All Chapters of Love Me or Kill Me: The Mafia Star Under the Spotlight: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Celine POVSince Enzo Romano walked into my life, nothing has felt steady anymore. I want to be with any man, just to feel wanted, to feel loved, to feel like I matter. That is not me. This is not Celine. I feel like I am drifting away from who I am and from everything I once wanted. I used Michael and everyone else just because Enzo already has a girlfriend… and I fell in love with him. I should forget everything and start over. I should. But I cannot.Before Victor started the car, his phone rang once, short and sharp, announcing a new message. He picked it up and read it. Then he looked at me. My stomach twisted the moment I saw the hesitation in his eyes.“It’s Jennie,” he said. “She says they’re all meeting at a bar nearby, and we should join them.”He stared at me like he was trying to read the chaos inside my head.“I… I’ve never been to a bar before, Vic. Maybe I should just go back to the hotel…”I bit my lip so hard I tasted blood. Enzo Romano never left my mind. His angry f

Celine Montgomery POVI saw a sideways smile curve on Enzo’s lips after he hit Victor."Oh my God, what did you do!!!" I screamed, my eyes darting between the furious Enzo Romano and Victor lying on the floor."Let’s get out of here!!" Enzo shouted in my face, grabbing my fist and dragging me behind him.Fear gripped me—real fear, the kind I had never felt before. My limbs felt cold despite my burning body, my blood roaring in my ears. I didn’t say a word as Enzo picked up my bag and clothes, like a cat had stolen my tongue.He threw my jacket at me harshly. "Put it on," he said through his angry breaths.Everyone in the club was staring. The red and blue neon lights bounced off the glossy floor, and the mix of perfume and alcohol made it hard to breathe. I felt so exposed, so tiny. How I wished I could just be a normal girl right now—someone no one knew. If only, once I left this club, everyone would forget my face, or better yet, they’d all be too drunk to remember anything tomorrow

Celine Montgomery POVA pounding headache, dark circles under bloodshot eyes… messy hair and a shattered spirit that’s hard to fix… a throbbing weight pressing against my temples with every heartbeat, like a hidden hammer smashing inside me without mercy.I stared at my reflection in the mirror, barely able to see through the agony of my head. The pale reflection of my skin under the cold bathroom light made my stomach twist.I poured a cup of coffee, trying to piece together last night. The strong aroma of black coffee filled my head, but all I could remember were fragments of what happened… like a painful nightmare that haunted me all night.I hadn’t even taken off my clothes, and I can’t recall how I managed to sleep… but I thanked God for my drunkenness! Without it, I would have never fallen asleep.I undressed and sat under the shower, trying to wash away my body and my pain if I could. Warm water poured over my shoulders, sliding down my back, but it couldn’t melt the ache stuck

Celine Montgomery POVI gasped as I felt my body falling, but two strong arms caught me before I could hit the ground.I opened my eyes to see Enzo kneeling on the car floor in front of me, a wide smile on his handsome face, his hazel eyes sparkling as he stared at my face so close to his.My heart pounded in my throat. My eyes widened as I pushed him away to sit on the floor, wrapping myself tighter in the tangled blanket."You almost fell…"He lifted himself off the floor after I pushed him and returned to his seat.I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear and stood."I'm fine…"He glanced at his watch."How do you feel after almost three and a half hours of sleep?"I gasped in disbelief, grabbed my phone from my bag, and smiled. I had slept well and now felt ready for training and whatever else awaited.He grinned smugly, that mischievous smile curling his lips."Yeah… you were sleeping like a little child… I even took a picture! Your drool… imagine the chaos if the fans saw this."

Selene Montgomery POVAs I stared at my reflection in the mirror inside the restaurant bathroom, the harsh white lights revealed every detail of my face. I noticed a slight tremor in my lips, and I wasn’t sure if it was anger or anxiety.Jenny walked in, her expression unreadable. She came closer to walk beside me, washed her hands, then glanced at me from the corner of her eye with an arrogant, cryptic stare.I rolled my eyes and stepped away from the sink, heading toward the door until her words hit me like a lightning strike.She said in that fake, venomous voice:“What’s wrong with you… you and Enzo Romano??”My shoulders stiffened. I turned slowly, watching her reflection in the mirror before facing her directly.I said, my voice tight:“What do you mean???”She raised an eyebrow, placed both hands on her hips, and said:“Come on!! Don’t act… we all see that something’s going on between you two!!”I clenched my fingers until they turned white. Heat rushed to my cheeks.I said:“E
