Claimed by the Mafia Boss のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

The sun cast a warm glow over the courtyard, we were at the Mafia house. Vitali had meant it when he said I was going to fight with an actual person for the last part of my training.And to be honest, I was really nervous, what if I didn’t do well, what if I got beat up and disgraced? It was safe to say that I had cold feet.Vitali had encouraged me all through the drive here, he had looked really stressed, so I had to pretend like I was fine so as not to stress him even further. We couldn’t continue with what we wanted to last night because something came up- Charles had a seizure, Vitali had to quickly call the family doctor. Everyone had panicked, including myself. Charlie was diagnosed with a stroke but this was the first time he would be getting a seizure Luckily he was fine in the end. It was so late and everyone was so tired, I went to my room to have some sleep and Vitali went to his. I didn’t have my juices licked and I wasn’t disappointed because I knew we had bigger p

Today I had woken up really early, so I could divide the roses Vitali gave me into smaller sections and send it out to the orphanage before I leave for school. I had some help dividing and sharing them, and when we were done we had 20 smaller bundles.After we were done with that, I asked the help to put them in the trunk of Vitali’s car. Then, I got ready for school. Vitali told me I could wear anything I wanted to school today and from today henceforth. I didn’t know if he said that because Maggie and Charles were around or because he really meant but I was appreciative nevertheless.Once in the car, I was surprised to see that Vitali was the one to drive. “Am I in the wrong car?” I asked skeptical about shutting the door. I expected him to ask me to come down because he’d decided to go with this car or something.“Nope, you’re not. I’m dropping you off at school today” he replied me. “What? I thought you were busy. You really don’t have to” I protested , I didn’t want a sit

“Really?” I widened my eyes in surprise “Yes Elizabeth “ he affirmed “ what do you mean you’re going away for a month?” I shrieked .I didn’t like that, I didn’t want him to be away from me for a whole month. A few months ago, I would have been happy to be away from his suffocating presence but this wasn’t a few months ago. Now we had something going on and I wasn’t ready to be apart from him for that long.What's worse? He’s not even sure he’s returning in a month, that means it might take even longer. “Relax baby girl “ he put his hands on my shoulder to calm me down but I was already hyperventilating -not literally.The news was quite shattering , over the past few weeks, I had gotten used to being around Vitali and enjoying our little talks, banter and kisses. “Do you really have to go?” I hugged him“Yes baby” he stroked my hair “Why didn’t you tell me long before now, you’d have given me enough time to mentally prepare “ I shoved him gently “I didn’t mean to not tell y

“What?” My jaw dropped Had Tristan gone mad? How could he expect me to marry him when I had a whole husband?"Beth, from the moment I met you, I knew that you were the one for me," Tristan said, his voice trembling with emotion. "You are the sunshine that brightens up my day, the calm in every storm, and the safe haven where I can always find peace. I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy, and I promise to always be there for you, no matter what." Oddly enough, my heart went out to Tristan and I felt a pang of guilt for what I was about to do."Tristan, I...I don't know what to say," I stammered, trying to find the right words."Say yes," Tristan urged, his eyes shining with hope. "Say yes, and let's start a new life together. You deserve so much better than what you have now. You deserve to be loved, cherished, and adored, and I promise to do just that."I took a deep breath and let it out slowly. I knew that I had to be honest with Tristan, no matter how much it hur

I watched as my dad left on the morning of the fourth day. He was given a room to stay so he could spend some days with me. I called Vitali and thanked him for letting my dad come over. I hadn’t talked to my dad face-to-face in months and it meant a lot to me that Vitali finally considered me. Though I would have loved to go visit him instead, I missed my old home and environment but I was grateful that I at least got to see my dad. I told him everything, I had cried like a baby in his arms last night. I told him of the abuse and everything I had faced in the past and I also told him that Vitali and I were getting closer now. He didn’t seem convinced but he let it be because deep down both of us knew that there wasn’t much we could do. He told me that he was trying to save up half of Vitali’s money and set me free after 6 months but I didn’t think that would happen. Five hundred thousand U.S dollars wasn’t a small amount of money and I knew that even in two years, my dad wouldn’
