While we were in the middle of touring around the house, a little girl came running towards Sylus and hugged him. Her blonde wavy hair was flowing down her shoulders beautifully and her eyes looked just like Sylus's. She moved away from Sylus and turned her gaze towards me. Her eyes immediately widened upon seeing my face.

She blinked a few times, staring at my face, trying to check every detail as if she was making sure she was seeing the right person. "M-Mommy?"

Of course, I knew she was Charlotte's daughter. She looked exactly like her.

"That's right, sweetheart. Your mom is back. She came back for us," Sylus suddenly commented, smiling at me.

Tears started filling her eyes while looking at me, "Is that really you, mommy? Are you really my mommy? Did you really come back for us?"

"I-I'm sorry, but I don't know who you are," I replied.

Her brows furrowed, "W-What?"

"Honey, I will explain it later. But for now, I am sure that she is your mom. I will explain everything to you later,

  • Mafia King's Substitute Wife   CHAPTER 62 : HIS CONSEQUENCES

    The clock ticked past 2 AM. The suite was quiet, except for the soft hum of Sylus's laptop in the office room. I was lying in bed, pretending to sleep, but my eyes were fixed on the door. Finally, the office door opened. Sylus came out, looking exhausted but focused. He headed straight to the bathroom without looking at me. I heard the sound of water running, then the rustle of clothes. Sylus came out of the bathroom, wearing just a towel around his waist. He walked to the closet, his back to me. I decided to try talking to him. "Sylus?" I said, my voice soft. He didn't turn around. "Hmm?" he replied, his tone neutral. I sat up in bed, feeling a spark of frustration. "Can we talk?" I asked. Sylus pulled on a pair of sweatpants, still not looking at me. "Not now, Charlotte. I'm tired." I felt a sting. He was still avoiding me. I lay back down, trying to process things. But I wasn't going to let it go that easily. A few minutes passed. Sylus got into bed, careful not

  • Mafia King's Substitute Wife   CHAPTER 61: AVOIDANCE

    Carmine's POVI let out a deep sigh as soon as Sylus stepped out of our room. I still can't forget what he just told me. He said he was really suspicious of me. He even told me we would go back to my doctor to ask about the things that he is being suspicious about.Now I have to think of a better excuse for him not to go to a different doctor. If he does that, for sure I'm doomed."How did he find out about you going to a bar?" Luke asked me over the phone. Ever since he found out about my plan and real motive, Luke Greene became the one I always call whenever Sylus does something that would make him find out about my plan."He surely hired a private investigator for it. He is a mafia boss, it's not impossible for him to do that.""You're right. Then you have to be extra careful. Sylus is smart, and he always wants to get what he wants. Make sure you never let your guard down."I nodded my head as if Luke could actually see me. "I understand.""Also, you have to delete every conversa

  • Mafia King's Substitute Wife   CHAPTER 60: BELIEVING HER

    I leaned back in my chair, sipping my coffee as I watched Charlotte walk into the dining hall. She looked like a ray of sunshine, her smile bright and carefree. But I knew better. I knew she was hiding something.I'd been suspicious for a while, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. That was until I got the call from the private investigator I'd hired to dig into Charlotte's whereabouts for the past few weeks. I learned she always go to this apartment where an old lady resides at. But it was the phone that really caught my attention. The one she claimed she lost at the restaurant where they celebrated their parents' anniversary. I had my doubts, so I asked my assistant to check the restaurant's CCTV footage. And what I found out was that Charlotte didn't even lose her phone there.I felt a pang of disappointment, mixed with curiosity. What was she hiding? And why?I decided to dig deeper, to see if I could find any leads on where she might have actually lost the phone. I asked my

  • Mafia King's Substitute Wife   CHAPTER 59: QUESTIONS

    I woke up to an empty bed, the sheets beside me cold and rumpled. I sat up, rubbing my eyes, and looked around the room. No sign of Sylus. I wondered where he could be. I got out of bed and quickly got dressed, deciding to grab some breakfast downstairs. Maybe Sylus was waiting for me in the dining hall. As I walked into the hotel's dining hall, I spotted Sylus sitting at a table by the window, talking to someone on his phone. He glanced up, saw me, and his expression turned cold. He looked away, focusing back on his conversation. I felt a pang of confusion. What was wrong? I walked over to the buffet, grabbing some pastries and coffee, trying to look nonchalant. As I made my way to the table, Sylus ended his call and looked up at me. His eyes were guarded, and he didn't smile like he usually did. "Morning," I said, trying to sound cheerful as I sat down across from him. Sylus nodded, his expression neutral. "Morning." The tension was palpable, and I didn't like it. What

  • Mafia King's Substitute Wife   CHAPTER 58: MADRID

    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 stories about the city's history. I listened intently, fascinated by the rich culture and heritage of Madrid.We strolled through the Plaza Mayor, admiring the stunning architecture and vibrant street performers. Sylus pulled me close, his arm around my waist, as we watched a group of musicians playing traditional Spanish music.The sound of the guitar and the passionate voices of the singers transported me to a different era. I felt like I was part of the performance, the music swelling up inside me.

  • Mafia King's Substitute Wife   CHAPTER 57: SABOTAGE

    I wore a white formal dress and tied my hair up for my meeting with Mr. Hermano. Sylus smiled at me as soon as I stepped out of our hotel room. "I wouldn't think twice on hurting Mr. Hermano if he ever tries to hit on you because of how fucking hot you look in that dress of yours," he said, looking me up and down. "You always say that." "Because it's the truth, babe. You look good in everything you wear. You look better without wearing anything, though," he whispered, grinning at me. I rolled my eyes at him. "We have to go now. Mr. Hermano must be waiting for us already." Sylus chuckled before he finally opened the car door and guided me inside. *** "Remember not to be so nervous, babe.You're going to crush it with Mr. Hermano," Sylus said to me when we reached the company building. I smiled, trying to play it cool. "Thanks, I'm feeling pretty confident," I said, trying to sound casual. Sylus chuckled, wrapping his arms around me. "I know you are, babe. That's why
