Semua Bab Contracted to the Mafia Lord: The devil and His pet: Bab 31 - Bab 40

~ MIA ANTHONY ~ In the room, no one spoke. I went to the bathroom while Luca headed back downstairs. Obviously, I needed a good reason as to why I was home. I wore a light purple mesh top paired with pink shorts and had prepared to go downstairs for lunch when I heard the light tap on my door. Opening the door, I saw Miss Betty with a large tray of food. “Hello Miss Betty," I said with a smile plastered on my face, but she wasn't smiling. Miss Betty walked her way into my room after rejecting my offer to collect the tray from her. "You don't have to bother to be too careful with me Miss Betty, you know that. I could’ve gotten the tray.” "I know, but you didn't look good when you came in and it was even more surprising how you came back from school with your husband, did he pick you up?” Miss Betty asked in a hushed tone. "Sorry for my curious questions" She added, in an apologetic tone as if realizing she might be prying. "No you don't have to be, I understand you were aski

~ MIA ANTHONY ~The next day, I woke up with a hangover. I looked to my side and found no one there. My eyes unintentionally drifted to the clock on the drawer —12: 09 am."Holy shit!" I quickly sat up from the bed, holding my head and then my phone rang."How are you feeling?"There was a long pause."I’m fine, just had a slight headache.”"I know, I instructed Betty to prepare a hangover soup for you, I will let them know you’re awake so you can have some.""Thank you, there's no need to. I could go downstairs myself but why didn't you wake me up, it's past twelve already and I sure have missed like two lecture periods.""I wasn't the one who wanted more drinks last night. Or was I?"A large sigh escaped my lips."I’ll see you when I get back," Luca said before going offline.Torn between still going to school or staying at home, I finally decided on the latter.Some days off school won't hurt. Besides, if I go to school now, my friends would ask about my disappearance after I'd l

~ MIA ANTHONY ~The semester test was around the corner with students reading and preparing. Same for me and my friends.I sighted Charles seated with Emily, a course mate. I had wanted to approach him and talk things out about last time. I didn't even know how he was faring all these while because he had been successful in dodging me.The last time I saw him closely was in a class we had together. I also spotted him several times but it was like each time I saw him, he tried to keep a distance from me. Also, I noticed he didn't look me in the eyes anymore, not like I wanted him to but at least, it would have been better than being snubbed. Still, I was bothered about what Luca must have done to him, and looking back, I hadn't remembered asking Luca about it or maybe it was because I knew Luca would not give me a good response especially when we got into a little argument about Charles.Looking at my friends who were engrossed in their books, I left them, heading towards Charles. Be

~ MIA ANTHONY ~ What was Luca up to? After getting comfortable on the car seat, Luca took the seat belt and carefully strapped it on me. I was still surprised by his gesture earlier and now this? Funny enough, I was tongue tied. I didn't know how or what to say or rather, ask what was going on. The ride out of the mansion started slowly with me glancing over Luca every now and then. I noticed he had been looking out of the window and my curiosity was eating the best of me. My earlier action came to mind and I wondered if he was going to answer if I asked. Finally, after mustering up enough courage, I asked. "Where are we going? "You will find out soon," was his curt reply. I wanted to explain what happened in school between Charles and I, in case Edwin relayed the wrong information. Somehow, I felt this outing had to do with that or maybe I was wrong but still... This unsettling feeling could only be calmed if I knew where we were going. "Luca, Please!" I pleaded. "What?" His

~ LUCA VITIELLO ~ I didn't know but the suggestion to take Mia to go her parents had been a rash and quick one, especially since I would have missed her going to her parents’ house if I hadn't been strategic enough to send a driver to go pick her and now I was seated with the one man whose pinky finger I had chopped off .“So how is the coffee business doing?” I asked Mr Hodor.Two months ago, I had been told by my boys — Sean, Marco and Stephano, who I assigned to secretly protect My wife's family, that Mr Hodor had been finding it difficult in his corporate work where he worked as a Data entry clerk, so I decided to step in.“I’m grateful, the business is doing well. You know the last time you asked, I told you I really wanted to venture into the coffee business because it was the last work my late wife did before she passed away, and it wasn't just about doing the work, it was her passion and she loved making different latte coffee designs.“So are you doing the business because i
