My Beloved Mafia

Chapter 2Human life is not always smooth sailing, and the same goes for Rose's life. As the first child of Jasmine Miles and Arnold Pennington, Rose Pennington was forced to endure a difficult life at the age of twenty-five.Arnold Pennington passed away due to chronic meningitis at the age of forty-two. The doctor said his condition was already severe and problematic. Unfortunately, Rose couldn't do anything to keep him alive. The savings she had after working at Aunt Liliane's small restaurant, her mother's friend, for a few months, couldn't help much either. The wise man closed his eyes in Rose's embrace.But her suffering didn't stop there. In the following years, her mother was also diagnosed with the same illness. Her condition wasn't as severe as Arnold's initially, but gradually, everything became worse.Jasmine could only lie in her place. Occasionally, she would go out just to check on her condition, which showed no signs of improvement.Before enduring this tormenting illn

Chapter 4The Previous Evening.Antonio observed the petite and agile woman lying in front of him with her eyes closed. His purpose in coming here was to trap Elliot and kill him as revenge for Matt's death. However, when Antonio set foot here, he unexpectedly encountered Rose wearing a low-cut nightgown that accentuated her curves. To be honest, he couldn't consider this girl in front of him as unattractive. He was still a normal man with a burning desire. The firm and challenging pair of breasts caught Antonio's attention from the moment he saw Rose in this room.Nevertheless, above all, Antonio's common sense and logic still functioned as usual. Because nothing was more suspicious than a woman placed as bait against a mortal enemy. He immediately reached for his phone and called someone."Nath, have you gone mad, huh?" Antonio became instantly emotional as soon as their call connected and he heard Nathan's voice."What? Is there something wrong, Boss? Do you have a problem?" Nathan

Chapter 6From any angle Nathan looked at it, he truly admired Rose. Never before had he seen a woman as bold as Rose who could stare at Antonio with such seductive facial expressions. Marquez Antonio was a mafia boss, the owner of the largest drug cartel trade that was feared by those who lived in the underworld. Of course, the man was feared and respected even by civil authorities since the exposure of the drug cartel network due to Elliot's carelessness.However, behind all of that, Nathan had to admit that every woman in New York who saw Antonio would automatically fall in love with him with just one blink and one smile. At first, he thought it was an exaggeration to describe a man's charm, until Nathan saw it with his own eyes. Yes, perhaps Rose was an exception because she was naturally not one of those naughty women who chased after sex for mere satisfaction or pleasure."You're enthusiastic, that's good," Antonio extinguished his cigarette and gazed at Rose intently. "Let's se

CHAPTER 8Rose went out in strange and embarrassing attire. But she didn't care at all. The streets were already crowded with people that morning. They started to pay attention to Rose from head to toe. Seeing the red dress she was carrying, the high-heeled shoes Rose wore, the messy makeup, and the improper loose clothing clinging to her body, anyone could guess that the woman had just spent the night at a man's house. Whether it was her boyfriend or a customer who paid her for the night.The neatly dressed women who were heading to the office looked at her disdainfully and whispered to each other to mock her. Meanwhile, the men who could still see the traces of Rose's innocent and sexy beauty whistled flirtatiously, hoping the girl would pause for a moment to indulge in their temptations. And of course, Rose didn't do that. She just focused on walking to the bus stop and quickly returned home."What kind of offer was that damn guy talking about?" Rose complained upon arriving home.

Chapter 10Rose stood in front of the path leading to Antonio's house. However, her heart was filled with uncertainty. She didn't know if the steps she was taking were right or wrong. Nevertheless, she felt as though this was the only option she had. Jasmine wouldn't survive much longer without undergoing surgery. And even though the doctor had stated that the woman wouldn't fully recover, at least Rose knew that her mother could live a little longer. Despite feeling that her actions were reckless and inhumane, the conclusion that lingered in the girl's mind remained the same: Antonio was the only solution."Are you sure, Rose?" the girl asked herself. "Are you sure?"There was no answer in her head. Her intuition knew it wasn't the solution, but her logic justified that Antonio was the only answer."Was I too hasty yesterday?" she monologued. "God, but I don't want to become a vendor of desires obligated to satisfy men!"Rose took a deep breath, lowered her head, and then gazed strai
