Contracted to the Mafia: A Plus-Size Bride
“Isn’t this our first night? I’m ready to give my body to you, Mr. Alexandro,” Lucia said, already wearing sexy lingerie.
Alexandro merely looked her over from head to toe. Lucia lowered her gaze; she wasn’t sure the man even wanted to touch her plump body. Alexandro stepped closer and closer, then pushed Lucia until she sat on the floor, her head tilting up toward her husband.
“Do you like BDSM?” Alexandro asked.
Lucia swallowed hard. This was the beginning of a nightmare for her.
***
Lucia had never lived as a loved child. After her parents died, she grew up in her uncle’s house and was treated like a burden. Lucia was fat, quiet, and constantly compared to her beautiful cousin; she learned to accept insults as a part of life.
Until one day, her uncle’s loan shark debts dragged Lucia into a contract marriage with Alexandro De Luca, a powerful man who was cold, cruel, and untouchable. That loveless marriage turned Lucia into a subject of ridicule in the cruel elite world, even in her own home. She was considered a disgrace and a wife unworthy of standing beside an Alexandro De Luca.

Chapter: Chapter 133After they left, the room fell silent again. Only my stupidity remained, hanging between me and Alexandro.I stood there, still trembling, still trying to process what had just happened. I had accepted a boxing challenge from Roseanne. I couldn't even do a single push up."Stupid," Alexandro muttered. He was already back in his chair, his hand reaching for the TV remote.He pressed a button. The television screen in the corner of the room lit up. A national news program was playing. A female reporter stood in front of a large boxing ring, with a bright red banner in the background."The charity boxing competition organized by Mayor Davian Ricci will be a gathering of famous boxers from various countries..."I barely paid attention to the reporter's words because beside her stood a man who made my blood run cold.Damien.A short-sleeved black shirt, his arm tattoos clearly visible. And those blue eyes. Those blue eyes staring at the camera with a thin, threatening smile."Mr. Damien, i

Chapter: Chapter 132"Alexandro!"I froze.My whole body went stiff. My head turned toward the door, the door that was supposed to be locked from the outside, but that door was open, and in the doorway stood a woman.Alexandro's mother and Roseanne.I panicked and pushed Alexandro, who was still behind me, still inside me, but he didn't move. Instead, he pulled my body closer, shielding me from their view with his broad body."Marco!" Alexandro shouted.Marco appeared from behind the door. His face was pale, sweat on his forehead, his mouth open like he wanted to say something but didn't dare."I'm sorry, sir. I tried to stop them, but Madam insisted. She said it's her right because she's your mother.""Get out," Alexandro ordered.Marco nodded quickly. He pulled the door, but before it closed, he glanced at me with a guilty expression. The door closed.But Alexandro's mother and Roseanne were already inside.I broke free from Alexandro's embrace. My hands trembled violently as I tried to fix my clothes.

Chapter: Chapter 131I nodded.Not because I knew exactly what he meant. But because of the way he looked at me, the darkness in his eyes, the tone of his voice that dropped half an octave lower than usual.Alexandro stood up from his chair. Slowly, like a predator that had just decided it was time to hunt. He walked toward me, past his large desk, past the papers still scattered on the floor, past Nathan's document that had fallen on my lap.He stopped right behind my chair.I could feel his warmth before he touched me. The scent of his cologne hit my senses. I closed my eyes, took a breath, and inhaled it.He bent down. His nose touched my hair near my ear. He inhaled. Deeply, like he was enjoying the scent of the rarest flower."You smell good today," he whispered."I'm not wearing perfume.""Exactly. This is your scent. Your natural scent that you've been hiding behind soap and lotion." He inhaled again. "I like it."I bit my lip. My hands, which had been resting on the desk, now gripped the edge of m

Chapter: Chapter 130Afternoon.I was busy copying data from the third file when the door opened without a knock.Marco walked in with a tense face. Behind him, a man stepped in quickly.Nathan.He didn't look at me. His eyes were fixed directly on Alexandro, and in his hand, there was a sheet of paper, maybe more than one, which he held tightly like a weapon."Alexandro De Luca," Nathan greeted, his voice full of anger.Alexandro lifted his head from his laptop. His face was flat as usual."There's no appointment today," Alexandro said."Appointment?" Nathan laughed bitterly. He walked closer, passing my desk without looking at me, and stopped right in front of Alexandro's desk. "I don't need an appointment to say this."He threw the papers at Alexandro's face.The papers scattered in the air. Some fell on the desk, some fell on the floor, one floated for a moment then landed on my lap. I looked down. It was some kind of official document, with a letterhead, a signature, a stamp.Alexandro didn't move. T

Chapter: Chapter 129We arrived at the office at exactly nine o'clock. Not late, but not early either. Usually Alexandro was already sitting behind his desk by half past eight, but this morning he chose to have a longer breakfast.I sat down at my desk and opened my laptop. An email from Marco had already come in with new attached files. Q3 sales report. Warehouse inventory report. Operational expense report.Numbers, numbers, and more numbers.Soon I would be starting college. I had already filled out the registration forms. Alexandro paid for it, of course. But at least it was an investment in my future. If this contract ended, I would have a degree. I would be able to get a good job out there, and then I could cut off communication with my uncle's family forever.I would not go back to that house. Never again.I glanced at Alexandro.He was focused on his laptop. His brow was slightly furrowed, his eyes moving quickly, reading something on the screen. Occasionally he typed, occasionally he stopped and

Chapter: Chapter 128That morning, I stood in front of the bedroom mirror with Alexandro's white shirt lying on the bed behind me.I had already showered. My hair was still a little damp at the ends. I had already put on my black pencil skirt, already put my glasses on my nose. Only the shirt remained to be put on.I picked it up. Soft cotton fabric, cool in my hands. I put it on slowly. Button by button.One. Two. Three.Then I stopped.The fourth button wouldn't go into its hole. My chest was too full.I sighed. I left the top two buttons undone, just like yesterday, just like what made Alexandro look at me with eyes I couldn't forget."I can't button it," I said to my reflection in the mirror."Leave it."I was startled and turned around. Alexandro stood in the bathroom doorway, still with a towel wrapped around his waist."Put some clothes on first," I said."No need." He approached. His steps were slow, like a predator approaching its prey. I stepped back. My back touched the mirror.He stopped right

Chapter: Chapter 98SERA'S POVThe next morning, we went to the doctor.Not just any doctor. I had searched online since the night before, reading reviews, looking for the closest one with a good reputation. Gabriel was hesitant at first. "Too risky," he said. But I didn't care. This was about our baby. About the small life growing inside me. I wouldn't take any chances just because we were afraid of being caught.The doctor practiced at a small clinic downtown. Her name was Dr. Evelyn Marsh, a middle-aged woman with light brown hair and a calming smile. I made the appointment under a fake name, of course. "Sarah Johnson." Gabriel waited in the car, afraid to come inside. But I told him, "If anything happens, I'll call."The clinic's waiting room was small and warm. I sat in a plastic chair, holding a small bag containing the pregnancy test I hadn't touched since last night. My stomach still felt strange, maybe it was just nerves, or maybe there really was something growing inside me."Sarah Johnson?"I

Chapter: Chapter 97SERA'S POVOne month had passed since we arrived at that old cabin in the middle of the forest.The cabin was never truly comfortable. The roof leaked in three places, so every time it rained, we had to place old buckets in the corners of the room. The fireplace needed firewood every few hours, and Gabriel often went out in the middle of the night just to make sure the fire didn't go out. The bed was too small for two people, so we slept crammed together, his body wrapping around mine like a shield.But I had never been this happy.Every morning, I woke up first. I'd heat water on the kerosene stove, make instant coffee that never tasted good, then sit on the porch and enjoy the sunrise through the trees. Gabriel would come out later, with messy hair and half-closed eyes, then sit next to me without saying a word.Sometimes, in the afternoon, we'd walk through the forest. Gabriel taught me the names of the trees, animal tracks, how to read directions without a compass.Sometimes, at n

Chapter: Chapter 96SERA'S POVThe sun was starting to lean west as we crossed into Idaho. The drive felt long, exhausting, but I didn't dare sleep. Gabriel drove with intense focus, his eyes constantly scanning the road, occasionally checking the rearview mirror. No one was following.We stopped in a small town called Coeur d'Alene. Not too small, but quiet enough. A blue lake stretched out in the distance, surrounded by towering pine trees."We need supplies—food, water, blankets. Maybe thick jackets. The cabin in the mountains is definitely cold," I said.Gabriel nodded and parked the car by the lake."I'll wait here. You do the shopping.""You don't want to go in?""My face is too recognizable. It's safer if you go alone."I sighed but didn't argue. He was right. His wanted posters might already be spread around small towns like this. I couldn't take the risk.I got out and walked to the mini-mart across the street. Inside, it was quiet. An elderly cashier smiled warmly, a few housewives were buying

Chapter: Chapter 95The car drove away from Seattle at a steady speed. I sat in the driver’s seat, my hands still shaking even though I tried to stay calm. Gabriel sat beside me in silence, his eyes occasionally checking the rearview mirror to make sure no one was following.Two hours into the drive, then three, the city got farther and farther away, replaced by green stretches of trees and an ever-widening sky. We didn’t talk much. I was too focused on the road, and Gabriel was too lost in his own thoughts.Until finally, I pulled over at a small rest area by the side of the road.“Let’s rest for a bit,” I said, turning off the engine.Gabriel nodded. He opened the door, got out, and walked over to a wooden bench under a big tree. I followed him and sat down next to him.“Where are we actually going?” I asked.He sighed. “I don’t know.”“Isn’t there any other hiding place? Besides your grandfather’s old cabin?” I asked.“That’s the only one, and they already know about it. If I go back there, I’d just m

Chapter: Chapter 94SERA'S POVI didn't let Gabriel come downstairs."You wait in the room," I said, pushing him back toward the stairs. "Don't come out. Don't appear at the window. Don't make any noise."He looked at me with a furrowed brow."Why?""Please. Do this for me," I said.He nodded, went back up the stairs, and closed the apartment door behind him.I let out a sigh of relief, then went back to the front of the shop. I opened the metal shutters, arranged the flowers as usual, smiled at Mrs. Harrison who arrived with her bright smile.But my hands were trembling as I held the flower shears.I waited until Mrs. Harrison was busy in the back, then I picked up my phone.I opened the news app, and there, on the front page, the headline made me freeze."OFFICIAL PACK ANNOUNCEMENT: BOUNTY FOR THE CAPTURE OF GABRIEL BLOODFANG."I read it once more."The Council of Elders of the Bloodfang Pack has officially announced a bounty for the capture of the former Alpha, Gabriel Bloodfang.

Chapter: Chapter 93SERA'S POVThe next day.Gabriel was still fast asleep. His large body was folded on the single bed that was too narrow, one leg dangling off the edge, his arm stretched out to the side where I had been lying. His face was slightly furrowed in sleep, as if he was dreaming of something unpleasant.I didn't wake him.I got up quietly, grabbed my jacket, and went down the creaky wooden stairs. In the small bathroom behind the shop, I splashed cold water on my face, staring at my reflection in the mirror. My eyes were a little puffy, my hair still messy, but not too bad. I took a deep breath, tied my hair back, and walked to the front to open the shop.I opened the metal shutters, arranged the flowers in front of the display case, changed the water in the vases that had started to cloud. This routine had been my solace for months. The scent of flowers, the quiet of the morning, the occasional sound of birds or passing cars.But this morning was different.The small TV in the corner of the

Chapter: Chapter 168Dusk slowly settled over the Wrenford mansion's yard. A gentle breeze rustled the maple leaves in the corner of the garden. Amid the rustling sounds, the soft laughter of Evan and Elis echoed as they ran around with soap bubbles reflecting the evening light.From the terrace, Liora sat leaning on a rattan chair, her hand holding a cup of warm tea. Her gaze fell on the two children, two little miracles who had become the center of her universe. Beside her, Xavier sat quietly with a closed laptop on his lap. Not because he was busy, but because he chose not to open it."It seems you’ve truly recovered," Liora said softly, without turning her head.Xavier smiled. "If my illness was ambition, then the cure is all of you."Liora looked at him for a moment. "And now, what remains?""Gratitude," Xavier replied.They fell into a long silence, enjoying the peaceful sounds of the evening. Below, Evan burst into laughter when his bubble popped in the air, while Elis clapped her little hands in d

Chapter: Chapter 167The morning sun streamed through the windows of their villa in Amalfi. Liora slowly opened her eyes and found Xavier already sitting on the balcony, gazing at the shimmering sea. There was a calmness in his face, something she rarely saw before, as if all the weight of the world had finally been placed somewhere he no longer had to carry it alone.“Awake this early?” Liora asked.Xavier turned and smiled. “I just wanted to remember this. The sound of the waves, the salty air, if I could bottle it, I’d take it home with me.”Liora stepped closer and sat beside him. “You can keep it here,” she said, tapping his chest lightly. “As long as you don’t forget how it feels.”Xavier gazed into the distance. “I won’t forget.”Liora took his hand in hers.Their plane took off that afternoon. Evan pressed his face to the window, pointing at clouds shaped like animals. Elis slept in Liora’s lap. Xavier watched them with a soft expression, two small reasons that made him smile even under the same s

Chapter: Chapter 166Morning in Italy felt different. Sunlight streamed through the olive branches that swayed gently in the courtyard of the small villa where they were staying. Liora sat on the terrace with a cup of coffee in hand, wearing a simple cream-colored dress. Her hair was loose, softly tousled by the wind. From inside the villa came the sound of Evan and Elis laughing, arguing over a straw hat.“Dad said this is an adventurer’s hat,” Evan insisted.Elis crossed her arms. “Papa said I’m the pretty one when I wear it!”Xavier appeared at the doorway, still in a white casual shirt and linen trousers. He held a camera in his hand.“If you two keep arguing, I’ll take a photo right now and send it to Grandma. She can decide who deserves the hat most.”The children immediately stopped fighting. Liora chuckled softly, watching her husband quietly snap a picture of them.“You’re enjoying being a spontaneous photographer,” she teased.Xavier sat down beside her.“Beautiful, isn’t it?” Liora murmured.“Y

Chapter: Chapter 165Xavier looked at Liora’s face, which reflected the soft glow of the garden lights. The smile on his wife’s lips slowly dissolved all the weariness in his chest.“Vacation, huh?” Xavier murmured, as if trying to imagine the word. “It’s been a long time since I’ve heard that word in my life.”“Exactly. You need to pause for a while. We all do. Max and Isabelle have started their new life. Now it’s our turn to enjoy ours,” Liora said.Xavier looked at her for a long moment, then lowered his gaze to their two children, still asleep on the chairs.“Maybe you’re right. They’re growing so fast, I don’t want to miss it.”“So?” Liora asked teasingly.Xavier raised an eyebrow. “You’ve already planned everything, haven’t you?”Liora pretended to look away. “Maybe a little.”“Liora,” Xavier’s voice was half a laugh, half resignation. “You’re always one step ahead of me.”The next morning, the Wrenford house was filled with the aroma of breakfast and the sight of suitcases lined up by the door.

Chapter: Chapter 164In the Wrenford mansion’s backyard, white tents stood tall, adorned with neatly arranged fresh flowers along the path. It was a big day for Max, the man who had stood beside Xavier from the very beginning, from boardrooms to moments of crisis.Xavier stood on the upper balcony, gazing down. From there, he could see Max in a light gray suit talking with guests. His steps were steady, yet Xavier noticed the small movement of Max’s hand, the way he tapped his fingers against his pants whenever he felt nervous.Isabelle, his sister, had just stepped out of the house accompanied by Liora. A simple white gown graced her figure, her hair tied up in a soft bun decorated with tiny pearls. Liora adjusted her veil while Evan and Elis stood on the steps, each holding a small basket of flowers.“Dad, can I throw the petals now?” Evan asked impatiently.“Not yet,” Xavier replied, patting his son’s shoulder. “After Aunt Isabelle walks, then you can throw them, okay?”Elis nodded, her expression seri

Chapter: Chapter 163A few days after that, Xavier’s house returned to its usual rhythm: the sound of small footsteps, short bursts of laughter, and first words that were not always clear in meaning but always made Liora smile.That morning Evan walked with enthusiastic little limping steps, dragging a cloth lion doll that had once been a gift from Liora. Elis, calmer but just as curious, followed behind carrying a bottle cap she considered a treasure.“Do not fight over it…” Liora warned before anything happened. But of course, she was too late, Elis grabbed the lion’s tail and Evan immediately screamed in protest.Xavier appeared from the kitchen with two slices of toast. “Good morning.”Evan immediately ran toward Xavier and hugged his father’s leg. Xavier lifted the child with one arm as if his body had no weight.“Hey, little fighter.”“Papa?” Evan mumbled half asleep.Elis saw that from Liora’s arms and began whining, asking to be carried too.Xavier laughed. “Alright, alright.

Every passing strand of time never truly disappeared; each remained in their hearts, becoming pieces of a long journey they would never trade for anything.The days after Liam officially retired moved with a different rhythm. For the first time in a long while, their home was filled with the sound of Liam’s footsteps almost all day long. There were no sudden emergency surgeries or late, night calls anymore.I continued working as a full-time surgeon, respected, well known, and often invited as a speaker at international medical conferences. Yet every time I stepped outside the house each morning, my heart remained the same as it always was longing to come home.Liam often walked me to the door, kissing my forehead like an old habit that never faded."Fight well today," he said every morning with a warm smile.I always replied,

Chapter: Chapter 177Days felt different since that decision was announced. The elders began arranging a special training schedule for Elena, including strategy classes, interpack diplomacy, territorial law, and even more intensive physical training. Meanwhile, Adrian became busy with advanced warrior training, preparing himself as a young Beta who would someday stand beside his sister.But the biggest change was visible in Liam.After decades spent in hospitals and in the leadership office of Darkmane, this year he officially entered retirement from being a surgeon. I was still used to seeing him in a white coat, walking quickly along the hospital corridor with a stethoscope around his neck. Now, that coat hung neatly in the wardrobe, and I could feel the emptiness left by a routine that once filled his entire life.On the first morning as a retired doctor, I found him sitting on the porch, reading a book with a frown as if he was forcing himself to enjoy his free time. The cup of tea in front of him had

Chapter: Chapter 176The Darkmane Pack meeting hall was filled with tension from the moment we arrived. The scent of pinewood and traditional incense filled the grand chamber, yet it was not enough to cover the uneasiness of the elders and warriors sitting in a circle. The temperature of the room seemed to drop several degrees as soon as Liam and I entered, while Elena and Adrian walked a few steps behind us.Liam, as always, radiated the authority of a leader. The elders bowed their heads in respect.“Thank you all for being here. We gather to discuss the future leadership of Darkmane. I will not be Alpha forever, and the time to choose a successor grows nearer,” Liam said.Quiet murmurs immediately echoed. Everyone was waiting for one thing, the name Liam would say next.The oldest elder stood up first. His white hair flowed and traces of battles were visible on his aged skin.“We respect your decision, Alpha. And we have considered everything.

Chapter: Chapter 175The sun had just risen when I finished making rounds in the post-operative ward. I was wearing my white doctor’s coat with a name tag that had become very familiar to many people. The nurses greeted me with respectful smiles, and a few young doctors followed behind me, taking notes on every word I said. It still felt strange every time someone addressed me with that long title, Doctor Sienna, a general surgery specialist who often appeared at national conferences and spoke abroad. But in reality, I had truly reached this point.I opened the door to a small procedure room, and Liam was already inside waiting for me, sitting casually while writing a report on his tablet. His hair had begun to turn gray, the fine lines on his face were more defined, but he still looked as handsome as he had twenty years ago, now with the added wisdom that made him even more captivating.“Finished your rounds?” Liam asked without lifting his head.I took off my mask and smiled widely. “Yes.

Chapter: Chapter 174Time passed. The house that used to be filled with the sound of a crying baby was now more often filled with laughter, music, and longer footsteps.Adrian grew from a tiny baby who fought for every breath into a strong, active boy who never got tired of chasing curiosity. Elena, who used to carry her unicorn doll everywhere she went, had now become a teenage girl with a diary full of dreams, ambitions, and the colors of adolescence. But one thing did not change: their love as a family.One afternoon, the golden sunlight streamed through the living room window. Liam was in the kitchen making fruit juice while I folded laundry on the sofa. Adrian, now 11 years old, sat on the floor tinkering with his robot toy. Elena, 15, sat at the dining table studying, though every now and then she glanced at her phone and smiled shyly.I knew that smile.“Is there something special?” I asked.Elena immediately closed her phone, her cheeks turning red. “Nothing. Biology assignment, something funny.”

His weight has increased, his independent breathing is good, and all vital organs are functioning normally. If nothing changes until tomorrow morning, you can take him home.”I immediately covered my mouth as I tried to hold back my tears. But they still streamed down uncontrollably. Liam took my hand right away, kissed the back of it, and stroked my hair gently.“We did it,” he whispered.I held Liam tightly.I looked down at the tiny incubator that now felt like the most loyal companion in our lives. Adrian was sleeping peacefully, his chest rising and falling slowly, his little hand gripping the blanket given by the nurses.“You’re finally going home, sweetheart,” I whispered as I touched the tip of his finger.The next morning, we signed all the discharge do
