All Chapters of Mafia's Forbidden Desires: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

She fell asleep after she had her sixth orgasm.I watched her lie in my arms, sleeping so peacefully.Her lips were still a little parted, her breathing soft and deep against my body. Her body was warm against mine, her skin was still slightly damp. She looked… calm and relaxed, like she had finally found a little peace.But I couldn’t feel peaceful.I stared at the ceiling, my hand still around her waist. Everything inside me felt tight and twisted. I had touched her, held her, felt every part of her like she belonged to me. But now that she was sleeping quietly and something in my chest ached.What if she wakes up and regrets this?What if she pushes me away?What if she thinks I took advantage of her?She had begged me. She had whispered my name, told me she wanted this. But a small part of me still wasn’t sure if it was really her… or the drug still running through her blood.I looked at her face. The way her long lashes rested on her cheeks, the way her lips twitched like she was

A few moments later, while Eliot and other guards focused on getting Victor’s body out of the warehouse, I walked outside and pulled out my phone. I took a pause, thinking about how to break this news to them.I sighed and dialed Elvis’s number. The bell rang for quite a while when he picked it up. “Hello.”“There is some bad news,” I said.Elvis, on the other end, paused. Seconds passed, and he still didn’t say anything.I waited quietly for the response, but it didn’t come. So, I continued. “It’s about Victor.”“What happened to him?” He immediately asked. His tone was urgent.“He’s gone.” My grip on the phone tightened as I replied.Elvis paused again on the other end. A few seconds later, he spoke in a low voice. “Gone, where?”“I said he is gone.” I gritted my teeth as I answered.“Are you kidding me?” Elvis spat his words, his tone was full of disbelief.“No. The funeral will be tomorrow. Come back, and bring her with you.” I said, and ended the call.The next day…The sky was g

She laughed. “I told him to get lost. Just like I told you.”She tried to walk toward the stairs, but she stumbled again. I caught her before she fell and broke something inside her.“Why do you keep doing that?” she said angrily. “Let me just fall!”“Because I’m not going to let you destroy yourself.”“You can’t stop me!”“Maybe not, but I’ll still try.”She shoved me hard and walked past me. “Don’t act like you care.”“I do care.” I nodded.“Liar!” she screamed. “You care about the business, about the will. That’s all. You didn’t care when he died. You didn’t cry. You didn’t even look sad!”I stayed quiet.She hit my chest again. “Say something! Say I am wrong!”“You’re not wrong,” I said. “I didn’t cry. But I felt it. I still do.”She dropped her hands on her sides and stood there, breathing heavily. She stared at me for a long moment. Then, her face crumbled, and tears fell from her cheeks like a waterfall. She dropped to her knees right there in the hallway, started sobbing into

Elvis got up and said as he looked at Raven and then at me. “I will be right outside.”I watched Elvis’s back as he left the room. I took a step to walk out as well, but then his strong hand held my arm and pulled me back to face him. His grip was tight around my skin, which made me wince in pain. “Let me go.” I shook my arm to release his grip.Raven inched closer to me, so close that I could feel his breath wash over my face.I met his gaze, refusing to let him tower over me, control me, or dominate me. “What the hell do you want, Raven?”“Don’t trust everyone blindly, Valerie,” He said.Raven spoke in a voice that almost made me believe he cared. But wasn’t he one of everyone? So, I calmly nodded my head. “Yes, I am not believing everyone.” My meaning clear, I would trust everyone or anyone but him.“Oh.” Raven raised his brows, and then two seconds later he laughed, like I said, a joke? Then he patted my head. “Good. You’re quick to learn!”I felt weird for some reason, feeling th

Rowan Blackwood POV:The morning sunshine filled the conference room, giving the place warm and cozy vibes.I casually reclined my chair, but my gaze was anything but relaxed.I watched Rowan sitting in his head seat, his expression cool and composed as he looked at me and Axel. But my gaze didn’t linger on him for long, as I turned my attention to Valerie, who was sitting on Rowan’s left. Her posture was straight, but I caught the uneasiness in her body that she was trying her best to mask. Though she had been working hard to keep her father’s business going, but she had struggled to get the same respect and things done that her father had.Axel was also seated to my left, and Valerie’s right chair remained silent. He looked rather relaxed and calm, but he was also the man who spoke less and acted more when it came to work.Right now, Valerie looked oblivious to the undercurrents passing through the room. She had been talking since the meeting began, her voice sounded like she was tr
