One Year with the Mafia Boss CHAPTER 101: FROM CONTRACT TO ETERNITY
JaydonAfter falling for the third time, I was finally escorted out of the delivery ward where Isayanna had been taken. My legs felt like jelly, and my mind was a chaotic mess. I could not tell if I was trembling from exhaustion or from the sheer weight of everything happening around me. My heart pounded so hard it felt like it might burst out of my chest, and my brain spun with a thousand thoughts, each one more frantic than the last.The anticipation was unbearable. It was slowly killing me. I could not decide which was worse—falling unconscious again or being left in this agonizing limbo, wondering if Isayanna was okay, if she was pushing through the pain, if our baby was safe. The uncertainty was a heavy chain around my neck, pulling me deeper into a sea of fear and doubt.I could not bear the thought of fate repeating itself. I needed both mother and child to be okay. I was not sure I could survive another tragedy. Isayanna meant everything to me, and now, so did this baby. They
One Year with the Mafia Boss CHAPTER 100: WHEN THE WATER BROKE
Isayanna When Jaydon and I stepped inside his parents’ mansion, the sounds of life immediately wrapped around us. Cries, giggles, adult laughter, and the hum of conversation spilled out from the dining room, creating a chaotic yet warm symphony. The noise was both comforting and overwhelming, like walking into a family reunion where everyone was already in full swing. I could not help but feel a little out of place, like I was intruding on a moment I had not fully earned the right to be part of.The mansion itself was just as I remembered it—grand, imposing, and filled with history. The old furnishings stood proudly alongside more modern touches, creating a strange but beautiful blend of eras. Tall chandeliers hung from the ceiling, their crystals catching the light and scattering it across the room like tiny stars. The walls were adorned with beautiful paintings, each one telling a story I could only guess at. It was the kind of home that felt more like a museum, a place where every
One Year with the Mafia Boss CHAPTER 99: THE MESS OF MOVING ON
Isayanna Pretending has never been easy for me. It is not something that comes naturally, not something I have ever been good at. But Jaydon taught me how to pretend. He taught me how to fake it, how to mask my feelings, how to bury everything deep inside until it felt like I was someone else entirely. He showed me how to act like I do not feel anything for him anymore. But I do. Yes, I still do. And yet, I rejected him. I said no as he knelt on the floor, holding a diamond ring in his trembling hands, promising me forever. It was not because I do not love him. I do. I love him so much it hurts, so much it feels like my chest might split open sometimes. But I turned him down because I still have doubts. I refused him because I need time—time to figure out if this is real, if this is true, if this is something that will last. I need to know if his feelings for me will change, if they will fade, if they will disappear like they did before. The first time, I made the mistake of r
One Year with the Mafia Boss CHAPTER 98: DIAMOND RINGS
Jaydon The drive to the lakehouse is completely silent. At one point, I glance over at Isayanna and notice she is not just silent but also nodding off, her head tilted slightly against the window. She looks peaceful, unaware of where we are headed or what this trip might mean. I wonder if she even realizes we are on our way to the lake cottage. Her breathing is soft, rhythmic, and for a moment, I let myself imagine that things between us are as they used to be—simple, easy, and full of trust. But that is just a fantasy, and I know it.When I decided to miss work today, I told myself it would be worth it. I showed up at her place unannounced, something I rarely do, and told her I wanted to take her somewhere. She hesitated, her eyes narrowing with suspicion, but she agreed. I could tell she was reluctant, but I also noticed something else—something that gave me a flicker of hope. Isayanna seemed… calmer. The raw edges of her anger, the desperation, the betrayal, and the frustration th
One Year with the Mafia Boss CHAPTER 97: ALONE UNTIL THE BABY ARRIVES
IsayannaBefore the tears pooling in my eyes can spill over, the sharp chime of the doorbell cuts through the heavy silence. My head snaps toward the door, the same door Jaydon had walked out of just minutes ago. My chest tightens, and I swallow hard, trying to push down the lump forming in my throat. I cannot believe I actually stood up to him like that. For years, I had promised myself I would never let him see me cry, never let him know how much his words could cut me to the core. Yet here I am, standing in the middle of the living room, my vision blurred and my heart pounding so hard it feels like it might break through my ribs. Why does it feel like the entire world is on his side? Why does everyone seem to think his pain is more valid than mine? Yes, he was traumatized by the accident—I get that. But so was I. I went through hell too, and I did it alone. No one held my hand or whispered comforting words in my ear. I picked myself up, piece by broken piece, and kept moving forw
One Year with the Mafia Boss CHAPTER 96: THE LETTER ON THE DOORSTEP
Jaydon Finally, after three stops, the car comes to a halt in front of Isayanna’s house. I sit frozen in the backseat, my hands gripping the edge of the leather seat, trying to summon the courage to ask Jude to take me here. The truth is, I did not plan this. I did not wake up this morning thinking I would end up here, standing on the precipice of a conversation I have been avoiding for months. But here I am, and there is no turning back now.Those three stops were not just errands. They were excuses. The first stop was to buy a gift for her—a small, fragile box wrapped in silver paper that now sits beside me on the seat. The second stop was to pick up flowers, a bouquet of white lilies that remind me of her quiet strength. The third stop was for me. To breathe. To think. To gather the shattered pieces of my confidence and remind myself why I need to do this. Why I cannot keep running away.Even now, as I step out of the car, my legs feel like they are made of lead. My heart is pound
One Year with the Mafia Boss CHAPTER 63: WHO ELSE WOULD IT BE?
Isayanna I pushed the door open without knocking, stepping into the room to find Jaydon pacing back and forth, his phone pressed tightly to his ear. His mouth twitched, a clear sign of irritation or stress—maybe both. I hesitated for a moment, lingering just outside the doorway, but when his head
One Year with the Mafia Boss CHAPTER 62: SECRETS LEAKED
Isayanna Grandma wraps her arms around me in a deep, loving hug, and I have to force myself to suppress the flood of emotions rushing through me. It has been so long since my last visit. I have missed her more than I realized. She never comes to see me anymore, though, and I know it is because sh
One Year with the Mafia Boss CHAPTER 60: THE RULES OF DESIRE
Isayanna As soon as Jaydon approached Christian’s huge gate, he asked the driver to stop the car so that I could get out. I could feel his eyes on me, watching closely as I made my way to the door. I paused for a moment, gently turning around to face him, and, just as I expected, he was looking a
One Year with the Mafia Boss CHAPTER 59: A YEAR OF STUCK
JaydonThe silent drive home gives me too much time to think, replaying everything that’s been happening lately—especially the conversation with my mother before she left with her driver. Her words still linger, pressing down on me like a weight I can’t shake off.Jude hasn’t said a word since I go
