“Mermaid,” Nick’s voice made her stir up from her sleep. But she didn’t open her eyes thinking this is her dream.
“Wake up, mermaid. Look at your kingdom,” he chuckled softly.Naomi smiled, still thinking this is a dream.
“Darling open your eyes and look at this ocean. Don’t waste time sleeping here,” he said and yes, she could hear the sound of the ocean.
Naomi left a small sigh and opened her eyes to look at the blue sea from the window.
She smiles and her gaze turns to Nick.
“Isn’t that beautiful?” he asks.
“Yes,” she nods smiling at him.“Now, wake up. I want to go there with you,” he said.
“Give me five minutes, please,” she requested, squinting her eyes. He can’t deny it when she does that expression.
“Fine,”
When he was about to get up, sh
Loving the Mafia HeirChapter- 1“Meet you on Monday,” Lisa says as she and Naomi came out of their class after discussing their new assignment with which they were partnered.“Sure,” Naomi gave a smile. “What’s your plan for the evening?”“Nothing, you know Nicholas is having a match so everyone went there to see it and my mom will be picking me up at the entrance,”“You are going to watch the match?” she asks.“Yeah,” Naomi nodded with no enthusiasm.“Enjoy then, bye,” Lisa smiles as she walks to her car.

The dinner is at Magnus’s favorite restaurant, all of them have gathered to celebrate the victory. His father has booked the entire place for the night. After that embarrassing moment, Naomi stayed silent and didn’t put on her hearing aid.The adults sat together at a table and they occupied the other seats. She looked at Nicholas and Magnus chatting busily about the match. Through their lip-sync, she understood Nick was telling how he managed to knock out the players and it’s gruesome how describes it so Naomi turned down and looked at the table.Seeing her dull face, Jorge whispers, “What’s this sad face? Are you still angry at him?”“What?” she turned to him.“Put your hearing aid,” he says and she did. Then he said that again.“No, I am not feeling good,”“Tell me what’s bothering you?” he asks.Naomi gave in easily, “It’s Nick. H
āMom, I am going to Juliaās home,ā Naomi said to her mother whoās in her study room, working on her new novel. Naomi is a great fan of her momās book, she loves all the male characters, they are so dreamlike and charming. Her all-time favorite is Victor, Ashleyās debut novel Hero. Heās a great character, and over the years she somewhat understood that itās based on her father. Till now, she didnāt meet such a type of person in her life but it would be great if she finds a guy whoās attractive like the heroes in her momās novel. āOkay dear,ā she first nodded but then turned her attention to Naomi, āAre you sure? Because last time, Nick and you had a fight. I canāt see you sad like that,ā she said removing her glasses. āMom, thatās fine. I wonāt mind him this time,ā she says confidently. āWhy donāt you ask Julia to come here?ā her mom suggested. āNo, mom. I am fine. She has exams tomorrow and sheās preparing for them. Nothing like last time will

Chapter- 7“Naomi?” Derek's voice surged in joy and excitement but she didn’t pay much attention to that and thought it’s normal.“Yes, Derek,” she said while lying on her bed. She was just taking a nap after a long time.“Are you coming to that party?” he wanted a confirmation. “Yes, Derek. I have told you,” she uttered in half-sleep.“Okay, are you sleeping?” he asks.“Yeah, I just woke up from the nap,” she answered and got up from the bed.“Tell me, Derek, what’s the matter?” she asks when he
Chapter- 8Naomi couldn’t take her eyes off Nick. He looked hunky in that perfectly fit white shirt and pair of black tailored pants. Handsome is really a small word to describe what she’s seeing right now, it’s more than that.Out of everyone she sees here, he’s looked more attractive to her eyes. Her heart is racing and she couldn’t stop anything that’s happening inside her.She then turned her gaze to Derek who looked different today, a little more handsome and dressed better than all these guys. He got a new haircut that complemented his looks. No one will believe she’s related to this bunch of hot fellas.Her eyes again turned to Nickolas, though he has short hair (as his boxing coach put a rule not to grow
