The sun was shining bright as we stepped out of the hotel, the warm breeze carrying the sweet scent of orange blossoms through the streets of Madrid. Sylus smiled, his eyes sparkling with amusement, as he took my hand.

"Today, we're going to play tourist," he said, his voice low and husky. "What do you want to see first?"

I grinned, trying to sound excited. "How about the Royal Palace?"

Sylus nodded, leading me towards the palace. As we walked, he pointed out various landmarks and shared storie

  • Mafia King's Substitute Wife   CHAPTER 73: GOODBYE

    The dimly lit hallway of the mansion seemed to stretch on forever, the shadows dancing on the walls like specters of my guilt. It was 4:30 AM, the city still shrouded in the dark veil of night, the only sound the distant hum of the city outside the windows. I stood frozen, my heart heavy with the weight of what I was about to do. I took a deep breath, trying to calm the storm raging inside me. This was part of the plan, I reminded myself. Get in, get the info, and get out. But it wasn't that simple anymore. The lines between Charlotte and Carmine had blurred, like the edges of a watercolor painting left out in the rain. I looked into the bedroom where Sylus and Natalia were sleeping. Sylus' arm was wrapped around his pillow, like he was holding onto something precious, his chest rising and falling with each gentle breath. Natalia was curled up with her favorite stuffed animal, a tiny smile on her face, her eyelids fluttering with a dream. I felt a pang in my chest, like a violin str

  • Mafia King's Substitute Wife   CHAPTER 72: LAST MOMENTS

    The autumn sun cast a golden glow over New York City as Sylus suggested a family outing with Natalia. "Let's spend the day in Central Park," he said, his voice low and smooth, like the jazz playing in the background.I felt a pang in my chest, a quiet ache that I'd been trying to ignore. This was it. Soon, I'd have to leave. But for now, I wanted to savor this day, to bottle it up and keep it forever.We walked through the Upper East Side streets, the trees lining the sidewalk like sentinels, their leaves rustling in the gentle breeze. Natalia skipped ahead, her laughter carrying on the wind, as she chased after a squirrel that was trying to steal a pretzel from a street vendor.As we entered the park, Sylus took my hand, his fingers intertwining with mine like they belonged there. Like we were a real couple, a real family. I felt a flutter in my chest, a tiny spark of hope that I quickly tamped down. This wasn't real, I reminded myself. It was just a job, a means to an end.We stroll

  • Mafia King's Substitute Wife   CHAPTER 71: FALLING

    "Thank you for taking care of me when I got sick," Luke said to me as he handed me a cup of iced coffee. He went to the company to return the jacket that I have forgotten at his pad. I shook my head and smiled at him. "It's alright. If you don't feel really well, just call me. I can take care of you." "Oh, so you are a nurse now?" "Well, I won't say that I'm good at it, but I think I was able to take care of you." He nodded his head and smiled, "You're right. If you didn't stay that night, for sure my fever would've gotten worse." "It's nothing. By the way, thanks for the coffee." "Alright. By the way, where is Sylus?" he suddenly asked. "He is in a meeting right now." "I see. By the way, how's your family's company? Is it doing alright now?" I nodded my head as I put the cup of coffee down. "It's doing really fine now. My dad is already asking me to go back to my normal life as Carmine, but I don't think I can just leave whenever I want." Luke stared at me for

  • Mafia King's Substitute Wife   CHAPTER 70: SUBMISSION

    I felt a flutter in my chest as Sylus's eyes locked onto mine, his gaze burning with intensity. "Fine," I said. "But if I am late for work, you're the one to blame." Sylus chuckled, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "I'll take the risk then," he said, his voice low and husky. I could feel my hands shaking as I reached out and wrapped my hand around his shaft. It was soft and warm, and I could feel it twitching in my hand as I began to stroke it gently. Sylus's eyes closed, his head tilting back as I worked my hand up and down his length. I felt a surge of power, knowing that I was the one making him feel that way. "Use your mouth," he suddenly whispered, his voice barely audible. I was hesitating at first, but then I leaned forward, my lips brushing against the head of his shaft. It was soft and smooth, and I could taste the saltiness of his skin. I licked my lips, trying to gather my courage. I never did this with anyone before, and I still can't believe I am doing t

  • Mafia King's Substitute Wife   CHAPTER 69: THE PAYMENT

    I opened the door to our apartment, expecting a quiet morning after taking care of Luke. But as I stepped inside, I saw Sylus lounging on the couch, looking way too smug . He was wearing those low-slung jeans that made him look like he just rolled out of bed – which, knowing him, he probably did – and a plain white shirt that was unbuttoned at the top, showing a hint of his chest. His hair was messy, and his eyes sparkled with amusement as he looked up at me. "Charlotte," he said, standing up and walking towards me with that lazy confidence of his. His eyes scanned me like he was checking if I was okay, lingering on my face a bit longer than necessary. "How's Luke?" I shrugged, trying to play it cool as I dropped my bag on the floor. "He's fine. Better now." I kicked off my shoes and walked towards the kitchen, trying to put some distance between us. I needed a moment to breathe after dealing with Luke's weirdness about the portrait. Sylus followed me into the kitchen, leaning a

  • Mafia King's Substitute Wife   CHAPTER 68: THE GIRL IN THE PORTRAIT

    I was sitting beside Luke, watching him sleep, when he suddenly stirred. "Carmine...?" he whispered, his voice barely audible. I immediately stood up and went to his side. "I'm here, Luke. Do you need something?" I asked, trying to sound calm. He looked at me, his eyes hazy and confused. "Who... who are you?" he asked, his brow furrowed in confusion. I felt a pang of worry. Was he okay? Was his fever getting worse? I tried to keep my voice steady. "I'm Carmine, Luke. Your... friend. Do you remember me?" Luke's eyes searched my face, and for a moment, I thought he was going to recognize me. But then he shook his head, his eyes clouding over. "I... I don't know. What's happening?" I felt a shiver run down my spine. What was going on? Was this normal? I tried to think of what to do, but my mind was a blank. Just then, Luke's eyes started to droop, and he leaned back into the pillows, his body relaxing. "Luke? Luke, stay awake," I said, trying to keep him conscious. But it w

    Sylus' POV I can't help myself from smiling as I watched Charlotte walking towards my office. She is now fulfilling our deal. I told her that she can only spend her lunch time with me and not with anyone else if she wants to keep her position. I leaned back in my swivel chair as she opened th

  • Mafia King's Substitute Wife   CHAPTER 42: CONDITIONS

    I woke up with Sylus lying beside me. His features were soft and relaxed. His dark eyelashes cast a shadow on his cheeks, and his lips were slightly parted, as if he was about to share a secret. A faint smile played on his lips, giving him an air of quiet contentment, as if he was dreaming of som

    As we walked around the room, Sylus' hands on my legs seemed to be everywhere, sending shivers down my spine. I tried to focus on the surroundings, but it was so hard to concentrate with him being so close. We passed by the couch, and I felt him lean in, his breath tickling my ear. "You okay, bab

  • Mafia King's Substitute Wife   CHAPTER 40: GAME BEGINS

    My heart was beating so fast as Sylus declared that the game already started. He just added a rule which is to punish me whenever I lie. How can he even tell if I am lying or not? What if he asks questions and I lie? Will he find out? Why does it feels like he knows how to read my mind? Us
