THE MAFIA KING'S DESIRE - CHAPTER 16
{Defending one’s territory}
Adriano’s mansion.
Adriano was playing a game on his phone when Mateo came into his study room.
“Boss, I’m sorry to interrupt you but I just found out something,” Mateo revealed.
“What did you find out?” Adriano asked.
“I found out that Mrs Maya had surgery and the doctor made her look exactly like Miss Caterina,” Mateo reported.
“Why didn’t your men stop her from having the surgery?” Adriano asked, pausing the game.
“I don’t know, boss,” Mateo replied, letting out a troubled sigh.
“Mateo, you are failing as my right-hand man and I don’t like it. Must I $h00t you in the head before you can know the next step to take!” Adriano yelled at him.
“I’m sorry boss. I will get rid of those men,”
He had asked men to watch Maya’s every move, but it seemed like they had taken their jobs lightly.
“The next time that this happens. I will have no other choice but to get rid of you. You can’t keep letting incompetent men do a task! If this repeats itself, I will ki|| you and get another assistant, you aren’t indispensable, okay?” Adriano thr_@tened, seriously.
“Yes, Boss,” Mateo bowed slightly to him.
“Now, tell them to go to her room in the hospital and get rid of her. I want them to make sure she’s dead. I also want to see her body. If there are any mistakes, they will pay with their lives,” Adriano snarled seriously.
“Yes, boss. Thank you,” Mateo said, knowing that Adriano had let him off the hook again.
Mateo exited the mansion, ready to carry out his orders.
As Adriano resumed playing his game, he received a call that Fabio was at his girlfriend’s house.
He quickly stood to his feet and left his mansion without any delay.

“Caterina, why are you doing this?” Fabio asked. “I like you now, why are you not reciprocating my feelings? Are you trying to get revenge on me?
“No, I’m not trying to hurt your feelings,” Caterina sighed. “My heart already belongs to someone else. I don’t love you anymore,”
“How can you forget someone you loved so easily?” Fabio asked, his face filled with hurt.
“When that person keeps pushing you away and breaking you over and over again. The feelings tend to fade. I can’t be with you because those feelings are gone. Your hatred towards me and your harshness has made my feelings vanish,” Caterina said, honestly.
“I am in love with someone else. I’m in love with Adriano. He treats me like a queen, an absolute gem and I’m not just with him because of that, I’m with him because we are made for each other. My heart skips a beat anytime I see him. I love how he calls my name, I love when he calls me Tesoro, “Caterina said, smiling broadly.
“I love him a lot and the most perfect part of everything is his love for me. That man loves me so much, that he captured my soul with his affection. Adriano might be an awful person to everyone, but he’s my Amore. There’s no other space for anyone in my heart.”
Fabio was completely distraught by her response.
“Okay. I’ll leave…thanks for being honest with me,” As he turned back, he almost stumbled backward because of Adriano.
“Why are you here? What do you want from my woman?” Adriano asked with a displeased expression on his face.
“He told me that he liked me. But I said that I was too in love with you to accept his affection,” Caterina said, truthfully.
Fabio was so pained by her response.
“Good response, Cat.” Adriano winked at her.
“My woman will be returning to my company. I don’t want both of you to have awkward encounters, so I will transfer to another company of mine and you will get to keep your job,” Adriano smirked.
Fabio was dumbstruck, and so was Caterina. But she was happy about it because she was getting tired of Fabio pursuing her.
“But…sir,”
“It’s either you choose a transfer to another company or a transfer to your grave, which one?” Adriano said coldly.
“I…prefer the transfer to another company,” Fabio swallowed hard.
“Good choice, now run along. Don’t even come to the company to take your things. Your belongings will be brought to you,”. Adriano said.
Fabio nodded and rushed away from there. Adriano walked to his woman and smiled.
“Are you okay?” Adriano asked, caressing her cheek gently.
“I’m okay,” She smiled and kissed his lips. “Did you men inform you that he was here?” Caterina whispered.
“Yeah, they did,” Adriano smiled and kissed her again.
“I came to protect you and show him that you have someone by your side now,” Adriano smiled at her, his heart thumping in love.
“I’m glad you came. I was already missing you,” Caterina smiled happily and raised her feet to kiss him again.
“Caterina, is that your former boss?” Mrs Rizzo asked from inside.
“Yes, Mama,”
“Tell him to come have some spaghetti with us,” Mrs Rizzo invited.
“Do you want to come inside?” She asked with a smile.
“Why wouldn’t I want to meet my Tesoro’s parents and tell them that I have the intention of marrying their daughter,” Adriano smirked and held her hand.
“Marrying me?” Caterina giggled and pulled him into her house.
Meanwhile, Fabio was still watching them behind a tree, that stood at a distance, away from the guards.
“You might have sent me away, but I won’t leave Caterina alone. She must love me back and I must be her first. I’m sure that if I take her vîrginity, you won’t want her anymore,” Fabio smirked, devising a plan in his mind.
