All Chapters of Dumped Yesterday, Owned by My ex's Mafia Uncle Today: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

[Elena's POV]I smoothed down the silk of my dress and gave Noah a small, deliberate smile."You look incredibly tense," I teased, stepping closer to him. "Are you worried your mother bullied me?"Noah shifted his weight. For the first time since I met him, the terrifying Boss of Velgrave actually avoided my gaze. He looked distinctly uncomfortable."My mother does not bully women," Noah muttered, running a hand through his dark brown hair. "I was worried she would be... overly enthusiastic. She has a terrible habit of adopting poor girl."I let out a genuine laugh. "She didn't adopt me. She just told me your professional stylists are idiots. She redid my makeup and taught me a couple of basic Italian phrases."Noah relaxed. The heavy tension in his shoulders completely vanished. He stepped into my space and carefully studied my face. His thumb gently brushed my cheekbone, staying far away from my fresh red lipstick."She is right," Noah admitted, his voice dropping to a low, warm rum

[Elena's POV]We walked away from the pool. The wet, slapping sound of Jessica's furious footsteps faded into the loud party music behind us."Noah," I whispered, pulling slightly on his sleeve. "I saw Jessica's phone screen. She was definitely messaging Adrian. I think he is coming here."Noah didn't even slow his pace. He guided me into the quiet, empty hallway of the main hotel building. The thick carpet instantly absorbed the sound of our footsteps."I told you to stop worrying about irrelevant men," Noah said. His voice was a low, steady rumble."I know the rats are coming. Caleb will handle anyone trying to sneak into the venue. I am leaving the mess to my idiot nephew. He needs to learn how to host a family event properly."Before I could even process his words, the world suddenly tilted.Noah leaned down and scooped me up into his arms. He lifted me completely off the floor.I gasped, instinctively wrapping my good left arm around his thick neck to steady myself.He carried me

[Elena's POV]The silent car ride back to the estate was pure torture. Noah didn't say a single word. He just gripped my left thigh so hard his fingers left bruises on my skin.He dragged me through the front doors of the quiet villa. We bypassed the grand staircase.We bypassed his bedroom. He pulled me straight down the dark, carpeted hallway toward the unmarked door at the very end.The secret room.He kicked the heavy door open and shoved me inside.The smell of rich leather and dark cedar hit my nose. He flicked the wall switch.The dim, warm lights buzzed to life, illuminating the terrifying collection of whips, ropes, and polished metal cuffs hanging on the walls."Noah," I gasped, stumbling backward until my calves hit the edge of the massive, heavy leather chair in the center of the room.He didn't speak. His eyes were completely black, stripped of all human mercy.He stepped into my space. His large hands grabbed the emerald green silk of my dress. He found the side zipper,

[Elena's POV]I found Noah in his private study. He was already wearing a dark tailored overcoat, silently slipping his silver pistol into his shoulder holster."I need to borrow a car," I said, leaning against the heavy oak doorframe. "Nicole just sent me the exact location of the safe house. Adrian actually left New York. I want to go see my mom tonight."Noah paused. He looked at me, his deep blue eyes sharp and calculating. "You went to see Caleb today. You gave him flowers and a drawing.""He took a bullet because of my lie," I replied evenly, holding his gaze. "It was an apology."Noah didn't argue. His jaw ticked slightly. He pulled a heavy set of keys from his pocket and walked me out to the east garage.A brand new, matte black Mercedes G-Wagon sat under the bright LED lights, the keys already resting in the center console."Get in," Noah ordered.I stared at the massive luxury tank. "Noah, I can't drive this. It's huge. And it's yours.""It is yours now," he corrected, pulli

[Elena's POV]My lungs stopped working.I stared at the bloody image of Adrian tied to the metal chair. Ten minutes. Jake was going to execute my brother in ten minutes if I didn't show up."Elena?" Dr. Aris Shawn stepped closer, his smile faltering. He noticed my paper-white face. "Are you alright? You look like you're going to pass out."I shoved the phone into my pocket. I didn't have time to explain mafia politics to a civilian cardiologist."Dr. Shawn, you drove here, right?" I asked frantically, grabbing his forearm. "I need you to take me to the city. Right now. It is a life-or-death emergency."Aris blinked, totally caught off guard. "I... yes, of course. My car is outside."I sprinted past him toward the front door. I threw it open and rushed out onto the porch.I didn't make it three steps.Two massive Velgrave guards instantly stepped in front of me. They moved with terrifying speed, blocking the wooden stairs completely. They unclipped the holsters of their heavy pistols,
