บททั้งหมดของ THE MAFIA TO ALPHA KING: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

THIRD PERSON POV ** Luciano is walking hand in hand with James to Keirah's room. It has been five days and Luciano has made no progress. James has stepped in and is being of help. “I have a bad feeling about this.” Luciano turns back, ready to go back. “She will never accept me, and I can't stand the thought of being rejected again. “She still thinks I am the bullet, despite our recent development. Is it too early to ask her out? “Wait ... what if she tells me she still wants to leave us? She has not smiled at me sincerely like she did on that dancefloor that night?” “There is nothing wrong with trying and failing. You just knock and if she doesn't open, stand here. “And speak through to her as we practiced. If she does not accept you, we have all the time. We will try again until she accepts you.” “This is the letter you wrote for her, right?” “Right.” Luciano flinches the letter and holds it to James. “You read it? I do not think I can read this.” “Okay, leave the letter

The awkward moment between Luciano and Keirah is a comedy show for James and his mother. That leads Keirah and Luciano to take off. Walking away from the mother and son who laughing their eyes out. Embarrassed, Luciano walks out first, and Keirah follows in pursuit. “These two are crazy...” Keirah speaks as she looks back at them to see them still laughing. “ I am so sorry. It was insensitive of me. You could have died.” “Well, don't let it worry you. I already accepted your apology. You were mean to me, but it was also a good reminder that I can also die soon. “ I saw my past life flash before my eyes at that moment in the river. It was a revelation of what I do not want to be anymore. I now know what I want. I want you, Keirah. “Regrets that break me that are haunting me in my sleep all came at once. I do not want to regret missing my chance with you too. “Every mistake made me fail to be better. Every promise I broke as I let down my late mother, James, and Zia. “I will make

“You would not have caught me, and I would be safe at home. Keep those doors closed. I PROMISE YOU I WILL ESCAPE AGAIN.” She shouts, still sobbing. I am petrified by the turn of events and angry at her lack of trust in me. “I am doing all this for you. I will never hand the codes to him. I need him off your back for him to keep his focus on me. “You should trust my words more. Just give me the codes and I need to move. How long do you want me to repeat myself to make you believe that I did not kidnap you? And I do not work for my uncle. “He has your sister, and I am trying to save her.” I find myself agitated and angry, out of control, and shouting at her. “My sister!? Do you honestly think you can trick me again? Forget it.” “Stop thinking bad of me. Things out there are getting out of hand. We need those codes. You are getting under my skin. All I am doing is trying to hold it together. “What is the code, Keirah? What is the number you locked those biochips with? Tell me and t

The door opens with a bang. Anger radiates from every step Luciano takes. Luciano stares across at Keirah. His eyes are red and scary. He looks murderous in every way. “Are you still in love with Erede?!” He shouts at her, and she looks down, tucking her hair back as Luciano's expression turns deadly. “Please clarify this for me Keirah. Are you still in love with him when you know he is a married man?” She bites her lower lips, nods, and turns to him before raising her eyes stubbornly again. “Why is it bad for me to love him? I loved him first before her.” His gaze turns more deadly as he shouts at her. “EREDE IS A MARRIED MAN. HE MARRIED YOUR SISTER. HE IS YOUR BROTHER-IN-LAW!” “I loved him first before she did. He was with me longer. He was my first love.” “Then what?” Keirah looks him in the eyes and drops her gaze after she sees his disappointment in her. “Anita is your only sister. And she needs your help now. Is he the reason you are not giving the codes to save her?”Her

“I have nothing to offer. I came here in need of your help,” Luciano tried to keep his real intentions hidden. “I am the last person on earth you should ask for help. You betrayed me. All favors for you ended when you took away what was mine.” “I am here asking for her life, Zio. You owe me that much after what you did to me and your brother.” “Stop it! It is enough! You have been hiding Keirah from me for two weeks now. That is more than enough courtesy on my part.” “She is an innocent person. A person not from our world. So, innocent. She does not deserve this.” “Stop beating around the bush. You would not be here if you did not have the codes. Give me the codes, then maybe I will think about letting you go.” “I swear I do not have the codes. And Keirah does not have the codes either. I tried to squeeze them out of her in all the ways possible, but she does not have them.” “You think of me, stupid? That I do not know what I am doing. That I would spend my resources and time on
