Mark’s face turned pale. He could see the flash of anger in his boss's eyes. "It’s not like that, Sir. I just—"

“Sorry, Regis. I thought he could help me finish things faster, and I needed a strong man to knead the dough,” Amora explained, unaware that Regis was feeling jealous of Mark.

“So, you needed a man’s strength?” Regis murmured, which Amora answered with a small nod.

Without saying much, Regis handed Amora the box of pastries and the bouquet he was carrying.

“I-is this for me?” Amora asked in confusion.

Regis didn’t answer. Instead, he turned to Mark. "Take off your apron."

Mark hurriedly removed his apron and handed it to Regis.

Amora, puzzled, asked, “What are you doing, Regis?”

“Proving that I’m also a man, of course. You can squeeze all the strength you need out of me,” Regis replied as he put on the apron after removing his jacket.

Amora was dumbfounded. "B-but, Regis... I—"

Before she could finish, hearty laughter echoed throughout the room. Xavier was the source of the

    “Mr. Volker, I don't think you can blame Regis for this,” Xavier cut in, defending his friend.Alejandro smirked. “You have no right to speak here, Young Man,” he snapped.But Xavier didn’t care about the warning from the mansion’s owner. “I’m in charge of that kid’s safety. That means I have both authority and responsibility. Besides, weren’t you the one who locked Regis up earlier? You have no right to accuse him like that.”Xavier’s words hit Rayden like a jolt. The boy immediately turned to his grandfather with narrowed eyes. “Is that true, Grandpa? Did you lock up my dad?”Alejandro gave a faint smile. “He’s not completely wrong,” he admitted. He didn’t want to lie to his grandson.Rayden’s expression changed instantly. He slid down from the old man’s lap and stared up at him. “Why would you do that? Did you lock up Mom, too?” he asked sharply.Alejandro hesitated. For a moment, he didn’t know if he should admit it, but in the end, he chose to be honest. “You could say that.”Ray

    “Don’t you want to tell Grandpa about your journey? How you ended up here, Ray?” Alejandro asked, trying to gently interrogate his grandson.He’d been fascinated by the boy’s bravery all evening. What Rayden had done was far from ordinary, especially for someone his age. Coming out in the middle of the night with nothing but a patrol officer, all to find his mother? That was remarkable.To Alejandro, it was a clear sign of the fearless spirit that ran deep in both the Volker and Lorenzo bloodlines. The only thing he regretted was Rayden’s fragile body.‘If only this boy were in perfect health,’ Alejandro thought, ‘he could grow up to be one of the most feared leaders in the world.’“Why don’t you tell me how you became my grandpa instead?” Rayden shot back, snapping the old man out of his thoughts.Alejandro chuckled. “You really want to know?”“Of course,” Rayden answered with enthusiasm.Alejandro lifted the boy and sat him on his lap. Then, he began explaining how he was connected

    “Come here, Ray. Grandpa wants to get a better look at you.”Alejandro patted the empty spot on the couch beside him, inviting the boy to sit.But Rayden only took a few small steps forward and stopped at a distance where the old man could still see him clearly. He was still cautious, unsure whether he could believe what the man had said.Alejandro understood Rayden’s reaction. After all, they were practically strangers meeting for the first time. It made sense that the boy was hesitant. Even so, Alejandro was already grateful just to be speaking with his grandson up close like this.“You’re a handsome and brave boy, Ray,” Alejandro said, offering a warm smile.Rayden didn’t say a word. His hands stayed tucked into the pockets of his shorts as he stared directly at the older man.“But Grandpa’s really curious … how did you get to a place like this?” Alejandro asked, gently trying to dig a little deeper.“I have has my own way, Grandpa,” Rayden answered vaguely, clearly not wanting to

    “Go on in. The Boss is waiting for you inside,” said the guard, leading Rayden to the grand main doors of the Volker estate.Rayden tilted his head up to look at the fierce-faced man, then replied, “Thanks, Uncle Bear.”The guard’s brow immediately furrowed, and Rayden flinched. Without waiting for a response, the boy quickly slipped into the room.The man, one of Alejandro Volker’s subordinates—could only smirk at the kid’s reaction before turning around and heading back to his post.Rayden let out a quiet sigh of relief once the bear-like man was no longer in sight. He took a moment to scan his surroundings.“It’s even more amazing inside,” he murmured in awe, taking in the elegant, luxurious interior.Earlier, a guard had driven him up to the estate in a buggy car. He had already been impressed by the perfectly manicured grounds outside, but the European-style mansion was something else entirely on the inside.Even though everything felt completely unfamiliar, Rayden had gathered t

    “Let me go!” Rayden screamed hysterically.The boy kept struggling, but his feet couldn’t touch the ground, and his fists were useless against the officer holding him.All Rayden could do was scream!“Hey, Kid! Quit yelling! Do you want us to get caught sneaking into a restricted area?” The officer snapped in frustration.“Help! Somebody help me!”Rayden didn’t care. He kept screaming, hoping to catch the attention of the guards at the grand mansion in front of them. They were still a good distance from the gate, but he believed his voice would carry.And … it worked!One of the guards at the gate turned his flashlight toward them. The beam was so bright that both Rayden and the officer instinctively shielded their eyes with their hands.“Damn it, Kid! Now we’re in trouble. Don’t you get it? These people are dangerous,” The officer hissed at him.Rayden's face paled. But he wasn’t afraid of the mansion guards. What scared him more was what might’ve happened to his mother.“Who’s there

  • The Mafia's Dangerous Desire   Chapter 435

    In the dead of night, on a quiet paved road lined with towering, lush trees, a traffic patrol car cruised at a steady pace through a luxurious residential area. The elegant homes sparkled under dazzling lights, showcasing their grandeur.The patrol car continued down the road, veering away from the posh neighborhood and onto a steeper path. It was still paved, but now surrounded only by trees and dim lighting, causing the officer behind the wheel to start feeling uneasy.“Kid, are you sure this is where you’re headed?” The officer asked the small figure sitting beside him.The handsome young boy turned and nodded. “Yes, Sir. Just follow the coordinates,” he said, pointing to a mini tablet in his hands.The middle-aged officer sighed, his eyes scanning the surroundings. There were no more houses in sight.Instead, the atmosphere grew tense as they entered deeper into the wooded area. The sounds of nocturnal creatures echoed through the dense trees.If it weren’t for the boy tugging at
