When I reached the location, Marco hugged me tightly.

"You don't know, Alessia, how stressed I was for you."

I nodded.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

"I am fine, Marco." I licked my lips and looked around to make sure no one was watching us.

It wasn't easy to come here alone. For the first time, guards didn't try to stop me. I am afraid it's another web created by Nikolai. If he is playing with me again, just the way he did with Dimitri.

"We don't have much time," I told him.

He nodded, understanding the situation.

"Where is the black book?" he asked, getting straight to the point.

I sighed and slowly reached inside my purse. My fingers trembled as I pulled it out.

I hate my heart!

Even though Nikolai has made his intentions clear to kill my unborn baby, my heart is still trembling at the thought of going against him.

I inhaled deeply and exhaled sharply.

I shouldn't forget that I am doing this for my baby. If I don't stand up to Nikolai, he will surely kill me

  • Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession    134. I want to go home

    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    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
