Semua Bab Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don : Bab 141 - Bab 148

Lorenzo paced back and forth across the entrance of his father's study, his phone gripped tightly in his hand, the screen lit up with Raina's contact information and a red "Not Reachable" notice glaring back at him for what felt like the hundredth time.He tried Maxton's number next, jabbing at the screen with growing frustration. And still got the same result…He was also not reachable.Even Carlos and Pascal were no different. He sighed heavily and dialed Carlos's number again. Carlos's phone rang but no one picked but the others didn't ring at all."Come on," he muttered under his breath, while running a hand through his hair. "Pick up…Just pick up the damn phone!."He'd been trying for hours now, ever since Carlos had gone silent on the phone that morning and promising updates that never came. The silence was eating at him, gnawing at every worst-case scenario his mind could conjure.In the study, Michael was not faring better. The Don, who is usually so composed and measured in ev

Raina was just a few inches away from the ground when Lorenzo caught her. He pulled her into his arms and his hands trembled slightly as he couldn't imagine what would have happened if she had fallen down.“Are you okay?” Maxton's anxious voice came from the side as he finally got to where they were standing.“I…. I'm…I'm fine” Raina stuttered as she still couldn't believe what just happened.She pulled out of Lorenzo's arms and buried her face in Maxton's chest. He held her and breathed deep breaths of relief.“Why would you run? What if you had actually fallen down? Did you even think of your safety and that of the baby's?” He asked her angrily after making sure she was really okay.Raina lowered her eyes and remained in his embrace without saying anything. She just kept quiet and Maxton sighed and hugged her again.“I didn't mean to yell at you..I was just worried about you” he whispered and she nodded.“Let's go inside, the weather is quite cold” Michael's voice came from the side

The guards moved quickly, each grabbing one of Bailey's arms and hauling her up from the floor. She thrashed against their grip, her earlier spoiled attitude was completely forgotten now that reality of what was happening truly sank in."No! Wait, please!" she screamed, digging her heels uselessly against the marble floor as they dragged her toward the hallway. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean it, please, someone help me! Maxton, please, I'm begging you!"Her voice grew more frantic with every step, echoing off the high ceilings of the sitting room until it finally faded down the corridor, swallowed by distance and the heavy doors closing somewhere in the back of the villa.Raina stood quietly through all of it, watching without a single word leaving her lips. She didn't feel the need to gloat, didn't feel the need to add anything to what had already happened. Bailey had dug her own grave with her mouth, and there was nothing left for Raina to say that would make the situation any more or le

Lorenzo drove extremely fast, weaving through traffic with a recklessness that would have earned him a stern lecture from Michael, if he had been sitting beside him. But he didn't care right now as the fury simmering in his chest demanded speed and something to burn off the adrenaline coursing through his veins.Twenty minutes later, he pulled up outside a high-end bar tucked along the east side of the city, the kind of place with dim lighting, discreet valets, and private rooms meant for people who preferred their business, and their affairs, kept far from prying eyes.He tossed his keys to the valet without a word and strode through the entrance, ignoring the hostess who tried to greet him at the door. His eyes scanned the layout quickly, and he moved with purpose toward the back hallway, following the room number that had been included at the end of that infuriating text message.He found the door easily enough and pushed it open without bothering to knock.Inside, a woman sat cur
