My father sold me to the Mafia King novel Chapter 250

Chapter 250: 250/Whispers of Doubt

Chapter 250:

Julie’s POV

I gripped his hand tightly, as if clinging to a final lifeline. "I want you to promise me," I said, my eyes pleading, "that you will never leave me."

Robert gave a slight smile, looking down at my hand clutching his. "What’s this?"

"Go on," I insisted. "Promise me."

He looked deep into my eyes, his voice steady and calm. "I promise you, Julie."

I raised an eyebrow defiantly. "If you leave me, I’ll shoot you."

He let out a soft laugh. "Oh, you’ve adapted to the mafia life quite quickly!"

"Yes," I replied, nodding. "And you’re the one who taught me how to use a gun, so watch out."

"I will," he said, patting my hand. "Now, let’s go."

We walked back to the car and got in. All the way back, a strange feeling gnawed at me; my conscience was stinging because I was always lying to him. After everything he shared with me today, the weight of those lies felt heavy on my chest. Robert broke my train of thought. "We’re here. Get out."

I looked at him, puzzled. "And you?"

"I have work," he said flatly.

"What work?" I asked worriedly, scanning his face. "You’re injured!"

"I’m fine," he replied curtly.

I sighed. "Fine. Take care of yourself."

I got out of the car, taking Axel with me, and headed into the club. As soon as I arrived, I felt a surge of restless energy. I wanted to train with Max; I hadn’t exercised in days and my body needed the movement. I rushed to my room to change into gym clothes, but before I could leave, Olivia burst in.

She marched toward me aggressively and suddenly pinned me against the wall. I felt the cold hardness of the stone against my back as she screamed in my face, "What is going on between you and Robert? Answer me!"

"Let go of me!" I snapped, trying to break her grip.

She tightened her hold. "Answer me!"

"Olivia, get away!" I yelled, feeling her hot, angry breath on my skin.

I gathered all my strength and shoved her back with everything I had. She stumbled, regaining her balance with a venomous look. "I knew it... I knew you had your eyes on Robert."

"Olivia, you’re just imagining things," I said, straightening my clothes.

"Stop lying! I know everything; I’m not stupid," she shrieked.

I sighed in exasperation. "Fine, Olivia, what do you want?"

Her skin turned a deep shade of red, and she spoke in a choked voice, "You’ll see, Julie. The time will come when Robert grows sick of you, and you’ll remember my words." She turned toward the door, then gave me one last, freezing look. "He’ll put you back in your proper place, Julie... Robert will sell you soon."

The moment she left, my pride crumbled and I collapsed to the floor. Her words terrified me. Could Robert really do that? But I quickly stood up, wiping my face firmly. "Julie," I told myself, "she’s playing head games with you. You’re smarter than letting Olivia get to you."

I trust Robert. He took me to his mother’s grave; he told me his story. He said he’d burn the world for me and took a bullet when I was kidnapped... he loves me and he will never leave me.

I left the room and headed to the gym, where I found Max. "Max, hey," I said, trying to lighten the mood.

He gave me a sarcastic grin. "Look who remembered training!"

"I know, I know," I laughed softly.

We trained for two full hours until sweat poured from my brow and I felt a comfortable exhaustion. I went back to my room, showered, and put on light pajamas. I dried my hair and lay on the bed to rest, picking up a book. I was so engrossed that I didn’t notice the time until the cook arrived with the dinner cart. I immediately thought of Robert... was he back?

"Is Mr. Robert here?" I asked eagerly. "Did you take him dinner?"

"No," she said briefly. "He isn’t here."

She left, and I sat eating my dinner in silence, my thoughts scattered. Just as I finished, the door swung open and Robert walked in.

He was in his suit, possessing his usual aura of authority, but his features held a strange seriousness. He looked at me and gave a single, commanding word:

"Follow me."
