Lahat ng Kabanata ng Seducing The Mafia King: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Laura Horowitz—no, that wasn’t right—Laura Augustus glanced around the luxurious sitting room at the many different faces of the world she had married into. Not willingly. No, her father had come home one day, sat her down, and told her that he had big plans for her. Whenever he had big plans for her, she knew they were lies. The truth was, he had big plans for himself. Not that she hated her father. Leon Horowitz was a scary man. Abandoned as a child, he grew up on the streets and fought his way out, earning himself a reputation and wealth that rivaled the mafia family she was currently sipping drinks with.No champagne, not for her. A bad experience on her eighteenth birthday put an end to her alcohol-drinking days. Now, she kept to water or juice. Nothing alcoholic.Not that she had a drink of her own. That would require the waiter to come close to her, and no one ever did that.Her husband, Johannes Augustus, stood near a bunch of men, talking, probably business, or perhaps they w

Saya approached him and slapped him on the shoulder. “You keep on believing that, buddy. I know the truth. I’ve known you for years, and you want to slit my throat. It’s fine, but maybe you need to know what it is you want first, before you ask people to do this.”“Laura is a slut.”“I don’t think she is. If so, then I’m not the kind of man she goes for. We all know the ladies drop their panties for me.”Johannes couldn’t help but look at Saya’s neck and think how good it would look oozing with blood.“You know that murderous rage you’re feeling right now? That’s not what a guy who wants to have other men sleep with his wife should feel like.” Saya winked at him and left to rejoin the party.Running a hand down his face, he attempted to clear his mind. Tonight was not going well.He was running on only a couple of hours of sleep, and to be frank, he was exhausted. For the last three days, he’d been chasing a goddamn rat, one who wanted to trade their secrets for money and a safe life.

She should just make it to English. Snooping, or spying, was not for her.Laura was about to make a break for it when fingers wrapped around her wrist, stopping her. She spun toward the person who’d grabbed her and saw Johannes was there. How had he moved from across the grounds toward her so fast?“What are you doing?” Johannes asked.She tugged at her wrist. “Let me go.” She didn’t want to cause a scene. Not many people were around, but there were a few. She hated bringing attention to herself.“Why are you here?” Johannes asked. “Who sent you?” Why was he accusing her?“I’m going to class,” she said. “Please, I don’t want to be late.”“Sir, I suggest you let her go.”This was Bill. This was going to be very bad.She looked from Johannes to Bill, then back again.“Why are you here?” Johannes asked.“I have it on strict orders to keep an eye on her, to protect her, while she goes to school,” Bill said.“She is my wife. She is coming with me.” Bill stepped in front of Johannes, stoppi

Laura, this is Marcell Guerra and Cash Vitale.”She held her hand up in greeting. They were his other two friends. She had seen them at the wedding, but they hadn’t been introduced.They left the strip club out the back entrance, where a car was already waiting for them. Saya and Marcell took the front seat while she sat in the middle between Johannes and Cash.She stayed tense. No one spoke on the journey, and she wanted to be near a window just so she could look out. To see the city passing her by, and not to be afraid of anything.She hated feeling fear. The spiraling twist in her gut was not a welcoming feeling. She wanted it to stop.“Are you okay?” Saya asked, filling the silence.“I’m fine. Thank you.”“You must be scared,” Marcell said.She shrugged and then leaned her head back, closing her eyes and enjoying the hum of the car.“Is she asleep?” Cash asked beside her.“No,” she said. “I won’t be able to sleep tonight.”She hadn’t been able to sleep the night of the break-in ei

She cried out and scrambled to get her towel, only to have Johannes reach for it as well. Laura wasn’t entirely sure what happened, but they somehow managed to bump heads, and she ended up on the floor, not covered, and Johannes stared at her.Panic filled her, and she scrambled for the towel and her diary. Johannes seemed to still as she got both and pulled away from him.Within seconds, it became a tug of war as Johannes grabbed the diary, and she had no choice but to turn her back and immediately wrap the towel around her.Johannes had never seen her naked.No man had seen her naked.Her heart raced.“Please give me back my diary,” she said, keeping her back to him.Her face was so hot. She had never been so embarrassed in her life.“No.” He stepped past her. She tried to grab his shirt, but she had no choice but to keep one hand on her chest.“Please.”Johannes turned at the door. “You’re my wife, and a Augustus never begs. Don’t do it.”He slammed the bathroom door, and Laura gri
