Taken By The Mafia Lord

Chapter 289

289 Goodbye Cindy

Adele had another reason to confiscate their phones. She had a hacker with her in the camp who cloned every single phone with her. Elijah was smart and there were chances he didn’t come with the phone he worked with but no matter how careful a person was, there were bound to be mistakes.

You can tell a person from the content and contacts of his phone. People like Elijah would have little contact with the outside world, probably only with people he worked with to minimize exposure while normal people would have more specialization, introverted or not.

Hence, they would take their time going through all contacts so as not to miss a thing. This investigation is very important to not only Marcel but to the entire Luciano family as well. Elijah took out their own people and became a threat to them. They had to do something before the matter escalated.

“You’re here,” Adele looked up from the little desk as Aziz walked into her temporary office. He was dressed in a casual shirt that was snug on him and showed off his muscles with military shorts. Adele had to admit, he was quite good looking and that was the problem.

“Have a suit,” She gestured to him to sit down.

Aziz took the seat facing her and sat down comfortably. For someone summoned by the underboss for unknown reasons, there was no nervousness on his face; he looked calm.

“Do you know why you’re here?” Adele asked, leaning on the desk with her fingers intertwined in a business-like manner.

“If I knew, I wouldn’t be here, would I?” Aziz asked back instead of directly answering her question.

“Hmmm,” Adele chuckled, “You are quite the cheeky one,” However, the smile on her face vanished without a trace in the next minute as her face became serious.

.....

She asked, “What’s your relationship with Cindy?”

Aziz blinked, “W-what?”

But Adele didn’t answer and stood up from her seat instead, going around to him. Upon reaching his side, Adele leaned against the desk with her arms wrapped across her chest,

“I’ve seen men like you, before, Aziz. Men, who think that with their good looks, they could score a good damsel, and what better target than my ignorant sister. You’d be the one gaining since Mafia marriages hardly break up and the males are highly favored. Who knows? If you worked hard enough, you might even become the boss one day,” She plotted it out for him, thinking that was his intention for seducing Cindy.

Elijah sighed, pinching the space between his brows. As expected, he knew Adele would think in this direction.

He told her, “You rest assured that I have no such intention towards your baby sister. Like I told her when she suggested we get married, I do children -”

“She what?!” Adele hollered, her eyes growing wide.

“It was a ridiculous suggestion and I turned her -”

Elijah was still trying to explain to her when Adele hitched him up the collar and hurled him up to his feet. Damn, she was quite strong.

“You both are planning to marry already?”

Elijah gulped, “I told you it was all her suggestion. I can promise you that, I never dreamed of such a thing happening at all, nor would it ever happen. It’s all a fairytale.” He said hurriedly to her.

He knew it. That Luciano called Cindy would land him into trouble. He can’t get kicked out of here. It took him a lot of planning and resources to infiltrate here in the first place. And to think he’d be kicked out of here because of a girl he has nothing to do with in the first place. That would be annoying.

He even came in with his real identity. Marcel knows his proficiency at using masks and now suspects he’s hiding amongst his men. In one word, if he gets kicked out, that means he’d have to come in disguise since everyone knows his face but that would be like mission impossible.

Moreover, Luciano family accepts new members only once a year except for special circumstances. In one word, it would be hard to get another opportunity like this one if he gets kicked out of here. So no matter what it takes, he had to keep his position.

“Listen to me,” Adele told him without releasing her hold, choking him, “You are going to take this phone ....” She raised her phone, “and break any relationship you have with my sister because from now on, you would no longer work for her but me!” Adele handed the phone to him.

Sweet, Elijah hid his excitement at that announcement. His plan all this while has been getting close to Adele, what better way to do so than to work closely together. As usual, even the universe was on his side. He’s definitely born lucky.

Elijah pretended to be frightened as he took the phone from her and answered the call already ongoing.

“Hello? Adele? You fucking bitch! How dare you -”

“Hello?” Elijah said and there was a momentary pause. Cindy probably noticed there was something wrong with the voice.

“H-hello? Aziz?” Her once loud voice became meek at once, “Is that you?”

“Yes, it’s me.” He confirmed.

“Oh, thank God!” There was a relieved sigh from the other end of the phone, “Do you know how worried I was when you didn’t show up for work? Aziz, I miss you already! All of the guards here are no fun as you. What are they saying about you being in some camp or what?”

While Cindy was busy vomiting all of those words, Elijah was in a hot seat because the call was on speak out and Adele, whose face was now like shit heard everything. Was this girl trying to land him into deep trouble or what?

So he quickly said, “Cindy, you should forget me and move ahead with your life. From now on, I longer work under you and you should stop interfering with my work. Goodbye Cindy.” Elijah ended the call and hoped that was enough for Adele to keep him.
