I woke up to the sharp smell of medicine in my nose. The scent of antiseptic and alcohol. I blinked several times, trying to shake off the fog still clouding my head. White ceiling, blindingly bright fluorescent lights. I was in a hospital or a clinic. Or a treatment room. I didn't know.

Then I saw him.

Alexandro sat in a chair next to the bed. His face wasn't as blank as usual. There was something there, a mix of anger, worry, and relief he didn't want to admit. His eyes stared at me sharply.

  • Contracted to the Mafia: A Plus-Size Bride   Chapter 194

    I walked around the office without any destination. My feet carried me down the familiar hallways, past the employees' workspaces, each person busy with their own world. I just needed to calm myself down. The air in the lobby earlier was too cold. My thoughts about Mia were too suffocating, and my crying had made my eyes sting.But suddenly, every phone on this floor rang at the same time.Not one or two, but dozens, like a chaotic orchestra. The sound of ringing came from every direction, from every desk, from every room. Employees who had been sitting calmly were now moving quickly. Some answered the phones with panic in their voices, some ran to other rooms, some cursed softly while opening their laptops."Yes, that's right. That's the official statement.""I just saw it too. Yes, earlier this afternoon.""The PR team has already stepped in. We're waiting for instructions.""The media has started calling. Some from TV, some from newspapers, some from online outlets."I was confused

    I sat in the lobby. The lobby of Alexandro's office building was wide, cold, with shiny white marble floors and high ceilings. I wiped my tears with the back of my hand. My makeup must have been smudged, but I didn't care. I didn't care about the receptionist's occasional glances in my direction. I didn't care about the employees walking past carefully, as if afraid to disturb me. I had just made friends. After being alone for so long, after only talking to Gianna, Marco, and the servants for so long, I finally had friends. Mia and a few others in class who were friendly to me. But now, they were all pulling away, and the other friends didn't dare look me in the eye. Alexandro approached me. I didn't need to turn around to know it was him. I could recognize his footsteps from a hundred meters away. He stood beside me. "I was just warning them," he said. I looked at him. "Mia didn't do anything wrong. She only recommended that medicine. I bought it myself." Alexandro was silent

    Three days later.I returned to campus after taking time off because of the poisoning from the diet pills that nearly killed me.I stepped into the classroom with mixed feelings. I missed the campus atmosphere. I missed the monotonous voice of the lecturer, the scattered notes on the desks, and I missed Mia, who always invited me to the cafeteria. But as soon as I entered, the atmosphere changed.Mia's seat was empty.I looked around. Mia was sitting in the corner, with another friend, and her face looked different. Usually she was friendly, often smiling, often talking to me, but today, when my eyes met hers, she immediately looked down as if she was scared.I approached her."I'm back in class. Sorry I was out for three days because I was sick. I missed some material yesterday. Can I borrow your notes?"Mia didn't look at me. Her trembling hand took a notebook from her bag and handed it to me without a word. I accepted it."Thank you," I said.She only nodded."What's wrong? Are you

His eyes stared at me sharply."Finally, you're awake," he said."My head is so dizzy," I whispered.I tried to sit up, but his hand pressed down on my shoulder, forcing me to stay lying down."Don't move. You just passed out. The doctor said you got poisoned by medication."I fell silent. Poisoned? Medication? I hadn't taken anything except..."I know you've been hiding something from me," Alexandro said. His voice started to rise. "I know something has been wrong with your health lately, but I never thought you were stupid

    After the lecture ended, the crowd of students slowly left the room. I was still standing in front of Alexandro, holding his hand, not caring about the few pairs of eyes still glancing our way. Let them know. I was tired of hiding."Come on," he said."Where?""You already promised to buy shoes.""That's later. I still have time now. Where are you taking me?"Alexandro didn't answer. He pulled my hand, leading me out of the classroom, through the hallway, past the campus gate. Gianna, who was waiting in the car, blinked seeing me holding hands with Alexandro. Usually, we never showed affection like this in public.Alexandro opened the car door for me. "Get in."The car drove away from campus, passing familiar streets, then turned in a direction I had never been before. We passed a wealthy neighborhood, then entered a more open area. In the distance, I saw a vast expanse of land, some half built buildings, and large cranes standing tall like giant robots."This is my latest property pr

    The Business Management lecture went on as usual. My lecturer, a middle aged man with thick glasses and a thin mustache, was explaining marketing strategies in the digital era. His voice was monotonous, making some students in the back start to get drowsy.I sat in the third row, next to Mia. We both tried to focus, jotting down important points, occasionally exchanging notes. Mia really was a good friend. She always shared her information selflessly. I was grateful to have a friend like her.But I also knew that Mia and all my classmates knew who I was. They knew I was Alexandro De Luca's contract wife. Back when I first started college, I tried to hide my identity. But how could I?My ride was always a sleek black car with two bodyguards always standing near the gate. The De Luca name was too big not to be known. Sooner or later, everyone found out. I was the contract wife of a wealthy businessman known for being cold and ruthless.Luckily, they didn't treat me differently. Mia rema

    The priest began to recite the prayer in a steady voice that echoed throughout the church. I stood still beside Alexandro, my hands feeling stiff as I held the bouquet. The scent of lilies was too strong, almost making me dizzy."We are gathered here today to witness the marriage of Alexandro De Lu

    I showed him everything I had learned from Mira.I sat on his lap, both arms wrapped around his neck. My breath was slow, rhythmic, exactly as Mira taught. "Breathing is the key," she said before. "Proper breathing can make a man lose control."I whispered in his ear. "Where do you want me to start

    Three days since Mira came.Three days I learned, about touch, about sound, about movement, about how to make a man want you. And every night, I waited.Alexandro did not come home.Around ten at night, I heard a car in the driveway. My heart pounded wildly.I ran to the window. The black car was p

    At nine fifty, I was already sitting in the living room, my heart pounding. The simple house dress I was wearing didn't feel like enough. I twisted the hem of my clothes and waited.Right at ten o'clock, Mira arrived.Today she looked different. Still beautiful, still graceful, but her clothes were
