One Year with the Mafia Boss CHAPTER 47: BEHIND LOCKED DOORS
Isayanna She glares at me, her eyes cold and unforgiving. Before I can even take a breath, her hands push me backward with a force that makes me stumble.It's Mrs. Grey, Jaydon's mother."What have you done to him?" Her voice is loud, sharp, and it echoes through the empty hospital corridors. The words hit me like a slap across the face.I did the only thing I could think of. I called.I reached out to every person I could think of. His parents, my grandmother, Christian. I’ve cried so much that my eyes feel empty, like the tears have run dry. I should have seen it. I should have noticed he was unwell, should have urged him to see a doctor sooner.But now, it feels like the weight of everything is crashing down on me. I blame myself for all of this. I blame myself for what happened to him. If I hadn’t asked that one question, if I hadn’t accidentally spilled water all over him when all he wanted was a drink, maybe he wouldn’t be so angry with himself. Maybe he wouldn’t have locked h
One Year with the Mafia Boss CHAPTER 46: WASHING AWAY REGRET
Jaydon "What the hell is this, Isayanna?" I yell at her again, and she recoils, her face filled with panic as if she had just been struck. I feel a wave of frustration rush through me, but it is not just because of the water that’s now dripping down my clothes. It is because she destroyed my meal. I hadn’t eaten anything all day, and now, just as my hunger finally caught up with me, she ruined it. Her voice trembles as she apologizes, her eyes cast downward. "I’m so… so… sorry."She knows how much I despise clumsiness. And yet, here she is, making the very mistake I loathe. It is not just the water that has me upset—though I will admit it is annoying—but it is the fact that my meal is ruined, and with it, my appetite vanishes completely.I have not been able to eat much for over two days, and now, as my hunger swells, I wonder when my appetite will ever return.I turn away in anger, frustration boiling inside me. My feet carry me to the closet before I even realize it. I need a sho
One Year with the Mafia Boss CHAPTER 45: THE COLD DISTANCE
Isayanna Jaydon has been cold toward me ever since I asked about Hera.I had no idea that asking about her would hit such a nerve. But when I saw his reaction, his emotions—anger, frustration, something darker—I realized it was more than just an ex. I wanted to know more, to understand why simply mentioning her name seemed to make him feel like a different person.Clearly, Hera isn’t just anyone. I thought she was just one of the exes Jaydon didn’t want to talk about. I was curious about his past—his love life, why he’d stopped believing in love. I was sure he had once been in love, that there was someone who had captured his heart. Maybe it was her. Maybe it was Hera.Now, whenever Jaydon comes home with that frosty look on his face, ignoring me as if I don’t even exist, all I can think about is Hera.I should just ignore him, too. Maybe that’s the best way forward. I should probably start doing it right now, if for no other reason than to make things easier. This is our third week
One Year with the Mafia Boss CHAPTER 44: UNFINISHED PROMISES
Jaydon When Anna handed me the wrong file for the second time, I could feel my patience snap. I tried to hold back, tried to keep my cool, but I couldn’t stop myself from slamming my fist on the desk. The pen on the desk rolled off with a soft clink as Anna flinched back, eyes wide in fear. First, she messed up my coffee order, and now this. Wrong file, again. Was the universe trying to ruin my day? Because it sure felt like it.Isayanna had asked me a ridiculous question this morning, just as I was getting ready to leave for work—who was Hera? Who the hell did she think she was, asking me that? It burned me up just thinking about it. I didn’t even know how she had learned about Hera, and honestly, I didn’t care. I wasn’t interested in finding out. But I was damn sure upset that she even brought her up. She had no right to ask about Hera. No one did. Just because I was polite with her didn’t mean she could dig into my personal life like that. Was it because I’d asked her some qu
One Year with the Mafia Boss CHAPTER 43: A GLIMPSE OF THE PAST
Jaydon When I step out of the bathroom, my eyes immediately land on Isayanna still curled up on the bed, sound asleep. I can’t help but wonder when she will wake up. There are things I need to ask her—questions I meant to ask last night. But as I stepped out of the restroom, I found her deep in slumber. It’s almost funny how quickly she falls asleep. Like it’s nothing for her to slip into it, no matter the time. I shift my gaze away from her peaceful form, tucked in tight like she’s trying to hold on to warmth. I walk toward the wardrobe, reaching for a change of clothes. I pull out a black jacket, a pair of black jeans, and a white long-sleeve shirt, then carry them back to the bed. But just as I’m about to set them down, I notice Isayanna stirring in her sleep. She yawns loudly without even trying to cover her mouth. I stop for a second, watching her. She stretches her mouth wide, eyes still closed, before finally blinking them open. When her gaze meets mine, she scrambles to
One Year with the Mafia Boss CHAPTER 42: A SIP OF SOMETHING MORE
Isayanna It was Adrianna Vineyard.That was the name of the wine Jaydon poured when Christian and his wife came over for supper three nights ago.I was lounging on the sofa, my legs crossed, a book in my right hand, and my back comfortably resting against the cushions. Taking a sip of the wine, I let out a soft groan of satisfaction before placing the glass back on the coffee table with a contented sigh.I really like this wine. The flavor is a bit unusual, but I can't say for sure why. Maybe it’s because I haven't tried many wines, and this one’s just different. Who knows? Maybe if I try a few more types, I'll find one that I like just as much, or even more.But for now, this wine is perfect. It’s going to be my go-to whenever I sit down with a book. There’s something about it that makes me feel... relaxed. At peace.Reading does something amazing for me. It helps me escape into a world of my own making, a world filled with love, laughter, joy, and endless happiness. A far cry from
