Ex and Son Beg, But I Never Turn Back의 모든 챕터: 챕터 241 - 챕터 250

Third Person POVMob boss Corloni took a long slow puff of his cigar, exhaling in a plume of thick smoke. The parlour was dimly lit, just the way Corloni liked it. He sank back into his velvet armchair, draping one arm over the back of it.Outside his door, three of his bodyguards stood watch, burly men with thick necks and muscular arms. Corloni fixed his eyes on Bruno, who was sitting across from him, a flickr of nervousness on his face.“So let me get this straight,” Corloni said, his voice thick and gravely from smoking too many cigars. “Your daughter kidnapped the girlfriend of the man who’s trying to get back the winery that we need for our…endeavors?” Corloni waved his hand in the air.Bruno, stifling a cough, paused before replying. He had only been inside Corloni’s private parlour several times, and each time had been a casual meeting. This time felt different. There was tension in the air.“Yes,” Bruno said. “My daughter reacted irrationally when she found out that the girl w

Luigi’s POV“Just call her, sweetheart.” My mom was sitting across from me at the dining room table, nibbling on a fresh fruit platter. I’d been surprised when she made her way down to the dining room, freshly showered, her silk robe wrapped around her frail body.Over the past few days, my mother’s illness has turned around. She started to feel a lot better, and the gray tinge was gone from her face, replaced by the regular pinkish glow in her cheeks. She still wasn’t a hundred percent, but she was well enough to join me for breakfast. It was the first time she’d been out of bed since my father’s funeral.The maids set down a plate of eggs benedict, fresh croissants, and gave us each a cup of hot steaming espresso. My mother sipped it, her face in a frown.I’d filled my mother in on my fight with Willow, as well as the text message I’d received. My mother wasn’t disappointed that Willow had gone back to the United States. Rather, she seemed disappointed that I hadn’t gone with Willow.

Luigi’s POVI checked my phone every fifteen minutes or so, but Willow wasn’t getting back to me. By nightfall, I began to worry. It seemed strange that she wasn’t responding, even though the message said she’d read them.It wasn’t like Willow to not respond, and I had this nagging feeling that something was ‘off’. It was a feeling I couldn’t fully describe, like an instinct, but I did my best not to overact and give her some more time.It was shortly after dinner that I received the text from my butler that Enzo had returned home. Ensuring I had my phone in hand, I went directly to his bedroom and entered without knocking.He was undressing, and turned to me, frowning, wearing just his pants, his naked chest exposed.“It’s not polite to enter someone’s room without knocking,” he said sarcastically to me, reaching for his laundered shirt in his dresser. Turning his back to me, he slipped on his shirt.“Where have you been?” I asked him, coming into his room.He turned to me and cocked

Third Person POVClenching the steering wheel, Enzo tried to push away his disgruntled feeling. Luigi must really think he was an idiot, trying to bait him into confessing like that while he recorded the conversation.Luigi’s actions only served to solidify Enzo’s belief that Luigi and the entire family thought he was incapable of running the estate. They’d all dismissed him as a ‘play boy’ who shirked responsibility, and it had always been a sore spot for Enzo.Luigi thought Enzo had tampered with the will, and of course he had. He’d rewritten the will, bribed a public notary, and then snuck into his father’s room the night before he died. Enzo had lied to his father, who’d been groggy, claiming that he needed his father to sign off on a loan. Enzo fed him a ridiculous story about how he was going to start a new business, his own business so he could really prove himself. Enzo said he’d seen the error of his ways, and he wanted to make his father proud by becoming a success on his own

Third Person POVThe music was thumping from the top deck of the cruise ship, and Adonis and Jay, dressed in neon jumpsuits, were having the time of their lives.Since it was the final night of the cruise, Jay and Adonis had decided to go all in, taking full advantage of the cruise ship, booking in a day excursion, a spa treatment, a romantic dinner at the Greek restaurant, and then a night out at the dance.Which was why Adonis didn’t see the urgent messages from Luigi.The Bahamas cruise had been a long time dream of Adonis’, and after a long stint in the hospital, and a long recovery process at home, Jay had surprised Adonis with the one week cruise.Adonis had, of course, been worried about the company, since Willow was in Italy with Luigi’s family. But Willow had assured him that everything would be fine. It was only a week, and Willow felt that Adonis needed the break with Jay, so Jay and Adonis had set sail to fully enjoy the cruise.“This is the best time ever!” Adonis hollered
