All Chapters of The Mafia Lord's Betrothed : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Chapter Twenty-Two•KIANA•"You are not going to tell him, right?"I asked when I slipped into Emma’s sitting room and found Cassie on the phone. She paused, gave me a look, then raised one brow like I just told her I wanted to grow wings.I knew that this was going to be a difficult task but still, I had to do it. If Aiden finds out, he was going to make sure I got punished. "You want to leave the Villa without security? While Damon’s out there playing freaky puppet master with every lowlife in the city?" She asked and her words sent shivers down my spine. "I just want to see my dad. Aria collapsed and he is all alone. I can't just stay indoors like a prisoner. This is my family.”She didn’t respond at first and she just ended her call and sighed."You are not supposed to leave without telling Aiden. That is the rule and you know that he doesn't joke with rules.""Then don’t tell him. Please,” I pleaded with her and Cassie looked me over like she was measuring how much trouble I co

Chapter Twenty-Four•KIANA•"He wasn’t always like this, you know."Liam’s voice broke the silence as we both stared at the beautiful clean lake behind the Villa. I had no idea why he suddenly said all that as if he knew what I was thinking. The sun was starting to set, casting an orange shimmer across the water. I hugged my knees to my chest and looked at him."Aiden?" He asked and Liam nodded with his hands stuffed deep into his jacket pockets."He used to laugh more and talk more. He used to be really jovial and cool. He was the man who used to look people in the eye without making them flinch,” Liam explained further and I didn’t say anything. I wasn’t sure what to say.Liam turned slightly, his gaze a little distant and he let out a soft cough. "He was engaged once, anyway. Before you,” he revealed and automatically my mind went to Sophie who supposedly tried to harm me the other day. My heart skipped a bit and I realised that I was getting jealous just by hearing that. "W

Chapter Twenty-SixAIDEN"Boss, you need to see this,’ Liam’s voice cut through the hallway like a sharp blade. His voice interrupted my thoughts but I remained calm. Whatever he wanted to save had to be worth it. My instincts flared immediately and I turned from the glass wall of my office and met him halfway. He was holding a small, black box which looked strangely wrapped. There was no more attached to it and I took it from him slowly.I didn't know what to expect as my hands didn’t shake. Not yet. Maybe it would if I see what was in it. "Where did this come from?" I asked, still taking a look at it. "The front gate, sir. There was no signature attached to it and the guard said it was just... there."That was all I needed to hear.I walked back into the office, shut the door behind me, and peeled the lid off.Inside was a flash drive.Just a flash drive? Is this really happening? What was I going to do with this?But I already knew what the sender wanted me to do. Quickly,

Chapter Twenty-EightKIANA"You look confused and that’s okay. You will understand everything soon."That voice sounded so familiar, and twisted. It coiled through the dark like a snake and immediately, my eyes flew open. My hands were tied behind my back and my legs were bound together. I knew that I had just entered the lion's there and no, I wasn't captured. I walked into it because I came to him for help. Panic rose in my chest like fire as I tried to understand what was going on. I couldn't control how I felt any longer and I looked at the direction the voice was coming from. "Felix?" I asked and he stepped into the dim light of the house, walking like a ghost. He kept smiling as if something was equally amusing but…I had no idea what that was. I was scared. I was really scared to my bones that my teeth gritted out of its will. "Don’t look at me like that," he said. "I’m the only one who has ever actually seen you. We both know that.”I jerked against the ropes and my t

Chapter ThirtyAIDEN“Say something, dammit!” I muttered to myself. I guess that kiss she gave me clouded my heart and my head that I decided to get a ring and propose to her. What have I been waiting for? I have loved this girl all my life and it's time to take the right step and do the right thing. But, was I actually thinking properly? I was down on one knee, holding out the ring like a fool and she didn’t move an inch. She also didn’t blink, making me look like I was only wasting my time. Kiana just stood there with her arms wrapped around her own body like I had just stabbed her instead of proposed.What the hell?! Why is this so hard for her? I was trembling and drowning in anxiety because I had one of the most expensive rings on my palm. “Kiana?” I asked again, softer this time and she shook her head slowly, almost like it physically hurt to speak.My heart was already beating so fast that I feared that it might burst my ribs open. I only wanted her to say the word. The
