[Juliette’s POV]

I didn’t think it’d be that easy.

But why did Karl sound as though he was getting a death sentence?

I must ask him when he calls back. There seems to be something going on in the background with Papa’s email account.

Suddenly, motivation filled my veins.

I feel one step closer to the truth—one step closer to proving Ralph’s innocence.

Wait a sec. Am I saying that Ralph is innocent?

Well, anyone’s innocent until proven guilty, I defended myself, feeling like an idiot and a liar at the same time.

Do I want Ralph to be innocent?

Maybe starting a family with him won’t be as bad as I thought. We may be enemies but he’s potentially a good father, like Papa. And Papa chose him when he was most desperate.

Desperate.

My eyes lit up as an idea sprouted inside my head.

Papa was desperate! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen someone from the other side!

Ralph said that he trusted the Luxes because we’d never talk to his family. Perhaps Papa was in the same situation! P

  • Stolen by the Mafia King   Chapter 247: She's Dead to Us

    [Robert’s POV]He’s never seen the Don in such rage. Mr Smith had described it to him once, and Robert had a strong sense that he would finally be able to see it. He was mentally killing someone. With his bare hands. That sly fox Lux? When Madame was verbally slapping the Don for God knows what, that so-called Business King was grinning from ear to ear. That smug of satisfaction on his face, even Robert wanted to throw a punch at him.But as Madame turned from him, the Don reached out his hand wanting to grab her, to get her back. That full display of desperation showed Robert that Madame mattered the most to the head of the Virtus clan than his own pride. Even more than his family honour. Everything was out the window when he went for his most prized possession. If that son of a bitch lawyer hadn’t placed himself between them, the Don would have thrown his arms around his wife and dragged her into the limousine. Robert’s eyes widened with new knowledge: the Don was angry at himsel

  • Stolen by the Mafia King   Chapter 246: The Lux Defense

    [Harold’s POV]His plan is working. Naive. She’s too naive. Like her mother. Like all women. Just because they are the centre of human procreation, they think they know better. But they are just vessels. Empty. Stupid. And his daughter is the stupidest of them all. He watched everything come crumbling down on her face, and almost couldn’t hide his own satisfaction that was exploding inside. Now, she makes me look like the greatest fool, he thought, the corner of his lips lifted in a tiny smirk. “R-Ralph would never lie to me,” she said, her own doubt whispering underneath those words, and Harold Lux couldn’t hold back a chuckle. “Never?” He jabbed a finger on the table. “HE’S A VIRTUS! He would never tell a Lux the truth! Get that into your thick skull, you stupid girl!” The truth is always hard to take. She plonked herself back on the chair, looking completely lost. Her head swayed with disbelief, and Harold sensed the shattering of an alliance—a way back on track. “I forgive

  • Stolen by the Mafia King   Chapter 245: The Lux Attack

    [Juliette’s POV]Before the door came to a close behind me, Pauline said—-or whispered—beating me to the first word, “I think your father made it very clear over the phone yesterday, Juliette.” Here goes. I grabbed the iPad tightly and lifted my chin, not responding to a word until I sat down, and I took the seat next to Papa. The more Pauline spoke, the softer and more scratchy her voice got, which pains me to listen to it. I had to fight the urge to wince in sympathy. “So, here’s the deal, Juliette. Hand over the evidence you have, and we’ll back you up as CEO of Lux Corp.” I was stunned speechless. This was totally unexpected. Instead of giving me a laundry list of excuses, or berating me for scaring away all the investors, Papa is asking for the evidence I have at hand. He only wants the evidence? But—. “I don’t get it,” I blurted, completely taken aback. “I’ve shown it to you before. But you still chased me out.” My anger had swarmed in. “YOU THREW ME UNDER THE BUS.” Paul

  • Stolen by the Mafia King   Chapter 244: Phase 2 of The Lux-Virtus Plan

    [Juliette’s POV]The thought of dancing under the moonlight, amidst the warm sea breeze, has never crossed my mind until Ralph suggested it. “You’re such a bore.” He smiled with a teasing gaze as I did two twirls. He caught my waist at the perfect moment and pulled me close, snuggling my curves against his frame. That proud toothy grin of his made my heart lose its rhythm, and I lowered my chin to hide the heat in my cheeks. Hooking his elbow around my waist, he leaned in and whispered into my ear, “Why are you blushing?” “Because you’re handsome,” I whispered back and felt a shudder up my spine. Damn, that’s cringey. Thank God, he laughed at the right moment, or I’d have blushed harder. I grabbed more of his back to snuggle deeper and let my left cheek rest on his chest of muscles. Then, very naturally, a sigh of peace and relief left my lips.And very naturally too, he chuckled softly before planting a kiss on the top of my head. “Phase 1 over, kitten.” I closed my eyes to savo

  • Stolen by the Mafia King   Chapter 243: Battle of The Luxes

    [Juliette’s POV]Things turned out according to Ralph’s prediction. Papa’s gold mine got the news of my findings about Lux Corp and raced against time to meet me. Since there were over a thousand of them, from every corner of the world, Ralph suggested that I meet them all at once. With the help of an ally, we managed to rent a private island that was off the grid and had everyone gathered there for my presentation. It would be a massive one as I would be talking to thirty at a time. Am I nervous? Of course, I am. Even with Papa’s training, the nerves were still there. “You’ll be fine, kitten.” Ralph kissed my fingers, then brushed a loose strand behind my ear. “Numbers are your game.” “I know.” I checked the cue cards for the forty-first time. “But that doesn’t take the nerves away. It’s all your fault. You’ve turned it into some fucking TED talk.” Ralph chuckled. “Even if you cursed out there, it’ll be fine.” An hour later, I was done explaining to the audience of fifty ultra

  • Stolen by the Mafia King   Chapter 242: "Are You Disappointed, Kitten?"

    [Juliette’s POV]“Those VIPs of his casino?” I asked, still in disbelief. He flashed a nodding grin, and I jolted upright, a surge of admiration and awe to my face, and I beamed, grabbing his hands in excitement. “That’s what you’ve been up to?” Then, logic jetted in. “But how? Papa and I are the only ones with that list. And those ultra rich don’t listen to anyone but Papa.” “They listen to the one who leads the people doing their dirty jobs.” I stared speechless at the man who once saved me from a drug lord, and tried to sever all ties with the mafia, get his clan members cleaned up, and reform his family business. This man had done his best to go against the impossible, push the flow and ride the currents. Never once did he bow to failure, except to learn from it. Now, he’s back in the shadows, unable to shake off the darkness and his past, yet he shines far brighter than anyone. Papa may be standing in the light, but he’s as shady as a shady businessman can get. He was study
