Semua Bab Sinful Vows: The Mafia's Unholy Union : Bab 11 - Bab 20

Chapter 10GuiliaI dared to peep through the keyhole and even though there was very little space for me to make out anything, I could see Alessio heading for our room. He was coming for me.It had been six days since that conversation, the one that transformed my life. Once again, I was being held captive. Only this time my captor was my fiance. I was reminded that all Made men were the same, none better than the other, apart from Vladimir who had already given me trust issues. However, he would never make me this miserable, at least not to the point of wishing for access to a tall window so I could throw myself off it and end it all.As soon as I heard the keys clunking and clicking in the keyhole, I turned and ran for the bed and collapsed on it, earning a wince from Dalian. The doorknob twisted and my stomach twisted right along with it, and when the door was pushed open, I could swear I wanted to drag Dalian and disappear through the walls of the bedroom. A crooked smile was p

Chapter 12Vladimir Saying those harsh words to her while tears threatened to spill from her eyes seemed like the most inhumane thing I’d ever done in my life. As I walked past her and headed to the attic where I’d intended to have a drink and clear all the fog in my head, her sniffles trailed behind me, increasing my guilt.“Vladimir,” she croaked, but I had nothing to say to her for now.She didn’t just dash my hopes, she toyed with my emotions and made me look stupid. Even though I had done the same in the past, I didn’t expect her to take her revenge to a greater level. But a greater part of me was asking, was this really revenge? My phone vibrated in my pocket and I brought it out, wishing that whoever was calling wouldn’t aggravate my anger. I pressed the phone to my ear without checking the caller ID. “Hello, what’s the problem?” I asked coldly.“That’s no proper way to speak to your Capo.” Dmitri’s voice came on the line.I heaved a tired sigh. “Look, I’m sorry…”“There’s n

Chapter 14Guilia My eyelids fluttered open the moment the minute-hand of the clock ticked six am. I had a restless night, one filled with endless tossing and frustrated sighing while the images of Alessio harassing me in front of my father saturated my dreams. It was scary, and sadly, I had no one to run to for succour. I’d accused Ariel for betraying me and after finding out the truth, I was too ashamed to face her, and Vladimir had made it clear that nothing would make him look my way again.My lips stretched in a loud yawn as I got up wearily, lacking the energy to interact with anyone, but Dalian had to eat.I sauntered toward the kitchen and just before getting to the door I discovered that the light was on. My interest was piqued as it was quite strange to find the kitchen light on by this time of the morning. The cook usually came around seven to prepare a light breakfast for the family, Ariel was most likely to be in bed with her husband and I could swear that Vladimir didn’

Chapter 16Vladimir “So, what are we doing here?” I grunted, my question more of an outburst of irritance than an interrogation.The old man seated before me across his desk in this old club snorted, increasing my annoyance. He probably didn’t know that I was here to end his life. If he knew, he’d be trembling before me, begging me to be lenient with his punishment and it made me wonder if these people just wanted to be obnoxious or they felt too strong to be able to take care of their issues.I was already pissed that I had to take a break from my outing with Guilia and our son. Yes, I was happy that she had come to the park with us and pleaded persistently when I’d insisted that she shouldn’t come with us even though I’d acted nonchalantly. Currently, I was mad over two things: one, my bonding session with them had ended and the other one that annoyed me to the core was the memory of her laughing, brandishing her complete set of immaculate dentition to another man she knew nothing

Chapter 18GuiliaI struggled hard not to shiver as we entered Alessio's house. All through the drive here, he was silent and cold, and another thing I noticed was that he never kept his eyes off me.Not knowing what to make of his unnerving silence, I decided that keeping to myself was the better option as I’d presumed he had a lot in store for me. A wave of gloominess hit me as he shut the door behind us. This place was nothing different from my father’s, and even the bright paintings on the walls and pillars couldn’t add warmth to the drab atmosphere of his home.Caught up with the little sightseeing I’d engaged myself in, I became oblivious to the things happening around me that I didn't know when he got so close to me.“Are you hungry?” I heard him gruff behind me and my body stiffened.His palm slightly brushed the small of my back and slowly he trailed his fingers to my shoulder which he squeezed lightly. “Didn’t you get my question? Are you hungry?” He reiterated and I could s
