Lahat ng Kabanata ng Claimed By The Mafia Brothers : Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

"How can I even dare to find solace in the man that killed my father? He ruined my life!" -- Silence dominated the car as they drove down the free and empty road. Neither of them had anything to say to each other yet their minds were trolled with questions and thoughts of each other. Diego felt so uneasy being there with her but he didn't want to make it obvious. Actually, he had been trained to hide his discomfort ever since he was little. His younger ages were times he didn't like to think of, he didn't even want to remember anything about his past at all. He wasn't the sentimental type. The things he had gone through to get to where he was now though, they stuck with him like a disgusting hungry leech sucking him dry. How he had to prove himself to his father while Chase focused on his career, he wasn't jealous of his brother, he just had it harder because of the responsibilities on his shoulders. Being chosen as the next don from the age of 12 was no easy task,

“Vero amore… True love.”–Diego felt good seeing his old-time friend again; they didn’t get to see each other so often because of the nature of their jobs.Although Amir wasn’t too dedicated to the mafia ways anymore, he had almost pulled out completely ever since he got someone he wanted to protect with his life.His wife.Now they were expecting their first child.Diego was happy for his friend. He owned a private company and ran it with his wife. Amir practically lived an ordinary life now, except for sometimes when he was needed by Diego. He always pulled up for his friend.After Diego risked his life for him, Amir said he owed him his life and would do anything to pay him back, even if it meant giving him his life back.“Amir, my friend,” Diego said. “Take care of her; she’s feisty.”“Can’t be as feisty as Aminah, though,” Amir said, and they both laughed.Aminah was Amir’s wife.Diego waved them goodbye and turned to leave, but little hands suddenly grabbed him.“Wait!” Rebecca

“The evil of politics and tug of power is more overwhelming than any other evil.”–Rebecca felt her blood run cold.Had they already discovered her before she could even do anything? She felt sweat trail down her back and beads of sweat formed on her forehead.She gulped uneasily and tried to notice if anyone else was looking at her. Was it that obvious that she didn’t fit in?“Don’t panic,” a voice in her head said. “It’s not you.” The voice assured.It took a moment for her to calm down and realize that it was Diego who was talking to her. She wanted to ask him how he knew but he read her mind and answered her.“It’s a drill,” he added.Her eyebrows furrowed. What did he mean by that?Almost as if he read through her mind again, he started to explain to her.“It’s a ritual, they say things like that to see who will react. Don’t react. Act naturally. You’re not an imposter, no one there is. You are Sophia Clark and you are exactly where you are meant to be.”Somehow, his words felt

“Hurting you is the only way out for you. Pain is salvation.” – Diego watched as bitter tears rolled down her face. All she wanted to do was provide him with solace, but he didn’t need it. He didn’t need her. The only way to make her go away was to convince her to go away on her own. His hand slipped away from her skin as she created a distance between them, but he didn’t try to stop her from leaving. His face grew cold, just like he wanted it to be. “Don’t talk to me like you know me, Cattivella, you don’t. To me, you don’t even have a name. Your name is whatever I call you. You’re an object. “So next time, make sure you do everything you’re told to do like the puppet that you are, or else it is going to cost you so much more than you could ever imagine.” With that, he turned to walk away, but her words stopped him. “What more could it cost me?” She asked in a soft and trembling tone. Her tears poured down her face without control. “What more do I have that you could possibl

“I’ll do anything for her.”–Diego fought through every obstacle standing in his way, from humans to doors, he knocked them out of his way until he arrived at the one that was holding her hostage.As he broke down the door, his eyes landed on his Cattivella and his heart broke.She looked so frightened and alone. Tears had wet her face and her eyes had turned red from crying.“Rebecca…” Her name left his lips in a soft whisper.She burst into tears as she saw him. She couldn’t move. She wanted to run to him but couldn’t.Like an animal, she was chained to the ground.Diego felt like his entire system had fallen out of control. How could they dare to treat her that way?He walked towards her and crouched down next to her, feeling his heart bleeding from the sight he saw.“How could they…” He muttered, fighting back the tears that threatened to fall down his eyes.He dared not to break down in her presence.“Diego…” She whimpered.He pulled the padlock holding the chain together with a
