Arianna

I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror and, surprisingly, I didn't look so bad today.

Sleep must’ve helped. Maybe it was exhaustion catching up with me after the wedding, the disastrous first night, and the long trip. Or perhaps it was from locking myself away the day before, spiraling through a thousand thoughts and crying until I couldn’t anymore.

Either way, I had fallen asleep like a stone, and this morning, I felt lighter. Not perfect, but better.

I unzipped my toiletry bag and

  • Contract Marriage to the Cold Hearted Mafia Boss    Chapter 110: Mrs Romano- Finale

    EnzoShe bites my neck gently but with enough force for me to feel it—not only in my neck, but lower.“You are my husband, Luca,” she declares, looking back into my eyes, “and I don’t care what you do out there. I don’t care about the mask you have to wear, I don’t care what you have to give in to, as long as here, in our home, you are mine and only mine.”I pull her firmly by the nape of the neck and claim her mouth in a furious kiss that, with every passing second, loses more and more decency, turning into something wild and untamed—a perverse game of tongues and teeth in which each of us tries to devour more of the other, each of us trying to make up for lost time.Her hands grow desperate, tugging at my shirt until she starts undoing the buttons.“Are you sure?” I ask between kisses and pants, because no matter how much I want this, I don’t want her to regret it afterward.“Very sure,” she declares, pulling my shirt from my pants before beginning to undo my belt.“The baby,” I que

    EnzoArianna hasn’t stopped bouncing her leg nervously. She’s been doing it since we left.“Are we almost there?” she asks again.“Cara, for the twenty-fifth time, no—it’s just five minutes away. You’re making it sound like we’ve been driving for hours.”“Can I at least take off the blindfold? Not being able to see is driving me crazy.”“No, you can’t. Calm down—we’re here.”Sure enough, we reach the place, and the gates open to let us in.We park, and I help her out of the car.“Can I take it off now?”“Not yet. Walk carefully.”I position her exactly where I want her, right in front of everything, where she can take in every detail. I stand behind her and remove the blindfold.“Surprise,” I whisper in her ear.Her jaw drops, her eyes widening as she takes in the stone-front house standing before her. She says nothing, and nerves begin clawing at me. I can’t tell if she’s excited or disappointed.“I know it’s far from the university, but it’s close to Stella’s, and I thought you’d wa

  • Contract Marriage to the Cold Hearted Mafia Boss    Chapter 108: First Date

    EnzoMy hands are sweaty as I wait, which feels ridiculous considering I’m married to that woman—but this time things are different. In this story, we’ve definitely done everything backwards.“Where are you planning to take her?” Antonio asks in that ridiculous, over-the-top concerned tone he only uses to mess with me.“To a hotel, to fuck her until dawn,” I reply sarcastically, and he pretends to be offended.“If you keep talking like that, I’m not handing my daughter over to you, young man.”“Stop being such a clown—or are you practicing for when some pubescent kid wants to stick it into Graziela?”The expression on his face shifts instantly from mockery to anger, and even my skin prickles with discomfort.“Shut the fuck up, asshole! You’re going to have a daughter too.”That statement makes the chill intensify.“Better not talk about that,” I agree.Arianna appears at the top of the stairs, interrupting the uncomfortable direction our conversation had taken, and my breath catches w

  • Contract Marriage to the Cold Hearted Mafia Boss    Chapter 107: Potential

    EnzoI pull my coat tighter around my body and tuck my gloved hands beneath my arms. The weather is absolute shit this time of year, and the most sensible thing would be to wait for her inside the car—but it’s too far, and my anxiety gets the better of me. I want to see her the moment she comes out. So here I am, standing in the middle of campus with my feet buried in snow, while a bunch of hormonal girls stare at me like I’m a porn actor about to make their dirtiest fantasies come true.At another point in my life, I would’ve been more than happy to help them out. But now things are different, and instead of scratching the itch with just anyone, here I am—deep in absolute abstinence.Mario lights a cigarette to keep warm, leaning against a tree while he keeps watch. I feel the urge to ask him for one, but I stop myself. I’ve decided to quit for my daughter—nicotine isn’t good for her development, not now, and not when I finally get to hold her in my arms.“Put that shit out!” I shout

    Arianna His response leaves me a bit stunned because he's completely right; maybe I'm sending him mixed signals, and it's normal that he doesn't know how to act."The truth is, I don't even know exactly what I want, Enzo."I hug myself, rubbing my arms because even though the dress has long sleeves, the air is freezing."I think coming out here wasn't such a good idea," he says with a half-smile that doesn't reach his eyes.He stands up, takes off his jacket, and sits beside me to drape it over my shoulders. I wrap myself in it, and feeling his scent envelop me sends all my hormones into overdrive—tears start pooling in my eyes."What I think is that we need to communicate better. We can't keep assuming things about each other, or we'll never get anywhere.""I agree with that."I look at him closely, and having him so near isn't doing my system any favors."I don't want you to pull away like that. I don't want you to feel like you need an excuse to call me or come see me. Of course,

  • Contract Marriage to the Cold Hearted Mafia Boss    Chapter 105: Daddy's Here

    AriannaThe dinner is served, and the exquisite aromas fill the entire house, which looks majestically decorated, but the scent that pleases me the most is the scent of home. That feeling, until now unknown, of being in a family, of feeling at peace despite the war raging outside.For me, Christmases were always big, boring parties with people I didn't even know and expensive gifts under the tree that I had to open alone, so hearing Luciano laugh out loud while his father plays with him feels like a choir of angels—it's the sound of hope, of happiness.Graziela approaches with clumsy steps that make me laugh with tenderness; it's beautiful to see how she grows and every new thing she learns. I bend down to kiss her rosy cheeks, but when I'm about to pick her up, her mother's shout stops me."What are you doing?" she asks, alarmed, running toward us to pick up the baby. "You're crazy, Ari, you can't lift any weight, and get up—you can't be down there crouching either."I obey without a
