Semua Bab The Devil's Heir: Bab 71 - Bab 77

Jarek"Hey, little buddy. You ready to come home?" I ask my son as I lift him into my arms."He's been an angel like always," Heidi says, smiling at me."Thank the Lord our boy takes after his mama on that account," Fran mumbles loudly.I roll my eyes but ignore the woman, reminding myself that Lily loves the old bat. As soon as things were safe again, I had the two women moved back to their cottage at the back of the estate. This is where they prefer to watch Keirnan, and I'm okay with it, but the verbal abuse from Fran really gets to me sometimes. Luckily, I'm in a good mood at the moment, so I let it slide.I get that my uncle was a prick, but I'm sure I've proven many times over that I'm not my uncle. Instead of arguing with the older woman, I return Heidi's smile."Thanks again for watching the little guy, but please don't encourage Lily to leave without my knowledge. I can't keep her safe if I don't know where she's at.""Controlling motherfucker, that's what you are…" Fran mur

Jarek"What the fuck do you mean Rossi isn't in the country? You told me you had eyes on him!" I snarl at my informant."I thought it was Rossi, I swear! He looked exactly like him—"I end all of his excuses with one single shot to the forehead. This fucker took me away from my family for absolutely nothing. I don't trust people like him. He had one important job, and he fucked it up."Let's go," I tell Joey and Elliot."I don't like this, Jarek. Something isn't right," Joey states.I know he's right. I feel it in my bones, but we're almost four thousand miles away with an ocean between us and home. I don't know if the threat exists at home or somewhere here in Italy. I'm not about to take any chances, though."We're heading home ASAP."As soon as I say the words, Joey is on his phone, calling for the plane to be ready. We don't even stop at the hotel to grab our things; I'll send somebody to grab anything we may have left. We just want to get home.Once we're settled on the plane, I

JarekJust as we're approaching the entrance to the secret tunnel, my phone buzzes, and I open the message. I wish I hadn't because it's a picture of Lily, her top torn in half, while two motherfuckers hold her down on her knees beside an injured Jackson. At least, I hope he's only injured.Greco fucked up. He's given us their location, so now we know where to go. As much as I don't want anyone to see my pauper in her bra, I show my capos the picture so they know who to go for as soon as we get inside. Greco is mine, and Rossi, well, I'll let Joey handle him.As we near the hidden door to the front sitting room, I veer off to go to the small library just down the hallway. My men know not to show themselves until they hear my voice. I would like to come through the main door to the sitting room, if possible. I hope the only other men Greco and Rossi have inside the house are the two holding Lily.I approach the hidden door of the library and listen to see if I can hear any voices comin

EpilogueLilianaLife as a Mafia wife is not what I would have chosen for myself, but everything happens for a reason, or so I've been told. I can't complain much. Jarek has been an amazing husband, father, and protector all of these years. Don't get me wrong, he's still ruthless where it counts, and he runs the business with an iron fist, but the moment he walks through the front door, the Mafia Boss switches to loving father and husband.Eleven incredible years of marriage with the Devil himself, and I fall more in love with him every day. Of course, we have our ups and downs and our disagreements, but the making up is always inevitable—and my favorite part."Mom, I think I should come to this dinner party. I'm old enough to learn, I swear!" Kiernan nags as he follows me around my and Jarek's bedroom.I stop and turn to face my oldest, placing my hand on my protruding belly. "I know you think that honey, but you still have years of being a kid and enjoying life. I don't want you to
