MYA

AMBUSH

The sound of voices yelling outside the store made me flinch. My heart raced, pounding so loudly in my chest I was certain everyone around could hear it.

This was it, wasn’t it? They’d storm in, grab me, and drag me out like an animal. I tried to think of some way—any way—to save myself, but nothing came. Where would I even go?

I glanced toward Angelo. He stood near the entrance. The sheer contrast between his calmness and my panic made my terror feel even worse. How could he stand there, so unbothered? Didn’t he care that the entire Carson family’s guards were outside, demanding my head?

“Stay where you are,” Angelo said without looking at me, his voice low and unbelievably confident. It wasn’t a suggestion. It was a command, one that sent a shiver down my spine.

The shouting outside grew more aggressive. The words were muffled, but I caught bits and pieces—“murderer,” “justice,” “boss’s blood.” My stomach twisted. If Angelo handed me over, I’d be dead before I could plead

  • Okay, Daddy: Mafia’s Lord Betrothed Little Bride   51: you belong to me

    Mya Everything happened too fast.One second, Angelo was standing in the doorway, his expression carved from stone. The next, he was on the man, wrenching him off me and throwing the first punch so hard it sent the other man stumbling back against the wall.A sickening crack echoed in the small space.But Angelo didn’t stop.Another punch. Then another. His movements were precise—but furious. He fought like a man who had done this before, like he knew exactly how much force to use to inflict the most damage.The man fought back, throwing wild swings, but Angelo was quicker. He dodged with ease, delivering another brutal hit to his ribs. A choked grunt filled the room as the man staggered, but Angelo caught him by the collar, dragging him forward and slamming him against the wall.“Stay the hell away from my wife,” Angelo growled, his voice low and freaking dangerous.The man wiped blood from his lip, then chuckled—a dark, mocking sound. “Your wife?” He spat to the side, shaking his h

  • Okay, Daddy: Mafia’s Lord Betrothed Little Bride   50: Don’t Play Innocent

    The moment I stepped into the grand ballroom, I felt out of place. You’d think having attended a handful of these parties would make you used to the kind of crowd but there was just no getting used to it. The chandeliers above sparkled, casting golden light over the elegantly dressed guests. The men wore sleek suits, the women dressed in shimmering gowns, soft laughter and practiced conversations filling the air. But none of that mattered. Not when Angelo’s arm was wrapped firmly around my waist. Not when his touch sent heat curling through my body, making it nearly impossible to think straight. I had been trying to keep my thoughts in check since last night at the club. I really had. But every time I was near him, every time he touched me, my mind went places it shouldn’t. And tonight, in this dress that clung to every curve, in his arms as we posed for photos, my brain had completely betrayed me. Why is he holding me so tight? I felt his fingers press against the small of my

  • Okay, Daddy: Mafia’s Lord Betrothed Little Bride   49: SPREAD YOUR FUCKING LEGS”

    Angelo I leaned back in my chair, exhaling slowly, but it did nothing to clear my mind. My thoughts were a tangled mess, She was always getting herself into messes, it wasn’t weird that she had finally made one of my mind.I clenched my fists, staring blankly at the reports scattered across my desk. I had always liked control. In every part of my life. Business, relationships—everything had to be on my terms. In the bedroom, that control was absolute. The way I commanded, the way I dictated every touch, every sound, every reaction. Having someone submit to me, to let go of all their control and simply obey—it had always been intoxicating. It made something in my head click right.And I had always liked being called Daddy.It wasn’t just about the word. It was what it meant.Trust.Surrender.Obedience.But only in the bedroom.Only when I wanted it.Only when it meant nothing outside of that.So why the hell had it shaken me when she said it outside of it?Mya was different.Tha

  • Okay, Daddy: Mafia’s Lord Betrothed Little Bride   48: Yes Daddy

    AngeloThe city skyline stretched beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows of my office, the glass reflecting the soft glow of my desk lamp. It was late, but that didn’t matter. Work never truly ended. Stacks of contracts sat in front of me, neatly arranged after hours of reviewing, signing, and approving. The weight of running an empire never got lighter, no matter how many capable hands I had beneath me.I had quite a number of people running different companies and branches of everything I own all around the world and at the end of the day.I leaned back in my chair, rubbing my temples. The upcoming anniversary event for this company was something I had barely thought about. It was just another obligation—something to show my presence, shake a few hands, and remind people why they needed to keep doing business with me.But now, things were different.Mya.She wasn’t supposed to be part of this. When I married her, I never intended to let her too far into my world. It was supposed to be

  • Okay, Daddy: Mafia’s Lord Betrothed Little Bride   47: Embarrassed

    I wanted to die.Right there, on the spot. Just let the ground swallow me whole and never let me come back.I stared at him, horrified, as the weight of what I’d just said crashed down on me.“Yes, Daddy.”Oh. My. God.Kill me. Now.Somebody please drive a stake through my fucking heart and put an end to my suffering.His fingers dropped from my chin so fast, like my skin had burned him. And the look on his face? I didn’t even know what to call it. Shock? Confusion? Whatever it was, it made my stomach twist painfully.For a second, I thought maybe I could take it back, erase it somehow. Maybe he didn’t hear me. Maybe I’d imagined the whole thing.But I knew better.Because he had heard me.And now, he was looking at me like… like I was something strange.Heat flooded my face. I could feel it creeping up my neck, burning my ears, making my whole body hum with mortification.“I—I take that back,” I stammered weakly. My voice didn’t even sound like mine.His face gave nothing away.And t

  • Okay, Daddy: Mafia’s Lord Betrothed Little Bride   46: Fantasies and Reality

    MyaThe Next MorningI woke up feeling... I don’t know, calmer, better, rested. Whatever you chose to call itThat was the first thing I noticed.For the first time in a long while, I had slept through the night without tossing and turning. No nightmares, no overthinking until dawn—just deep, uninterrupted sleep.Then, as I sat up, the memories from last night came crashing back. My mind could have at least given me a second to breathe.My face heated instantly.Oh my God.The club. The dancing. Him. The way he held me, touched me, whispered things into my ear and made my knees feel like jelly.And then… what I had done after.I groaned and buried my face in my hands.What was wrong with me?Shaking off the embarrassment, I got out of bed, determined to act normal. I wasn’t going to think about it. I wasn’t going to let him get into my head again. If I didn’t think about it, then it didn’t happen. I don’t know how logical that was just at least it was working. Out of mind, out of emba
