My Second Marriage with the Mafia Kingpin novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222: Well, Here It Is.

It didn’t matter to Lucian who was behind the abduction or the spoiled ambush months ago. The ending would be the same: brutal.

But he was more curious: what would his wife want to do?

She had already surprised him by taking in her abductors, using the clever argument of acknowledging their skills. If it were up to Lucian, he would have cut them off completely. Not because he didn’t acknowledge their abilities, or because he felt humiliated by the small group’s modest success.

Rather, he simply wasn’t the type to spare people who could threaten Dominion.

But his wife had a way of sprinkling spice into everything, and he found himself wanting to see the results — calculated risks and all. After all, Lucian wasn’t letting those four — Khan, Rus, Nelek, and Warriyo — into Dominion blindly.

If they couldn’t be tamed, he planned to dispose of them.

For now, he was curious what she would say.

Curiosity flickered in his eyes, his brows raised as he waited for her answer. Would it amuse him again? Or make him question things?

What an interesting thing to think about.

Ashley puffed her cheeks, but instead of answering, she shifted her gaze to the desk.

"Give me a second," she said, pushing herself off the bed, only for her knees to wobble.

She looked down at her legs, only now realizing that the wound on her back was the least of her concerns.

When she glanced back at Lucian, she caught the brief smirk on his lips as his eyes dropped to her thighs.

"You’re enjoying this?" she asked, and he nodded.

"I find it very attractive."

She puffed her cheeks. "Goodness." But she didn’t linger; she dragged herself to the desk where her laptop was waiting.

She carried it back to the bed and crawled to his side.

"Let’s see," she hummed, settling her back against the headboard.

Lucian shifted closer, propping his elbow between them. He watched as the screen came to life before looking up at her face.

"Give me a moment," she said, lowering her head just enough for her chin to graze his lips. "I’ll just check on Omen."

Once she straightened, Lucian pushed himself up and sat beside her, his back against the headboard as well. He pulled the blanket up to cover her chest. His wife had apparently grown quite comfortable being without clothes around him.

"How did you contact this man?" he asked, leaning back again, earning a glance from her. "Omen."

"On the ship?" she hummed and chuckled. "Easy. The ship had its own communication devices. If I hacked into them, I could use them to contact him. Good thing that guy’s easily traceable."

"You’re the only person who would say that."
