All Chapters of Grimaldi's Blood and Vows: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

[PERCIVAL’S POV]I went to Basement 2 and entered one of the rooms. I immediately saw my uncles and even Dad, who were there. Jaxon West was with them. As I promised Dad, they would take care of Jaxon West.“Done with the other two, Pierce?” Uncle Armaan asked when he noticed me. Dad glanced at me but didn’t say anything.“Nope. I’ve got other plans, Uncle.”I saw Uncle Ezio carefully observing the tied-up Jaxon West. I could see the mix of anger and fear in Jaxon’s eyes.“Hi, Jaxy! Did you miss me? Because I missed you so fucking much. Excitement is crawling under my skin, and I want to chop your fucking head off.”As far as I know, Uncle Ezio was the one who tortured Jaxon before, but since Mom didn’t want him dead, it didn’t happen. I guess you could call this a rematch.“Get over it, Ezio.” Dad picked something up, and I noticed the familiar katana that belonged to my mother. He threw the sheath away, as if he was ready to use it to split someone in half. “If you still have plans

[PERCIVAL’S POV]In the following days, I spoke with Damiano. I found out that they had bought some supplies that didn’t make it to our warehouse. I couldn’t care less."Want to handle this mess right now?"I didn’t know the full details of my cousin's problem and I didn’t want to get involved. I was focused on how I was going to face Arietta, and knowing that I was slowly killing the woman she considered a mother made it hard for me to face her."Nah, I have a lot on my plate.""The Romanos are involved, and you still don’t want to handle it?"I froze at Damiano’s words and glanced at him. A triumphant smile appeared on his lips."We got some supplies from the Romanos, and they're worth 100 million pesos. Not a single item arrived at the warehouse, and we’re tracking them down now because of this." He took a deep breath. "My hands are kind of full right now because of Celeste, so I wanted to avoid dealing with this. And since this might pique your interest, I’m bringing it up with yo

[PERCIVAL’S POV]"Don't you dare say that, Arietta!" I didn't mean for my voice to sound like a threat, but that’s how it came out. I took a deep breath. "I'm not blaming you. It's not your fault. They’re not even your family. They just used you. You were a victim too."I leaned back and fell silent for a moment. I didn’t want to discuss this anymore because I could only see sadness and regret in her eyes. I didn’t want her to regret meeting me."Come here." I motioned with my finger. She looked at me, clearly confused by what I said. I tapped my lap, signaling where I wanted her to sit.I could clearly see her beautiful eyes widen at the idea of sitting on my lap."I don’t want to. Let’s talk properly.""We will talk properly. But not about the Wests, not right now. We have more important things to discuss. So come here, sweetheart."She still didn’t move closer. I scoffed. She’s still as stubborn as ever."What could be more important for us to talk about? I’m not coming to you. We

[ARIETTA’S POV]I noticed the shock in Vico’s eyes. He stared at Pierce for a long time, and I guess he finally saw the resemblance between my son and the man standing next to me."He's the father of my son, Vico. He’s here because we’re going to see Auriette now." I was tired of arguing with anyone. I just wanted a peaceful day. "If there’s something we really need to discuss, can it be another day?"Vico’s eyes narrowed as he looked at me. He’s been a good friend to me, but Pierce is right. If Vico were truly my friend, he wouldn’t let his friend disrespect me in front of him, but he just let it slide! He didn’t do anything, and if Pierce hadn’t heard that, I might still have no idea about it."Arietta—""I have zero tolerance and no patience for motherfuckers who don’t respect and sexualize the mother of my child in front of me, asshole. If you don’t leave like Ari told you, don’t blame me if I pull the trigger."I could hear the frustration in Pierce’s voice. I raised an eyebrow a

[ARIETTA’S POV]Mom looked at me, forcing a smile. "You know I will support you in everything you choose to do, Arietta. But I also think it’s my responsibility as your mother to think about your well-being, whether you’ll be happy with the situation you're about to enter."My mother’s decision was firm, as if nothing could shake it. I was nervous because this was the first time I’d seen her this serious, and knowing her, she wants Pierce for me. That’s why she allowed him to re-enter my life. But I also understand Mom. She’s just being protective, especially since she knows and I’ve told her what happened before.Under the table, I felt Pierce holding my hand. My gaze shifted to him, and I was surprised when he faced my mother as though he wasn’t scared of what she had said."To be honest, I am not sure, Ma’am," he said, his tone becoming formal again. "I haven’t spoken to Dad yet about Arietta and me. I’m also not sure if the information he gave me about Arietta’s whereabouts and he
