All Chapters of 365 Days As The Mafia's Bride : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

KAITLYN Nikolai's eyes lock with my wide eyes when Ryan drops the bombshell. My heart is racing wildly and now I can't get the words of that man out of my head. Now I fear that they really took Ana. “Hold on, Ryan, I'll dig around and call you back,” he says and the line disconnects. He gets up, pulls up his pants, and grabs his coat to leave. “I'll come with you,” I jerk up in a trembling voice He pauses and looks at me, his brows furrowing. His eyes scream that this is a terrible idea. “No, you can't,” he shakes his head. My heart skips a beat and pain floods into my body. “I might be able to help. I know who took her!” I snap. He stops and spins around, his eyes darkening. “What do you mean?” He asks. I stand up and walk towards him, rubbing my knuckles to reduce my anxiety. “The bald man must have taken her when she came looking for me. She didn't think it was safe for me to go, and I promised I would call her if anything went wrong. But when I called her in the restro

I watch him as he eats silently at the dining table. We are back at his mansion after successful attempts to contact Ana's father.I've never met her father before or heard a thing about him. I didn't even know he was still alive.It's quite surprising that Ana is hiding a lot from me and that includes her brothers’ knowledge about the Mafia.I wonder what else she is hiding from me. I sigh and shake my head. Well, I hope she is found because she has a lot of explaining to do.“You won't be leaving the house on your own anymore,” Nikolai mutters and I look up at him, my brows furrowing.I want to argue with him but I know I can't. I can't even go out on my own without the fear of getting abducted again.“Is he… dead?” I mutter as that man, Edward, pops into my mind.He stops eating and looks up at me, his eyes dimming.“Are you sure he is dead?” I ask, my eyes raising to look straight into his.He huffs and dumps the napkin on the table, his lips twitching.“Giovanni will be raving ri

NIKOLAI “Welcome, Don Nikolai!” The men guarding the hallways greet me as I walk past them into the meeting hall. The hall suddenly grows silent the moment I step into it. All heads turn in my direction and different emotions paint the faces of the men sitting around the table. Giovanni has fear lurking in his eyes when I look up in his direction. I smile at him, trying to suppress the rage eating deep into me. I swear I'll kill that bastard when this meeting is over and Marcell's daughter returns. The patrón is here too, as he should. He is staring at me with a deep frown on his face. I can tell he is burning with rage seeing me there. Every man in the hall is older than me and has been in the underworld long before I joined them. Most of them were born in this world, raised in the ways of leaders, and had thrones and titles passed down to them. Unlike them, I came in out of nowhere and built my empire and business from scratch. And that is why they hate me and wish that I s

KAITLYN The car slows and stops in front of the driveway.I pull my shades off and get out of the car then walk briskly to the front door of the apartment. I swerve my head left and right, my heart racing.I take a deep breath and place soft knocks on the door, three times as Jesse instructed.I take a step back and hold my breath as I wait for a response. The place is as silent as a graveyard and there are no signs of anyone being in the house.The garden is overgrown with weeds, and the paint on the walls is peeling off. The blinds inside are down and look dusty. Even the windows are closed and the porch looks like no one has ever been on it for a long time.I hear sudden, brisk footsteps from inside and feel my heart stop for a few seconds.The knob suddenly twists and the door slowly pulls open. No one shows up at the door when it opens and this is getting my heart racing.Should I turn around and leave? What if this is a trap?I shake my head, battling with fear and trust.No on

KAITLYN I keep thinking about what happened between Jesse and me in that house. He can't believe he tried to choke me! I remember he told me that he didn't care if his brother slept with me but now that assurance seems like a joke. A fucking joke. I sigh and rub my red neck. My throat is still burning and sore from all that choking. “Ma'am, we have arrived,” the driver says. I pull out of the reverie I am in and sit up, adjusting the scarf around my neck. “I'll be back,” I instruct him and get out of the car. The moment I step out, a guard ushers me to the door. He is wearing a tailored yellow shirt over black trouser and he is wearing a large smile on his face. “Miss Lopez is waiting inside,” he says as he waves his hand towards the door. “Thank you,” I force a smile back and turn for the door. I grab the knob and turn it then walk into the room as the door pulls open. The scent of lavender hovering in the silent air hits me and I freeze I look around the living room, m
