Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession 62. Am I pregnant?
What in the world? No! This can’t be happening. My heart dropped to the pit of my stomach. I can't breathe, blink, or move. I stared at Nikolai, but he didn’t seem to notice my internal panic. His expression remained unreadable, but I could feel his gaze studying me. I quickly averted my eyes before he could read me. I forced myself to breathe; my chest heaved up and down heavily. My mind was spinning—completely blank one second and then flooded with so many thoughts the next. My hands trembled as I pressed them against my stomach. If I was… if I was pregnant… Then what? What would I do? A shiver ran down my spine. I wanted to scream and cry, shake myself and wake up from this nightmare. This can't be happening! This CAN'T be happening! Nikolai grabbed my shoulder and shook me slightly, bringing me back to my senses. “Alessia, what happened?” My head snapped to him, and I found concern written all over his face. “I have been calling you for so long, but you a

My heart started pounding in my chest as Nikolai drove toward our destination. My mind was busy thinking of ways to deceive the mafia king and get what I wanted. I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but I had no other option. Even if he wasn't home, I would have to find a way to get my hands on a pregnancy kit. Suddenly, fresh air hit my face as Nikolai rolled down the window. I frowned and turned my head to Nikolai, finding his attention on the road. "Fresh air," he reminded me. "That’s what you wanted, right?" I slowly nodded and shifted my attention back to the road. The air carried the scent of damp earth. The ride was quiet, but my mind was filled with many thoughts. "Hope it’s doing you some good!" Nikolai asked all of a sudden. I nodded again without turning to look at him. Nikolai had always stayed one step ahead of me. In the past, he had always figured out what I was planning. I just hoped he wasn't already suspicious. My body leans forward when he braked in front o

My heart leaped into my throat when Nikolai insisted on checking the bag. Of course, I didn’t want to give it to him. His eyes were too sharp—he would catch on instantly. If he found the test, everything would be over before I had even gotten the chance to know the truth myself. I swallowed, gripping the bag tighter. "Alessia, don’t test my patience and just hand over the bag to me." And before I could move, suddenly we heard a loud honk from behind. It startled me, and Nikolai let out a frustrated sigh. Thank God. And thank you to whoever was behind us. Nikolai just shook his head and started the engine. I let out a breath of relief. The journey home was silent, but I knew a lot was going on in Nikolai’s head. As soon as he pulled up in front of the house, I was out of the car before he even cut the engine. I had to act fast. I knew Nikolai would bring up the bag again, especially after my blatant protest. The moment he parked the car in the garage, I reached into the bag, p

Why today? Why, out of all the days, did Nikolai decide to work from home today? It seems like today is not my day. After so much difficulty, I was able to secure an appointment with a gynecologist today. And today, he had to park himself in the same room as me, making it impossible for me to sneak out. I clenched my jaw as I watched him lounging comfortably on the couch, laptop perched on his lap. He normally works from his study, but today, he has to be by my side all the time. Sometimes, it feels like he actually has the power to read minds. Whenever I plan something, he is always there to ruin it. I have been waiting for him to step out of the room since morning, but he hasn't moved from his place. Sigh. I tapped my foot impatiently, glancing at the clock for what felt like the hundredth time. My appointment was in less than an hour, and I had to get out oftheree. "What happened?" Nikolai's deep voice snapped me out of my trance. You happened. "Is everything al

Terminate the pregnancy? My fingers curled around the arms of the chair as my head spun like a wheel. No! My heart broke in my chest, and a strangled gasp escaped my throat. I can't lose my baby again. I can't! I shook my head as my heart pounded violently in my chest. "You're saying I might lose my baby?" My voice shook. She clasped her hands together on the desk and let out a deep sigh. Her silence was killing me. "Don't panic, Alessia. This isn’t a definite outcome, but it’s a very real possibility." I could barely feel my own body, as if the air had been sucked out of the room. "Right now," she continued, "your body is rejecting the pregnancy." Rejecting? "It seems like you are under a lot of stress. It's not only harming you, but the baby as well!" She leaned forward. "If something doesn’t change, you may have no choice." My arms instinctively wrapped around my stomach. This baby was the only thing I had. It had come as a hope for me to live my lif

I woke up to soft cries. I blinked multiple times to clear my vision and found myself sitting in a dimly lit room. The only source of light was the lamp at the bedside. My arms felt too heavy to move and turn on the lights. The cries intensified, so I slowly turned onto my side. My breath hitched in my throat when I saw a small form lying beside me, throwing his tiny hands and legs in the air. A baby. My baby. Looking at a small part of me, my body filled with new energy. I immediately sat up and turned on the lights. He stopped crying for a second as his lips parted, but then he started crying again. I scooped him into my arms and brought him close to my chest. I placed a kiss on his tiny forehead. One of his tiny fists was curled against his chest while the other reached for a strand of my hair. He felt so soft against me. My breath hitched as I ran a trembling finger along his chubby cheek. Slowly, he stopped crying and made a soft baby sound before nuzzling closer to me.

The air in the bathroom suddenly became suffocating as he whispered those words in my ear. I wanted to push him away, but I couldn't because my arms were already wrapped around my body. Exposing myself to his hungry eyes was like adding fuel to the fire. One of his hands moved up my spine, igniting a trail of shivers. I clenched my fists tighter, keeping myself firm. I couldn't melt in his arms. Now, I am not alone; a life is growing inside me that is completely dependent on me. I can't risk its life for a few moments of pleasure. "I told you to leave," I whispered, though my voice lacked its usual bite. Nikolai chuckled in response. "But your trembling body against me conveys something different." I clenched my jaw tightly and tried to hold myself together when his fingertips trailed up my arm in a slow and torturous manner. "It's you who is playing with it," I breathed out. "Stay away from me, Nikolai! This isn't right," I stated. His grip on my waist tightened as his eyes

My heart shot to my throat the moment I felt him position himself behind me. His hand stroked himself slowly, as if preparing to claim what he believed was already his. My eyes widened, and every nerve in my body lit up with urgency. I panicked. I needed to do something to stop him before it went too far. I didn’t want to regret this for life. An idea came to my mind, and I acted before I could even second-guess myself. I was not sure if it would work, but I knew I needed to stop Nikolai, right here and now. I took a shaky breath, and just as he was about to push forward, I immediately removed my hands from the wall and stood straight, just in time. "What?" he barked, clearly irritated. His voice was rough with frustration and hunger. He was just about to have what he wanted, but it slipped away from his fingers a second before. I immediately turned around to face him. His eyebrows were knitted together, his jaw was tight, and his damp hair stuck to his forehead. He looked

Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession 112. Baby isn't fine
I woke up to the chirping of the birds. The warm sunlight penetrating the room through the curtains kissed my skin. I could feel its warmth all over my body as I turned onto my side. But that warmth was not enough. I wanted Nikolai's warmth, his presence, his scent, his embrace. My eyes were still closed, but a wide smile stretched across my lips when I thought about last night. It felt like a dream to me, a completely unexpected surprise. I truly thought that I had lost Nikolai. But he survived and came back for me, for us. My chest fluttered as I remembered the way he had held me, kissed me, and cooked for me. Slowly, I opened my eyes; my hands began searching for him, but all I felt was cold sheets. My smile faded almost instantly. My eyes shot open, and my heart started pounding in my throat. The space beside me was cold and empty. A shiver ran down my spine. No. No. No. Don't tell me that last night was a dream. The color drained from my face as I sat up and looked aroun
Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession 111. I am with you
At first, I was completely taken aback when he slammed his lips against mine. I wasn't prepared for it.Not at this moment. He always does things unexpectedly. But this ...The desperation with which he kissed me took my breath away. It wasn't soft or gentle, it was raw, fiery, and filled with a thousand unspoken emotions. When my brain realized what exactly he was doing, my fingers curled into his shirt on their own. The force of the kiss made me stumble back, but he was quick to wrap his arms tighter around me, pulling me so close to him as if terrified I’d disappear again.His heart hammered with equal intensity under my palms. He was feeling the same as I. Unable to hold my emotions any longer, I responded to the kiss with equal hunger, pouring into it all the longing, guilt, and pain I had carried in his absence. His mouth moved against mine like a man starved—devouring, exploring, reclaiming.It had been so long…Too long.One of his hands slid down my back while mine mov

"You—were you really there?" I asked in complete surprise. He softly nodded, his lips stretching into a wider smile. "Why didn't you come to me earlier, Nick? Why?" I demanded, clutching his shirt tightly. I would have actually been happy if I had known he was there. All the time, I had the feeling that Nikolai was with me, yet I still felt hollow inside. "Say something, Nick!" He chuckled softly before cupping my face once again, holding me as if I were fragile and priceless at the same time. "Because there, you weren’t just fighting, Alessia. You were shining.” He paused, brushing his thumb over my cheek and catching the fresh tear that slipped out. “I didn’t want to steal your moment,” he added, smiling tenderly. “But… it was I who clapped for you first.” I shook my head; he was impossible. "And what—what about in the hospital? Why did they declare you dead?" I breathed. "A nurse told me that your uncle took you and..." He closed his eyes for a moment, indicat
Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession 109. Emotional Breakdown
The moment the intruder's face came into the light, the gun wobbled in my grip before slipping from my hands with a loud clatter. My breath hitched in my throat. Everything seemed to cease in those moments. My heart pounded so hard that it was deafening. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't blink. I was afraid he might disappear from my sight if I blinked. Am I being delusional or what? Because right in front of me stood Nikolai. My Nick. My mind refused to accept what my eyes were showing me. The doctor told me he had died and had already been buried, that I lost him forever, that he would never come back again, but he was standing right here, right in front of me, tall and very much alive. But he looked very weak. His eyes were tired and sunken. Yet they lit up the moment they caught my gaze in the darkness. Both of us were frozen in our places. "Nick," I whispered to myself. It was such a low murmur that I was sure he didn't hear it, but maybe he heard the voice o
Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession 108. Missing him
The applause that followed my crowning ceremony was deafening. It should have made my heart swell with pride, but it didn’t. I couldn't immerse myself completely in happiness because something was missing. It wasn't just anything; it was the biggest part of my life. Nikolai. This place was and is rightly his. I am merely filling his space to prevent the throne from falling into the wrong hands. I was strong all this time, but I am unsure how I will rule this Empire alone. Drawing a deep breath, I stepped down from the stage with slow and steady steps, ensuring that I kept my chin high to prevent the crown from falling. It is not just a crown; it is a heavy responsibility that rests on my head. People bowed before me, and a few came forward to congratulate me with warm words. "Congratulations, La Regina,” they said. “You’ve made history.” I mumbled a small thank you with a soft smile on my lips. I could see that a few of them were faking their smiles. Of course, not everyone ca

“This is mine!” Marco roared, pointing to the throne behind us “I built this! I cleaned the blood! I earned every piece of this empire while you were out living in your bubble!”“You stole what was never yours to begin with,” I said, in a low but steady voice. “You manipulated the system, lied to the council, and betrayed your own bloodline. The only thing you’ve earned is a disgrace.” I spat venomously. He opened his mouth to say something, but before he could, I cut him off. "Nikolai transferred his property in my name with the hope that I will raise our child and give him everything he deserves. I can not let anyone snatch my baby's right" I stated. Silence spread in the hall, and Marco broke. “You think you can fool everyone with that belly and a couple of forged papers?” he spat. “You don’t know anything about ruling an empire, Alessia. You’re just a spoiled little brat and we are not even sure if you are carrying Nikolai's blood!”Unable to stop myself anymore, I slapped him

“My birth certificate, my documents, and even DNA tests, if you want,” I said coolly. “All prove I was born of the legal wife of Mr. Rossi. I am the only legitimate heir; Marco is...” “Enough!” Mr. Rossi roared as I started opening his cards one by one, cutting me off mid-sentence. The dirty secrets he has been hiding from everyone for so long are now being exposed, and he just can't stand it. I have always considered Marco my real brother because he never let me feel otherwise, but only we family members know the truth. He was not my mother's son. He was the result of my father's betrayal. "I haven't even started, Dad," I said, infusing the word with honey-dripped venom. “What are you implying?” one of the council members asked, frowning. “How could you make such a serious accusation against your own father and brother?” “Whose father? Which brother?” I asked sharply, turning to the man with fire in my eyes. “They both died for me the day they tried to kill me.” The hall
Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession 105. Illegitimate heir
"NO" Silence. Ear-deafening silence. This is what spread after I announced my decision. A single word detonated like a bomb. First, they were not expecting me to be here, and after knowing the reason behind my presence, they were definitely not expecting this answer from me. My father flinched in his position, and Marco's smile vanished. "What did you just say?" Marco growled near my ear, narrowing his eyes at me. He couldn't believe his ears. "I said no," I repeated just for him, just in case he didn't hear me. I turned slightly to face the Mafia council. "I am not ready to give my consent to make him a mafia king," I declared. The council members exchanged looks of confusion among themselves. The crowd gasped and whispered amongst themselves. "Any particular reason behind it?" The senior-most council member asked. "My husband built this Empire with his blood and sweat. He didn't inherit it; he earned it through scars. Before handing it over to someone else,

Black dress... This is what you are supposed to wear for the mafia king's crowning ceremony. It is a sign of power and mourning for the bloodshed that leads to the throne. It is a old tradition. That's why I wore white! Because I wasn’t here to mourn. I was here to defy. The black dress sent by Marco lay in the corner of the room like a rag while I slipped into a satin white gown, which I was meant to wear on my wedding day. I chuckled to myself. What irony. The silence in the room pressed into my skin like needles. I stood in front of the mirror, staring blankly at my own reflection. The dark circles under my eyes were clearly visible, and I hadn’t even tried to hide them. Let the world see what this house has done to me. My hair fell messily over my shoulder. I picked up a brush, and, as usual, I was about to tie it up when I remembered that the other women would have styled their hair into stiff buns because this was what was required of them today. So, I won't! I dropped
