All Chapters of Sold To The Ruthless Mafia Don: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Namiko’s POV Stone walls pressed in, damp and ancient, sealing me in with nothing but stale air and the echo of my own thoughts. Days had blurred into nights, and the shadows whispered accusations I couldn’t try to even fight. I hadn’t seen a map. I had never touched a locket. But it didn’t matter, no one cared for the truth when it came from the mouth of someone like me. A liar and a threat. The guards came at dusk. “His Majesty has granted your request,” one of them muttered, not looking at me. His nose wrinkled as if my presence offended him. I stood on legs that barely remembered how to work. My wrists throbbed where the shackles had bruised them. My feet dragged as they led me through the stone corridors, up and up until the scent of ash, pine, and storm met me like a blow to the chest. Less than an hour later, I was dragged back through the halls of the palace. Not chained, but not free either. The guards flanked me like I was a weapon ready to detonate. The thro

NAMIKO Pain exploded through my arm, white-hot and sharp. “Arrg!” I cried out as my body hit the forest ground. Leaves scattered beneath me as the world spun before my eyes. I clutched my wounded arm on impulse, trying to breathe through the agonizing ache. But I couldn't stay down, or whoever is trying to kill me would definitely succeed. I promised myself a life, and I can't lose that now. Ignoring the pain in my arm, I dug my fingers into the dirt and forced myself to move. “Get up, Namiko, come on. . .” My words came out in a desperate whimper. Tears burned the back of my eyes, but I sniffed them back, clenching my teeth as I gathered the last of my waning strength. My hands trembled violently, unable to assist me with my weight. I plunged back to the ground, face buried in the dirt for a few seconds. Raising my head, I spat out the dirt, breathing heavily. I tilted my head to glance behind me. The coast still seemed clear, but I couldn't dwell on that. Whoev

NAMIKO “Do you feel better now?” Annabeth asked, slowly retracting her hand from my wounded arm. It was now secured in a clean white piece of clothing mixed with a strange cold substance she had her daughter bring for her. “Yeah.” I nodded, passing her a small smile, “Thank you.” “Please don't thank me, Sloane. This was my fault, I should be apologizing for almost killing you.” My smile widened, recalling everything that had happened earlier, knowing this was a vast difference from what I had initially imagined would happen to me. “It wasn't your fault, according to your son, I am short and may actually look like an antelope.” I joked to lift the tension. “Oh please, the boy always has some excuse rolling up his sleeves. Pay him no heed and get some rest, I will fetch you a meal shortly,” she said, patting my shoulder lightly, before taking her leave. The tent fell silent, almost as though there weren't other tents right outside mine with people living

CASPIAN The door slammed against the wall with a violent crack as I stormed into my chambers. I kicked the nearest table, sending a vase crashing to the floor, and spreading shards of glass on the floor. I was boiling with rage, burning from the inside out with a fury I couldn’t control, couldn’t swallow. My hands shook, and my vision blurred. I had been deceived, so easily and stupidly. I punched the wall with brute force, and pain shot up my arm, but even that wasn’t enough. I wanted more. I wanted something to hurt enough to match the chaos ripping through my chest. I dragged a hand through my hair and cursed at myself. “foolish,” I muttered under my breath. “You are so damn stupid, Caspian.” How had I fallen for Ariana’s lies? How had I stood there, eyes and ears open, yet I still let myself be played like some inexperienced pup? And Namiko, the image of her face when I doubted her words seared through my mind like a blade. I squeezed my eyes shut, but the memo

CASPIAN I pulled the rein, bringing my horse to a halt at the exact spot where the guards gathered. “They found something of hers.” Astrid had revealed before leading me to the guards who found traces of Namiko in the woods. I hopped off my horse and passed the reins to the guard near me. “What did you find?” I asked, stepping forward. “We found her scent on this piece of clothing.” A guard stepped forward, placing the piece in my hand. I brought it to my nose and inhaled her scent like my life depended on it. It was her, it was the same, tangerines, with something warm and wild. “Have you tried picking up her scent anywhere further?” “Yes, Alpha, unfortunately, we found nothing. The wind must have washed off every other trace of her scent. But we don't plan to stop searching. I gritted my teeth, sulking in a deep breath. “Do everything you can to find her, and keep an eye out for Varek's cohorts. They can shape shift.” I turned, heading back to my horse. “Alpha Ca
