Seduction of my Mafia Stepbrother
Chapter 22 Come with Me, You Have No Choice
Sarah’s POV
Sitting in Federico’s Porsche, I realized I was drem lied to the home,
The car was spotless, not a speck of dust anywhere, but my seat had a puddle of water, and more was dripping from my hair and clothes onto the leather seats.
I was a total mess. I grabbed some issues and used both lands to day thy hair and face, then tried to mop up the seat as best as I could.
Federico wouldn’t make me pay for the car, would he? This ride must be worth over a million bucks,
I sneaked a glance at Federien, only to catch him staring at my chest,
Oh, crap! I forgot I was only wearing a white long–sleeve T–shirt, and new it was practically see–through, showing off my black bra.
Instinctively, I covered my chest with my hands, but then I thought, screw it, and turned to face him sideways. He’d seen it all before; no point in being shy.
“Address,” he barked.
I nervously licked my lips. “Near Barnsdall Park, there’s a Target at the corner. You can drop me off there.”
“Address! Be specific” His voice was sharp, more like a command.
I sighed and looked down, “15 Wilshire Street.”
The driver, who was driving, went, “Hmm?” and chatted briefly with Federico in Italians.
1 recognized him; he was the guy who drove me home on the wedding day, Luca.
After Federico responded, Luca hit the gas

“You live in Little Italy? Federico asked.
I replied, “Little Italy? I had no idea. I just found a place randomly.”
Last week, you were still living at your own place, I mean, Julia’s house Why’d you move?!
I fiddled with my wet hair and coughed awkwardly. “I moved out; it was inconvenient to stay there.”
“Inconvenient? As far as I know, after the wedding, she and Emily have been living at Caposta Manor.”
1 thought. Why does Federico keep prying into my life?” I turned my head to look out the window, ignoring him.
FREND He sighed, his tone like he was trying to calm a teenager. “You don’t know Little Italy? A lot of Italian immigrants live there, and there are frequent shootings and gang fights.”
He stopped, his eyes filled with anger, but he didn’t scold me further.
Of course, I knew it, on my first night there.
I felt like a kid who’d done something wrong and mumbled, “I was in a hurry, so I didn’t have much time to find a place. Once my

Internship ends next month, TIE look for a new place.”
The car soon stopped in front of the hundown building where I lived.
Thanks for the ride, Federico Goodbye.” I was about to open the car door when he grabbed me forcefully.
Wait. What’s your room number?”
“Why do you ask? My room is a mess; I can’t invite you in for tea right taw.” I was a bit flustered, and he saw all my expressions.
“I won’t go in. Tell me, the room number. If you don’t, Lancs will ask the fat guy to tell him, he insisted.
“B105.” My voice was barely a whisper.
Then he nodded at Luca.
Luca quickly got out of the car, carefully and vigilantly scanned the are before walking into the building. I saw his right hand was always in his coat, probably holding a gun, and I shivered.
Soon, Luca returned to the car and said a few words to Federico in Italian. I clearly saw a fire ignite in Federico’s eyes, turning into a raging inferno in a second.
“You’re living in a basement? How could people live in a basement? And in such a rundown place? Does the hospital pay you so little that you can’t even afford a decent and safe apartment?!” Federico asked directly.
“…Um. You, as the CEO, do you know how much an intern doctor earns I shot back angrily.
“No matter how much the salary is, you can’t live in a place like this. Only rats live here!” He yelled at me, veins bulging on his forehead.
I was totally caught off guard by his sudden outburst. Federica had always been the perfect gentleman; this was the first time he yelled at me like that..
Honestly, I always thought he was unshakeable, like nothing could rattle him, but right now, he was genuinely pissed because of me.
Do you get it? Living in a dump like this, anyone could bust down your door at night, rape you, then kill you, and toss you into the Chicago River. You’d end up a bloated corpse. Sarah Davis, how dumb are you to put yourself in such a dangerous spot?”
He leaned in close, towering over me, his whole body radiating anger. I felt like he might strangle me any second.
His face suddenly turned grim, and he raised his fist. Instinctively, I covered my head and screamed. Then I heard him punch the front seat hard.
He loosened his tie, unbuttoned the first button of his shirt, and said to Luca in a low voice, in English, “Move all her stuff out. Now!”
Luca quickly strode into the building.
I wanted to open the door and stop him, but Federico grabbed me. “Mo out!” he demanded.
“No, I can’t move out!”
“Move out! Right now!”
I looked into his eyes, knowing I couldn’t defy him, so I lowered my arm that was trying to open the door. I said. “Tomorrow, give me same time to find a place, III move out tomorrow, okay?” i almost pleaded with my eyes.

“No! You have to move out toddy, Knowing you live in a place like this, can I stand it for another minute, Federico said firmly.
“But tonight…” I didn’t want to stay at Caposta Manor. I’d rather live free than face fulla and Emily’s questions.
Alright, I could stay at a hotel for a night and hope my credit card still had some limit.
“Fine.” I sighed in resignation, “I’ll listen to you,”
Yeah, staying here was dangerous.

At that moment, I saw Laca carrying my only suitcase into the hallway the fat guy on duty stopped him and said something loudly, probably about money. Loca didn’t waste time with him, pulled out a gun, and pointed it at his head. Instantly, the fat guy shrank back into his room, out of sight.
After getting back in the car, Luca didn’t start it immediately but said a few words to Federico in Italian. I vaguely heard Antonio’s name. Federico’s face turned serious as he looked out the rear window. Following his guze, I saw some dark figures who quickly disappeared.
Federico’s face grew darker, and he almost gritted his teeth as he said, Let’s go.”
“Where are we going?” I started to panic, “I don’t want to stay at Caposta Manor. I need to get up early for work tomorrow. I can stay at a hotel near the hospital tonight, as long as it’s not too expensive.”
“To my apartment.”
“No way!” I almost screamed.
He turned his head with a sarcastic smile on his lips. “What? Are you scared now? Afraid I’ll rape you? How come you weren’t scared living in that rat hole?”

I tried to regain a calm tone, hoping to reason with him. “Federico, I dont think it’s appropriate

Luca, who was driving, let out a stilled laugh.
Federico glared at him. “I’m not staying at the apartment tonight; you’ll be alone.”

could I explain to him that I was afraid of sleeping in his big bed, smelling his scent, and then dreaming of having passionate sex with him! How could I say that?
“Are you worried that your non–existent boyfriend would mind?” Federico yelled.
Go to Broadstone!” he then shouted at Luca. Then he sat in the car, looking out the window, not saying another word to me.
