The Mafia King's Temporary Wife
You're going to Marry Adrian Di Salis unless we're all dead! My father screamed at me.
Nila was forced to marry a cold, dangerous man to save my family after her father stole millions of dollars from him. In Fact she had three million reasons to marry him but Adrian Di Salis is everything she should fear, powerful, ruthless, and untouchable. But behind his mask, she sees glimpses of something more, something broken. The more time I spend with him, the more I wonder, is he my captor, or could he be my savior?. Can she be able to make the Pakhan of the Russian Bratva fall in love with her?.
Adrian knew that this marriage was intended as a business agreement to secure his power in the bratva. Nila was only a pawn in the game. But she's more than I expected: strong, kind, and far too appealing. She makes me crave things I thought I couldn't have. Now, I'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe, even if it means destroying everyone who gets in my way or anyone who has caused her harm.

Chapter: I'm Pregnant Our lips are almost touching. “You made me a monster, Nila, because there’s nothing I wouldn’t do. You just have to ask.”My hands stop shaking, and my breathing slows down. Slowly, I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer until our lips finally meet.“Please don’t burn anything today, baby,” I whisper into his lips.I feel his smile and see the corners of his eyes crinkle. “I’ll think about it,” he whispers, kissing me.There’s a weight on my chest. Adrian is still holding himself up on his elbows, but his front is pressed against mine. For a moment, I panic, but then my brain focuses on his lips, and I relax. God, he’s an amazing kisser.“More, baby,” I mumble, and he puts more of his weight on me.“Is this good?”Not just good. Perfect. And now the hardest part. “Hand on my neck, Adrian.”“Nila.”“Please.”His right hand slowly moves over my chest, then higher, until it’s on my neck. I hold my breath. My hands stay still on his shoulders, and I close my eyes.“It’s just m

Chapter: I Love You Nila thinks for a moment, then nods. "He deserved it," she says and snuggles back on my chest. "Just don’t kill anyone else because of me."I listen until her breathing becomes slow and steady. When I know she’s asleep, I take her hand, kiss her fingers, and whisper, "I’ll kill anyone who tries to hurt you. But I’ll make sure you never find out."Three months later“You’re not coming with me to buy the wedding dress, Adrian.” I stare at him across the kitchen, standing with my hands on my hips. “I will wait outside the changing room. I won’t look, but I’ll be there.” “No,” I say. “Yes.” “This is silly.” “There’s nothing silly about me worrying for your safety. I can’t forget the day when the man Leonid hired tried to hurt you. You have no idea what it felt like not knowing if you were alive or hurt. I never want to go through that again.” He walks up to me, picks me up by the waist, and sits me on the counter. It’s my favorite place. “Show off.” I reach out and squeeze hi

Chapter: Marry MeADRIAN'S POV He doesn't say anything for a little while, just staring at me with his fingers holding the back of my head."Marry me," he says, "and I will stop the war."Nila’s eyes get wide when she hears me. She’s probably wondering if I’m serious, and I am. I will do whatever it takes to bring her back."You’re forcing me to marry you. Again."It's not really a question, but I answer anyway. "Yes, I am."Her eyes keep looking into mine. They’re red and full of tears. She probably doesn’t even notice she’s still crying. I want to wipe the tears away, and I tell myself that this will be the last time she cries because of me.I need her to say yes. I can't stand the thought of spending another night without her next to me. She took my heart when she left, and if she says no, she can keep it. I can’t love anyone else."Jesus, Adrian," she sighs and puts her hands over her eyes.I look at her hands, which have black paint on them. Hope starts to grow in my chest. "You didn’t take the r

Chapter: You Fucking Left Me!!“He was shot in his upper arm. He was lucky it just went through, nothing too serious. This time. Please, talk to him. If you don’t, he’ll end up getting himself killed, Nila. It’s only a matter of time.”“Oh, I will talk to him.” I stand up from the table and quickly grab my jacket and wallet, wiping away my tears with the sleeve of my shirt. “I’ll call a taxi for us.”“Igor can drive us. I think it’s her shift,” she says calmly.“He’s close by?”“You could say that. She’s right across the street.”I look up at her, then go to the window to check outside. As she said, there’s a plain car parked there. “He’s been spying on me?”“He’s just making sure you’re safe. They’ve been doing that for months.”“I’m going to kill him.”When we leave the building, I head straight across the street toward the car and knock on the window. Igor looks up quickly, then lowers the window.“Nila Di Salis?”I grit my teeth but don’t correct her, simply motioning to Katya, who is walking over.“We need a r

Chapter: Please Come Home Three Days LaterMy phone starts ringing on the nightstand, but I ignore it and put a pillow over my head. The ringing stops, only to start again a minute later. I groan, reach for the phone, and answer without looking to see who it is.“Did I wake you up, dear?”I sit up in bed, wide awake now. “Katya?”“I need to talk to you. Can I come over?”“Sure, I’ll send you the address.”“I’ll be there in an hour.”“Katya, what’s wrong? Is... is he okay?”“Yes. For now, at least. We’ll talk when I get there.”A bad feeling grows in my chest as I look at my phone. I know something’s wrong. I rush to the bathroom to shower and get changed. I’m picking up the brushes and crumpled sketches scattered around my living room when I hear the doorbell.“What has he done now?” I ask as soon as Katya walks in.“I like the hair, kukolka. Green looks good on you.” She kisses me and smiles, but it doesn’t reach her eyes. “Let’s sit down.”I lead her into the kitchen, pour two cups of coffee I made earlier,

Chapter: Love Isn't Always Enough Three Weeks Later “Igor called,” I hear Sergio’s voice in my earpiece. “Two cars just passed them, and they’re coming toward you. Get out of there now.”I curse under my breath. “Nico is still inside,” I reply, checking my gun and looking at the back of the Italians’ warehouse.“They’ll be here in less than five minutes, Adrian.”“I’m not leaving him.”“I told you to bring more men! Damn it, Adrian, you never listen.”“There were supposed to be only two security guards. Maybe someone warned them. We’ll leave as soon as Nico’s out.”I turn to Anton, who’s sitting in the driver’s seat, and nod toward the back door on the far side of the warehouse, about fifty feet away. “The second you see Nico, go. We’re going to have company.”Two minutes later, I hear the cars coming from the right. Then, the back door of the warehouse opens, and Nico runs out.“Go!” I shout.Anton starts the car, speeding toward Nico. I roll down the window, aim at one of the cars coming from a side road, and start

Chapter: Chapter 122ARIELLA The cart pulled back, made a loud noise, then started falling fast.The stranger stopped my scream by kissing me. His lips were hot and salty, holding mine like he owned them. All my fear and nervous thoughts disappeared. He tasted like smoke, mint gum, and something wild. Like a real man. I let go of the safety rail and grabbed his black shirt, pulling him closer. In that moment, we were something wild—like a monster kissing a princess, with no hero around to save her.He bent his head, held my cheek, and put his other hand behind my head. His tongue touched my lips, soft at first. Then I let the kiss get deeper. Our tongues moved together, slowly at first, then more. My stomach dropped, and my fear was gone. I started getting aroused and my hips moved on their own. I pressed my legs together as my panties got soaked just as I felt fresh air on my face.The ride was over and we were outside again. He pulled back, his face calm. Too calm. Like he didn’t care.Girls in the car

Chapter: Chapter 121ARIELLA He looked right at me, like he had every right to. His eyes said things no stranger should say. It felt like he owned the world, and since I was in it, he thought he owned me too. That’s when I realized something about this was strange and maybe even a little dangerous.I wanted to show myself to this man. I never felt that way before. Not for any man. Not even for love. And I didn’t mean just taking off clothes.I wanted to break him open then reach inside and see every little thing about him. His good parts, bad parts, and all his habits. Who was he? What was his past? Why was he talking to me?“You think you’re not special,” he said softly.“Do people think they are special?” I asked.“Only the ones who aren’t,” he replied.“I'm sure you’re the bad one in your family,” I said, pushing my hair back. He smiled, and I felt it deep inside me. The air around us even felt warmer.“Right again.”“I bet you were stubborn as a kid,” I said, trying to imagine him as a little boy.“

Chapter: Chapter 120ARIELLA I grabbed the sleeve of the guy running the ride and pulled on it.“I want to get off,” I said.He looked me up and down slowly, staring too long at my bare legs.“Damn, sweetheart, I’d like to get you off too. But I have to finish my shift. I need the money,” he said, sounding high.I held onto his hoodie and forgot all the manners I’d learned in fourteen years. I was too scared.“No! I mean I want to get off the ride. Unless… can someone sit with me?” I asked, a little hopeful.“Girl, it’s just a ride. If you’re taller than four feet, you can go,” he said, shaking off my hand. “You’ll survive.”“I know. I’m not scared. I just—”“Look…” He held up his hand to stop me. “If I don’t press that red button every three minutes, I lose my job. So are you getting off or staying on?”I was about to say I’d stay on and that I was just being silly, when someone stepped forward and cut in line.“She’ll stay on, Sir.”I didn’t want anyone to see me cry even as tears filled my eyes and ri

Chapter: Chapter 119AURORA'S POV Aiden gave the door an annoyed look, then looked back at me. I raised my hands. “I can’t control what my sister says.”“If you could, it would be a full-time job. Have you heard from Morgana this week? She asked when she could visit.”After Aiden and I got back together, I started talking to Morgana Landon again. She was getting a divorce from Herold, who was still in therapy. He worked as a legal consultant and was trying to be a better dad to Tree and Tinder. Morgana was happy when I started visiting her again. I often brought Aiden with me. He watched Tinder and gave Morgana advice.We even took the kids and Aiden to visit Mrs. Veitch for Christmas at her nursing home. She passed away a few weeks later in her sleep.“I need to call Morgana back, but I hope the next time I see her, I’ll have a baby in my arms. Can you help me up? I need a shower.” I moved around on the bed.“I’ve got you.” Aiden picked me up and carried me to our bathroom. I stood under the warm shower

Chapter: Chapter 118AURORA'S POV Sandy and Ariella were in the room too, fussing over me.“I’m tired of crying every time I see a Super Bowl ad or hear a Katy Perry song on the radio.”“You cry because she’s a bad singer, right?” Annabelle sat at the end of my bed, rubbing my feet. “Just making sure your hormones are only messing with your feelings, not your music taste.”I laughed and gave her a gentle kick. “I’m being serious.”“My mood swings never stopped,” Sandy said, lying on a recliner in the corner of our bedroom. “I remember pushing Tanya in her stroller on a walking path, and I saw a squirrel running around. I thought its tail would be good for cleaning baby bottles. It was very fluffy, okay?”“No offense, girl, but you’re not the best example,” Annabelle said, putting my right foot on her leg and pressing her thumbs into the bottom of my foot. “You got pregnant again before Tanya even learned to recognize voices. Does your husband know he can stop sometimes?”“No,” we all said at the same tim

Chapter: Chapter 117AIDEN'S POV I had been in and out of clinics. Besides Tourette’s, I was also told I had OCD and ASD. To me, it felt like my world had ended. People think Tourette’s means you scream bad words without control and look crazy. They think OCD means you wash your hands over and over. And ASD means I’m on the autism spectrum. Most people think that means I’m like Rain Man—very good with numbers, but not smart in other ways. I quickly knew I had to get better if I wanted to live the life I wanted. I learned that I couldn’t stop the tics, but I could stop the things that made them happen. The tics came when I felt too much. Any strong feeling made it worse—sadness, anger, fear, or even happiness. If I got too excited, a tic attack would come soon. So I learned not to feel anything. If I stayed calm and didn’t feel too much, the tics stayed away. It was simple, and it helped everyone around me too. Well that explained a lot. Why Aiden always wore leather gloves because he didn’t like touch
