Lahat ng Kabanata ng In Bed with the Mafia King: Kabanata 101 - Kabanata 110

“I hope I never need it,” I told him. “I don’t like carrying a gun everywhere.”“You need it for protection. Maybe you need a smaller gun that you can carry, especially now. There is danger everywhere, and I’m afraid whoever is coming for everyone around you might come for you.”That was a real concern that we had, but I didn’t want to think about that any longer than I had to. I would do that once I went back to the reality that was waiting for me back in New York.Things over there were fucked up. Lily was helping me look into some things, and she told me not to worry. She assured me to enjoy my stay with Nero. She was his biggest fan. She thought he really loved me.I didn’t blame her.“You do notice lots of things about me. You probably know me better than anyone.”“Do I know you better than Dominic?” I asked him.“Probably not. He’s my right-hand man. He and I grew up together. He’s helping Nico take care of business back in New York.”“I’m jealous of him. I want to know you bett

“Who is that?” I asked Nero.He watched Marco leave, and only when he wasn’t in view did he turn towards me. He didn’t look impressed in the slightest. It was obvious the two didn’t get along.“He’s the son of my brother’s advisor. In every organization, there is an advisor who decides whether the decisions a mafia leader makes are wise or not. They assess whether a certain situation will lead to war or do more harm than good.”I’d heard of consiglieres. His father must have been that man.“You don’t like him.”“I don’t. He’s a bastard, and his sister is just as bad as he is. The only reason I tolerate the two of them is that their father has done a good job for us. He’s the reason we’re not currently at war with the Russians.”“You work with his father?”“His father worked for my father, and now works for Nico. I don’t work closely with him, but his opinions affect me indirectly or directly. The old man is getting ready to retire, and unfortunately, he’s the next in line to be the co

The fashion show was amazing, and afterwards, I was introduced to several famous designers who were excited to read my article from the fashion show. The whole moment was surreal. But that wasn’t even the best part.I looked at a dress a little too long, and Nero bought it off the runway. It was a beautiful Versace gown, and it looked really amazing. Seeing how much he had done for me, I talked to the Armani designer in private to see if we could collaborate to design something for Nero’s birthday.He didn’t tell me when it was, but I had asked Dominic. Nero didn’t care about his birthday and refused to tell me when it was because he didn’t want to celebrate it. I disagreed.I had to at least get him a birthday gift, even if he didn’t want to celebrate it. The Armani designer agreed and told me he would be in New York in the next week and we could meet and design something.He said he could see my vision. I wanted to help design a line dedicated to Nero, but I didn’t tell him that for

My heart was beating wildly against my chest, and I could barely stand. I fought the urge to scream and run. Nero told me Nico preyed on people’s fear. He was like a beast who fed off of it.“I’m not running from you, Nico. What do you want?” I asked, my voice quivering.He got off the wall and started walking towards me. It took everything in me not to walk backwards. Despite not wanting to falter, I made sure the bedroom door was unlocked so I could run at any moment.If he tried to take my life, I would run and attack him with the knives I had in my kitchen. I had to be faster than him since he was bigger. Nero had been right. A gun was no good if it was locked in a hidden safe.I couldn’t access it.“I want to know why you were in Italy with my baby brother,” he stated as he reached me.We were inches apart, and I was sure he could tell from my heavy breathing and the quick rise and fall of my chest that I was scared.“He kidnapped me, Nico. I didn’t have much of a choice.” I said

Like the crybaby I was, I sobbed to Lily about what Nico had told me. He was determined to make sure Nero married Tallulah. We had googled her after Nico told me her name, and she was gorgeous.She was blonde with hypnotizing hazel eyes. She was very petite, unlike me. I had curves for days, and I was on the bigger side when it came to boobs. They weren’t huge, but they weren’t small either. She was nothing like me.Nero was coming back in a few hours, and I wasn’t sure what I would say to him. I had been ignoring his calls and texts because I didn’t want to act like everything was fine, and it wasn’t. I also couldn’t tell him we couldn’t be together over the phone.Work was keeping me busy, but barely. I still cried myself to sleep every single night. I had planned to move into the penthouse Nero had set aside for me, but I wasn’t sure he would let me do it after I broke things off with him.So I refused to move into the new place until he told me I could still have it. Things with m
