บททั้งหมดของ The Mafia Lord's Deadly Obsession : บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

ALESSIA'S POVI woke up with a slight yawn, tangled in the sheets and hearing some noises in the background as they sounded urgent and angry. For a moment, I lay there in the tangled sheets, my body still humming with the memory of last night. Leo's hands on my skin, his mouth claiming every inch of me, the way he'd made me surrender completely. It had been everything I'd needed, everything I'd craved during those two weeks of cold silence.So I had thought maybe…just maybe ... .we'd returned to the normal same couple weeks we were pretending to be.But the harsh voices in the living room told a different story.I pushed myself up, wincing slightly at the pleasant ache between my thighs, and reached for the silk robe draped over the chair. The fabric clung against my skin as I tied it around my waist and paddle barefoot toward the commotion."—can't just storm in there without a plan, boss. They'll be expecting retaliation and you're not even prepared for that.""I don't give a damn

ALESSIA'S POVI paced the living room like a caged animal, my mind was racing with worry about Leo. Where was he? What was he doing and was he even safe?I almost reached for my phone to call his sister about their mother, but stopped myself just in time as I realised she was the main culprit in all of this, the one who'd captured Leo and accused him of killing their mother who was suddenly, miraculously alive."Gosh!" I muttered, running my hands through my hair. "Everything about this family confuses the fuck out of me."I was about to lose my mind when my phone rang and without thinking, without checking the caller ID, I snatched it up and answered."Hello?""Hi, Alessia." The voice on the other end was smooth and almost pleasant. "It's so disappointing that I'm the only one who misses you. Why is that? Didn't Leo tell you to at least check up on me once in a while?"My blood turned to ice. I knew that voice. I would recognize it anywhere in my nightmare "Viktor," I gasped, then i

Leo's POVI was still reeling from the entire fucking situation.Alessia was bound to a chair as the rope burns already blooming on her delicate wrists with a gun pressed to her temple.My wife was about to meet her demise because she couldn't stay put like I'd told her to.What if I hadn't driven like an absolute maniac through those city streets? iBut the image of Alessia's body slumped in that chair, lifeless, those fire-bright eyes dimmed forever—The man who'd held the gun to her head was still standing there, swaying slightly, eyes vacant and bloodshot. Drugged, probably. Or worse—conditioned. "Nobody points a gun at my wife and lives to talk about it.""Leo, please no! Don't hurt him"Alessia's scream cut through the warehouse like a blade. She lunged forward against the ropes still binding her to the chair, and the desperation in her voice made me pause. "Please," she choked out, voice breaking on the word. "Please don't touch him. That's my father."I stared at the man again

Leo's POVI knew I was crossing boundaries by involving Viktor 's little brother—the one he'd hidden away in some godforsaken orphanage like a dirty secret. But Viktor had crossed boundaries first when he torched my club. When he put a gun to my wife's head and when he threatened to kill Alessia and forced me to hand over the white book like some pathetic, neutered dog.So fuck boundaries and Fuck rules. Fuck everything Viktor thought he knew about power.The first time Viktor mentioned having a foster brother, back when we were still in games, still pretending to be allies instead of enemies circling each other like sharks….something hadn't added up. The way his jaw tightened when he said it.So I'd started digging and started visiting the boy in secret, bringing him books and food, slowly earning his trust. And when Ronan finally opened up, when he told me the truth about how Viktor murdered his parents in cold blood to steal their fortune, I knew I'd found my weapon.There was

Alessia's POVI'd been restless since Leo left, pacing the enormous house like a caged animal.He'd told me to stay put and not do anything reckless, if I really wanted to show how remorseful I was for my earlier stupidity, I should just... wait. Be good and obedient but It was driving me absolutely insane.I tried cooking something I rarely did, thinking maybe I could surprise him with a home-cooked meal when he returned. But my hands shook as I chopped vegetables, replaying the warehouse scene over and over. My father's blank eyes. The gun pressed to my temple. Leo's face when he'd burst through those doors, raw with fear and fury.The knife clattered to the cutting board, and I pressed my palms against the cool marble counter, trying to breathe."Alessia?"I looked up to find Maria watching me with kind, knowing eyes. The housekeeper had been with Leo for years, and had probably seen more of his life than anyone else still breathing."It's okay," she said gently, moving to take ove
