All Chapters of A Mafia’s Trillionaire for Christmas : Chapter 111 - Chapter 116

THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE~ ALEXANDRO'S POV ~The warehouse smelled like rust and fear.I stood in the doorway of the underground facility, watching Mario adjust his cufflinks with the same care he'd use to arrange flowers. The contrast was unsettling—his casual elegance against the concrete walls stained with God knows what."Ready?" he asked, not looking up from his sleeves.I nodded, though ready was a relative term. The stitches in my side pulled with every breath, Lauren's worried face haunted my thoughts, and the weight of her ultimatum sat like lead in my chest.‘Choose this life or me.’But some choices weren't choices at all.The two men Viktor's crew had left behind were chained to metal chairs in the center of the room. Both are conscious now, both trying to look braver than they felt. The first was younger, maybe twenty-five, with nervous eyes that kept darting between Mario and me. The second was older, scarred, the type who'd seen enough blood to know what was coming."Gentl

NORMAL DAYS AND HIDDEN TRUTHS~ LAUREN'S POV ~I stared at myself in the bathroom mirror, trying to convince my reflection that everything was normal. That I was just a regular girl getting ready for work.

JEALOUSY AND CONFRONTATION~ ALEXANDRO'S POV ~I was barely out of the Storm Publishing parking lot when I hit Mario's number on speed dial.

"Are you seriously calling me because some journalist checked out your girlfriend?""It's not funny, Mario.""It's a little funny. The great Alexandro Castello reduced to a jealous boyfriend." I could practically hear him grinning. "What's next? Are you going to key his motorcycle?""
