I took a closer step. She looked at me with her parted lips. I didn’t stop and continued walking. Valerie swallowed her breath, I saw, and she took a step back. More back steps, until her back hit the wall. My eyes locked with hers. “You say that now. But your eyes tell me a different story, Sweetheart.”

She raised her hands and shoved me hard. “You don’t know me.”

I didn’t budge from my place, but caught her wrist before she could hit me again. My grip was tight, but not painful. “I know you better than you think.”

Her breathing turned fast, and her face turned red from anger. She trembled as she tried to shake my grip. “Let go.”

I watched her face for a couple of seconds before I let it go silently.

She didn’t wait for me to say a word before she walked into the room, slammed the door in my face, hard, and locked it from inside.

I smiled faintly in amusement. She was still fighting with her fire. I leaned my head against the door for a second and murmured, “Sleep well, Valerie. One

    But nothing came to mind, no matter how much I tried to think about it. I picked up my phone and called Eliot to my office.Eliot came into my office a short while later. He had something in his hand. I asked curiously, “What is this?”“Oh, Madam sent you this,” Eliot handed me the box.I took it from his hand, and it looked suspicious. I wonder what my wife sent me. I opened it and saw that it had some jewels inside. Why would Valerie send me jewels?“Are you sure, Valerie sent them?” I looked up at Eliot and asked.“No…” Eliot shook his head. “Elder Madam sent this.”I nodded and handed the box back to Eliot. I didn’t need anything from them again. I had already cut off my ties with them since I took over the Blackwood empire. And no, I wasn’t given it in the glorious form, and I was the ungrateful brat. It had debt, and it was on the verge of collapsing. Enemies were everywhere. I took over it, I handled everything, and brought it to heights where I was the king and no enemy could

  • Mafia's Forbidden Desires   Whoever is behind this is not playing by the usual rules

    A few days later:I tapped my fingers against my chin, and my other hand rested casually on the desk. I looked at the man, who was also my best friend, but currently, his brain had stopped working, so here he was, taking my help. I asked slowly, “Do you know Vincent Moretti?”Rowan’s jaw tightened, and he looked at me like I had asked something hilarious, “Who doesn’t?”I nodded calmly and asked another question, trying to remind him of the key details he was forgetting, “And his son?” I could clearly see the storm brewing in his eyes. His patience was clearly wearing thin, and frustration was visible all over his face. He spoke through gritted teeth, “Raven Blackwood, get to the fucking point!”I raised my brows but remained unfazed. He still wasn’t understanding what I was trying to convey to him. I wondered, since when had he lost his intelligence? Truly, love makes people dumb! Taking a deep breath, I continued, “I am getting to the point. You see, his son recently got married to

  • Mafia's Forbidden Desires   You think you can fool me twice, Blackwood!

    “Yes,” The reply came almost instantly.I wondered if he was too free now to give replies instantly. I quickly typed another text, “I got a deal.”“You think you can fool me twice, Blackwood!”I couldn’t help but roll my eyes as I stared at his reply for a couple of seconds. Damn it. I silently cursed. Bad thing, I fooled him before. Good thing, I still had the advantage over him. I knew by returning her, my Wife would be angry at me, but I had no choice. At least that idiot loved her, so, even if he would make things difficult for her, he wouldn’t harm her. I could reassure my Wife about it.“It won’t happen again. Last time was an emergency,” I replied.“Only an idiot would believe you, BLACKWOOD!”I looked at his message. He even highlighted my last name in capitals. I felt like I was talking to someone who was not very intelligent. I typed another text. “You don’t want her. Fine.”I put my phone on the table and sat in the chair, watching the night sky. On the table, my phone bu

  • Mafia's Forbidden Desires   Don't even think about it

    “Start by tomorrow night. I want quick results.” I ordered.“Don’t worry. This is what I am best at!”I nodded, my eyes turning to look at my wife, who was looking furiously at the man dressed in a grey shirt, black pants. My eyes dimmed, and a wave of storm rushed into my mind. I turned to stand up immediately and walked to her side, but before I had taken my second step, Posh spoke up, stopping me in my tracks, “Sit back.”“What does that mean?” I turned to him, though my eyes remained on my Wife.“You stay here. I will bring your girl here.” He said.I frowned, and in no time, he stood up and walked towards my wife and the man in grey. My hands clenched into a fist. Who was he to rescue my wife and be the hero? She was my wife! Mine!Blood rushed to my brain, and he looked at me, signalling not to act as he laughed with the man in grey. The fucking audacity! My eyes narrowed as I glared at him to stop whatever fucking game he was at.He smiled and excused the man before he walked b

  • Mafia's Forbidden Desires   Whatever my Wife says

    “Did someone come here?” She asked. Her voice sounded calm, but there was an edge to it. The way she asked meant she knew it already. There was no point in hiding it from her, especially when she had the right to own and know every part of my life.I nodded. “You know Alaric Vance?”“Alaric Vance?” She murmured the name as she tried to recall it in her memory. After a quiet moment, she nodded her head, “I think I do.”I watched her in silence, letting her take her sweet time to run through her mind. She looked at me with wide eyes and asked, “He controls this region of Cornwall, if I am not wrong?”“You’re right, Wife,” I was pleased with her intelligence.She continued, “Elvis mentioned him. He said there are two people you shouldn’t mess with in England. One was Alaric Vance, and the other was…”She paused in between, looking around as if walls could hear and react if they heard the other name. I prompted her a little, “The other one was??”“MAX… He said Nox Knight,” She said in a

    “Alright. I will come to the point,” he said, lifting his head slowly, his fingers brushed against the brim of his hat as he raised it and revealed his face. He had a sharp jawline, a clean and styled beard, and his eyes were dark, like the abyss of hell.He smiled faintly, but it didn’t reach his eyes. He began, “My name is Jaxon Hale.” He paused, looking at my face, more like he was trying to read my mind. But his bad, he wouldn’t get anything from it. He continued, like I didn’t read his intentions, “I serve as the right hand of Mr. Alaric Vance, the man who controls this region of Cornwall.”Alaric Vance, huh? This name felt familiar. I heard it somewhere before. Thinking about him, I remembered he was one of those men, people talked secretly about, but never approached. He was more like a ghost who ruled through others. His presence was never seen but always felt.I leaned back slightly against the pillow, “And what business does Vance’s right hand have with me?”Jaxon took a ste
