Miley’s POV:

The city of London blurred past my window as the car glided through morning traffic. I didn’t feel the movement. I barely registered the rhythm of tires against asphalt. My mind was stuck on one thing, the message I received this morning.

“We need to talk. Just you and me.”

Just reading it had twisted something in my gut. But I didn’t let it show. Not then. Not now.

I wasn’t the same girl who used to wait at the bottom of the stairs, hoping for her father to cancel a meeting, to stay for dinner, to remember her birthday.

No.

That girl was dead.

And today, I was meeting the man who’d helped bury her.

Nico hadn’t liked the idea. That much was obvious. His jaw had tensed when I told him. He hadn’t tried to stop me, but the silence between us had said everything. Still, this morning, without a word, he handed me a sleek new watch—barely thicker than a coin, matte black.

“Take this,” he said. “In case you need anything.”

His voice had been soft, but there was steel in it. No r

  • Mafia King's Contract Wife: The Angel of Revenge   Ch-132: Recovering...

    Miley's POVI held Tulio a little tighter, brushing his damp hair from his forehead, letting the warmth of my body try to chase away the tremors of fever and fear. Nico’s presence was a constant shadow of strength beside me, his hand occasionally brushing mine, a silent reassurance that he was already thinking three steps ahead. I watched Tulio’s small chest rise and fall, eyes fluttering in shallow sleep, and I couldn’t stop myself from running through every possible scenario in my head—every moment Emily might have had to tamper with the cookies, every opportunity she could have used to hurt him.Minutes later, Nico’s phone buzzed sharply. He glanced at the screen and his jaw tightened. “Right,” he muttered, then dialed a number. I could hear only fragments—low, clipped words, a voice giving information quickly—but the impact of the call made Nico’s expression darken further.“What is it?” I asked, my voice tight.“She’s been spotted,” he said, his tone low and dangerous. “Near the

  • Mafia King's Contract Wife: The Angel of Revenge   Ch-131: Cookies

    Miley's POV I stayed close to Tulio as Nico dialed his phone again, the low hum of his tone reminding me that he was already calculating the next move, even as I wrestled with the fear coiling in my chest. Tulio had finally settled against the pillows, small arms clutching at my shirt, eyes half-lidded but still restless. He muttered something about the cookies again, but it was indistinct, half-dream, half-memory.Nico’s phone buzzed with a call back. He answered curtly, his voice shifting to the sharp edge I knew meant business. I tried not to listen too closely, but the words reached me anyway, laced with that lethal calm he always carried.“Yes… yes, what do you have?” His eyes sharpened, scanning Tulio and the room as if nothing could escape him. “Where? Show me everything.” He listened, nodding slowly. Then he spoke again, this time his voice low and lethal. “She was spotted… near the bakeries on Church Street… yes, multiple times over the past few days. Good. Keep tracking, do

  • Mafia King's Contract Wife: The Angel of Revenge   Ch-130: Cold knot

    Miley's POVThe bedroom was warm, scented with the faint aroma of vanilla and lavender from the candles Nico insisted on lighting, and I felt the softness of the sheets beneath me as his hands traced my back in slow, deliberate patterns. His touch was electric, leaving trails of fire wherever it lingered, and I leaned into him instinctively, letting my head rest against his chest. The quiet hum of the city outside seemed distant, irrelevant. All that mattered was the heat of him, the low rumble of his voice as he whispered my name like it was a spell.“I’ve missed you,” he murmured, lips brushing against my temple, a soft feathering that made my stomach twist and my pulse quicken. I had missed him, too, more than I had allowed myself to admit. Life in the company, the constant chess game with Emily lurking on the sidelines, had worn me down in ways I hadn’t fully realized until now, until Nico’s presence reminded me of what it felt like to be untouchable, unstoppable, and yet utterly

  • Mafia King's Contract Wife: The Angel of Revenge   Ch-129: Never alone

    Miley's POVI sipped the last of my coffee, letting the warmth settle through me as Nico leaned against the kitchen counter, eyes fixed on me in that way that made my pulse stutter every time. “You ready?” he asked, voice low, teasing, but there was an undercurrent of steel I couldn’t ignore.“Ready as I’ll ever be,” I said, setting the mug down. My fingers lingered on the rim, steadying myself. “Emily’s going to try something today. I can feel it.”He smirked, pushing off the counter to walk toward me. “Then we make sure she fails. Together.” He slipped an arm around my waist, pulling me close. “Nothing touches my Angel.”I shivered at the possessiveness, but the reminder of our last night gave me courage. “Good,” I murmured. “Because the first crisis hits the moment we walk in.”He raised a brow. “Already?”“Yes,” I said. “The first supplier sent a panic email about fabric shortages. They claim their dye machine broke, but I have a feeling—call it intuition—that someone’s trying to

  • Mafia King's Contract Wife: The Angel of Revenge   Ch-128: His, forever

    Miley's POVThe city lights spilled through the floor-to-ceiling windows of our penthouse, painting streaks of gold and amber across the marble floors. I had just returned from the office, still buzzing from a day of crises narrowly avoided, when I felt him behind me before I even heard him. Nico. Always like a shadow, always more than just presence—he was a force.“Long day,” he murmured into my ear, his warm breath sending shivers down my spine.I stiffened for a moment, pretending to remain composed. “The usual,” I said, trying to sound casual as I set my bag down. But my pulse betrayed me. His hand brushed mine as he stepped closer, his fingers trailing lightly, almost teasingly, along my arm.“Usual doesn’t usually leave you looking like you’re about to collapse,” he said, his voice deep, velvety, and commanding all at once.I swallowed, the weight of his gaze making me ache in ways that had nothing to do with work. “I’m fine,” I whispered, but the words sounded hollow even to my

  • Mafia King's Contract Wife: The Angel of Revenge   Ch-127: Always

    Miley's POVThe morning sunlight filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, and I couldn’t help but take a deep breath. After yesterday’s chaos, I knew today would demand every ounce of focus I had, and yet, as I sipped my coffee, I allowed myself a small smile. Tulio bounced ahead of me in the lobby, already trying to balance his lunchbox on his head like it was a crown. “Angel, look! I’m the king of lunch!” he declared. I chuckled, ruffling his hair. “Careful, Your Majesty, don’t trip over your kingdom.” He laughed and ran ahead, leaving a trail of giggles and the faint aroma of chocolate cookies. Even in the midst of a stormy business week, little moments like this reminded me why I fought so hard—for control, yes, but also for them.Nico followed silently behind, his presence a steady anchor. He gave me a quick nod as we entered the elevator, and I felt my chest ease slightly. Yesterday had been intense, and though we had handled multiple crises, I knew Emily wou
