Seducing The Mafia Lord's Stepbrother のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 101 - チャプター 110

ANTONIO POV Of all the news to expect, not this one. Whether to be happy or sad, I wasn't sure which one was better. “Wow—” The word escaped my mouth as I moped at the file that was handed to me. “That's a lot I wasn't expecting this to be the case, honestly, doc.” “So what were you expecting?”I turned to my left where Silvio existed. “Death.” I didn't hide myself or the thoughts that ran around in my head. “I expected the case to be death. This is a poison case we're referring to and that's usually the end game.” “Oh. Right.” “Yes, right.” I looked to my front where the doctor existed. “How long will he be there?”The doctor shook his head. “We don't know.” “What do you mean you don't know?!” Silvio banged his hand on the table, or the wall. I didn't care to check. “I've been paying more than enough money in your account since he was brought to this fucking hospital. What have you been using it for if not fixing him and bringing him back to life? What the hell are you saying?”

AMY POV What?!No way. “Uhm, no—” I shook my head at that instant. “She wants to go alone, we shouldn't deny her that. You can hire one of these men to watch—” “No—” Another person refused. It was Madame Loretta. She shook her head and moped at me with a smile. “Come on, I don't mind you coming with me. I'd love it, in fact.” What the hell was going on? Didn't she just say she wanted alone? “Come on—” Carlos let out. “I think you should go. You actually deserve something like that.” He looked at his boss before facing me again. “I wish I could go but it doesn't matter. There's always more than enough time to make plans.” He looked at his boss who nodded. “Plus nanna says she doesn't mind you coming - you two could use some time. Isn't it, Madame Loretta?”Madame Loretta nodded. A sigh only myself could hear escaped my mouth. If only they knew how much I tried to avoid the old woman, they'd give me an actual break. Another sigh escaped my mouth. “I don't want to be a bother, re

ANTONIO POVTomorrow, she'd be gone.Not forever. Not even for long. But gone nonetheless and I couldn't explain why that sat in my chest the way it did. I pushed the thought aside the same way I pushed most things — firmly and without ceremony — and returned my attention to the documents spread across my desk.The arrangements were done.Flight booked, hotel confirmed, security detail assigned. Two men I trusted with my own life would be on the ground in the Maldives before Amy and Madame Loretta even boarded. Another two would travel with them without being visible — close enough to move if anything moved first. I had gone over every detail twice and was going over it a third time not because anything was missing but because it gave me something to do with my hands.Carlos knocked once and let himself in."Everything set?" He took the chair across from me without being invited, which I had long stopped correcting him for."Yes." I didn't look up. "The men land first thing in the mor

AMY POVThe car was cold.Not uncomfortably so — just enough that I pulled my jacket tighter across my chest and watched the city move past the window in the early morning grey. Madame Loretta was already talking beside me. She had been talking since we left the house and showed no signs of stopping and under normal circumstances I would have been fully present for every word.This morning my mind was somewhere else entirely.I pressed my fingers to my lips once, briefly, then dropped my hand back to my lap before anyone could notice. The city kept moving. Carlos kept driving. Madame Loretta kept talking about what she planned to do the moment we arrived — something about the water, something about the sun, something about a specific type of fish she had read about that existed only in that part of the world and intended to see with her own eyes.I nodded when it seemed like nodding was appropriate."Amy." She touched my arm lightly."Mm?""I asked if you'd like to try the water activ

AMY POVI was out by the poolside, living life. Unlike before, I didn't have as many thoughts as before. How could I with everything before me? I had nothing - literally nothing to worry about. Why should I feel worried? Madame Loretta and I had something to eat together - about an hour ago. The oldie knew special delicacies I had never had - so many of them that existed I had never imagined existed. Now that I had my fill, the poolside sounded like the right place to be. So I stayed here. What now? What?After this vacation, what happens next? Low-key, I didn't want this moment to come to an end. Apart from the fun I was having, I knew I'd go back to that house and the next thing would be my departure to another country. Heck, I didn't want that shit to occur. But did I have a choice? I did not. I was still thinking about it when my phone beeped. Finally, a distraction. Maybe from Carlos, I was concluding as I picked it up. He was the only one who reached out to see how I was
