Claimed By The Mafia King のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

[ Arielle ]The thirty minutes ride from the event venue to the hotel was invaded by silence. I was sent back to the hotel by Vincent when I was enjoying the only thing I liked in the event; the food. My appetite died when Vincent told me to leave urgently. He looked tensed but his face was hard to express his emotions.“Order something from the hotel, Signora. I know you’re still hungry.” Marcello said when we were in the elevator.“I am not hungry anymore, Marcello. I just want to be alone and nobody ordering me around until morning.” I snapped back at him as I was really pissed off.The guards checked the suite before they let us go inside. I directly went into my room and locked it.“I am in the living room until Capo comes back. if you need anything, please do tell me.” I heard him saying from other side of the door and then he left.I quickly threw the heels in a corner not caring if it’d be damaged. I fell on the bed and took deep breaths. When I thought everything is falling o

[ Arielle ]White ceiling, a dull pain in my upper body and spinning head, that’s what I experienced when I woke up on a hospital bed. I hate hospitals and the smell of it but it was a private room. I tried to speak but my throat was dry so I pressed the alarm.The doors burst open within seconds and a group of medical stuff rushed inside before I could process anything. Behind them, the De Niro guards entered, alarmed and ready to shoot if they see danger when I recalled how I ended up in a hospital.I was shot but I survived.“How are you feeling now, Mrs. De Niro?” The doctor asked me after he checked my vitals, eyes and heartbeats.“I feel mild pain in my right shoulder. I hope it won’t increase when the effect of medicines wear off.” I told him with a weak smile but the sweat beads on his face was the evidence of the pressure he must be feeling.“Good, you’re in a good condition. The wound will heal in two weeks but you may need physiotherapy for a few weeks for the smooth moveme

[ Arielle ]A week has passed since the gala night and the attack. Vincent made all the necessary arrangements for my recovery. Doctors visit me twice a day to check on my wound which is healing but I am still not able to move my hand, even the slightest move pains a lot.I haven’t seen him since we returned to the estate. I mostly have my meals alone. I know he comes to the house but never for once, I got a chance to see him. Marcello also visits me when the doctors examine me. I know something is going on, the security is also tripled and whenever I wish to breathe in open air, guards circle me.Knowing, it’s useless to fight, I gave up and started living my life as it is planned by my husband. He wants to keep me safe, he doesn’t care if I feel suffocated.My thoughts were disturbed by Emily’s footsteps because no one else is allowed to come near me unless the guards check them.“Ma’am, Mrs. De Niro is here. She wants to see you.” Emily informed me and when I heard my mother-in-law

[ Vincent ]Arielle Wilson, a name which has been invading my mind for last eight days. I tried telling myself that it just my mind playing with my sanity and engrossed myself in my work. The return of Faolan Walsh and his secret meetings with Nikolai spread among the circles like a wild fire. As the leader of the Italian mafia, the responsibility to stop Nikolai who is also seeking aid from the Mexican mafia along with Faolan, fell upon my shoulders.“So, what’s next, Capo?” Marcello asked. I left him at the estate to ensure my family’s security and to handle the business in my absence.“Faolan has brain, Nikolai has the resources and it’s a deadly combination. We need to be discreet. Edward has taken the responsibility to trace Faolan’s activities who is working lowkey. We have to catch him when he expects the least and our chance is near, the annual meeting of the mafia heads in Madrid and this year my brother-in-law is hosting it.” I lay out my plans to him.“Do you really think t

[ Arielle ]“I can’t believe, you’re going to the vineyard and the Capo himself is taking you there?” Emily paced behind me. Her face told that she was in shock, Marcello had same expression when he saw me getting ready.“Yes, in fact, you have a day’s rest today. Go and give yourself some time.” I said and checked my appearance in the mirror. I wore a white cotton shirt with high waist denim jeans and boots. I asked the guards about the soil and structure and they suggested me to wear boots instead of sneakers or normal shoes.“You look different today, more like yourself today, Ma’am but I’d suggest you to open your hairs, they look more prettier when they wave in the air.” She said pointing on my high ponytail.I took in her advise and let my hairs fall on my shoulders. I applied a nude shade of lipstick.“It’s perfect now. The Capo won’t be able to take his eyes off from you, Ma’am.” She teased me and I again slipped into my thoughts.I don’t know where we stand in our marriage. I
