‎Victor's POV

‎Alice is in the hospital? Why? Was she caught in the fire?

‎I struggled against the ropes again, even though I had been fighting them for so long that the sharp pain from earlier had faded into a terrible numbness. Every movement only made the ropes bite deeper into my wrists, scraping and bruising my skin until it burned. My arms felt heavy, almost lifeless, and my entire body ached from being tied in the same position for hours... or maybe days. I did not even know anymore.

  • Bethroted To The Mafia Boss   Chapter 47

    ‎Alice’s POV‎“Amelia Coke?” I ask, my voice catching slightly in my throat. “You mean the Amelia that’s close to Victor?”‎Dad sighs heavily and leans back in his chair, rubbing a tired hand over his face. “Yes… that’s her. I was surprised myself when I was told she’s one of them.”‎A cold feeling settles in my stomach.‎“Dad, are you sure?”‎“Yes,” he says firmly, his expression darkening. “I was told her family started the Russian Mafia empire many years ago.”‎I stare at him in disbelief, trying to process his words. Amelia? The elegant, calm Amelia? The same woman who always carried herself like she belonged in high society? My mind struggles to connect her to something as dangerous as the Russian Mafia.‎“Hm… this is serious,” I murmur. “How do we even look for the document now?”‎“Alice, don’t worry yourself,” Dad says quickly. “I have my ways of looking for it. You just came back from the hospital. Right now, all you need is rest.”‎I shake my head immediately. “But Dad, I won

  • Bethroted To The Mafia Boss   Chapter 46

    ‎Victor’s POV‎Amelia lets out an eerie laugh, the sound echoing through the dim warehouse as she slowly turns to face me.‎“Yeah, it’s me,” she says coldly. “Why did you come back? Oh…” she tilts her head mockingly, “you came back to save him.”‎Her lips curl into a cruel smile as she points lazily toward Pedro’s body lying motionless on the ground.‎“Sorry. He’s dead. And honestly? He deserved it for betraying us after everything we did for him.”‎My chest tightens.‎“Amelia… what are you talking about?”‎Instead of answering, she laughs again... louder this time, almost unhinged.‎“You’ll understand someday.” She takes a slow step toward me, her boots scraping against the concrete floor. “But for now, I have something for you. A very important message.”‎My eyes drift back to Pedro’s lifeless body. Blood pools beneath him, dark and horrifying. He’s really dead.‎A chill crawls down my spine.‎I need to be careful. One wrong move and I could end up exactly like him.‎“What message?”

  • Bethroted To The Mafia Boss   Chapter 45

    ‎Alice’s POV‎As soon as I ask that question, Dad’s face changes for a split second. Fear flashes across his eyes before he quickly masks it with a weak smile. If I hadn’t been staring directly at him, I would have missed it.‎“Nothing, my little pod. Welcome home,” he says instead, his voice unusually soft.‎I narrow my eyes at him. “It’s not nothing, Dad. Talk to me. I heard everything.”‎He sighs heavily and rubs a tired hand over his face before looking at me again. “Alice, it’s not your place to worry. Everything is fine, okay?”‎“Okay…” I murmur reluctantly.‎I decide to let the matter go for now because there are more important questions burning inside me.‎“Dad?”‎“Yes, little pod?”‎“What happened? Who kidnapped you? Are you hurt?”‎Dad slowly walks toward one of the chairs in the study and lowers himself into it like the weight of the world is resting on his shoulders. He gestures for me to sit too. My heart pounds anxiously as I move to the chair opposite him and sit down,

  • Bethroted To The Mafia Boss   chapter 44

    ‎Victor's POV‎I step out of the room quietly, leaving the door slightly ajar behind me. My body immediately tenses as I pause and listen carefully for any sound... footsteps, voices, movement… anything. But there is nothing.‎Silence.‎The kind of silence that makes your skin crawl.‎It is broad daylight, yet the entire building feels abandoned. No distant conversations. No creaking floors. Not even the sound of a television or a passing vehicle outside. The stillness is so heavy that I can hear the faint pounding of my own heartbeat inside my ears.‎Pedro left the room a few hours ago, if my sense of time is still working properly, and since then, everywhere has remained disturbingly quiet.‎Too quiet.‎A cold feeling settles in my stomach.‎This is definitely a trap. One I cannot afford to fall into.‎I slowly step back into the room and close the door halfway before sitting down on the same chair I was previously tied to. My muscles ache from weakness, but I force myself to stay f

  • Bethroted To The Mafia Boss   Chapter 43

    ‎Alice's POV‎The doctor looks at me nervously, his fingers tightening around the clipboard in his hands. His expression alone makes my stomach twist with unease.‎“It’s not too serious,” he says carefully, “but it is important.”‎I swallow hard.‎“What is it, doctor?”‎He studies my face for a moment before speaking again.‎“Have you been having brief flashes of memory, miss?”‎The moment the question leaves his mouth, my entire body stiffens. My fingers curl tightly around the hospital blanket as my heartbeat quickens.‎How does he know about this?‎For a second, I consider denying it, but something tells me I need to be honest.‎“Yes, doctor,” I admit quietly. “How did you know?”‎He nods slowly, almost as if my answer confirms something he already suspected.‎“What about dreams? Recurring images?”‎A chill runs down my spine.‎“Yes, doctor,” I whisper again, my voice weaker this time. “I’ve had all of those. But… what do they mean?”‎The doctor pulls a chair closer to my bed and s

  • Bethroted To The Mafia Boss   chapter 42

    ‎Victor's POV‎Still pondering the conversation I had with Amelia, the masked man, and Pedro’s betrayal, I felt myself growing weaker by the second. My stomach twisted painfully from hunger. I hadn’t eaten in days. Ever since Pedro brought food and water and I rejected it, he hadn’t returned.‎The cold floor beneath me felt harder than ever, and my body ached from exhaustion. My eyelids became too heavy to keep open, so I rested my head against the wall. Before long, sleep dragged me under.‎Suddenly, I jerked awake at the sound of the door creaking open. My heart skipped for a moment as I lifted my head. Judging from the faint light creeping into the room, it had to be morning already.‎Pedro walked in carrying a tray with food and water. The smell alone made my empty stomach tighten painfully.‎“Hello, Mr. Victor,” he said with a teasing smile. “I brought you food and water. I hope you won’t reject it this time.”‎I stared at him for a moment before speaking, my voice rough and tire

    ‎Victor’s POV“Boss… the goods you wanted to use to surprise your bride… they’ve been stolen.”‎For a second, I think I heard wrong.‎“…What?” My voice drops, low and dangerous. “How?”‎Pedro shifts uneasily, avoiding my eyes. “I don’t know, boss. No one knows about those goods apart from you, me,
