THE MAFIA KING'S DESIRE - CHAPTER 11
{Away from his Tesoro}
“Tesoro, you don’t have to be scared of anything. Your brother has been admitted to the hospital. He will be fine, okay?” Adriano reassured.
“Noah has been hospitalized, he isn’t dead??” Caterina gasped and sprang up.
Adriano stood as well and nodded. “He’s receiving treatment, you’ve got nothing to fear. I’ll give you and your family more protection, I promise,”
He was desperate to keep her by his side. He was already gaining her love, he didn’t want to lose her.
“I don’t want your promises. I just want my family to be safe, they are all I have. I don’t want to be with anyone that would cause them pain,” Caterina sobbed, shaking her head. “I’ve had enough,”
Adriano’s heart sank to his stomach and he gazed at her, unable to say anything. His men had failed to protect her and her family twice. He didn’t expect her to believe anything he said.
“Do you really want me to stay away from you, or are you saying this because of him?” Adriano asked, pointing the gun at his father.
‘I don’t want you to stay away from me. I want to hear your voice, talk with you all day. I want to hear you call me’ Tesoro mio’, I want you to look at me with those gorgeous eyes, like I was the most beautiful woman alive. I want to have something stronger with you, but I can’t choose you over my family…’ Caterina thought and tears rolled down her cheeks.
“This is my decision. I don’t want to be with you or see you anymore. I will send my resignation via email and if you don’t keep your distance from me, I’m going to order a restraining order against you,” Caterina sniffed.
Mr Salvatore smiled, watching everything unfold.
“Okay,” Adriano shockingly accepted. “I understand you…”
“If you want to see your brother, you can find him at the saint’s hospital,” Adriano muttered and brought out his wallet.
He gave her all the money in it and said, “Go,”
Caterina gazed at him for the last time and ran out of the study room.
Adriano slowly closed his eyes, his heart shattering to pieces.
“It wasn’t that hard to break up with her. What am I saying? You didn’t even—”
His words were cut short as Adriano shot him in the arm.
He fell off the chair, holding his arm in pain.
“You dared to $h00t me!” Mr Salvatore looked at him in disbelief.
“You had to push her away, like you’ve done any good thing in my life. You and mama have been the worst parents ever but it doesn’t even bother either of you. You don’t even care if I suffer or not,” Adriano said, pain evident in his voice.
“I’m going to make both of you pay for taking away the only person that could make me happy. Suffering and misery will be your meals from today onwards,” Adriano said, angrily.
Mr Salvatore was taken aback by the devilish look in his eyes.
Adriano lowered his gun and stormed out of the study room.

Three weeks later
“Where are they?” Adriano inquired.
Mateo, his right hand man, took him to a room.
He walked in and saw the guards that had left Caterina unprotected. They were tied up.
Adriano didn’t say anything to them, he simply demanded a knife from Mateo and walked to one of them. Adriano stabbed him in his temple (the side of his head) and the other shivered in fear.
He pulled out the knife and bløød splashed. He walked to the second one and widened his legs a bit.
“Sir Adriano please,” He muffled.
Adriano suddenly stabbed his dîčk and the remaining two were frightened.
“I want their bødies to be chopped and pictures should be taken to everyone, so that whoever tries to betray me, will think twice,” Adriano spat.
He walked to another guard and slîced open his cheek open. Adriano used the knife to end each one of them.
Afterward, he returned the knife to Mateo and left the room.
As he was about to leave the place completely, his father came rushing into the hideout.
“Adriano, you’re crossing your limits!” Mr Salvatore growled.
He reached his son and yelled angrily.
“Why are you trying to make your mother and I homeless and poor!” Mr Salvatore yelled.
Adriano had been doing everything to ruin him. He even went to the extent of revealing an important secret and the best part was his father’s inability to say any secrets about Adriano.
He hardly knew his own son.
“Adriano, stop this. Your mother has a high BP and losing everything we’ve worked for, will drive her crazy,” Mr Salvatore lamented.
“I don’t care. If she wants to get a cardiac arrest, she can go ahead. I’m not stopping until you both suffer horribly. This is just the beginning,” Adriano smirked wickedly and walked away
‘You are hurting your family because of that woman, right? You still refused to marry Vivian as well,’ Mr Salvatore lamented.
‘I’m going to ki|| her and her entire family, then I’ll make you lose your memories completely. I will find a way to achieve that. You might be a devil, Adriano, but I’m worse,’

Fabio’s house.
Fabio was in his room, tucked under his duvet. He was coughing and shivering terribly. He was having a fever and there was no one around to care for him.
“I’m so cold,” Fabio shivered.
He darted his wet eyes at his phone and picked it up, shakily.
He called Isadora and she finally answered after the 30th call.
‘Why do you keep calling me?’ Isadora yelled.
‘I’m feeling sick,’ Fabio shivered.
‘And so?’
‘What do you mean by that? I’m…sick and I need someone to—’
‘Do I look like a doctor to you?’ Isadora snapped. ‘I am your girlfriend not a babysitter. I won’t care for you. Stop being a man child and go to the hospital!’
‘I want to enjoy my weekend in peace!’
‘Don’t call me again, mtchewww…’ she hissed and hung up.
Fabio removed the phone from his ear and gazed at it in shock. She didn’t even care to ask how he was doing.
He suddenly recalled how Caterina took care of him when he was sick. No matter the insults he gave her, she stayed by his side and cared for him.
He also remembered when she came in the rain to give him some soup.
“Caterina,” He whispered.
“You…were so loving…why was I stupid?” He asked, regretting all the time he pushed her away.
He searched for her name on social media and her picture surfaced. He properly gazed at her and she looked pretty in the picture she had recently posted.
“It seems like you’re not with the boss anymore…this is my chance. My chance to have you back,” Fabio smiled.
