THE MAFIA KING'S DESIRE - CHAPTER 15
{Payback time}
Both of them pulled the trigger on each other, but unfortunately, Dante wasn’t putting on a bulletproof but Adriano was.
The bullet still caused Adriano to fall to the ground but he wasn’t injured at all.
“Adriano!” Caterina screamed, but the guard held her back as she tried running. “Adriano! Leave me alone!” Caterina screamed and bit the guard.
He endured the bite and refused to let her go.
Dante held his bleeding chest in pain, he tried reaching for the gun, but it got kicked away by one of Adriano’s observant men.
Dante groaned and clenched in a fist in pain.
Adriano stood from the floor and Caterina heaved a sigh of relief.
“Adriano,”
“I’m okay,” Adriano flashed a smile at her.
He shifted his gaze to Dante and walked closer to him.
“If you ki|| me, my clan will come after you,” Dante said and coughed out a handful of blood.
“Your clan isn’t even a quarter of mine, but I guess your ambition has made you stupîd,” Adriano scoffed. “In your next life, make sure that you never commit the mistake of messing with the one I love,”
Caterina heard the word love and butterflies fluttered in her stomach. Adriano had never said he loved her, he only mentioned liking her.
‘He loves me,’ Caterina thought and smiled.
The sudden gunshot snapped Caterina out of her thoughts. Adriano had shot Dante in the head.
“Luigi,” Caterina gasped. “Adriano, why did you…I don’t understand anything,”
Adriano lowered his gun and walked to her. He signaled the guard to release her and he did.
Caterina ran to him and hugged him tightly.
“His name isn’t Luigi. His name is Dante and he’s been trying to get rid of me for years. I had always seen him as a mosquito…”
Caterina couldn’t help laughing at his sentence.
“I know this isn’t the right moment to laugh, but that was hilarious,” Caterina laughed.
“How can you call someone a mosquito?”
“That word describes him best. He’s always whining, but I sort of underestimated him,” Adriano kept his gun and hugged her back. “I’m happy that I came here in time to protect you,”
“I’m glad that you’re okay as well,” Caterina sighed.
“I thought you got hurt. Please don’t ever do such a thing again, promise me,”
Adriano parted the hug, still holding her arms.
“I can’t make such a promise. You’ve got to start getting used to this. I can’t stop being a mafia king. My life will continue like this until I die,” Adriano uttered.
“Okay. Let’s always be there for each other and stay alive,” Caterina smiled and kissed his lips softly.
“I love you, Tesoro,” Adriano whispered on her lips.
“I love you too…Amore mio…” Caterina giggled a bit and kissed his lips again.

Hospital.
Mrs Maya was in a room with her whole face bandaged. Within a few minutes, nurses stepped into the room.The doctor entered the room as well and asked the nurses to start removing the bandages around her face.
They began taking the bandages and once everything was done, one of them gave her a mirror.
Mrs Maya looked at her face and gasped.
“In a few days, I’ll have my revenge for everything Adriano did to me because of that d@mn woman,” Mrs Maya sneered, touching her face.

The Salvatore’s mansion.
Adriano took Caterina home before getting his father from his mansion. He returned him to his family’s place and his mother wasn’t happy with the situation.
“What happened to your father?” Mrs. Salvatore asked as she watched Mr. Salvatore go to the kitchen like an idiot.
“He lost his memory in my place. He wanted me to lose my memories, but I did an uno reverse on him,” Adriano chuckled.
Mrs Salvatore gasped and rushed to slap him, but Adriano held her wrist.
“How could you do that to your father, what kind of a child are you?” His mother cried out.
“I’m sure you were okay with his plans of getting rid of my memories and turning me into a Dumbo. I’m sure you were supporting him while he planned on ruining my life,” Adriano snarled.
“Mama, you don’t even care about me or my feelings. You were ready to make unhappy, just to get a few billion from Vivian’s family. You didn’t care about my clan, my people, or the woman I love. You and your husband were happily going to ruin everything,” Adriano scoffed.
“I won’t say I’m disappointed, I will just say that having both of you as my parents was the worst thing that ever happened to me,” Adriano muttered, his eyes getting moist.
“Papa is going to remain that way for a long time, but you’ve got a choice to be with him and stay out of my life,” Adriano blinked back his tears and brought out a gun.
He placed the nozzle on her forehead and she trembled.
“You told me that I was a devil and I shouldn’t be a pûssy. Well, I’m just following your orders,”
“If you ever do anything to hurt Caterina or her family or you try to ruin our relationship again. I’ll ki|| you. I don’t even love you. If I ever did, then those feelings died a long time ago. So, don’t think that I’ll hesitate in putting a bullet in your head,” Adriano snarled.
“Adriano…how can you say that?” Mrs Salvatore broke down in tears. “How can you think of kîlling your parent!”
“I won’t be the first neither would I be the last. But you can avoid death if you keep away from my life and cancel any alliance with Vivian,” Adriano said and released her hand.
“Bella, don’t waste this opportunity that I’m giving you, because if you do, there will be no mercy,” Adriano said and brought down his gun.
“Have a nice day,” Adriano muttered and walked away from her.
Mrs Salvatore was left in total shock.

Hospital.
The next day, Mrs Maya was in her bed, staring at the mirror she was holding.
Her husband had left her after seeing how disfigured she was. Mrs Maya thought that she would never be able to get her face fixed but she did. It took a few surgeries, but she finally succeeded.
“Now, I have your face, Caterina,” Mrs Maya smirked, staring at her new face in the mirror.
