Valerie Thorne’s POV:

Today was going to be a good day.

The sunshine was brightening the cloudy sky. The cold air mixed with sunshine gave me a relaxed feeling. I decided to buy myself some more clothes and some groceries on the way back.

I walked past small shops first, looking at the mannequins dressed in different beautiful outfits. I stopped at one store and looked at my reflection in the glass. My hair was slightly messy from the wind, and my cheeks were flushed due to the sunshine hitting

  • Mafia's Forbidden Desires   Sir, there is a problem

    Raven Blackwood’s POV:“Sir, there is a problem,” Eliot’s voice came through the speaker as soon as I picked up the call.“What happened?” I asked, keeping my voice low, as I watched Valerie take a seat by the pool.“It’s about Elvis. He is at the bar. He doesn’t look right to me,” Eliot’s troubled voice came.“Fine. Keep your eyes on him,” I said and ended the call.“Wife,” I walked to Valerie, “I have some urgent work to complete. Don’t stay out for long.”She nodded, “Okay.”I smiled and kissed her, then walked away.After half an hour, I arrived at the bar, where Eliot and Jeremy were already waiting for me. “What’s going on?”“He is acting weird again. You should see him for yourself,” Jeremy said.I looked at Eliot with furrowed brows. He nodded in agreement with Jeremy's statement.I walked inside through the private entrance with Eliot and Jeremy following after me.Inside the bar, the environment was completely off. The lights were dim, and the air was filled with the smell o

  • Mafia's Forbidden Desires    I would assume you’re in love with me

    “Yes, Wife?” He asked calmly.“I don’t like anything you’re doing. Either you stop doing it, or I will run to another country, and I will make sure you won’t ever be able to find me again,” I threatened. I seriously felt suffocated by everything he was doing, and this couldn't just go on.“Fine,” He relented a while later, “Tell me what do you want?”“SPACE,” I said, “I can’t tolerate being treated like I need to live in a cage for my safety.”He walked to me and held my face between his palms, “I am sorry. Maybe I overdid this. But baby, my intention is not to trap you. I am just worried.”“Look at me,” I said, taking a step back, “I am all fine. I don’t have any part missing from me. I can walk, talk, see, and hear. My senses are fine, so is my mind.”“I understand,” he nodded, “But…” he paused.“What is it now?” My heart raced as I asked. I hoped it wouldn’t be anything ridiculous now.“I am increasing your security, and Eliot would be your personal assistant from now on,” He conti

  • Mafia's Forbidden Desires   Getting things arranged

    I walked to the bookshelf first and started looking through each book and file there. Slowly, I looked through everything I could see, but I found nothing there, which was a good thing. I sighed in relief.After the bookshelf, I moved to the table, paintings, cabinets, and then everything. Everything was clean, and I found no such tapping device anywhere. Perhaps, there was only one tapping device in this office. What about the rest of the office? What if there was something planted outside this office, too?My mind was running wild. Taking a moment of pause, I walked out.Outside the office, I looked at my people working as usual. They moved around with their purpose. No one paid attention to me, if someone did, they just nodded at me in greeting before they walked away with their work.From the surface, everything looked fine and normal to me, but was everything really fine?Suddenly, I didn’t know who to trust, who not to.The next day, in the afternoon, Raven and I arrived at the

  • Mafia's Forbidden Desires   For God's sake, Raven… this was the twentieth call

    Valerie Thorne’s POV:I woke up before sunrise today. Not because of a bad dream, not because of anything else, but because of a presence I felt.His arm was around my waist, which made me feel hard to breathe. I stayed still for a while, just looking at the ceiling. The room was quiet.I turned my head slightly and looked at him. He looked calm, too calm, like he and violence had no connection with each other. His eyes were closed, they looked less intimidating. His dangerous aura was calm now, and he looked harmless.My fingers traced the curve of his face slowly, from his forehead to his eyes, to his lashes, to his cheeks, to his beard, then slowly over his lips. His skin was smooth under my touch. He stirred a little, making me pull back my hand instantly, but thankfully, he didn’t wake up. I relaxed a little.“You’re up, Wife?” He murmured in a deep voice.“You’re awake?” I was startled.He hummed and pulled me closer to him.“When… When did you wake up?” I asked in hesitation.“

  • Mafia's Forbidden Desires   I don’t think Elvis would betray Madam

    “I… I have no idea,” He shook his head.“You don’t?” I repeated“I really don’t. Lately, he has been too unpredictable.” Nate said in hesitation.I watched Nate for a few seconds. Even if there was something, I knew he wouldn’t talk it out. So, it was pointless to ask him anyway. I turned my head to watch the people dancing on the ground floor. Though my eyes looked at the view, my mind didn’t register anything. My mind played his earlier expression. Axel usually didn’t act this way, not when he was surrounded by enemies, not when he was in trouble, so what was wrong here?Then, suddenly, a name clicked. Hayley Parker!She was the daughter of Tyler. When we met Tyler and his daughter that day on the cruise, Axel seemed pretty interested in her. I thought he was flirty as usual, but now… seeing him like that, could it be related to her? Was he finally serious about her? But, again, something didn’t sit right here. If Axel was interested in her, why would he treat her father like that?

  • Mafia's Forbidden Desires   I am sure you’re joking, Blackwood

    “It could be anyone else who entered your office while you were both absent. And Elvis looked troubled earlier, so… let’s not trouble him further.” Raven tried to reason.I thought about his words for a while before I nodded. “Fine. You can proceed with what you want.” If someone had really bugged this place, then it had to be found out.“Thank you for the trust, Wife.” He said and kissed me on the cheek.“Raven,” I turned my face to the side, “Behave.”“I am behaving,” He leaned back in his chair and looked like the most well-behaved person in this world. And there was no one like him.Raven Blackwood’s POV:Half an hour later, I dropped Valerie off at home as I still had work to complete. I didn’t want to leave her alone, but I was afraid she would be tired if she came with me.I watched Valerie walk inside. When the door was closed, only then did I start the car and drove away.The road to my office was rather empty at this hour. The city looked calm and careless, while everything
