Taken By The Mafia Lord

827 Be My Woman

Marcel was a failure and Daniel needed a grandson. A child that would take the family’s business to the next level. He needed a grandson that would see from his perspective and not inherit his father’s weak and emotional mind. But now, that was no longer possible, was it?

Daniel was burning with rage, a wave of great anger! How dare Marcel fool him like this?! He should have suspected that his words would be a lie, but seeing his pathetic son was enamored with the girl, he assumed that she would be with his child already.

He gets reports from time to time and it was said that Marcel was a fool for the girl. In the same way, he had blindly loved Natalie, his son loved Arianna too. It must be a curse or something since the cycle continued except that his son succeeded in his case. Or who knows, things might change in the future.

However, that was not the point but the fact that his trusted son fooled him! Now his plan has been pushed back, coupled with the fact that Natalie gave him her ridiculous condition for both of their children to settle down.

Daniel could select another girl for Marcel but knowing his stubborn son, he was going to make a huge deal out of it. He didn’t have much time anymore, who knows how long he had to live on earth and he needed to see his grandson. He can’t have any more delay, nor would he leave his family.

Natalie leaves him no other choice but to take matters into his hands. For once, he decided to be a good guy, but then, people never recognize his good works. Never. It was much better and stress-free being the villain. That marriage had to happen by all means possible.

Daniel was in the hospital’s underground car park when he suddenly stopped and made a call.

“What now?” Gabriel’s voice came alive from the other line.

Daniel pursed his lips, listening to his words. The child needed to be taught how to show respect to his elders, but that would wait until he played out his role in his plan.

.....

“Commence with the plans.”

“What is this?” Gabriel responded, “Is this a sick joke or what? You wanted me to stop not long ago and now you want me to commence once again. What changed? How do I know that this isn’t some sort of trap?”

“I’m sorry for the indecision, I was momentarily confused, but don’t worry I have made up my mind now thanks to a certain someone. So tell me, are you in or can I find someone in the family that is willing to take the role more seriously?” Daniel retorted.

“Fine. I’ll do it.” Gabriel grumbled at the end of the call, “Let’s just hope you don’t change your mind before the end of today.” He hung up on him.

Daniel chuckled at the action, this was why you don’t do business with kids because they were impatient and would show forth their true colors in no time. At least, he would play his role, that was all that mattered to Daniel.

Done with the call, Daniel was about to locate his car when he spotted someone out of his peripheral vision, but he ignored it only to halt in his step. He turned around quickly and just as he thought, it was her.

My oh my, what a pleasant surprise.

It was Angelica and he didn’t need to guess why she was here – unless she was dying from a terminal disease. There must be an OB-GYN department where she came to inquire for daughter, Adele. Natalie’s hospital seems to be quite popular.

He stalked over to her and she never for once noticed his presence which brought a satisfying smile to his lips. In this situation, he was the predator in the hunt and she was the poor prey. But no worry, he wasn’t going for the kill yet.

Daniel merely tapped her on the shoulder from behind while she was in the process of trying to open her car. She turned with a scream, instinctively lifting her hand to punch him in the face

but he caught her hand.

“Hello, we meet again,” Daniel smirked, still holding her hand.

“D-daniel?” She peered up at him through narrowed gaze, her hand on her pounding heart.

“Seriously!” Anglican pulled her arm free while glaring at him. She almost suffered a heart attack because of him, thinking one of Benjamin’s enemies had gotten to her. Who knew that it was no one but this….. Forget it.

Angelica took a deep breath, tucking her hair to the back of her ear, and asked him, “What is it?”

Daniel nudged her shoulder, “Am I not allowed to say hi to a friend?”

“We are not friends and can never be friends, Daniel.” She made it clear to him.

“Is that so? What are we then? Lovers?”

“W-what?” Angelica nearly choked on her saliva. What does he mean by lovers? It was utterly ridiculous.

She coughed to clear her throat and said to him, “You must have lost your damn mind.” Angelica made to turn, but Daniel blocked her path and instead, forced her to step back till her body was pressed back against her car.

“D-daniel….” Angelica stuttered, feeling uncomfortable with where this scenario was headed. She was not a kid anymore, and with years of experience, already knew how this was going to end. Unfortunately, she would be a sucker for trouble to even think about getting into anything with Daniel. The man was mad for crying out loud.

“Now that I look at you, you are quite beautiful,” Daniel said, taking a lock of her hair in his hand and letting it slip in between his fingers before his eyes rested on her lips without shame.

“Eyes up,” Angelica said, having no idea where the confidence came from.

Surprisingly, Daniel did as commanded, lifting his head, a smile lingering at the corner of his lips.

He then said to her, “Do you want to be my woman?”

“What?!”

“Someone said I wouldn’t be able to find happiness, are you going to help me prove that person wrong?”
