Mafia's Forbidden Desires의 모든 챕터: 챕터 141 - 챕터 149

Valerie Thorne’s POV:One month passed.Watching our daughter every day filled me with a feeling I never knew existed.I had already had maternal feelings inside me when I got pregnant, but this was a different feeling now. We named her Reign. It was Raven’s choice, but I liked it. She would rule both our empires.With each passing day, she was getting more beautiful. She had the mix of both Raven and me. Although Raven was the strongest man I had ever seen, he was the most fragile when it came to holding our daughter.Every time he picked her, I couldn’t help but feel amused at the scene. The fierce Raven was on the verge of having sweat tickle on his forehead. He was scared now… if he moved slightly with careless, he was afraid it would harm our daughter. I tried telling him, it was alright… he could pick her up without struggle, but he wouldn’t listen.I even tried showing him how to hold her properly. The nurses also tried. Even Eliot and Jeremy once dared to demonstrate, but they

Valerie Thorne’s POV:It had been three days since Raven had left for Europe. He said it was for a private business meeting, and he would be back in a week's time.I watched Reign as she played with her toys in her crib.My phone rang some minutes later. I quickly picked it up, hoping it would be Raven’s, but then I saw the name on screen. Elvis. I paused. I hadn’t heard from him in months now. Only the text I got from him was from months ago, that he was going home.“Hello,” His voice came through the speaker. I could hear some music from his background. I guess he was out somewhere.“How are you, Elvis?” My voice broke as I asked.“I am good. I was worried about you,” He answered.“I am fine,” I said with a nod.He remained silent for some seconds. I watched Reign for another second, “I have a daughter now.”“Congratulations, Val,” He said after some seconds.I smiled to myself before I asked, “How is everything going there?”“It’s tiring here. Just dealing with lots of mess every d

Raven Blackwood’s POV:The restaurant owner didn’t come to the dock. My men tried to find him at his address or possible places, but it was like he vanished, or someone made him vanish.So here I was at the underground casino at night, which was hidden beneath an old warehouse near the harbor. From the outside, the building looked abandoned with broken windows and a rusted metal door. Anyone passing by would think it had been empty for years now. But the moment you step inside, everything changes.A narrow staircase was connected to the underground floor. Loud music was getting clearer with every step I took. The smell of alcohol, cigarettes and perfume filled my senses as I glanced around the view in front of my eyes. Bright neon lights flashed across the room. Several large tables were spread across the hall. Some people were playing cards, and some were drinking and laughing loudly. A couple of men were standing around the bar, discussing business in soft murmurs.Overall, the plac

The space inside was wide and as big as the casino floor, but far more chaotic. At the centre were white lights hung above a large fighting ring, surrounded by metal barricades.The crowd stood shoulder to shoulder, shouting, betting, and drinking. Some people sat on chairs, some people leaned against the railing, while other people waved cash in the air like it meant nothing.In the ring, two men were present. They didn’t look like they had rules or a referee present as they fought. Pure raw violence could be seen.I heard the crack even against the noise as the first person landed the punch hard on the second person.I didn’t react. I simply watched. Beside me, the young man grinned, clearly either enjoying my reaction or perhaps seeing I lacked reaction. He lightly spread his arms as he said casually, “Welcome to the real heart of this place.”I glanced at him, “Impressive.” I wasn’t impressed by the violence, but by how lawless they were. They had rules, but of their own.He smile

“Yes,” Jeremy answered, “Roy did.”I nodded, “Do as usual.”Jeremy nodded and turned to call Roy for further instructions. Meanwhile, I entered the backseat and pulled out my phone to call My Wife. As I glanced at the screen, I frowned. There was no network here.Did Nikos seriously put jammers here? I sighed. Looking at Jeremy in gestured to him to drive, and leaned back in my seat.It was already morning outside. My thoughts were filled with Valerie and Reign. I wonder how they were? And what were they doing? Although I had let Eliot handle the things back at home, I still couldn’t help but worry. I had to end the threat as soon as possible and go back to my family.Half an hour later, we arrived at our hotel. The first thing I did after reaching my suite was to video call Valerie.The bell had only rung for barely two seconds before she picked it up, and her exhausted face came into my view. What was wrong with her? I immediately straightened my back. This was not how I left her be
