บททั้งหมดของ Entangled With The Mafia Underboss : บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Chapter 31{ALESSANDRO}“Alessandro!” I heard someone call my name as they lightly tapped me on the back, and a loud groan left my mouth as I opened my eyes.“What is it?” I grumbled as I raised my head. My eyes fell on Maria, and she was looking at me with a worried look on her face.“Did you sleep in the office? Don't tell me you worked all night.” Maria asked, and I looked around. I had indeed fallen asleep in my office.I remembered telling Caterina I was going to sleep on the couch, but when I couldn't fall asleep on time, I returned to my office to continue working, and I must have fallen asleep at one point. It looked like we were in the afternoon now with the way light was pouring into my office.“Yeah, Maria. I slept in the office, but I didn't work all night.” I responded, and she raised a brow. I knew she didn't believe me because I was notorious for working for an extended period of time when I got fixated on something, so she knew I was lying.“Right. I'll choose to belie

Chapter 33{CATERINA}A few minutes passed, and I was finally done with my food. I let out a low burp as I dropped the glass that was previously filled with water. I looked up to find Alessandro staring at me with a weird look on his face.“Why are you looking at me like that?” I quizzed, and he looked away from me.“I was looking at how bad you are at etiquette. Don't you know you are supposed to cover your mouth when you burp? Act like a lady, Caterina,” Alessandro ranted, and I sneered at him.“Oh, I'm sorry if I looked like a mannerless riffraff to you. I never knew I was in the presence of the etiquette police!” I snapped, standing up in anger. The chair scraped loudly against the floor as I did, and Alessandro winced.“The problem with you is that you don't listen. You are so unteachable,” he grunted, and I huffed.“I refuse to be taught by you,” I snapped once again, and he rolled his eyes.“Whatever. Come with me to your new room,” he murmured as he started walking out of the

Chapter 35{ALESSANDRO}I was in my office, my eyes fixated on the file in my hands.The missing shipment.For the past twenty minutes, I had been going over every detail, trying to figure out what went wrong. The shipment was supposed to arrive at Pier 17 last night, but it never made it. No calls. No explanations. Just gone.I ran a hand down my face. This wasn’t some small-time deal—we were talking about millions in product. Either someone had messed up, or someone had talked.Before I could look through the next page, the office door burst open.“Boss—”Luca.The second I saw his face, I knew it was bad. He never looked serious unless shit was going sideways.“What?” I asked, closing the file.He barely took a breath before saying, “The Feds are at the docks.”I stilled. “What?”“They raided Pier 17 about ten minutes ago. Stefano and Rocco were there, but they couldn’t do anything. The cops are all over the place.”I pushed back my chair, standing. “They find anything?”They would

Chapter 37{CATERINA}It had been about three days since I gained my freedom in Alessandro's house. There wasn't much to do, so all I did was sleep, eat, walk around the house, talk to Maria, eat, and sleep again. It was extremely boring, and I was quickly getting tired of it. I needed some sort of excitement in my life, but I had no idea how to get it since I was quite literally being held hostage.The more days that passed, the more I missed my life back at my father's mansion. I missed going on missions, torturing information out of traitors, the weekly gathering where we drank and had fun, and everything that came with being a member of my father's gang, The Royal Death Tribe. I missed my father and Shadow a lot, too. And I wondered if they have made any conscious effort to look for me.It was weird that I'd been gone for weeks, and nobody seemed to care about my disappearance. I was the freaking daughter of the leader of the most notorious gang in New York City, but I'd been kidn

Chapter 39{CATERINA}My body tensed up as I heard a small hiss as Alessandro twisted open the ointment bottle.“I'm going to apply it now. It might sting a little, but try not to flinch,” Alessandro said calmly, and I took in a deep breath.“I won't flinch,” I responded, my voice a bit shaky because of how tense I was.“Alright,” he mumbled and went silent for a minute.The next thing I felt was his warm breath against my back as he leaned close, followed by the coolness of his fingers as he applied the ointment on my bruise. His fingers felt cold against my lower back, and his touch was unexpectedly gentle. Goosebumps spread all over my body as I felt his feathery touch.The ointment stung a little like he said, but his gentle touch numbed the sting. It was soothing, and the coolness of his fingers and ointment instantly made the injury feel better. I released a shaky breath as he massaged the ointment into my skin. It hurt a bit, but it was a good kind of hurt.I wasn't feeling as
