Mafia King novel Chapter 37

Dante

"You know Vassily's not the only one who's going to trouble you."

I sighed while rubbing my face with an open palm. "I know."

"Nonetheless, he's right. Sol is a name either they fear or adore and they will find the one who owns it. I don't think you don't know what happens after that."

"I know." I mused. "You can't stay here, Leo. I can't let you drag down with me. Just because I quit doesn't mean you have to."

He snorts in response. It held sarcasm and amusement at the same time. "What the hell are you saying, Angelo? Just because you quit doesn't also mean you have the right to decide for me." He steps towards me, placing his hand on my shoulder showing his support. "I wish nothing more than to support you, fratello mio. I will follow you- willingly."

My lips lifted upward in amusement. "So you'd rather live an ordinary and normal life than living a life in thrill?" His hand retracted before shrugging.

"What do you think? You chose this life over wealth and fame. I'm gonna choose mine with my best friend." I stood stunned at his answer. Leo has always been loyal to the family- to me but I didn't know he was this loyal to me.

I shook my head in amusement, letting out a laugh. "I didn't know you are this loyal to me, Leo. No wonder Hailynn was jealous of you."

Leo's face suddenly frowned. "The hell, Angelo."

My arm went around his shoulder as we went inside the house for breakfast. Just in time when Leo and I took our seat, Hailynn walked in the dining room who had just changed from her pajamas.

I was staring at her when she walked towards her seat and sat down. My eyes didn't remove from her even though she already started eating her breakfast. I was woken up when I felt Leo nudging me.

"What?" I growled. Both eyes widened and gave me a startled look.

Hailynn stopped eating and eyed me as if I was crazy. I cleared my throat suddenly feeling awkward because of my overreaction.

"Is there something wrong?" She asked with a frown.

Of course there is! We haven't talked properly ever since you ignored me. Leo was shaking his head in amusement but resumed eating anyway.

"No. Eat your breakfast, amore. Do you feel nauseous or anything?"

She shook her head. "I'm fine now."

"Come, amore mio." I instantly wrapped her around my arms, kissing and embracing her possessively.

After our breakfast, I pulled her back to our bedroom. I wanted to talk to her since she had ignored me last night. I couldn't sleep thinking about her and the twins.

"I hope you... ignored whatever you heard from Vassily. He was just being a brat." I didn't let her go as I spoke. I wanted to say believed but let's face it. What Vassily had said was true.

"I heard him right, Dante. You know he only spoke the truth. Why do you think I was angry at you when I learned I got pregnant? I didn't want to live a life knowing our lives will always be in danger. Yet you surprised me by deciding that you left everything of the mafia behind for me."

I cupped her cheeks with my hands as I looked at her beautiful soulful eyes. "So you trust me then?"

Hailynn grinned. "I do." She then placed her arms around my neck. Her huge bump was pressed against my belly. "For once, I wanted to let you decide not basing on my feelings, Dante. That's why I let you be."

I couldn't resist an ear splitting smile. My hands couldn't stop roaming around her back affectionately. "Let's be real, amore. Solo tu."

Her eyebrows knitted in a frown. "Only you, amore." I bent down and captured her lips

Hailynn

Yesterday with Vassily.

"You alright?"

Leo ran after me and followed me to the bedroom. He crouched down with one knee bended to the floor as I sat down on the bed.
