Claimed By The Mafia Billionaire Chapter 57: The Spider Incident
Dysis groaned as she sat up, untangling herself from Alexander’s arms. Her dress was ruined—ripped in several places thanks to the chaos from earlier. She sighed, trying to pull at the fabric, but the intricate design made it impossible. She hadn’t dressed herself—four maids had helped her into it before the party. She glanced at Alexander, who was now propped up against the headboard, observing her with a grin. “Could you assist me in getting out of this dress?” she inquired, feeling flustered. Alexander raised a brow, amused. “Are you asking me to undress you?” Dysis’ face heated. “No! I mean, yes—but not like that! Just the back—ugh, forget it!” She marched to the bathroom before he could poke fun at her anymore. Inside, she battled with the dress for about five minutes before it dawned on her something dreadful—she had no other outfit. “Alexander!” she called through the door. “I need something to wear!” He chuckled from the other side. “So you do need my help after

He caught it effortlessly—of course he did—and raised an amused brow. “Violence? After everything I just did for you?” “You call making fun of me ‘helping’?” she snapped, burying herself deeper under the covers. “And don’t act like killing a spider is some grand heroic act. You were probably just showing off.” Alexander smirked, tossing the pillow onto the bed. “If I was showing off, I’d have made sure you were watching.” Dysis let out an exasperated groan and turned away from him, pulling the blanket over her head. This man is impossible.A beat of silence passed. Then she heard the rustle of fabric, followed by the dip of the mattress. Her body went rigid. He was on the bed. “W-what do you think you’re doing?” Her voice was unexpectedly high-pitched, causing embarrassment. Alexander reclined against the headboard, extending himself next to her as if he were meant to be there. “Getting comfortable.” Dysis peeked out from under the blanket and glared at him. “Go to your

The morning sunlight streamed through the thick curtains, creating a gentle illumination throughout the room. The soft buzz of the mansion was far off, smothered by the heavy walls, with just the noise of consistent breathing in the gap between them. Dysis lay still, her body tense, fully aware of the weight draped over her waist—Alexander’s arm. His presence was overwhelming, his warmth pressing into her back, his grip firm as if holding her there on instinct. Her heartbeat betrayed her. It drummed too fast, too erratic, as if her body hadn’t gotten the message her mind was screaming: This doesn’t mean anything. She inhaled sharply, trying to shake off the disorienting pull of him. Carefully, she shifted, attempting to slip out of his grasp. But before she could move an inch, his grip tightened. “Alexander,” she murmured, her voice quieter than she intended. He grumbled in response, low and rough, not fully awake—but unwilling to let go. Her breath caught. He was still a

The morning sunlight streamed through the grand windows of the Levi estate as a maid carefully fastened the last button on Dysis’s dress. It was a gentle, flowing garment featuring an intricate floral pattern, the material airy against her skin. It was a gentle, flowing garment featuring an intricate floral pattern, the material airy against her skin. The soft pastel shades complemented her, giving her an elegant yet subtle look—precisely the type of presence that wouldn’t attract excessive attention. "You look lovely, miss," the maid remarked respectfully, stepping back to appreciate her handwork.Dysis managed a small smile. "Thank you."A knock at the door interrupted them, and another maid stepped in, bowing slightly. "Miss Dysis, Lady Lili has requested your presence at the dining table for breakfast with the family."Dysis blinked. "She… requested me?"The maid nodded. "She wishes to apologize for her behavior at the party."An apology? That surprised her. She hadn't had much i

Laughter filled Dysis’s room as she and Brayden played together, his small hands eagerly stacking blocks into a wobbly tower. Every time it collapsed, he let out an exaggerated gasp, eyes wide with delight before urging her to help him build it again."You have to be careful, Brayden," Dysis teased, placing a block with precision. "If it falls again, I’m blaming you."Brayden grinned. "Nooo! You did it last time!"Brayden's small hand tugged at the hem of Dysis’s dress, his bright blue eyes wide with curiosity. “Can I stay with you a little longer?” Dysis hesitated, glancing toward the open door where Silver had left moments ago. The mansion was vast, and the boy likely felt lonely despite its grandeur. Additionally, she had developed an affection for him in a manner she hadn’t anticipated. “Okay,” she murmured gently, tousling his golden hair. A wide smile emerged on Brayden’s face as he hopped onto the soft rug in her room. He pulled out several toy soldiers from his pocket and

The moment they arrived the security at the estate doubled. Guards were at the entrance while inside the premises the tension was charged.Alexander wasted no time at all giving orders, his voice imperious and sharp as he spoke to his troops. Dysis stood off to the side, noticing the way that all of them sprang at his every word.He was himself present. He was at easeGone was the man who had looked at her with something so vulnerable standing by the side of the road. In his place was someone untouchable.“Get every bodyguard on the ready,” Alexander instructed Milo at the front door to wait for their arrival. “Nobody sees this house without me knowing about it first.”Milo nodded hastily, already getting out his phone.Dysis crossed her arms. “What about me?” she asked.Alexander’s gaze turned to her. "You stay here."She scoffed. “That’s it?”“That’s everything,” he told me, coming closer to me, his voice lowering to a deep timbre. “You're not leaving without me again."Dysis glared

The moment he entered the hall, the air became heavy.The hush was immediate. It was as if the entire mansion drew in, and then simply remembered to hold the breath. Lucian's arms locked around Dysis, holding her in place. She was weakened, her hands loosely gripping his wrist to support her, her body refusing to obey.But none of that mattered. Not to Alexander.His gaze was glacial, cold and merciless. Icy-blue eyes froze Lucian in position, like a wolf who spotted another by the side of his prey.“Step. aside.”The words themselves calmed, and what rendered them so terrifying.Lucian didn’t blink, didn’t let Dysis go. His green eyes remained locked on Alexander, not in defiance, but in something worse—concern.“She nearly fainted,” replied Lucian, his voice steady and controlled. “I was tending to her."A muscle in the jaw of Alexander tensed. He didn't utter a word, but the tenseness could be sensed, so tight the smallest misfire would spring.Dysis felt a rush of fear. Her head w

Adam sat in his study, the weight of his years pressing down like an iron chain that had long rotted yet never loosened. The room was gently lit, the flames flickering on the shiny mahogany walls, casting unsettling shadows that seemed to whisper of past wrongdoings. A glass of whiskey sat untouched beside him, the amber liquid reflecting the glowing coals, its warmth mocking the coldness in his heart. Across from him, Milo stayed silently watchful, his sharp gaze scrutinizing the man who had once been a formidable giant at the peak of his strength. Now, Adam appeared diminished in some way—not in height, but in how regret had started to settle into the lines of his face.Adam breathed out, rubbing a worn hand across his face. "It's odd," he whispered, nearly to himself. "You go on believing there’s always extra time… until one day, you see that there isn't." Milo stayed quiet, understanding it was best not to interject. He had discovered long ago that occasionally, silence was the

Cinnamon and sugar still smelt, like a secret clinging to the warmth of the kitchen. It curled softly around the marble counters and the golden afternoon light, weaving itself into the corners of the mansion that rarely held such sweetness. Dysis was at the counter spreading whipped vanilla frosting over the top layer of the cake with deliberate fingers. Her hair, pulled carelessly back, was flecked with flour. Her apron was covered in powdered sugar and streaks of buttercream, yet today she was calm—a terrible stillness that did not quite reach her eyes. Following her lead, Nani moved next to her with subdued hands, trying not to overreach. She did not speak very much. Every syllable seemed like walking on thin glass. Then I heard the sound of a door. The front door clicked open; then the solid, distinct thud of boots upon wooden flooring.The hand of Dysis stopped. She was aware of the sound. Alexander. She needed not to turn around to find it was him. The change in the air

Cormac turned slightly, his angular face sharply shadowed by the low bulb above casting. "No more mistakes," he said slowly and stepped forward, his boots softly thudding against the concrete floor. “And in return for your loyalty, I suppose you have needs.”Sofie paused. Her eyes dropped to her hands, precisely groomed and barely shaking.Indeed, she said softly. "I want you to guard me... from her."Cormac raised a brow, intrigued. “Lili Levi.”Sofie’s head snapped up. The name itself tasted bitter on her tongue. “She’s going to kill me,” she said quietly. “Or worse. She already warned me. If Dysis talks… if Adam finds out what I did at the wedding… I’m dead.”A sharp laugh echoed from Cormac’s chest, but it wasn’t mocking. It was calculating. “So, the queen of the Levi family has finally lost her leash on you.”"I was never on a leash," Sofie said, then stopped with a shaky voice. "I just didn't have a choice." Cormac watched her for a long beat, then moved gently around the table

The automobile hummed gently as it negotiated the twisting road, its tires rolling over the well-kept asphalt. The engine's rhythmic sound seemed to resound in the calm of the evening, almost as if the car were a part of the silent symphony encirclement. Outside, the delicate colours of the twilight sky mixed with the deep shadows of the approaching night as the fading sunshine merged with the encroaching darkness. With her hands tightly closed in her lap, Nani sat in the rearseat and her body stiff and strained. From the pressure, her fingers had turned white, and the leather of the car seat appeared to press back on her, the tightness in her chest was building with every second. Though her attention was far-off, as if her mind were elsewhere caught in a whirl of ideas she was unable to escape, she stared out the window. The weight of her daughter's dangerous circumstances made her heart heavy. Dispersion. Nani's stomach turned over at the idea of her, vulnerable and open to the da

Alexander’s fingers curled tightly around his phone, his jaw clenching as his father’s words echoed like a shot fired in the dark.“About Sofie,” Adam repeated, his voice low and grave.The silence that followed was ice-thick and heavy. It crackled in the air like static—something dangerous was coming.Alexander turned slowly, his gaze finding Nani still standing by the doorway. Without taking his eyes off her, he spoke into the phone. “Talk.”“She’s gone,” Adam said. “Vanished. No trace. Her number’s dead. Her apartment? Emptied. No luggage, no forwarding, nothing.”Alexander’s voice dropped to a lethal register. “What are you telling me, exactly?”Adam exhaled through the phone. “She was working for someone. I don’t know who yet. I’ve had people digging, but it’s like chasing a ghost. She’s left no trail.”Alexander’s mind began to rotate in quiet, surgical precision. “And you didn’t think to tell me?”“I wasn’t sure. I had to be sure,” Adam said, his voice hardening, the guilt only

The late afternoon sun spilled through the tall windows of the Levi estate's drawing room, throwing golden hues across the polished marble floors and elegant furnishings. The space radiated classic beauty with its lofty ceilings and detailed moldings. Overhead hung a crystal chandelier whose facets caught the sunlight and distributed it into a rainbow of hues.Alexander sat by the fireplace, his sharp features softly illuminated by the flames. Wearing a custom charcoal suit, he radiated authority with a straight posture and focused eyes. Apart from the distant chirping of birds outside, the only sound in the fire was soft cracking. Nani entered the room, her footfall light on the marble floor. Her dark hair, flecked with silver, was pushed back into a sophisticated chignon. She walked elegantly despite her age; her brown eyes revealed a depth of knowledge and warmth. She wore a basic gold necklace against her collarbone and a deep burgundy dress that matched her complexion."Alexand

The night passed quietly.But not peacefully.Alexander lay beside Dysis, his body still while his mind ran through every word, every glance, every silence. Her head was tucked beneath his chin, her breath slow and steady against his chest. She looked weightless in sleep, but he knew better. She carried too much beneath that soft exterior—memories she wouldn’t speak, feelings she hadn’t buried deep enough.He didn’t need to ask what she and Vee were whispering about.She may not have said Lucian's name out loud, but he heard it like a damn bell. Alexander looked up at the ceiling. The drapes were open, hence the dull street lamp light was streaming through and creating thin lines on the elegant moulding. He still vividly recall the lovely glow of her wedding gown and the way the lights danced in her eyes. He did, however, wonder whether she ever wished someone else had been there for her at the altar. Louie is The idea made him ill to his stomach. Lucian had been there in the shadows

Vee walked back into the room slowly, bringing a tray with a glass of water and two pale capsules nestled inside a small ceramic bowl. A soft click came from the door. In dim light, the tray sparkled and reflected the sparkle of the crystal wall lamps around it, giving the room a warm glow. The soft whisper of her boots cut through the heavy silence in the air as she moved slowly across the thick, fluffy carpet. There was a delicate kind of quiet that was heavy with too many feelings and words that were not said. The soft velvet furniture and small gold accents in the room seemed to know—they were caught between stress and release, like the quiet before a storm.Vee spoke with a gentler, more measured tone than normal. "Lucian advised taking them before bed," she remarked, gently arranging the tray on the nightstand next to the bed. Her gaze stayed on Dysis, observing the worn-out sag in her shoulders and the subtle lines of tension starting to show up on her face. Under the low ligh

Warm golden light flooded the marble floor as the brilliant mahogany doors of the Levi home opened. From the ceiling, chandeliers dripped crystal tears whose delicate, low brilliance created shimmering shadows along the tall, arched corridor. Freshly waxed wood smelt like jasmine, a perfume Dysis loved mixed with mild undertones. She was unaware Alexander had specifically ordered the perfume just for their trip back.Their footsteps echoed softly as they stepped inside.Dysis held Alexander’s hand like it was the only thing anchoring her to the world. Her fingers were cold, wrapped tight around his larger, calloused ones. He noticed—of course he did—but said nothing. Rather, he looked at her sideways, brows wrinkled beneath a mass of coal-black hair slightly twisted simply from the drive. Her temple rested against the hard muscle under the black fabric of his fitted shirt as she leaned into his arm. He wore only the neat dark shirt tucked into formal trousers that lethally elegantly h

The stairs of the private jet unfolded with a mechanical hiss, the sound sharp and final like a knife sliding from its sheath. The white steps gleamed under the pale morning sun, still kissed with dew as if the runway itself had been waiting for their return.First Dysis walked out, the faint click of her heeled boots touching metal reverberating over the silence. Her frame was hugging a navy trench coat, belted tightly at the waist, and the hem fluttered in the chilly breeze like a flag of quiet resistance. Her dark hair, sleek and parted to the side, was twisted into a low twist, the kind of easy grace required without asking for it. Under the coat, black silk shadows and disciplined lines suggested something armor-like less a dress, more a declaration.Behind her, Alexander emerged like a storm in a tailored suit obsidian-black with a deep charcoal shirt beneath, open just at the collar, no tie. His silver cufflinks, bearing the Levi crest, caught the morning light like small, deli
