Lahat ng Kabanata ng FORBIDDEN LOVE WITH THE MAFIA KING: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

KAYLA About an hour later The ride to the mall was rather smooth with Liliana telling everything that had happened to her so far and how dad missed me so much and probably won't let me marry if he could. I smiled from time to time and said a thing or two so it wouldn't be obvious that I was distant and frequently spacing out. “ You should take a bodyguard or two at least,” our chauffeur insisted since Liliana was so hesitant. “ I told you we'll be fine. We don't need one intimidating guy on black ruining our time to bond,” Liliana was stubborn about this. “ But you'll need someone to help you carry your shopping bags,” he said. “ Fine but just two is enough,” she finally gave in. “ We'll do our best not to get in the way of your shopping,” they bowed their head. “ Sure,” she nodded and grabbing my hand, “ let's head in,” she beamed. “ I can't believe you drove all the way here just because you wanted to shop,” i had to give

KAYLA The cafe door chimes open, signaling a new arrival. I glanced up, my heart feeling slightly at ease yet stressed on seeing Miro. Nico was with him. “ Oh, Miro you're finally…” Liliana stopped more than halfway through her welcoming. It was obvious that she was surprised to see Nico after all. “ Nico? You're here?” “ You two seem to be enjoying your afternoon. Apparently, Miro made me tag along,” he answered. Seeing Nico side by side with Miro made me realize just how similar they were. “ Hey, Kayla… Leona,” he quickly corrected himself. “ I'm already used to calling you Kayla,” he apologized. “ It's alright. Even I haven't fully gotten accustomed to the name yet,” I managed to force a smile. “ Aren't you two going to order something? You can't come to a cafe and sit down without getting drinks at least,” Liliana nagged them. “ You do know that carbonated drinks aren't good for you, though,” Nico said. “ Piss off,” she rolled her

KAYLA I didn't know when I found myself sitting amongst my teammates in a bar. How had I been dragged here? “ This is really bad,” I banged my head against the table. “ Are you alright, Kayla?” Hannah whispered to me after noticing my expression. “ No, I'm not. I want to go home,” I groaned. “ I never thought you'd be so plain about your feelings,” she wasn't expecting me to admit that I did not want to be here. “ Anyway, we're not going to force you to do any drinking game. You said you were engaged, right?” “ Yes,” now this felt like a deja vu. “ Then, you'll be exempted. We don't want your fiance misunderstanding,” she reassured. “ Yeah, thanks a lot,” I said nearly dryly. It didn't matter if I participated in a drinking game or not, Ricardo would find a way to use this outing against me somehow. It was nearly like he was always waiting for me to slip up. I watched as the my teammates had fun and danced the night away but I w

KAYLA I took out my phone from my pocket and checked the time. Time hadn't gone that far and something about me wanted to be a little bit more reckless today. Maybe I was feeling the need to challenge Ricardo's authority or I had been caged for quite too long. “ Gian,” I turned to look at him. “ I don't know why but that gave me goosebumps,” he had a bad feeling about this. “ I want to drink the night away and…” I paused. “ And?” He asked. “ And go loose for today. How about it?” “ Woah. Slow down, Tiger,” he placed both hands in front of me, gesturing for me to take things easy.“ I thought you were going to be cautious about Ricardo?” “ Yeah but don't forget I said, I'd do things my way,” I reminded him. “ So are you in or out?” I folded my arms. “ It's past your bedtime, you know,” he tried to change the topic. “ No, it's not. Besides, I'm not a little kid anymore,” I frowned. “ Stop trying to change the t

KAYLA The carnival lights twinkled, casting a warm and fantasy like glow over the bustling crowd. It was a lot more crowded than I had imagined - the sound of music, laughter and merchants yelling out to potential customers filled the air. I had never attended a carnival before now. “ Wow! It looks amazing here,” I gasped as I stood frozen in one spot trying to take in the view of the place. “ Keep your jaw closed, we don't want flies getting in now, do we?” He closed my mouth with his hand. “ Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were going to take me here?” I turned around to look at him. I was obviously too excited for this carnival. “ Haven't you heard of surprises?” He was tired of answering my questions. I was acting like a six year-old right now. “ You wanted to surprise me? Awwn, that's so cute,” I jumped around like someone on ecstacy. “ You're so annoying,” he blocked my face with his hand, keeping me away from him. “ You se
