Lahat ng Kabanata ng Taken By A Dangerous Mafia Lord: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

Aiden’s POVI watched him stare at his father’s lifeless body, and honestly, I felt nothing.Most people would call it a cruel sight, but after what this family put Chandria through, a clean death was more than they deserved.I didn’t care about his grief. I didn’t care about his loss. I only cared about the debt that hadn’t been fully paid yet.“Are you just going to stand there? Face me, you coward!”I raised my arm, pointing the barrel of the gun directly at his forehead.My finger hovered over the trigger, the cold metal a familiar weight in my hand.I didn’t pull it—not yet.I wanted to see him break first.I watched his face. The fear was there, raw and unmistakable, but then it began to shift. It was a sickening cocktail of emotions—sadness and grief washing over him before being swallowed whole by a burning, white-hot rage.He looked up at me, his eyes bloodshot and wild.“You monster!” he screamed.He lunged at me with a desperate, animalistic energy. I expected the attack, b

Chandria’s POVAfter I had broken down in front of Daniel, sobbing until my throat felt raw and my chest felt empty, something shifted.The wall he had kept between us, that skeptical, distant look in his eyes like he was constantly trying to solve a puzzle he didn’t want to be holding, had finally crumbled.Daniel was patient.It was a quiet, heavy kind of patience that made my heart ache. He didn’t rush me. He held my hand firmly, his thumb occasionally grazing my knuckles in a way that felt grounded and real. When I struggled with the buttons of my dress, his hands were there, steady and sure, helping me get ready.“Where are we going?” I asked, my voice still a little raspy from crying.He looked down at me, and for the first time, his smile didn’t feel like a mask. It was soft, almost relieved. “Here,” he said simply.As we stepped out of the room, he didn’t let go of my hand.He led the way, our footsteps echoing against the polished floors.I tried to focus on the warmth of his

Aiden’s POVMy boots slammed against the concrete floor, the sound echoing like rapid gunfire down the narrow, dimly lit hallway.Beside me, Jason was practically sprinting, his breath coming in ragged, desperate gasps.We needed to get out of this fucking place.Any second, the walls around us were going to erupt into a fireball. If the charges blew while we were still trapped inside, we’d be vaporized. My mind fractured, spinning violently toward the one person who mattered.Chandria.I couldn’t die here. I still needed to see her, to hold her, to tell her I made it back. I couldn’t fathom a world where I never saw her face again, and that fear tasted like acid in the back of my throat.I glanced sideways at Jason, my chest heaving as we rounded a sharp corner. “Jason!” I yelled over the roaring adrenaline in my ears. “Is this the bomb we were planning to plant? Did something go wrong with the timer?”“It was supposed to be our play!” Jason shouted back, his face pale and slick with

Daniel’s POVI sat on the edge of the mattress, my chest tightening as I looked down at Chandria. She was completely still, her face pale against the white pillows. Slowly, I reached out, my fingers trembling slightly as I caressed her head, smoothing her hair away from her forehead.‘Please be okay,’ I thought, a desperate, frantic rhythm pounding in my veins. Just be okay.I couldn’t lose her now. Not when we were this close. I needed to be the very first thing she saw the exact moment she opened her eyes. I needed to anchor her to the life we were building, to the ring currently resting on her finger, before the ghosts of her past could drag her back into the dark.The heavy quiet of the room was shattered instantly as the bedroom door burst open, slamming hard against the wall.I jumped, swinging around in my seat. Chandria’s entire family filed into the room, their faces masks of sheer panic. Her brothers, Victor and Carlos, led the way, followed closely by her parents, Don Aureli

Chandria’s POVThey all stared at me as if I had suddenly grown five heads.They looked at me like they couldn’t possibly believe what had just slipped from my own mouth—especially Daniel.I blinked in surprise, shifting uncomfortably against the pillows. “Why are you all looking at me like that?” I asked, my voice sounding small and raspy in the quiet room.None of them answered right away. I pulled my knees slightly closer to my chest, my mind drifting back to the fragmented dream that had woken me up. The memory of it was still incredibly vivid. I could still see the man’s face, though his features were blurred around the edges. He had been looking at me, smiling with a warmth that felt like a physical blanket.I remembered his voice perfectly. It was a promise, heavy and deep.“I will protect you, Chandria. Even if it’s the last thing I can do. Even if it’s my last breath.”I could still feel the sheer conviction in his tone, the absolute genuineness of his words. It felt like he
