All Chapters of FORBIDDEN DEAL WITH THE MAFIA BOSS : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Lucille’s POVI stood at the door of the VIP ward waiting. Gary had rushed him to his hospital and from the look of things and no questions asked by the staff, they very well knew what had happened.Gary was in the ward with him while I stayed out, panicked off my mind how much blood he had lost. Even then, he was smiling. Moments later, the doctor stepped out, informing me he had asked for me.Once I walked in, Gary stepped out, leaving just the two of us. “Are you okay?” I asked.He shook his head, gesturing for the glass of water on the table. I brought it to him but he didn’t take it. He just stared at me. I understood what he meant then helped him up, before feeding him the water.“You’re horrible at taking care of the sick,” he said.“And you’re bad at pretending,” I fired back.“Two things we have in common but I had to at least try. It was the only way to get you to take care of me.”“Why would you want that?”“I wanted to see how much I have crept into your heart.”I shook my

Lucille’s POV“Happy?” I asked, stepping forward.I looked around and found just King standing in the middle of the room. “Your friend took Katherine so he didn’t see the need to stay,” King said, helping himself with the seat.“Why did you do that?” I asked.He shrugged. “It was fun seeing the frightened look on your face but I wouldn’t do that to you,” he said.I joined him across the table, sighing. “It failed but you shouldn’t be gloomy just yet,” he said, leaning in.“You don’t get it,” I said. “Their love is…” I paused.How could they be so glued together? I knew Katherine wasn’t entirely into it. She needed Benjamin to hurt me but Benjamin —he has been with me for over ten years.I’ve loved him for years but he not only cheated on me but he was so trusting with Katherine. I always had to apologize when a man came too close but with Katherine he was ready to let it go.Was I that horrible of a wife?“You’re doubting yourself, aren’t you?”I raised my head to King. “Your expressi

Lucille’s POVI returned home. My new home.It was simple, my style.Benjamin hated the concept of humility. His home had to be extravagant, showcasing wealth he did not own. He was a lazy man, yet I loved him.There wasn’t a penny to his name, yet I loved him. Every house was under his name, most of my assets under his name and the one thing I wanted for myself he wanted to take it away.This house was under my name now. It was humble. Yes, I was considered the best lawyer, wealth came in from all sides —either from people who wanted to suck up to me or people who wanted me to take on their case.I knew it was okay to have a big house but sometimes a humble house was just as perfect. Or maybe I was using that to console myself after my family fell apart.The boxes were scattered around the open living room. I knew I wouldn’t be able to get them arranged tonight. I was drained to say the least but I had a few documents to review so no sleep yet.I opened boxes, searching for my laptop

Lucille’s POV“What is this?” a voice came through the speakers.“This isn’t important yet but what if I told you the new technology Mr. Mathew told you he created was not from him,” Benjamin’s voice followed.“Really?” the man sounded skeptical.At this point, Mathew and Raymond were on their feets.“Mr. Mathew stole my work. I made the designs and the coding. I have the patent with me,” Benjamin said.“So why are you telling me this?”“Work with me. Crumble that company. Once I have it, I would ensure you get your share and would never be treated unfairly again.”“Turn it off!” Benjamin screamed, rushing over to the laptop.No one tried to stop him. He tapped furiously on the keyboard but it only changed the recording. “You stole it,” Katherine’s voice came and blood drained from her face.“Obviously, how do you expect that I convince Mr. Arnold that I know what I am doing,” he scoffed. “This would be perfect. I can’t wait for tomorrow’s launch. I will make sure that company drowns.

Lucille’s POVI tossed the gun to the side, my hands shaking. King chuckled at that. “What is wrong with you?”I took in a deep breath, still staring down at his abdomen. The gun was empty but I wasn’t so sure. I’ve seen him shot before and the man was anything but cared for it.“Scared? Worried?” he asked.“Yes, I wouldn’t want a dead man in my house,” I said.His fingers came around my neck, pulling me close and I swear my lips itched to have his on mine right now. I knew he was doing all this on purpose but I was ready to fall.Just this once.His clean breath grazed my face as he spoke next. “You can’t get rid of me that easily even if you try, honey,” he said, etching closer.I subconsciously shut my eyes, waiting for the contact but it never came. Instead, my neck became bare as he stepped back. My lust was quickly replaced with embarrassment as I opened my eyes.“I’ll let you rest for the night,” he said, before exiting the house.I grabbed a pillow and was ready to throw it at
