I was still sitting on the edge of the bed, pressing a hand against my forehead. The pain was slowly subsiding, but the words of the man in my memory continued to echo in my mind. The pieces of the puzzle in my head still hadn't completely fallen into place.

The heir to this family.

What did he mean?

I didn't even know who my family really was.

Yet there was one thing that confused me more than anything. Why didn't I have a single memory connected to Ivy? Why hadn't that woman's face appeared i

  • I Lied That I Was The Mafia King's Wife   Part 19

    I was still sitting on the edge of the bed, pressing a hand against my forehead. The pain was slowly subsiding, but the words of the man in my memory continued to echo in my mind. The pieces of the puzzle in my head still hadn't completely fallen into place.The heir to this family.What did he mean?I didn't even know who my family really was.Yet there was one thing that confused me more than anything. Why didn't I have a single memory connected to Ivy? Why hadn't that woman's face appeared in my memories?I slowly got to my feet and walked out onto the balcony, simply taking in the view of the beach spread out before me. Today and for the next seven days, I would be spending time with Ivy. At the very least, it might help clear both our minds.I hoped.The sound of the door opening made me turn around. Ivy appeared, carrying several bags of food and some medicine. She smiled at me.“I bought you some medicine, but you need to eat first before you take it,” she said, then sat down i

    “Why would you ask that, Kael?” Ivy’s voice rose, catching me slightly off guard. Her swollen eyes made it obvious that she still hadn’t been able to move on from Jason.What could possibly make her this devastated over Jason? She had me now.“Why? You should already have the answer to that!” I stepped forward and crouched in front of her, taking both of her hands.“Ivy, can’t you let go of Jason? Is that why you’re still keeping his picture in our closet?”“Kael, I’ve already moved on from Jason.”“But you’re crying over him, Ivy!” I said, squeezing her fingers. “If you’ve really moved on, then how could you still cry like this?”Ivy’s eyes widened. The light in them dimmed. Her parted lips slowly closed, unable to form an answer.She lowered her gaze to our intertwined fingers.“Ivy, forget Jason. You have me now. Your husband.”God, I couldn’t believe I had just said that. I knew Ivy was still afraid of me. My past behavior had already made her distance herself from me, and now I w

    I could hear Jason breathing on the other end of the line. Silence stretched between us for several seconds.“Husband?” he repeated, sounding incredulous.“Yes. Do you have a problem with that?” I asked sharply. My grip tightened around the phone.“No,” Jason stammered. “I just... I didn’t know Ivy was married,” he admitted, leaving me silent for several seconds. Ivy had really kept our relationship a secret from other people, but something about it still nagged at me.If she really didn’t want anyone to know about our marriage, then why was she still keeping Jason’s photo?I didn’t know.“She didn’t feel the need to tell you.” My voice came out colder than it should have. I didn’t even know why I was so angry. Jason was nothing more than Ivy’s ex-boyfriend. Nothing else.“I need to talk to Ivy now.”“Didn’t I already tell you? She’s asleep!” I pressed.Jason was silent for a moment. His breath came out heavily. “Then wake her up. Ivy isn’t difficult to wake when she’s asleep. She can

    I pulled back slightly, giving Ivy enough space to breathe. My eyes roamed over her flushed face, her swollen, wet lips, and the reddish mark on her neck. Before I knew it, a satisfied smile tugged at my lips as I took in how disheveled she looked beneath me.Honestly, deep down, I wanted to make her even more disheveled. But I knew Ivy was still trembling whenever I touched her.“I need to make dinner,” she said, avoiding my gaze.“Yeah, use that excuse to get away from me again.”“I’m not making excuses. I really do want to cook,” Ivy denied.My thumb brushed over her flushed cheek before sliding beneath her lower lip. “All right. Want me to help you cook?”“No!” She answered much faster than I expected. “I can do it myself,” she added, quickly getting out of bed and hurrying away from me. She practically ran.As soon as the bedroom door closed, I lay back on the bed and let out a long breath. Damn, the pressure down there was almost unbearable. Without thinking, I rubbed the part o

    I walked quickly toward the bedroom, trying to ignore the heat spreading all the way to my ears.Honeymoon.That one word kept spinning around in my head like a song I couldn't turn off. Honestly, I hadn't even had time to process the lie Mitch had made up about my car, and now he had added another lie that was far more dangerous.Mitch had dragged me into a honeymoon plan with Kael. God, with Kael? After what happened in the bathroom?How was I supposed to face that man now? I was already too embarrassed to even look him in the eyes!I covered my face before lying down on the bed.“Stupid,” I muttered, lightly smacking my forehead. Why hadn't I just refused Mitch's offer? One million dollars was clearly not worth what I was going to have to deal with later.My relationship with Kael could hardly be called normal.I was still afraid of him.The problem was, the man could be so gentle one second, then turn impulsive the next. Just a few minutes ago, he had nearly beaten Mitch simply be

    I immediately ran down from the porch when I saw Kael about to punch Mitch again. My heart was pounding so hard that it seemed to fill my ears. Before I could reach them, Kael's fist had already swung forward and slammed into Mitch's face, the impact making me instinctively stop.“Mitch!” I screamed.“How dare you touch Ivy!” Kael snapped, grabbing my arm before I could reach Mitch, who had fallen to the ground.Mitch touched the corner of his mouth, then looked at the blood on his fingertips. Instead of fighting back, however, he lifted his head and stared at Kael with an expression I had never seen on him before.Fear.I frowned. I had always known Mitch wasn't an ordinary man. He calculated everything carefully, even when he was dealing with Kael. He had never shown fear or hesitation. But now, Mitch looked shaken.His shoulders were tense, and his gaze remained fixed on Kael with clear caution.But more than that, I couldn't believe Kael had punched Mitch simply because the man ha
