All Chapters of Claimed by the ruthless Mafia Lord: Chapter 181 - Chapter 189

Alex's POVI drove into the parking lot and killed my engine. My fingers tapped against the steering wheel for a moment before I finally stepped out of the car. Deep down, I was still reluctant about coming to see him but I couldn't say no. Not after Daniella's pleas and the conviction I had after thinking about Kelly and Ivy. The evening air was calm but instead of calming my worries, it carried my worries with it. My eyes lifted to the tall billboard standing just above the café doors. Its warm orange glow spelled out the name clearly in capital italics. Tastybuds Café. I stood there for a moment as I stared at the billboard, my chest tightening. This was the place Mrs. Cathe had sent me to. Now, all that was left was to walk inside.I pushed the glass door open and stepped into the café. A soft bell rang above as soon as I entered and the warm aroma of coffee and freshly baked pastries filled my nostrils. This reminded me of Kelly. Kelly loved pastries so much and perceiving t

Alex's POV My car rolled to a stop right behind Mrs Cathe's car. I killed my engine, gripping firmly on the steering. I stepped out of the car, my eyes scanning the tall office building ahead of me. The night air was colder here. I glanced at my wristwatch, 7:15. I smoothed out my shirt as the cold bit against my skin, that wasn't my priority. I just needed to get the evidence needed to save Kelly. Mrs. Cathe locked her car and motioned for me to follow. My boots echoed against the pavement as I trailed behind her, heading towards the entrance door of the building. Every step I took tightened the knot in my chest. I knew and I could feel it that I was walking closer to achieving what was a very important goal in my life Mrs Cathe and I were here for one reason only and that reason was to get the CCTV footage. That proof could save Kelly’s life.We reached the glass entrance, and Mrs. Cathe fumbled out her office card from her bag. With one swift swipe, the scanner beeped and the

Alex's POV The next day“Please be safe. Don't return without Kelly. We don't know what Adrian is capable of. I hope to see you soon. Ivy is also excited.” Daniella smiled sorrowfully while ivy wiggled my arms as she played with her hair.“Don’t worry, Dani. I will bring Kelly back. We are going to the address Adrian sent to us. I won't return without Kelly. I would rather die than leave without her. You have my word” I said firmly, brushing my hand over Ivy’s tiny fingers.Ivy giggled, tugging at my shirt like she always did. I felt a pang in my heart. These moments were moments I would forever cherish. I forced a smile. Daniella’s eyes glistened with worry, but she nodded, trusting me.“I believe every word you say, Alex.”I leaned closer, kissing Ivy’s forehead gently while whispering softly.“Daddy will bring Mommy back, pumpkin. That's a promise, okay? So be good to me before mom comes back and takes you away from me.” I kissed her forehead again.She babbled in her baby voice l

Kelly's POVThe gun shot rang out, loud and deafening, echoing through the walls like thunder. My whole body froze, my feet rooted beneath me, my ears ringing as the smell of smoke filled the air. I squeezed my eyes shut, certain that the bullet was aimed at me and that this was probably the end of the world for me. But when I slowly opened my eyes only to realize I was still standing. With a trembling hand, I reached for my temple and touched it, no wound, no pain, no blood. Wait…..what?Why am I still standing?Who was the gunshot for?.I turned slightly and there was the almighty Adrian staggering back while clutching his chest. Fresh blood seeped through his shirt as his gun slipped from his hand.Relief and shock wrecked my body at once.I am alive!I am alive!I shouted in my head and without thinking, I bolted forward, my legs moving based on my instinct and without warning, I threw myself into Alex’s arms. His arms wrapped around me instantly, strong and steady, as if he

Kelly's POV Our car rolled to a stop right In front of the supreme court. Daniella stepped out with a baby cart. She opened it up and put Ivy inside. I stepped out with Camille bay my side. We exchanged smiles and walked into the court. Alex's car approached a few minutes later and he walked into the court room, seating a few seats across from me.The courtroom was filled with quiet murmurs from all walks of life. I could feel the tension in the air. I smiled at Camille, as we made our way to the front. Daniella sat close to me, rocking Ivy gently in her cart while giving me a reassuring smile. Daniella was like a precious gem. She played the role of a mother perfectly to Ivy for five days. I touched her thighs gratefully.I glanced across the room and found Alex already watching me, his presence calming my nerves. He gave me a small nod and then smiled as if telling me I wasn’t alone. Of course I knew I wasn't alone in this. I had him, our pumpkin, Daniella and Camille.Taking a d
