The Mafia's Slave: Claimed By My Stepbrother のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 141 - チャプター 150

JACKIE“Keith, hello, are you there?” I asked frantically. “Keith, is everything okay? What is going on?” I asked further, but then I realized that he had ended the call.Shit.According to what I heard his bodyguard say through the phone, Mia’s nurse had taken something that was meant for Mia, and she could be dead. Even without being present there, I could tell the haste with which Keith hurried to Mia. I was also certain that he didn’t give a shit about that nurse. The only reason he was acting the way he did was because Mia had been mentioned.Keith had a certain sense of urgency towards Mia and it was upsetting to see, but then again, he was doing too much for her already, and that was only because he had fallen in love with her.Then I instantly recalled that Tessa had told me that she kept a cup of coffee in Mia’s room and left it there, hoping that Mia would drink it and die. If this lady said she was poisoned, she was probably right because she was a goddamn nurse!Shit.Tess

KEITHThe moment Mia mentioned Tessa, my anger doubled.“Send for Tessa,” I instructed angrily.The bodyguard informed another close bodyguard who was nearby because he knew that he would have to stand by.I knew just what I smelled in that coffee, and it wasn’t the regular aroma that a coffee would have, and I wondered why someone as professional as Athena would drink it. She was not only a therapist, but also a nurse, so why couldn’t she spot the oddness? As a man who has way too many enemies and fought enemies all the time, I always had to be careful. A lot of people didn’t know this, including Saint and Jackie, but I always sniffed my food and drinks before consuming, including water. This was one thing I learned along the way that I never divulged to anyone.Years back, when Von Quavo was training me to become a full-blooded Mafia after adopting me, he had revealed this lifesaving secret to me. I hadn’t taken it seriously until he had taken me for a small banquet.It consisted o

JACKIEI paced about worriedly, almost going in sane.“Shit. Shit. Shit,” I declared angrily.My heart was beating rapidly, and there was fear inside of me.I couldn’t tell if Tessa had done what she was supposed to do. I knew I had her by the neck, but still, I couldn’t exactly tell. Worse, I couldn’t call her back. What if Keith was sanctioning them all and asking questions? If that was the case and Tessa was still alive, I was completely fucked. It had been easy to get Tessa wrapped around my fingers all this time because I knew her deepest secret which she wouldn’t have wanted Keith to know about.About ten years ago, a woman in her late twenties had been known for women trafficking. Each time I thought of her, I realized that Madeline Dmitrii was nothing compared to her. She was worse. She took young girls and sold them to whoever and for whatever purpose. I had found out about her when I was in training as a female Mafia.“She is bloody,” I had been told.“How do you know this

KEITHI didn’t stay by Cain’s bed because that wasn’t what a man like myself should be doing. Granted, I would have willingly done it for Mia if I could, but it wasn’t the same thing, and Cain would also understand.However, I ensured that I kept checking on him, including right now even though it was a little late.I couldn’t sleep. I was restless, thinking and worrying about Julian. Aside from the word “dead” that Cain had mentioned when he arrived before collapsing, I hadn’t heard anything else, and it was making me worried sick.Cain was given first aid, but I already called for the doctor, who assured me that he was going to be here as early as possible in the morning.I entered the room that Cain was kept in for the sixth time in that day just to check up on him one last time before going to bed, although I doubted that I would be able to catch some sleep; what if Julian didn’t die and Terrace had heard of the conspiracy? Of course, he wouldn’t call me to find out if it was tru

KEITHI didn’t get to sleep because I couldn’t sleep, and so by morning, I was already up and waiting.Thankfully, the doctor arrived really early.“You are here,” I said with relief.“Of course,” he responded. “Who am I looking at first?” He asked.“Mia,” I responded.We both went to Mia’s healing room together, but when we arrived there, Athena was in the bathroom. As long as the doctor wasn’t here for her, I wasn’t bothered.“Good morning, doctor,” Mia greeted him cheerily.Her smile was so genuine, and it warmed my heart to see her looking happy. Remembering last night and how delicate and soft she had felt in my arms, I made another promise right there and then to protect her with everything inside of me.“Good morning, Mia,” the doctor responded. “I can see that you are sitting up already,” he observed.“She actually walked last night,” I chipped in, and I caught a blush stain on Mia’s cheeks.I was certain that she remembered our brief moment in her new library just the way I d
