The Mafia Prince And His Reincarnated Nemesis-Chapter 181: Proposed To Maya!

The media was going wild, but Eduardo and Maya were having their last course date at a restaurant. They weren’t even bothered about anything that was happening outside.

When the news about the two of them going on a date spread, some reporters left the Ivanov mansion and started to stalk their dates just to gather more information for their companies.

"I wonder if she’s still going to be at the manor, waiting for you," Maya said to Eduardo, as she sliced a piece of steak.

"Luca must have sent them out. I told him that if I do not return in an hour, they shouldn’t bother to wait for me," Eduardo replied with a charming smile as he was done dicing his steak. He swapped his plate with Maya’s and she buried herself into the chair, embarrassed.

"Thank you. I’m not that good with knives," she said.

"That’s why you use a whip adorned with blades?" He asked and she smiled before nodding.

The restaurant fell silent again. It wasn’t because they were alone in a VIP room, with nothing but elegance decorated around the room. The TV was on, but the volume of whatever was playing on the screen was low. The sound of their cutlery clanging and shallow breathing filled the atmosphere.

Eduardo heard his phone vibrating on the table. He took a quick glance and saw it was a message from Marcello. He immediately remembered that he forgot to reply to his message last night.

Dropping his cutlery, he picked up his phone to answer the call. He didn’t mind answering it in front of Maya and even put on a loudspeaker so he could continue eating.

"Hey babe... How should I punish you for ignoring my text?" Marcello’s voice echoed in the room. Maya paused what she was chewing and just swallowed it.

It was a male voice from the phone. Immediately, she was able to figure out that it was Eduardo’s lover. His voice sounded so cool and majestic even with the petty threat he was giving to Eduardo.

For some reason, she didn’t feel jealous at all. But whenever Eduardo was meeting other ladies from the company, old or young... It was as if she wanted to wrap her whip around them and fling them out the window.

"A simple apology could do..." Eduardo replied. Then Marcello’s dry laughter came from the phone. Eduardo stopped eating, noticing the sadness in his voice. Even if he wasn’t able to see his face or present expression, he was sure that something was going on.

"Tell me, what happened?" Eduardo asked.

Marcello didn’t reply from the other side of the phone. It was silent for a few seconds till he chuckled softly.

"I’m going to kill my father," he said.

Maya’s mouth widened in shock. There was no surprise look on Eduardo’s face. If he were to be Marcello, he would have killed his father a long time ago.

"What did you find out this time?" Eduardo asked.

"He killed my mother. And... Viktor wasn’t the one responsible for Carlo’s death, it was my father," he said.

’Just as I thought. That old man used Marcello’s butler to get rid of me and my family. That old bastard!’

Eduardo clenched his fist and Maya was there, wondering who Carlo was.

"Do you need help killing him?" Eduardo asked.

"I’d like to handle it my way, babe. A little torture would do. I’d kill him the same way he killed my mother and Carlo," he paused and realised he was talking about his old crush in front of his lover. "I’ve been mentioning Carlo too much, I’m sorry babe,"

A normal lover was supposed to get angry and jealous, but Eduardo wasn’t even showing any sign of any. He just smiled.

"It’s fine. Once it’s done, let me know. I’ll come to Italy then to seal our business,"

"Of course... I guess I’ll have to hurry his death," Marcello said, laughing. "Thank you, babe; your voice was what I needed to return to my senses. I can’t wait to meet you again and wrap my mouth around your..."

Eduardo pushed the red button before he could complete his sentence. He was sure Marcello was going to say pervy things and he wouldn’t want Maya to hear them.

"Did that bother you?" He asked Maya. She shook her head.

"Are you okay dating me when I have a lover?"

"I’m satisfied being your wife... I mean, fake fiancée or anything," she stuttered, her cheek flushing red.

"Then I guess you don’t mind being my wife..." Eduardo said and Maya froze.

"Wife? Like... real wife?"

"If you don’t wish to, it’s fine..."

"No!" She sprung up immediately. "I will marry you,"

Eduardo gently wiped his lips with a napkin and also rose from his seat.

"Then, shall we head to our last location today?" He asked, stretching his hand. She nodded, accepting his hand. Without finishing their dinner, they left the restaurant and got into the car.

"Home? Master," David asked.

"No. It’s not too late for me to buy a ring for my fiancée,"

David heard that and was stunned.

Ring?

"Then, the jewellery mall, it is," he said and started the car. The reporters also stalked behind them.

Maya was still shivering in joy. She’s getting engaged to him. Eduardo. She remembered what she said to Nadia then.

She promised herself that she wouldn’t fall in love with Eduardo but here she was.

They arrived at the mall and Eduardo bought a diamond ring for her. The stalker reporters took pictures of them and hurriedly uploaded them on the internet.

"I should have prepared well. I had no idea you wouldn’t mind marrying someone like me," he said.

"It’s fine. It’s the thought that matters," she said, blushing.

"Thank you for allowing me to use you, Maya,"

She turned away immediately.

"Let’s head home," she said.

They got home, and Antonio, who was waiting for them by the entrance congratulated his son on his proposal.

They didn’t join Antonio for dinner, so they headed to their room. While Eduardo was taking a shower, Maya was yelling at her brother who was laughing at her for getting popular on the internet.

"Weren’t you the one who said you’ll never get married to a man? Now, you’ve fallen in love. Oh Maya!"

"If you keep laughing, I’m going to block you from calling me." Maya tried not to yell.

"Fine. I’m sorry, Mrs lover girl. Make sure you tell your fiancée to contact me once this call ends,"

"I’ll think about it!" She disconnected the call and was about to throw the phone away when the bathroom door opened, and Eduardo walked out bare-chested.

"Was that your brother?" He asked.

"Yes, was I too loud?" She asked, softly.

"Ha! Not at all. You would only act like that whenever it’s your brother," he said with a smirk. She diverted her gaze from him, thinking of a way to change the topic. She thought and thought of what to say but the only thing in her head was... Carlo.

"Your lover mentioned a name then. Carlo. Was it his brother or... past lover? If he still cared about that person, why aren’t you angry or jealous?" She asked. Eduardo stopped drying his hair with a towel and looked at Maya. She flinched, hoping she didn’t ask something she shouldn’t have.

Eduardo lowered his head with a smirk.

"It’s a secret I’ve never told anyone. I’m not sure if I can trust you with the secret," he said.

"Secret?" Maya asked and walked closer to him.

"Trust me, I’ll keep it safe. But, if you don’t wish to tell me..."

"It’s fine. I’ll tell you since I’m keeping your secret," He said.

The fact that she was an assassin was the secret that he was keeping for her from her brother.

"I’m Carlo," he said. She raised her head, wearing a confused look.

"He said Carlo was dead..." She reminded him. Eduardo leaned on the desk and nodded.

"Yeah, I was dead but... I found myself in this body," he said but Maya didn’t show any sign of understanding. Her expression just made him laugh.

"Let me explain from scratch..."

.

.

It took almost an hour for him to explain everything to her. How he was killed by Marcello and then reincarnated into Eduardo’s body. He went to Italy to get his revenge but found out Marcello didn’t really kill him because he wanted to. How he met the real Eduardo and everything.

"It sounds so unrealistic," Maya wore a confused expression on her face. She almost didn’t want to believe what Eduardo had just explained to her.

"I know. But it happened either way..." He nodded.

"It doesn’t matter if you’re Carlo Morano or Eduardo Ivanov, you’re my husband," she said.

"What an obsessive thing to say. If that’s what you are saying then, you’re my wife," He smirked.

She nodded her head proudly. That’s what she wanted to hear from him.

"Do you intend to tell this to him?"

Eduardo nodded his head.

"That way, he won’t feel bad for what he did to me... I mean, Carlo. But, I don’t know how to tell him,"

"I’m sure he’ll listen to you," Maya assured him.

Eduardo silently agreed.

’Once everything is over and I head to Italy, I’ll let him know! I’ll tell him everything!’

He thought to himself.
