Nora’s POV

I drove straight to Liam’s apartment, my fingers trembling as I repeatedly dialed his line, hoping he would pick but he didn’t. Fear of what he might do to himself, how disdainful he would be feeling due to the truth he had learnt gripped me.

“What if this changes everything between us? What if he decides not to see me again? What if this breaks him completely?” those what-ifs enveloped my mind as I drove, with fear of uncertainty gripping my heart and glistening in my eyes.

Eventually I got to his apartment, but he was nowhere to be found. I knocked desperately on his door repeatedly, hoping he would come out to me, but he didn’t. I peeped into his living room through the front window, hoping I would catch a glimpse of him but everywhere was claimed by darkness.

It was then it hit me – that he wasn’t at home. I would have gone in, but I wasn’t with my spare key.

“Where could he have gone? Why is he not home? Is he in danger? Did he...... hurt himself?” I thought, t

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   Becoming a Monster for Her Daughter

    Nora/Camilla’s POV I sat in that isolate room, resting my back on the wall. Father and Alaric had left and I was there- alone with my haunting and terrifying thoughts. The more I thought about that girl- the more I tried picturing what she looked like, the more tears streamed down my eyes. For ten good years, I had been trying to have a child. I took medications, injections, went through the processes of IVF so many times and opted for surrogacy, just so I could have a child who had my blood running in his veins. I ran around aimlessly, not realizing that my child- my own blood- was wallowing in loneliness, waiting for her mother to come for her. To take her hands, console her when she was sad and wiped away her tears when she cried. While I unknowingly cared for my husband's son which he had with his mistress, my own child was neglected by me. She was yearning for her mother's love- the love I had diverted to my rival’s son. Now, she thought of me to be a betrayal- a wicked

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   Where Was I When She Cried?

    Nora/Camilla’s POV “The one you gave birth to twenty years ago,” he calmly replied, with a smirk on his face. I couldn’t believe my ears- couldn't believe any word that came out of my father’s mouth. I searched his eyes, hoping to see any trace of lies in them, but all I could see was the truth staring right back at me. He was actually telling the truth- he meant every single word he said. “That night twenty years ago when you ran away, you were delivered of your baby girl by your friend, Vanessa. I didn’t know until a few months after, when Vanessa walked into my mansion with your legacy held in her arms. She told me you got taken away by a strange man and left your child in her care. You abandoned your child for a man, Nora,” he said, his voice laced with disgust. My body froze. As much as I wanted to believe his words, I couldn’t bring myself to do so. Abandoned my child? That was something I knew I wouldn’t do no matter what. I shook my head violently in refusal. “N

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   My Conditions or Your Daughter?

    Camilla’s POV The first thing I felt as soon as my eyes fluttered open was pain. My vision blurred, but slowly the world began to align. I was tied to a chair, in a room which was damp and dusty- an abandoned building to be precise. At first, I couldn’t understand how I got there or why I was there, but when the memories of the man I had seen before darkness enveloped me came rushing to me, everything became clear. Alaric- I whispered underneath my breath. I looked around to see if I would catch sight of him- someone, anyone- but I was all alone. Everywhere was silent and the silence became suffocating for me. I struggled- tried freeing myself, but the rope didn’t budge. I looked around, hoping to see any sharp object I could use in cutting the rope, but everywhere was clean of any object- as if Alaric already knew I would be in dire need of one. Just then, I heard footsteps approaching. Even before the door creaked open, I already knew who it was. I could identify those fo

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   It's Time to Come Home, Nora.

    Camilla’s POV I stirred beneath the sheets- my body shifted, and my eyes fluttered open. My head ached and so did my entire body. The hangover was merciless. I couldn’t bring myself to sit up, but somehow, I managed to do so, with the sheets wrapped around me. I turned to the other side of the bed, hoping to see him, but the space was empty. All that was there was a note- a note that contained a message meant for me. I grabbed the piece of paper, and it read: “Thank you for letting me hold you once again, Nora. Now, it’s time to remember who you are and let your wrath burn the world- without sparing anyone. I will always root for you. See you soon. Your Zaddy.” I stared at the note held in my trembling hands. “Nora?” How did he know my name? “Thank you for letting me hold you once again, Nora,” I read the words again, my brain processing each. “Once again? Does that mean we have met before?” My stomach grumbled as I thought. Only Steve knew my real name. So, how

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   Peace in a Stranger's Arms

    Camilla’s POV His hand was warm, and the warmth melted my iced heart- it gave me the comfort I needed. With my hand held in his, he led me out of the club through the back exit. A car was parked there- as if the driver was waiting for us. The car door opened and a young man who seemed to be the driver alighted, approaching us. “Alpha,” he bowed his head as he stood in front of the stranger that was holding my hand in his.“Take us to the hotel,” the stranger ordered the driver and with that, we zoomed off. The ride to the hotel was blurry. I could barely see anything again. My head was spinning, my body ached, and the chilling night air seeped into my bones. We arrived at the hotel which was in a discreet and quiet area- the kind of environment where secrets remained hidden and kept. He helped me out of the car and aided me as we walked to the elevator, down to his suite. He was so cautious and protective of me. He knew I was drunk, so he did well to guide me as I took each

  • NORA: THE MAFIA QUEEN; THE ALPHA'S MATE   Just for Tonight

    Camilla’s POV The cold night air slapped my cheek as I stepped out of the mansion. I didn’t know how I stopped a taxi, drove down there, but somehow, I found myself in one of the darkest clubs on the outskirts of the city. A club where no woman of honor was supposed to be. The moment I witnessed that scene, I forgot the personality- Camilla, forgot I was a married woman. All I wanted at that moment was to drink away my sorrow. “A bottle of Tequila, please” I ordered facing the bartender, my voice strained. The bartender raised an eyebrow, as if he was shocked that someone who was modestly dressed like me could ask for a bottle of Tequila. He asked no question and went ahead to serve me my order. Good for him, because if he had pushed further, he would have been dining with the dead by now. He offered me a glass, but I pushed it away. I didn’t need one because I wanted to drown. I grabbed my drink and walked to a dark corner of the club, taking my seat. I grabbed the drink
