All Chapters of Contracted to the Mafia Lord: The devil and His pet: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

~ LORENZO ~As I stepped out of the hospital, I got so many thoughts. Yesterday my mum spoke, so quietly, about how I should let her die instead of spending so much money, time and effort. “Sometimes, when one has lost hope to live, the healing process becomes slower, however, from what your mother is passing through, there's a low chance of survival,” Doctor Robert had said. Taking his glasses out to wipe a tear at the corner of his eyes.“No, she wasn't the one to die,” I whispered, pain evident in my voice.“But death doesn't work that way. Death doesn't look at status, deeds or wealth. It's an equalizer. That's why it's said to be the fairest thing.”His words were a double edge knife. Almost like he doesn't care. “How is it fair?” I felt a familiar pang in my chest, a dull throbbing that refused to go. The ache was a familiar nostalgia. It came like a wave —hard, uncared and direct. Same as when I had watched her husband, my father died.••• ••• •••“No, no, no.” I had moved m

~ MIA ANTHONY ~I held my phone, the new time table for the days of lectures before our final Exams stared back at me.I knew there was no rest. Just last week we had finished our test and a new calendar for lectures had been created this Sunday.I tossed my phone to the side of the bed, my heart heavy as I slowly remembered last night.After Luca and I had a minor fallout in the bathroom. Not quite sure what he was angry about, probably because of the imposed rule or the refusal to scrub his body. Whichever one, it was clearly affecting me.This was hard for me to accept but it was.I hugged my pillow, my eyes staring at the plain bed board as if it had answers to my questions.I stared back at my phone, again. There were no messages to say they'd been away for a week, and that I shouldn’t bother about their absence. No Infuriating calls — like usual — as Luca would have done, but a stupid notification of the timetable update.“Ah!” I screamed iñto the pillowI wasn't supposed to fe

~ LUCA VITIELLO ~ A loud sound from Charles’ phone on the table had disrupted the moment. I glanced towards it, my steps hesitant as I glared at the name displayed on the screen. My lips curved upward and a satisfying thought filled my mind. I finally picked the phone after another ring. “Hello,” the voice whispered. Silence. “Hello.” The voice spoke again, but I was too distracted, too satisfied, watching him cry, watching him as he twisted and turned and begged. “Charles?” “Charles,” the voice called again and a wide grin etched on my face as I walked to the only chair in the room. “Hello, little Mia,” I said, my voice low, enough to send a message. The other end was thick with silence and I imagined the shock written on her face. “Can't scream anymore?” I played with the small dagger from one of the boxes, twirling it swiftly, my gaze locked on the one man before me and many scenarios played out in my head of how the blade would look cute on his skin. “Luc

~ MIA ANTHONY ~Slowly, the phone finally slipped from my fingers and onto the bed. The tears poured freely against my cheeks.I tried to think but my head, it was like it was placed in a freezer; dormant, still and painful. I thought of calling the phone again but what use was it if Luca was with it? I tried to scream but my mouth was unable to form a sound, and my heart, they felt like it had gone through some surgical emergency without anesthesia. I held my head, feeling the bang.“Oh Luca!” How cruel could he be? How inhumane could his heart be? Charles was innocent for goddamn sake!Staring at my phone again, I thought of my parents — should I inform them? And my friends, how would they be of help?I hit my head on the wall, the fruitless thoughts of finding a way made my heart ache. I was useless. Charles would die because of me and I wouldn’t be able to do anything.Mia, you have just a few months to leave? I said to myself, like always, but it didn't calm me down, it didn't

~ MIA ANTHONY ~For a long while, this was the best sleep I have had. I can't remember the last time I slept this sound, this warmly. Luca had not been sleeping in the room and no matter how I masked my displeasure, I had always wished he would share the bed with me.His large arm over my shoulder had drawn me closely to himself when we were asleep. I traced my finger on his wide bicep, the large taunt of his abs felt therapeutic.“If you don't stop, I will take you again and I swear, this time, you won't be able to walk for your Exams.”I retrieved my hands almost immediately, but his palm covered mine before they could land on my side.Luca finally opened his eyes, his upper lashes kissing the ones beneath as he spoke groggily. “You’re always so smart when you're caught, huh.” He kissed my fingers.My body felt like it was placed on ice. This type of after sex behavior was new, different, and he didn't stop there. He went further to kiss my arm and I couldn't help the giggle that e
