All Chapters of Mafia's Forbidden Desires: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Valerie Thorne’s POV:“Who else?” he said with a rare soft smile.“But…” I tried to make sense of what he had said. That night, it was Raven? How could it be? He sat in front of me, sounding so true. But no matter how much I tried to remember what happened that night, who it was, I couldn’t remember anything at all. But on the other hand, if it wasn’t Raven that night, he wouldn’t be sitting so calmly here like that.So… It was Raven!It felt like a lot to process this truth.“When did you come back that day?” I asked slowly. I had to know everything about that day. I couldn’t just take half details and believe them.“I came around the night only, but I didn’t find you at home. Then I called Elvis. He told me you were at your friend’s birthday party.” Raven said in brief.Elvis? If what Raven was saying was true, then it all made sense.Then Raven frowned, “But you were heavily drunk that day. That’s why you forgot everything that happened.”I nodded, “If I were drunk, how could you h

Her words echoed in my mind for a long time. I kept my arm around her shoulder, feeling the warmth of her body against mine. Another moment later, I asked quietly, “What kind of dreams?”She turned her face slightly towards me. “Simple ones. I want to see places, different cultures, and live freely. I don’t want to live a life filled with bloodshed or constant danger.”I swallowed my breath, but made a note of it.The rest of the flight passed quietly. Valerie fell asleep again. I didn’t sleep. I never did on flights. My eyes looked at the darkness of the night outside. We were about to land in Las Vegas in five minutes. Valerie was still asleep. I didn’t feel like disturbing her sleep. So, after the wheels touched the runway smoothly, I just picked up Valerie in my arms and walked out of the jet.We were finally home.My men were already there. The moment they saw us, they formed a quiet shield around us as we walked to the car waiting for us.After I settled with Valerie in the back

“Sir, I found something,” Eliot’s voice came through the other end.“What’s it?” I asked.“There is a problem arising on the north shore. Someone from local gangs is messing with Madam’s territories,” Eliot said in one breath.“Eliminate them,” Taking a moment, I ordered.“Sir. They are receiving support from an anonymous source. I am afraid it wouldn’t be easy,” Eliot replied, “They are expanding recently.“Need I repeat myself?” My jaw clenched, “Find out their source immediately and eliminate them.”“I will get it done,” Eliot answered.Valerie Thorne’s POV:It took almost half a month to recover completely. For the whole time, Raven stayed by my side. I asked him to continue his work from the office, as it wasn’t convenient for him to work from home, but he wouldn’t listen. He stayed by my side, taking care of me.It was only a few days later that he was convinced, and he let me come to the office. But again, his condition lay… it was that he would accompany me. I didn’t need him

“It could be anyone else who entered your office while you were both absent. And Elvis looked troubled earlier, so… let’s not trouble him further.” Raven tried to reason.I thought about his words for a while before I nodded. “Fine. You can proceed with what you want.” If someone had really bugged this place, then it had to be found out.“Thank you for the trust, Wife.” He said and kissed me on the cheek.“Raven,” I turned my face to the side, “Behave.”“I am behaving,” He leaned back in his chair and looked like the most well-behaved person in this world. And there was no one like him.Raven Blackwood’s POV:Half an hour later, I dropped Valerie off at home as I still had work to complete. I didn’t want to leave her alone, but I was afraid she would be tired if she came with me.I watched Valerie walk inside. When the door was closed, only then did I start the car and drove away.The road to my office was rather empty at this hour. The city looked calm and careless, while everything

Valerie Thorne’s POV:I woke up before sunrise today. Not because of a bad dream, not because of anything else, but because of a presence I felt.His arm was around my waist, which made me feel hard to breathe. I stayed still for a while, just looking at the ceiling. The room was quiet.I turned my head slightly and looked at him. He looked calm, too calm, like he and violence had no connection with each other. His eyes were closed, they looked less intimidating. His dangerous aura was calm now, and he looked harmless.My fingers traced the curve of his face slowly, from his forehead to his eyes, to his lashes, to his cheeks, to his beard, then slowly over his lips. His skin was smooth under my touch. He stirred a little, making me pull back my hand instantly, but thankfully, he didn’t wake up. I relaxed a little.“You’re up, Wife?” He murmured in a deep voice.“You’re awake?” I was startled.He hummed and pulled me closer to him.“When… When did you wake up?” I asked in hesitation.“
