Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Touch of Madness: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

I didn't realize that this problem was that big, that there were more dangerous things beyond everything I knew that concerned my world."Does everyone... in the mafia know me?" I asked.Vito leaned back in his chair and nodded. "You've been the object of several conversations. But the Cosa Nostra protects you from everything. You're untouchable by people who intend to do bad things to you."I swallowed, staring blankly at the sponge cake on the table. "How come I just found out about this?"All I knew so far was that my father stayed away from my grandfather because he didn't agree with my parent's marriage and that my mother wasn't born rich. But now, another reality was more dangerous and nightmare-like."Everyone was intent on keeping everything from you because granpa thought you'd rebel and run away. Do more than your father.""Dad should have taken us away from the United States or Europe." I muttered, feeling pain in my chest."You can't run away from him. Your father realized

Flashback. “Your blood is on my shirt, Fitz.” I rolled up my shirt sleeves, hiding the bloodstain in question. “That was the third attack.”He glared at me, his expression rebellious under the blood and bruises. He was tied to a chair, his arms and legs bound with rope. He was the only one of Killian Davenport's accomplices still conscious. The other two slumped in their chairs, their heads buzzing and their blood hitting the floor steadily, dripping and continuing to drip. Some of their limbs were bent at unnatural angles.“You talk too much.” Fitz spat out a mouthful of dark red liquid. Firtz Davenport. An ex-criminal with a mile-long rap sheet, steel balls, and a brain the size of a walnut-like his older brother.I smiled, then hit him again. His head jerked back, and an agonized groan filled the air. My bruised knuckles stung. This room was my private room, which was not clean. Far from my clean and cozy bedroom, there was copper, sweat, and the thick, irritating scent of fear. T

I made a quick observation as I looked around the bar, which was five blocks away from my cafe. It was in a place of small, luxurious buildings. Fancy restaurants, hidden casinos, homestays, and finally, a bar that dominated the rest of the row of buildings. That was the Ivory.Kennan's bar.It's still early afternoon, but several expensive cars are already lined up in the parking lot. I looked at Kate, who raised her eyebrows. "What? Are you hesitating?""I've never come to a place... like this." Just from the outside, I already knew that this place was so expensive and exclusive. There were probably only a few more than average rich people who would come here. There was even a guard outside. I grimaced. "I think one bottle of burbon here is worth the price of my car." I continued.Kate snorted. "There's no need for that. I'll pay for everything.""I didn't tell you to pay. Oh my! I'm just guessing, it's not like I can't afford to buy you a drink here." I said.She chuckled. "I'm sor

My head throbbed when I opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was the curtain moving in the wind. Then, there was nothing. This was Sebastian's room. I was in his room in his house.I felt the two arms wrapped firmly around my waist and realized someone was behind me. Wrapping me so tightly in his arms. I moved, trying to break Sebastian's hold. Instead, he pressed himself closer to me.Now, I'm starting to try to put together the broken pieces of sense in my completely messed-up head. I remember this afternoon I was with Kate, walking around Cambrdige to look for a suitable place for my cafe branch, and then Kate offered me to use Beau's shop. Then, we both went to Ivory, Kennan's bar, and...Oh my god.Killian.Killian was tied to a chair and tortured by Sebastian and his men. That image haunts me now, realizing that Sebastian would be more than capable of hurting me as well. Hurt other people that I care about.The jolt inside me made me falter. Sebastian had knocked me out with hi

I sat up after Sebastian rolled from on top of me to my side. I pulled the blanket over my breast and looked up at his smiling face."Why do you look so happy right now?"Sebastian chuckled. His big smile was something I rarely saw. It would appear when he was playing with Ace or when he was happy and I was obeying his words. And now... yeah, he must be satisfied that he managed to trick me again and lock me up here.He'll also probably smile when he's done taking out the people who got in his way. That's for sure. He's a cold-blooded killer."I've given you my body, now give me my phone.""You don't need a phone, we'll spend our time here without being bothered by phones." He replied casually.I wrinkled my nose. "The thing is, I don't want to spend more time with you, Sebastian." I got off the bed, picking up the dress pyjamas he had thrown on the floor earlier. "I have a lot of things to take care of. I have a meeting because I'm going to open a branch of my cafe somewhere, and I c
