Araceli.

I sighed softly, my eyes fluttering open to the brightness in the room. My whole body felt weak, heavy… but there was also a strange sense of relief settling deep inside me.

I tried to move, but I couldn’t. Something solid was pressed behind me, holding me in place.

My nose picked up a faint scent—sandalwood and oud—and goosebumps rose instantly across my skin as realization hit me.

My back was pressed against Matvei’s chest, his strong arm wrapped tightly around my waist, pulling me c

  • HER INSECURITY, MY TEMPTATION--MAFIA    Chapter 137

    MatveiThe warehouse echoed with screams; usually, those sounds gave me satisfaction, but today it fucking irritated me. Nothing could satisfy the beast raging inside my chest. Not blood, revenge, or the endless bodies piling up underneath my feet. Nothing.Because none of it brought Araceli back.I sat lazily on the chair placed at the center of the warehouse, my elbow resting on the armrest while my fingers rubbed slowly against my lips. The smell of blood was thick in the air. It coated the back of my throat. Mixed with sweat, fear, and rusted metal, the warehouse smelled like death itself.A man cried somewhere in front of me. The fucker was caught trying to drive the car out of the burnt building.I stared at him blankly. The bastard was saying something and begging, pleading, and crying. Shit. I couldn't even hear him properly.All I could hear was Araceli laughing.The sound echoed inside my head.The way she'd laugh whenever she stole food from my plate.The way she'd pout whe

    Matvei“Matvei...”My eyes searched through the darkness.The voice sounded distant and fucking weak. Like it was being swallowed by the wind.“Matvei...”My chest tightened instantly.Araceli.I knew that voice.I would know it even if the whole world went hell silent.“Araceli?” I called out, moving forward.The darkness stretched endlessly around me. There was nothing but shadows and cold air brushing against my skin. Every step I took felt heavier than the last.Then I saw her.My heart stopped.She stood a few feet away from me, her white dress swaying softly. One hand rested protectively on her bump while her beautiful eyes remained fixed on me.Relief slammed into me.Fuck.There she was.There she fucking was.I rushed toward her.“Araceli.”A smile tugged at her lips.The same smile that always made my chest feel lighter.The same smile that made this fucked up world bearable.I reached for her hand.My fingers almost touched hers. Then she started moving away.My smile vanis

    Araceli.My body weakly collided against the bus wall, exhaustion draining every ounce of strength left in me, while my stomach twisted painfully. I had been starved, only given water, bread twice a day, and some strange pill that always left a bitter taste lingering on my tongue.Day and night, I had prayed Matvei would find his way to me. He always does.Ever since I had been with these strange people, they still hadn’t told me why they were keeping me here. Not once. The silence and uncertainty were slowly driving me insane.My thoughts kept spiraling endlessly, my mind stuck on how to escape from this place if Matvei takes more days before he comes to get me. I would literally die of hunger if he took more than twenty-four hours.My heart bled for my baby. My stomach was always grumbling painfully these days, sharp cramps tightening through my abdomen till tears burned behind my eyes. The baby shifted weakly inside me from time to time, making guilt claw through my chest.The bus

    Matvei.My knees touched the floor, the hard concrete scraping painfully against them, but I could barely feel it. It felt like my whole fucking world was crashing down around me.“FUCKKKKKKKK!.” I growled out, my hands holding my head tightly, fingers digging into my scalp while my eyes stayed fixated on the burnt body before me…The thick smell of smoke and burnt flesh filled the air, choking my lungs.I heard voices beside me, but shit… I just couldn’t decipher whatever the fuck was going on… My brain was too hazy to come into realization, but reality hit me badly.My body started shaking.Shit… I don’t know how, but my body started shaking violently, tears rolling uncontrollably down my face.“They fucking burnt my wife and my baby,” I murmured, harsh breaths coming out of my nostrils, my chest rising unevenly.“Matvei.”I heard my name, but neither my gaze nor my attention could move from the burnt body in front of my eyes.“They burnt my pregnant wife… Shit… They burnt Araceli.”

    Matvei.Three whole fucking days and I still haven’t set my eyes on my pregnant wife. My brain had spun around a million fucking times. I had wasted billions of dollars trying to track her down, but there was no damn sign of her leaving this house. So how the fuck did she disappear?I ran my hand through my hair for the upteenth time today, my eyes burning heavily from exhaustion. Shit. I had gotten so fucking used to sleeping beside her that I don’t even know how to close my eyes anymore.Every time I try to sleep, her face flashes through my head. Her laugh. Her voice. The feeling of her body pressed against mine.Fuck.Closing my eyes now feels like a fucking crime when she’s nowhere to be found.I sat in front of the CCTV footage again, replaying the cameras over and over. The dim light from the screens reflected against the office walls, making the whole room feel colder than usual. There was still no sign of her leaving the mansion.How the fuck did she disappear?!A frustrated

    Araceli.My eyes opened slowly, a frustrated groan leaving my lips as exhaustion wrapped heavily around my body. My head throbbed painfully, my mouth dry and bitter. Realization crashed into me the moment I noticed the room was pitch dark and I was lying on a rough mat that scratched against my skin.Confusion mixed with fear made my breath hitch. I propped myself up on my elbows, holding onto the cold walls to assist myself up. My knees trembled slightly beneath me. I stretched my hands forward, taking slow, careful steps around the room. Everywhere was dark, suffocatingly dark, and I couldn’t see a single thing.My fingers brushed against damp walls, dust clinging to my skin as I searched desperately for a door… or maybe metal… anything. The silence around me was terrifying, broken only by the sound of my uneven breathing. My fear heightened with the unknown pressing heavily against my chest. Oh God… I really hoped Matvei would come looking for me.After minutes of stumbling around
