All Chapters of In Bed with the Mafia King: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

I felt a little guilty for yelling at Dante about Viktor getting close enough to me because part of it was my fault, but the more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I had nothing to apologize for.It was all his fault that Viktor even got into the same restaurant I was in. He was supposed to be alert, and he didn’t leave his car once to make sure the man wouldn’t do anything to him. His excuse about thinking Viktor wouldn’t hurt me in a room full of people was pathetic.Surely, he had to know there were ways to hurt someone without attracting the attention of others. He had been trained to look out for things like that all the time.He and I didn’t speak to one another, because we had never spoken even before the incident. After what Viktor pulled the day before, he didn’t want to leave my side. It was Saturday, and I was making sure I got my shop in order before Monday.I was setting it up, arranging racks, mannequins, and putting up the fabric we would need to design various clo

“Ma'am, you can’t go in there,” we heard before a woman in a suit walked in. She was a redhead in a black skirt suit that fit her perfectly. Her hair was in a low bun without a strand out of place.She wore glasses that made her look fierce and beautiful at the same time. Those So Kate Christian Louboutin heels made her look tall and intimidating. Anyone who saw her was compelled to respect her.“My name is Claire Sandoval, and I am Serena Marino’s attorney. You had me running around New York looking for where she was being held because you wanted to talk to my client alone. A judge will be hearing about this. I might even file a lawsuit against you for this.” She said.“I tried to prevent her from coming in,” the rookie officer who was trying to stop her from walking into the interrogation room said.“It’s alright,” Officer White said, “Ms. Sandoval. I am sure you know the charges against your client are serious. I apologize that officers were incompetent enough as to not tell you wh

Nero embraced me as soon as I was out. He sighed in relief when he saw that in perfect health.“I go for two weeks, and this is what happens?” He asked. “Why didn’t you tell me what happened at the restaurant? I would have had them erase the evidence that you were there at all.”“I didn’t want to worry you. I didn’t want you to come back to New York without finishing your work in Russia, and that’s exactly what happened anyway,” I said, “I’m sorry, Nero.”“You have nothing to be sorry for, birichina. Don’t apologize for protecting yourself.”Viktor didn’t even bother to show up for the arraignment because he knew Nero would be there. He was a coward at the end of the day, and I hoped he would just get hit by a car and die.He was punishing me after I retaliated to his harassment. I was having dinner with someone I wanted to hire, and he dared to show up and scare me. When he said he assaulted Lily, I lost it.I just wanted to punish him, and I didn’t think he would report me to the fu

“Nero! There’s a strange man in our living room!” I screamed when I walked in and saw a guy sitting there with his legs on the table.He was dressed in dark cargo pants, combat boots, a black tee that hugged his firm muscles like a second skin, and a dark jacket on top. His long hair was in a man bun, and he had a full beard on his face.He reminded me of Roman Reigns, the wrestling champion. He had a grin on his face that I didn’t like when I screamed. He was amused by my fear, and it irked me. What kind of sick bastard enjoyed seeing fear?Nero was by my side in seconds. When he saw the man, his expression turned from concerned to sour.“Get your feet off my fucking table,” he said, and the man laughed, “I thought I told you not to scare my wife.”“One, she’s not your wife yet, and two, it’s not my fault she scares easily. She was the one who saw me sit here, and she freaked out. That’s hardly my fault, Nero.” The man answered.He spoke as you would expect a man like him to speak. H

“I didn’t think you would want to work with me after what people are saying about me online. They are calling me a criminal and someone who deserves to be locked up.” I said to Emily.She was at my design shop at the agreed time. She was ready to design clothes, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to design anymore. People were calling me all sorts of things online. Some were even saying I was an embarrassment to the fashion industry.Others alleged I was a homewrecker since Nero was engaged to someone else before he announced to the world in a newspaper that I was his fiancée and his future wife. He made sure all the major blogs published articles with his name next to mine.What he didn’t know was that women were usually on the receiving ends of scandals since the dawn of history. If a man was caught cheating, the woman usually suffered the consequences while the man was said to have had a moment of weakness.Or he was said to have been seduced by a whore or a slutty woman who didn’t have an
