Semua Bab Married To My Mother's Fiance : Bab 121 - Bab 130

Huracio “How I do it is up to you.” I retorted. Keeping my distance, I stood with my hands in my pockets. He must not sense or see my nervousness. It would only give him a momentum I wasn't equipped to deal with. “What do you mean?” “Relent on your rejection of Katalina and my son. As long as you let them come back, we will be good. I will forgive you.” His shoulders shook with his chuckle. It was dripping with ridicule. He found my words ridiculous, and stupid. “What about Celine? What explanation will you give her family?” “You know that Celine is not a problem. She is a controlled pet.” He stood up and started pacing. His raging was just below the surface. If I should say the wrong thing, it would blow up. I kept silent, waiting for him to work out his thoughts. I must not preempt him, so I don't fall into a trap. “So you would rather betray your family than abandon that woman and her child? They are more important than the bond we built all this year? I promised your bro

Huracio“You want to explain what is going on? What are you doing here, Sophia?” I turned to her, hoping I was wrong. She had her eyes widened and her jaws were on the floor. She looked confused and scared. Her jaws moved, but no words came out. She shook her head like she was trying to deny an allegation. “Sophia. What did he ask you to do?” I snapped at her. “He-he wants me to tame you like we did to Celine.” She found her voice and rushed her words. She broke out in cold sweat and tried to stay calm, but her breathing started becoming erratic, and I could see her hands shivering non-stop. “What did you say?” I gasped. It felt like I was struck with lightning. I thought of everything that could happen, but I never thought Salvatore would dare to do that to me. I had actually underestimated his determination to control me, and overestimated his affection for me. “Huracio, what do we do? If I don't do as he says, he will implicate my whole family. He said so.” “He threatened yo

Huracio When I woke up the next morning, the day was bright and hot. The men who helped me escape from Salvatore's lair took me to a military safehouse in the middle of nowhere. From here, we would make our way out of the country without crossing the border. I picked up my phone and sent a message to Rosa. Five minutes later, she was knocking on my door. “How did you sleep?” She asked as she walked past me with a food tray.“As always. My dreams were filled with her. But this time, my son was also there. He likes playing with sand. So we went to the beach and built castles.” “Such a good dream. Now come and eat.” She opened the main dish. It was a heap of braised ribs, beans, and sourdough. “Is this not too heavy?” I raised a brow in astonishment. If I should eat that, I would either be purging all day, or be constipated. Two extremes with no in-between. “You have a lot of traveling to do today. We will not be able to cook a decent meal. Just eat what you can eat and I will pa

Huracio. The moment I stepped out of that room, my back broke out in cold, chilling sweat. All that bravery in front of Renald was nothing but braggadocio. I was petrified the whole time. Renald might be a snake who hid too well until now, but he is still very dangerous. The Alkim groups didn't just become powerful. His dead grandfather was said to be a gangster who rose through political thuggery. The man ruled the underworld and later white-washed some of his money to start what later became the Alkim group of companies. That is a company built on the bones of his enemies, with the blood of their descendants. Since Renald turned Seven, his grandfather took him from his parents and personally trained him. By the time Renald was in senior high school, he was already practicing investments. By the time he was in his second year in the university, he started working at the company on holidays. Once his grandfather stepped down as the CEO, Renald's father didn't even get the chance to

Huracio “Huracio, you son of a bitch. How dare you leave without setting Lucio free? Huracio, Don't play with me. Come back instantly and set him free or I will report you to my brother. I will tell him you laid your hands on me. I will tell him you raped me and beat me up. Huracio, you bastard. Hello, hello, Huracio, are you there!”With each threat and curse word, I couldn't help but flinch. Even though it was a setup, it felt too real. Since it was real for Celine, she sounded vicious and crazy, alarming Renald. His face turned pale, and his brows creased. By the end of Celine's tirade, his eyes were filled with incredulity. “Celine, listen…”“No. You listen! You don't love me. I also don't love you anymore. All we have to do is talk to my brother. He will give you whatever you want. What do you want, Huracio? Just ask.” Shaking my head dejectedly, I ended the call. “Sorry about that.” I huffed. “What's going on?’ he asked. “You may want to sit down for this.” For this tri
