All Chapters of Mafia Lords: On Knees Begging For Her Forgiveness : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Even though the atmosphere somehow shifted in the car and the air became heavier, I gave Levi an encouraging smile to continue.“Mummy!” Angelo suddenly called from the back seat. “I need the bathroom.”I looked at Levi apologetically and said, “Sorry. I won’t be long.”Once I got out of the car and opened the back seat door, Levi’s calm voice followed, “Take your time. Angelo must be missing you. What if we go to dinner tomorrow all together? Then I could get to know Angelo better, and we could talk.”I agreed and headed inside.The mansion was calm and cold. Even though there was a full staff of maids, housekeepers, a chef, and a driver, the place felt empty. When I remembered the cold way my parents died, a shiver ran down my spine.“Welcome home, ma’am,” one of the maids said. “Would you like me to prepare dinner for you?” she asked once I sat on the sofa, waiting for Angelo to come out of the bathroom.“No, Lori,” I replied. “Just tell Mrs. Hong to make me some soothing herbal

When I pulled over to the side of the road at the location link Nadia had sent me, the smell hit me before the sight did. Burning metal, rubber, something sharp and choking that clawed down my throat.By the time I reached the scene, a crowd had already gathered. Firefighters and policemen moving through the chaos. I slammed the brakes, the tires screaming against the asphalt as my car lurched to a violent stop. My guards’ vehicle pulled up right behind me.My heart skipped a beat as I saw the flames curling into the darkening sky, licking at twisted metal.“No… no… no…” I gasped, flinging the car door open and jumping out before the engine even died.I pushed through the crowd, trying to reach the car while the police held people back. Firefighters moved around the burning wreck like shadows, shouting over the roar, hoses hissing, boots pounding against the ground.“Levi!” I shouted, but my voice was swallowed by the wailing sirens.Paolo and Enzo were right behind me. One of them

The tension was at its peak. All the guards were aiming their guns at each other. One single wrong move could cause a bloody massacre.“Lower your weapons,” Luca ordered his men. “We’re leaving.”As if his men didn’t believe their ears. Il Don… retreating that easily when guns were raised at him?He turned and left the room right away, not giving any chance for misunderstanding.His men followed behind, still aiming their guns at us until they exited the room.Enzo breathed in relief. “That was imminent.”Paolo looked at me and said, “If you weren’t with us…” He wiped the sweat forming on his forehead. “...Il Don would have doomed us.”“No one has ever raised a gun at Il Don and lived to tell about it,” Enzo chuckled, as if it were something rare—almost impossible.“Thank you, guys. You are truly trustworthy,” I said honestly.“This is our duty,” Enzo replied as we walked through the door, only to find Levi coming toward us. He told me that the police had come to take his statement a

[The lunch meeting with the shareholders is scheduled for tomorrow at 2:00 PM. Confirm the meeting?] A text message from Nadia chimed on my phone while I was playing with Angelo.[Confirm,] I typed right away.It had been four days since I declared the new market project to my managers. The time period for their submissions had passed, and none of them applied.The hell I cared.“What’s wrong?” Mama asked. “Is it work?”I tucked my phone back onto the side table and sighed. “Yeah, just work.” Then I resumed building cubes with Angelo.Even though she came to see us every day, cooked for us, and played with Angelo, she never brought up my pregnancy again. Not once.I thought she would press more, but she didn’t.“Stay with us tonight,” Angelo asked Mama when she kissed him and said she would leave.She pinched his cheek. “I would love to, darling. But your grandpa needs me,” she said, then looked at her diamond wristwatch. “It’s already late, and you have to sleep. You have kindergarte

I could confess this was the most stupid thing I had ever done in my life.It was a self-affirmation impulse.I wanted to let him know I was equal. Strong. Powerful. That I could fire without hesitation, even though my hands were shaking at that moment.I didn’t intend to kill him, though. I just wanted him to realize he could not order me around and expect me to obey like before. Not when he was the one who betrayed first.I was aiming at his leg, wanting him to feel pain.Why should I always be on the defensive? Feeling the pain alone? I could make him suffer too.But in that moment of blind rage, I forgot one thing. The most important thing.This. Was. Il Don.The moment you raise a gun at his face—you die.His men were trained to take down any possible threat, even if that threat was his own siblings or parents.That was how things worked in the Mafia world.When I raised the pistol, my hands shaking and my heart pounding, aiming it at Luca, I heard his panicked warning shout, “Mi
