|| Narrator’s Pov ||

Rosa’s eyes trembled at the scene before her in a distance.

Time seemed to freeze.

Her breath caught in her throat.

Her body refused to move.

Bump! Bump!

Her heart raced uncontrollably as she recognized the familiar back kneeling before her parents’ tomb. The back she would never mistake to recognize. The one she had thought she’d never see again.

He was there right before her eyes. Rosa could hear her own heartbeat pounding in her ears. Her existence was hanging between sh

  • The Mafia Professor’s Cruel Obsession   148. The devil!

    || Narrator’s Pov ||The city buzzed outside, yet inside the elegant café, everything was calm. Rosa sat quietly by the glass wall. Her eyes were following the flow of people on the sidewalk.“Now tell me, I’m curious. What made you so happy you called me here?” Aria asked, leaning across the glass table.Rosa wrapped both hands around her warm coffee cup. Her cheeks were faintly flushed.“Tell me, nah!” Aria insisted, curiosity bubbling in her tone.Rosa bared her teeth in a shy grin while kicking her foot against the marble floor repeatedly. Aria narrowed her eyebrows. It was rare to see Rosa’s dull face lit up like this after months of gloom and it made Aria secretly relieved.Rosa suddenly covered her mouth with her palm while glancing around nervously. She was scared that her small outburst might’ve drawn attention. But everyone inside the café was quietly immersed in their own worlds. Couples were talking in hushed tones, friends were scrolling through their phones and waiters m

  • The Mafia Professor’s Cruel Obsession   147. Dream?

    || Narrator’s Pov ||Killian stepped out of the shower while shaking his head, scattering droplets from his wet hair. The top buttons of his white shirt was open. Beads of water traced the lines of his toned chest. He’d slipped back into the same clothes. He hadn’t brought anything else anyways.Rubbing his hair with the towel she’d given him, Killian caught her sweet scent to the fabric and damn, it made his pulse slow and quicken all at once.He made his way toward the kitchen, only to stop at the sight before him.Rosalie was moving around the counter, a little flustered and completely lost in what she was doing. For a moment, Killian forgot to breathe in mesmerization. It was the first time he’d ever seen her cooking. She looked determined and heartbreakingly beautiful with her hair tied in a messy bun.Watching her like that... a sudden thought crossed his mind.Killian’s thoughts scattered when Rosa gasped softly upon seeing him. She quickly reached up to fix her hair, but Killi

  • The Mafia Professor’s Cruel Obsession   146. Togetherness!

    || Narrator’s Pov ||Morning light spilled through the curtains. Killian let out a low sound before his lashes parted. When he tried to move, his arm stopped midair and eyes shifted to the side.His blue eyes stilled. She was there nestled in his arms. Her tiny hands rested over his chest. Her face was tucked perfectly against him.For a long moment, Killian just stared, drinking in the sight. Then a slow breath escaped him.Relief. Peace.For once, peace didn’t feel like a fantasy.Killian shifted only a little and pulled her closer, wrapping her small frame tighter against his own protectively. It wasn’t a dream. She was here.Killian sank into thought. For the first time in months, he woke up from sleep with a clear head and a strange lightness in his chest. He hadn’t slept this peacefully before. Last night, he’d watched her sleep until midnight, until he couldn’t resist any longer to hold her and relax into a slumber with her. Then he actually slept, deeply, peacefully and he kne

Bump!Her heart raced uncontrollably as she recognized the familiar back kneeling before her parents’ tomb. The back she would never mistake to recognize. The one she had thought she’d never see again.He was there right before her eyes. Rosa could hear her own heartbeat pounding in her ears. Her existence was hanging between shock, relief... and something she couldn’t even name.Rosa never imagined she’d see him again, here, in a place like this, under circumstances like these.Her legs trembled, barely able to support her weight in shock as if the earth itself had softened beneath her. She needed to convince herself she wasn’t hallucinating this. He was alive. He was really here. Rosa didn’t know whether to scream, cry, or collapse or to feel anything at that moment.Her lips parted.“Professor!”Her voice rang out,

  • The Mafia Professor’s Cruel Obsession   144. Mysterious visitor!

    || Narrator’s Pov ||“These just came in this morning, miss. Fresh from the garden. We’ve got red roses, whites, yellows, pinks, lilies, mixed, anything you’d like.” the shop owner said while spraying water over the fresh petals.Rosa’s numb eyes drifted over the vibrant display before her lips parted faintly. “White.”The shop owner smiled at the pale girl. “Roses? Lilies or–”“Anything.” Rosa whispered faintly.“Alright, then I’ll make you a white mix of all.” the man said kindly and began to arrange the bouquet.“Two bouquets.” Rosa mumbled at last.She stood there in silence. Her frail weak body was barely holding itself upright. When the bouquet was ready, she quietly took it, paid, and stepped outside, waiting for a cab with the bouquet clutched in her hands.After getting into the car, Rosa stayed silent during the ride. Her gaze fixed on the white petals resting in her lap.“Ma’am, we’ve arrived.” the driver’s voice broke her trance.Rosa blinked. Her fingers tightened slightl

  • The Mafia Professor’s Cruel Obsession   143. Regret!

    || Narrator’s POV ||“ROSA!” Aria yelled, rushing to Rosa who had collapsed on the floor.She crouched down, tapping Rosa’s pale cheeks. Rosa was totally unconscious. “Rosa? Open your eyes! Rosa?” she gasped.————Aria gently placed a damp cloth on Rosa’s forehead. Rosa’s skin was burning with fever. Her eyelids parted weakly, breaths came out shallow and fast.Her blurry gaze met Aria’s worried eyes.Aria’s eyes softened as she took in the sight before her. Rosa looked utterly worn out, paler than she had been in the last two months. Her skin was dull, lips dry, and dark circles hollowed her delicate face from sleepless nights.Rosa looked fragile and weaker than Aria had ever seen her. It didn’t take her long to understand what had brought Rosa to this point.“What have you been doing to yourself?” Aria paused. “Look at you, Rosalie. Do you even realize what state you’re in?”Rosa blinked slowly. Her tired eyes moved to meet Aria’s. Her head rested weakly against the bedpost.“It’s
