Semua Bab Mafia's Redemption: TERZO: Bab 61 - Bab 70

TERZOI rubbed my eyes as fatigue weighed heavily on me. I hadn’t slept in two days. I was exhausted, but looking down at the file and financial reports on my desk, I forced myself to work, burning midnight oil to review before I would see my father.I was still finding it hard to find my footing on being a married man, and knowing that our relationship wasn’t doing well. I did not regret my action today. All I wanted was to protect her, keep her at arm's length to keep her safe. What worried me the most was the silence coming from Francesco. His men hadn’t made a move, and it creeped me out. My gut was telling me that he was cooking up something. He was preparing his move. I knew he had something to do with how Deckard Humphries somehow knew who I was. “Oh fuck,” I cursed under my breath as I caught a movement on the monitor. I pressed the code to unlock the door, and my father and Alessio walked inside the house.I straightened in my chair before the door swung open. The moment my

TERZOMy wife truly hated me. She couldn’t look at me without the disgust on her face. But at least I knew she was safe. She would thank me later. Knowing she was a victim of all this nonsense made me want to protect her even more. Three SUVs and one sedan pulled out of the gate. Three more followed as a diversion as we headed towards the meeting place, a hotel with an underground casino and a private lounge. Dani stayed silent beside me as she turned her good wife mode on. She looked beautiful in a suit dress despite constantly scowling. She did not join us for breakfast earlier, so I told Marco to bring her food upstairs. We arrived ahead of time. Earlier, our security checked the entrance and the private lounge that served as the conference room. While patrons played in the casino, they were unaware of what was happening behind the wall.My father took a seat on a royal chair. I sat next to him on a long L-shaped lounge chair. Next to me was Dani. On top of a small table to my r

DANIMarco and Gio, with an automatic rifle, barged inside, which had me yelping.Gio gestured at Terzo. “We cleared the path, but I don’t know how many are there, and they are scattered in this building. Expect a reinforcement soon. You might need this.” He threw a rifle at Terzo and extra ammo. “Guys are waiting for you in the hallway.”“Girls? Magnus, let’s go.” Marco tipped his head.“Marco, please keep her safe.” Terzo’s words frightened me even more.“Yes, sir.”I turned to Terzo. My mind was in chaos, and I was terrified that he might get hurt or, worse, die. My throat cinched tight. “Be careful.”I didn’t expect him to hug me and kiss my forehead, and I almost cried at his gesture despite my stubbornness and how I treated him. I hugged him tight and realized he meant the world to me.“I’ll see you at home.”I nodded and looked at him one more time before I joined Celestina and Nicolette waiting for me.We made it to the hallway. The deafening silence was frightening. Our foots

DANI“Where the hell are they?” I paced in the living room, worried sick about Terzo and everyone with him. “What if—” I didn’t finish his words. Marco groaned. “God, I’m so selfish!” I ran and crossed the hallway towards his room. “Just press hard. The doctor is on the way,” Celestina said. Her hands were full of blood. I should be gagging right now, but I had to be strong because I knew I would see more often like this in the future.“He’s losing a lot of blood. What took that doctor so long?” Nicolette complained. “He has to change routes to avoid someone following him,” Celestina replied.I looked at Gio, facing the wall, his arm pressed against it. He wasn’t handling it too well, just like me. Considering Marco was his cousin and they were inseparable, I knew what it felt like.“Gio!” I called him to pull him out of his miserable riverie. “Find a first aid kit and bring the strongest alcohol you’ve got.” I had no experience with surgery, God, I was not even medical personnel, b

DANI“Dani, this is not the right time to see him. I told you he was here because I didn’t wanna lie to you. He is manipulative, remorseless, and a psychopath.”“You think he might get into my head?” I met his gaze. “Yeah. You’ve been in hell for the past weeks. You got in the crossfire. I want you to rest. He’s not going anywhere.”“Well, I’ve been in hell all my life.” I quickly shut my mouth. I didn’t want him asking questions, but he was smart. That was one thing I liked about him. He picked up quickly, and maybe it was a spy thing. Right now, I didn’t like the way he looked at me.“What do you mean?” His eyebrows furrowed.I rolled my eyes. “Don’t change the subject, Terzo. If you don’t want me to sneak out in the middle of the night, then let me talk to him.”“Why?” he insisted. “Why do you wanna face that man?”“Because I wanna see him eye-to-eye.”“You can’t mention anything that we talked about in my office. We haven’t proven yet, and he will tell you lies that I’m manipulat
