Chapter 79 - James Santelmo Part 2 (2/2)

”What do you mean we lost?” She frowned.

”Alejandro has been captured. They're capturing everyone involved, so you have to go back to the shelter to avoid suspicion.” He answered.

Nina couldn't understand why James was being nice to him. He was supposed to be like the Mafia men, but she could sense some kindness in him for some reason.

”Why are you being kind to me?” She asked, curiosity piqued.

”I don't see any problem with that. You'll be my wife anyway, so I think it's best that we could at least get along.” He answered.

Nina suddenly remembered Andrew. They were enemies in the beginning, but they tried to get along and eventually fell in love with each other. She felt like her heart was being pierced, and from all the emotions she had been keeping to herself, she burst out crying.

James frowned. He can't blame her for hating someone like him anyway. She was caught up in this mess and left without a choice. Fuck! He hates seeing girls cry. He thought to himself.

He pulled her into his arms, comforting her. Nina knew she wasn't supposed to be close to this man, but her life would belong to him after all of this.

”I'm sorry if you are suffering. If only I could do something to help you.” James murmured.

Nina couldn't stop crying, and James let her. When he felt like she was fine, he let her go.

”Go to your friends. Go to your husband.” James said while opening the door for her.

Nina bit her lips, then slowly walked outside. She looked back at him and whispered thank you.

James chuckled when she thanked him.

”What are you doing, James? You shouldn't be like this. She should fear you.” He talked to himself.

His father told him that he would get married to Katharina Sommers. He didn't know her, so he started stalking her. And for the past six years, he had been following her every move.

He didn't like the idea of marrying her, but when he checked her background, he got interested in her. He didn't know that he started falling for a woman who was already in love with someone else.

He knew being his father's spy was the most painful thing she did to her husband and friends. He pitied her, so he wanted to help her by saving her husband's mother, but he couldn't find her. His father never trusted him. He was also like Nina, a puppet.

He couldn't do anything against his father. His mother was Galatea Vergara, also known as Camila. She was Alora Smith's aunt who joined the Mafia when the Smith's abandoned her. He didn't want to be at war with the Wilson Clan and the royal family, but he had no choice.

His father would kill him, his siblings, and his mother if he didn't obey his order. He was also caught up with this mess like Nina.

He sighed.

”Two months. See you in two months, my little wife..” He whispered before walking out of the palace.
