Rosa poured the coffee into the cup when Mira stepped beside her.

“Rosalie, pass this to me. There are a few customers, go greet them.” Rosa offered a soft smile and nodded.

She stepped out of the section to greet them but froze in her tracks.

Aria had just entered the café, her fingers tangled tightly with a man’s hand.

Rosa’s lips pressed together into a knowing smile as she recognized him—Noah.

The same boy who had asked Aria to dance that night and Aria secretly had a crush

    || Narrator’s Pov ||Killian walked further. His eyes roamed across the surroundings. So much has changed. The main door was open. He crossed the threshold, scanning the interior until his gaze landed on the man on the couch who was calmly sipping his tea.Killian took a step forward. “Hello, John.”John, his uncle, shot a glance toward the doorway at the sudden voice. His eyes widened. His nephew had returned after years.John stood up. “So, the infamous nephew finally shows up. Still calling me by name, huh? Welcome home. I’ve seen the headlines. A mafia now, and you think that scares me? Sit down, let’s talk.” He sank back onto the couch.Killian’s smirk widened. He took slow predatory steps, hands tucked into his pockets.“Won’t you ask why I came here, dear uncle?” He smirked with a menacing edge in his voice.John lifted his teacup casually. “Family ties are hard to ignore. It always has a way of pulling back together. I’m not surprised.”Killian’s eyes blackened. “Funny, that p

    || Narrator’s Pov ||—Flashback Continued—Killian entered the house. The first person to come into view was his uncle. His father’s only brother, John.“Why did you refuse to let Hana be buried in the backyard?” Killian demanded in a voice full of despise.John, who had been speaking on a call, turned to face the young man and his eyes widened at the sight of Killian’s bloodshot gaze and clenched fists.“Where have you been?” John raised his voice.Killian’s deadly pained glare bore into him. His teeth clenched. “I asked you, why did you refuse to let my sister be buried on my father’s property?!” Each word hissed out.His heart still throbbed from the loss.“That’s not your concern right now, Killian. Calm yourself. I was talking with the police. They’re looking into the postmortem reports.”Killian’s burning eyes darkened sharply. Calm? His sister was r*ped, murdered brutally and they expect him to stay calm? His fists trembled violently and nails dug into his palms as rage began t

  • The Mafia Professor’s Cruel Obsession   152. Thirteen years ago!

    || Narrator’s Pov ||Rosa wore a white knee-length dress adorned with a pink ribbon at the waist. She looked so pretty in the soft blend of white and pink, just like a delicate doll. She thought Killian was taking her on a date, so she had even put on a little makeup. Nodding at her reflection with satisfaction, she hurried down the stairs.Killian wasn’t in the mansion, and Chris had come to pick her up. Her face lit up the moment she saw him waiting by the car.“Hi, brother.” she greeted cheerfully.Chris straightened his posture. His heart softened at the sweetness of the girl before him. “Hey, little sis. Get in.” he said calmly.Rosa padded toward the back door, but Chris stopped her. “No, sit up front. Passenger seat is yours.”“Oh! Thank you.” Rosa exclaimed, hurrying into the car as Chris followed. She clicked her seatbelt into place.“I like sitting here! It’s so windy, and I can see everything on the road!” Rosa exclaimed happily, then turned to Chris with wide eyes. “Brothe

    || Narrator’s Pov ||The soft click of the door made Killian turn. Rosa stepped out of the bathroom, dressed in a top and sweatpants. A towel wrapped around her damp hair. Her freshly washed skin glistened with droplets of water under the pale daylight.“Umm, what are you doing here?” Rosa asked as soon as she saw him.Killian poked his inner cheek with his tongue before stepping toward her. Rosa’s heart raced and she looked up at his tall approaching figure.Killian closed the distance between them and rested his forearm on the wall above her head. His gaze locked onto hers.“The men said you’re back, but you didn’t come to meet me after returning.” he purred with a velvety voice “So I came to find my pretty bunny.”Rosa’s back pressed against the wall and her heart pounded. She blinked up at him through her lashes. “I was tired.” her gaze dropping to his broad chest.Killian leaned in a little more, catching the fresh scent of soap clinging to her skin. It made his head spin.“How w

    || Narrator’s Pov ||In the dim bedroom, Killian leaned back against the bedpost. His laptop was balanced on his lap and his long slender fingers typed rapidly on the keyboards.Killian was working with one hand since his other arm was wrapped around Rosa’s waist, keeping her close while she rested her head against the side of his chest. Her pen scribbled lazily across her notepad.Rosa glanced up at his face “I don’t get it.” she complained.Killian’s eyes dropped to her notes and his expression softened. “Where are you having trouble? Show me.”Rosa pointed at her notepad, pouting faintly while staring at him. Killian leaned closer and explained it patiently once more in a low voice.Rosa was determined to study properly because her finals are near.“Ouh!” Rosa suddenly exclaimed. “I got it now!” she beamed. Then she leaned up, pressed a quick kiss to his cheek and returned to solving the problem with a little smile.Killian bit his lip, still feeling her soft kiss. He forced his ey

    || Narrator’s Pov ||Killian’s hands moved skillfully over the seatbelt. “To the basement.” he said casually without looking up.When Killian finally glanced at her, he noticed her furrowed brow and the familiar flicker of fear in her eyes. Realization hit him.Rosa’s fingers clutched her skirt.“Goddamnit! I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it. I was... joking.” Killian leaned closer to catch the noises she made out of nervousness. “I’m sorry, bunny.” he coaxed her calmly.“I don’t want to go.” Rosalie whispered, shifting back slightly.Killian cursed under his breath at the words that had slipped out of his own mouth. Perhaps it was a reflex from the things he does in the basement.He should’ve been careful knowing she was trying to adjust with him and trying to accept him. He can’t risk losing her again. The fear of losing her was still there.“I’m taking you to my office. Relax.” Killian rasped.Rosa blinked up at him softly. “Why would you scare me like that?”“It just slipped out.” he adm
