Semua Bab Mafia Lords: On Knees Begging For Her Forgiveness : Bab 51 - Bab 60

Three weeks had passed since that night with Luca. After that night, he changed. He seemed distant.The intimacy between us vanished. Every time I initiated, he just hugged me, kissed me passionately, then took a step back, saying we should wait.When I asked him why, all he said was, “There’s something important I have to tell you first… at the right time.”Then, he stopped visiting me. I tried to call him several times back then, but every time, his butler answered, telling me that he was busy.I decided to go to the company during the day and the club at night to be able to see him, but his guards didn’t allow me.He must’ve known I was trying to see him, because I didn’t go anywhere without his guards.However, the only time I met him was at the mansion when I went there early in the morning, deliberately just to see him.But my inner instinct was right. He was avoiding me—because once he saw me, he brushed a small cold kiss on my cheek and said he was busy… and left, even without

Nadia showed me my office. It was more feminine than I expected—large space filled with heavy and expensive furniture softened by subtle touches. Floor-to-ceiling windows dominated the off-white walls, with block-light curtains pulled open to reveal the fast-moving show of the city from the fiftieth floor.“Mr. Frederick suggested that we hold a party to introduce you as the official heiress to Antonio’s properties and companies,” Nadia said as she pulled out the chair for me.I smiled. “Good.”I should be happy to inherit all this power. The freedom I always dreamed of, but I wasn't. Part of me wasn't that excited.“Tomorrow, if you’re free. The sooner the better,” she suggested as she turned on the laptop on my desk.I felt like if I was a young girl on her first day at school. But I had to steady myself. May be I wasn't happy, but I wanted to be stronger. I was done with the broken, weak version of me—the version everyone stepped on.I love you… Always remember that.I remembered h

MilaThe silence that followed that call made me wonder if Luca had decided to move on. My new guards followed me to my apartment—which I discovered was in a building entirely owned by Russetti properties.I was the only heiress not only to my father’s wealth but also to that of his uncle Fredreck. Fredreck was the only brother to my father’s father, and I ended up being the sole official heiress to it all.The Russetti wealth was equal to the Haydens in value, but not in power or influence.I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I barely recognized myself. The makeup artist and hairstylist had done a brilliant job, highlighting my features in a way I never did myself. The soft, innocent face I was used to seeing had disappeared, replaced with strong, cat-like smoky eyes and blood-red lipstick that contrasted sharply with my flawless skin.The designer, too, had created this special parrot-pink gown to reflect the cold and commanding boss I was expected to be. It hugged my body like

Mila“I always hear about the Russettis’ women’s beauty, but I never realized they would be this stunning,” the green-eyed man murmured with a wide smile.He was impossibly handsome. All sharp lines softened by an easy charm. His tailored suit clung perfectly to his broad frame, the dark fabric setting off his striking eyes. There was something disarming in his manner, so different from the heavy shadows that usually cloaked this world.I shook his hand. “Thank you…”“Adams. Call me Adams Smith,” he said smoothly, his lips brushing a gallant kiss over the back of my hand.Heat crawled up my cheeks, though my gaze drifted instinctively toward the far side of the ballroom where the three Hayden brothers stood. Grim reapers in tuxedos. Their sharp eyes locked on us, unreadable, yet searing through my skin.Straightening my back, I forced a wide smile. “Thank you, Mr. Smith. I prefer we keep formality, for now.”He placed a hand over his chest in mock injury. “Cruel. You shoot me through

Mila“Hello everyone!...” A loud sound coming from the hall caught our attention.“Thank you for accepting our invitation….” continued the sound through the microphone.“We gathered you all here today to introduce you to the beautiful Miss Russetti, the legal heiress of the Russetti empire. From now on, she will be the head of the economical affairs of the Russetti Group,” Uncle Frederick finished.“I guess I have to go,” I said, pushing Adams slightly on his chest. He didn’t move though, he kept staring at my face. Then, suddenly, he took a step aside and said, “A man needs willpower to keep his eyes off you.”I didn’t say anything, I just turned to leave.Why do I keep attracting toxic and dark men?“Mila?” Uncle Frederick called through the microphone as he scanned the hall with his eyes.Once he spotted me coming out of the balcony, he waved at me with his hand as he chuckled, “Come here, Russetti princess.”All eyes fixed on me as I walked through the crowd. Some offered their sm
