Seducing The Mafia Lord's Stepbrother のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Antonio's POVThe rat didn't show up to the meeting place.I watched my men running around, scouring the entire abandoned casino looking for him. I had brought three of them with me—a minimum number. Ordinarily, I would have preferred to come by myself, but I always had to come with backup when meeting Diego. I didn't know when he was going to slip up and decide one of our meetings was the best opportunity to betray me. Turns out, he decided to make another grave mistake: not meeting me at all.I allowed a dark chuckle to pass through my lips as I finally began to signal my men to return back to the car. It seems like the boots I have kept on his neck have become loose recently. Perhaps I have become soft in some way. Immediately, her face flashed through my mind. When I thought of it—right—I wasn't being the vicious mob boss that the city knew me to be, that Diego definitely knew me to be. It seems that tonight, I will have to correct that.It took less than half an hour to find out

Antonio’s POV"Boss, I'm telling you, this smells of a trap," Marco said from behind the wheel, his hand occasionally moving to his holster for reassurance.Diego had arranged the meeting with Enzo. What became of him afterward, I don’t know or care. Now we were driving to the neutral grounds, droplets of rain pounding against the windshield. Through the blur of the night, all I could see was her face. I had to admit it to myself now—I was really slipping, wasn't I? Worried about another person like this who wasn't part of my familia.Marco kept talking, probably just to fill the deepening silence. "Maybe you should have brought more men. We know Enzo isn't coming here without at least half a dozen sharpshooters. If we are outnumbered, it goes from being a meeting to—""Focus on the road, Marco," I snapped. "If Enzo tries to pull a fast one, then we'll have to show him that he's trapped there with us, not the other way around."I had come with few numbers, but I wasn't afraid. There w

Amy's POVWithout looking away from the man, he signaled his men, and they came to grab Carlos, who was already slipping into unconsciousness. His other men took care of the giant who had been about to knock me out. As they did so, Antonio pulled back, and his gaze moved anywhere else other than where I was.In that moment, I was reminded of my place. Of course, he hadn't come here for me—just for Carlos. At best, I was just an added bonus. He came forward, grabbing my arms while still avoiding looking directly at me. He pulled me up, saying nothing, and just dragged me along. As we walked past other soldiers belonging to Enzo, they didn't make an attempt to go after us; they just stood to the side, but with a heat that could burn through ice.I was more or less yanked into the back seat. What was supposed to bring relief brought a different type of tension, loading into my chest as the SUV began its suffocating ride back. Antonio didn't say anything, and somehow his presence still fi

Amy's POVI heard a mechanical crunch and, afterwards, saw the bits and pieces of Antonio's phone fall onto the floor in a pathetic pile. He ended the call between him and his brother in the most extreme way. He didn't walk away after that; he just stood there, perfectly still, like a statue—a perfectly chiseled, dark statue."Antonio, please say something..." The silence was getting to me again. I didn't know what to expect from him when nothing was being said for far too long.Then, he turned around to face me, and there was a flicker of something incredibly wrong deep beneath his eyes—something I couldn't quite read. He came back toward me again and raised his hand, not to hit me, but to hover over my cheek, forming the ghost of a touch. His fingers carefully grazed over my jawline as if I were a bomb that could detonate at any time."If I knew this would happen," he said, his voice barely above a whisper, "I would have done everything possible to make sure that you had never stepp

Amy's POV"Ugh..." I groaned as the morning light escaped through the gap of the curtains and spilled over my face. It would have been nice to go out and bask in it properly, then I was reminded that I was under confinement. I sighed in defeat.I was about to roll around and go back to sleep when a thought snapped into life. I jumped off the bed immediately, flipping the mattress and going at every drawer, turning over furniture until the room looked like a hurricane had gone through it. I kept doing this until it felt like my palms were burning. My heart hammered against my ribs in a rhythm that was broken and uneven.The search had taken an hour, and there was nothing to show for it other than the acceptance of what had happened: my burner phone was gone.I sat up uneasily on the edge of the bed, my breath shallow and cracked. I had taken it with me into Enzo's domain, and in my haste to escape with Carlos, I had forgotten it. There was no doubt that eventually, it would fall into E
