Contract Marriage to the Cold Hearted Mafia Boss
Damn, you're delicious," he murmured into her mouth. "You taste like a goddess." She heard the sound of his belt buckle, and her frantic heart stopped because she knew what was coming.
"Damn, I need to be inside you," he declared with a hint of desperation that she loved.
She reacted and helped him free himself from his pants because she needed it, too, and she needed it now.
But when his member was finally free, and she felt him position himself, his gaze wandered for a moment to a spot behind them. It was only for a second, but that second was enough to see how the entire expression on his face transformed.
The desire froze, and instead of the fiery, passionate man from a moment ago, he was that block of ice he usually was again. He took two steps back and looked down.
She sat up, confused.
"What's wrong?" she asked, baffled.
He tensed his jaw and shook his head while zipping up his pants again. A whirlwind of emotions crowded her chest and got stuck in her throat.
"Enzo," she called out, but he didn't respond.
He bent down to pick up his shirt and walked toward his room without looking at her.
"Enzo!" she yelled, but he ignored her and entered his room, slamming the door.
She was left on the island, naked, not understanding anything. All the fire went out, giving way to a sadness that settled in her heart.
He rejected her. Enzo rejected her.
After his wife’s death, Enzo Romano swore his heart was buried with her. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable.
But when duty forces him into a contract marriage with innocent Arianna, the girl who secretly adores him, she finds herself falling for a man who will never love her back.

Chapter: Chapter 72: Confessions Arianna"What exactly do you mean?" I inquired hesitantly. "I heard you that night, Enzo, the one that was supposed to be our wedding night. I heard you with that woman."Enzo closed his eyes, and his face contorted as if something was hurting him."Yes, that night I slept with someone else."How many wounds can a heart receive before it breaks completely? I didn't know, but mine was receiving too many. He wasn't telling me anything I didn't already know, but damn, how it hurt!"Do you want to know why I did it?" he asked rhetorically.I slowly shook my head, unable to speak because that would mean letting the tears escape. Even though it seemed like it, I wasn't that masochistic. I didn't want to hear how he preferred another woman's body over mine."I did it because ever since I saw you on the day of the stupid agreement we call engagement, I couldn't get you out of my head. I did it because when I saw you walk into that church, my heart stopped, and my hands started sweating as if

Chapter: Chapter 71: No Other Woman AriannaArianna placed the pill on her tongue and swallowed it with water. It was the last one for the day. Her stomach growled, begging for food, but she had asked Gina to leave before she had time to prepare dinner, and Arianna didn't have the strength to cook.Today, she hadn't wanted to see anyone. In fact, for the last three days, she hadn't wanted to see anyone. It was just her solitude and her. Enzo had returned to the starting point, to those days when he arrived past midnight and left at dawn, all to avoid seeing her. What had happened between them sent them back to square one, or perhaps they had never advanced at all, and it had all been her imagination.Perhaps it was only her desire to make this work somehow that made her feel like she was achieving it, that she was sneaking into his heart, even if just a little bit. How foolish she was to think that. Enzo would never feel anything for anyone who wasn't... Her.Arianna looked at the portrait on the wall, and her heart shr

Chapter: Chapter 70: Crazy WifeArianna"That's what you say, but I don't supervise you." I use his words against him and shrug. "In fact, if you're so convinced you don't want children, you're the one who should get a vasectomy. It's not fair that I continue to fill my body with hormones and put myself at risk when you're the one who despises the idea of a child."I break free from his grip and step into the elevator."Wait for me, I'm going with you.""No, it's not necessary. I already told you, you don't have to pretend you care, and if you want to supervise to ensure I'm not lying, don't worry, I highly doubt the doctor will dare to lie to you with the panic he has for you. I'm more than sure he'll keep you updated on everything.""Arianna, please.""Enough, Enzo!" I raise my voice, though it cracks at the end. "Let's stop pretending this is a marriage, because clearly, it's not."He remains static, and I take advantage of his apparent shock to close the elevator and descend. I lean against the back wall and let

Chapter: Chapter 69: Bitter TruthAriannaI woke with a terrible headache, feeling as if a herd of elephants had walked all over me. I looked to the other side of the bed and was no longer surprised to find it empty. I'd resigned myself to this abandonment. Even if I were truly dying, Enzo wouldn't spend a night with me, much less if there wasn't even sex involved.I placed a hand on my neck, and the skin felt hot to the touch. Shivers threatened to return, and I gathered the little strength I had left to get up and take the medicine the doctor left last night. Then I headed to the bathroom to take a shower before the fever rose.I didn't have much time since I had to go to the clinic for the tests the doctor indicated, and apparently, I'd have to ask Marco to take me because my exemplary husband had already left.I dressed as quickly as my weakness allowed, without putting much effort into getting ready, just wearing a loose tracksuit and sneakers. Today, I cared little about pretending to be the lady I really was no

Chapter: Chapter 68: Just a FeverHe carries me to the bathroom and manages to fill the tub while holding me. When everything is ready, he enters with me, and we submerge in the water that, although warm, feels like sharp darts piercing my skin. I cling to him even tighter to withstand the shudder and the tremors that break out.Enzo takes the sponge to rub my skin, seeking to bring down my body's high temperature, which paradoxically makes me feel like a glacier."Calm down, the doctor is on his way," he announces, and I emerge from the cover of his chest to look at him strangely."Doctor?" I question with a trembling voice. "It's just a fever, Enzo. I'm sure I'll be fine tomorrow."He pushes the damp strands of hair from my face, and the way he looks at me makes my heart beat faster than the fever itself."Perhaps, but I'm not going to risk anything happening to you."The sincerity I feel in his words and the fear I notice in his eyes make me swallow hard, but I mentally reprimand myself and force the stupid thing p

Chapter: Chapter 67: Whatever You Please Enzo"She is not an object, Antonio!" Ilaria exclaims while continuing to hug Ari. "How can you say she 'belongs' to him?""You know what I mean, Ilaria.""That means that if one day I want to divorce you, I won't be able to because I 'belong' to you," she says, ironizing the last words.I notice the terror in Antonio's eyes when he hears those words and how he swallows hard before answering:"Don't even joke about that, regina."Arianna wipes her tears and confronts him:"I know that for you, we are nothing." She looks at Antonio and then at me, and the disappointment I see in her eyes crushes me inside. "I know we are just pawns in your game, that we are only useful to you while our legs are open." Antonio slightly lowers his gaze with a hint of shame that I also feel. "I know my position, and Chiara knows it too. She understood it before me and accepted it with the greatest dignity she could; but she is giving up now, I know it, I feel it, and I'm terrified of losing the only perso
