The Mafia's Forbidden Obsession 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 21 - 챕터 30

Chapter 22 Eva's Pov The breeze of the night brushed my face. I stood on the sidewalk. Different thoughts in my mind. Could I trust Victor or not? What was in the delivery? What was he making me do? And why was my name in the letter I handed to Luca? I saw it clearly and Luca's reaction was off. How were they connected? I flagged a taxi down, but none stopped and the street was already getting cleared. Night was approaching faster. I grabbed my phone and booked a cab. Twenty minutes before arrival. I leaned against the cold brick wall, my arms crossed tight over my chest. The thoughts clouded my mind. For three days. I hadn’t stepped foot in my apartment. What was happening? Had dad tried contacting me? Has my mum returned? And didn't find me home ? Or has my landlord finally changed the locks or thrown me out. I was still in thoughts, when a hand closed around my upper arm, pulling me sideways into the narrow alley between the clinic and the laundromat next door before I coul

Chapter 24Eva's PovI wasn't going to cry anymore. If the world decides to be cruel to me? Then so be it. I accept the cruelty of the world.The bus station went dark. The lights were out and only one thing kept me standing. Anger. Revenge. Zee's heels clicked away. How she had deceived me. I always thought we could be best of friends, but I was shocked by the act she just displayed.I stayed on the cold concrete. My phone screen still glowed with the photo of my mother. Tied to that chair. The knife at her throat.I had until midnight tomorrow to save her life. Thirty thousand dollars, all had been stolen from me today.I had nothing. Not even cab fare.A car suddenly pulled up. I didn't look up. I didn't care anymore. The door opened and footsteps walked towards me. A flashlight in my face."Eva." It was Luca. He crouched beside me. His hand touched my shoulder."I called your line over and over, you didn't answer. So I guessed something was wrong."I couldn't speak. I didn't know

Chapter 26 – Eva's Pov"I believe you know Adrian." The name landed like a stone in my chest. My heart skipped. I got to my feet immediately. I didn't take his hand."Mr. Elliot," I said slowly, backing away. "You must be mistaken. I don't know anyone with that name."Elliot's smile didn't waver. "I see you are a smart one. Did he tell you to keep it a secret too? Men like Adrian use naive girls like you all the time." He said it like he was stating the weather. Like my secrets were obviously written on my face."Adrian Moretti." He let the name hang. "The man you signed a contract with three years ago and warmed his bed. Your secret love. That is the man."My throat tightened. I took steps backward. This man was here for something. The wall behind me was cold. There was no exit or escape. Just him."How do you know all that?"He tilted his head. "I make it my business to know everything about the people my family destroys."He stepped closer. The alley light caught his face. And I sa

Chapter 28Adrian's PovThe unknown number kept sending images of Eva unaware.In 48 hours, Marcus was finally able to get information about it."The number's a burner. It's untraceable. But the photo's metadata gave us a location." He had said to me.My chest thumped immediately. The night after the incident with Eva and Victor… After I shot two men dead… I saw the look of fear on her face and had promised myself not to use the gun again. But not now. I would handle this matter myself."Where, Marcus? Share the location." I threw my suit over my shoulder, ready to step out."It's an abandoned warehouse, sir. In one of Victor's districts. Same ping we got from Eva's phone." I was already moving now.—·—·—The Bentley cut through the streets. Marcus drove. I sat in the back, the photo of Eva still open on my phone."Boss." Marcus's voice was tight. "There's something you should know before we get there.""Tell me.""The location. It's not just a warehouse. I searched it up. It's a fron

Chapter 30 Adrian's PovThe penthouse still smelled of Marisa after she left. Her scent clung to the sheets, but all I could taste was the wrongness of it.What had I done?Eva's face wouldn't leave me alone… her laughter and everything. I sat on the edge of the bed, shirt half-buttoned, staring at the city lights through the window.Calling it off with Marisa had seemed simple last night. I planned to have just one conversation. I believed she would understand and move on. But the words she had dropped about her heart episodes, about Elliot's threats, twisted in my gut.I wasn't the man who left a woman to the wolves. Especially not when those wolves wore my family's name.My phone buzzed. It was Marcus."Boss, we got the shooter from last night. Warehouse on the east side. He's not talking yet, but my boys are... persuasive.""Good. Keep him breathing until I get there. I want names. Who sent him. Everything. Be detailed." I ended the call and stood.The movement sent a familiar sh
