“She was a master of concealing her genuine emotions, while you effortlessly display yours." Lucas asserted, causing Kate to blush at his unexpected praise and tenderness.

"I simply follow my instincts, that's all." Kate replied softly, her words causing Lucas's gaze to soften as he gently brushed his thumb down her cheek.

"Following your heart can lead to heartache, you know."

"You wouldn't do that to me though. You understand the pain and betrayal that comes with it." Kate stated, causing Lucas's eyes to widen and look away.

"Is that why you were hesitant about our plan? Despite having everything to gain, you were reluctant to agree to it."

Kate's heart skipped a beat as she carefully chose her words, "You have always been transparent with me about the plan and your intentions."

She thought of how Lucas had always maintained boundaries between them, trying to protect her from falling in love. He was true to his word, and she trusted him. He was nothing like Elizabeth.

  • MR. MAFIA ACHILLES HEEL   Chapter 63_ Porridge Soup

    “Is the sun rising from the west today?” Ace said as he entered the kitchen and saw Lucas wearing an apron, mixing something in a bowl while the chef stood by, giving him instructions. Ace raised his eyebrows. “What are you doing?" he asked curiously.Lucas was not the type to set foot in the kitchen. Ace had never seen him enter the kitchen since his parents' demise. He hated going near this place, so Ace couldn't understand why he was there or what he was trying to do.“Good morning, Sir Ace. Master is learning how to make porridge soup," the chef said, and Ace nodded in understanding.Then his eyes widened in realization, and he snapped his head toward Lucas. "What?” he exclaimed. "You want to learn how to cook, but why?” Ace asked, his tone filled with disbelief."Why? Am I not allowed to learn?” Lucas said without removing his eyes from what he was doing. His shirt sleeves were rolled up as he diced the vegetables and onions effortlessly.Ace’s mouth hung open. He couldn't help

    “What did you say?” Kate asked, wanting Lucas to elaborate further. ‘What does he mean that he wants her to move into his room? Was he breaking his own rules?’“I want you to move into my room," Lucas repeated. Kate's eyes swirled with warmth, yet confusion. She couldn't read the man before her; he was as unreadable as ever.“Why?" she asked in a soft tone.“What, why?" Lucas asked back, and Kate sighed, deciding to let her thoughts out.“Why are you doing this? Now that we're married, I know you have your father's inheritance with you, and no one would be able to stop you or stand in your way. If you keep being this way with me, I’m afraid I won't be able to stop myself from falling in love with you and breaking your rules.”Lucas looked at Kate for a moment. Then he leaned down and kissed her. He pulled back just barely so that his breath touched her lips with each word. "I made the rules so I can break them whenever I want to. You’ve opened my heart in a way I thought no one could,

    The next morning, Lucas woke up with the light of the sun caressing the curtains with its golden rays. His emerald eyes peeled open, and the first thing that greeted his sight was the beautiful face of his wife.‘His wife,’ Lucas repeated in his head, liking the sound of it. She slept peacefully, facing him, and their legs were draped across each other's.Lucas's eyes gleamed with affection as he watched her sleeping form. He felt a blissful feeling welling up in his chest. Suddenly, he had the urge to sleep next to her every day and wake up beside her the next morning. He wanted to have days like this with her every single day of his life.After leaving Ace behind in the study room last night, Lucas entered his room, and seeing Kate lying peacefully on his bed made him want to join her and sleep next to her while holding her in his arms. And that was exactly what he did.It didn’t take him long to fall asleep when the warmth of her body melted with his and lured him to sleep. ‘Was he

    “What is the plan?” Elizabeth asked her father immediately as they entered the living room. She had been hurt seeing Lucas marry someone else right in front of her! She had wanted to cause a scene earlier, accusing Kate of stealing her man and taking away the status of being Mrs. Romano from her.In the beginning, she had befriended Lucas because her father ordered her to do so and wanted to forge an alliance with the most powerful mafia gang in the country. But after spending time with Lucas and experiencing what it seemed like for a man like Lucas to love a woman, Elizabeth deviated from her father's plan.She became greedy for more. She wanted to own the man completely, his heart and everything he had. She wanted to be his wife—how powerful she'd become if her father and Lucas joined forces through her. They would dominate the world, and she’d be at the pinnacle. People would respect her more and fear her.Just when she was almost close to succeeding in her plans and fulfilling her

    “Where do you think you are going?” Lucas asked with knitted brows when he saw Kate heading to the hallway that led to her room instead of his. Was she going to sleep in her bedroom? Had she forgotten that they were newlyweds now, and tonight was supposed to be their wedding night? Lucas mused silently as he watched her.Kate pursed her lips together, not understanding what the man wanted from her again. She had married him, hadn't she? What else did he want from her?“I'm going to my room," she answered, despite the thoughts in her head.Lucas raised a brow at her words. “Need I remind you that we're legally married now? You're my wife, Kate. And you will sleep in my room, on my bed… beside your husband,” he said, his tone brooking no argument.Kate scoffed at his words as she put her hands on her waist. “What marriage? Are you having delusions now? This is a fake marriage, alright? I'm not going to put up with your tyrannical ways of having things go your way!"Lucas took a step clo

    The cathedral stood with its magnificent dome and intricate stone carvings that have stood the test of time. It was a sight to behold. Outside of it, Ace stood there with furrowed brows as he appeared to be dialing someone on the phone and placing the mobile close to his ear. He was pacing back and forth; his expression weary. He had tried his best to delay the wedding and keep the guests waiting for Lucas, but Ace couldn't bear it any longer when people started to get impatient, and with Wilson watching his every move, he couldn't make it so obvious that something was wrong.He was finally able to catch a breather and left the suffocating hall, and that was when he decided to try calling Lucas on the phone. If he didn't appear with Kate in a few minutes, Ace was certain he wouldn't have any excuse left to keep the guests waiting anymore.“What's wrong, Ace? Where is Lucas and his little bride?" Elizabeth said as she stood behind Ace with a knowing smile. Then she placed her hands on
