Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mafia’s Property.: Kabanata 141 - Kabanata 150

Natalia's POV: I don't know if it was from fear or embarrassment, but my heart dropped to my stomach so hard it almost felt like I could throw up in a few seconds from now.“Why… why are you asking me that?” I refused to look at Carlo. Just no! But from the corner of my eyes, he looked just as shocked as I felt. Okay, I need to disappear from here somehow! “Please answer the question, Natalia,” She urged softly and I panicked. I fucking panicked because I couldn't remember. I… I wasn't keeping count and with everything going on.. I….I dropped my face into my palm. “I'm so fucked. I'm fucked!” It wasn't what I was thinking right? People do forget these kinds of things and also, it is normal to have late periods. I have been stressed, barely ate anything—that could mess with your hormones, I've heard that before!“What's going on?” Carlo asked carefully, putting an end to my spiralling thoughts and I felt my back stiffen. “Nothing serious, I just need to rule out every possibility

Carlo's POV: ‘You will no longer be marrying Natalia.’ My voice was deep and firm as I passed my message. Luca's eyes stayed trained on mine, brows drawn together as if he was replaying my words in his head so he could understand.And he should.Because I meant every word I said.Silence stretched for a few seconds before he broke it, muttering, “You're joking.” “I'm not,” Came my firm reply.And then he burst into a hysterical laughter, head thrown back, mouth wide open, shoulders trembling. I remained unfazed and calm, watching him laugh. ‘Let him have his moment.’ I thought.Eventually, his laughter died out and his eyes were back on me—blazing with fury as he struggled against his restraint. “That's bullshit!” He snarled, trying to break free from the chains. “You gave me your word. You said I could marry her, hell our wedding is in a few hours. You never go back on your word!” I know, but this was important. “Well, unfortunately. I am going back on my word now, Luca. I've ch

Carlo's POV: I lifted my fist to knock again but just like the last four attempts, I let my hand fall to my side, while my heart thumped at an unnatural pace.“I can't believe I lived long enough to see you nervous,” Enzo mocked and I pinned him with a deathly glare. Of course, he didn't flinch. “Just knock and ask to see her, how hard could it be?” Was he fucking for real?He wasn't here when she'd been so angry, it was almost like I could see hatred in her eyes. It caused a dull ache in my chest for reasons I couldn't fully explain.“Should I do the knocking?” He teased further.“Shut up, Enzo,” I gritted. And then I turned back to the door, lifting my hand again to knock with much determination this time. But just as my knuckles were about to rap on the door, it swung open and my breath caught in my throat.“Camilla,” I muttered, stepping back.Her surprised expression morphed into an amused one as she stepped out of the room, closing the door behind her. When she opened her mou

Natalia's POV: I'd always known Carlo was stubborn but not THIS stubborn. Even after I'd told him off, he remained by my side. Not that he was speaking while moving, he was just ‘watching me.’ I didn't hate it though, not one bit, I reveled it but of course I had to keep a scowl on my face the whole time…I won't be going back on my word though, he'd hurt me. He can't just slip back into my life like nothing happened.At some point. I broke the silence and asked him to go away but all he said was, “Please.” And I kind of felt like shit. For a brief second actually.It had taken the arrival of Caterina, Angela and Ava to get him out of my room and even then he was hesitant.Cute. He crouched down in front of Ava and whispered something to her that made her giggle and I frowned. When did those two become friends? When she placed a kiss on his cheek my eyes grew to the size of saucers.Okay, I had lots of questions.He rose to his full height, ruffling her hair and with one last glanc

Natalia's POV: Saved by the motherfucking bell! Or so I thought.Carlo didn't move, didn't even pause for nothing. In fact, his lips were just a hair's breadth away from mine when the knock came again and I had to place a hand over my lips to stop him. Only then did he lift his head, frowning deeply.“Someone's knocking!” I whispered harshly, but it was muffled by my hand so I dropped it, repeating my words, “Someone's knocking! Get off!” I could feel him against me—his growing erection pressing hard against my stomach. ‘Do not think about sex, Natalia! Do not!’Lord, my resolve was breaking and it was breaking really fast! The soft rap of knocking came again and I tried harder this time to get him off.“Carlo! Goddammit, don't you hear the knocking?” But instead of backing away, he just shrugged. “I don't care, they can wait.” What the—No. No. No. This was a chance to hold on to whatever dignity I had left, a chance to escape his charms!I will not ruin this opportunity give
