MY SECRETS WITH A MAFIA SOLDIER 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 11 - 챕터 18

CHIARAAfter breakfast, I went upstairs with Giada, purposely talking about playing a puzzle game with her. Fortunately, Don Salvatore and Riccardo decided to discuss business further in his study. Bianca must have taken Stefano to the art exhibition, so that only meant one thing. The lower floor was currently empty. I led Giada into my bedroom before closing the door shut. Grabbing my bag from the closet, I opened the lower drawer to swipe our passports and some cash I had stashed for emergencies, along with some other necessities before returning to the bed to pack. However, I was careful not to overload the bag since I didn't alert the guards at the entrance. If I was going to escape, I needed to make sure it succeeded at the first atteompt. Else, it would be more difficult to leave this hellhole again. My hands trembled when I tried to zip the bag but it was currently stuck. Giada got off the bed and closed the distance to help me, but then her eyes landed on the bruises on m

STEFANOFuck.Fuck, fuck, fuck."Stefano, can you stop pacing like that?" Bianca snapped, her voice sharp. "You're acting like she fled the country or something. Isabella just took her sister to get some desserts. That's it."I ignored her comment and continued trying to call the driver. That was the information I had gotten from him before we left, but now even he was not picking up my calls. My instincts kept warning me that something bad was going to happen, and I couldn't just ignore it.My mind went back to the memory of my uncle's wife sitting at the breakfast table. She looked so miserable and broken that I thought she might actually do something unreasonable, like kill herself after discovering what kind of monster she married.Turns out I was wrong.She was trying to run away instead.And that was a very bad idea. Although my uncle's wedding had been private, most of the underground world was aware that he had taken a second wife. If she fled now, unnecessary questions would

STEFANOI flexed my jaw as I drove Chiara and her sister back to the Romano mansion. My face still stung from the earlier slap she gave me, but at least she was no longer entertaining the idea of using her body to bargain her freedom. If it were any of my men, they would have probably agreed a long time ago. She was very attractive and her alluring figure was enough to drive any man to temptation. Including me. My hands tightened on the steering wheel. I didn't like the fact that this woman was getting under my skin. From the moment I saw her at the chapel, I hadn't been able to get her off my mind. I had no business being concerned about her actions, but somehow I ended chasing her across the city. Not that she would have made it very far. My uncle would not stop until he recovered her, dead or alive. And anyone with her would also suffer the same fate. My eyes drifted to the rearview mirror where Chiara was currently holding her sleeping sister. She hadn't spoken a single word s

CHIARA As the door clicked shut behind the last of the employees, the atmosphere in the office shifted dramatically, leaving Don Salvatore and me alone in a thick, charged silence. He stood, his broad shoulders filling the space with an imposing presence, and pulled me into his firm, muscled chest, enveloping me in his warmth. A shiver ran through me as he began to place soft, lingering kisses along the sensitive skin of my neck. “Have I told you that you look absolutely stunning, mia cara moglie?” he murmured, his breath warm against my ear. “I thought you would come to find me after breakfast, but instead, you chose to spend time with your sister?” A startled gasp escaped my lips when his hand descended lower, squeezing my backside with an unexpected firmness. He buried his face in the curve of my shoulder, a low chuckle vibrating through his chest as he drew me closer. I struggled to relax, forcing my gaze to the far wall, tracing the intricate patterns carved into the polishe
