about to say. "I have somewhere to be." He remembered. "You sit back down," Leonardo said without looking at him. CeCe obediently sat and Luther continued as though nothing had happened. "The harbor called." He said and it was my turn to sigh inwardly whi

  • Contracted to the Mafia Boss Leonardo De Luca   Chapter 91 One Name

    Olivia Leonardo reached for the coffee pot and poured himself a cup, his eyes never leaving me. "I've missed that." He said looking at me. I raised an eyebrow. "The coffee?" "The smile." He said. I let out a soft chuckle. "You should lower your expectations." "I'd rather not." He leaned against the kitchen island, looking far more relaxed than I'd seen him in weeks. "So..." he began. "Does this mean we're finally calling a truce?" He gestured upstairs and I knew he was referring to Cassie being home. I tilted my head. "Were we at war?" I asked. He laughed quietly. "It certainly felt like it." "That's because you kept standing in the line of fire." CeCe made a strangled sound that was suspiciously close to laughter. "I suddenly remembered I have somewhere else to be," he announced, grabbing a slice of toast. I looked at him, I knew he was running away from me and Leonardo, probably giving us space. "You've been looking for cheese for the last ten minu

  • Contracted to the Mafia Boss Leonardo De Luca   Chapter 90 Land Of The Dead

    Olivia The mansion felt lighter. It was strange how the return of one tiny person could breathe life back into a house that had been suffocating for weeks. Cassie's laughter echoed somewhere down the hallway, followed by Rosa's mock scolding and another burst of childish giggles that made me smile before I could stop myself. For once, I wasn't thinking about revenge or rummaging through Leonardo's family secrets,god knew I had done enough of that. Things had unfolded exactly as I'd hoped. Cassie was home, and that was enough for me. I wandered into the kitchen, drawn by the smell of fresh coffee. CeCe was pacing between the kitchen island and the refrigerator, rummaging through shelves like a starving bear looking for its last meal. He turned the moment he sensed me. "Well," he said dramatically, placing a hand over his chest. "Look who's smiling. Should I call a priest? We may be witnessing a miracle." I rolled my eyes as I walked over to the coffee machine. "I'm smiling
