I gradually woke up to the chirping of the birds and the sharp glare of the sunlight. I opened my eyes slowly and blinked several times to clear my vision.

In those moments, I prayed that last night had been a bad dream; that the forced proximity, the suffocating warmth of his embrace, the way his lips claimed mine, and my body's betrayal were all a story created by my mind. But, the scent of his cologne wrapped around me told me otherwise.

I tossed my head to the side once my vision cleared, only to find that the bed was empty.

Nikolai was gone.

A sigh of relief escaped my lips. Sitting up, I rubbed my eyes. I was still in the black gown I had worn last night. It slipped down my shoulders, reminding me of how he had ruined my plan and pulled out the knife as if he already knew what I could do.

Although I was relieved that I didn't wake up tangled in his arms—otherwise, he would have left me no opportunity to tease me. But a part of me was furious as well. He could disappear when

  • Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession    Epilogue

    The reflection that I saw in the mirror was completely different. I could barely recognise myself. It was not because of the delicate lace gown that I was wearing but because after so long I looked at peace. The happiness was shining in my eyes and there was a natural glow on my cheeks. And this all became possible because of Nikolai. He has given me so much love that I forgot all my past and pain. My family has become my life and I am looking forward to spending my entire life with time. A soft knock broke my chain of thoughts and a wide smile spread on my lips when I saw my little Leo, came inside dressed in tuxedo with a crooked bowtie. The nanny was holding our little Sera who looked like a flower sprout wrapped in white tulle. Because of the marriage preparation it was getting tough for us to look after both the kids, so we hired a nanny for a month. "Wow, mumma!" He exclaimed walking to me "You’re looking so beautiful.” I chuckled and sat his hair. "And you are looking h

    “Push, Alessia. One more. You’re almost there.”The doctor’s voice sounded far away like it was coming from underwater. My vision was blurry, and my breath was shallow and rapid, but the desire to give birth to my child was more than anything. I wanted to hold it, cherish it, and pour all the love. “Come on,"Everything hurt. Every part of me burned. Sweat clung to my forehead, and my body trembled with the effort. I could feel my heart pounding louder than anything else. Right now, I wanted Nikolai by my side, but I knew he was looking after Leo. “Now. Push!” the doctor commanded once again. I pushed with everything I had.A scream passed my throat which echoed in the whole room. My scream was followed by a silence which was broken with a sound within a split second. The tiny, sharp wail of a newborn cried out into the world and I felt my entire body go still.Time stopped for me. I collapsed back onto the bed, tears streamed down the corner of my eyes and I didn't even try to s

    Six months, it's been six months since we brought Leo home. He is now comfortable and has also accepted Nikolai as his father. A smile spread on my lips as I looked down and caressed my fully grown belly. Last time we visited the clinic, the doctor told us that babies can arrive anytime. The sun was soft this afternoon, just warm enough to wrap around us like a comforter. Leo wanted to go out, but given my condition Nikolai didn't think it right and they were not ready to hang out without me so Nikolai turned our garden into a picnic area. The tall trees swayed gently, casting dancing shadows over the grass, and a breeze carried the scent of freshly cut lemons from the orchard.I sat on the mat, legs stretched out, surrounded by a bowl of sliced fruits, juice bottles, and a mess of Leo’s toys that refused to stay in one corner. Leo's giggles caught my attention. He was running across the garden, chasing our scruffy street dog, whom he had named "Biscuit" after refusing every fancy

    Alessia’s POVThe house was quiet when I stepped in with Leo beside me, curling his tiny fingers around my palm. His tiny innocent eyes were wide as he looked around the place that's now his home. He was completely awestruck. "Will I stay here?" He asked innocently I gave him a soft smile and nodded my head. "This is so huge!" He exclaimedI chuckled. My innocent baby. I can't wait to see him running around and filling this empty place with his innocent voice. Holding his hand tightly, I took him to our room, which was going to be his as well. He was amazed looking at the room as well. I sat him on the bed and began unbuttoning his tiny shirt, stained from the chocolate bar. "How did you get this?" I asked. "A guard gave it to me when I was with him earlier," he said in broken words. I smiled. A man looks hard only from the outside, but from the inside, they also have a soft heart. “Yucky shirt,” he mumbled, scrunching his nose.I smiled. “Yes, it’s messy. Let’s get you in

    Alessia’s POV“No.”All eyes turned sharply to Nikolai.His voice was calm and dangerous. His eyes held cold fury as he looked at all. Vecari narrowed his eyes. “Mr. Moretti—”“No,” Nikolai repeated, gaze fixed ahead. “You don’t get to punish him. This is not just a betrayal of the council. This is personal. He didn’t just betray our code—he betrayed my family. He tried to kill me. He left an innocent child in an orphanage. He made my wife cry herself to sleep while carrying our unborn child. He kept her starving when she needed food to survive." I sucked in a quiet breath, as my heart trembled in my chest. “He tried to rip apart everything I fought to protect. Everything I bled for. And for that—his punishment is mine to give.”Some council members looked uneasy, others intrigued. But none dared to interrupt Nikolai. Marco's eyes were now wide with horror. He was visibly trembling. I am sure he could see his death in Nikolai's eyes. Another council member stood up, "And what woul
