Sold to the Mafia king Chapter 146: A touch of paranoia
Carlino's POVI sat slumped in the rigid plastic chair outside the ICU, the echo of my restless boots tapping a frantic, endless rhythm against the sterile floor. The paperwork was done, but the waiting was so much suffocating. The heavy door finally swung open, and the doctor stepped out. I shot up instantly, my jaw clenched."She has lost a lot of blood," he said, pulling off his gloves. "She needs an urgent transfusion. What's her blood type?""O positive," I replied without a second's hesitation.The doctor nodded. "Thank you. We'll pull a match from the blood bank." He turned and hurried down the corridor.I sank back into the chair, rubbing my temples. I knew everything about Lina. Every single detail. Her favorite food, the exact dress that made her smile, her preferred drink, the cakes and snacks she bought when she was stressed—I had researched it all meticulously after we parted. It wasn't just memory, it was an obsession. Recalling her blood type was second nature.Aiden’s
Sold to the Mafia king Chapter 145: Accident
Carlino's POVAs I took step after step, I felt the weight in my chest growing heavier. It was so crushing that every movement felt like I was climbing a mountain. When I finally got back to the hotel room, I noticed the package of food Aiden had left on the nightstand beside my bed. I stared at the food, and it seemed to stare right back at me.Dropping onto the mattress, I fixed my gaze on the ceiling. I wasn't looking at anything in particular. My eyes remained locked on a single spot while my thoughts spiraled elsewhere.I needed to take my pills tonight. I needed to sleep. I needed to forget this pain, even if it was only for a few hours.I rushed to my bag and rummaged through it, searching for the medicine. I couldn't find it. Frustrated, I emptied the contents onto the floor, scattering clothes everywhere, but it still wasn't there. Then I unzipped the second compartment. There it was. Lying there quietly.I picked up the bottle and swallowed a higher dosage than the doctor ha
Sold to the Mafia king Chapter 144: The price of my sins
Carlino's POVLina’s footsteps started storming toward us. "Rotha! Erla!" she yelled. "What did I tell you about talking to strangers?" She snapped, dragging them away from me. "How many times have I warned you two?"My blood ran cold just seeing her upfront again. She was furious, but at the same time, undeniably beautiful. She smelled fresh, like rainfall on dry land. My heart broke when she used the word “stranger”. I really was nothing but a stranger to my own kids, they had no idea I was their father. And Lina? I couldn't even blame her. I wanted to turn around and walk away, but my boots felt rooted to the concrete. My eyes stayed glued to her."But Mama—" Erla started."No! You do not leave my sight like that!""But Mama—""What if something happened to you?" Her voice bled with pure panic.I finally mustered the courage to turn around, taking my first heavy step away."Mama, listen first," Rotha’s voice whined behind me.I picked up the pace, but Lina’s voice stopped me dead i
Sold to the Mafia king Chapter 143: The same person, right?
Carlino's POVMorning came too quickly. I hadn't slept a wink, and work was the furthest thing from my mind. I just stayed holed up in my room, drinking and smoking the hours away. By now, I knew Lina had to be awake.I sniffled, setting the glass down on the table and stubbing out the cigarette in the overflowing ashtray.What the hell had I become? A man the entire underworld feared to cross was now terrified of facing the woman he loved. I let out a harsh, bitter laugh. The great Carlino Silvio Lacentra was reduced to nothing. The very throne that gave me absolute power had destroyed me. And the worst part? That throne was the only life I had ever known.God damn it.The rage built up inside me, surging through my veins until my chest burned with it. If only… I grabbed the glass beside me and hurled it against the wall, watching it shatter."No!" The scream ripped from my throat."Father, you’re the root of all of this. You’re the cancer rotting me from the inside out. You took eve
Sold to the Mafia king Chapter 142: A memory to be stolen by dawn
Carlino's POV I couldn't bring myself to reply."I think you're Carlino," she murmured, her words slurring together as her fingers tangled deeper into my shirt. "You are, aren't you?" She staggered against me. She was so entirely certain. She hadn't bought my lie for a single second."Where are you taking me, Carlino?" she asked, blinking heavily. "Huh? You think I don't know?"I stayed quiet, listening to her rambling. Even if I wanted to respond, what could I possibly say?"My heart tells me you're Carlino," she continued, cutting through my silence. "And I love you. My heart can't lie to me. It won't."She spoke with such fierce confidence. Even dead drunk, there was something utterly captivating about her. The way she stumbled over her words, the way her body moved completely out of her own control—it was beautiful.Suddenly, a loud laugh burst from her, shattering the quiet of the bar. "He is," she nodded to herself, laughing again. "He is. Okay, okay. Wait..." She twisted aroun
Sold to the Mafia king Chapter 141: The trap I couldn't escape
Carlino's POV"Carlino…" he began, unable to finish."You do not touch her, Aiden," I said slowly, my eyes locked onto his."Yeah, I know bro. My mistake.""I told you not to call me bro, Aiden.""Yeah, whatever.""I'm serious, Aiden, you do not have the right to touch her, not even in my absence," I warned."I'm sorry," he apologized.I moved forward, leaving him behind, as I tried to control my rage. A few seconds later, I heard his footsteps jogging after me until he caught up. As usual, he began rambling about one thing or another, but none of it registered.My thoughts were elsewhere. On Lina. I wondered what she was feeling right now. Had she believed the lie I fed her? Or had she simply chosen to ignore it because she couldn't bear my presence? Another question suddenly surfaced in my mind."Why did you use Ace when you called out to me?""Have you forgotten that was the name you wanted to use when you first came to California?" he responded.Oh. I had forgotten."Should we g

Lina's POV The drive back to the estate was completely silent. Carlino sat beside me, still and unreadable. Cold. Numb. His eyes were fixed on nothing, like the world outside the window no longer existed. I’d had my chance to leave. To escape this hellhole. To walk away from his crumbling, rotti
