Exposed to the CEO Behind the Mafia Mask (by Silver Spoon) novel Chapter 454

Chapter 454: Chapter 50 Poisonous Reunion

Daniel’s POV

My peaceful days had shattered like glass against concrete. Dominic finally returned from his extended business in Sicily and summoned all of us to dinner at the Thorne family’s private dining room. His intention was to get updates about Gemma’s situation, but the conversation took a sinister turn when he revealed that her ex-boyfriend had been making death threats against her—and against Lila. That information sent rage coursing through my veins like molten steel.

After returning to my penthouse, I tried to discuss the threats with Lila, but she dismissed them casually, claiming she barely remembered being threatened. How does someone forget a death threat from a desperate man with nothing to lose? But before I could press the issue further, my little temptress distracted me with her irresistible touch, and I allowed myself to be drawn away from the subject.

The next morning, anxiety and concern ate at me like acid. Then Sasha called, transforming my worry into pure fury.

"Hello, darling husband! Have you sorted out our marital situation yet?" She was clearly savoring every moment of this torment.

"Sasha, crawl back to whatever cesspit spawned you and pretend I never existed!" I snarled before ending the call. The phone rang again immediately.

"You used to have better breeding," she purred with mock disappointment. "Daniel, I’m still legally your wife, so the least you could do is take me to a proper establishment and treat me with the respect I deserve."

"Respect? Go straight to hell, Sasha! Forget I exist. Whatever sick game you’re orchestrating, I’ll crush it. Now find something else to occupy your twisted mind and leave me in peace—I have real work to do." I had zero patience for her psychological warfare today.

"You’d better meet me for lunch today, or I might pay an unexpected visit to that sweet little plaything you’ve been bedding." Sasha’s threats were becoming increasingly brazen, and my restraint was hanging by a thread.

"What the hell do you want from me, Sasha? I don’t have time for lunch meetings."

"I want to move back into our matrimonial home. That’s why we need to discuss terms. Luxury hotels aren’t suitable for permanent residence."

"What matrimonial home are you fantasizing about?"

"Don’t play dumb with me."

"You’re the one living in a fantasy! Don’t you dare set foot near my building or Lila. If you do, what happens next will be far worse than anything you’re prepared for."

"Don’t threaten me, Daniel."

"Don’t threaten me, Sasha."

"I’ll give you some time to compose yourself, but this matter needs resolution soon."

"Soon, you’ll be nothing but a nightmare I’ve forgotten, you poisonous witch!"

I slammed the phone down with my head pounding like a war drum. Leaving the precinct, I drove straight to Caleb’s corporate office. We had arranged to discuss the escalating threats from Gemma’s psychotic ex-boyfriend, but with everything spiraling out of control, I lost my composure and treated Gemma with inexcusable harshness.

Now my little one was livid with me. When she returned that evening and announced she would be sleeping in the guest bedroom, I nearly came unhinged. She was withdrawing from me, and I had only myself to blame. She refused to even acknowledge my presence.

But Sasha was relentless in her pursuit of contact. When she called repeatedly, I decided confronting whatever twisted scheme she had brewing might be the fastest way to end this nightmare permanently. I drove to her hotel, answering her latest call during the journey.

"Finally. I was about to visit our home personally and escort that little nymph out myself," Sasha spoke as if she owned everything in my life.

"I warned you to stay away from her."

"And I told you we needed to have a proper discussion."

"Wait in the hotel lobby. I’ll be there shortly."
