THE MAFIA KING'S DESIRE - CHAPTER 6
(Love)
Noah shuddered in fear and looked at Caterina.
“Do it dammit!” One of the masked men yelled and shot at their father.
“Papa,” Caterina cried as her father held his bleeding arm.
“Mario,” Mrs Rizzo cried, holding her husband in fear.
“Do it or someone else will get shot in the head,”
“Fine, I will do it.” Noah cried out.
Caterina was stunned by his words, but seeing her father bleed, she couldn’t imagine someone else getting hurt. But sleeping with my brother was horrible, too horrible.
“Good, do it,” The masked man commanded.
Noah turned his back on the masked man and removed his singlet.
Caterina was trembling with tears spilling out of her eyes.
The masked man grinned in delight. He and his other masked colleagues weren’t sent to do this but to actually rãpe Caterina in a traumatizing way. He suddenly got the idea to make both of siblings do it, which would be more traumatizing.
Noah dropped his singlet on the floor but he suddenly turned and gave a flying kick to the masked man that sent him to floor.
The kick was so unexpected, that the gun slipped from his hand and Noah was able to grab it swiftly. Without wasting a second, Noah shot at one of them but before he could $h00t and the second one at the door, a gunshot sounded and he dropped dead to the floor.
The door burst open and Adriano walked in.
“Caterina’s boss,” Noah recognized him.
“Adriano,” Caterina called, shocked to see him.
“Are you all okay?” Adriano asked, his heart racing in his chest.
For the first time in his life, he felt afraid. He got scared when he heard that some of his men who he assigned to watch Caterina had been shot dead by unknown gunmen. It was so shocking but he didn’t waste any time rushing down here.
“Papa needs help, he was shot,” Caterina cried.

Caterina’s father was rushed to the hospital and taken to the intensive care unit.
Adriano was on the phone giving more orders to Mateo. He had already told Mateo to check if one of the gunmen were still alive, so he could find out about their boss. He also instructed him over the drugs being exported to other countries. He also asked about the number of consumers and the numbers were looking good.
‘ Alright, I will call you later.’ Adriano sighed and hung up.
He looked at Caterina who was crying and he couldn’t help but feel guilty. He knew that wh@??ver happened to her family was connected to him.
The doctor later came out of the ER and told them that the old man was fine.
“I’m so relieved,” Mrs Rizzo sighed, patting her chest.
“Me too,” Caterina sniffed.
“I’ll go pay for the bills, thank you doc.” Noah said and tried leaving.
“The bills are on me, I already paid for everything,”
They looked at him, strangely, not because of the bill he paid but because of his arrival and the gun he had before.
“What were you doing around our area? You are a rich dude, you shouldn’t have been there…” Noah asked.
“I am quite interested in your sister and I wanted to ensure that she got home safely, so I assigned some of my guards to protect her but they got ki||ed but one of them that got injured informed me of everything. I came rushing to your house like a mad man,” Adriano chuckled.
“You are interested in my sister??”
“I am,” Adriano smiled.
Caterina was shocked that he actually said that to her family.
“Are you trying to use my daughter? If that is what you want to do then we will refund your money, we don’t want to owe you anything…”Mrs. Rizzo frowned at him.
“If I wanted to use her then I could have drvgged and thr_@tened her a long time ago, but I like her. She’s intelligent, resilient, loving, caring, bold, relentless and the best of all, she’s beautiful. There are too many things to like about her,” Adriano said, flashing a handsome smile at Caterina.
Caterina suddenly smiled and her cheeks reddened. She had to look away when her mother gazed at her.
Noah was actually glad that someone liked his sister but he was still suspicious of Adriano.
“Why did you have a gun?” Noah asked.
Adriano chuckled at his question, “Dia! (come on) I’m rich and I need to protect myself. I got a license for the gun, you and your family should get one as well,”
Noah felt silly for asking that question.
“You are so right,” Noah chuckled.
‘He’s such a good liar, Mr mafia king,’ Caterina thought, pouting her lips.

Adriano and Caterina got out of the hospital.
“Don’t come to the office tomorrow, this an order,” Adriano smiled at her.
“Okay sir. A lot of things have happened, they’ve been overwhelming,” Caterina sighed. “Thanks for helping us today,”
“You are welcome,” Adriano muttered and held her face. “I can do anything for you, Tesoro mio. I’m so sorry that I came a little too late,”
“No, you came at the perfect time. You’ve saved my life twice. I appreciate everything Adriano and thank you for not blackmailing me with nûdes,”
“I would never hurt that way,” Adriano smiled and pressed his soft lips on her forehead.
Caterina’s heart skipped beats as he kissed her forehead. A part of her suddenly wished that he kissed her lips.
As Adriano pulled away, she raised her beautiful face to him.
Adriano suddenly kissed Caterina and she would have widened her eyes in shock but instead they closed in passion.
“Caterina, cat!” Adriano shook her arms. “Why are you closing your eyes?”
Caterina suddenly gasped, realizing that she had imagined kissing Adriano.
“Are you feeling dizzy?” He asked worriedly.
“No, just sleepy,” She smiled and her cheeks reddened.
“Did you want me to kiss you?” Adriano asked, suspiciously.
“No, that’s not true,”
“I don’t like you like that, I’m in love—”
Adriano kissed her lips for real this time and she closed her eyes like she had imagined, she took her hands to his beard and caressed them gently as he kissed her lips.
Adriano never thought that her lips would be this tender but he also wanted to taste her. Taste deep in her mouth and explore every part of it.
As the kiss was about to get intense, his phone rang.
He pulled away and licked his lips, “I’ve got to answer this,”
He brought his phone from his pocket and picked the call.
‘Hello,’ He turned his back on her and walked forward.
‘Adriano, Come stai (How are you)’
‘Mama,’ Adriano muttered in shock. ‘Why are you calling at this hour?’
‘I want you to come for some tea tomorrow morning. I want you to meet someone,’ Mrs Salvatore said over the phone.
‘Meet who?’
‘Your fidanzata’ Mrs Salvatore replied.
‘My fiancee! What do you mean by that?’ Adriano gasped as he suddenly remembered that Caterina was behind him.
He faced her and she started walking away.
“Caterina, Caterina wait!” He rushed to her and tried grabbing her hand, but she jerked his hand away.
“Don’t touch me,” Caterina uttered h@??fully and walked into the hospital.
