“Get down!”

The warning barely registered before Maximilian tackled me, his arms locking around me as we crashed off our chairs and onto the pavement just as the air exploded with sound.

Crack.

The café's front window shattered into a shower of sparkling glass, spraying over the table where we had been sitting moments before. Shards embedded themselves directly into the wood right where my head had rested. My ears rang from the shock. Pinned under Maximilian's weight, his chest pressed hard aga

  • Marry Mafia King or My Fifth Fiancés Dies   Chapter 114: No Shadows

    “I used to think my hands were only built to destroy things, Emery.”The words fell softly into the warm, dimly lit silence of Private Suite One, stripped of all command, stripped of all blood, carrying a quiet reverence that made my throat tighten.Maximilian sat motionless on the edge of the velvet armchair beside my hospital bed, towering over the acrylic bassinet like an iron statue guarding a sacred altar. His broad, calloused thumb—a hand that had snapped iron locks and ordered the downfall of syndicates—was currently trapped in the tiny, fiercest grip of our newborn daughter. She lay swaddled in pale cotton, her small pink chest rising and falling in perfect, rhythmic peace.Beside her, our son slept soundly under the soft yellow glow of the nightlight, his tiny dark head turned toward his sister.“You built a fortress to protect us, Maximilian,” I whispered, shifting slightly against the plush white pillows. My body was sore, exhausted to the bone, but a profound, radiant war

  • Marry Mafia King or My Fifth Fiancés Dies   Chapter 113: Dared to Dream

    “I can’t ... Maximilian, I have nothing left!”The ragged scream tore from my chest, burning my raw throat as another brutal wave of contractions clamped around my abdomen like a heated iron vice. Cold sweat poured down my neck, plastering dark, matted strands of hair against my forehead. My vision swam with blinding spots of light, every muscle in my body trembling uncontrollably against the blood-stained sheets.“Look at me, sweet girl!” Maximilian’s roar shattered the sterile chaos of Suite Four, dark, primal, and laced with an agonizing, desperate fury that forced my heavy eyelids open.His massive hand tightened over mine with a fierce, crushing heat, anchoring my slipping consciousness. He didn’t flinch as my nails cut deep into his skin. His dark, bloodshot eyes burned into mine, completely stripped of the cold, unyielding armor he had worn.“You’re not giving up now, Emery!” he rasped, his broad arm sliding beneath my shoulders to lift my weight, bringing his face inches from

  • Marry Mafia King or My Fifth Fiancés Dies   Chapter 112: Only at Me

    “Breathe, sweet girl. Squeeze my hand as hard as you need to.”Maximilian didn’t flinch as my fingers dug into his palm with enough force to bruise skin, his broad hand an unyielding anchor in the blinding storm tearing through my lower body.The surgical lights above the delivery bed burned hot and bright, casting harsh white glare over the cold tile walls of Suite Four. The frantic, double-time beep of the fetal monitors filled the room, a relentless rhythm—thump-thump-thump-thump—that competed with the roar of coastal rain hammering against the reinforced glass windows.“I can’t ... Maximilian, it hurts too much!” I gasped out, a ragged, breathless sob tearing from my throat as another violent contraction clamped around my uterus like an iron vise.Cold sweat soaked through the collar of my gown, pinning dark strands of wet hair against my forehead. The white sheets beneath my hips were bunched tight, my knuckles stark white where my other hand clutched the side rail.“You can, Eme

  • Marry Mafia King or My Fifth Fiancés Dies   Chapter 111: Just Ours

    “I’m not going anywhere, sweet girl.”His raspy voice didn’t just break through the sterile, rhythmic hum of the transport's monitors.It wrapped around my shaking frame like an iron shield, hot and unyielding.Maximilian’s large, calloused fingers tightened over mine, his thumb frantically tracing the back of my hand where the IV needle was taped down.Rain roared against the reinforced roof of the heavy medical vehicle as it tore through the flooded city streets, its red tactical lights strobing wildly against the frosted glass windows.Every sharp turn of the wheels made my hips ache, but the grounding heat of his palm kept my anchor from snapping completely.“Swear it to me,” I choked out, a ragged gasp catching in my throat as another slow, tightening pressure clamped around my spine. “Swear you won’t let them push you into the waiting hallway, Maximilian. I don’t care what hospital policy says.”“I would like to see a doctor in this city try to remove me from your room,” he grow

  • Marry Mafia King or My Fifth Fiancés Dies   Chapter 110: Come Back To You

    “I’m ten minutes away, sweet girl. Don’t let them take those babies out until I’m through those doors.”Maximilian’s voice didn’t just come through the speaker. It vibrated against my jawline with a fierce, possessive panic that cut right through the sharp, blinding pain tearing across my lower back.Over the receiver, the deafening roar of the twin-turbo V8 engine sounded like a caged beast being pushed to its absolute limits. Tires screeched violently against rain-drenched asphalt, accompanied by the high-pitched wail of tactical sirens cleaving through the midnight storm.“Maximilian, I can’t hold them back!” I gasped, my knuckles turning stark white as I buried my fingers into the steel edge of the gurney.Another violent wave of pressure clamped around my uterus, tighter and heavier than the last, dragging a ragged, painful groan straight from my throat. Tears of sheer exhaustion burned hot against my cheeks, soaking into the damp white pillow.“Lucas!” Maximilian’s roar shattere

  • Marry Mafia King or My Fifth Fiancés Dies   Chapter 109: Survived

    “Emery.”His voice didn’t just cross ten miles of rainy coastline through the satellite speaker, it filled the sterile, cold air of the subterranean safe room like a hot, steady wave, washing away the metallic tang of fear that had hung over us for hours.I squeezed the mobile terminal against my ear, my knuckles white, my breathing coming in short, uneven hitches that made the small screen tremble against my cheek.“Maximilian ….” I choked out, a breathless sob tearing from my lungs.Through the quiet receiver, I heard the sudden, sharp rustle of his heavy tactical coat, followed by the rapid, echoing thud of his boots against the iron deck of the freighter as he walked away from the corpse on the bridge floor.“I’m right here, sweet girl,” he rasped, every syllable laced with an exquisite, breathtaking tenderness that made my chest ache. “I’m on the bridge. It’s done, Emery. Richard is gone, the drives are secured, and the federal teams are taking the berth. The war is over. I’m com
