Entangled With The Mafia Boss のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

Jericho’s POV, My lips curved into a radiant smile after I had sent a text to Alex. It’s just 5am and I had landed in Rome. I didn’t sleep with Leia last night. I was unable to sleep maybe because of the overwhelming bliss that was stirring within me. I spent the night with Alex, who I ran into at the bar, drinking. We had a discussion about my date and he of course teased me about how I had fallen heads over heels for the same wife I’d kicked against but I denied it again. I wanted to keep things low key till it’s the right time.Quickly, I changed the topic and I brought up Rya. The way he got tensed all of a sudden, still had me chuckling right now. Even though he’d denied not having any feelings towards Rya, I know he’d been hooked by that girl. I had arrived in Rome and in the most prominent and classy hotel. I stood rooted to a spot, hands behind me, looking out through the glass wall in one of the halls which was at the topmost part of the building. I paid to get the hall

One Month LaterLeiaThe view of Venice from my room had never brought me so much ecstasy like it did now. I remained on my feet with my palms shoved against the tempered glass. A subtle smile crept on my face and I heaved a sigh of relaxation. All my thoughts were fixated on Jericho and how he had changed so rapidly. The night I was almost raped became the greatest day of my life. It was the night he confessed his feelings to me. Our date was an icing on the cake.It all started so rough but now, I loved him like I loved life itself and he did also. He cherished me as his wife and made me feel special the best way he could.Something made the smile fade off my face. He was away and this wasn't the first. It's the wake of our affection but he has been busy with meetings, business trips, missions, and all. He always had to be in all of them, neglecting the fact that he had a wife at home. He never saw a problem with it, but I did and all he did was apologize when I told him about it.

Jericho's POV.The weight of the words 'I am pregnant’, dropped down on me all at once. My body turned cold as my eyes refused to leave the food. Not that it was much of a pretty sight, but I was trying my best to curb myself from looking at Leia. As a mother-to-be, she ought to be joyous, but how would she feel when her husband rejected her. I couldn't even help it. Even when I had reassured her that the pregnancy had nothing to do with my silence, it was certain that Leia knew I was lying.I brushed past her without looking at her. What could I say to her? That I was happy. I was supposed to be happy, but the different thoughts that went through my head made it difficult for me to be happy.I zoomed off with the same car I used for my trip. I only stopped driving at a bar. A place where I could alleviate my tension and forget for a while that my wife was pregnant.Leia can't be pregnant now, the words screamed at me as I gulped down my second shot. Things are not looking good for

Jericho’s POV, Agitation! Pride! Fulfillment! These are the words that best described how I was feeling as I took gentle steps through the alley outside the mansion. I was in a corporate working suit but I won’t be working in a mansion rather the penthouse. My hands were folded behind me and a fulfilling smile was etched on my face. I can’t believe this is happening. The feeling of birthing a little life from my seed was just so strange to me and yet fulfilling. I’d finally willed myself to accept the fact that I’m going to be a father soon but that doesn’t mean the underlying worries and questions in me had been satisfied. In fact more questions kept coming and that made me so agitated. The fact that I don’t know whatever Alfonso is plotting in his mind right now, was really disturbing! Knowing him very well, he would stop at nothing until he sees his enemies crumbling to the dust and Leia is one of them. I know I’ve lost a lot of important people in my life before but I won’

Leia's POV, For like a forever moment, I continued to peer into the lady's beautiful face, taking in her delicate features and the hint of sadness and rage glistening in her eyes. I diverted my gaze to Jericho and there he stood before his desk, still frozen like a statue and his obs fixated on the lady. "Lucita?" He finally muffled but loud enough for all of us to hear. His voice was tight with anger as he glared at the stranger in front of him. At the mention of that name, something dawned on me. The name rang a bell and I could swear I’ve heard it before. I racked my brain, trying so hard to remember where I had heard the name and as if my perplexity wasn't enough, Jericho threw me off stage with the next words that rolled out of his mouth. “I thought you were dead!" he yelled, his anger boiling over.Lucita brows narrowed and her lips quivered but she said nothing. "I am going to see Nonnina, I have surely missed her," she finally said and walked out of the office."Nonnina?
