The Capo's Deadly Bride    Chapter 8
When Delilah and Mary finally reached their apartment, the driver gave a polite nod before driving off into the night. Delilah watched the car disappear, her thoughts still tangled with the odd exchange she'd overheard earlier. She and her aunt quietly entered the apartment.Mary wasted no time sinking into the living room couch, rubbing her temples as if the evening had been exhausting. Delilah, on the other hand, remained standing by the door for a moment, her mind racing. She hadnât wanted to bring up what sheâd overheard in the carâtoo risky with the driver nearbyâbut now that they were alone, she couldnât let it go."Aunt Mary," Delilah began, her voice cutting through the silence. "What were you and Elder Donato talking about earlier?"Mary looked up, startled by the sudden question. "What do you mean?""At the table," Delilah clarified, stepping closer. "I heard you talking to him. What were you discussing?"Mary blinked, trying to maintain her composure. "Oh, we were just

But just as Marco opened his mouth to suggest skipping the formalities, the sound of a loud car engine echoed through the quiet ceremony space, shattering the stillness.Both Delilah and Marco turned their heads toward the entrance, confusion crossing their faces. Marcoâs brow furrowed as he exchanged a quick glance with the officiant, who seemed just as bewildered.Suddenly, the heavy doors to the church swung open, and a group of rugged men marched in. They moved with an air of purpose, their boots stomping against the stone floor, echoing through the sanctuary. The metallic glint of guns in their hands made Mary tremble, her fear evident in the way her face drained of color. She clutched her hands together, looking between Marco and the men, her breaths quick and shallow.Gino and Marco exchanged brief looks of alarm. Neither of them had brought their guns; they hadnât expected violence here in the sanctity of the church. Most especially when no one was aware of their wedding

Delilah's mind was spinning, her thoughts a chaotic blur of fear and anger. The cold metal of Vincentâs gun pressed against her skin, and the horror of the situation sank in fully. She had fought so hard to stop this wedding, yet nothing had prepared her for this kind of obstacleâa twisted takeover of her life. A strange, dangerous man had claimed her as his bride, and now she was staring down a fate she could never have imagined.Marcoâs entire body screamed with frustration, his muscles tense as he watched helplessly. His blood boiled at the sight of Delilah in Vincentâs grip."Sheâs mine," his mind roared. "Not his. I wonât let him take her." But his hands were still bound, and there was nothing he could do.Vincent, still smirking with that cruel satisfaction, turned to one of his men. "Bring me the documents," he ordered, his voice dripping with confidence.One of the rugged men stepped forward, fumbling in his jacket before pulling out a set of papersâmarriage documents. The

As soon as they reached the hospital, Marco opened his eyes and straightened up. Gino pulled the car into the parking lot, and the two of them stepped out. The sterile scent of the hospital hit Marco as they entered through the sliding doors, and his eyes quickly scanned the waiting area. Delilah was there, pacing anxiously, her eyes fixed on the floor as she chewed on her bottom lip.Her usual confident demeanor was gone, replaced with something more fragile, more real. She hadnât noticed Marco yet, her mind clearly consumed with worry.Marco walked toward her, but before he could say anything, the doors to the examination rooms swung open, and a doctor stepped out, his face unreadable."Ms. Flynn?" the doctor called, catching Delilahâs attention.She rushed over, her eyes wide with concern. Marco stayed close behind, watching her every move."How is she?" Delilah asked, her voice strained.The doctor sighed softly before speaking. "Your aunt is in critical condition. Weâre doing

Marcoâs fists slowly relaxed, but his glare remained fixed on Frank as they followed him to the car. The drive to the Donato mansion was filled with silence, the evening shadows stretching long across the road. Delilah sat beside Marco, her mind racing, her thoughts circling back to her aunt in the hospital. She wanted to be there, not heading toward a forced confrontation with Marco's grandfather. But there was no way out.When they arrived at the mansion, Frank led them through the grand halls to the room where Elder Donato awaited them. The air felt cold and unforgiving. The grandfather, sitting in his wheelchair, gestured for them to sit on the two chairs placed side by side in front of him. Marco didnât hesitate, settling into his seat with his usual confident demeanor. Delilah followed, though her legs felt heavier with each step.Two of the grandfatherâs men stood beside them, flanking their seats, their presence a silent but clear reminder that this wasnât just a conver

A few weeks later, in the evening, Delilah brought her Aunt Mary to the apartment. Ruby and Helen were there to welcome her. Ruby, always sweet, pecked Maryâs cheeks. Mary didnât seem to appreciate it much, though, and Delilah chuckled quietly to herself.Delilah then introduced Helen, explaining, "This is Helen, my new worker at the cafĂ©. Sheâs married and has a daughter."Maryâs eyes widened slightly. "Oh wow," she said, her tone flat, but polite. Helen greeted her, and the conversation shifted naturally as they all settled in.Later, when they were alone in Maryâs room, Delilah tucked her aunt into bed, still smoothing out the covers when Mary spoke. "Iâm so happy to know youâre mingling with someone married. Unlike that Ruby."Delilah smiled playfully. "Aunt, why do you dislike Ruby so much?"Mary pursed her lips. "Itâs not that I donât like Ruby... She just seems like a bad influence on you. She smokes, she drinks, and she chases after married men."Delilah laughed softly. "

As soon as Gaga left, Delilah's phone buzzed, and a notification popped up. The credit alert read ten million dollars. Delilah's grin widened, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction.Later that night, Delilah and Ruby strutted into one of the city's most luxurious clubs, both dressed in sleek mini dresses. The black gloves they wore added a touch of mystery to their look, ensuring they blended into the crowd without drawing too much attention. The neon lights pulsed in sync with the music as they made their way through the lively crowd.A voice crackled through their earbudsâit was Helen, back at the cafĂ©, monitoring everything through a set of computers. "Mr. Bayouâs at the elite table, six oâclock, surrounded by five bodyguards," Helen reported smoothly. "He's watching the dancers a little too closely."Delilah's eyes swept across the room, and soon, she spotted himâGaga's husband, Mr. Bayou. He was sitting at the exclusive table near the dance floor, his gaze locked on the dancer

The next morning, Delilah was seated at her auntâs kitchen table, enjoying a plate of scrambled eggs and toast. Her aunt, Mary, had gone for her oncology appointment, leaving Delilah alone in the apartment. With the place to herself, she propped her phone up on the table and watched the news stream across the screen.It didnât take long for the story to appear: Chairman of Bayou Group Found Dead in a Gruesome Scene. The reporter droned on, describing the "grisly discovery" and the policeâs confusion over the brutal nature of the murder. Delilahâs lips curled into a satisfied smile. "Perfect execution," she thought, her pride swelling as she watched the details of the murder unravel on the broadcast.She was still smiling when she heard a sudden knock at the door. Her brow furrowed. Mary shouldnât be back for hours. She set her fork down, wiped her hands on a napkin, and stood to answer the door.When she opened it, her expression quickly shifted from curiosity to guarded surpr

Delilah didn't think much about it.In the evening, she leaned over the railing, the cool breeze brushing her face, she was already prepared for what was coming.Anticipation buzzed faintly in her chest as she saw Marco’s familiar silhouette approaching the mansion’s entrance.But he wasn’t alone.Lucia was with him, her tall frame radiating confidence as she walked beside Marco, holding some documents.Delilah straightened, her lips thinning as her fingers gripped the railing tighter.She descended the stairs deliberately, her heels clicking against the polished wood.The sound echoed sharply, cutting through the quiet hall like a warning.The sound caught Marco’s attention, and he looked up, his dark eyes immediately landing on her.For

Delilah narrowed her eyes, her jaw tightening. "The bigger picture? Is that what you call turning your back on someone who trusted us?"Helen finally spoke, her tone gentle but firm. "It’s not about trust. It’s about safety, Delilah. Mrs. Madison’s situation was tragic, yes. But we’re not detectives or vigilantes. We’re executors. We handle executions, not investigate deaths."Delilah let out a bitter laugh. "Is that how you justify it? By sticking to the job description?"Helen frowned but said nothing.Ruby, however, couldn’t resist. "It’s not just about that. Look, I don’t want to get caught up in this because it never ends well when emotions come into play. You know that, Delilah."Delilah took a step closer to the table, her presence commanding despite the room's elegant and tranquil decor.Her

Helen tilted her head, her doubt evident. "This is about Mrs. Madison, isn’t it?"Delilah’s jaw tightened, her eyes smoldering. "Yes."Ruby’s brows drew together, her voice hesitant. "The client? The one you postponed yesterday?"Delilah nodded, her voice a knife’s edge. "She’s dead."A thick silence enveloped the room. Ruby’s eyes widened, darting to Helen, who sat frozen, her lips parted in shock.Helen leaned forward, her voice cautious yet probing. "Dead? How?""They’re calling it a suicide," Delilah replied, her tone clipped, each word deliberate. "But there’s more to it than that."Ruby’s lips parted as realization dawned. "Wait, are you saying—"The soft creak of the door interrupted them, and all three heads turned.Mrs. Hay

Delilah’s jaw dropped, her breath catching."What?" she whispered. Her fingers trembled as she put the remote down, her eyes locked on the screen.The reporter continued, detailing the shocking turn of events. "Authorities have confirmed that Mrs. Madison died by apparent suicide, jumping from the balcony of her home earlier this evening."Delilah’s mind raced. *How? Why?*She barely had time to process the information when the bedroom door creaked open.Her heart leaped, thinking it was Marco.However, it was Mrs. Hayden who stepped inside.Delilah quickly grabbed the remote, turning off the TV.She narrowed her eyes, her voice tinged with suspicion. "Is something wrong, Mrs. Hayden?"Mrs. Hayden offered a tight s

Delilah turned to her, arching a perfectly sculpted brow."Stunt?" Her lips curled into a smirk. "I prefer to call it leveling the playing field. They were the ones who decided to play dirty. I simply ensured their actions didn’t go unnoticed."Ruby chuckled, her voice low and raspy. "I’ll give you credit for subtlety. That coffee dispenser trick? Brilliant. Disgusting, but brilliant."Delilah didn’t answer immediately.Her gaze drifted to the bustling café, her expression softening as Helen moved effortlessly behind the counter.Helen handed a latte to a customer with a bright smile, her hands firm and her presence polished."Sometimes," Delilah said, her voice barely above a whisper, "it’s not about brute force. It’s about knowing when to act—and how. This wasn’t about ruining them; it was a

Ruby and Helen exchanged uncertain glances.Meanwhile, Delilah walked to the door, casting one last look at the café across the street. Her eyes glinted with determination.If Sss... Café thought they could steal her customers, they had no idea who they were up against."Helen," she said, her voice calm but layered with purpose, "I need you to start gathering information about Sss... Café and its owner."Helen nodded, a faint flicker of unease crossing her face. "Alright," she said, her tone steady despite the undercurrent of concern.Delilah opened her mouth to add more, but Ruby’s sharp voice cut in, brimming with exasperation. "Gosh, when can we just take a break? Now we have to deal with that and execute the café owner?"Delilah froze, the words hitting her like a sharp gust of wind.Her brows k

Now that Delilah's mind was at rest after listening to Marco's response, she freshened up and headed to her café.As she arrived, a sense of calm washed over her, and she heaved a sigh of relief.With her mind clear, she decided to take a break from her usual execution services and instead focus on observing the café's operations today.This meant postponing Mrs. Madison's execution request, despite her desire for a swift completion.However, Delilah knew that she and her team needed rest, and the task could easily be rescheduled for tomorrow or another day.As she turned her attention to the café, the soft hum of the coffee grinder filled the otherwise quiet space, where Ruby and Helen worked behind the counter."Good morning," Helen greeted her with a casual wave.Delilah nodded, her li

The morning light crept into the room as Delilah stirred awake, her lashes fluttering open to an empty bed.She stretched lazily before sitting up, her hand reaching for her phone on the nightstand. The events of the previous night flashed in her mind.Delilah had been a bit restless after her brief confrontation with Marco over Lucia.Her possessiveness gnawed at her peace.And so, with a determined smirk, sheâd rummaged through her luggage and retrieved a small camera sheâd hidden for emergencies like this.Slipping into Marco's library undetected, she had carefully placed the camera where it could capture the room.Satisfied with her work, sheâd returned to bed, where Marco lay on his back, chest rising and falling in steady rhythm.Delilah had nestled her head gently against his chest, feeling his heartbeat und

Delilahâs eyes fluttered open, and she found herself staring directly into Marcoâs eyes.His gaze was steady, a hint of amusement softening his otherwise serious expression."I wasnât pretending," she said, her voice soft but steady. "I was just trying to get your attention.""Well," he said, his lips curving into a faint smile, "you have all of it now."She swallowed, suddenly nervous. "Where do I even start?""Anywhere you want to." His tone was warm, inviting, as if he had all the time in the world for her.Delilah hesitated, searching his face for any sign of defensiveness. She found none. "I met Lucia."Marco raised a brow. "Alright.""You never told me there was a Lucia," she continued, her words careful. "I walk into the room, and there she is, introducing herself as your assistant. Thatâs fineâyou need o
