Mafia's Forbidden Touch のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Nico:Another hour had passed and we still couldn’t find her…I clenched my jaw, hands tightening on the wheel. “Why did you let her leave? And you call yourself a friend?” I spat, eyes fixed on the road, but I could see the surprised look on her face.“You know what? This isn’t the right time to blame each other! My pregnant friend is out there in the rain! She doesn’t even pick up, which is not like her!” She snapped.I let out a deep breath to calm myself. I hated that tone. I swear if she wasn’t her friend, they’d find her body lying on the road the next morning! “It’s your fault anyway” She rolled her eyes.I snapped my head toward her, “How is that my fault?” “You couldn’t just give her a ride like normal people, you just threw her in the bus station instead” She looked outside the window.“Again, how is that my fault?” I narrowed my eyes, but she simply shook her head.Something told me she wasn’t completely honest with me.“Why did she want to meet me anyway?” I was concerne

Catherine:“Don’t call me that…” I suddenly said, eyes still closed, and his face was still a few inches away from mine.“Why? You seemed to like it very much that night” He ignored me, but my hands pushed his chest a little, making him step back from me.“That night was a big mistake, you know that” I reminded him.“I do know that” The room went silent after he said those words. I didn’t know why I didn’t like him agreeing with me, saying it was a mistake.Stupid pregnancy hormones! My eyes were watering all over again!“Do you want to eat here?” He suddenly asked, but I instantly shook my head in response. Did he think I was that weak? Eating alone wasn’t my thing! I loved to have someone to eat with.“No…” My voice was barely audible, but he heard me.“Let’s go then” He offered me his hand, but I didn’t catch it, instead I turned up the lights of the room.“Where?” I shot him a suspicious look.“To dinner” He answered in a bored tone, which I didn’t blame him for. He started to w

Nico:I leaned even closer, our noses touching…I smirked, but suddenly, her hands shot out to push me back, gentle yet firm.“Good night, Nico” She simply whispered before turning around, leaving me stunned. I got rejected… twice! By the same woman! Me! The one who never gets rejected! I scoffed then headed toward my office. I was busy anyway!I sat at my desk, flipping pages without really reading. I massaged my temple, as if that could erase the moment with Catherine from my mindI was surprised by Malcolm barging into my office, “Thank god!” I breathed out, throwing the file on the desk.“I don’t think you’ll be so pleased of my presence when I tell you what I’m about to tell you” I frowned, “Talk”“One of our men got missing” “Got missing as in lost his way home, or?” I was getting furious, because I knew what he was about to say.“He was transporting the new shipment we’ve been waiting for” He ran his fingers through his hair nervously.That’s when I knew how bad the situati

Catherine:“Woah…That is complicated!” Marcos walked toward the refrigerator.“I’m sorry my brother knocked you up” He said before he grabbed the beer from the fridge then sat on the counter.“When I saw you two earlier, I just thought you were a couple…which kind of made me confused because I never expected Nick to be with someone else, ever again” He explained, then took a sip from his beer, staring blankly at it.“What? What do you mean?” My question made him look at me then realize he had just said too much.“Huh? Oh…You see Nick went through a very toxic and complicated relationship. He barely survived from it” He seemed serious and concerned about his brother for a moment.“Ellen?” His eyes widened as soon as I mentioned her name.“How do you know about Ellen?” His eyes narrowed.“Did he tell you about her?” He shot another question but I simply shook my head in response.“If you want to survive in this place, never ever mention her name here” I was playing with the apple in my

Catherine:My whole body flinched as I recalled the fall from earlier…I gasped, my heart almost skipped a beat.“Hey…everything is fine…” His voice made me crack in tears.Those were the same words he said before he left! He promised!My eyes widened at the realization…My hands were placed on my belly, I was terrified to even ask him.Nico’s eyes were fixed on my belly. The answer was written on his face!“No…no!” I shook my head, tears started to stream down my cheeks, and my heart felt like it had been ripping off my chest.“I’m sorry…” He whispered in my ear, trying to calm me down.It was true that I wasn’t planning on keeping the baby at first, but lately, my heart was starting to catch all those warm feelings to keep it, and even raise it by myself!After a few hours, I was finally starting to accept my faith.I couldn’t save my baby, but I wasn’t going to let the one who killed it live in peace!“Hey there” Anne sneaked in, holding a bouquet of lily flowers.My eyes watered, r
