[Sinclair]

After texting Enzo the dancer's name that Dustin wanted, I put my phone in the inner pocket of my jacket. I stepped out of the car into the hotel lobby. After mentioning my name to the restaurant's front desk, she appointed her colleague to escort me.

The woman led me to a room. She knocked on the door before opening it. A man inside stood up and extended his hand to me.

“Sorry, I'm late.” I shook his hand.

“You're not late,” Errol said. He let go of my hand and pointed to the chair across from him. “Have a seat. Let's order some food before we talk.”

Errol Fiander was a well-known hotel owner who was constantly expanding his business. That ambitious man had borrowed a considerable amount of money from my company. He didn't let me down by repaying the debt on time. I used half of it to buy shares in his hotel.

It was the right decision because the profit sharing was huge. Hans' business gave me more than Errol's hotel, though. I knew why he asked me to meet. He needed a loa

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   77|Sincere Compliments

    [Darcy]I cursed the accident. Therefore, I couldn't earn extra money for two nights. Sinclair refused to touch me. I knew he did so, not because I was hurt but because he was injured.Had the accident not happened, Sinclair would have screwed me. I needed every cent I could get from him each night. If my foot condition affected my performance on Saturday night, the audience wouldn't have tipped much.Gosh. I'd turned into a slut who sold my body for money. However, I had to fight for custody of my son immediately. Keane was sick, and I didn't know how long he would be in the hospital.“Darcy, here's your phone.” Rocco handed me the device when I entered the car.I accepted it. “Thank you. How did you find it?”“Secret,” he replied. “I took it from Frida White. She and Judy checked the contents of your phone in the car after following us.”“Frida?” I furrowed my brow. “What did she check my phone for? Oh. Nevermind.”So, that was why they invited me to dinner. Frida wanted to take my

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   76|Welcome Home

    My workspace wasn't cluttered. Everything was in its place. Marcel's parcel was also on the sideboard. The difference was there were a few packages beside it. I checked the hampers. There were baskets of towels and bathrobes, fruits, and books.A card was on each of the hampers. They wished me a speedy recovery. Strange. Henry said they intended to sell their shares because I had a dirty business. Why were they suddenly concerned about me?They didn't carry out their intention to sell the shares. I didn't see any transfer of names for the assets they own. What made them change their minds? Could it be someone is influencing them? I had a long list of people who wanted me to go bankrupt.“Can I help you with anything, Boss?” Neil asked.“Please check the security cameras. What did they do in my office.” I glanced at the ceiling.“Okay,” he said.After Neil left, I approached my desk. Nothing had moved. My computer didn't feel warm either. Neil returned and reported that the shareholder

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   75|Detailed Evidence

    [Sinclair]It was crazy! It was pure madness! The evidence Darcy gave me wouldn't only destroy Sean's good name but also harm his company. I didn't expect the family's hands to be full of blood. I thought they did business with their tears and sweat.I didn't suspect that Darcy and I's closeness would help me bring down my unbeatable enemy. Conrad couldn't have found such strong evidence because they covered all traces of their crimes neatly.Damn it. Darcy was my family's enemy. I framed her father to ruin her reputation. If I used that evidence, I betrayed my brother. I should have avenged his death, not allied myself with that heartless woman.“Heartless woman. I don't even recognize her anymore after seeing her earnestly breastfeeding an unknown baby.” I combed my hair with my fingers.I glanced at my computer screen. Darcy must have gotten that financial data from her husband. What kind of marriage was she in to have such a big secret in her hands? I couldn't believe Cullen gave

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   74|Having Fun

    Judy chose a restaurant in the hotel near her office. No one knew I worked in Sinclair's club, and I wanted to keep it that way. Therefore, I didn't mention my location and let her decide our meeting place.Getting a table at the restaurant wasn't difficult. Only certain people had dinner at such a fancy place. Judy had arrived first. Her bodyguard greeted me at the door and escorted me to the table.“Hi, Darcy, have a seat!” She greeted me cheerfully.I glanced at the bag on the chair beside her. “Hi. Is anyone else eating with us?” I sat on the chair across from her.“Um, yes,” Judy answered. “She went to the restroom for a while.”Her friend didn't go to the restroom. That woman must have been hiding somewhere, waiting for me to sit down. She knew I'd leave if I saw her here with Judy. There was only one person I knew would pull off that trick.“Please choose what to eat. I'll pay.” Judy handed me the menu.“Okay,” I replied.I ordered steak with barbeque sauce, grilled asparagus,

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   73|Same Goal

    [Darcy]Sinclair left the room after talking to me. I took the opportunity to sort out my feelings. Crying would only make me weak. I needed to have a clear mind to decide what to do to get back at Bridget.My son wasn't sick because something was wrong with his body. Keane needed me. He missed his mother, who hadn't been beside him for two weeks. Separating us was Bridget's most evil act. It wasn't the same as separating her from her adult son.Keane was six months old and dependent on his mother. That selfish woman was so vindictive that she called another woman to be with my son. That other woman would never be his mother. Laura didn't love Keane. She loved money.I didn't care if Sinclair used the evidence or threw it away. I could spread it when I had enough money to pay for a lawyer. I only needed to work hard and use all my time to raise the money.“You'd better not work today.” Sinclair studied my hands as we ate breakfast.“I've been absent for two days. My colleagues will be

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   72|Friend or Foe

    [Sinclair]Conrad was investigating who among my mother's friends had viciously slandered her. It would take him a long time because the incident had passed. Poppy Swan was one of the people I unfortunately suspected.I hoped I was wrong. I couldn't imagine that the woman who had treated me so well during those difficult times would hurt my mother. Not many people helped me get back on my feet after Dad passed away. Poppy bravely stood up to her husband, who disapproved of her supporting me.“Who is Joaquin Fernandez?” my mom's best friend asked. “I've never heard that name. Is he an actor?”“Are you sure you never knew him?” I repeated.Poppy smiled. “Sin, I know numerous people, but that name is unfamiliar.” She patted the back of my hand.Her demeanor didn't change. Her eyes, smile, and movements remained calm, but her palm was cold. I couldn't tell if it was the air conditioning or she was nervous. Surprisingly, I didn't feel guilty for asking that question.Poppy treated me like

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   71|The Real Mother

    [Darcy]I didn't wait for Taylor to stop the car. I unlocked and pulled the door knob. My cousin called my name, preventing me from exiting the SUV. I ignored her shouts and jumped out.Many reporters were at the entrance, but Scott helped me get past them. Unbelievable. Even though I was wearing sunglasses and a facemask, they could recognize me. The press was scrambling to ask questions. Fortunately, the security guards opened the way for me.“Boss won't like this,” Scott said.“He won't know if you don't tell,” I retorted.I approached the nurse station and asked about Keane. They refused to tell me any information about the baby. After I mentioned I was his biological mother, and Scott drew his gun, they shared his ward number.Taylor walked with me to the room. We took the elevator to the top floor. Keane was in one of the VIP rooms, the heavily secured place. I might be unable to get in, but I wouldn't give up.“You can't come in,” Joseph stood before me as I exited the elevator

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   70|Messed Up

    [Sinclair]I followed Darcy with my eyes as the medics took her to one of the empty exam rooms. Another team took me to the room beside it. They checked my condition. As expected, my legs, thighs, and back were bruised from the impact of the water surface.The helicopter was too far from the river, but we had no choice. It was better to be injured than to die in vain. Scott, Neil, and the pilot were safe. That was my only priority. The insurance would help repair or replace the helicopter. So, the company didn't lose much.I suspected two major groups did it: Joaquin and Giovanni. Joaquin wasn't a coward. I wouldn't be surprised if he dared to challenge me after the incident at his house. The family was everything to him. He would protect them at all costs.Giovanni hated me because of a misunderstanding. He didn't want to hear my explanation and believed his men's confession. Unfortunately, I had no evidence to corroborate my statement. Therefore, he chose to believe his confidant.“W

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   69|Attempt to Survive

    The turbulence inside the helicopter was getting more intense. I refrained from screaming as the four men tried to remain calm. I gripped Sinclair's hand and the seat tightly.“Can we land on the helipad?” Sinclair asked.“I'm not sure because I can't control the chopper,” the pilot said.“It's best to put on a life vest now. We're on the water,” Sinclair suggested.“Can you fly lower? We can jump when we're near water,” Neil said.“I'll try,” the pilot answered.The man was talking to someone over the communication system. Sinclair told me to get my life jacket from under my seat. I complied. I let go of his hand before taking it. Remembering the flight attendant's instructions, I put on the jacket.My heart was beating fast as the helicopter spiraled out of control. The pilot told the people on the other side about the engine and all the details. They helped him by giving instructions on how to solve the problem.My stomach felt queasy because we had just eaten lunch. My head was sp
