Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 149

Luca’s POV

I got out of my car and paused outside the door, already sighting James’ car which pulled into the compound some seconds after the one I was riding in did. After leaving the hospital where Aria was at, I made my way straight home, and alerted James that I was already heading home. It was already our arrangement, that we were to go home together and then he was going to come with me to come question those people who had tried to attack me on tne road in the night, two days ago. I had also invited some other of my workers, they worked with james in the area which specialized in questioning caught people and torturing them until they’d end up speaking.

The two guys were already here waiting for me, and as soon as james car had been parked, and he had alighted, he started making his way towards me instantly. It was almost eight o'clock in the evening, only a few minutes left before it clocks eight.

“How are we doing this?” He asked after stopping beside me and placing a hand on my shoulder.

I nodded my head towards the two guys who were standing at the other side of the compound, and James' eyes followed my trail immediately. “You see those two guys?” I asked and James nodded his head once.

“They’re out for blood and they're very brutal. I’d need you to be the one to be the level headed one between the three of you. Don’t kill them off, just question them and make them speak at slo cost, just don’t get them killed, alright?”

James nodded his head once before lifting his hand off my shoulders and walking around to stand before me, and then he started to speak.

“Don’t you think it’s weird that whoever it was that sent these guys over hasn't come over to come rescue them? I mean, it’s over two days already, isn’t it?” James asked and I let out a small snort before starting to shake my head.

“No, I actually don’t think it’s weird. I mean, do you think it’s ever mafia lord that cares about the well-being of their guys and guards and even people who work for them?”

“Well, actually you do have a point.”

“Or perhaps, whoever it was that sent them, probably thought I’ve killed them off or something, that’s probably why the person hasn't bothered to come fight you in order to save his men.” James continued to speak almost immediately and I carded my fingers through my hair ever so slowly, before I finally started to steak.

“Well, don’t you think the person is a coward in the first place for sending his men instead of coming to me himself?” Indrswked with another small snort and James nodded his head after a moment.

“You do have a point, actually.”

“I’m just going to be more careful, and be more observant. You do the same too, the person might be after you as well.” I said pinning James with a serious look as I said the last of my sentence and I watched as he started to nod his head immediately.

“Of course, of course. I’m definitely going to be more observant and careful, although I’m always careful on a normal day to begin with, so I’m sure I’d be pretty alright.”

“I never doubted for a second.” I mumbled and James snorted a little.

“You do you think could be behind this though? Does anyone come to mind about who could have been behind it?” James started to ask after a few seconds and I gave him a perplexed look instantly.

“Why? Of course.”

“Who are they?”
