The Mafia King's Contract Bride のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

SERAI walked slowly downstairs for breakfast, surprised at myself for not waking up scared as usual, especially with what had happened yesterday. A gun pointed at me for the second time in weeks, Damian coming through again, and now I was about to get a personal trainer to prepare me for the kind of family I had married into. I sighed and continued walking, whatever life brought for me now, I'd take it. Christy was already seated with Matteo when I walked in but Damian was nowhere to be found. I smiled at Matteo and sat down near Christy.“Good morning,” I whispered and she simply nodded. Was she mad at me? I picked up the cutlery and dug in but the tension wouldn't let me enjoy the food, I looked at Matteo who simply shrugged and then, I turned to Christy again. “Are you mad at me?” I asked but she simply looked at me and picked her cutlery.“Is there a reason to be?” She asked and I shrugged.“I don't know, which is why I'm asking, Christy.” She ignored me and focused on her food

SERA“You need to stretch your legs a little more, ma'am,” The trainer said and I groaned, he smiled then.“You're laughing at me?” I asked with a fake frown and he shook his head. “This is stressful,” I complained and sat on the pavement. This is the second time he'd been here and so far, Kai and I had built a good relationship. I found out on the first day that he was also Damian's personal trainer, that scared me. Why would Damian ask his personal trainer to train me? Was he planning to murder me? “You want water?” He asked and walked towards the desk but I shook my head. “I want you to leave me alone,” I groaned and he chuckled.“You want me dead then,” he said and this time, I chuckled.I turned to him then, “You're scared of him too?” I asked and he turned to me with a raised eyebrow.“Who isn't?” He asked and I shrugged.“Well,” I drawled. “For starters, Matteo and Christy.” He walked closer and dropped the water bottle in front of me. “Matteo is his second in command, they

SERAI moved towards my wardrobe to sort out my clothes for work but I paused midway and sighed. I had been moping around since yesterday, after dinner with my so-called family. When I heard that the killers came for me, I blamed Damian,I felt it was because of the kind of person that he was, but when he said it was my father, I almost lost my breath.I always knew they didn't like me, and I thought they would be glad that I had finally left their space but killing me?‘It was your step mother’ my inner voice reminded me and I sighed, there was no difference and I could swear he knew about it. I walked towards the wardrobe and brought out my clothes. Yesterday taught me one thing, my family never wanted me and still do not want me. I walked towards my bed and dropped the clothes and just then, a knock sounded.“Christy?” I asked and she answered from outside. I had learned to stop assuming it was her because most times when I did that, Damian appeared. I thought about him then, I had

SERAI spent more time on the boxing bag and at some point, my personal trainer sighed deeply.“You do know that you're bullying that bag, right?” he teased and I punched it one more time before I turned to him. “I never knew you had it in you,” he said and I chuckled sadly. I never knew either, not until my stepmother reminded me that my own mother abandoned me to go overdose and then, Damian's words. I sighed and walked towards the trainer. “Some things are better left untold.”What did he mean by those words? I didn't know but I sure knew that he was hiding something and I was going to find out.“Ready for the next?” Kai asked and I stared at him hard.“I just finished one,” I finally said and he shrugged.“Look who finally spoke,” he said as I sat down. “Seeing how determined you are today, I was thinking you didn't want to rest.” I picked up the water bottle and finally smiled at him. “She smiles,” he said and I chuckled.“I smile all the time.”“Except today,” he said and sat

SERAOne minute I was admiring my new car, and the next, my new driver was in a pool of his own blood. It happened fast, so fast I couldn't even get the plate numbers of the car or even the face of the person that shot my new driver. Matteo dragged me out of the car gently and a few minutes later, we were on our way home and the dead driver left like his life didn't matter. I looked at Matteo and he sighed deeply.“He'll be picked up,” he said casually like he'd been reading my mind and I slowly lowered my head. Matteo stopped in front of the building and I hurriedly got down before he could open the door. I stepped down and made my way towards the door but his voice made me halt.“I’m sorry your car was ruined,” he said and I scoffed dryly.“A life was lost, Matteo,” I reminded him, wondering why he kept forgetting that. “Thank your boss for me,” I said and walked in then, my mind still on that scene, at the way he was shot, the way I would have been shot if Matteo didn't come.I o
