The Mafia King's Contract Bride のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

SERAKai stood in front of the hallway when I got out of my room. I was dressed for work and ready for the day but my mind was still at the Fashion Show venue, right at that hallway where Marcus had decided it was the best place and time to say those words to me. I wanted to feel happy, I mean my feelings for him were finally getting reciprocated. But I didn't, so I felt guilty, guilty of what I couldn't really point out. “Good morning, Ma'am,” Kai greeted me and I rolled my eyes at him. “Stop it Kai,” I scolded and he chuckled lightly.I walked towards the dining room and halted when I didn't see anyone there, I turned to Kai and he shrugged then.“Boss and Matteo left earlier,” he explained and I nodded.“And Christy?”She had come into my room last night, and we talked about Marcus until I fell asleep This morning, I woke up to her note, where she of course didn't mention that she'd be missing breakfast.“Miss Christy went with them,” Kai said and I creased my forehead. What was

SERA“How prepared are you for tomorrow?” Kai suddenly asked from the driver's seat and I sighed.“Prepared, but nervous,” I said and Kai nodded with a smile.“It's your first official assignment and I get that you should be nervous but trust me, Sera, you got this,” he assured and I smiled at him. It's been over a week since I started preparing for tomorrow, over a week since I last saw Marcus, and over a week since I started thinking about what Marcus said about Damian and his brother. Did he really kill his brother? I thought and looked at Kai. I had wanted to ask him, but thought against it, he might not want to tell me and I understood, I considered Christy but it could bring back flashbacks if what Marcus said was actually true. But why would anyone kill his sibling? I thought and just then, the car jerked and I snapped out of my thoughts.“What's wrong?” I asked Kai and he shrugged with a smile.“You seemed lost,” he said and continued driving. “I wanted to get your attention,

DAMIAN Matteo knocked twice and walked into my office, and I finally looked away from the picture I hadn't stopped looking at since yesterday, since Seraphina had said it wasn't my fault. I scoffed and dropped the frame, if only she knew.“Done?” I asked flatly and Matteo nodded. Good. Since Vincenzo wanted me to act, I had acted. I had sent Matteo to deliver a little message to his clan, that way he'd know never to mess with what's mine again, especially Seraphina.“Boss,” Matteo called out and I looked at him, wondering why he still stood there. “I think it's time to invite Gideon over.”“Hmm,” I said and turned my sofa towards him. “ Why so?”“He's gathered enough information and materials that we'll need,” he explained and paused to look at me. “If we let him think he's still not being noticed, he might do something critical.” I looked at him for a few seconds and then turned back towards the laptop. “Invite him then,” I said and Matteo grunted in acceptance. “Unhurt,” I added a

DAMIAN The underboss stood in front of the factory when we got down from the car. I had told Matteo to inform the Florida boss and his gang that we were coming and after a little fuss, they had accepted to hear me out.“Boss,” he greeted as we got closer and I nodded at him. “Where's the don?” Matteo asked and the underboss pointed inside the factory and led us in. I looked around as we walked inside, thinking about the last time I walked into this factory. It was the day Daniel De Luca died, the day I had concluded that my only family was Christina.“Damian De Luca,” the don suddenly said and walked towards us. “Look who decided to come see his old friend.” I stopped then and looked at him, yeah, old friend. Things were going well until his old father decided to fall in love with the woman that gave birth to me.“Vito,” I said flatly and looked around. “Let's get this done and over with.”He looked at me for a second and then burst out laughing.“This is my kingdom, Damian,” he sa

DAMIAN Matteo suddenly cleared his throat and Seraphina took those soft lips of hers away from mine and for a second, I felt empty.“Sorry-” she suddenly whispered, embarrassed but I cut her off.“Don't,” I said and she blinked. “Don't apologise,” I explained and her eyes widened for a second before she slowly nodded. I looked at those lips for one more second before turning to the bastard who just disrupted the moment, if I could, I would have ripped off that throat of his.“Sorry to cut off the little reunion,” he teased and I stared at him hard. “What do we do with him?” He finally asked and I looked at Marcus then. The last time, I had released him just because my bride said so but now, there wasn't a way out for him.“Take him in,” I said, still looking at him. “I handle him myself,” I said but Sera suddenly moved so I turned to her. “What?” I asked flatly and she swallowed.“Nothing,” she whispered and I frowned.“There is obviously something, Seraphina,” I said and she looked
