All Chapters of Betrothed to the Mafia Heir : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Lorna's POV I had questions to ask Ray that night, a lot of them. He didn't speak to me throughout the night, but eyes don't lie. He glanced at me tenderly from time to time, he would smile a bit and plant a kiss on my lips while we laid naked on the mattress. I couldn't ask anything or speak to him , no words, just thoughts. The maidservant brought us dinner in our bedroom after we wore our clothes. We ate in silence and although it was sickening, I preferred him to talk first and when he didn't, we slept without talking to each other. It was the next morning that we had a conversation . My alarm woke me up at exactly 5am. “You do know that not everyone wants to stop sleeping by now, right?” He muttered with a deep sleepy voice , stretching his arms across my chest. I chuckled and responded softly with; “I'm sorry. You can actually go back to sleep “.“Well, since you're now awake , I guess I can't sleep anymore “. His voice sounded a bit weak as he s

[15 years ago] **** Katherine's pregnancy was already six months gone and she had decided to get an ultrasound scan , to find out the gender of her baby. This pregnancy really meant a lot to her . She'd been married to Stefan for twelve years and their marriage had only produced an eleven year old son . Her husband was really comfortable and satisfied with their small family until Ray, their son grew up . He would always say things like “I wish I'm not the only child”, “Mom, I want a sister. My classmates has siblings and I don't “ and so on. After some time, Katherine realised she was pregnant and funnily, she didn’t expect Stefan to get so excited. But alas, he was happier than Ray , pampered her and always treated her like an egg . Things were going fine until the third month of her pregnancy when Stefan suddenly resigned from being the chief security officer at Queen Anne estate to becoming an intended Mafia Lord of the City Council. “You can't do this , Stefan. No,

The atmosphere turned cold and the aura went totally off. Draco had been there all along, listening to Ms Helen as she told the story. Shivers ran down my spine upon realizing what that meant as he slowly walked into the kitchen fully, in the company of Lincoln and Frank. I could see Ms Helen trembling in fear. That really explained why she was reluctant in telling me the story. “I'm sorry, Don. I'm so sorry sir. Please don't hurt me, it won't happen again!”. She kept bowing in pleas, begging for her life. I already knew that he would harm her because for her to be begging like that, it was obvious that she was really scared of what Draco might do to her. “Of course it won't happen again. I won't give you the opportunity to tell the story of what's gonna happen to you”. He said coldly, walking menacingly towards her. I hurriedly pushed myself to stand in the gap between the both of them. He was almost two inches close to her when I squeezed in my body betwee

A new day slipped through the midnight and then, morning came. That morning was surrounded by heat in the city of Spokane. The winter season was just around the corner and the city happened to be one of the early recipients of the weather. Don Juan had started counting the days. He had done his calculations and Jeremy had tipped him on the recent happenings in Draco's villa. Lorna would use that poison today. Vivienne noticed Juan’s expectant grin and mood that morning. She was starting to fear him and had realised how selfish the man who she once loved had become. They weren't even in close talking terms for the main time. She had learnt that the Mafias are meant to be dreaded, so she wanted to play a smart one. “Juan “ she called gently, seeing him standing near the high windows of his upper living area. He didn’t turn , even though he heard her. Don Juan felt she wasn't standing by his side anymore, she just wanted her daughter but didn't care about how the said

“That's a bad idea” . I simply stated after being mute for a while. “You're the one looking at it that way. He'll appreciate your honesty and tactfully work on destroying the enemy here, the other Don “. She was making sense actually, but this wouldn't work on someone like a mafia heir. He would even get paranoid on realizing that I was actually involved in the hotel incident and punish me. The truth will set you free, they say , but the truth will only lead you into damnation when it concerns some people. “You don't understand, Ava. Let's say you're right concerning my feelings for Ray, what if he doesn’t feel that way? Imagine how bloody it'll get when someone you don't have a thing for reveals she has been following orders against you? Also, I'm not the only one in on this. He's using one of Draco's men as an informant. The guy, Jeremy, has been the one taking me to see Don Juan and take instructions . If he finds out I haven't done the job, he'll notify the Don. That
