The Mafia Boss Is After My Life Chapter twenty six
The rest of the visit was a careful dance of Jems trying to act normal while simultaneously wanting to murder Ethan. Mira kept shooting suspicious glances between Jems and Ethan, clearly sensing something was off but unable to pinpoint exactly what. Gabriel remained oblivious, chatting easily about school and the upcoming test. Lilian continued to admire Ethan from afar, much to Mira's annoyance.When visiting hours were finally over and her friends reluctantly left, promising to visit again tomorrow before her discharge, Jems let out a long, exhausted sigh."You're an asshole," she said to Ethan."I know," he replied, not looking up from his tablet. "But I'm an asshole who's going to help you pass your test.""I hate you.""No, you don’t."And the worst part? He was right.Back at Don Emilio's MansionThe mansion was a sprawling estate that looked more like a fortress than a home, with high walls, armed guards at every entrance, and security cameras covering every angle. Inside, the

The fluorescent hospital lights had dimmed to their evening setting, casting a softer glow across Jems's room. She stirred, her eyelids fluttering open slowly as consciousness returned. The first thing she registered was the familiar antiseptic smell, then the dull ache in her bandaged arm, and finally, the warmth of hands holding hers on both sides."My princess, how are you feeling now?" Richard's voice was gentle as he cupped her face, his thumb brushing across her cheek with the kind of tenderness that made her chest tighten.Jems blinked a few more times, bringing her father's worried face into focus. On her other side, Emily leaned forward, her expression a mirror of Richard's concern. Nana sat in the corner chair, knitting something that looked like a baby blanket."I'm fine, Dad," Jems said, her voice still thick with sleep. "Getting better, I think.""The day after tomorrow you'll be discharged," Emily said, squeezing Jems's hand. "How do you feel about that?"Jems's face lit

Emily stirred on the hospital bed, her eyes fluttering open slowly. The afternoon light filtered through the blinds, casting soft shadows across her face. She blinked a few times, disoriented, before her gaze landed on Jems sitting up in her bed, a half-eaten slice of cake on the tray in front of her."Mum," Jems said softly, her voice filled with relief. "You're awake."Ethan was already on his feet, moving toward Emily with surprising gentleness. He extended his hand to help her sit up, supporting her elbow as she shifted her weight."Thank you, Ethan," Emily said, her voice still thick with sleep. She rubbed her eyes and glanced at her watch. "Oh my goodness, I slept for almost two hours.""Did you sleep well?" Jems asked, genuine concern etched on her face.Emily nodded, a small smile playing on her lips. "I did. I actually feel a lot better. I didn't realize how exhausted I was until I closed my eyes.""See? That's exactly what I've been telling you," Jems said, her tone a mix of

Ethan let out a laugh, the sound low and vibrating in the quiet room. He didn’t pull away; instead, he set the food tray aside and reached for the flask.“I’m talking about making your Milo,” he said with a chuckle. “How does that make me a pervert?” he asked, but Jems was staring at him.He knew how to laugh… I can’t believe Ethan Reynolds knows how to laugh. This is such a rare sight. And it was… beautiful… very beautiful, Jems thought to herself.“What’s wrong?” Ethan asked, pulling her out of her thoughts as he dropped the flask.“Huh??.. umm.. cake. I would love to have my Milo with a cake,” Jems said.“Oooh okay, hang on,” he said, bringing out his phone. “I need one piece of ten different flavors of cake delivered, and be fast. I’ll send you the address,” he said as he hung up.“Why don’t you finish the chicken and dumplings your mum took so much time to make? Don’t you think she would get upset when she wakes up and finds out that you didn’t eat any of it? And I won’t feed you

Derick's POVI don't think I'd be able to forgive myself for not protecting Jems... never. I promised her I'd never let them hurt her. I promised I was going to protect her, but I failed... again. Why? Believing what that bitch said was a big mistake I should have never made. How could I have done such a thing?The doctor came out saying we could see her because she was now conscious. They all ran in to see her, but I couldn't. I just couldn't.I stood by the door, my back pressed against the cold wall, my hands clenched into fists at my sides. The guilt was eating me alive from the inside out. I could hear Emily's voice through the door, soft and trembling as she spoke to Jems. I could hear Stella's high-pitched reassurances and Nana's whispered prayers.But I couldn't move."Derick," Nana's voice came from behind me. I didn't turn around. "You need to go in there. That child is asking about you.""She doesn't need to see me," I said, my voice hoarse. "I'm the reason she's lying in t

Stella, Richard’s secretary, made her way through the hallway. She was wearing black suit pants and a shirt, with a blue shirt inside. Her blonde hair fell in waves behind her back, and she wore a full face of makeup finished with a glossy red lipstick. In her arms, she cradled a massive bouquet of roses.“Emily!” she called out, hurrying over. She set the flowers on a nearby bench and pulled Emily into a tight embrace. “How have you been?” she asked, pulling back to cup Emily’s face in her hands.Stella and Emily had been friends since high school. They weren't exactly "best friends," but more like the kind of acquaintances who had known each other since kindergarten, spoke occasionally, but remained in each other's orbits. Stella was two years older than Emily; while Emily was 41, Stella was 43 and still single, the definition of a "sexy, career-driven woman." They had graduated from the same university, and shortly after, Stella had asked Emily for a position at her company. That w
