last update Last Updated: 2025-10-15 17:01:37

The door to my room opened, and from my bed, I told the employee to come in. The girl was the only person who had entered and left the room in the past week, just to leave a food tray and take away the dirty dishes—often with the food untouched.

The girl came in and did her routine. She was quite young, maybe a few years older than me, but still young and very pretty. In my first weeks here, I had tried to get closer to her; I needed someone to talk to, but the employee seemed to dislike me. She only ever said a couple of words to me. When I saw I had no chance with her, I reached out to Marco, but he wasn't here now either. What was worse was I didn't even know if he was still alive. The idea that Enzo had done something to him because of me was one of the many things that tormented me and wouldn't let me sleep.

“Do you need anything else, ma’am?” the employee asked after leaving my lunch on the nightstand and picking up the untouched breakfast.

“No, thanks, I’m fine,” I lied. I wasn

  • Contract Marriage to the Cold Hearted Mafia Boss    Chapter 100: What Home

    Arianna I run my hands over my head because it has started to ache."I’m very confused, Ilaria. I don’t even know what I want.""And that’s okay too. Give yourself time; you don’t have to make a decision right now.""Do you think he’ll be willing to wait? Enzo isn’t exactly an example of patience.""He will. He’ll do it because he loves you.""I wish I could be as confident as you are.""Well, now that’s his job—to earn your trust. Let’s hope he knows how to do it.""If I decide not to go back... do you think he’ll let me go?"She lets out a long sigh before answering:"He’ll go crazy, there’s no doubt about that. But I think so—I think he would let you go. If you had asked me a couple of months ago, I’d have my doubts. But after everything that’s happened, I’m sure he would respect your decision.""And if he tries to take my son from me?"The mere idea terrifies me, but I have to think about all possible options."No, he won’t do that. As long as you allow him to be a part of the ch

    AriannaI sob, curled into a ball on the bed, my gaze vacant and my hope fading. It seems as though God, fate, or whatever pulls the strings of our lives doesn't want me to be happy or to find peace. There is always something haunting me, a latent threat, and perhaps it’s time to accept that it will always be this way because of the world I was born into."I know it’s hard, but try to calm down," Ilaria tries to comfort me, stroking my arm in a motherly way. "This isn't good for the baby; you need to rest and stay relaxed.""Rest and stay relaxed?" I ask rhetorically, turning to look at her. "Tell me how one achieves that in this world of shit I had the misfortune of being born into."My words come out more bitter than I intended; after all, it’s not her fault. She only wants to help."You gain nothing by lamenting things that cannot be changed, Arianna. I understand your life hasn't been easy—not with your parents, and not with Enzo. I know better than anyone how you feel after what

    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

    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,

    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

    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
