All Chapters of Under the Mafia King's Rule: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I wheezed and coughed. Even her father blinked at her.Lynnie sat in her chair, waiting expectantly for her father to give her an answer.“What's wrong with Hilda?” He diverted, clearing his throat.“She's not as pretty as Giselle.” Okay that's not true now hunny.Her father blinked again, unsure of what to say and how to end this conversation.I cleared my throat, turning to Lynnie.“Hunny that's not how marriage works.” I told her softly and she tilted her pretty head in confusion and I decided to change tactics.“Marriage is between two people who love and care for each other.” I said even though it was a big lie.It wasn't the truth about marriage anymore. People married for all sorts of reasons this days, some reasonable, others not so.I could feel her father drilling holes into the side of my head but I was too afraid to look in his direction.Maybe I said something wrong or stupid.Lynnie's face frowned. “Like daddy loves me?” She turned to her father this time. Her little han

My breath caught in my throat at the reminder. The carefree look on Lynnie's grandfather's face wiped off immediately. He stared at me like I was a terrorist. I took one frightened step back. He was even more intimidating than his son. Nana turned her eyes to the lady who just spoke. “Drop it Kylie.” She bit out before turning to her husband. The same moment Lynnie's father stepped forward. “That's been sorted out. She's Lynnie's nanny.” He spoke, his voice like like he was putting a seal on my case to emphasize how really sorted it was. He and his father glared at each other in silence for a while, almost like a war for power just happened without us knowing. “How's the deal with the Bianchi's going?” His father suddenly asked him, breaking the silence. “Well.” He answered vaguely and the older man eyed him. “We need to seal it as soon as possible son, it's causing too much noise.” His father and he nodded tightly. Lynnie's father stepped forward to place a kiss to the cheek

The force of the shattering glass sent us flying onto the floor. I shielded Lynnie with my body. My eyes snapped back up. Three of our men covered Lynnie and I from the upcoming gunfire. The full and lively room from moments ago was now filled with screaming families, running towards safety. I crawled against the floor, shattered glasses piercing into my arm. I gritted my teeth. I crawled low on the floor until I hid behind one of the aisles. When I was save enough with Lynnie in my arms. I looked down at her and my heart went cold. “Lynnie?” I screamed, the chaos outside drowning my screams. She was knocked out cold. I searched all over her to find no blood or injuries. My pressed against her neck. It still pulsed. She was alive but my worry didn't ease. One of our men headed towards me. He picked me up and I let out a cry but we didn't have time to waste. He gently held my arm and led me through door I didn't notice in the ice cream parlor. Two other men followe

The back of my eyes burned with unshed tears. I wanted to tell myself that I just misheard her. It sounded like the most beautiful uncomfortable music to my ears. I couldn't go back to sleep anymore. I'd had enough of it already. I just laid there staring at little Lynnie sleep. I laid in that position for an hour until voices filled my ears. The door to the room was pushed open and an always organized and neat Avery walked in the room in quick strides looking dishelved and worried, her husband not too far behind her. The air in the room switched the second he walked in. Avery's eyes zeroed in on me and then to her grandbaby cuddled up beside me. She hurried towards us looking like she was about to break into tears. “Oh dear Lord." She whispered. “I'm so sorry." My lips parted in surprise when she bent down to place a kiss on my head first and the she brushed Lynnie's hair out of her face and performed the same action. Her worried eyes moved back up to me. She scanned my ruine

I shifted uncomfortably at Kylie's words. “Kylie." Her mother nudged from beside her. “She did something you'd have never been able to do if you were in her shoes." Avery bit at her child and my unease grew further. “I was trained to use a gun mom." Kylie mumbled. “Have you ever been out in the field?" Hilda blinked, her face scrunching up in horror. "But I was trained anyway, just in case.” Kylie threw her shoulders up. “You’ve both been raised shielded, you wouldn't even know what to do in a life or death situation alone without help.” The man on Hilda's side spoke. Hilda turned to him with a half glare. “You wouldn't even know the horrors of our world if it stared you in the face." He added. His eyes directly looking into my eyes. I looked away from him, unable to stand his stare any longer. “She just did something you should have done Hilda, little Lynnie is your future step daughter afterall." The other older man spoke and Hilda's smile vanished instantly. Her body went st
