Married To The Ruthless Mafia 17. Suspicion
THIRD PERSON POV“I will make the call now,” Lorenzo Silver said to his brother Paul.“Alright,” Paul replied.They’ve been trying to reach Ivy for days but her phone wasn’t going through. After deciding amongst themselves, Lorenzo then chose to call Alejandro directly, wanting to see and speak to him. Alejandro was by the pool with Britany when Enzo came to him with his phone.“Lorenzo Silver is calling,” Enzo informed him. Alejandro was surprised. It’s been over a month since he got married to Iris and the family didn’t reach out to him. He didn’t mind it though.He left the poolside to go speak to Lorenzo. He was curious to hear what it was Lorenzo had to say to him.“Alejandro Leone,” Lorenzo said as soon as the call went through. “Lorenzo Silver,” Alejandro replied, using the same girl tone Lorenzo used.“Isn’t it too formal to address each other this way? After all, you are my son-in-law,” Lorenzo remarked.Alejandro cleared his throat. “True. So should I say father-in-law or

IVY“My Princess, I’ve missed you so much.” Carmen Silver said to me as she wrapped her arms around me for a hug. It was forceful and I could tell from her hold. Iris's mom hugged me while pretending she missed me. I’ve always felt a negative energy from her.Right from the moment she saw me, there was this disgust she had in the way she looked at me and how she spoke to me. It was evident that she was tolerating my presence or she was angry that her daughter was missing and my face wasn’t helping.“How have you been my little angel?” Lorenzo Silver said to me, stretching his arms towards me for a hug.It felt really weird having to act like Iris Silver as they hugged me. “It’s all for the money and your mom,” I said mentally to myself. “I didn’t think that you would come but I’m glad that you did. This means the past is behind us right?” Lorenzo said to Alejandro.Now that I thought about it, I had so many questions to ask Paul Silver concerning Iris's disappearance, Alejandro’s
Last Updated : 2025-03-17Married To The Ruthless Mafia 19. What a mess!
IVYWhat have I gotten myself into? That was the only question I could ask myself as I listened to Paul speak."This was never… a part of the plan." I reminded him, my voice lower than I anticipated."The life of your mom is in your hands, Ivy. You didn't think you were just going to get married to him and stay there now did you?" His left brow quirked."But…""No. No buts." He cuts me off sternly."I just told you that he's a Mafia known as the Black Serpent, the man who possibly might be the one who killed my father. That's dangerous yet you want me to get information from him?" I scoffed in disbelief, my eyes filled with tears from the mess I had gotten myself into."Do you know how he treats me? He doesn't let me out of his sight and you want me to get information out of him and report to you? Did you not listen to the part where I said he took my phone?" It felt exhausting and whenever I felt exhausted, I'd want to cry.I was fighting back the tears that wanted to come out becaus

IVY"You took quite some time in the bathroom dear. Mind sharing what took you so long?" Alejandro questioned as soon as I returned to the garden."I…""I found her crying in her room." It was Paul Silver who spoke.Judging from the direction in which his sound came from, I could tell that he was behind me. He had come to save me from lying because I didn't know how to lie or what excuse to give that made me delay."Oh, my gracious. Iris, what is wrong?" Carmen Silver left her seat to come over to me feigning concern. She wrapped her arms around me but it didn't feel warm at all, it felt forced with how she firmly held my arms. "What's wrong honey?" She asked, I could tell she was trying so hard to tolerate me and the worst was I didn't know what I had done to deserve such an attitude from her."She missed home. It's normal for her to after all she has never been away for long. It's going to be alright princess. Lorenzo Silver said.Carmen pulled me with her to return to my seat. The

IVYI’d be lying if I said I’ve been able to close my eyes and sleep properly ever since Paul Silver told me of their plans and what they wanted me to do. That night when I returned home, Alejandro bade me farewell before going out separate ways. I tossed and turned on the bed and even cried silently until this morning.I had completely forgotten that Alejandro and I made plans to go hiking today. Although I didn’t feel like it, I couldn’t refuse when I received a text from Paul Silver reminding me of the mission with a picture of my mom in the hospital. I was wearing a lightweight breathable tank top, comfortable stretchy hiking leggings, and sturdy hiking boots. All of this was brought for me early this morning after Alejandro reminded me of it.“Come on,” I heard Alejandro say as he walked ahead of me. I adjusted my face cap before taking a few steps to catch up with him. As the sun dipped below the horizon casting a glow over the rugged landscape, we trudged along the narrow tra

ALEJANDRO"I didn't think that it would be so easy getting her to fall for my plans so soon," I chuckled as I explained everything to Matteo."What if this was also their plan?" Matteo asked.I shook my head. "I doubt that.""You sound confident though," Matteo replied."There is something about Iris. She's different but not in a good way and that's why I find it interesting that I will be toying with her for a long time. She might be a snake but I don't mind that.""The more dangerous they are, the more exciting it makes me feel. I will make her fall for me so fast and by the time I'm done making her fall helplessly, she will turn her back against her family," I informed him. "Brittany said Iris Silver is fire but this Iris is as calm as a flowing river. What are your plans henceforth?"I turned to look at Matteo with a smile on my face. "I appreciate your concern, Matteo. Iris Silver would fall for my trap because I will be wooing her henceforth. I will try and make her mine and ma

IVYI was in the garden taking a proper look at the mansion to give information to Paul Silver. They wanted a description of what Alejandro's mansion was like and asked me to send pictures if I could. He had told me to be careful and look around for cameras before doing anything that would make me suspicious. I sat in the garden, pretending to look around the beautiful garden while secretly taking pictures to send to them and deleting them immediately just as I had been informed. I was scared. My heart was racing as I did that as I imagined Alejandro appearing behind me and snatching my phone. I feared death but I didn't have a choice.Five days ago he had helped me calm my nerves when we went hiking. I've never felt so good before in a long time. I didn't think he had it in him to console me. I was scared for my life but those few seconds in his arms made me feel safe. The way he looked at me and his touch was soft warm and consoling. For some seconds, my heart raced faster than
Last Updated : 2025-03-22Married To The Ruthless Mafia 24. He's back
IVYMy heart skipped the minute Alejandro walked into the room. I’ve never been here before but that was expected considering I didn’t get the privilege to take a tour around the mansion yet. I didn’t know if I was a little excited because I hadn’t seen him in five days or for some other reason but I found him extremely good in my eyes. I thought it could be because he was dressed in a different type of outfit than I usually see him with. He wasn’t in his usual black fits but in a grey sweatshirt and sweatpants. “Don,” Maggie called as Alejandro took his seat.His eyes fell on me but he looked away almost immediately. I felt a little sad when that happened. He didn’t have the same look he had when he was on the hills with me.I quickly brushed away the feeling I felt in the pit of my stomach not wanting to dwell much on it.“You had called for me,” Maggie said.“Thank you so much for taking care of me and Steve. I appreciate it. It hasn’t been easy losing him but…” “And who said a

IVY POV“You look beautiful dear.” Sylvia complimented from behind me as I stood in front of the big standing mirror in front of me.“Thank you,” I replied with a smile on my face, admiring myself too. The dress came in two days ago. Alejandro sent one of the maids to go get the dress for me for the charity event we’d both be attending today.Things have been going smoothly between the both of us lately. It’s like he’s back to being the same person I feel for. I didn’t question it, I simply went along with it, reminding myself that he wasn’t an ordinary man so feelings like that weren’t something he dealt with.He would come over to my room, we’d talk, and sometimes watch films together, mostly my preference which was surprising because we’d never watched a film together before.He would watch and most times, he was staring at me and not watching. Whenever I asked him why he wasn’t watching, he'd tell me that he preferred watching me.We would kiss every night before he left. Every n
Married To The Ruthless Mafia 53. Mixed feelings
ALEJANDRO LEONE POV It's been a week and I got nothing so I concluded that I might have gotten it wrong. Iris does have feelings for me. I've come to accept it but what I haven't come to accept was what I felt for her and what I planned on doing with it.I didn't expect her to confess to me that night after dinner. I never would have thought that she was crushing on me before we even met. So just as I did my research on her, she also did hers and ended up crushing hard.For some reason, I have been thinking about that for a while and each time I did, a smile would form on my face, which was rare and funny because it wasn't me. I've been away on a business trip. I received an anonymous text that my uncle Marcos was planning to do shit to me and I've been trying to trail his track and to see what he's up to.So far I've been able to learn that he has visited the Silver family twice. I had no idea why but I've been looking into it. I never trusted the Silverd and when I finally allowed
Married To The Ruthless Mafia 52. Dropping the bomb
THIRD PERSON POV"What do you mean by that? You mean the heartless Alejandro has a heart and is interested in my look-alike?" Iris was surprised to hear the news that her mother just told her about. "I cannot believe this. Are you sure about this mom?" Iris asked."I'm not stupid when I see a man that is interested in a woman. Maybe it might be an act but he acted so well that I doubt it. I feel something is going on that we don't know and that girl, I don't trust her. I've never liked her away." Iris thought deeply about her mom's words. She still found it hard to believe after her mom told them all that went down at Alejandro's mansion."If she's keeping anything then she'd be the one to lose because she has her mother with us so I doubt, maybe nothing is going on and it's all an act from him after all…" she trailed off when she thought of something."Oh my goodness!""What is it, Iris?" Carmen asked her daughter inquisitively. "I told you I met Brittany some weeks back.""And
Married To The Ruthless Mafia 51. The Truth and lies
THIRD PERSON POVAlejandro's frantic action didn't go unnoticed by the Silvers after Ivy cut herself and he was already tending to her cut with so much interest.Ivy herself wasn't expecting him to act up so quickly and that made her more worried than she already was because she already told Carmen Silver there was nothing much going on between them when there was something although it wasn't defined and was unstable."You should have been careful," Alejandro whispered to her.He also didn't think that he would have jumped off his seat that quickly after she cut herself just to see how it was. It was only later he realized what he had done, acting without thinking once again because of Iris Silver."Come with me," he said.He wanted to go tend to her wound so that it didn't get infected. She wished he hadn't done so because she didn't fail to notice the looks on the face of the Silver and she wondered if he did too.He did notice it and that's why he hated that he had shown signs that
Married To The Ruthless Mafia 50. The invite
IVY"Dinner?" I was surprised to hear Al mention dinner with Iris's parents.What was the sudden need to meet them and have dinner with them? I thought to myself and then I thought of how it would give me the perfect opportunity to ask Paul Silver about my mom. "Yes. It's just we are married and it feels like both families don't get along that's why. I just want us to spend time with each other that's just it. I'm also sure you missed them too, don't you?" I forced a smile to my face. "You are right.""Alright then. I'm going to leave you now. I have some business to attend. I will call your parents to inform them so that they know the invite is from me. Have a nice day." He caressed my cheek and just as I was about to lean into his touch, he pulled away. I suddenly missed his touch and I haven't failed to notice the distance between us. He's always having something to do. At first, I thought that it was because he's business but lately, I'm starting to doubt that. I'm beginning

THIRD PERSON POV"I knew he was sneaky but I didn't know that he would do that openly and we'd be too blind to see it." Lorenzo Silver said to his brother who had just informed them of the snake amongst them."He will regret ever thinking he could trespass us. He wouldn't have had the chance if Iris was smart enough with her love life and worse she got herself pregnant with his baby," Lorenzo complained bitterly.Now that he knew that Marcos was the snake, he was angry because not only did he have to get rid of him but also the father of his soon-to-be grandchild."We will have to make sure he regrets this. We must get rid of him. We cannot keep him. That's why he chose to help because he was the one who had stolen from us but the question now is how did he come to bear on our conversation? It's not possible he overheard us when the door is always locked and it's soundproof." Paul Silver asked."That's it. He couldn't have been in the room at that time because the key to the room is w

IVY"You have every right to hate me you know. I won't hold that against you. I'm not just going to act like I'm some good guy and you know that.""What do you mean?" I asked.I already knew that he wasn't a good guy. He's a mafia which means he cannot be the ordinary man that I'm used to. Could that be why some days he's good and some days he's bad to me? Because he's not used to such emotions? Seeing how he always came back after hurting me made me feel like I wasn't trying to see beyond what he usually showed me and I felt a little guilty.He's not used to such and it's new to me too. He came back last night and had taken care of me. Maybe I could make things get better. So far he has been the only one trying to put so much effort so I wouldn't give up on him. "I didn't mean to hurt…."When you feel that way, it's better you speak to me than walk out on me and also when you feel that way, it's okay to keep quiet and not hurt me. I was hurt. You called me names and it's more hurtf

ALEJANDRO"Fuck!" I punched the bag in front of me with so much anger.Why was I affected by the way I saw her and the words I said to her? Why did it bother me so much? Until I discover everything that she has in her sleeves, I didn't want to associate with her. I wanted nothing to do with her and I thought I'd be able to handle it until I saw the look on her face and how hurt she was.She has fallen for me. This was perfect, just as I've wanted it and I should be able to use that against her but somehow my head was going crazy and I just couldn't help.I kept punching the bag hand, putting all of my frustration on it."Fuck! Fuck!" I cursed out as I recalled the look in her eyes and how heartbroken she was.I should have used it to my advantage. Getting her to reveal all of her family secrets, take them down, and break her heart, would have been better but somehow I just couldn't.The fact that there was evidence that she might be dangerous made me so bothered. I couldn't let my gua

My heart was shattered and broken when Al left me in my room after I thought we were going to make love.Maggie knows of my feelings for Al. I kept her informed on a few but not every detail so she knew that I liked him. I cried all through the night, feeling like my heart had been ripped out of my chest. It was heartbreaking. I expected him to come back to my room, to tell me that it was fine but he never did.The next day came faster than I expected and still unable to get rid of the heavy feeling I had in my chest, I took my heart and came over to Maggie's wanting a shoulder to cry on. Sylvia was on a week's leave.I was now to sleep for some hours over at Maggie's and when I woke up, she gave me some porridge to eat, telling me it would help me. She soon asked me what happened to her I hesitated at first because I felt so embarrassed so she told me not to bother and pro
