Araceli.

He leaned casually against the mirror, his long legs crossed at the ankles, while his head rested slightly back against the wall. Both of his hands were tucked inside the pockets of his trousers.

He looked like he had just stepped out of a magazine.

When his eyes landed on me, they brightened instantly.

His lips curled into a small smile.

I noticed the faint bags under his eyes, signs of tiredness resting beneath them.

But even that didn’t take away from how handsome he looked.

His bea

    Matvei.“You need to calm down, Matvei. My son.” Violetta’s annoying voice filled my ears. “You worry too much for a commoner; our focus should be on our shipments.”“You are right.” My father complimented his wife, who beamed proudly like the idiot she is.“I need both of you out of here,” I growled.Violetta rolled her eyes while my father gave his head a slow shake. “We have to be here to know why the Bellandi family had the guts to request a Zoom call with us.”“It is a disgrace in the history of the Orlov family for low-class underworld rats such as the Bellandis, who once begged to become our ammunition dealers in secret, to suddenly have the guts to request Don Matvei Orlov on a Zoom call.”I closed my eyes, resting my bandaged head against the headrest.He was right.My pride and ego had been completely wasted. But that wasn’t even what was bothering me at this point.Araceli was with them.She is my wife. Mine.They had the fucking guts to take my wife, chop off her hair, set

    Araceli.My head throbbed painfully as I opened my eyes; the lights were too bright, so bright that it felt like my eyes could scream from it. I squinted them tightly, shifting my body slowly against the ground, noticing the cold tiles underneath me.“The slut is awake.” I heard a deep voice say.I forced my eyes open properly, spotting a large screen placed in front of me. Loud laughter followed immediately. My gaze snapped backwards, landing on different men seated across the couches, smoke curling around them as they puffed on cigarettes and cigars. Antonio was seated directly at the center, behind me.I swallowed hard, dragging my body farther away from them instinctively, my stomach twisting painfully at the heavy scent of whatever they were smoking.“Matvei sure has great taste.” One of the men muttered, his appearance rough and filthy enough to make my skin crawl.“Ah… Ah… Ah…” The man seated at the edge of the couch interrupted mockingly. “Don Matvei, you mean.”They all burst

    Matvei.I got to the destination and stepped out of the car. Geal followed behind me as we walked into the restaurant where Rostislav was waiting.As always, the place had already been cleared out.My men were stationed outside, surrounding the area like a fucking fortress.Rostislav stood up immediately when he saw me. “Don.” He bowed his head in respect.I gave him a curt nod, not wasting a second.I gave him the details, short and straight, then Geal and I took our seats, watching him as he worked on his laptop.But I couldn’t sit still.My leg kept tapping against the floor nonstop, impatience crawling under my skin, suffocating me.Every second felt like a fucking lifetime.Rostislav suddenly paused.His lips parted slightly, confusion flashing across his face before he slowly turned the laptop toward me.My body went still.An unfamiliar man filled the screen—his hand gripping Araceli, pulling her hard against his body as he guided her into a black limo.Geal leaned closer to th

    Matvei.I held the form for the culinary school I had enrolled Araceli into. A part of me kept telling me it wasn’t necessary, that I shouldn’t be bending shit for anyone—but fuck that.She had been so damn persistent with ignoring me, like I didn’t exist, like I was some stranger in my own house. She wasn’t talking to me, wasn’t even looking at me, and that silence…That silence was fucking with my head.It was tearing at something inside me, something I didn’t even know I had, making it impossible to think straight, to function like I normally would.Maybe this would fix it. Maybe it would make her look at me again… talk to me…The door creaked open, and I didn’t need to look to know it was Geal.“We were cut off from the trace we had on the fucker who’s been raiding your warehouses,” he said, dropping into the seat opposite me.I let the paper fall from my hand, shaking my head slowly.Never in my entire fucking life—since I became Don—has anyone managed to stay a step ahead of me.

    Araceli.My legs trembled slightly as I moved towards the sound, my breath getting uneven with each step. A scream almost tore out of my throat when the door suddenly opened.A large inked hand wrapped tightly around my mouth.My eyes widened in shock as I stared at it, already knowing it was Antonio.“Don’t make any noise,” he whispered close to my ear, his grip firm as he started walking backwards, pulling me along with him through a back door I hadn’t even noticed before.Our bodies pressed against each other.It was too close that it made me uncomfortable.There was no warmth in it… nothing soft… nothing that made me feel safe. It wasn’t anything like the way Matvei’s touch wraps around me so easily, so naturally.I tried to shift away from him, but his grip only tightened, his chest still pressed firmly against mine as he kept moving.I felt irritation crawl over my skin.Matvei’s touch felt better.I paused internally, forcing that thought away immediately.I shouldn’t be thinki

    Araceli.A message flashed onto the screen.A: I can see you. Take the back exit through the restroom, love.My breath caught instantly.Without thinking, I pressed the side button, shutting the phone off as it had suddenly burned my fingers. My eyes lifted, and Sonia was already looking at me.A gasp almost escaped my lips.“What happened?” she asked, her voice soft but edged with concern.I shook my head quickly… then nodded… not even sure what I was doing. A strange wave of nervousness crawled up my spine, settling deep in my chest.“I’m fine,” I managed, swallowing the lump forming in my throat.She didn’t look convinced. Her eyes lingered on me, studying, searching—as she could see straight through whatever I was trying to hide.“I just want to use the bathroom,” I added quietly, pushing my chair back as I stood.She hesitated for a second, then nodded. “Do you want juice or matcha?”“I’ll take matcha,” I replied, not even turning back to look at her.I walked toward the end of t

    Araceli.“Hi, Matvei.”The brunette from earlier suddenly stepped forward and wrapped her arms around my husband like she owned him.My stomach dropped the moment her arms circled him.Matvei’s jaw tightened instantly.His eyes never left me, but his fingers did.My eyes burned as I watched another

    Araceli.I turned slightly and saw Matvei standing outside the door, his tall figure casting a shadow across the seat.I bit my lip to stop myself from smiling too widely and stepped out of the car.The moment my feet touched the ground, he slammed the door shut behind me.He avoided my gaze.His j

    Araceli.My heart wanted to argue back, to tell her he had done enough just by offering to take me shopping—nobody had ever done that for me before.But my mind craved more.I could feel it deep inside me, that quiet hunger for more of him. I wanted him to be softer with me, to love me… to apologiz

    Araceli.I nodded and stood up, quickly walking out of his office. My chest was hammering so loudly that I couldn’t even hear Sonia’s footsteps behind me.“Araceli,” Sonia called my name.But I was too deep in my head to stop for her.My legs quickened their pace, almost hopping with excitement as
