บททั้งหมดของ Wanted By The Mafia King: Not Your Propery Don Lucien: บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

I didn’t just task the investigator I hired to find Gianna, I also ordered him to report everything he could learn or discover about everything that has happened in her life ever since the night she disappeared. I wanted to know who I was coming up against, going into a new state unprepared would be folly and to their detriment. My biggest concern was the information I got about the man Gianna was supposedly working for, it was reported that he was a seasoned war hero. He didn’t shy away from conflict, he faced them head-on no matter the circumstances levied before him. If diplomacy failed to resolve the problem at hand, there was every possibility that war would be the next logical move and I was going to relish going up against a manlike Ethan. Before we left home, I sent out spies all over to report any news of an ambush as soon as we landed. I would hate to be blindsided and if anything I’ve read happened to be true, Ethan was besotted with Gianna and love could make a man do u

Six months ago“Here’s a cup of milkshake to thank you for covering my shift tonight, Gianna.” I grinned from ear to ear as she pushed the cup towards me. I reluctantly accepted with a long sigh, grateful to be heading home after working a double-shift for the fourth time in a week. I waved Emma goodbye before starting my long journey home. I couldn’t afford to use the subway because I was dead broke with a lot of debts left unpaid, so I had to save up every spare dollar I could afford. I checked my watch, it was 12:00 AM already, I would only be able to sleep for three hours before I would need to divide my mornings between taking care of my sick roommate, Eve and trying to catch up on everything I was falling short on. The road home was lonely but safe, I walked down this path everyday, dragging my tired legs and longing for my bed. Ever since I moved here, I knew I had to come up with a story that would be believable if I wanted to stay and from my experience, everyone got move

“I’ve been talking to you for a minute now but you haven’t responded yet. Is there a problem?” Alessandro asked me, forcing me to jolt out of my daydreaming as I stared at his face, still wallowing in shock over what had just happened. I had a lot of unanswered questions and I didn’t know where to start. For the past three years, I’ve stayed off social media, I’ve never had my picture taken and I’ve made sure to completely disappear off the face of the earth and the only thing I’ve been focused on is just work and trying to fend for myself—nothing else. So how the fuck did he find me here in Manhattan? “Is there a problem?” Tiffany touched me and I shivered slightly. I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand. “No, there’s none.” I looked around to see the situation had been taken care of and the man had been removed from the room. I opened my mouth to speak but Tiffany beat me to it. “Don Alessandro was all too kind to take him outside despite his protests, he’s such a gentl

Alessandro’s POVDespite Yoda’s pleas and his warnings, I managed to find a way to make sure I got Gianna back by any means necessary as I conned Ethan into making me a guest at his place for a month. It was all I needed to make things work in my favor and if it didn’t…Well, I didn’t want to riddle myself with sad news right now so I banished every negative thought from my mind and tried to come up with ways on how to make this work. After everything that had happened with Lydia over three years ago, if I wanted her to come back to Los Angeles with me and start all over again, I had to give her a good reason that wouldn’t make her want to leave if the chance ever arose. It was one of my failures back then and I was determined not to let it happen again.I had to make her feel loved and make her see that I was in love with her as well, hoping that someday she would fall in love with me once again and become mine when we were certain that this was what we both wanted. I was willing t

I shuddered in fright as I began to recount the incidents of the nightmare that just passed. The room had fallen silent, Tiffany seemed lost in deep thought as her face contorted into different expressions as I watched her keenly as she took in everything I said. I hated being in this spot but I knew why it had happened. My past was threatening to break free from where I’d buried it. I gulped as I kept on trying as hard as I could to suppress the tears from running down my cheeks. I couldn’t show how weak I was in front of her, I had to toughen up like I always had whenever I was bullied in high school. I had to wait out the storm coming and face whatever obstacle life would throw my way. I cradled my stomach, feeling worried about my son who was sleeping soundly. If I didn’t know how to protect myself, how was I going to protect him if Alessandro discovered the truth about his fatherhood? I felt Tiffany’s hands on my shoulder, jolting me out of my daydreaming as I turned to face
