All Chapters of Tangled by lies : Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

~116~ChiaraSomething was wrong at the Conti mansion. Utterly wrong. Have we been invaded? Since I would be late to reach the mansion on foot and there was no car around. I ran to the stable instead. I didn’t even know what I was thinking coming here. My heart was drumming in my chest. I flung the gate open and ran inside. I stopped on my track when I realized what I was about to do. I haven’t ridden a horse for a while. And it was because I couldn’t. I stared at Queen, trembling, panting. I gripped the sides of my jeans. “Fuck!” Why was I panicking now? I had to go and help Celia. She was in trouble.I wiped my tears roughly and opened the stall with my shaky hand. Breathing as though there was no tomorrow. I held Queen’s reins and ushered her outside. Each step I took was heavier than boulders.“Okay.” I clenched my hands, tears streaming down. “All I have to do is climb. Yes, I have to climb her.” I eyeid Queen, raised my foot to the stirrup and my hand gripping the saddle. The m

~118~CarmeloJunior and I stormed inside the mansion and found our family alive. I took a deep breath and hugged each one of them after inspecting their bodies. They were unharmed. I didn’t know what would’ve been of me if anything happened to them. The house was a big mess, like a massacre ground. I made a quick call for a doctor and shoved the phone back in my pocket.I had millions of questions and as time kept going without finding any answers, rage kept smearing inside me. Who dared to hire assassins to kill my family? How did they get past our security defenses? Why are they all dead because I wanted them alive just so I could unalive them myself? First thing first, the footage.“It was Chiara. She saved us.” Mama blurted, making my feet halt. My head whipped around to her. She placed down a glass of water that Junior had brought for her. Celia nodded, still crying. “I was with her.” The wounded Black added. I walked back to them, “Tell me everything.” We sat down on the ruins.

~119 part II~ChiaraAfter a while, he washed the blood off my body and wrapped a band aid on my shoulder. He carried me to the room and placed me on the bed, in a towel. He wrapped me in a bed cover. “I’ll go and call the doctor again” He uttered and was about to leave but I held his wrist.I felt like time stopped as my heart thundered in my ears. He looked down at our hands and then at my face. “Stay. Please.” I whimpered and didn’t give a fuck that I did. He regarded me with his frown and then peeled my hand off his wrist. I fisted my hands preparing myself for his painful remark. But then he went to grab a chair and came to sit a few inches away from me.My heart skipped a beat when our eyes held before he focused on his phone. The corners of my lips lifted. He didn’t leave. And even if there was so much distance between us… I could work with this. He talked to the doctor and then hung up. We silently looked at each other. I had a lot of things to say to him. But I was afraid tha

~121 part I~ChiaraIt’s been three days. Three days since the two brothers left to get Enzo. Three days since I last touched him. I missed him. I was worried to death. And there was nothing I could do about it. Their phones weren’t reachable either. So I was just sitting at the balcony every night waiting while I guarded the gates with the telescope as though I was a freaking gatekeeper.The doctor had been coming regularly to check out my wound. Every morning and evening, without missing even a second. My hand played with the ring on my finger. “He has to be okay.” I whispered. I gazed up at the stars. Something that I’d found comfort in recently. I sighed, recalling that I had a business meeting with Lia soon. I grabbed the empty cup of coffee and sauntered inside.I had just come out of the kitchen when the doors flew open and the man I’d been dying to see stood in between them. Breath rushed out of my lungs, my heart drumming. I scanned him from head to toes as he strolled in. He

~122 part I~ CarmeloI wanted to kill Antonio. I was sure of that much.The house was all cleaned up already. Celia had been traumatized and couldn’t leave her bedroom. Mama spent her time with her there since the accident. I felt angered that my little sister wouldn’t see our house the same ever again. But when I recalled Enzo’s wide eyes while I slit his throat, the anger got doused a little. Bullets were a mercy for him. We had a bloodbath war with his gang for three days. Only a few of them were lucky enough to escape, leaving their boss to die in our hands.“How is your wound?” Papa climbed downstairs, one hand in his pocket and the other holding two bottles of beer in between his fingers. “It’s fine.” It was nowhere near fine. While fighting, that bastard, Enzo, sliced me. “Walk with me,” Papa walked ahead of me to the exit.I followed him to the lawn. A wooden table in the middle and two chairs on either side, that’s where we settled down. I adjusted myself carefully not to tr
