The Mafia's Forbidden Obsession 33. Elena? Who are you?
Chapter 33 Adrian's POVThe room was quiet for a while. Her face was stern. There was no sign of a smile or a joke. The word hung in the air between us."Marry you?" I stared at Elena. Her face was calm. Like she hadn't said something terrible."Did the fire affect you? Because it seems you are insane," I said."No. I'm not." She didn't seem to care. "I'm just smart and if you are too, you'd see what I mean." She didn't flinch."You need a wife to fix your image. A wife the public can rally behind." Her hands went to her face now. "Someone who looks good on camera and knows how to keep secrets."A small snicker came from the corner of the room, when she pouted. I turned and it was Marcus. He turned away."Sorry about that, Boss. Ignore me." I had almost laughed too. I returned my eyes to Elena. I was seriously trying to piece everything she had said back together. It wasn't adding up. How did we get here? How?I stared keenly at her now."And that's you? The one for the camera?""
The Mafia's Forbidden Obsession 32. Would you marry me? Adrian Moretti?
Chapter 32 Adrian's POVMy hands raised to stop Marcus."I'm fine." But the words came out slowly. I wasn't fine. Only two people knew about my health: my doctor and Marcus. My eyes slowly rose to him. He flashed me a smile and dragged me to the chair behind my desk. My body went where he pushed it, but my mind was elsewhere."Boss, breathe. Boss...""Don't tell me to breathe!" My fist slammed against the desk. The phone rattled. A glass tipped over and shattered on the floor.I stood up. Then I sat down. Then I stood up again and began pacing the room."Marcus, who do you think is responsible for this news leak? Six months? The sponsors are panicking now."He shrugged. "I believe it's Elliot, Boss."I stopped in my tracks. Elliot, yes. He said so himself."Call the lawyers. All of them. Every single one on retainer. I want them in this office in thirty minutes.""Boss, it's five in the evening...""I don't give a damn what time it is!" I continued pacing back and forth. My shoes squ
The Mafia's Forbidden Obsession 31. Adrian Moretti's world is crumpled.
Chapter 31Adrian's POVLight pierced my eyes from the ceiling first… too bright. Before, I felt the familiar warmth of my bed. My room.My eyes opened slowly. The ceiling fan turned in lazy circles above me. Marcus sat in the chair beside the bed, his elbows on his knees, his face was drawn tight. He looked like he hadn't slept.I tried to sit up. My chest pulled tightly, reminding me of what had happened last night."Boss." Marcus stood fast. His voice cracked just a little. "You're awake."Before I could say anything, he stepped forward and pulled me into a rough hug. His arms were solid, careful not to press me too hard.I let it happen for a second. He wasn't the hugging type. I didn't know what came upon him. "You scared me there. For a moment, I thought I was going to lose you." A small laugh escaped his lips. But he wasn't pulling away. He remained glued to me.I patted his back once. "I'm not dead yet."He pulled back, clearing his throat. Then his face changed. The relief
The Mafia's Forbidden Obsession 30. Saving her twin sister.
Chapter 30 Adrian's PovThe penthouse still smelled of Marisa after she left. Her scent clung to the sheets, but all I could taste was the wrongness of it.What had I done?Eva's face wouldn't leave me alone… her laughter and everything. I sat on the edge of the bed, shirt half-buttoned, staring at the city lights through the window.Calling it off with Marisa had seemed simple last night. I planned to have just one conversation. I believed she would understand and move on. But the words she had dropped about her heart episodes, about Elliot's threats, twisted in my gut.I wasn't the man who left a woman to the wolves. Especially not when those wolves wore my family's name.My phone buzzed. It was Marcus."Boss, we got the shooter from last night. Warehouse on the east side. He's not talking yet, but my boys are... persuasive.""Good. Keep him breathing until I get there. I want names. Who sent him. Everything. Be detailed." I ended the call and stood.The movement sent a familiar sh
The Mafia's Forbidden Obsession 29. Valentina is Dead.
Chapter 29Adrian's PovThere was another gunshot. The sound cracked through the night air. A bullet whizzed past my head, too close.I dropped. My body hit the ground before my brain caught up. Another bullet whizzed past where my head had been and embedded into the brick wall beside me. Chips of stone sprayed my cheek.There was another shot. I rolled and scrambled behind a parked car. My heart slammed against my ribs.I knew these bullets weren't to scare me off, but to end my life.The black spots covering my vision now weren't from my condition this time. It was from fear. I felt for my gun.Shit.I had left my suit in the car. I peeked through the gap between the tires. The rooftop across the street. There was a figure in dark clothes. A rifle scope glinting in the moonlight.Then the fourth shot followed. The car window shattered. Glass rained over me.I crawled with my elbows and knees. The alley was ten feet away. What was I thinking? I should have armed myself.I pushed off

Chapter 28Adrian's PovThe unknown number kept sending images of Eva unaware.In 48 hours, Marcus was finally able to get information about it."The number's a burner. It's untraceable. But the photo's metadata gave us a location." He had said to me.My chest thumped immediately. The night after the incident with Eva and Victor… After I shot two men dead… I saw the look of fear on her face and had promised myself not to use the gun again. But not now. I would handle this matter myself."Where, Marcus? Share the location." I threw my suit over my shoulder, ready to step out."It's an abandoned warehouse, sir. In one of Victor's districts. Same ping we got from Eva's phone." I was already moving now.—·—·—The Bentley cut through the streets. Marcus drove. I sat in the back, the photo of Eva still open on my phone."Boss." Marcus's voice was tight. "There's something you should know before we get there.""Tell me.""The location. It's not just a warehouse. I searched it up. It's a fron

Chapter 9 Eva’s Pov A deep, low growl erupted behind me, snapping my head around so fast I stumbled when I saw what it was. A massive black dog had its eyes locked on me. “Don’t run,” Adrian whispered. But that information was too late as the dog lunged toward me. “Oh my God!” I screame

Chapter 16Eva's Pov I swung again. But, someone's leg hooked my ankle, tilting me forward and the tar caught my ribs, bruising me. I gasped, and couldn't breathe. Get up. Get the fuck up. I won't let her control my life anymore. My fingers searched blindly and hit plastic. My earphones, it wasn'
The Mafia's Forbidden Obsession Under my protection
Chapter 7 Adrian’s Pov The girl in Victor Salieri’s arms looked like Eva—and if I was right, she was about to get herself killed. But Eva wouldn’t be in a place like this, dressed like that. No. I turned away. It wasn’t her. My eyes returned to Valentina as she placed a kiss on my lips.
