Carmine’s POV

Every time I remember how Sylus saw my naked body inside my room, I can’t help but be furious and embarrassed at the same time.

Why the hell did he even enter that room without even knocking first or making sure I was wearing anything? Damn him.

I never even had any boyfriend before. I can’t believe a stranger like him would be the first one to see me bare naked like that.

Every single day I am in their house, something awful happens. What sickens me even more is the fact that every single day Sylus seems to discover more about me instead of me discovering more about him.

I wasn’t talking while we were having our breakfast and Sylus probably notices that, so he suddenly spoke.

“Later, we’re going to meet with your friends, especially your best friend Monica. She just arrived last night from England.”

“M-My best friend?”

“Yes. She’s been your best friend even before we met each other. She went to England last year to marry her boyfriend.”

I nodded my head, “O-Okay.”

    As soon as Sylus hang up the phone, I let out a deep sigh. I wasn't able to focus on our conversation because I kept on thinking about what Luke told me a while ago. Based on those words that he said, it seems like...It seems lime he actually knows about my secret--about me pretending to be his sister."Charlotte, can you help me out?" I got surprised when he suddenly appeared in front of me."H-Huh? Sure."I followed behind him as he started walking. I could still feel my heart beating so fast, wondering if he would actually tell me that he knows about my real identity. "Actually, I need help with something a bit...unconventional. One of our patients is an elderly woman who's been getting a bit agitated, and we need someone to help calm her down. She's been trying to remove her IV and walk around, but it's not safe for her," Luke said as we both keep on walking.I nodded, feeling a surge of empathy. "Poor thing. Why is she like that?"Luke's expression turned serious. "She's a deme

    "Mommy, are you feeling better now?" Natalia asked me while we were having our breakfast. I nodded my head as I smiled, "Yes, baby. Mommy feels so much better now." "We were so worried about you yesterday, mommy. Good thing daddy was there to take care of you." "You are right. Good thing your dad was there to take care of me. That is why I feel so much better now," I said, then I glanced at Sylus who was sitting across from mine. "Of course, I will take care of you. And I will never let something to the two of you. You guys are the most precious thing I have in the world." Sylus didn't really go to his work yesterday just so he could take care of me. I told him to just leave me and go to work, but he just won't listen to me. "By the way, Sylus. Can I go to Luke's clinic later? He texted me the other day and asked me if I could help him out with his patients if I have time." "Huh? Sure. For sure your brother just misses you. He is usually like that whenever he wants to

    I woke up to the sound of coughing, my throat sore and my body aching. I tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over me, forcing me to collapse back onto the pillow. I was feeling really sick yesteday, maybe this is the result of me overworking and not deciding to take some rest yesterday. I was about to sit up again, but then the door of our bedroom went open. Sylus appeared, already wearing his suit. "Good morning, babe," he greeted me with a smile on his face. "G-Good morning," I replied, my voice a bit hoarse. Sylus' brows furrowed as he started walking towards. "Are you alright, babe? You don't look fine." "H-Huh? No, I'm fine. Maybe I just need to take some rest and I'll be okay." He let out a sigh as he placed a hand on my forehead, "You've got a fever, babe." I tried to protest, but Sylus waved me off. "Don't try to get up. I'll take care of everything." "But Sylus, you still have to-- "Wait for me here, I will bring you medicine," he said as he walked out

    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 the door. She immediately met my gaze, her expression unreadable. "Why do you look unhappy going here? Aren't you happy to spend your lunch with your husband?" I asked her. "H-Huh?" I smiled as I stood up. "What do you want to have for lunch? Shall we go outside?" She looked surprised, but she immediately nodded her head. "Y-Yeah, sure. Let's just go outside." "Alright. If that is what my beautiful wife wants." As we walked outside, I put my hand around her waist, pulling her close to me as we began walking, causing my employees to look at us. "S-Sylus, I-I don't think this is appropriate," Charlotte suddenly whispered, looking at my employees. "What's inappropriate?" "Y-Yo

  • 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 something beautiful. His strong jawline was relaxed, and his eyebrows were smoothed out, giving him a look of vulnerability. Then I remembered about what happened last night and the words that he said to me. He told me that he is falling in love with the new Charlotte. I wonder if that means he is falling in love with me. He said those words as if he knew that I was just pretending to be his wife. I stared at his face once more, trying to remember every single detail of his vulnerability even for once. You can't fall in love with me, Sylus. I am your enemy. "Staring at me while I am sleeping, huh? Do you find me that handsome?" My eyes widened when his eyes suddenly went open

    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, babe?" he suddenly whispered. I nodded, trying to play it cool. "Y-Yeah, I'm fine." He chuckled. "Good, because we're not even halfway around the room yet." He continued walking, and I couldn't help but notice how strong and warm his back was. I felt a flutter in my chest. As we approached the window, Sylus slowed down, his hands on my legs tightening. "Look outside, babe," he whispered, his voice low and husky. I looked out the window, and the city lights sparkled below us. For a moment, I forgot about everything, lost in the beauty of of the view and the warmth of Sylus' body. But then, he leaned in, his lips brushing against my ear. "You're so beautiful, babe," he suddenly whi
