All Chapters of In Bed with the Mafia King: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

“Viktor…” I said, my blood running cold. My best friend’s phone was answered by a man who tried to kill me less than two months ago.“You recognize my voice. How are you doing?” He asked.I looked at Nico and Nero, but they were already at my side. Nico gestured for Enzo to continue doing what he was doing with the thumb drive.“Why are you answering Lily’s phone?” I asked.Enzo abandoned what he was doing and traced the call.“Isn’t it obvious? I have her with me. This is another way of punishing you for rejecting me. I can’t have you thinking I’m out of your life for good. You bankrupted Lorenzo and made him lose his position in the government. I liked him, and you screwed him and me over.”I almost cried. My hands were shaking, and I was sweating everywhere. The last thing I wanted was for something to happen to Lily because of me. She was like a sister to me, and one of the people who hated me the most had her.“What do you want from me, Viktor?” I asked.“I think you know what I

“I am here with the drive. Free my best friend and let me leave here safely.” I said. “She needs medical assistance as soon as possible, or she will die.”The more I looked at Lily, the worse her state seemed. He had even broken her fingers and her ribs. He wanted me to feel pain, and he got exactly that. He knew how much she meant to me, and he hurt her to get back at him.I hated him with all my heart. I never wanted to shoot someone in the face as much as I wanted to shoot him, just to wipe that smirk off his face.“I’m afraid it will not be that simple,” Viktor said as he walked closer to me, “Now that I have you alone, I will take advantage of this opportunity. You really shouldn’t have come alone. Your boyfriend should have known this.”Fuck, Nero was right. Viktor didn’t plan for it to be a simple exchange. He was planning something else. His telling me that he had me alone and he planned to take advantage of it sent chills down my spine.What was he planning to do with me?“Yo

“Why do you want to become a made man, Luca?” I asked my brother. “It’s dangerous and could cost you your life. Luca, please think about this carefully.”He sighed, grabbed both my hands, and kissed them. Then he pulled me in for a warm hug. I shed a few tears when I realized Luca was no longer a child and he was going to make his own choices regardless of my opinions.“I know what I’m doing. This is the life I want. I don’t want to live a mundane life. I’ve always known I wasn’t meant to live a normal life. I’ve thought about this, Serena. I want this.”When I pulled away, I nodded. I didn’t want to push my brother away from me. He had the liberty to decide what kind of life he wanted to live. And I saw the conviction in his eyes. He wanted to be part of Nico’s organization badly.Who was I to take it away from him? Besides, he was in Nico’s care. There was no one I trusted more with my brother’s safety than Nico.“Fine, but you have to call me every now and then and assure me you’re

“How is Lily?” Nero asked me over the phone.“She’s doing well. She’s seeing a therapist, and it’s doing wonders for her. She’s better now. She even seems happier. When she got out of the hospital, I admit there was a moment I thought I would never get the old her back.”“Every wound can be healed with the right care. I hope you’re seeing the therapist as well. I told you he’s the best, and he is known for his discretion.”I smiled. Nero may have been on the other side of the world, but it didn’t stop him from caring for me. I twirled the engagement ring from him on my finger, the one he gave me in Italy.It reminded me of a time when we enjoyed one another’s company and forgot all the problems of the world. That time was precious, and I couldn’t wait to get married to Nero someday.We hadn’t discussed the details, but I wanted to get married when I found out who killed my parents. I wanted to get married when the memory of my parents was pure again. I would feel guilty if I got marri

“I could say the same for you, Lily. I know the wound of what happened to you at the hands of Viktor is still fresh, but you’re giving him power over your life. This is what he wants you to feel. He derives pleasure from making people miserable.” I said.Lily made a very good point, though she may not have realized it at the time; it also applied to her. She kept hanging on to what Viktor did to her, but he was controlling her life. She was always going to see him in every crowd and imagine him everywhere if she kept obsessing over him.Not to mention how she would never get access to him because he didn’t want to be found. Viktor was so good at hiding that Nero was unable to find him at times. It would be almost impossible for Lily to find him.“Viktor is still alive somewhere. I know who my assailant is. Is it so bad that I want to punish him for what he did to me? I’m scared to be by myself because I think he may come for me. I’m scared of going out alone. He did this to me. He tra
