Nico's POV:

My muscles were coiled tight, my instincts screaming for action.

Every sound, every crunch of a branch beneath hurried feet, sharpened my senses further. I was just about to pivot and strike, when a soft sound knocked on my eardrums.

“Nico?”

I froze.

That voice was gentle and familiar… and definitely not a threat.

I turned sharply to find Miley standing a few feet away, holding a glass lantern. Its golden glow flickered against her face, reflecting in her glassy eyes which were fixed on my face, reflecting concern and curiosity in almost equal measure.

“Miley.”

She took a step forward, eyeing me cautiously.

“Are you okay?”

My posture stiffened, not wanting to show any more vulnerability… for some reason, fate was really adamant on bringing us face to face during the worst lows.

I drew a sharp breath and turned my gaze away, my jaw clenching on its own.

“Yes. I’m fine. Why are you here?”

“You seemed disturbed all day…”

She said quietly. “Then you just vanished. Tulio sa

  • Mafia King's Contract Wife: The Angel of Revenge   Ch-100: Flash Drive

    Miley's POV I woke up with the weight of the flash drive still heavy in my mind, even though it was just a small piece of metal sitting on my nightstand. The files I’d gone through last night weren’t just numbers and dates—they were threads. Threads leading somewhere Emily would never want me to go. Which is exactly why I wasn’t going to go there. Not yet. If I stormed straight at her family, they’d barricade every door before I even knocked. But if I let her think I was lost, heading in the wrong direction, she’d breathe easier. She’d get careless. And careless people make mistakes. I got dressed, hair pulled back into something sleek, and called my PR head before breakfast. “I want a press update scheduled today. Noon. Keep it under the guise of a corporate briefing.” “Got it,” she said without missing a beat. “Any special talking points?” “Oh, just a little… misdirection.” By the time I arrived at the venue, the air outside was already thick with camera flashes and murmurs.

  • Mafia King's Contract Wife: The Angel of Revenge   Ch-99: Right Moment

    Miley's POV Midnight.The kind of hour when the city goes quiet enough to hear your own heartbeat—and maybe the footsteps of someone you wish you didn’t.I’m parked two streets away from the meeting spot. Never at the actual location. Rule number one: always approach on foot. Makes it harder for anyone to trace me if this goes sideways.The alley smells faintly of rain and oil. There’s a single flickering streetlamp at the far end, throwing weak light over a rusted dumpster and a wall plastered with faded posters. My contact is already there, leaning against the wall with a hood pulled low.“You’re late,” they say, voice muffled.“No,” I reply, stepping closer, “you’re early.”We don’t bother with small talk. They pull something from their jacket—a small, black flash drive—and hold it out.“This is what I found.”I take it, keeping my expression neutral. “What’s on it?”“Records. Financial transfers. Some personal communications.” A pause. “All linked to the night your mother died.”

  • Mafia King's Contract Wife: The Angel of Revenge   Ch-98: Burning

    The message is still glowing on my screen when I step out of the car. I found something.I stare at it for a long moment, letting the words sink in. This source has been a ghost for weeks—unreachable and silent. And now they decide to drop this bomb? My pulse kicks up, but I force myself to slip the phone into my pocket without replying. Never answer too quickly. Nico’s voice cuts through my thoughts. “Do I need to clear your schedule for tomorrow?” “Yes,” I say without looking at him. “Completely.” He doesn’t ask why. He just nods and heads inside. That’s the thing about Nico—he doesn’t need all the details to protect me. I linger by the entrance for a moment, scanning the street. And that’s when I see her. Emily. She’s across the road, pretending to be on her phone, but she’s angled just enough to watch me. The same Emily I spotted at the press conference. My lips curl. She came back for another look. I don’t give her time to decide whether to run. I cross the street slowly,

  • Mafia King's Contract Wife: The Angel of Revenge   Ch-97: Relief?

    Miley's POV I returned home from the press conference with a sigh of relief, tossing my handbag onto the couch. My mother was seated at the vanity, fixing her hair in slow, deliberate strokes, while my father read the newspaper as if the world outside our walls barely mattered. “She’s going after the competitors,” I said, my voice bubbling with glee. “Not us. She stood there in front of all those reporters, pointing fingers at people who had nothing to do with this. She’s chasing shadows.” My mother barely looked up from the mirror. “Good. The further she is from the truth, the safer we are.” My father smirked faintly behind the paper. “You sound as if you doubted us. We told you before, no matter what she tries, she’ll never reach the bottom. That grave is sealed, and so is the past.” I folded my arms, pacing. “Still… she’s unpredictable. I’ve seen her pull things off that shouldn’t be possible. I don’t like it when she had that look in her eyes.” My mother waved a hand. “Then

  • Mafia King's Contract Wife: The Angel of Revenge   Ch-96: Bait

    Author's POV:Emily woke to the faint metallic chirp of her phone buzzing against the glass top of her nightstand. She blinked blearily at the sunlight cutting through the blinds, the warm stripes of gold falling across her sheets. Normally she would have ignored it and slept another hour, but the buzz came again, persistent.With a groan, she rolled over and snatched the phone up. The screen lit with a flurry of messages in her friends’ group chat, but one in particular made her sit up straighter.A headline.“Miley Godfrey Pushes for Reinvestigation into Isabella Godfrey’s Death.”Emily’s stomach dropped. She tapped the link so hard her nail clicked against the glass. The article loaded quickly, complete with a sharp, professional photo of Miley, looking determined in a dark blazer. The text beneath spelled it out in cold, unavoidable words: Miley had officially submitted a request to reopen the case surrounding her mother’s death, citing “unresolved questions” and “inconsistencies

  • Mafia King's Contract Wife: The Angel of Revenge   Ch-95: Pretending

    Miley's POV My stomach twisted. The house that was already cold now felt like a crypt. I turned to go, but a hand landed on my shoulder.I jolted, nearly screaming, my breath caught in my throat. My body went rigid.“Hey now.” A low, too-calm voice followed. “You’re here early. Why?”I turned slowly to see my father’s face. Smiling. That quiet, heavy smile that always made my skin crawl. There was no warmth behind it—just calculation, curiosity, and control.I forced my lips to stretch into something resembling a smile.“Hey, Dad,” I said, voice higher than I wanted it to be. “Yeah, I was just… nearby. Thought I’d swing by to grab a few of Mom’s photo albums.”He nodded, gaze scanning my face too closely. Like he was trying to peel something from me.“You look pale.”“I… I skipped lunch,” I said quickly, pulling away slightly and adjusting my bag. “Didn’t realize how late it got.”He reached up, brushing a strand of hair behind my ear.I resisted the urge to flinch.“You always forge
