All Chapters of Falling For The Enemy Mafia King : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

My father would come for me too. Maybe Luca can afford to hire a bunch of bodyguards, but they’ll be no match for my father and his men. I don’t want to put a target on Luca’s back. My father would hire someone to kill him. “Okay.” He sighs. “But you better not be lying about it. I was also at a point when I desperately needed help, but I kept refusing it. I thought it was better if I was just dead, and I didn’t believe anyone could truly help me. But I was wrong, and I didn’t realize it until it was almost too late.” I squeeze his hand. “I need you to know that you’re not alone, even if it seems like you are.” His eyes glisten as he stares deep into mine. “You’re not. I’m here for you. I’ll listen. I’m here for whatever you need.” “Thanks.” I almost choke on the word because tears are filling the corners of my eyes. Why does he have to be so nice? Why does his offer have to be so tempting? How am I going to tell him now that we’re never going to see each other again? “I wish I

I could lie to her. Find a way to lure her loved ones into my territory—if they’re not already here. I could give her an illusion of normalcy. Pretend I’m just a normal businessman with some really fierce competition. She wouldn’t even have to find out about my mafia business.Why am I so undecided? I want Aurora, so I should keep her. There are many ways to convince her to stay with me. Give her a little push so she’d agree. I’m used to doing whatever it takes to achieve my goals. Why is it different with her?Maybe because it’s not just about me. I care about her. Somehow, I care about her, even though I barely know her. It’s just something about her that makes me want to keep her safe at all costs. Makes me want to keepher.I sense someone approaching, and I see Theo. “I’ll be right back,” I say to Aurora and get to my feet.Theo’s forehead is creased, and I’m not sure if he’s surprised to see me like this—I’ve never been on a date, let alone a romantic one—or if something’s going

It can’t be—I freeze, my heart jumping into my throat.It’s not possible. What I’m thinking isn’t possible. I can’t be pregnant, can I? Luca and I used protection.I chew on the inside of my cheek as I start pacing up and down my room. My period is probably just late because I’m super stressed all the time. What with sneaking out, potential husbands, being locked up in my room... It all must’ve taken a toll on me.I’m not pregnant. I’m just not.I take a deep breath. But what if that’s why I’m feeling so off? What if the condom broke and we didn’t notice?There’s only one way to know for sure. I need Julia to get me a pregnancy test. Or two. Or three. Just to make sure the results aren’t wrong.But if I’m really pregnant...I don’t want to think about it. My father would kill me then for sure.* * *I stareat the three pregnancy tests in front of me. I barely got Julia to stop freaking out and buy the tests for me.Two lines=pregnant.I see six lines. All the tests are positive.I co

“I’ll be waiting to hear from you,” Cole says, and then the line goes dead.“That wentwell,” Theo says, pocketing his phone.“Actually, it did. Now we know for sure Marcello has a daughter.”All we had were rumors about a potential daughter, but Marcello kept spreading fake information about her, so we weren’t even sure if she existed. We still don’t know if he has any other children.“Yeah, but I know you. You don’t want to marry Cole’s daughter, and having him against us too... Marcello will basically be on our doorstep. Do you think the whole thing is a trap for Cole? He lets Marcello into his territory for the wedding. Marcello kills him and his son, and takes over.”I shake my head. “There’ll be guards at the wedding, and pulling something like that would make absolutely everyone leery of working with Marcello. No one would trust him after that, not even his current allies.”“Okay, so let’s say it’s not all a big lie and a trap. Why would Marcello want to marry off his daughter t

“What do you mean?” I tilt my head at her. “Good, how? He’s my family’s enemy! He hates us!” “But if he doesn’t know, he doesn’t know. You never told him your full name or anything about yourself, right?” “Well, yeah, but—” “You need someone who’ll protect you from your father and his men. Running away is difficult because you need a lot of money, and you need a good hiding place where you can’t be found. I can give you my lifetime’s savings, but I don’t think it’ll be enough. You can’t go alone either. Imagine your pregnancy on the run, and you can’t even go to a doctor when you need one. Even if you weren’t pregnant, it would be difficult. Like this, almost impossible. Luca is your answer.” “I still don’t get what you’re saying. Once Luca finds out who I am, all hell will break loose.” “Then make sure he doesn’t find out. Your father will be looking for you, but he definitely won’t expect to find you at Luca’s place.” “Um, wouldn’t that be the first place where he’d look? If I
