All Chapters of The Mafia Don's Secret : Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

CLARAMateo followed me out of the chapel and we walked side by side towards the house but he stopped abruptly as we got close.“What’s wrong?” I asked.“I have to go,” he replied.“But I thought the whole point of you being here today was because you didn’t have much to do,” I said. For some reason I couldn’t understand, I didn’t want him to leave.“Well, life is unpredictable and things come up when we least expect them to so I have to go,” he told me.I sighed. It’s not like I had the power to hold him here against his will anyway. “Okay, then.”“Tell my mother something came up so I can’t stay for lunch,” he said, already walking away so I didn’t have the chance to reply to him before he got to his car and drove off.I stood there until his car was out of sight before I headed towards the house.Walking into the dining room, I found Lily and Mrs. Antonia, already seated. She was cradling Ale to her chest and singing a lullaby to him.Hmmm… he must have woken up in my absence and I

MATEO“Would that be all?” I asked, handing Dominic the rest of the documents.“Yes, I think we’re good for now. I’ll let you know if there are any other documents that require your attention,” he replied.“God, this is fucking exhausting,” I said.Dominic smiled. “The cons of running a mafia empire but you love it and dare I say, you’re fucking good at it,” he said.Well, I fucking knew that already. Why else would I be waging war against, Renzetti?Still, it didn’t mean that I had to like it. Running this business involved jumping through so many hoops you won’t even believe.Not to talk of having a legitimate business to act as a cover. Then, I have to run the said, legit business while also handling my other not so legit business.“Let me know once the money has been cleaned and our taxes have been handled.”“I’m already on it,” Dominic said. “When do you think we would be needing another shipment?”“Let’s hold off on that for a while. Bruno is still not back from his trip but luc

CLARAAfter everything that happened earlier today, I had expected Mateo’s mom to ignore me because pissed was an understatement to describe how she felt or in this case, was currently feeling. To my surprise, she didn’t even going as far as moving me and Ale into her room because in her words, it was just another opportunity for her to bond with her grandchild, like she wasn’t doing enough of that already.I was also aware of the fact that Mateo was home but what I didn’t expect was him barging into his mother’s room.I couldn’t hide the shock from my face. Wasn’t he supposed to be with his girlfriend?“Don’t you know how to knock?” his mother asked. “I know this is your house but that doesn’t give you the right to barge into my room unannounced.”He didn’t respond to her slew of angry words. Instead, his eyes zeroed in on mine before he settled his gaze on me.“Can we talk?” he asked, not taking his eyes off me.“You can see that we’re busy. Why don’t you go back to your whore and

CLARAI froze in shock at Mrs. Antonia’s words. I knew she couldn’t stand, Alina, but that was the last thing I expected her to do, and it seemed I wasn’t the only one shocked by her.“That better not be me you’re referring to as trash,” Alina said to her.“You’re the only trashy person I can see here, and it pans out because it’s the trashy ones that refuse to admit that they actually are trashy,” Mrs. Antonia fired back. “I’ve had enough of your nonsense, and since my son has failed to handle you, I don’t mind doing the job for him. You’re not welcome here.”“If anyone is unwelcome here, it would be this nobody and her kid!” Alina screamed, pointing at me. “I’m going to be your daughter-in-law. You can’t treat me like this.”“I already have a daughter-in-law, and you’re looking at her. Even if she wasn’t in the picture, there’s no way my son would ever end up with someone like you because as annoyed as I am, I like to believe that I raised him right and he can discern good from evi

CLARAAfter Alina left, one of the housekeepers came over to clean up the mess she had made, and Christopher was gracious enough to fix me another plate.I tried to apologize to him for Alina’s behavior towards him but he looked at me as if I was the most ridiculous being on the planet for even doing that and told me I had nothing to apologize for.The atmosphere in the house changed and became lighter. Everyone, especially the staff had been walking on eggshells since yesterday and trying their best to avoid it, Alina and I didn’t blame them one bit because I was kind of guilty of the same.However, I was grateful that I didn’t have to deal with her again. The last thing I wanted was fight a woman over a man. A man whom I wasn’t sure how he really felt about me. It would be like pouring water in a basket and expecting it to get full, a wasted effort.Now that I had my son, the last thing I wanted to do was waste my time on things that aren’t worth it. Did I have feelings for, Mateo?
