Miriam's POV

I leaned against the car seat, my arms folded across my chest as I tried to calm my wandering mind.

It has been a chaotic evening. From the alarms down to the fire and the smoke filled corridor. It was all now getting to me how dangerous the situation was and that I thought it was a drill.

I seriously needed to work on my lazy habits and take things more seriously. If Lazar had not arrived on time. What would I have done?

My apartment building was probably swarming with firefighters by now, which will make it impossible for me to stay there at least for a while.

But instead of me being worried about that, I kept stealing glances at Lazar, who hasn’t said much since we entered this luxurious car.

His jaw was clenched tightly and his knuckles looked a little bit white from gripping the wheel tightly.

He looked calm….well the version of calm that I know…but I could see the tension in the way his shoulders did not relax.

If I did not know him I would have said he was nervous

  • Exclusively Mine: The Mafia’s Bride   THE DAY

    Miriam's POV“I have somewhere I have to be,” I said to Clara as I picked up my bag.“Really? You know we are meeting with the president today and it's mandatory for all workers.” She raised her brows in disbelief. Her tone held confusion and a pinch of concern. She had a right to be confused; I never missed important work events. Especially not one where the president of the company would be present, but today wasn’t an ordinary day.I forced a calm smile onto my face even though my heart felt like it might burst out of my chest. “I will be back in no time,” I assured her, trying to keep my voice steady.Clara didn’t look convinced, but she nodded anyway. “Okay then. I’ll call you. Take care.”“Thanks,” I murmured, already turning away before she could study me further.I stepped out of the office and walked toward the part of town where the salon and boutique were located. Tonight has to be perfect. I wasn't just dressing up, I was preparing to face the world as who I truly was. T

  • Exclusively Mine: The Mafia’s Bride   KARMA

    Miriam’s POV I went back to my desk acting like everything was okay, waiting for the storm to unravel.It was past lunchtime but still everything looked normal at the office, people went about typing documents, answering calls whenever the phone rang. It was just like every other day but I knew it was not going to last long and as if the universe could hear my thoughts, the director of accounting and the head of the legal department walked onto our floor with several police officers trailing behind them.My chest tightened and a small sharp smile made its way to my face as I observed the situation. The drama I had anticipated was about to start. My colleagues noticed the unusual presence of the uniformed men and they began murmuring amongst themselves, craning their necks, trying to see what was happening.“What’s going on?” “Why are the police here?”Different voices echoed as people stood up from their desks and moved toward the hallway. Everyone hoped to get a bit of news, but no

  • Exclusively Mine: The Mafia’s Bride   STEP INTO THE LIGHT

    Miriam’s POVThe bright sunlight filtering into the room from the window was the first thing I saw the moment I opened my eyes.But I also felt a strong feeling of warmth.I looked up only to see Lazar still fast asleep, his hands around me.My heart tightened at this foreign sight and feeling. I soon realised that ever since I met Lazar and got married this was the first time we shared a bed and woke up together.He looked so peaceful. I could not stop myself from caressing his full eye brows.Being so close to him I could finally study his features. He was indeed very handsome, from his sharp jawline to his lips… his very kissable lips which were beautiful and plump. I could not stop myself from touching them as images of his lips against mine flashed across my mind.“Like what you see?” Lazar asked and I froze completely caught off guard.He was awake.My eyes locked with his light green eyes. It felt like he sucked in my soul with how intense his gaze was.Seeing him look at me s

  • Exclusively Mine: The Mafia’s Bride   THEIR INTIMACY

    Miriam’s POV“Are you okay?” I asked him as soon as he ended the call.“Yeah, just work stuff. But I will handle it tomorrow.” He said.“Oh okay.” I could not help but feel that something was not adding up but I had no proof. “Sooo…. Can we continue?” He asked, his brows slightly raised.And the tense atmosphere immediately became heated once again.“ Lazar….” I breathed out as his arm circled my waist once again while his fingers gently placed my loose hair behind my ears.“Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?” He whispered as he stared at me like I was a goddess and he could not wait to worship me.My heart was pounding frantically in my chest and my breathing was uneven. I felt like any moment from now I was going to start hyperventilating with how hot my cheeks felt.“Maybe.” “Then I have to tell you again. You are beautiful, Miriam, absolutely breathtaking. I must have done a good deed in my past life to have you as mine.” He complimented and my heart basically did back

  • Exclusively Mine: The Mafia’s Bride   WHEN WALLS BEGIN TO FALL

    Miriam’s POVThe house felt strangely quiet when I stepped inside which was unusual as Lazar was always at home whenever I arrived from work.I sighed softly and closed the door behind me. My heart felt heavy but also… full. A weird mix. Like two emotions fighting inside me, one afraid, one hopeful.I dropped my bag on the couch and leaned back against the soft cushions, replaying the conversation I had with Sara earlier at the office.Her face had been so serious when I spoke about Lazar. The moment I told her how I had been slowly falling for him, how every day with him made me feel something I didn’t expect, safety… warmth… peace, she didn’t laugh or judge me.Instead, she stared at me with those sharp, kind eyes of hers and said, “Miriam, you have to allow yourself to heal. Not everyone will break you like your parents did. Not everyone will use you like William did. Sometimes people really care.”And I was stunned, because she was right.I was scared. Terrified even, the idea of

  • Exclusively Mine: The Mafia’s Bride   EMBRACE

    Miriam’s POVThe morning sunlight felt too bright. It streamed through the tall windows of Lazar’s penthouse like warm needles, poking at the back of my eyes. I blinked and sat up slowly. I had slept, but not rested. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the van doors slam shut, smelled the cold-metal air, felt the hands grabbing me.Two weeks of rest. That was what Lazar insisted on.But I was slowly losing my mind from just spending two days in the house. I could not wait to go back to work. I was sick and tired of the silence when Lazar was not around. Before I looked forward to my alone time and spending the whole day alone but now I can't even spend two days without feeling suffocated. After much pleading and convincing Lazar finally agreed to let me go to work. It's not like he has the final say on what I decide to do or not but I guess I just wanted his approval.And now I am going back to work. I needed it. I needed something normal.I took a deep breath, smoothed down my cre
