Lahat ng Kabanata ng Bound To The Mafia Don: Kabanata 101 - Kabanata 110

FLORAThe first thing I felt was the annoying beeping sound that wouldn't just stop. My head felt like someone had used it as a punching bag, and my throat was so dry that it hurt to swallow. When I tried to open my eyes, the bright lights made everything blur together somehow."Hey, take it slow," a familiar voice said from somewhere beside me.I blinked a couple of times until everything slowly came into focus. I was in a hospital room, connected to different machines with tubes. The smell of disinfectant made my stomach turn, but that really wasn't what made me panic."The baby," I whispered, and my hand immediately rushed to rub on my stomach. "Is the baby okay?""The baby is fine," Marcus said, and that's when I realized he was the one sitting in the chair next to my bed. "They checked everything. Thankfully, you're both healthy."I stared at him, trying to make sense of what I was seeing. The last thing I remembered was that basement, and as the gas filled the room, Marcus had r

FLORAAgent Harrison sat down in the chair and opened his notepad, but instead of looking like he was about to start an interrogation, he actually looked kind of relaxed. It looked almost like he had been expecting this."You know what's funny?" he said, clicking his pen. "I already knew you were alive."Marcus went completely still. "What?" he questioned. "We've been tracking you for the past eight hours. Ever since our men found evidence that someone had used that tunnel recently,” Harrison replied. He looked at Marcus like he was studying him. "It took us a while to figure out it was you, but once we did, it wasn't too hard to follow the trail."I felt my heart sink. If they had been tracking him, then this whole conversation was pointless. They were going to arrest him no matter what I said."So why aren't you arresting me?" Marcus asked."Because I think we can help each other out." Harrison leaned back in his chair. "You see, Antonio's organization didn't die with him. There ar

FLORAThe second Agent Harrison finished talking about Torrino Vega, Dante tried to jump out of bed toward Marcus. I had never seen him move so fast, especially since he had just gotten out of surgery."You set this up!" he yelled while trying to rip the IV out of his arm. "This is all part of your plan!""Dante, no!" I grabbed his shoulders, trying to push him back down. The nurse rushed over to help me, but Dante was stronger than both of us even in his condition."Sir, you're going to tear your stitches!" the nurse said, grabbing his other arm.Marcus moved back but he didn't leave the room. "Dante, I swear to you, I had nothing to do with this.""Bullshit! First, you work with Antonio, and now his guy makes a move the same day you make a deal with the FBI? That's not a coincidence!""You're right, it's not a coincidence," Marcus said. He stayed calm even though Dante looked like he wanted to kill him. "Torrino probably heard about the explosion and figured it was his chance to tak

FLORAI was dozing in the chair next to Dante's bed when I heard a familiar voice in the hallway. My eyes immediately flew open and I sat up straight when I recognized my mother's voice talking to one of the nurses."She's in room 314," the nurse was saying. "But visiting hours are almost over.""I understand. I just need to see my daughter,” my mother replied.The door opened and my mom walked in, looking worried and tired. She was carrying a small bag and had that expression she always got when she was trying not to panic about something."Mom?" I stood up carefully, still feeling a little dizzy from everything that had happened. "What are you doing here?""Agent Harrison called me. He said you were in the hospital." She dropped her bag and hugged me tightly. "Are you okay? Is the baby okay?""We're both fine. Just a little shaken up." I hugged her back, feeling like a little kid again. "You didn't have to come all the way here.""Of course I did. You're my daughter." She let go of

FLORAMarcus came back three hours later looking like he had seen a ghost. His face was pale and his hands were shaking slightly as he lit a cigarette."Well?" Dante asked before Marcus even sat down."I found her." Marcus took a long drag of his cigarette. "She’s being held in an abandoned meat packing factory on the South Side of Chicago. The place is called Petrov Industries.""How sure are you?" Salvatore asked from his wheelchair. The doctors had finally convinced him to use one after he nearly collapsed earlier."Sure enough to bet Sofia's life on it." Marcus stubbed out his cigarette. "I talked to three different people who all pointed to the same location. Sal Petrov runs operations out of there when he's in town.""Sal Petrov," Dante repeated the name as if it tasted like shit. "The bastard. He runs the Chicago crew now that his old man is dead.""Exactly. And from what I hear, he's really determined to take over the Romano Empire especially since Antonio owes him." Marcus pu
