บททั้งหมดของ Masquerade: His Forbidden Obsession: บทที่ 131 - บทที่ 140

RuggerioMy nerves are like wires set under high voltage as the man I used to call father steps into my line of sight.“What is the meaning of all this, Ruggerio?” He asks, raising his arms slightly before letting them slump again.I scoff, straightening my spine. “First of all, to show you that you fucked with the wrong son.”“And secondly?”Shaking my head, I keep myself from fidgeting around, linking my fingers. “Nothing. Stop fucking around if you don’t want to find out.”“Are you threatening me?”I shrug, my patience wearing thin. “Yes. And not only that.”Shifting his weight from one foot to the other, he points his finger at me. “You are an ungrateful brat.”“And your only surviving heir if you don’t retreat every fucking guy you all have set on us.”He risks a look at Salvatore before he faces me again. “Where is Elisabetta?”“Didn’t you find her in the mansion?” I smirk and he snorts, lowering his hand.“Did she hide somewhere?”I click my tongue, grimacing. “As if there was

Ginevra “Wakey wakey, sunshiiine.” I open my eyes, staring right into my best friend’s glowing face.Rubbing my eyes with a groan, I watch her slump into the chair where Ruggerio was fuming just a few hours ago.“Do you know that you have two giants guarding your door?” She laughs as she pulls her legs beneath her, slipping off her heels. “Thank God I was on the list.”Her gesture of wiping off the sweat on her forehead makes me giggle. “Yeah. All thanks to that.”Lifting my hospital gown, I show her the glued wound on my side.She leans forward, inhaling breath through her teeth before pouting her lips.“My poor baby.”I lay back down, closing my eyes and sighing. “Maybe we really underestimated the situation.”Nina smiles at me, shifting in her seat. “You didn’t know what would happen. Who would have fucking known that your families would go that berserk?!”“Not me,” I say, shaking my head.“Seems like Mr. I’m-the-boss-of-the-world managed it like a pro, though!” We break out in l

Ginevra “This is freaking cute,” Nina says, turning a little white bag in her hands. Looking over at her, I let go of the fabric I was gliding my fingers through. “Take it! It’s cute for real.” She hums, inspecting it further before she speaks without looking at me. “Tomorrow, huh?” “Yeah. Time really flies.” I say, holding back my tears. “Ah, I will miss being able to reach you in a few minutes.” She sniffs, and I nod. “I’ll miss that too.” “But I will call you every day!” “I’ll kick your ass if you don’t!” We remain looking at each other, our eyes filling with tears. “I’m going to pay for that purse now,” Nina says, nearly sobbing. I nod again, which she mirrors in confirmation before she walks to the register. Nina and I met up to spend my last day in the city shopping before we would go into a bar to spend the evening together and dine. Ruggerio is spending his evening with Frank and will have to watch his alcohol consumption. Tomorrow we will finally fly to Napa, an

Ginevra My heart is almost not capable of taking the days following our landing in Napa. In a matter of mere minutes, we made the wonderful house Ruggerio bought us, our home. All the struggles that we had to endure, and all the pain we went through suddenly fade into the background as I experience happiness that makes my heart explode and radiate the amazing feeling through my entire body. After another serious talk, I finally get to confess to him that I really wouldn’t want to go back to the city if the other option would be to spend our lives mainly in this paradise. I’m set on starting this new life with him, and my heart can’t take it as he smiles so happily at me as if I had told him something he was waiting his lifetime to hear. With this goal in mind, we started to organize ourselves step by step and worked out an agreement with Federico and Frank that left them leading the company with Ruggerio as consultant in the back, and me as happy princess-shareholder, as my brot

Ginevra After Ethan left, two of my staff members and I were busy with the wine tasting and settling the guests into the venue. By the time I returned home, Ruggerio was already waiting for me behind the door. I groan happily as he takes me into his arms. “Ah, I needed that!” “How did it go?” He asks, kissing the top of my head. “Pretty good. They were nice and happy.” I sigh with my eyes closed. Breathing in his cologne, I feel my body relaxing against his frame, my insides tingling with joy. He chuckles, hugging me tighter. “If our families knew about us serving other people, they would be even more ashamed.” “Good! I’ll send them some articles to read.” Laughing, I peel myself off him, throwing my head back. He takes the hint, kissing me, and I couldn’t be happier. Totally exhausted. But couldn’t be happier. What a strange yet awesome feeling. “How was the meeting with the boys and the contractors for the new building site?” I ask, making him groan. “Exhausting. And tota
