All Chapters of HER ROYAL MAFIA : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

VINCENZO CASTILLOThe moment my eyes cracked open, a wave of pain punched through my body.It wasn’t just a sting, it was like my skin had been dragged across fire and left to blister. My muscles screamed with every breath, and my head throbbed like someone was hammering from the inside out.The air was hot and stale. The room was barely lit, the shadows clinging to the walls like secrets.I tried to lift my arm,Nothing.Just a burning strain that pulled at my wrist.Sh*t!.I was tied down... To the bed.The pressure in my skull intensified, and just then,Memories came crashing in like a flood.Jeoffrey… screaming.Giulia’s eyes, wide and terrified.That moment. The night of the explosion.The way I shielded him. The way the heat swallowed us... And the world was going dark.How the hell was I alive?And more importantly, why the hell was I tied up?The door creaked open.A woman’s silhouette entered, tall and curvy, the sharp click of heels cutting through the silence like a warnin

VINCENZO CASTILLOThe door creaked open.A girl stepped in, balancing a tray in her hands, her gaze fixed everywhere but on me. She moved swiftly, kneeling beside the bed I was still tied to like some science experiment. My eyes followed her, but she didn’t glance back. Her silence was louder than her footsteps.D*mn!. Another day had passed. Still no sign of the girl with the familiar voice.She carefully dipped a cotton ball into a clear liquid and pulled out a pair of scissors. I just watched her.“Hey,” I rasped, my voice low but clear.She finally looked at me briefly, then returned to her tray, placing the damp cotton directly on my burn near the shoulder.“Ah—sh*t! Hey, easy! "That hurts!” I flinched hard.Her lips twitched.Wow... She snickered. Well, she wasn’t mute after all.“What’s your name?” I asked, watching her as she casually picked up the scissors again. No answer. Just a frown as she clipped away dead skin with too much enthusiasm.“Ahi!—Cazzo!... I’m not made of wo

LIAM RYDERI stared at the seven aging men seated in front of me, the same men I’d nearly sold my soul to win over. I’d racked up over a hundred million naira in debt just to secure the CEO position and gain their loyalty. Now, they had the audacity to tell me there was still one more person; a majority shareholder, whose favor I need to win?Were they joking?I sacrificed everything for these wrinkled puppets, and now they want to string me along because they know I’m vulnerable?Especially at this critical moment when the company is about to crumble..."Mr. Liam," Thompson spoke first. Of course, it had to be him, Camilla’s former lapdog. Betrayal came naturally to men like him. Greedy, spineless, slippery and cunning.“Just yesterday, the market stats dropped. Share values are plunging. If you don’t comply, we risk losing our major shareholder. You can’t let that happen,” he said, his voice flat like he wasn’t personally invested.I rubbed my face, biting down the rage, and met his

LORENZO VINCENTThe moment I stared into her eyes, I couldn’t think straight anymore. The evidence was real, she was definitely hiding something. But damn, just when I thought I could finally get the truth, my heart kicked up with a storm of questions.Was I the one overthinking things? Or was she really hiding something from me?Her memory, of course, is still a little fuzzy. I’m happy she remembers me, and she just suddenly flipped into a different version of herself. I wanted it to last… to remain that way.But fu*k, the old me can’t take the fact that I’m being played.My eyes glared at her like I could hurt her, but deep down, I couldn’t even lay a finger on her, not even a single strand of her damp hair.“Call her now!” I said, still pushing for answers.If I didn’t convince myself now, I’d keep living with this doubt inside me.She hesitated, then slowly dialed the last contact.It didn’t take a second before the customer care line spoke:“The number you are calling is not reac

LIAM RYDERI killed the engine, but I didn't move out of the car, yet. A sigh escaped my mouth while my hands still rested on the wheel, the weight of tomorrow's meeting with the so-called investor pressing on my chest like a stone.Just as I opened the door, my phone buzzed in my pocket.It was Giulia again.I stared at the screen for a brief second, wondering why she was calling again. She'd called last night, randomly, but the line had gone dead by the time I called back. Now, here she was, calling again, same late hour.I debated for a moment. Finally, I picked it up. Her voice came out smooth and calm from the other end.“Hello, Liam.”I checked the screen again. I just wanted to be sure it was really her. And, yep, it was Giulia. She'd never called me by name like that. Not unless it was formal or businesslike. But, now? She said it like we shared something.“What is it you want?” I asked flatly.There was a short silence before she replied, her breath shaky.“Lorenz,” she said,
