Semua Bab Mafia Lords: On Knees Begging For Her Forgiveness : Bab 31 - Bab 40

MilaMy heart pounded violently against my ribs the moment Ricardo's car pulled up in front of the main entrance of Veleno Nightclub, but I refused to show any trace of weakness or fear. I had to face this with a heart of steel.Ricardo stared at me through the rearview mirror with a reassuring smile. He didn't say he believed me, but the fact that he came with me meant a lot to me. The three of us—Mama, Ricardo, and I—got out of the vehicle, and Ricardo tossed his keys to a guard, who went straight to park the car.Mama held my cold hand and smiled at me tenderly, saying, “Are you nervous?”Ricardo placed his hands on my shoulders and said in a serious tone, “You’re not required to do this, Mila. Don't justify things to anyone if you're not ready yet.”I shook my head and replied with determination, “No, I’m fine.”Once the guards at the main entrance door saw us, they stiffened and stared at Ricardo’s face with bewildered expressions, their hands hovering over their waistbands, but

I couldn't remember how I drove Mia Madre and Mila to her place and sped off to the Sottosopra. I was blinded by rage, slamming the accelerator until the needle on the speedometer jumped up past 90 miles an hour in a 40 zone. Traffic lights meant nothing to me as the video kept replaying over and over in the back of my head.Mila’s smile. Her ponytails. The way Luca used to do her hair when she was little. Everything replayed in my mind like a tormenting film.I slammed the steering wheel with my palms and screamed, “How could you do this to her, Luca?”I weaved past cars across the road at a reckless speed followed by the two black vehicles of my guards. I heard nothing in my way but the blaring of car horns all around me.I screeched to a stop in front of the Sottosopra main entrance with a loud roar of the engine and tires shrieking as the smoke billowed from the violent friction against the asphalt. All the guards and passersby turned their heads toward me, their expressions froze

Luca"Stop!" she hissed, trying to draw her hand out of my grip."What do you think you're doing? Everybody is watching." From the vibrant tone of her voice, I could tell she was messed up.I was messed up too; because of my stupid brothers and now because of that scene.My f*cking brothers were up to something. I knew that. The strange behavior of Ricardo and how Marco was avoiding my gaze told me everything.I tightened my grip as I hated the feeling of knowing they were doing something behind my back. But I had locked their f*cking asses in a cell, and they wouldn't get out until they confessed."You're hurting me," Mila whispered, and I loosened my grip immediately. Her eyes welled up with tears, and that made my heart tighten even more. I wished I could take her to an isolated island and lock her there to keep her safe.Despite the whispers and the gazes focused on us, I kept dragging her behind me. I didn't know what was going on inside that useless muscle called a heart, but i

Chapter 031Mila “You look stunning, baby girl,” Mama said, tears welling in her eyes. “Lorenzo is a good man. He will respect you and treat you well.”Her words didn't move me. I didn't want a man who would just treat me well. I wanted a man who would set my body on fire. Who would keep my heart alive. But that man didn't want me. He literally handed me over to another male.After a soft knock, my room door swung open and the maid stepped inside. “Miss, Mr. Castellano wants to see you,” she said.Mama and I exchanged a surprised glance. I raised an eyebrow then said coolly, “Let him in.” My mind was occupied with why Luca didn't say anything after that night of passion.‘Didn’t you say it was just one night? That it didn't mean anything? Just sex! So why are you asking for more now?’ my inner voice mocked.“Oh, this is a bad omen, dear,” Aunt Miranda sneered, rolling her blue eyes. Sometimes, I feel this woman is the devil herself. She feeds off my pain and misery.I sneered back an

LucaI believed everyone had an addiction. A dark obsession.And mine was her. Mila.And fck for that. Fck.I just wished this addiction wouldn't destroy us both.She had sneaked under my skin for years. The moment I thought I’d gotten rid of my feelings for her—ready to make her pay for letting another man f*ck her—I brought her back only to fall for her harder than before.I opened and shut the lighter in a repetitive static click, reflecting my inner conflict.“You know the consequences of what you’ve done last night, don’t you?” Ricardo snapped, his eyes shimmering with fury.I breathed out a cloud of smoke as I leaned back in my seat, fixed my eyes on him, and asked,“Despite the huge mistake she made four years ago, I let her through my walls willingly.But you—do you know the consequences of doing something behind my back? Or do you think I’d just forget it?”“Did she really make the mistake, Luca? Are you sure of that?” he asked, staring back at me.I could see that she’d alre
