Semua Bab Her Enemy's Touch : Bab 31 - Bab 40

MarcelloI clenched my fist, squeezing the piece of paper in my hand, as anger and frustration rose up inside of me. I threw the crunched paper away in anger, dropping at one of my men's feet.This investigation is getting harder than I thought, it has been fifteen years and I'm still searching for Marcella without making any progress and also the plan to acquire the Gambino Empire.The letter I received a while ago shows that I was probably getting closer to knowing the truth. My lips curled into a smirk as a bulb of insight lit my head.“Get me the crunched paper,” I said, my voice laced with quiet command.I spread out the crunched paper as soon as it got to my hand then hung it on the transparent board that contained other leads that make up my investigations.Someone is trying to make me stop, the mistake he made was sending me a warning. It almost had me but at this point I would only intensify my investigations. When I finally get to meet the person who sent me the letter, my b

Solane The choking smell of smoke made its way into my nostrils, causing me to cough violently. The weight of an unknown thing pinned me down, making it unable for me to shift my weight.My eyelids fluttered open slightly, the foggy smoke stinging them as I forced them open. My gaze landed on the thug who had kidnapped me, blood oozed out on the side of his head, the sight of it made my stomach twist.“Ahggg,” I groaned as I pushed the weight of the seat that trapped me off my legs. I winched as I pulled my legs out slowly, a scrap of iron scratching my skin.Gathering all the strength left in me, I hit the glass with the sole of my shoe, pain shot through my body at every attempt I made to break the glass and I couldn't until my gaze swept the vehicle and my gaze fell on the thug's pistol. My hands trembled as I reached out to grab the pistol but then I froze when he moved slightly, a groan escaping his lips.When I saw that he wasn't fully awake, I grabbed the door swiftly, pulling

Marcello “Five days time? That's too close. Why the rush Nonnetta?” I said, frowning and running a hand through my hair in frustration. Her brow knitted, “We have had this discussion before now, Macy. We aren't going back to the same thing we have discussed over and over again,” she said, My tongue ran over my dry lips, “I don't think it would be possible, Nonnetta! I have a lot going on during this period and can't afford to add a non-significant one to it,” I said, hoping that she would at least understand my point. “Why Macey? Why are you bent on giving me my grandchildren? How could you say marrying was insignificant?” She demanded, her voice trembling with a mix of hurt and disbelief. “No,ma. I didn't mean it that way. The problems that have to be solved require absolute attention and a wedding would only slow it down,” I explained, trying to get her to understand the situation. “That’s not an excuse, Macey. A man comes across problems in every phase of life and woul

CHAPTER 37Solane My gaze hovered over the message again, reading it over as if there were more to read. I let out a shaky breath as my heart pounded against my chest, coupled with the heaviness I have been feeling since my father was murdered.My lips curled into a fulfilling smile knowing that my father would be able to finally rest in peace but… something seemed to be wrong. My smile faded as I had expected to be overjoyed after avenging my father's death but right now I felt as if a large dark hole had formed in my heart. I felt empty instead of happy.I lowered my weight into the bed, heavy with thoughts, “What's wrong?” I muttered to myself.‘You had better get up and leave here real quick before his men find out that you were behind this,’ a thought dropped in my mind, making me jolt up from the bed.I hurried out of the room since I had nothing to pack up, my eyes scanning the hallway before walking through, just to make sure that I leave without being seen by others.I exhal

MARCELLO “Uncle Vaka, meet my fiance, Marcello,” Tonia said, sweetly.Don Vaka's lips curled into a slight menacing smirk, disbelief creeping to his face and likewise mine.“Ahahahah,” a menacing laugh erupted out of his lips as his gaze narrowed on me. “Its such a small world! Don't you think, Marcello?”I lowered my gaze, not that I was intimidated by his presence but because things were getting more complicated. I had thought about talking to her uncle about ending the engagement even before it started but now, I don't even know where this was heading to.“Do you know eachother?” Nonnetta asked, her gaze drifting from him to me.“No,” I said, quickly.“Yes,” Don Vaka replied, the edge of his lips curling into a mocking smile.Without thinking, I stretched forth my hand to him for a handshake so as to wave off the awkwardness in the air. “It's nice meeting you, Uncle Vaka,” I said between gritted teeth.I couldn't allow him to say things that shouldn't be said, not in front of Nonn
