THE MAFIA KING'S DESIRE - CHAPTER 10
{Tears}
Caterina was shocked by his words. She never knew that Adriano had such an awful family
“How could you send people to $h00t my brother? What did he do to you?” Caterina cried out.
“Well, he was collateral damage. That’s what you gain when you seduce a man that’s not your class!” Mr Salvatore spat, holding her chin tighter.
“I didn’t seduce Adriano. He came after me. He said that he liked me and I tried pushing him away but he persisted!” Caterina cried, still struggling with the men that held her.
“Aww, so you are now the victim,” Mr Salvatore laughed. “Stop being a hypocrite and just say that you are after his money,”
“Why should I be after money that has so much sorrow attached to it? I am with your son Adriano because I like him and he feels more happy when he’s with me,” Caterina muttered with tears flooding her cheeks.
“Don’t you care about his happiness? Is it just about the money and connections? Don’t you have enough money to last you a lifetime!”
“I’m sure that Adriano has sacrificed a lot, just to be a mafia king and be what he is today. Doesn’t he deserve to have some affection, care, and joy in his life, must he always be surrounded by money or unhappiness? Why are you so eager to make him as bitter as you?”
“Shut your mouth!” He released her chin and gave her a resounding slap.
Caterina’s lips tore and blood dripped out of it. She cried harder, hoping that someone would see her brother and help him. She didn’t want Noah to die.
He might annoy her but he had always been kind and protective to her. He had always helped her. She remembered when he helped her when she was in school.
If he died, she would never forgive herself.
“Noah,” Caterina sobbed.
Mr Salvatore grabbed her chin again and sneered. “I can send my people to help your brother. I can also change my mind about making you my sÄ™x toy and destroying your life, all you’ve got to do is to leave my son and reject his feelings,”
If Mr Salvatore had told Caterina this when she thought of Adriano as creepy then she would instantly agree, but now she liked him. She couldn’t deny it anymore.
It felt like all her feelings for Fabio had disappeared.
“Leave my son alone and I’ll leave you and your family alone or do you want your parents to die as well?”

Isadora took Fabio to her parents’ house. Their leave from work started at the same time, so Isadora decided to introduce Fabio as her boyfriend.
“This house is huge,” Fabio commented as he walked into the mansion. “Where are you parents?”
“They are in the dining room, having breakfast,” Isadora replied and took Fabio there.
“Good morning, Father, mother
” Isadora greeted them and held Fabio’s hand.
“Good morning,” Fabio greeted.
Isadora’s parents looked at Fabio and her mother asked, “who is he?”
“He is my boyfriend. He’s also a colleague at work,” Isadora introduced him with a fake smile on her lips.
“What did you see in him?” her father asked.
“He isn’t even handsome,” Her mother frowned and gave Fabio a disgusted look.
“I fell in love with his personality, not his looks,” Isadora responded.
Fabio was shocked by her words. He didn’t expect her to agree that he was unattractive or ugly.
He suddenly felt bad and remembered how Caterina used to tell him that he was the most handsome man alive.
“What’s your name?” Her father asked.
“My name is Fabio Giuseppe,” He replied with a shaky smile on his lips.
“Why are you asking for his name? I don’t want him for my daughter. He’s not that attractive and I’m sure that he’s nothing but a salary earner. Can he even afford her P@?tî???”
Fabio had never felt humiliated in his life. He recalled again how Caterina used to talk about living on the streets with him. She didn’t care if he had money or not.
He didn’t know why he was remembering Caterina but he suddenly missed the attention she used to give him. He also missed her compliments and praises, he missed everything about her.

Adriano was wondering why Caterina was late, so he decided to call Mateo.
‘Why is Caterina not here? Hasn’t she left home?’.
‘I was about to call you boss. I’m presently in the hospital where her brother is. He was shot and I think Caterina has been captured,’ Mateo replied, his voice shaky.
‘What do you mean by that? I told you to put your best men to protect her and her family!” Adriano yelled in anger.
“Boss, please calm down. I don’t think that the men were ki||ed. I think that someone else is involved and the only one that has always interfered with our people is your father. He must have paid them off and thr_@tened them into submission.” Mateo replied.
‘I’m going ki|| him,’ Adriano snarled. ‘I’m going to ki|| him!!!’.
Adriano ended the call and grabbed his things. He rushed out of the office and left his company like a mad man.
He got to his parents’ house and rushed to his father’s study room.
He kicked open the door and pointed a gun at his father.
“Where is Caterina?” He yelled, but then he noticed her seated at the corner of the study room.
Adriano rushed to her and asked, “Are you okay?”
Caterina looked at him with teary eyes.
“Caterina, tell him what you told me,” Mr Salvatore urged and lit up a cigarette.
“I…don’t want to be with you anymore. I can’t keep putting my family in danger because of you. Please stay away from me and forget about me,” Caterina sobbed.
“Tesoro,” Adriano gasped.
“We can never be together. I don’t want to get hurt anymore…” Caterina sobbed and moved away from him.
