Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Mafia's Slave: Claimed By My Stepbrother: Kabanata 181 - Kabanata 190

KEITHI arranged all the papers I had been working on for a really long time into my briefcase. I didn’t know how much longer I would be there, but I didn’t think I would return until I was certain that I had fixed what was wrong.Saint couldn’t be trusted anymore.Jackie was taking too much time in giving me some useful information that I might need. Thankfully, Mia was well enough now to go anywhere with me. Instead of being away from her and having to worry my head about her, I would rather take her everywhere.Cain returned a while later.“I have packed up all you will need, boss,” Cain said.He just reminded me of Mia referring to me as “boss” mockingly, and I almost chuckled. As much as I hated to make her upset, she looked cute when she was…and arousing. That was why I couldn't resist kissing her like that. Fuck, I almost took her right there in my car. It took every ounce of self-control I could find to prevent me from doing that. Mia knew just how to infuriate me and arouse m

JACKIEI arrived at Keith’s mansion at about 9:00pm with a smile on my face.Arriving at night was intentional. This way, Keith wouldn’t be able to ask me to leave. He would have to wait until morning, and with the determination I came with, I wouldn’t leave without getting any of it done.Since I couldn’t get Keith’s reaction over the phone, I would achieve that physically. Not that I couldn’t handle Saint all by myself, but I didn’t want him to run his mouth to Keith, and also, I wanted to deal with Saint by creating enmity between them. Keith already had his doubts, and it would be my honor to clear them.More importantly, I also needed to do something about Mia once and for all.“I have let this carry on for way too long,” I muttered to myself.There was no one else that would be able to carry out the assignment more than me. I lost the first opportunity I had to permanently get Mia out of the way, but this time around, I wouldn’t.“Good evening, Miss Jackie,” Cain said, standing

JACKIE Athena’s revelation was already what I suspected, but just hearing her say it still made me shocked.“And you know this, how?” I asked her.Athena didn’t respond immediately, and I wasn’t pleased. I didn’t like it when people didn’t respond to questions I asked them immediately. She was now going to make me treat her the way I treated Mia’s mother. They always complied when force had been applied. However, I was relieved that she directly pointed at Keith. It was a good thing that she had no idea it was me. That way, I would be able to get what I wanted to get through her.I walked up to her and stared at her.“I hate being ignored,” I told her warningly.“I shouldn’t have said anything,” Athena said in a low voice as though she just realized that she shouldn’t have said what she said. “You are an acquaintance of Mr. Keith, and all this will go right back to him,” she added.“Look at me,” I told her.Athena managed to do as I had instructed her, and I ensured that she felt the

MIAI woke up with a little drowsiness in my head again, but I shook it off.I was taking my medications religiously, including the one I took last night before sleeping. However, I had noticed recently that the drowsiness started occurring lately, which had never occurred before now.“It only shows that you are on your way to healing fully. I don’t think you should bother the doctor about something as minor as that, especially as it is for good,” Athena had told me when I complained about it to her. She was a nurse, and I did believe her.I woke up feeling better after shaking off the drowsiness. Then I got up and freshened up. We arrived late last night, and after Keith showed me to a room I would be sleeping in, I fell asleep almost immediately.“This room is next to Jackie’s,” Keith had informed me.I was worried about how and where I was going to sleep. The thought of sharing a bed with Keith, which hadn’t happened before, scared and thrilled me at the same time, and I couldn’t

MIATommy and I became fast friends. He was friendly and accommodating, and even though I was very reserved at first, I soon became free in his presence.I thought that I was terrible at making friends because I never kept in contact with the ones I met in college, but after being friends with Athena and now, Tommy, I had to tell myself that friends weren’t really hard to make.I was just simply consumed by the responsibilities that were imposed on me by my mum.“Where is this place?” I asked Tommy as he showed me around.Aside from the fact that it was very big, it was also serene and beautiful. There was just something about it that made me feel very much at ease, so much so that I didn’t think about anything else than just being here. “It’s called the Institute,” Tommy answered.“Huh?” I was confused for a bit. “I know it’s owned by Keith, but what do you all do here?” I asked.Tommy looked a little bit both amused and amazed.“What?” I asked in confusion.“You call the boss by hi
