All Chapters of Forced to Bear the Mafia Heir: Chapter 11 - Chapter 18

Time and again, Anna tried to convince herself that Xavier had asked her to come to his room tonight simply to discuss the details of their agreement from that morning. But the more she speculated, the more her thoughts began to haunt her.Why had Xavier asked her to meet him in the middle of the night? Did he have other intentions? What if the man threatened her again with the barrel of a gun?Anna was consumed by anxiety as her feet carried her down the corridor, until her steps halted in front of Xavier’s door. She swallowed all her doubts as her hand pushed the door open and she stepped into the dimly lit room.Anna intended to wrap up her conversation with Xavier quickly that night, but she found no sign of him in his room. She sighed softly when she saw the clock on the wall showing 10:45 PM.​A cynical snort escaped her lips. He’d threatened her if she was late, yet now he was nowhere to be found in his room. How could he be so inconsiderate?A frown of irritation crossed Anna’

​After the waiter left, Anna could only stand frozen in the doorway. The message he had just left had somehow managed to leave her emotions completely shattered.“Aloist,” she murmured. The name Aloist swirled in her mind, it sounded familiar, until a moment later, her heart began to race and her pupils dilated as a memory of a major event from the past flooded her mind.She recalled the tragedy from ten years ago, when one night turned into a massacre as Aloist slaughtered every government official who dared interfere with him.The city had once been paralyzed by his terror, a massacre that brought the law to its knees leaving not a single official daring to touch him. Aloist Vanderbilt was a true demon. And what shocked her even more, What nearly made him fall to the floor was the fact that he was Xavier’s grandfather.At first, Anna had thought Xavier was just an ordinary mobster. Who would have guessed he was the sole heir to the Vanderbilt dynasty! If Xavier inherited all of his

The Moretti Family Residence – 11:00 a.m.She paid no heed to the light rain falling on the backyard of the Moretti mansion. The black dress clinging to her body was already half-soaked as she crept through the backyard toward the back door, the only safe route she could use to enter without being stopped by the guards.It was ironic, really she had to sneak in like a thief, fear of being caught weighing on every step, just as she was trying to enter her own family’s home.The narrow evacuation passage and the dirty corridor by the storeroom were the only ways Anna could reach her grandfather’s room without running into guards or servants.The room was now filled with the scent of incense. Not a single soul was on watch there. All the family members were busy in the main hall, frantically preparing the funeral details, handling the arrival of important guests, and dealing with the chaos of the circulating news. Her grandfather was now left alone, as if his presence mattered no more tha

Hotel Luxe Monumentale, Zone 9 (Porta Garibaldi-Isola), Milan – 7:00 p.m.The light from the crystal chandelier adorning the room’s ceiling appeared hazy to Anna. Her vision felt like it was spinning. The burning pain in her arm continued to throb, causing a sensation that left her entire body weak. Her breathing grew weaker amid the incessant whimpers escaping her lips.The sharp scent of medication stung her senses. Anna winced as she watched the doctor pull out a surgical needle.“The wound on your arm is very deep, Miss." The tear is wide and will require at least twelve stitches to close it properly,” the doctor said as he pressed the edges of the wound with gauze, causing Anna to wince reflexively as her exposed flesh was rubbed again.“However, based on the results of the brief examination just now, your anemia is quite concerning. Your blood pressure is too low, so I can’t risk administering anesthesia, neither local nor general. The risk of cardiac compromise is simply too g
