Claimed By The Mafia Don (Ariella and Asher) novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20

He didn’t look convinced, but he nodded anyway.

I exhaled and left the room, hesitantly making my way to the front door. My pulse pounded as I reached for the handle. I wasn’t ready for this.

I braced myself and pulled the door open. I sucked in a sharp breath.

Not Asher.

The man standing on the other side of the door smiled, his eyes glinting with something.

“Did you miss me, little Ari?”

Before I could react, he pulled me into a hug.

I stiffened, shock paralyzing me.

Had I missed him?

He pulled back slightly, tilting his head. “Where’s Leon? Can I see him?” I swallowed.

Luca.

What was he doing here? I never thought I’d see him again.

And why was he acting like we were friends Because we weren’t.

I could feel it. There was something else going on here. Something wasn’t right. I glanced behind him, looking past him for any sign of Asher, and then turned my eyes back to Luca.

“Where’s Asher?” I asked, my voice careful,

“Not here.”

I frowned, trying to make sense of it. “what are you doing here? Did he tell you to come and get me? Is he finally here?”

Luca chuckled, the sound light and dismissive. It only added to the strange feeling.

“Come on! Let’s go downstairs.” He waved his hand casually, “Hey, Leon, it’s your fun uncle.”
