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

  • Mafia's Forbidden Desires   Elara told me about you and Robin

    “Elara told me about you and Robin,” I said slowly, keeping my tone as neutral as possible.His eyes turned cold instantly, and his hand paused in mid-air.My nails dug into my palm at his cold reaction. The air around me felt thick and suffocating. I wonder if I made a mistake by asking him about his? He didn’t answer for seconds, then minutes passed like that. I was about to say something, or change the topic, when he smiled. He smiled warmly, “It’s just how business competitors work, Val. You shouldn’t be concerned about such matters.”I shook my head to speak, but he continued, “And I have told Elara about it as well. But she wouldn’t listen to anything. So, I hope you can put some sense into her.”“Is that so?” I met his gaze calmly, though I felt a storm in my mind.“What else?” He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. “What’s going on with your life?” He asked, changing the topic back to me, “Where is your protective husband?”“He is out of the country,” I answered.“And he let

  • Mafia's Forbidden Desires   Anything on your mind?

    When we reached Stardust Resort, I saw it was empty. Too empty for anyone to be there. Was it closed today? I frowned and glanced at Eliot in question. “What’s going on? Is it closed today?”He shook his head with a smile, “No, Madam. Sir booked it for you.”I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. Raven and his ways were always too much. For example, now what was needed was even to book the entire resort. I had already guards with me. Thinking of guards, don’t tell me he had also filled the perimeters with guards as well.I took my phone out and immediately sent him a message, “Why?”His reply came quickly in two seconds, like he was just waiting for my message. He had replied with only one word, “Convenience.”Taking a deep breath, I typed another message, “Don’t tell me there are more guards too!”One second passed before I got his reply: “Anything for my beautiful Wife.”Blush crept over my cheeks as I tried to remain normal. Raven didn’t flirt usually. When he did, it was present in his

  • Mafia's Forbidden Desires   And Reign?

    But how could it be?It was a lot to take in. I glanced around. The people around us were drunk. With thoughts of Reign at the back of my head, I knew I had to leave quickly. But I couldn’t leave Elara behind here alone like that. I stood up with a firm decision, “I will find out about it.”“You would?” Her eyes brightened as she listened to my words.“I will,” I nodded. “To find quickly, we need to leave from here first.”“Okay,” She stood up instantly.I sighed. I thought it would be difficult to take her out of here, but thanks to heavens, she was convinced easily. Due to the alcohol effect, her body swayed lightly. I supported her body against mine as I got her out of the bar.Fifteen minutes later…When I arrived at home, I saw Eliot holding Reign in his hands, pacing back and forth in the hallway. “Is she awake?” I asked, walking towards him.“No, Madam. She was about to, but then I picked her up, which made her sleep again,” He answered.I nodded and took Reign from his arms. W

  • Mafia's Forbidden Desires   Did you talk to each of them?

    Valerie Thorne’s POV:Finally, I talked to him. Relief filled my heart the moment he was right in front of my eyes. We didn’t talk for long, but it was enough.I glanced at Reign, who was finally asleep after playing for hours.It was past midnight when my phone rang urgently with new messages. I frowned as I picked up my phone. I saw the screen and saw that it was the messages from Elara. I didn’t wait for another second before I opened her messages.Elara: I need help.Elara: It’s urgent.Elara: Babe, see the damn messages.Elara: Where are you, Val?Elara: Call me ASAP!Elara: Hello…Elara: I need to talk.Elara: There is an emergency.The more I read her message, the deeper my frown was. Immediately, I dialed her number. The bell had only rung for one second when she picked it up. Her voice came out even more urgent than it had on her message, “Val, where were you?”“Home?” I answered, trying to sound calm, though I wasn’t, “What’s wrong?”“I need your help,” She said.“What happe

  • Mafia's Forbidden Desires   Sir, Madam was worried about you

    “Yes,” Jeremy answered, “Roy did.”I nodded, “Do as usual.”Jeremy nodded and turned to call Roy for further instructions. Meanwhile, I entered the backseat and pulled out my phone to call My Wife. As I glanced at the screen, I frowned. There was no network here.Did Nikos seriously put jammers here? I sighed. Looking at Jeremy in gestured to him to drive, and leaned back in my seat.It was already morning outside. My thoughts were filled with Valerie and Reign. I wonder how they were? And what were they doing? Although I had let Eliot handle the things back at home, I still couldn’t help but worry. I had to end the threat as soon as possible and go back to my family.Half an hour later, we arrived at our hotel. The first thing I did after reaching my suite was to video call Valerie.The bell had only rung for barely two seconds before she picked it up, and her exhausted face came into my view. What was wrong with her? I immediately straightened my back. This was not how I left her be

  • Mafia's Forbidden Desires   i don't waste time

    I watched Adonis as he stepped out of the ring. The crowd was still loud and wild, but my focus stayed on the fighter, more… on the system behind them. I spoke calmly a second later, “He is efficient.”Nikos smirked, but I could see he wanted to say more, “Only efficient?”“He didn’t waste time doing unnecessary moves just for show,” I added, “That makes him valuable.”He looked satisfied, “Exactly. Strength is common. Control is rare.”Jeremy shifted a little behind me. He kept his alert position as he watched ahead. Even if I wasn’t looking at him, I knew he had memorised the face of each man present here, along with their weapons and exits he could see.Nikos noticed Jeremy’s alert eyes, “You don’t trust easily.”“I don’t survive otherwise,” I replied calmly.He laughed lightly but nodded, “Fair enough.”For a moment, the air went still around us, even though the noise in the room rose. We watched next fighters began circling each other. Then Nikos leaned closer, “What really broug

    “Interesting,” Nolan chuckled, “are you not scared I will shoot you in a second?” His gaze shifted from me to Max to back to me.“Just try,” I said, seriously.Nolan shifted slightly in his seat, his grip tightened on his gun. The air around us thickened. Silence wrapped around us, and for a moment

    Her words echoed in my mind for a long time. I kept my arm around her shoulder, feeling the warmth of her body against mine. Another moment later, I asked quietly, “What kind of dreams?”She turned her face slightly towards me. “Simple ones. I want to see places, different cultures, and live freely

He sat in front of me, sounding so true. But no matter how much I tried to remember what happened that night, who it was, I couldn’t remembe

    The process felt rather slow as the doctor worked on removing the bullet from my back. After he had bandaged and cleaned the blood from my body, I stood up, “Can I see her already?”He nodded. I didn’t wait further and walked out. Walking out felt difficult, but I had handled worse.Soon, I reached
