Accidentally Carrying The Don's Heir のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Leonardo's POV.I took her along so I could impress that shitbag Italian capo. Something I rarely indulged myself in. But I needed a swift deal and transaction of weapons from him and from my sources, he liked to be impressed.Instead I was embarrassed. While in the Exclusive lounge of the casino club, I boasted about my wife. How beautiful and smart she was. Only for us to end the meeting and not find her where I left her.That was the beginning of my rage.I found a silly excuse to delay Giovanni and his men while Grayson tried her number. But she didn't pick up. It was later discovered that she had left her phone in the club.Grayson also tried calling that bastard of a driver. He also wasn't picking up. I was pissed, beyond pissed. I was furious. Giovanni was beginning to throw small insults at me. I had to curb the urge to send a bullet in his fat skull.When all attempts to reach my so-called wife failed, I had to come up with a silly alibi for Giovanni. Again, something I didn'

Lexi's POV.“Ma'am, dinner is ready.” The old man, who had told me he was Leonardo's butler, said as I opened the door. I nodded once and told him I would be down a bit before shutting the door.I sighed, scratching my hair roughly. I went back to my bed, where each wads of cash I had received from Leonardo earlier that day laid.Two million dollars. I made sure to count them thoroughly. Now, what to do with it.Leonardo had left the house hours ago and was yet to return. At least, I have not seen any vehicles driving in since he left.I made use of the space to think about my debts to Luca. Mother's treatment bills plus Dad's debts. Those were what I had to pay Luca back. Fortunately, they were not up to the money I got from Leonardo. So I'd have enough to pay Dad's hospital bills and rent a small apartment for them in the outskirts of the city. And perhaps, hire a few lower grade bodyguards and nannies.But the question was, would Luca leave my life alone even after paying up the de

Lexi's POV"If it isn't the future Lady of the Morano Mafia group!" Luca exclaimed, his arms spread widely. "Boo!!!" The other men echoed, their voices reverberating through the walls.I rolled my eyes as I walked in with newfound confidence. Let's get this over with."Like I said," I said, slamming the bag on the table before him, "I have your money!"Luca glanced at the bag with an unimpressed expression. He rested his back and folded his arms. A smirk formed on his lips as he spoke."Well, I'm not surprised you were able to fetch this sum of money in such a short while. Given your background, I'm sure going to extreme lengths to get what you want is a tradition." Luca said, a cheeky smile on his lips.Gosh, how I hated it when he did that!"It's a way of life," I remarked."Hmm," he sat up, "Why don't you sit down and tell me something...?""I'm not sitting! Take your damn money and leave me alone!" I half-yelled, gritting my teeth and fisting my hands.An instant gunshot echoed, s

Lexi's POVThe car pulled up in front of a grandiose white building. I peeped through the car window, taking in the magnificent lights that lit up the palace-like building.There was no doubt this Mr. Russo guy was just as wealthy as the Moranos, maybe even more."Are you getting down or not?" Leonardo asked in a grumpy tone.I muttered an apology as I fumbled through my handbag.My side of the door was opened, and I alighted the vehicle.There were numbers of vehicles lined up in the same place Leonardo's limo was parked.I gripped my bag, fighting off the anxiety that was setting in."I can do this," I muttered and exhaled."Don't forget what Grayson told you," Leonardo's voice broke into my mind.I nodded without facing him.He started moving, and I followed.As we walked side by side, I glanced at his right arm before sliding mine around his.I felt him stiffen, and his gaze was on me."You told me to put on a good act," I quickly explained.Luckily, I felt his arm relax a bit, an

Lexi's POV.My face grew pale, my heart stopped as my eyes remained on the lifeless body lying just right there.“Le…Leo?” I muttered, my lips quivered and my hands trembled. All my focus seemed to be centered on him, everyone else zoomed out.Oh no! Was he…“Hey!” I flinched as a hand grabbed my arm roughly. My heart leaped and for a brief second, I thought I was next.But when I looked up and saw the familiar face of my husband, relief flooded my heart. He was alive…what a delight!“But…” I muttered, wondering who was lying dead on the ground. I looked at the body that still laid there, with nobody seeming to care. They were all busy running around, trying to find the exit.“Lexi!” Leonardo yelled out my name again, pushing me, with my shoulder down. “You need to get out of here!” He said in an urgent tone. “Come on!” Then he pulled my arm and dragged me through the crowd of panicked folks.“Keep your head low!” He said and I bent as low as I could get as we rushed towards the exit
