Betrothed to the Mafia Heir のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Just within a minute, the dawn came, a new day checked in,...the day of Ray's presentation. He barely slept throughout last night. Thoughts of him becoming what he dreaded to be, haunted him. The mafia world was too dangerous, but what were the odds actually? He had been involved in a lot of risks, living in that villa was already dangerous enough. He got up and went straight to his closet, to the particular corner where he kept his late mother's picture and got it out. Staring at it, memories of the way and the day she died flooded his mind. He reminisced on the trauma, the shock on his face , the way his chest clenched as an eleven year old boy watching his mother die , how his father seemed so emotionless after seeing his wife's corpse. Joining the mafia would be a great blow to her face! But, he had already signed up for it. Ray felt it was too late to back off, not on the very day of the presentation. Draco wouldn't waste time to have his head. "I'm sorry,

I exhaled sharply and glared back at her. Only she knew what she was trying to imply, but I refused to mind her words. She unlocked the door immediately and ran downstairs. I waited for some time, even though the chaos seemed to have faded. I couldn't hear any more gunshots, but the voices of men. I could still hear a man calling Valerie’s name, her father obviously. I saw a message from an unknown number pop up on my phone; "Come down to the exit door behind the Hotel kitchen now!". It was one of the assassins. With that, I believed they had taken down Ray. The instruction was simple from Don Juan - Eliminate Ray and bring Lorna to his mansion. Inhaling sharply, I took out my heels and slowly walked out of the door . Heart thudding, fingers trembling, I felt guilty and bad that someone had died because of me. At the same time, I was anxious whilst moving, just so any of the assassins wouldn't mistake me for someone else and shoot me. I was

Meanwhile, miles away in Spokane… Only three men out of the assassins survived and they had come to pay Don Juan a visit towards the afternoon in his mansion. "I expected a call or maybe an earlier visit from you guys to get a full explanation of what happened last night ". He began, standing in front of them. One of them cleared his throat and spoke first; "We're sorry that this didn't work out as planned, boss. The council members realized we had bullet proofs on and they started shooting most of us on our uncovered parts". He paused . The next guy continued;"It was bloody, Don. Don Draco and his members shot down most of us. We were scattered everywhere, each of us looking for Ray, his son. Most of the hotel workers died. I shot one of the Council members and he dropped dead. Noticing that we were already getting fewer in number, I suggested we leave because one of us had shot Ray ." The last person then said; "We remembered we had to take Lor

Right after lunch, Valerie got a call from her father and had to go back home, not without promising Ray that she would keep coming from time to time until he was completely okay. The moment she left , it was as though there was relief in the whole villa. I went upstairs, and went into the bathroom to shower. That would make it the second time I was having my bath, before dusk. I inhaled and exhaled softly while sitting in the bathtub, clutching my arms around my bosom in a relaxing mode and allowing the water to fill me in. I felt cool, I felt relaxed, felt like I would rather be under the cold shower and relaxing in the bathtub than anywhere else in the villa. Reminiscing on everything that had happened from the previous day to today, I realized I could have been shot after those guys if Ray didn't look well and saw it was me. Goosebumps crawled over my skin as I sank deeper into my thoughts. Ray killed two humans right before me ! The thought of it was

She was serious and somehow, it hurt . Ray could see how much she was in the mood for an emotional outpour. "Don't stutter!" He chipped in and asked "Why?" She swallowed hard, blinked severally and then continued; "I can't really explain it. You scare me, Ray. You don't show emotions, you're mean, not just to me. The way you are and the way you act makes me wanna run away from you. You do maltreat me , I am not wanted here , I know that. But you act like I forced myself to be here. I don't even wanna be here as well! " She was almost yelling as her brown eyes turned glittery, the tears dropping slowly, one by one from each eye. "Or should I talk about how you make me get into a romance with you against my own will? You make me want you, and then you leave . You'll make me crave for more than romance, you do it to punish me . You're just cruel, rude, cold and bad...everything about you is bad! You tied me to the bed naked, Ray , and you painted me while I c
