Semua Bab Entangled With The Mafia Boss: Bab 101 - Bab 110

I watched Jericho leave and I heaved a sigh. Yeah, I decided to stay back because of Leia, I felt we should not leave her all alone. She is all over the place, she is barely holding up, it would not be a surprise if she lost her pregnancy.Also, I wouldn't blame Jericho for absconding. If I was in his shoes, I would have done the same. I know he really fell hard but it could happen to anyone.Well, I also have a personal agenda for staying behind. I couldn't fold my arms and continued watching all that Jericho had built crumble. He will lose it if he loses Leia. He might not admit it, but that girl has come to be his all in all. I witnessed it three years ago when Lucita disappeared. If he loses Leia he will not only lose himself but his position. Alfonso will not allow a man with such a weakness to take over the business he had built with his blood. I had to help Jericho out in my own way even if it meant being at variance with him. If there's anything I am crazy about, it's L

The urgency in Alfonso's voice made my heart skip for a split second as I looked into my phone. I turned back in and told Leia I had to go attend to an urgent matter.She smiled back and I took my leave. It was a good thing to see her smile.I ventured into my car and drove down to Alfonso's chambers. He was standing right at the entrance with a blank expression on his face. His hands were folded behind him.Immediately when he set his eyes on me, he turned around and led the way. Was he waiting for me? He was in front while I trailed from behind, trying to meet up with his insanely high pace. On getting to his chambers, he walked slowly towards his seat and sat on one of the arm rests. His blank gaze turned cold as he looked at me. I shifted uncomfortably where I stood as I waited to hear the reason for the meeting.“What audacity! You took your boss’ ex to the torture cave!” he shot at me. I wanted to ask how he found out, but then I remembered he was Alfonso and pretty much kn

LeiaMy throat was patched and my eyes were puffy due to how badly I’d cried over the phone to Rya. Was I really crying because of Alex's condition or was that just a facade to cover the fact that I’d really cry out all the pains and anguish in my heart caused by Jericho? No matter how I tried to not, I just couldn’t control my heart ache when Jericho walked right out on me. I’m the victim here right? he’s the one who’d cheated on me. Aren’t I the one who’s supposed to be giving him the cold shoulders? Yet the reverse seems to be the case. Knowing that he wasn’t really at fault made me feel like I’m the bad guy now and knowing how worst Alex's condition is hurting right now while I’m here upset that he’d to leave me alone made me feel so guilty—so guilty that it hurts. Is this how love really is? You’re ready to suffer pains in silence just to be the understanding wife to your partner?! Tired of staring at the beautiful dark sky allured with stars, I left the window side and wiped

RyaTowards evening, while still with Leia, trying to break through the awkwardness that was as thick as metal in the room, she got a call. Seconds after the call, her eyes lit up and I could only hope it had to do with Alex. A slight grin made its way to her once weary face. “He is awake,” she announced.My heart leaped for joy at the mention of that. I didn’t even know I had jumped up from my seat in excitement. That had to be the most exciting news I had gotten that whole year. I gave her a quick smile, grabbing the coat that I had earlier hung on the chair. I had never been more desperate to see someone and I wouldn’t blame myself. It was hard not to feel that way for someone you considered special. Although the prevailing circumstances drove a wedge between us, my heart still longs for him and that's why I am here. I hoped I wouldn’t die from awkwardness.“Hey, where are you going? We can use my car” Leia announced. I had not realized that I was making my way to the front door

LucitaNervousness and anxiety clung to me like a heavy coat as I walked as fast as my legs could carry me. I was so shocked when I heard Leia call me by my new name. It turned out that she wasn't as lukewarm as I had thought.I was so sure of myself when I walked in here to claim back my man, but with my cover blown, the best was to retreat.I shook my head as rage overwhelmed me. It weakened me each time I saw her and I couldn’t do anything to bring her down. She most certainly had Jericho's big protective arms wrapped tightly around her, preventing her from getting what she deserved.I went back to Nonina’s chambers to grab some of my stuff. The last thing I wanted was for all my plans to go down the drain while I was at Banda’s mansion. Jericho would rip me apart if he heard I messed up again.Grabbing a pen, I scribbled some words into a note. Words that wouldn’t make it seem like I was running. Only the guilty ran, I had grown to learn that. Maybe if I blamed Jericho for my disa
