Marco pulled his hand back as if my touch burned him and turned to look at Enzo. Both of us had been so caught up in our conversation that neither of us heard the elevator open.

“Sir, excuse me, I thought you were coming back tomorrow,” Marco stammered, and I winced. That only made things worse.

Enzo had been gone for four days. I never knew where he went or what he did when he disappeared. I only found out through Marco when I dared to ask after noticing Enzo hadn’t been home in two nights.

“And since you thought I wasn’t back yet, you decided to take advantage of the opportunity to sit in my house and put your hands on my wife?” Enzo’s voice cut through the room like a blade.

My wife.

My chest tightened at the way he said it. Now, suddenly, I was his wife.

“No, sir, of course not,” Marco said quickly, his face pale.

I could see how much trouble Marco was in. The risk was written all over him, and I couldn’t let him carry it alone. I jumped in.

  • Contract Marriage to the Cold Hearted Mafia Boss    Chapter 98: Worse Wounds

    Enzo"I know, and it was stupid of me to say something like that. I was just scared—scared of feeling exactly what I'm feeling right now.""And what are you feeling?""An atrocious fear of losing you both, of them hurting you, of them harming you. Arianna , look at yourself! Look at what they did to you because of me. I almost lost you; I almost lost both of you. How do you think I feel knowing you both almost died because of me?""I was born into this world, Enzo. With or without you, the threat has always been there.""Yes, but being my wife put you in a much more vulnerable position, and the fact that I love you the way I do paints a target on your back. You are my damn weak point, cara, and now they know it."I swallow hard to get past the knot that has formed in my throat, and he touches my belly again."And now there’s him, or her," he adds, a faint smile appearing. "And all that fear doubles. Now it's not one target; it’s two."I can't help but feel empathy for him; however, he

  • Contract Marriage to the Cold Hearted Mafia Boss    Chapter 97: Clinging To Life

    Arianna I hear their voices all around me, their mockery, their disgusting provocations, their laughter as they touch me. I hug myself, bringing my legs to my chest, hiding my face, turning into an insignificant little ball in the middle of them—in the middle of pitiless bastards.I ask my son's forgiveness for what is going to happen. I beg him to forgive me for not thinking, but I did everything to protect him—to protect him from the man who was supposed to be our defender, but who, if he found out about his existence, would become our executioner. I ask him to please hold on to me, to hold on to life; for him, I will endure this and more.Suddenly, the lights go out. I submerge into a deep darkness, into an infinite void where neither crying nor pain exists. A feeling of fullness invades me and a bonfire wraps around me, dissipating the inclement cold that has seeped into my bones.His voice, his arms, his warmth...I love you so much.The cold returns, the pain returns; the tears,

  • Contract Marriage to the Cold Hearted Mafia Boss    Chapter 96: Wake Up My Love

    EnzoAntonio reaches my side, stepping over the pile of fallen bodies, and anguish is reflected on his face when he notices the blood soaking my shirt."I have to get you out of here," he declares, alarmed."No, I'm going for her," I reply sharply, continuing toward the last door with him behind me.When I open it, everything explodes again—the desperation, the rage, but also the relief and the hope. I run toward her and fall to my knees on the filthy mattress where she is lying. The heart I thought I had already buried wakes up, racing like never before, but at the same time, it breaks seeing her battered body, her wounded hands, the dried blood on her mouth.I take her unconscious body and pull it to my chest, clinging to her like I’ve never clung to anything in my life. Her heart beating against mine tells me she is still here, that she is still with me, but I fear it won’t be for long."Wake up, cara," I plead as I kiss her hair like a desperate madman. "Wake up, my love. Don't le

  • Contract Marriage to the Cold Hearted Mafia Boss    Chapter 95: Anything for her

    Enzo Desperation dominates me, my lungs collapse, and I feel a terrible pain in my chest that extends to my left arm. I stand up agitatedly, wanting to run but not knowing where, thirsty for blood, but above all, willing to give everything to get her out of there."I have to talk to the Arabs," I declare, walking restlessly. "I have to cancel the deal, I have to blow up the fucking factory.""You’re not going to do any of that, Enzo," Antonio declares, stepping into my path."Of course I am! I’m going to do whatever I have to do, Antonio, whatever is necessary to get her out of there!""Think clearly, Enzo.""Stop fucking around, Antonio! It’s my wife who is in there and I don't give a damn about the business, the organization, or even my own life. I’ll do anything, I’ll offer them my head if that’s what they want, but I’m not going to allow them to keep hurting her!"I try to leave the office but Antonio stops me and we struggle."You aren't going anywhere!""Go to hell!""They’re g

    Enzo"You are too blinded. You'll kill her prematurely. Let Mario handle it. The system guys already have some locations. Come on, let's take a breath. You need to be sane for them.”"Them."His use of the plural stirs too many things in me, and I finally yield. I get to my feet, and Mario is already beside me."Do it well," I order. "You have my damn life in your hands," I confess, allowing myself to be vulnerable in front of him for a moment."I will, sir. I learned from the best," he verbalizes what I already thought.I nod, and I don't know if it's because the whole situation has me stunned, but I approach him and dare to give him one more vote of confidence."She's pregnant," I whisper so only he hears, and I feel as if the words both burn and relieve me.He looks into my eyes, and I see surprise in his, and then understanding."I understand. Leave it in my hands. We will find them."Antonio grabs my arm and forces me to walk. Along with Ilaria, he leads me back to my office and

    Enzo "-I-I don't know what you're talking about," she stutters, but I recognize the lie plastered on her face. "Tell me where in hell they have my wife, because I swear to hell that every single thing they do to her, every moan, every tear, I will make you pay for it, and I will do it a thousand times worse." "I swear it, I swear I don't know." "You helped her! Because of you, she knew how to leave without being seen, and I'm sure that wasn't an act of kindness, so speak up, and maybe I'll have a little mercy and kill you painlessly." "Enzo." Ilaria calls my name, but I can't take my eyes off the bitch in front of me. "Enzo!" she screams. "What?!" I turn to look at her, and the paleness of her face makes me dizzy. "You have another message," she says, extending the phone to me. My strength fails again, and I drop the bitch, who crawls to cover herself, but Marco intercepts her and doesn't let her move further. I take two steps towards Ilaria and take the phone with trembling ha
