Lazar’s POV

Taking Miriam home felt like breathing again after nearly drowning.

The hospital smell still clung to memory making me feel sick but the warm feeling of her palm on mine made me feel relieved.

I kept glancing at her in the car, scared that if I looked away for a second she might disappear and I would never see her again.

Her eyes were on the window, watching the city lights blur past. She looked peaceful, tired but also deep in thoughts.

I could not begin to imagine what could be going through her mind. The whole event that happened must have taken a toll on her but she was so good at covering it up.

When the doctor signed her discharge papers earlier, something inside my chest eased, but the fear still lingered like a shadow that refused to let go.

The memory of that day….of almost losing her, clawed at me even now.

She turned to me with a small smile.

“How are you feeling?”

“I’m glad I'm going home.” She replied.

Home. The way she said it filled my heart with warmth

  • 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

  • Exclusively Mine: The Mafia’s Bride   RAGING JEALOUSY

    Janet's POVIt had been days since the failed kidnapping, yet the thought of it still made my blood boil.I had planned everything so carefully and still, somehow, Miriam had slipped through my fingers.Worse than that, the mercenaries I hired were all found dead. Every one of them.Slaughtered and dumped by the road side. It was just unbelievable and somewhat scary.What could have killed them? Or to be precise who could have killed them?I sat by the window of my study, the dim light from the lamp casting a soft shadow of my body across the floor.I poured myself a glass of wine hoping to calm my nerves while my brain racked, thinking of what to do next. Although I had been very careful when placing my orders, by not using my own name and using a secured communication channel to tell them what I wanted, even the payment I had done was through channels I was sure could never be traced back to me. I had tried to get rid of her anonymously but…it is clear that she clearly has someone

  • Exclusively Mine: The Mafia’s Bride   UNEXPECTED DISCOVERY

    Lazar's POV The strong smell of bleach and anaesthetic was the only thing I could smell.The bright white wall made me uneasy and uncomfortable but I could push through all this discomfort because of Miriam.Seeing her pale and unconscious made my heart ache in ways I can't begin to express.I stood by Miriam's bed and watched her sleep feeling too scared to move away or lose sight of her as I feared the worst might happen if I left her side.Nurses walked in and out, checking her vitals as well as the IV drip connected to her arm.Although the doctors and nurses have reassured me she was okay and was only unconscious due to shock. It does nothing to calm my raging nerves. Over the last few hours Rodosov had been working hard to clean up the mess we left behind, those groups of men who tried to kidnap Miriam.We don't want the police sniffing around because of this incident but I also want to find out who was behind it all. The thought of finding that person filled me with unexplai

  • Exclusively Mine: The Mafia’s Bride   HIS APOLOGY

    Miriam’s POVThe annoying sound of something beeping was all I could hear but I could not see anything, only darkness“Am I dead?” I thought to myself.Suddenly light pieced through the darkness covering my vision.I could finally see again… but am I not supposed to be dead. And what the hell was making that noise?” I thought to myself as I tried to focus my hazy vision.The white ceiling was what I saw followed by the bright bulb that was seconds away from blinding me.“Where am I?” I thought I was dead but strangely enough after life sure looks like a hospital.Or wait…was I in the hospital.Out of nowhere, I felt a warm sensation on my hand. I looked down and he was there.It was Lazar.My heart skipped a beat as I stared at the head full of hair.He was sitting beside me, his head resting on the edge of my bed, his large hand wrapped around mine. “What's he doing here?”His eyes are closed, his chest rising and falling steadily. He looks… exhausted.I blink rapidly, trying to ma
