Chapter 543 - Five Hundred And Forty-Four: The Mafia Gave Her A New Life (2/2)

”A-hem,” Sakuzi cleared his throat, putting on his charming smile.

”Now, that is Valentino Armani but you should call him Sakuzi if you don't want a bullet in your head,” Cecil said.

Maggie paled.

”I'm kidding,” Cecil laughed, ”Sakuzi is the best mobster you would ever go get to know,”

Mobster? It dawned on Maggie. The guns? Cannabis? Violence? That explains it all. She was dealing with the mafia. The mafia rescued her.

”I'm sure you know why you're here,” Sakuzi said, his gaze boring into her own.

To keep my mouth shut, Maggie understood what was going on. Sakuzi was her Patreon. But she couldn't understand one thing. Does Cecil know Sakuzi supported her killing Fernandez? Maggie bet not.

With the little time she spent with Cecil while in prison, the woman had explained her connection to Fernandez, hence Maggie was able to put the whole picture together. Cecil was in the dark and they - including her husband - wanted it to remain that way.

Meanwhile, Cecil was confused by Sakuzi's question so she asked, ”Is there any other reason Maggie is here?”

”Of course, to thank me. All this wouldn't have been possible if not for my resources, remember?” Sakuzi lied to her, only the two others in the room knew the hidden meaning behind his words.

”Thank you sir for saving my life,” Maggie thanked him as necessary without Cecil reminding her. She owed her life to him.

”I owe my life to you, tell me how I can pay back the favor?” Maggie knew nothing was free in this world.

”You don't need to repay anything, I did this all for Cecil.”

Maggie's gaze softened at Cecil, what a selfless woman. She was so thankful.

Cecil smiled in understanding.

Emerald protectively stood in front of Cecil. Why was that woman staring at his wife that way? He didn't like this strange conversation - he felt left out in whatever secrets they were sharing with their eyes.

”Although, there are certain conditions you would have to meet since you're a dead woman now,”

Maggie was startled by Sakuzi's comment, ”What do you mean by that?”

”Maggie is dead,” Sakuzi revealed, ”To the world, you died in that attack yesterday, burnt beyond recognition,”

At that, Maggie's knees felt weak and she collapsed to the ground in gratitude. She understood what they did. They faked her death. They were giving her a new life.
