BURNING BETRAYAL: My Mafia Professor. Chapter 56
I remembered the last time I was at his study. I saw a stamp in the drawer.An official seal.Recognized everywhere.Used in place of signatures.My heart skipped.I sat up slowly.If I couldn’t get his signature…I could use his seal.The thought sat in my chest.I heard the faint sound of a car engine outside.Then the sound of it driving away.Luca.He was gone.The house fell silent again.My pulse quickened.I was alone.Completely alone.I stood up immediately.My chair pushed back softly behind me.I didn’t stop.I walked fast. Up the stairs. Down the hallway. Into my room.I grabbed the file from the table.My hands felt colder now.My heart beat harder with every step as I left the room again.Down the stairs.Through the hallway.Toward his study.I stopped in front of the door.My hand rested on the handle.This was wrong.I knew it was wrong.But I still turned it.The door opened quietly.His study smelled like him.Clean. Controlled. Familiar.I stepped inside and closed

“Who were you talking to?”The voice came from behind me.My heart jumped straight into my throat.For a second, I couldn’t move. Couldn’t breathe. My fingers tightened around the strap of my bag so hard it started to hurt. I forced myself to turn slowly.Ciro stood a few steps behind me.Not Zander.Ciro.Relief hit first. It made my knees feel weak.But it didn’t last long.Because Ciro was looking at me. Really looking at me. Not in his usual careless way. His eyes moved over my face like he was trying to figure something out.I quickly used the back of my palm to wipe my mouth, pretending like I’d been trying to hold something down.“I was feeling nauseous,” I said. My voice came out steady enough. “I thought I was about to vomit.”Ciro didn’t say anything immediately.He just looked at me.“Are you okay?” he asked.I hesitated for a second before placing my hand over my stomach.His eyes dropped there immediately.My fingers pressed lightly against my stomach. I kept my face neu

The burial started without any announcement.No priest. No loud crying. No dramatic speeches like the ones in movies.Just men in black suits moving with quiet understanding, like they all knew their roles already.The grave was already open.Fresh soil piled beside it. I stood beside Zander, my hands clasped in front of me because I didn’t know what else to do with them. My fingers kept rubbing against each other. I couldn’t stop it.The coffin rested on thick straps above the grave. Polished wood. My stomach twisted.She was inside that.She was inside that because of me.I swallowed and forced my eyes away from it.Men stood in a loose circle around the grave. Some of them were older. Some younger. All of them stayed quiet. Alert. Watching everything.Not grieving the way normal people did.There were guards posted farther out. I noticed them the moment we arrived. Positioned near the gates.Watching.One man stepped forward. He wasn’t dressed like the others. His suit was darker

When Zander told me I would be going with him to his aunt’s funeral, the words stayed trapped behind my teeth.No.That was the first thing that rose inside me. Sharp and Immediate. But it never made it past my mouth.I had only nodded.Because there was nothing else I could do.Refusing would be wrong. Refusing would be strange. Refusing would make him look at me longer than he already did. Ask questions he wasn’t asking yet.So I nodded.And now I was here.Sitting in the car beside him.Trapped.The gates of the estate slid open slowly, the metal groaning as the driver pulled the car forward. Gravel crunched beneath the tires. The sound grated against my nerves.I stared straight ahead.My hands rested on my lap, fingers locked together so tightly the knuckles had gone pale.My stomach churned.Not from motion.From him.From everything.The car moved past the gates and onto the empty road. The estate disappeared behind us.I pressed my tongue against the roof of my mouth, swallow

The sound of his footsteps outside my door stopped my heart.I knew it was him.I sat on the bed, my hands gripping the edge of the mattress, my fingers curling into the fabric. My back was straight. My shoulders stiff. My lungs forgot how to breathe.The footsteps stopped right outside my door.For a second, nothing happened.Then the handle turned.The door opened.Zander stepped inside.I forgot every word I had rehearsed in my head.He looked… different.Not the Zander I knew.Not the man who walked as if the world belonged to him. Not the man whose eyes were always sharp. Always watching. Always in control.This version of him looked like something had been taken out of him.His eyes were red. Not slightly red. Red like he had been crying. Red like he had been holding something in for too long.My heart began to pound harder. He closed the door behind him quietly. He didn’t say anything. He just stood there for a second, looking at me.I couldn’t read his expression. That scared

When I got home, I couldn’t sit still. I kept checking the time even when I knew only a few seconds had passed. The silence in the house made everything worse. It gave my thoughts too much space. Too much room to remember the hospital. To remember his face.I sat at the edge of the bed, my phone clutched in my hand so tightly my fingers ached. The screen had gone dark minutes ago, but I didn’t put it down. I couldn’t. It was the only thing tethering me to him. To whatever was happening outside this suffocating silence.The clock on the wall ticked.Each second sounded louder than the last.Tick.Tick.Tick.I lifted my head and looked at it again.5:56 PM.He should have been home by now.My throat tightened.He lost his aunt.My fingers curled slightly around the phone.I killed his aunt.The thought didn’t come like a scream. It came like a whisper.My stomach twisted.Did he know?Did he suspect?My heart began to pound harder, the sound filling my ears until it drowned out everyth
