All Chapters of Mafia Blood Ties: Between Brothers : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

MERA Camilo was on a call, which he ended as soon as he entered and walked over to Lorenzo and me. Lorenzo cleared the table and stood up to throw away the empty containers, and I could tell he was trying to avoid Camilo. But I stopped him and took the empty boxes to throw away instead. I was not prepared to face Camilo yet. After throwing everything away, I walked to the kitchen, pretending to be busy so I would not have to talk to him, and I was still standing there when I heard Lorenzo's voice behind me. “I’m going to head out. I’ll check you guys later." He stood at the entrance. "Sure. Thank you for the lunch." “You’re welcome,” he said, then walked out. I grabbed a bottle of water and one of the counter stools, but as I was about to sit, my name echoed behind me. "Mera?" I turned to see Camilo standing by the entrance, and he moved forward. “Is everything alright?” “Everything?” “With you, I mean. Are you okay?” "I'm great," I said, turning away from him a

MERA "I knew something was going on between the two of you the moment I arrived here. And that day at the rink confirmed everything," he said raising his hand to my face, which I swatted away. “What are you doing?” I took a step back, but he grabbed my hand and roughly turned me around, pinning me to the dresser. "I won't tell if you don't," he whispered into my ear, pinning my arms against my chest with one hand before tucking my hair behind my ear. “Lorenzo… what are you doing? You’re hurting me.” I hissed as the dresser's edges pressed painfully against my stomach. But my body went rigid the moment his lips latched onto my neck. “Lorenzo-” I attempted to speak, my voice quavering as fear surged through my veins, but he roughly grabbed my jaw. "Shh… you'll enjoy it. I promise.” He let go of my jawbone, and I squirmed against him, trying to free myself as he slipped his hand between my thighs. But he was too strong. “Lorenzo, no! Please- Ahh!!” “Shh…”The towel fell to the fl

CAMILOI was frustrated to the point of losing my mind. Mera refused to tell me what had happened between her and Camila, and Camila was equally quiet. Mera had kept saying she didn’t do it during their fight, but for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out what Camila thought she had done to justify all this. Camila loved Mera like a sister. Why would she attack her and throw her out?When I spoke with Ava last night, she and Camila expressed concern about Mera. Mera and Lorenzo were supposed to meet up with Camila and Ava at the club following the game, but Lorenzo arrived alone, claiming Mera had changed her mind. They tried calling her, but she didn't answer. I wanted to get Lorenzo alone and ask him if he knew anything. He and I still weren't close, but for Mera's sake, I would talk to him and I hoped he would care enough to tell me if he knew something, especially since he and Mera seemed to get along. When I took her bags downstairs, I spoke with Fern, who was to drive her to

MERA“Yes. After speaking with you this morning, I forwarded your resume to a few of my contacts, one of whom may have an opportunity available for you. He is a big brand as well, but I don't want to jinx it, so I will let him call you tomorrow." Ava's eyes gleamed with excitement, which mine mirrored as I thanked her.Our meal arrived, and Noa awoke just as we finished eating. I picked him up from the stroller to put him in the baby seat so I could feed him, but Ava asked me to give him to her, so I did. She enjoyed feeding him.I'd mentioned to her earlier that I needed some advice, so she asked what it was about. I told her about contacting Stein and shared a little bit about Logan, including how he had never wanted to be a part of Noa's life.I then told her how worried I was that contacting Stein and attempting to get my inheritance would force me to return to France, which I was not looking forward to.I obviously intended to stay away from Logan, but what if he was still lookin

CAMILA “Stop it!" I squealed, giving Lorenzo a playful tap on the head. “I'm going to throw up on you!" He had me loaded onto his shoulder and was heading out of the kitchen. But my laughter was cut short by the sound of the front door shaking the walls before Camilo strode inside with a murderous look in his eyes. He charged directly at us, and Lorenzo set me down just in time to see Camilo land a startling blow to Lorenzo's face, followed by a vicious headbutt that left Lorenzo reeling backward in shock. “Are you crazy? What are you doing?!” I screamed, attempting to separate them. But Camilo pushed me aside, and I stumbled, nearly falling before catching myself. "Stop! Camilo! What are you doing?!” I screamed in complete bewilderment as they swung back and forth, now grappling on the ground as Lorenzo retaliated. The room descended into chaos as Camilo straddled Lorenzo and kept punching him in the face. “Camilo! Please, you’re hurting him!” Frantic and terrified, I att
