One Year with the Mafia Boss CHAPTER 56: THE KISS BETWEEN US
Isayanna I woke up shivering, the cold creeping under the thin sheets. The night felt endless. I rubbed my arms, trying to shake off the chill, but it wouldn’t go away. My eyes flickered open, scanning the room in the dim light of the early morning. My wardrobe was a mess—clothes haphazardly shoved in every corner, none of them the right kind for the freezing night I’d just endured. I managed to find a pair of Jaydon’s t-shirts, way too big for me. They swallowed me whole, but they were the only option. Not ideal, but at least they were dry. Thankfully, I’d had the foresight to wear a pair of shorts underneath my dress the day before, so I wasn’t completely exposed. It wasn’t the most comfortable, but I had no choice. I ended up sleeping in those bum shorts and oversized t-shirt, hoping for warmth and comfort that never quite came.Thoughts of Jaydon kept buzzing around my head. I didn’t even know when I finally fell asleep. He had been so tense last night, so... distant. When he sa
One Year with the Mafia Boss CHAPTER 55: UNDER THE STORM
Jaydon My breath came out in short, ragged bursts when her body pressed against mine, and her arms wrapped around my head, pulling me into a tight embrace.Isayanna and I had never been this close before. Not until our wedding day, that is.The moment she realized I had frozen, she pulled back quickly, her face flushing as she muttered an apology. I’ve been thinking about that moment ever since I left her alone in the kitchen, busy preparing. But I’m not sure what to make of what happened between us. Was it just a moment of closeness, or was there something more to it?Truth is, I’ve never paid attention to anyone other than Hera."Let’s eat outside," she says, her voice light as she carries the meal from the kitchen. I can smell the potatoes—my favorite. I’d made sure Madam Cassandra bought plenty when she went shopping for me yesterday. She’s my maid, and she comes by once a week to clean. Occasionally, she helps me with errands, like picking up groceries when I need them.I’ve ne
One Year with the Mafia Boss CHAPTER 54: SPACE BETWEEN US
Isayanna His body is still on mine. I freeze for a moment, then instinctively pull away, pushing myself out of his reach.A cold shiver races down my spine the instant his warmth is gone. It's like a part of me is suddenly disconnected from him, and I feel a bit... lost.What have I just done? My heart is racing, and I can't seem to shake the feeling of embarrassment. I know I should be happy about coming to Verona, that Jaydon’s supported my vacation, but why did I act like that? Why did I leap at him like... like I was craving something more than just his kindness?Won’t he get the wrong idea? What’s going on with me?I know he’s been incredibly kind to me over the past week. I get it, he's been sick, and I’ve been helping him out, but why does it feel like this is turning into something else? It shouldn’t be, right?If I don’t take care of him, who will? I’m his wife, after all. I can’t just leave him hanging.I swallow hard, forcing myself to calm down. My hands move automaticall
One Year with the Mafia Boss CHAPTER 53: A NEW STORY
Isayanna I watch him struggle with his words. Each one feels like it’s being dragged out of him, a weight he’s carried for too long. He recounts everything—leaving no detail hidden, no stone unturned. I can see it in the way his voice wavers, how his shoulders tense as if bracing for an invisible blow. He’s trying so hard not to cry in front of me, and all I want to do is reach out, wrap my arms around him, and tell him it’s okay to fall apart. But I hold back. Time, they say, heals all wounds. But as I sit here, listening to Jaydon pour out his pain, I know that isn’t entirely true. Time doesn’t heal—it only dulls the edges, makes the pain a little easier to carry. Jaydon is healing, though he doesn’t seem to realize it. For the entire year I’ve worked for him, I had no idea he was carrying this kind of burden. All I saw was a man who was distant, harsh, and unapproachable. I thought he was cold by choice, not because he was drowning in grief. Now, hearing his story, it’s as if
One Year with the Mafia Boss CHAPTER 52: WHAT LOVE LEAVES BEHIND
Jaydon It had been a week since I last went to work. At home, I had been doing my best to relax, mostly because Isayanna insisted on it. Sure, I knew I needed the break—I wasn’t blind to that—but it was impossible to shake the constant weight of the work still waiting for me. With her help, though, we managed to tackle everything important in just a few days. The rest, we left for the office team to deal with. Anna, ever efficient, would bring the critical stuff home, and she and I would work through it together. Well… she worked, mostly. I just hovered around, watching her handle it all like it was nothing. She had been so supportive through it all. Honestly, I couldn’t believe she hadn’t even mentioned leaving again since that day. The night she came back home smiling, relief had rushed through me. I hadn’t realized I was holding my breath until then. That small, familiar voice in my head whispered something dark—telling me that one day, she might not come back—but I shut it do
One Year with the Mafia Boss CHAPTER 51: SHE IS GONE
Isayanna Christian's home is stunning, spacious, and serene, but it still does not compare to Jaydon’s. A large pool glimmers in the front yard, its surface rippling softly under the breeze, leaving me breathless for a moment. When Christian parks the car in the driveway, the silence between us—unyielding since we left Jaydon’s estate—finally shatters. "I am curious, you know?" His tone is casual, almost too casual, as he pushes the car door open. I watch him step out first before unbuckling and following. The heat of the pavement presses through the soles of my shoes, but his stare is what pulls me back into the moment. He moves to stand in front of me, his tall frame blocking the sunlight. His eyes search mine, sharp and probing. "You and my wife are not friends. I know that much," he says with a trace of amusement, though his words are more statement than question. "So, I am surprised you wanted to come here. Of all places." I shrug, unwilling to explain myself. There is no
