I Went on a Blind Date for My Best Friend and Became the Mafia Heir’s Favorite Chapter 13
“I’ve bought your life outright. It’s mine now.”In the golden sunset outside the office, we held each other tightly as all my coworkers stared in shock.Six months later.I sat on the couch in Gus’ office at Cooper Group, scrolling through my phone.Gus was in the middle of a video conference with his employees from overseas.He wore a perfectly tailored suit, his brow slightly furrowed. He spoke fluently, decisively, and commandingly, his presence filling the room.The perfect image of a cold, untouchable CEO.I couldn’t resist sneaking a photo of his profile and posting it on social media.Caption: [Mr. Cooper looks so handsome working hard to provide for his family.]Within a minute, a string of likes and comments appeared.Charlie: [Mrs. Cooper, Mr. Cooper just smiled during the meeting! The people on the other end thought the deal was doomed!]The executives’ group chat at Cooper Group erupted:[Oh my God! The boss liked the post! He even commented with a kiss emoji!][Is this re

“I lied.”Gus jerked his head up and stared at me in disbelief.“What did you say?”“I said I lied.”I looked at his stunned expression and finally couldn’t hold back my laughter.“There’s no blind date. I just wanted to see how much you cared about me.”Gus’ breathing grew rougher.He stared at me as the red faded from his eyes, replaced by a complicated mix of delight and lingering fear.“Stella Hayes, you’re getting bolder by the day.”He ground out the words, then suddenly pulled me into his arms.He held me so tightly it felt as if he wanted to absorb me into his very being.I could feel his broad chest heaving, and his hands were still trembling slightly.“Do you have any idea what I was about to…”He buried his face in the crook of my neck. His voice came out muffled, tinged with the relief of someone who’d just escaped disaster.“I almost lost my mind.”I reached up and gently patted his back.“I know.”I leaned close to his ear and whispered so only he could hear:“I know you

My coworkers nearby were so frightened that they stumbled backward, leaving a clear path.I swallowed and looked at the murderous expression on his face. Instinctively, I started to take a step back.But he was already closing in, right in front of me.He grabbed my wrist.His grip was so strong it nearly crushed the bone, but his palm was frighteningly hot.“A blind date?”He ground out the words through clenched teeth, his voice so hoarse and terrifying it sounded as if a demon had crawled out of hell.“Which idiot with a death wish dared to go on a date with you? Stella Hayes, have you been treating everything I said like it went in one ear and out the other?!“I told you, you’re mine! I paid to have you, and your life belongs to me!“If you dare meet another man, I’ll break his legs! Then I’ll lock you in the mansion so you can’t go anywhere!”Gasps rippled through the crowd. A few timid coworkers even covered their mouths.I looked at him, furious and out of control, but I didn’t

I started teasing him even more.I deliberately posted melodramatic, moody captions on social media, then watched him get so worked up he’d like my post in the middle of the night and immediately unlike it. The next day, he’d show up at work with dark circles under his eyes.I deliberately praised some up-and-coming male star’s looks and abs in front of him.I watched his face darken on the spot. The next day, he had the star’s posters taken down overnight from every shopping mall owned by Cooper Group, then secretly did push-ups in his office.I was like a wicked, mischievous hunter.I knew exactly how to push his buttons, savoring every moment he lost control over me.But I knew that this charged, flirtatious push-and-pull had to reach a breaking point eventually.Friday afternoon, close to quitting time.The setting sun bathed the business district’s skyscrapers in gold.I sat at my desk, reading a message Gus had sent me on WhatsApp.[Tonight, we’re trying on wedding outfits. I’ll

And every day, my favorite pastime was watching Gus put on his cool, aloof act while the comments let me peek into his wildly beating, lovesick heart.Tuesday morning.I was killing time at the office, twirling a pen.On a whim, I sent Gus a sticker on WhatsApp: a white Ragdoll peeking around a corner to watch someone.Then I tossed my phone aside.A full ten minutes passed before Gus finally replied with one incredibly aloof, almost dismissive word:[Mm.]I stared at the message and pursed my lips. This man really had no romantic bone in his body.The next second, translucent comments flooded across my vision:[Holy crap! Gus is losing it in the executive conference room!][He was just chewing out the CFO when he saw that cat sticker and completely froze!][The whole room thought he was about to flip the table, but he stared at the sticker for a full ten minutes! He was practically grinning from ear to ear!][He imagined Stella was being cute with him! He thinks she’s like that Ragdol

Sutton would pay a hundredfold for every wrong she’d done me.“Take her away.”Gus uttered those words coldly.Four bodyguards in black appeared like ghosts.Without hesitation, they clamped a hand over Sutton’s mouth and dragged her roughly into a black van like a limp dog.The door slammed shut, cutting off her screams.The people nearby fell silent and quickly scattered, afraid of angering the dangerous man.The street grew quiet again.Gus turned around, pulled a pure white handkerchief from his pocket, and unhurriedly wiped his fingers, as if he’d just dealt with a piece of worthless trash.But the phone call he made next sealed Sutton’s fate.“Charlie.”Gus spoke into his Bluetooth earpiece, his voice utterly cold.“Look into the Taylor family’s building supply business. By sunrise tomorrow, I want it forced into liquidation.“And spread the word to everyone in the industry: anyone who hires Sutton Taylor is picking a fight with me.”A few offhand remarks had just destroyed the f
