An affair with the Mafia Boss

Natalie slowly blinked her eyes open, trying to adjust to the bright light. The first thing she noticed was the searing pain coursing through her body. She groaned as she attempted to sit up, but her limbs felt unbearably heavy, as if she had been struck by a truck.As her eyes finally focused, she realized she was in an unfamiliar place. The walls were constructed of stone, and the only illumination emanated from a small window near the ceiling. She could hear the distant sound of water dripping.Suddenly, her memories flooded back. The assault on her home, the loss of her mother, and the abduction of her father and brother.Tears welled up in her eyes once more as she wept, acknowledging the permanent absence of her mother. Perhaps she would be laid to rest without Natalie ever getting the chance to say goodbye.Recollections of being dragged to the road to meet the assailant, a man relentlessly pursuing them, resurfaced. It was the same man who coveted something her father possessed

Ivan stood at the door, hesitant to enter the room where Natalie was. For some reason, whenever he saw her, he felt so guilty.There was just so much in his head, so much that he needed to tell her, but he did not know how to do it.The past held a lot for them. But he was just so confused that she did not seem to have any idea about it.He hesitated for a while longer, still wondering whether to get in or just walk back. Maybe he could send Auntie Bella to ask Natalie to tell her whatever she wanted.But when he heard her cries through the door, he knew he could not ignore her call. She had asked to see him, not any other person.He slowly pushed the door open and saw Natalie curled up on the bed, tears streaming down her face. She looked up when she heard the door open and her eyes widened with surprise when she saw Ivan.She had waited for a long time, and she had almost lost hope that he would come.Ivan was shocked by the way she looked. Her eyes were swollen, and there were lines

Ivan sat on his couch, his eyes closed as he tried to process everything that had happened in the past few hours.When he received a call yesterday that Natalie was in danger, he did not even think twice. In fact, he had not even questioned what was happening to her.He had rushed all the way to rescue her. That was his first thought. And he only realized that once he had driven her to his compound.This one woman was the girl he met that year, five years ago. And she had brought a great change in his life, making him a dad, even though she herself was not aware that she was a mother.Things had happened so fast after then. The next thing he knew, he had a child who was motherless.He did not know what happened to her after that night at the hospital. She had disappeared for a while before she appeared again a few months later.He had seen her several times, but she had appeared normal, like there wasn't any change in her life. That was one thing that had disturbed him a lot.He had ma

Ivan wrapped his arms around Natalie, holding her tightly as she cried softly on his chest. He could feel her body shaking with sobs, and he knew she needed this. She had been through so much in the past few days, and he wanted to be there for her. She needed someone to comfort her.But just as he was about to pull away, he heard the sound of tiny feet running towards the room. Ivan turned his head towards the door and saw his four-year-old son, Carter, come rushing in.The little boy stopped in his tracks when he saw his dad hugging a woman. He covered his eyes with his hands immediately."Daddy?" He called, his voice a bit surprised. "Do you like hugging big sister?" He asked. He had never seen his daddy hug a woman before.They both turned to look at him, and their faces slightly blushed. Ivan was not sure what he was supposed to say.Just then, other footsteps were heard rushing to the door and Auntie Bella's voice followed. "Carter! Come over here... You should not be running aro

Logan sat in his office sipping a cup of coffee. He lifted his head to look at his assistant who walked in and locked the door behind him."Any news about her?" He asked, a cold look on his face.The assistant shook his head with a sigh. "No news! She seems to have disappeared into the thin air. We have been looking everywhere, but we cannot find her."Logan appeared to be thinking for a while. "I did not expect her to be that clever..." He said.He could not explain how he lost her. He should have been a bit more careful. After he lost her that day and failed to find her, he had just assumed it and gone back to his businesses. He thought that she would come begging him and his son for help after capturing her dad and brother.After all, she did not know that it was him doing all that. Then, he would have used that chance to ask for that thing from her.But a day had gone by like that, and no matter how he looked for her, he could not find her."We have to keep searching," Logan said.
