All Chapters of Affair With The Mafia: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Cheryl could see the surprise on Beatrice's face as she watched Mateo stepping out of Alejandro's helicopter that had just landed in the farmhouse yard. Alfonso hurriedly made his way out, that old man looking taken aback by the commotion of the helicopter's rotor blades."I'm leaving, Grandpa. Thank you for allowing me to stay here," Cheryl offered a brief smile as she approached Alfonso."Leaving?" Alfonso's eyes widened. "You're going back to Manhattan?"Cheryl nodded slowly. She briefly glanced at Beatrice, who let out a short snort, then walked away from her—disappearing behind the tightly closed door of the house."Why did you come home suddenly, Dear? I thought you were going to stay here for a few more days."Cheryl bit her lower lip, trying to hold back her tears as she remembered that she had spent this past week in vain."I'm getting married. I hope you can come to Manhattan for my wedding," she murmured."You have invited me before, and I told you I'll be praying for you,"

Cheryl stared out of the window of her private jet at the dark clouds. Her hand moved slowly to wipe her face. She was alone, sitting while enjoying a glass of freshly served orange juice while Mateo was busy with his work.Just like the sky outside the plane, her heart also felt dark.She had seen the darkness in Rafael's life, but instead of being afraid, she was drawn to it. She was trying hard to find another dark secret about him that had been hidden from her.Rafael and his concealed secrets made her even more intrigued to delve into it. The leader of ElWagner, the ElWagner clan, who can kill people with a single bullet, secret attacks, and the secret people who hid weapons beneath their bodies."Sorry to disturb you, Miss. But you should fasten your seatbelt because we'll be landing shortly," a flight attendant came to warn her."I can handle it myself," She declined when the flight attendant reached out to assist her."Very well, if you need anything, you can call me."She nod

The days passed quickly for Cheryl. She wasn't sure when she went from daytime to nighttime, but she could count the days left before the wedding.Three days...She bit her lip, feeling tense every time she remembered that time was moving as fast as a breeze on her face while riding a horse at night."Hey, Cheryl!" Carlos waved his hand in front of her face."Yes? What's up?" She blinked in confusion, looking at him with a little bit of surprise."They asked about the flowers and table decorations," He pointed to two men in charge of decorating their wedding reception hall. "Are they according to your wishes?"She turned her head, looking at the main table that would be occupied by the bride and groom and both families during the reception. Typically, in the middle of the event, there would be speeches from family and close friends."Beautiful," She commented briefly."Is there anything missing, Miss? We can change the design if you prefer different flowers. Most brides choose red ros

Rafael reached for a glass of wine provided by the bartender. Once again, he spent his evening drinking away his sorrows. It didn't matter. He didn't mind spending the night getting drunk until morning. At least it kept him from flying to Manhattan and kidnapping Cheryl, who was getting married the next morning.Cheryl, Cheryl Jaqueline Alejandro. His little angel. She would marry Carlos tomorrow, and now he could do nothing but sit here like a madman in a Las Vegas bar.From the beginning, he should have been aware of his position. He was a Wagner, a man with a dark future who didn't deserve to be with Cheryl. Cheryl Jaqueline Alejandro was the most beautiful woman he had ever met—besides his mother, of course. She deserved a good life, far from danger. But he had made a mistake. Allowing Cheryl into his life after restraining himself for years was a disaster he couldn't easily handle. Rafael fell back into his obsession—with a green-eyed girl who always managed to turn his world ups

"I don't know whether to be angry or grateful for your behavior, my clever son," a voice that sounded quite familiar to Cheryl interrupted as Rafael was taking some selfies on her phone to use as her phone wallpaper—replacing Carlos' photo.Cheryl still had a smile on her face after seeing Rafael's silly poses when she turned and found Catalina approaching them. "But of course, I can't be angry after seeing this clever son of mine bringing a beautiful green-eyed daughter-in-law for me," she said, her face softening, gazing at Cheryl with eyes full of happiness.Cheryl had met and spoken with Catalina a few weeks ago, but this meeting seemed different. Therefore, she immediately moved closer to Rafael and felt a bit restless, fearing she might receive a bad judgment in her in-laws' eyes."Mom? When did you arrive?" Rafael furrowed his brow, looking at the circular watch on his wrist. "So fast," he muttered quietly."Well, I flew straight here as soon as Jackson sent me a photo of you k
