Mature scene ahead guys 😜

I'm sitting at the dining table, eating my breakfast while Amanda sits across from me, sipping a cup of coffee. She’s strategizing a perfect plan to eliminate the Spiders and wipe them off the Mafia map for good, but I can’t bring myself to focus on her words.

What happened between me and Alexander keeps replaying in my head, distracting me from the present.

Flashback

He left the room, returning five seconds later with something in his hand. I didn’t ask what it was.

  • Beneath His Gaze    Chapter 15 : Safe In His Arms

    I woke up to a knock on the door. Groggily, I opened my eyes, blinking against the soft light in the room. I reached across the bed with one hand, searching for Alex, but he wasn’t there. He must’ve left after I fell asleep. I still can’t believe I cried in front of him. Now he’s going to see me as some soft-hearted mess. I have no intention of telling him about my family or the fact that I’m no longer a Mafia leader. Not yet, anyway. I don't know how he would react to the fact that I'm finding it difficult to read. I dragged myself out of bed and opened the door. A maid stood there, bowing slightly. “Dinner is ready, sir. Everyone is awaiting your presence.” “Alright, give me a minute.” “Yes, sir,” she replied before leaving. I headed back inside and splashed cold water on my face to chase away the drowsiness, then made my way downstairs. Everyone was already seated at the dining table—everyone except Alex. “Look who finally decided to show up,” Alexandra said as I sat across

  • Beneath His Gaze    Chapter 14: The Confrontation

    I can’t believe he’s standing here right now. What if he doesn’t accept the pregnancy? I don’t think I’ll be able to handle a rejection right now. Where would I even start from? I should just calm down
 let me hear what he has to say.“You don’t have to be rude in front of my guests,” Alexandra snapped at her brother, giving him a nasty look. “I might be having an important meeting right now. And not every woman wants a rude ass like you—just the ones who want cash. Since that’s the only good thing you offer them.”I caught Amanda smirking from the corner of my eye. She really enjoyed watching people ego get bruised—especially the ones she disliked.Alex started walking toward us.“Then why don’t you hold the meeting at— Ian? Is that you?” he asked, suddenly pausing mid-step. But I didn’t look at him. Not yet. I wasn’t sure what his next words would be, and I couldn’t bear to read his expression just yet.Before he could come any closer, Amanda lifted her hand and blocked him.“Why

  • Beneath His Gaze    Chapter 13: Boom and Arrival

    I was so fucking tired. I’d been trying to fold Amanda’s clothes into this damn box for over an hour, and they still weren’t fitting. Why are women’s clothes so complicated? I folded mine, and everything went in perfectly. But Amanda’s? It was like the clothes were fighting back.“I said help me fold my clothes, not wrestle with them,” Amanda said from the doorway, leaning against the frame.I glared at her. “Say that to your clothes, not me. I am trying here.”“Then try harder,” she replied with a shrug.“Your clothes just don’t want to cooperate with me,” I grumbled, tossing them one by one into the box.Amanda sighed, rolled her eyes, and walked over. She started folding them herself, and—just like that—everything fit perfectly in the box.What the actual hell?“Way to show off, Amanda,” I muttered.She smirked. “Just admit you’re jealous.”“Ha-ha. So funny.”“Our visas and everything are ready. We’ll be leaving tomorrow, but I told the pilot to stay on standby in case anything cha

  • Beneath His Gaze    Chapter 12: Bittersweet Decisions

    After getting home, we made our way inside. I was exhausted .I still couldn’t believe this was happening to me. I never cry—but now, all the walls I built over the years were crumbling, one by one.Why was life treating me like this? Was it because I’ve killed? Was this punishment for all the blood on my hands? If so, why not just send death to take me? Because I’m not strong enough for this
 I never was.“Ian
 please stop overthinking,” Amanda’s voice broke through my spiral. “It’s not good for your health. You’re pregnant. This stress—it might affect the babies.”I looked up at her, tears welling in my eyes. She rushed to my side, wrapping her arms tightly around me.“Let it out, Ian,” she whispered. “You can cry. Once in a while. It doesn’t make you weak—it just makes you human.”And with those words, I broke. I cried—no, I sobbed into her shoulder.“Why did they treat me like this, Amanda?” I choked out. “I didn’t do anything wrong. I didn’t even know I could get pregnant. I’m a g

  • Beneath His Gaze    Chapter 11: Shattered Roots

    It’s been a week since I found out I’m pregnant.I swear, I would have lost my mind if Amanda hadn’t been by my side, helping me stay sane. Today is my off day, and I decided to do something I’ve always loved—charity work.I started at the hospital, paying off medical bills for patients who couldn’t afford them. Then I visited an orphanage to make sure the children were doing okay. I donated money, clothes, and other essentials.I’ve always enjoyed helping others. Since I have more than enough, and money is usually the problem, why not share it?When I got home, I parked in the driveway and noticed Amanda’s car.That’s odd. Today is her off day too—the day she spends painting, her favorite hobby. So why is she here?The moment I walked in, I saw her pacing in the living room.“What’s the matter?” I asked.She turned around, her face filled with concern. “We have a problem. Let’s sit.”We both sat, and she stared at me for two full minutes before finally speaking.“I couldn’t find anyt

  • Beneath His Gaze    Chapter 10: Unexpected News

    It’s been two weeks since Alex left.Strangely, I do miss him—more than I expected. I thought giving my body what it wanted would be enough, that the craving would disappear, but I was wrong. I keep thinking about his touch, his voice, his eyes... Fuck, it’s weird. I even dream about him sometimes.Maybe he was right—maybe he really won't ever leave my mind.Suddenly, a lump rises in my throat. I rush to the bathroom and throw up everything I ate last night. I hate this. It’s been happening for days now—this morning sickness. It started after the celebration party Amanda threw for wiping out the Spiders.I don’t drink alcohol, so where is this coming from? Could someone have drugged me? Poisoned me? No... I remember drinking straight from the bottle myself. I should tell Amanda, but I don’t want her panicking or thinking I’m slowly dying.I can’t ignore this anymore.I pick up my phone and dial my personal doctor.She answers on the first ring.“Hello, Ian.”“Doctor Mariam, good morni
