The Mafia's Bride Trapped In His Love

Chapter 34: Romanticism

Dexter POV

"Dexter, tell me about everything. I'm so confused right now."

"I don't want you to involve in my work."

"You don't trust me?"

I rested my head on my palm, turning my gaze down and letting my eyes running on her face.

"Are you doubting me?"

"Don't answer my question with a question, Dexter. The talk will never be ended."

"Maybe it's a good idea so that we can talk all night." I earned a light slap on my chest because of that statement.

"What?"

"It's not the time to try your romanticism."

I chuckled with the use of her word. "Romanticism. I like the sound of it." I moved forwards to kiss her lips but she was faster than me, she stops me by covering her lips with her palm. 

"Don't distract my mind, you devil."

I smirked before giving in to her. "Alright, tell me what you want to know?"

"Everything. Is there someone after you? I mean since the accident it seems like things never stopped. After the threat then comes the kidnapping, and now you suddenly brought someone over here to discuss business which I knew it never happened before."

"Love, I still feel that the less you know, the less danger will come to you."

"That's bullshit. They won't stop hunting me, I'm your wife, part of your life."

"Can you repeat that one more time? It has been a few months since I didn't hear that from you."

"What? Wife?" I hummed in reply, caressing her baby bump with my other hand.

"I'm your wife, Dexter Anderson." She pulled me to her face and pecked my lips. "That's the deposit. Now tell me about everything and I will pay for the balance later." She teased me. I was impressed at how she took control of everything in a short time.

"Alright, storytime. Damon is the one who was behind all this chaos that happened in the last few months. He murdered the strongest mafia leader's son and it was recorded in the video. His face was clear and he can't run away from this."

"What business deal you have with Nelson? It's something related to Damon?"

"The video spread among the mafia's gangs. Nelson approached me and we're making a deal to bring down Damon."

"What happened between you and Damon?"

"Last few months, we heard the news that there is a gang that started the human trafficking activity. We used to give him a warning and advised him a few times to stop the illegal activity in our area which most of the gangs agreed on the issue but he took it lightly. One night, Alex followed him and saw the murderer. I made him stop the illegal activity with the video. He knew as long as I have that video, he can't do his dirty work. For now, he thought the video was no longer exist but that was part of the plan too. We made him believe it that way."

"How?"

"The last few weeks after the accident, our men finally found the culprit, the one who drove the car and hit you and-"

"Did you kill him? What happened to him?"

"No, he's alive but to be honest I almost kill him. I found out that Damon used his son to threaten him with the job. So, I give him another chance. He is someone important in the team now, our spy. The gang is new and they have not much experience in this thing so it's really easy to pull a trick."

"How did you convince him about the video?"

"He hired a hacker to hack into the system but he doesn't aware of the surprise behind it. He wanted a hacker so we gave him one from our gang. We made it look like they hacked into the system and got all the information about the gang and our plan but little that he knew, we were one step ahead. By the way, the thing that Lucas did is really amazing. It helped to hack into their system and everything is readable."

"Wow, that's really impressive. What do you plan to do with the video? Why don't you pass it to the police and let them handle that? It will be out of your hand and you don't have to deal with it anymore."

"Police and mafia never worked along. We need to settle this issue ourselves. End his life is easy but it won't teach other gangs the lesson."

"How? And, how is this case connected to Nelson?

"The strongest mafia that I mentioned just now, remember? He is the one."

I noticed how she look surprised knowing the fact. "No wonder he has that powerful and charismatic looks."

"Don't you dare admiring other guys," I warned her even though I knew she purposely said that to tease me.

"Okay, I'm sorry." She said with giggles. "But, why did you bring him here and also that annoying woman." She rolled her eyes mentioning that girl.

"Oh, someone is jealous again." I pinched her cheek.

"Don't distract me. Tell me more about it."

"The fun fact is that no one has ever seen his face and no one recognize him as the mafia leader. To avoid any suspicion from anyone, I brought him here so that people will think he is a family."

"So, you're making a deal with him?"

"Yes, we agreed to work together on this. We were both against human trafficking and he wants to take revenge for his son while I want to take revenge for everything that happened to you. Someone needs to pay for the price."

"Just be careful." Her hand reached my face, lingered there for a while.

"Always. Don't worry about it." I grabbed her hand and moved it to my lips, kiss it a few times.

"I really miss you, for the past few months it was really hard to control myself so that I won't upset you and caused you to have mood swings. I can't even confess my feeling and touch you freely. I miss this moment a lot."

"I'm sorry for acting like that."

"Don't be, it wasn't your fault." I kissed her forehead this time.

"Wait, the storytime is over, so where is the balance of my payment?" I asked.

"Your memory is good when it comes to this kind of thing, isn't it?"

"Oh, you have no idea about it, love."

With that, I pulled my body closer to her while her hands spontaneously snaked around my neck, resting there comfortably. I make sure I didn't put any weight on her. Finally, our relationship is back to normal.
