THE MAFIA KING'S DESIRE - CHAPTER 12
{Amore}
“Can you stop taking pictures in front of my mirror, it’s annoying” Noah frowned at Caterina.
“I can do wh@??ver I like,” Caterina glared at him and continued snapping herself.
“What are you even doing in my room?” Noah glared.
He was on the bed, resting when Caterina came into his room.
“I am here to bother you since I was feeling bored,” Caterina smirked.
“Leave my room, I want to sleep,” Noah said and closed his eyes.
“I am not even disturbing you, if you want to sleep then, stop being a baby,” She glared.
Noah suddenly sat up and was about to throw a pillow at her, but Caterina ran out screaming and laughing.
“Hahaha,” Caterina laughed.
She checked her pictures and smiled.
“I look so pretty,” She sighed and went to her room.
As she got there, she lay on her bed and her face saddened. She thought of Adriano and let out a sigh.
She remembered how he fought that night and suddenly grinned.
“He looked so cool,” She grinned from ear to ear.
Her phone began ringing in her hand and she was shocked when she saw the caller’s name.
“Fabio?” She gasped and sat upright.
‘Hello Fabio,’ Caterina muttered.
‘Hi, where have you been since you resigned?’ Fabio asked.
‘I’m at home, is there a problem?’ Caterina asked.
‘Can you come over?’ Fabio asked.
‘Why should I?’ She asked.
In the past, Caterina would have gone there in a heartbeat.
‘I am sick, I can’t go to the hospital. I feel so weak,’ Fabio complained.
‘Call 112,’ Caterina said, shocking him again.
‘Caterina, please come over…’ Fabio pleaded, surprising Caterina.
‘Okay, fine…I will come over,’ Caterina sighed and hung up.

Fabio’s house.
Caterina got there and began taking care of him.
She was seated on the bed massaging, his head with a wet towel.
“Have you eaten?” Caterina asked.
“No,” Fabio replied, staring at her face.
“You’ve stopped tanning your skin,” He muttered, staring at her fair skin. “You look more prettier like this,”
Caterina stared at him in surprise, that he even called her pretty.
“I have always been pretty whether tanned or fair,” Caterina replied, confidently.
“You should visit the hospital tomorrow.” She added.
“What have you been doing since you left the company?” Fabio asked.
“I’ve been working as a waitress during the week, then I assist my parents during the weekend,” Caterina replied.
“Why did you resign?”
“Nothing,” Caterina muttered and removed the small towel from his head.
Fabio slowly sat up and asked, “Does this have anything to do with Adriano?”
“Fabio, I don’t think that I owe you any explanation. I just came here to make sure that you’re okay and care for you a bit, afterward, you can either call 112 or go to the hospital,” Caterina said, coldly.
Fabio suddenly took his hand to her face, but she moved away. Fabio was stunned by her reaction.
“What is it?”
“I have just been thinking and I…have decided to give us a try…” Fabio said, making his decision to break up with Isadora who treated him like trash.
“Us? What do you mean?” Caterina asked.
“I want us to be a couple,” Fabio replied, surprising her.
“And why should I be with you?” Caterina asked, coldly.
“Caterina, you said that you loved me and I just thought…”
“There’s nothing to think about. I am not in love with you anymore,” Caterina stood up and dropped the wet cloth on the bed.
“What do you mean?” Fabio gasped in shock.
“Maybe I got tired of the constant insults and humiliation, then decided to move on. I am no longer interested in you. I don’t want an arrogant, narcissistic person by my side,” Caterina said and turned to leave.
“Is this because of Adriano? Is it because he’s richer than me?” Fabio asked, feeling annoyed.
“You’re so narrow-minded. This isn’t about Adriano. I am no longer in love with you, leave me alone. Don’t ever call me again, you aren’t a baby. You can take care of yourself,” Caterina uttered coldly and walked away.
Fabio was left speechless, but he was still determined to have her.
“You are still in love with me, you can’t forget me like that,” Fabio smirked.
Meanwhile, Caterina was returning home when a cloth was pressed on her nose. She inhaled the scent and became unconscious.

Caterina woke up, gasping in fear.
“Where am I?” She panicked.
“You’re with me,” She shifted her gaze and saw Adriano. “Adriano,”
“I am sorry for bringing you here like this.” Adriano apologized and walked up to her. “But what is between you and that little ?îtçh? Why did you go to his place? Do you like him again, do you want to start something with him? Have you forgotten me so fast?”
Caterina could have easily said yes and left, but she couldn’t.
“No, I don’t like him, I don’t want to be with him either. I only want to be with you,” She said aloud. Despite her need to keep her family alive, she couldn’t control her heart.
Adriano smiled and rushed to the bed. He moved closer to her and held her face.
“Tesoro, do you want us to get back together? Do you want us to have a secret relationship?” Adriano smiled. “Will you be my girlfriend?”
“Yes, I’ll be your girlfriend.”Caterina smiled and kissed his lips. “Promise me that my family won’t get hurt again,”
“I promise, they won’t get hurt.” Adriano smiled happily and kissed her passionately. “I missed you so much,”
“These three weeks have felt like three decades. I couldn’t stop thinking of you, Amore mio,” Caterina confessed, kissing him.
“I couldn’t stop either, Tesoro,” He whispered and they both lay on the bed.
They kissed more passionately and began removing each other’s clothes.

Mr Salvatore was in a hospital, getting a drug from a doctor.
“Just one dose is powerful enough to wipe his entire memories,” The doctor said.
“Are you sure?” Mr Salvatore asked.
“Yes, he won’t remember a thing, not even his name…”
Mr. Salvatore smirked evilly as he heard the doctor’s words.
TBC…
