The Mafia Prince And His Reincarnated Nemesis-Chapter 173: The Gift!

Sofia and the old man’s gaze travelled to the door, seeing Maya. Even Eduardo was shocked at her sudden arrival and her dress. He leaned back on the couch, with a grin appearing on his face.

"You! Who are you?" Sofia asked.

"Oh my!" She covered her mouth with her hands, letting out a fake gasp. She walked closer to Sofia and Sofia moved away from her.

"Did I forget to introduce myself? I’m Maya... Or should I say, Maya Ivanov," she smirked.

"Lies! You can never be an Ivanov. There’s only one daughter in this family. That means you’re..."

"That’s right, princess. I’m married to the man you wish to claim" Maya got closer to her, touching her hair. Sofia froze as tears rolled down her cheek.

"But, my father promised to give him to me,"

"Give him to you? What a shabby promise." Maya frowned, grabbing her hair. Sofia shrieked in pain. Mr Vladimir tried to separate them. But she pushed him away and he fell back onto the couch.

Eduardo chuckled loudly.

Maya yanked Sofia’s hair and forced her to look into her eyes.

"Here’s one thing you should know... My husband is not an object you can claim. Is that clear?"

"I’m sorry... Let go of me!" She cried.

"That’s it, babe..." Eduardo finally appeared behind Maya, gently taking her hand into his. Maya let go of Sofia’s hair as Eduardo wrapped his hand around her waist. Her cheek flushed red as her body pressed against his.

"I’m sorry, Miss Sofia Perillo, but as you see... I have someone already,"

"I... Impossible! I don’t believe it! But my father said..."

"Don’t believe everything your father tells you,"

"You’re lying, right? You don’t want to get married to me so..."

Eduardo touched Maya’s chin, making her look at him. He pressed his lips against hers. She froze for the first five seconds.

’He... He’s kissing me! No wait... How did it happen so quickly?! How can a man’s lips be this soft?’

She accepted the kiss, her fingers brushing into his wet hair.

Sofia cried even harder. She grabbed her bag and ran outside. Mr Vladimir stood up from the couch. He wanted to follow her and paused to look at Eduardo and Maya, who were still kissing.

"You... such an unfilial grandson! If this gets ruined, I’ll punish you!" He said and walked away, slamming the door close.

Eduardo took his lips off Maya’s. Her face was burning red with embarrassment.

"I’m sorry I kissed you without permission. Did I hurt you?" He asked.

"No, you didn’t. It’s fine," she answered, covering her mouth shyly.

He slid his hand off her waist and walked back to the couch.

"Good job. But you didn’t need to yank her hair..."

"Are you feeling sorry for her?" Maya asked. He smirked and shook his head before sinking into the couch.

"Not at all. In fact, I appreciate you getting upset for my sake babe" he winked and snickered.

’Fuck! He’s so hot!’

She felt her chest tightened. She wished the kiss didn’t stop there.

’It would have been better for him to lose control, and rip my dress off my body. He can apologise after fucking-- no wait! What the hell is wrong with me?’

She grabbed her hair. She snapped out of her thoughts when Luca walked in.

"Your grandfather and the princess left the estate, Master," he announced.

"That’s good. I have no idea what that old man would do next but double the security. Maya’s life could be in danger," he said, placing the bottle of alcohol on the table. He didn’t even use it since Maya did all the job. He stood up, taking the heavy gold off his neck.

"Are you worried about me? An assassin? I’m capable of taking care of myself" Maya pouted. He ruffled her hair like a puppy.

"Even if you’re an assassin, you’re also human. And again, I can’t let my woman wander around unprotected. What kind of man would I be?" He smirked and walked towards Luca.

Maya stood there, daydreaming about what Eduardo had just said to her.

’Referring to me as his woman, kissing me and giving me all of this protection. Why does it seem all real?’

"What about my uncle?" Eduardo asked.

"He’s in the lobby. He arrived just a few minutes ago," he said.

"Great, I’ll go see him. Take this back to my room, Luca," he handed him the gold necklace.

"Yes, Master" Luca nodded.

"And Maya," Eduardo called her name. She snapped out of her thoughts and looked at him. "You should change your dress and meet me at the lobby. I should introduce you to my uncle."

"Sure" she nodded and watched him leave.

Luca walked closer to Maya, wearing a sly grin.

"You seem shy... How long did you two do it?" He asked.

"What the hell are you talking about?" She asked.

"Kiss," Luca responded.

Her eyes widened. Luca wasn’t around when they kissed, but he knew what happened.

"Were you fucking spying on us?" She grabbed his collar. He swiftly raised his hand in mock surrender, shaking his head.

"No! I didn’t. I saw your lipgloss around his lips," he said.

"Ugh! Fuck!" She swiftly left, taking her hand off his collar. Luca smirked.

"I’ve never seen a shy assassin before... Kikiki"

Eduardo, on the other hand, arrived at the lobby. He saw Chrishan, seated with his eyes glued to his phone. He closed the door and the soft thud alerted Chrishan. His eyes widened, seeing the way Eduardo dressed.

"I’m truly honoured to see you dressed like this,"

"Take your eyes off my body, you pervert!" He frowned.

"Pervert? What a way to say hi to me. You’re cute, so I’ll accept it."

Eduardo ignored him and sat distanced from him. Chrishan smirked.

"You look tired,"

"I’m not. I just sent my arranged fiancée and grandfather out of the house. Ah! I forgot, he’s your father" he said.

"My father was here? Hmm," Chrishan rubbed his chin. He looked back at Eduardo before asking... "What for?"

"He brought the prime minister’s daughter here for marriage."

"Ha! And you rejected her!" He laughed loudly for over ten seconds before wiping the tears off his eyes. "I’m falling in love more and more, nephew"

"Don’t call me that, it’s disgusting," Eduardo flashed him a glare.

"I’ll try." Chrishan nodded his head and his expression changed immediately. "My father is dealing with something illegal and it could ruin the company if exposed to the public. I have to become the owner of the company immediately, then reveal his crimes"

"You’re an impatient one, Chrishan."

"What can I say? I don’t want him to ruin the company before I make it mine" he shrugged.

"Besides that, what kind of gift do you have for me?" Eduardo furrowed his eyebrows.

"You should be the impatient one, nep- I mean, sir Ivanov" he corrected himself, wearing a sly smile on his face.

He took out a brown envelope that was heavy and filled with documents. Also, a USB drive. He handed them over to Eduardo.

"You should read these and burn them once you’re done. You can’t let someone else see them. Don’t worry, I have the original copy with me" he leaned on the wall close to Eduardo.

"Sure... What about the USB drive?"

"Ah! There are porn videos in there..."

Eduardo raised his hand, wanting to throw it away but Chrishan stopped him. He caught his wrist, holding back his laughter.

"It’s the main present. But make sure you watch it alone" he winked.

"Tsk! Get your hands off me!" Eduardo slipped the USB drive into the brown envelope. He hid it behind him and looked at Chrishan, who was still standing close to him.

"What else do you want?" She asked.

"Me? Can’t I spend quality time with my... I mean, you? We could go on dates or... Play golf together. I heard your manor has a soundproof golf room." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"My father and my aunt’s husband must be there. Even if they aren’t there, I wouldn’t want to spend another minute with you," he answered and stood up.

"How mean. A few weeks ago, you pressed your lips against mine, but now, you’re treating me like a stranger. Don’t you care about my heart?" He asked.

"That’s enough! If you need my help, you shouldn’t be talking about that day" he walked away from him. Chrishan stopped in front of him, trailing his finger on her chest.

"You seem too hot for me to ignore, Eduardo. You know you can always visit my bar and..."

"If you don’t take your finger off my body, I’ll break it," he said.

"Ugh! How scary!" He grinned.

"Hey! Didn’t you hear? Take your filthy hands off his body!"

A voice came from behind. Eduardo tilted his head, looking at Maya. She was back to her regular pants and crop top.

Before Chrishan could turn to look at her, she shoved him away from Eduardo.

"Are you alright?"

"What am I? Five?"

"Who knows? How could you let that bastard lay a--" She turned to look at Chrishan and froze.

"M... Maya?" He called.

Her eyes shot wide open.

"Older brother?"
