Adrian's Pov

It wasn't until we arrived at the estate that Nikolai told me the engagement dinner was being held here.

Immediately I got out of the car, I quickly checked for any notification but it seems Leonardo had failed to notify me of my own engagement.

Finding out about my engagement from someone was one thing, but from Nikolai was a kind of mockery.

“Are you going to show me around?” He said curtly but I rolled my eyes at him.

“Help yourself.” I grabbed the shopping bags and left him standing there.

The front garden was being used for the party. A whole decor was put in place, even the most prominent figures in the country were present.

The scent of fresh lilies and expensive cologne tangled in the breeze, while golden fairy lights shimmered along the hedges, casting dreamy reflections on guests' polished shoes.

Waiters glided by with silver trays of smoked salmon canapés and champagne, and beneath the carefully curated elegance, all I could think about was how pretentious the

  • Becoming the Forbidden Possession of the Mafia Boss   95. Everything he said

    Adrian’s POVI couldn’t bear to look at him, yet from the side of my eyes u could see clearly. His tender eyes, the red hue dripping from his mouth. At first I thought it was his wound, but for every words that went out of Gabriel’s lips, there was a cough that carried a pile of blood with it. Was it really because of me?Did my acceptance prompt such?He said it was just sex, I believe him. Or should I doubt him?I walked up the stairway and held Isabelle’s hands. Her delicate eyes were white, and I could tell she had been ill. I tried to smile and took her back to the room, after I laid the bed and she lied down, I finally could ask her.“What happened the past week?” “I was poisoned in the bar and uncle Niko went to check but he was shot six times and Gregory is in coma.”My hands tightened on the sheets and it crumpled. Tears welled up in my eyes. I tried so much to hide it, but it trickled down my skin and Isabelle caught a glimpse.“I’m fine Adrian. You don’t…”Her hands

  • Becoming the Forbidden Possession of the Mafia Boss   94. His heart

    Adrian’s POVNikolai’s stare pressed against my spine, but I refused to turn around. The hospital’s automatic doors slid open with a mechanical whisper.My phone suddenly buzzed against my palm, the vibration cutting through the tension that had followed me from the car. Isabelle’s name flashed across the screen, and I answered without hesitation.“I’m almost at the hospital,” her voice came through, breathless with nervous energy. “Do you think I’ll be a good candidate? I spoke to someone and she said not everyone qualifies for egg extraction.”“You don’t have to worry about that,” I assured her, my voice steadier than I felt. “I’m sure it wouldn’t be a problem.”The lie came easily. I had no idea what the requirements were, but Isabelle needed reassurance, not my uncertainty. She had been through enough already, with the poisoning and the family’s ultimatum.“Okay, I’m here. Gotta go.”The line went dead, leaving me alone with the sound of my own breathing and the distant hum of h

  • Becoming the Forbidden Possession of the Mafia Boss   93

    Adrian’s PovThe contact was electric, nothing like the tentative brush of lips we had shared in the car. His mouth claimed mine with a hunger that stole my breath, his body pressing me back against the tiled wall with a force that made my knees weak.I found myself kissing him back with a desperation that matched his own, my hands fisting in the expensive fabric of his shirt as if I could anchor myself to this moment.When we finally broke apart, both of us were breathing hard. His forehead rested against mine, his gray eyes searching my face for something I wasn’t sure I could give him.“You’re planning to have a child,” he said, and there was something raw in his voice that made my chest ache.“Why do you care,” I managed to say, though the words felt thick on my tongue. “We aren’t even real.”“None of this is real?” he replied, but his hands remained on my face, his thumbs tracing the line of my cheekbones with a tenderness that contradicted his words.Then he dragged me closer a

  • Becoming the Forbidden Possession of the Mafia Boss   91. His jealousy

    Adrian’s POVThe smile that crossed my face when I saw Isabelle felt casual. But when I glanced at Nikolai, my smile immediately faltered. His cold glare sent shivers through my body and I instantly drew in a long breath. Isabelle stepped into the room, “I just got here,” she said, her voice carrying a warmth. “I didn’t know you’d be here, Adrian.”She walked towards me and her arms wrapped around me in a gentle embrace, her lips pressing against my cheeks in the kind of innocent affection we had perfected over months of pretense. The kiss was light, almost sisterly, but I could feel Nikolai’s eyes burning into us with an intensity that made my skin crawl.“Uncle Nikko,” Isabelle said, turning toward him with a respectful nod.The shift in Nikolai’s expression was subtle but unmistakable. His jaw tightened, and something flickered in his steel-gray eyes that I couldn’t quite identify. When he spoke, his voice carried an edge that cut through the sterile hospital air like broken gl
