185 Days Bound To The Mafia Lord 91
Aspen Clear practically bounced into the bedroom, dragging me behind her as if I had no choice in the matter. “Aspen! Come on, we don’t have all day! You need to look amazing for your date tonight,” she said, practically vibrating with excitement.“I—Clear, wait—” I started, but she didn’t give me a chance. She yanked open my wardrobe, rifling through clothes with lightning speed. “We need something elegant but not over-the-top, classy but flirty. Something that says, ‘I’m approachable, but look, I have standards.’”I blinked at her. “Clear… I just—”“No talking. Let me work my magic,” she interrupted, holding up a deep red dress with a flourish. “This one! It’s perfect! Look at this color! Deep, rich, dramatic. Killian won’t know what hit him.”I hesitated, glancing at the dress. It was stunning—soft fabric that would cling just enough without being too tight, a slit that flirted at the right angle—but I felt a nervous flutter in my stomach at the thought of Killian seeing me in it.

Aspen I yelled when he yanked the phone again, my voice sharp enough to make even the walls tremble slightly. “Killian! Seriously? Give me back my phone!” I snapped, snapping my hand toward him, though he was fast—way too fast—and his fingers wrapped around my wrist, stopping me.He didn’t answer me immediately. He just held my phone away, just out of reach, and tilted his head like he was considering me, sizing me up. The silence stretched long enough to make me swallow hard, my anger shifting into frustration.“You know what?” he finally said, his voice low and deliberate. “You love to hang out.”I froze mid-gesture, blinking at him. “Excuse me?”“You like spending time with people,” Killian repeated, letting my words linger like a dare. “You like going out. You like laughing, being around others. You enjoy it, right?”I blinked at him, caught completely off guard. He wasn’t accusing me. He wasn’t scolding me. He was… stating it like a fact. Something dark and possessive in the way

Aspen I was sitting on the edge of the sofa, phone pressed to my ear, and I could feel the corners of my lips tugging up into a smile I couldn’t quite hide. “Yes, Mom is doing better,” I said, trying to sound casual, though Luke’s voice made it impossible not to grin.“That’s good to hear,” he replied, smooth as always. “I’ll be in the city for a few days. Maybe we could grab coffee? Just catch up properly?”Coffee sounded perfect. Nothing serious, nothing romantic. I liked Luke. I liked hanging out with him. He made things easy and light, and after everything with Killian, a little ease was exactly what I needed. “Sure, that sounds nice,” I said, hoping my voice didn’t sound too eager.Then Killian appeared like a storm on my doorstep, fast and sudden. Before I could even process what was happening, he yanked the phone from my hand.“Who’s this?” His voice was low and sharp, the kind that made your stomach tighten involuntarily.“Killian! Give me back my phone!” I snapped, standing

Aspen Clear and I finally went home. The drive had been quiet, filled only with the sound of rain tapping against the car window and the occasional sniffle from me. Clear had not spoken much, lost in her own thoughts, probably replaying the encounter with our mother over and over in her mind. I had tried to speak, to explain a few things, but the words stuck in my throat. My mind was still spinning, still raw from the fear, the panic, and the weight of being unseen.As soon as we arrived, Clear went straight to her room. She dropped her bag beside the bed and collapsed onto the mattress, her body heavy with exhaustion. She did not even glance at me. Her breathing was steady but slow, a clear sign that her mind and body were done for the day. I watched her for a moment, wanting to speak, to say something comforting, but the words faltered again. She was gone in her world now, and I was left behind.I sank into the sitting room, the only quiet place in the house that felt empty enough

AspenFear hit me the moment my mother asked about our father. My chest tightened, and my stomach knotted as if someone had wrapped it in iron. My fingers trembled, clutching my bag as if it could hold me together. Every nerve in my body screamed at me to run, to disappear, to sink into the floor and vanish. I could barely breathe.My lips moved, but no sound came out at first. My mind spun, wild and panicked. The question was simple, but it felt like a trap. I had no words that would satisfy her. No lie that could survive her sharp, piercing gaze.Clear’s eyes searched mine, desperate. “Aspen,” she said quietly. “Where is he?”I tried to steady my trembling hands. My mouth opened and closed as I scrambled for something, anything that could sound true. The panic in my chest pressed harder, making my thoughts whirl uncontrollably.“He… he went to find you,” I said at last, voice shaking. “He… he said he had to bring you back, he was scared for your life, and he wanted to make sure you

ASPEN I walked down the hospital corridor with Clear behind me. The floor was too shiny, the lights too bright, and every sound echoed as if the building itself were holding its breath. I felt smaller with every step. Clear’s presence made it worse, because she belonged here in a way I never had. I had spent three years visiting my mother alone. I knew the rules. I knew how to move, when to speak, how to sit without being noticed. I had learned to erase myself in that room. Now my erasure would be tested against the living proof of the daughter my mother had lost.Clear followed a few steps behind, careful, deliberate. Her hoodie hung loosely over her thin frame. Her hair was short now, framing her face in a way that made her look older, sharper. I could see her hands clench at her sides. She hesitated in small, silent ways that betrayed her nervousness. I wanted to warn her. I wanted to tell her she did not know what she was walking into.The door came into view. Room 417.I paused.
