All Chapters of The Mafia's Hidden Obsession : Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

ALMA’S POVIt wasn’t possible, there was no way Martha was the shooter. I refused to believe it because believing it meant I had slept under the same roof with someone that could have killed me any time.“What do we know about her?” Ava seemed unbothered by the discovery, almost relieved that she had something to chase. “She doesn’t look like she belongs to any of the gangs around here, she’s old enough that I would have noticed her if she was someone of importance.”“She could be a hired mercenary” Big Mac waved the tech away, and he happily skipped out of the room, holding his laptop tight. “There are people who still want to pick a fight with you.”Ava sniffed. “Anyone who would have been a threat to me was taken of years ago, and if there was anyone in the streets who thought differently, word would have gotten to me first before she had a chance to put a bullet inside me.”He sighed, rubbing his abundant beards. “I can ask lanky to check her out, it’ll take a while but not the wh

ZAVERIO’S POVDespite my selfish wishes, I couldn’t keep this news from Alma. She and her mother needed to know Lucas Diablo had been playing for their side. I hated the air of importance around the man but it wasn’t my business to like him.“Hi” I spoke softly into the phone when Alma picked up, I would understand if she was angry with me, I always fucked things up.“I want to say I’m surprised you finally called but honestly I’m relieved, how has it been back there.”“Quiet.” I smiled when my fingers played with the papers on my desk. “I’m not used to quiet in my world, and I keep waiting for the second pin to drop. It’s a war zone out here on a daily basis so peace makes us skittish.”“I can tell.” I heard her shuffle in the background and I knew she was getting comfortable; my call probably came in when she was getting ready for bed. “How’s my angel? I would have called earlier but I didn’t know which lines were secure and because I am a coward.”“The first one I agree with but t

AVA’S POVLucas Diablo in the flesh stood before me, bleeding on the nice Russian rug on Zaverio’s floor, I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t understand the value of what we were stepping on, but I delivered some of my goods in these rugs so I wrinkled my nose in distaste as I watched it get soiled.“Are you going to talk or am I going to watch you bleed to death?” I sipped my too hot tea without making a face. The left side of Lucas’ jeans was soaked with his blood, and he hadn’t started waving on his feet yet but he was sweating.“I wanted to talk to you and Alma.” He said, but it sounded like a question. He wasn’t in his right senses to say anything, much less have a full blown conversation with me.“Your daughter did say she didn’t want to speak to you, don’t you remember that part?” I was happy that Alma wanted to protect me, and internally I wanted him to hurt like I had all these years but logically I understood the sacrifice he had made.Unfortunately, logic always won last i

GIO’S POV“Gio!” Zaverio clapped once. “I’m so glad you could join us, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you we were having dinner, but I guessed you wouldn’t mind staying for a couple of hours.”Rose stiffened next to me but didn’t breathe a word, and I knew the problem wasn’t sitting to eat, it would be sitting beside Alvaro who looked more than happy as he stood and offered me the chair by his side.My lover didn’t have to look at me, and I wanted to act along and play by our new rules but I needed to be polite and explain to Alvaro that whatever he thought we were, was a mistake.I smiled politely at him as I sat, sparing a glance at Rose who stood by the door looking straight ahead, if not for the strong way her jaw was set, I wouldn’t know she was upset.“Von tells me you want to see me, and I want to have a few words with you concerning the recent developments but tonight is about family.” Zaverio looked pointedly at Alma. “I want to have dinner without talking about something I can’t co

GIO’S POV“Alvaro wants to meet with me.”Rose’s lips slanted downwards like she had tasted bitter. “No.”I sighed, knowing my lover wanted the conversation and honestly I didn’t want to fight over it, but I did need to meet with Alvaro to sort out the miscommunication, he was also the only informant I had.“Baby, I’m not saying I am going to meet him alone, and I know you’ll still say no but I have to meet with him, if he tries to do anything inappropriate, I’ll shoot him myself.”Rose gave me a tender look, “You don’t know how to shoot a gun sweetheart, I’ll kill him if he tries anything.”“I know you’re a wonder woman with a gun, but I’ll have you know I passed through basic training and I do know how to shoot a gun.” I took in her angular face, trailing my fingers over her perfect jawline.“I don’t know if you remember that I know almost everything about you. I had to read your file to memorize the little things that mattered and what stood out for me were your horrible shooting s
