The tension in the air was too heavy to even breathe. My heart was pounding so loud in my chest that, for a moment, I thought it would burst out. Nikolai was also standing straight beside me.

None of them thought that it would turn out like this.

Even after having all the evidence against Marco, we still could not claim our baby. It's just a week that we are together. We are not sure if Leo would choose us above Marco. Because Marco may not have taken care of him, but he is the only person that Leo knows.

The first person whose eyes were caught was Marco. He stood tall, arms open, eyes fixed on the little boy standing at the center of the grand marble hall. Marco was not seeing Leo as a kid with a soft heart, he just saw him as a pawn in his game.

Leo looked even more small and fragile standing between the two big and masculine guards.

“Leo,” Marco called, voice soft but urgent. “Come here, son.”

Marco coaxed as he gestured Leo to move towards him. Leo blinked and looked at him w

  • Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession    136. "Daddy"

    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

  • Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession    135. Feel the pain

    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

  • Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession    133. Let the child decide

    Seven days. It's been a week since we have been fighting not only for leadership but also for the guardianship of our own baby. We have been visiting orphanages every day since then. Leo hasn't called Nikolai's dad yet, but now he is getting along well. He usually waits for our arrival. But the saddest part of the day is when we leave. He doesn't want us to leave him behind. Even for us, every day is like a year. We want him with us but the process is taking time. Marco has also come to know that we are trying to claim Leo. He is creating problems. And now we are here, sitting in the Mafia council, fighting to prove our right over our own baby. Nikolai is sitting beside me with his back straight and spine taut despite the fatigue that's clearly visible in his eyes. He has been working, trying to collect all the evidence for seven days without proper sleep and rest. He has taken all the responsibility and worry on himself, asking me to rest for the sake of our unborn baby

  • Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession    132. Happy little family

    I never wanted my child to be like this. Nikolai knelt down beside us, "Tell me, Leo. What do you want?"Leo's lips parted but no sound came. He hesitated, his gaze dropping to his little fingers fiddling with the edge of his blanket. After a long moment, he whispered so softly that I had to lean in to catch the words.“…Can I have… french fries?”I blinked. “French fries?”I thought he was going to ask for something which we can't instantly provide. He nodded quickly, cheeks slightly pink. “With… a little cheese on top,” he added in a mumble, then looked down again. “They give it here after months… on special occasions.”Nikolai and I shared a look. Our baby has to long for even the basic things while we are enjoying the luxury of our lives. Nikolai blinked and pulled out his phone to place the order. Leo’s eyes lit up when he got to know his french fries were on their way. While we waited for the food, Nikolai and I brought out a small travel board game we had picked up earlier.

  • Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession    131. Real father

    Alessia's POV As soon as we were allowed to meet our baby boy, Leo, we didn't waste a single second in going to him. My heart was pounding in my chest. I already sold the connection with him when I saw him for the first time, and now I cannot control myself anymore. I just want him in my arms. I want to give him all the love that he missed in these years. The Matron opened the door to his room and warm air welcomed us. The scent of disinfectant and crushed cookies reached our senses. My heart sank to the pit of my stomach when my eyes locked on the small figure curled up on the narrow bed, bundled in mismatched blankets. There was only his bed in the small room, indicating he had been left alone in the orphanage. My heart clenched.My head turned to Nikolai who was staring at his baby with mixed expressions. He has sympathy for him, and at the same time, there is guilt for not providing the kind of life he deserves. Our baby definitely deserves more than this. The monster has
