Все главы Sex with the Mafia King: Глава 211 - Глава 220

The funeral went by in a blur. One moment, the priest was doing the ceremony, and the next, they were lowering the casket into the ground. There weren’t a lot of people at the funeral. My uncle was not in good graces with the elites in New York.He had underestimated the power the DeLuca family had in New York and overestimated the power Viktor and his father had. When Nero told people not to work with him, his word was considered law.None of them was brave enough to come and pay their respects. You could count the number of people who were there. Even Nero didn’t attend the ceremony. He lingered in the corner, making sure there were no threats to look out for.Luca had luckily flown in to attend the ceremony, and I had a feeling it had more to do with supporting Matteo than it did with making sure Lorenzo was buried properly. It was no surprise that he hated the man.Matteo wouldn’t even look at us. He kept glaring at the ground like it had wronged him. I didn’t want to imagine what

The day for the official hearing had finally arrived. I was so nervous that my palms were sweating and I could barely relax. All the jury members were in their rightful places, and so was the judge. As usual, there were a million cameras and lots of reporters waiting to witness my downfall.This time, I chose a light pink suit and light makeup to seem a little more friendly. I tried my best to look nervous and harmless because it would help garner sympathy for me. I wasn’t sure any of those people would sympathise with the fiancée of a billionaire, but I had to believe that they would.I wore cheap jewelry and even charms made of simple materials to seem friendlier. It was manipulative, but it was the only way I knew how to make sure people were on my side. The prosecutor stood and glanced at Claire and me. I already hated him because I knew he was probably working with Viktor. Men like him disgusted me. Viktor was the one who was supposed to be on trial, not me. Nero told me he look

The case was dismissed because of a lack of sufficient evidence almost immediately. There was nothing Mark could do when the video evidence was dismissed. He had no choice but to relent and agree to the verdict.I couldn’t stop smiling when this happened. The ruling would not only change the public perception of me but also mean I wouldn’t end up in jail and could continue pursuing my dream of becoming a fashion designer.I would launch my brand as soon as possible. Nothing would stop me. I rushed to embrace Nero when the verdict came in. I was in tears, and Lily rushed to us. She was also very happy for me, and I was glad for her support.Viktor was nowhere to be found. He had disappeared after the judge allowed the jury to leave so Claire could question Officer White. I wasn’t surprised that he left because he was a coward, and everyone knew it for a fact.“I knew this would happen,” Lily said.“Claire, thank you,” I said as I hugged her as well. I would have never gotten off it wer

Nico and Tally flew in after they heard the threats against Nero. It wasn’t just about Nero’s reputation or whether or not he would go to jail. It was about the entire DeLuca dynasty. Enzo was stuck in Switzerland, but he was also on his way.It was a whole family affair. Tally and Nico looked closer than they had been before they left, and they acted like a real couple. As far as I knew, their wedding was coming up, and it would be held in Italy.I hoped they would be able to tolerate one another in the long term.“Who the fuck are these people?” Nico asked. “I’ve never heard of them before.”“They are not a name you’ll see unless they come for you. No one wants to say a bunch of nerds is forcing them to give up wealth, power, and leverage. That’s why they’re still standing. People are also afraid their secrets will be spilled when they speak about their experience with this group.”I thought the DeLuca family and other powerful mafia families ran the world, but it seemed there were

Enzo looked around the room and signaled something to Nico, who nodded once and looked right at Dominic.“Take your girl to freshen up. The grown-ups need to talk.” He said casually.I was about to argue, but Nero shook his head at me. At the end of the day, Nico was our leader, and we had to follow his footsteps. He was older, wiser, and he had all our best interests at heart.Lily looked offended, and I reached over and squeezed her hand to reassure her that she still meant the world to me. She stormed off looking as angry as ever. As soon as she was gone, I turned to Nico.“What the fuck?!” I asked him.“Listen to me, princess. You know I adore you, but I don’t know Lily, and I think we have told her enough. I don’t know her, and I refuse to trust someone I wouldn’t trust my life with. I would trust my life with you and every one of you, but I wouldn’t do the same with your best friend.”He made sure to glance at Tally to make sure she knew he trusted her with his life, even though
