Chapter 20: The Light in The Dark
"Life isn't just about darkness or light, rather it's about finding light within the darkness."

“Get him to the emergency room.” Lucas barged into the hospital with Ian and quickly asked for the staff to help him.
Before he was brought inside the room, on the brink of his consciousness, he held Lucas’ hand and asked for a favor.
“Victoria, you have to call her. I want her to be by my side when I am awake. Do you understand?” He asked.
Lucas didn’t know why he would ask for Victoria but he nodded anyway and then Ian was brought out of sight.
Lucas didn’t know what he was supposed to do in that situation so he only did as Ian requested.
He picked up Ian’s phone that was left in his hand and searched his contact until he found Victoria’s name in there.
He dialed her number and not long after, she picked up the phone. Victoria

The Mafia Widow Chapter 21: The Loyalty
"I learned the real meaning of love. Love is absolute loyalty. People fade, looks fade but loyalty never fades."-Sylvester Stallone-***Darius was anxiously waiting for Victoria in the living room. She was late and it bothered him. She was supposed to arrive home around two hours ago but even after dinner was ready, she still wasn’t there and there was no news of her.He couldn’t contain himself any longer and decided to pick up his phone to call Jasper. His job was to drive her to and from work that day, he should know something about it.“Jasper, do you know where Victoria is right now, she hasn’t been back and I’m worried for her.” He admitted. Jasper was silent for a few seconds before he answered.“Right now she’s at the hospital.” He confessed.“What? What’s wrong with her? Is she injured?” He panic and Jasper had to quickly calme
The Mafia Widow Chapter 22: The Mafia's Lair
"A villain always preferred luring the heroine to his lair."-Susan Elizabeth Phillips-***“You seem distracted.” Lucas said as he sat in the hospital’s room seat.“What do you mean by that? I am perfectly fine. I got shot on my shoulder, not my head.” He replied with a hint of sarcasm.“That’s not what I mean. I saw the way you looked at Victoria when she came over. You definitely wasn’t acting around. You were truly smitten with her.”“I don’t know what you are talking about. If I’m going to seduce her, isn’t it better to make it appear as realistic as possible. If you thought I looked genuine it means my acting is believable, because there is no way I am smitten with that woman.” Lucas sighed.This man could deny it all he wanted but he saw something sparked in his eyes the moment Victoria stepped inside the room. It was completely out of character for him and Lucas was getting really worried about it.“Just remember the reason why you are around her in the first place. If you fal
The Mafia Widow Chapter 23: The Glimpse
"We've all got both light and dark inside of us. What matters is the part we choose to act on, that's who we really are."-Sirius Black-***Victoria felt incredibly awkward as she was seated across Ian in his own home. They were at his dining room and she thought the gathering would mean everyone would stand up and eat or each would have their own seats, but no.It was an exception with her because she was the only one seated and she also noticed there was absolutely no other women even inside the house.“If this is a gathering, how come there are no women around?” She asked.“That’s because I only work with men. Women are troublesome to work with.” Victoria was slightly offended by his rather misogynistic remark.“I am a woman and you are working with me.” She argued.“That’s because you are special. You are more capable. With other women, it’s usually a different story.” He replied back.For Ian, it was also troublesome how women who dealt with him in the past always ended up posse
The Mafia Widow Chapter 24: The Exchange
"One thorn of experience is worth a whole wilderness of warning."-James Russell Lowell-***“I never thought this day would come. The day when I finally meet you face to face after the humiliation you did to my family on the day you broke off your engagement with my daughter.” The man spoke with hatred and disappointment in his eyes.“And I never thought you would accept an invitation to meet with me. For that, I would like to thank you.” Ian stated. It was a miracle that Charles Dawn was willing to meet on the neutral ground.Of course, only when he was accompanied by ten bodyguards on his side, all private military trained. The man would never slack off when it came to his own safety. Ian himself also brought ten of his men so it would be an equal number.“Just tell me what our business here is so I can get back home sooner.” Charles spoke, slowly losing his patience. He poured
The Mafia Widow Chapter 25: The Secret
"Secrets die but secrecy grows."-Paul Christopher Johnson-***“How did you meet him?” He asked.“I met him through Wilfred. Darius has been working in the household before I was there. He is a good man and I don’t want you to blame him for what he did. He was just trying to protect me.” She answered.“I know, but I don’t like him. Something about him is off.”“What do you mean by that?”“Listen, Victoria. I have known all sorts of people in my life. Even bad people. Murderers, thieves, hitmen, assassin and they have a similar air and presence around them that differentiate them from the rest of the population. When I saw your butler, when he defended you, there was something about him that reminds me of these bad people.”“That’s not possible, Darius is one of the best man I have ever known. He is gentle and sweet mos
The Mafia Widow Chapter 26: The Revelation
"Maybe I'm scared because you mean more to me than any other person. You are everything I think about. Everything I need. Everything I want."-Unknown-***“We already did a background search on the guy you mentioned before, but there was nothing on him. We only knew that he came from an Iranian immigrant parents and was raised in an orphanage until Wilfred took him in but after that, nothing. We couldn’t even find where this man’s academic record.” Lucas reported.“That’s impossible, are you sure about that?” He asked.“Yes, we even tried to find additional information on the internet but this man doesn’t have any digital trace. No email, no social media, nothing. The only thing he has is a phone number but there was only one person on his contact, Victoria. This man is like a ghost.” He stated. It was the moment that all his suspicions were confirmed.There is no way a man cautious enough to hide his identity from the rest of the world except for his childhood background could be a
The Mafia Widow Chapter 27: The First Love
"Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them and they bless you, the giver."-Barbara de Angelis-***A few years ago, after Wilfred was married to Victoria, Darius found himself in a rather awkward position. He was not used to having a woman around the house, as most of Darius’ employees were men except for a few maids that came for a few hours and left.Wilfred had warned him that he could never let Victoria find out the truth about what they did.“She’s a rather innocent woman. Though I am sure she can handle the truth, I would rather let her experience only the light side of this household. If one day I’m gone, things will be a little rough for her, so let her innocence remains for as long as possible.” He told him.During the first year of her marriage with Wilfred, Victoria was so quiet and didn’t speak much around
The Mafia Widow Chapter 28: The Catch
"There's nothing more precious in this world than the feeling of being wanted."-Diana Dors-***“She hasn’t replied to any of my messages or answer my calls. I thought I’ve given her a little warning on my last trip to her office. I thought our relationship were getting better. What else does she want!?” He asked out of frustration.“That’s it, I can’t live like this anymore. I need to visit her in person and make it clear to her that she isn’t going to ignore me like this. I won’t accept it.” That day, he went to visit her house. When it was opened, instead of her, Ian saw Darius.“What are you doing here?” Darius asked with a displeased expression.“I’m meeting with Victoria, back off.” He growled.“I won’t let you do that. You are not going to meet Victoria.” Darius spoke again.“Listen
