73. Playing his game

last update Last Updated: 2025-04-09 23:41:09

The silence in the mansion was almost deadly. Nikolai is very busy these days. He barely has time for anything else.

As mentioned by Marco, he is actually doing something big in which he is putting his heart and soul.

I haven't put the speaker in his study yet, nor have I contacted Marco. But each passing day is becoming difficult for me.

I really want to be free from this home so I can start a new life with my baby, and for that, I know I have to do as Marco has said.

Nikolai has invited a few clients to the house. They will have a private meeting in his study, a place that is the most secure, according to him. I need to plant the speaker today itself, or else it will be of no use.

I changed hands when my right palm became too sweaty for holding the tiny recorder for long.

I let out a deep breath.

Nikolai hasn't left his study, which won't allow me to execute my plan. But now I have to do it no matter what.

I wasn’t sure if I wanted to destroy Nikolai, but I knew I had to try

  • 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

  • Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession    130. Move with patience

    Nikolai's POV Alessia held onto my arm tightly, as we waited for Matron to join us. Unlike other times, today the orphanage was unusually silent. The laughs of children that usually fill this place were missing. Alessia’s grip on my hand tightened. “What if she says he’s not here?”“She won’t,” I said, though the same fear haunted my thoughts.I got to know that Marco left Leo here after that incident. He hasn't told his girlfriend about Leo and if she hears him calling him dad, she will definitely break up with him. Marco is a very cunning and greedy person. He will not let go of his girlfriend when she is the sole owner of her father's business. The day before yesterday was his girlfriend's birthday so he left Leo in the orphanage. I hope he hasn't taken him back. With the current situation, he would like to keep him to himself so he could prove to the council that he is taking care of him like a doting father. Matron came, breaking the chain of thoughts. She didn't seem please

  • Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession    129. To claim Leo

    Alessia's POV I was standing in the middle of a vast field that looked familiar yet foreign. Everything was quiet around me. The sky above me was grey as if it was also mourning. A breeze rustled the grass at my feet, but there was no sound, no birds, no voices, not even the beat of my own heart. “No...” I whispered, stumbling forward. “No, no, please…”“Leo?” I called out desperately, spinning around in every direction “Baby, where are you? Leo!”There was no answer—only silence.I looked down and realized I was wearing white, the hem of my dress soaked in something dark. My hands trembled as I raised them to my stomach.It was flat.Empty.Not even the slightest mound was there.And then my eyes caught the sight of two small cribs, standing far off in the distance. II ran towards them with the hope that I would find my babies inside, but my heart broke when they, too, were empty. My lungs burned with each breath I took, my throat was sore from screaming."My babies! Please!”A s

  • Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession    128. Turning tables

    Nikolai's POV The moment I saw Leo in Marco’s arms, something inside me broke, especially after knowing that he was my son. It should be mean whom Leo, must be calling daddy. I remember those months when he was in Alessia's womb. I used to imagine what it would be like to meet my son. To hear him call me ‘Daddy’. To see me as his pillar that's always with him no matter what. I had dreamt of holding him, teaching him, watching him grow up with Alessia’s fire in his heart and my protection around him like armor. But reality was crueler than imagination.Because the child I had mourned, the one I had buried in my nightmares and searched for in every prayer, was standing just a few feet away... and reaching for daddy, which was not me but Marco. Leo clung to him as if he was safe. As if he was home.I wanted to tear the moment apart. I wanted to rip Leo from his grip and shout the truth loud enough to burn the lies from his mind. I could sense Alessia wasn't fine. But my world moved
