His Unwanted Wife is the Mafia Princess novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 – Rising Tension

Adrian

Shock and humiliation floods my body. All I can bring myself to do is watch as Stella passes me and exits the plane that was once our home. As soon as the door closes, I can feel the anger inside my body boll over

I exit the living rooms and stand in the middle of the foyer. Hook around, seeing that nobody else is home, and grunt to myself, bringing my phone out of my pocket. I did a number and bring the phone to my eat.

“Freeze all of Stella’s credit cards, She’s been cut off,” I interrupt my assistant before they can speak

“Is there anything else I can do” end the call before he can finish.

I stare outside the window of the house, watching as a black SUV drives away from the mansion. There is no doubt in my mind that Sebastian is sitting inside the car with Stella. He would have wanted to be there to witness her rejection of me.

I also know that Sebastian is dangerous. Perhaps Clara was right all along, Maybe Sebastian does have connect to the mafia and is more sinister than what he lets on

Sebastian has had many scandals attached to his name throughout the years, mainly with the women he finds himself entangled with. The women he’s been photographed with have never lasted too long by his side.

Stella will come back to me soon enough. She’ll come crawling back on her hands and knees, begging for me to take her back into the sanctity of my home. It’s just a matter of time.

A week passes by and I still haven’t heard a thing from Stella.

No calls, no messages, no emails. There has been no sighting of my wife. She truly has become a ghost in the wind, vanishing from all walks of life, never to be heard from again.

I won’t give up on her though. I will find her one way or another, no matter how much money it takes.

The private investigators I hired have been working tirelessly the last few days. Upon my request, they have begun digging into Stella’s whereabouts and to figure out what she has been up to.

I expect her to be living in a mega–mansion, probably with her new boy toy, Sebastian. She will be living an extravagant life with the amounts of money that she has been gifted.

A text message from one of my investigators catches my attention during a shareholders meeting

Investigator: She’s living in a small apartment in the downtown area.

A small apartment? Why would she live in such a small place instead of reaching out to me? 15 her pride at stake or something?

My personal phone vibrates against the table. I immediately snatch it and turn on the screen, hoping to see Stella’s name on the screen.

My face falls when I read Clara’s name. I sigh and set the phone down, disappointment overtaking my body. I sigh and look away from the phone, forcing myself to pay attention to the meeting.

Once it is over, though, I quickly enter my office and lock the door, dialing Stella’s number. But my call is Immediately dropped. I try again only to get the same result

Did Stella block me?

I sit at my desk and set the phone down, glaring at it. I take a deep breath, unable to fully get my frustration under control.

There is one person who can help me out. I open up the hacking website that Tracer operates out of and click on her name, furiously typing into the phone’s keyboard.

Adrian: I need you to break into this woman’s phone and remove me from her blocked contacts list.

Stella

Am 1 reading this correctly? Did Adrian just message me to have him be removed from my blocked list of contacts?

This whole situation has left me feeling both frustrated and ridiculous. Am I joke to him? What kind of sick prank is he pulling on me?

For the entirety of our five years of marriage, Adrian has always acted so indifferent towards me. He barely paid attention to me and never returned any of my calls or texts. And to make things worse, he signed away parts of my body as my husband, my healthy heart almost being ripped away from me and placed inside Clara.

Clara is awake now, though, and is back in his life. This is the outcome he silently wished for, is it not? I am simply letting his dream come true by leaving his life, so why does he feel the need to hold onto me as if I am his property?

1 sigh and fall back onto the bed. The ceiling is a boring white color, as is most of the walls of my newly bought apartment, but there will be some color coming into the walls soon.

I know it isn’t much, especially compared to the mansion that my brothers wanted to gift to me, but it’s mine. This is a place that I am going to call my home, a place that has no attachments to the people in my life. It is solely my own with the money I earned.

I turn back to face the computer screen, staring at Adrian’s message. 1 accept the job, which he offered an obscene amount of money for, and swipe my phone from my side. I unblock his number and laugh, shocked by how easy this job is compared to others that I have accepted.

After sending a quick message, as Tracer, that the job is done, my phone immediately begins to ring. I stare at his name on my phone and roll my eyes, bringing it to my ear.

“Hello?”

“Meet me at the café.” His call drops. I know I have no choice but to go.

I enter the café not even twenty minutes later, wearing a casual outfit. I spot Adrian at a table and approach him, shoving my hands in my pockets. I sit down and remain silent.

“You need to get away from Sebastian. He’s involved with the mafia and is dangerous,” Adrian states.

“No, I don’t think I will,” I retort. “If that’s all you have to say, I’ll go.

1 stand up but he is quick to grab my wrist, pulling me back to him. I look down and glare, yanking my hand away.
