Seducing The Mafia Lord's Stepbrother のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Amy’s POVI walked on bare feet, my heels swinging from my fingers and my heart racing like it was on a track. His cologne clung to my perfume, mixing into it. I closed my eyes and I could see his face; then, when I opened them, I saw Antonio.His shirt was mostly unbuttoned, his eyes glazed with worry, and his jaw taut. He powered down from the stairs and came to me, standing at the bottom of them. His eyes ran across my skin several times before he finally reached me."Antonio..."Before I could say anything more than his name, his hand was on my wrist. Before I knew it, I was thrown over his shoulder and being carried up the stairs. His march made the entire place tremble. Men along the way—some even as large as fridges—backed away just from the sight of him. The glare boiling on his face was enough to make them retreat without words exchanged.He kicked a door open. Inside were shelves as high as walls filled with thick books, and at the center was a prime mahogany desk. Something

Amy’s POVThe clinking of silverware was driving me crazy. It wasn't just the noise; it was triggering the anxiety I already felt. Ever since that day I saw Enzo, he kept sending invitations for me to come to his estate, each of them branded with the symbol of his faction on the back. Antonio had been keeping them in his study.So far, I knew nothing about the next move and was genuinely confused. This opportunity had all but fallen straight into my lap. Sure, I might have been a little reckless, but was he throwing away the whole plan just because of that?I looked at him from the corner of my eye: his cold, distant eyes, and the movement of his chiseled jaw as he enjoyed his meal. I couldn't do the same; each bite felt like I was tearing into rubber."Antonio," I called, my lips going dry.When he looked at me, I licked them accidentally, smearing them with sauce. His eyes fell there and remained in that position for too long until I coughed, and his gaze snapped back to my eyes."A

Amy's POVSleep was like an enemy that avoided me for most of the night. I think I managed to get about two hours, and within those two hours, I was run over by nightmares of what could have occurred. Madam Loretta had my phone, so I wasn't able to reach out to Antonio. I don't know if he even wanted me to reach out to him when he was out like this. My mind was racing, but after what she told me last night, I was rethinking just how involved I wanted to be in all this if I should just keep to my lane and not step out from the boundaries that had been placed in front of me. Maybe that would be easier, and maybe I could hold on to my neck longer instead of losing it foolishly.Morning came and there wasn't a sight of Madam Loretta, just another maid that served me my food in my room and told me that it was best I remained there for the time being. It was clear what I was being told wasn't a suggestion, but more or less a command coming from Madam Loretta herself. I sighed and accepted m

Amy's POVI didn't tell Aubrey that her husband was messaging me. It would have been nothing more than a hindrance to me, but I’d be lying if I said I didn't feel a tiny pinch of guilt whenever she messaged me bragging about how her man was "the best in the world." By my fifth morning on house arrest, I had already been filled in on their entire life."They met six years ago in an airport restaurant and just happened to be going on the same flight, their seats next to each other! I just knew it was fate!" Aubrey had gushed.I tried to fix the timeline in my head. Yeah, that was during the time I was down with a fever. Jeremy and I had a vacation planned, and when I got sick, he convinced me to stay back and work while he went anyway. He had the time of his life while I was barely pushing through, eventually spending a chunk of my savings on an ambulance because I couldn't move. He hadn't answered my calls the entire trip. He claimed the "service was terrible," and I had gone for it ho

Amy's POVMadam Loretta’s face tightened. "She is a distraction! She""Can stay by his side and warm up his bed. That’s her job, isn't it?" Ravenna interrupted. "I don’t see why waking up to a pretty face would do anything other than help."Loretta’s whole body shook, looking ready to strike the younger woman, but Ravenna didn't flinch. "Both you and this child have the same problem," Loretta hissed. "You just don’t know when to step back."Ravenna smiled. "I’ll take that as a compliment, Madam L."With a subtle gesture, Ravenna signaled the guards to release me. "Why are you still standing here?" she whispered to me. "He needs you right now, doesn't he?"I didn’t wait for her to retract the invitation. I bolted past the guards faster than the wind itself, panting as I followed the trail of blood to a door that hit me with the smell of antiseptic. The doctor was already inside. I knew I couldn't go further, but I would stay as close as I was allowed.I had spent the past days imaginin
