"Aunt Liz, don't you think the man in the cafe who saved us somehow looks exactly like me," Liam asked Aunt Liz, who was preparing pasta.

In the evening, Liam talked to his mother, who said she had to go somewhere, but she said she would try to return soon. But he was feeling very anxious to meet Katherine. So, Liz said that if he kept himself calm for a while, then she would make pasta for him, and that was what she was doing.

"I didn't look that closely, to be honest, because the only thing I had noticed at that moment was the gun in his hands. I don't know how you stood with him without any fear. You didn't shout at all. You didn't try to escape. Weren't you scared?" Liz said, stopping her knife on the onion.

"No, why would I be scared. All he was doing was protecting me. He also told me to forget whatever I had seen there because he cared for me," Liam said, his tone hopeful.

Just then, cutting off his words, Liz came out of the kitchen, holding a knife in

  • One-night stand with a Ruthless Mafia; He has a son   Has pregnancy driven you crazy?

    ★★★★On the other hand, Marianne thought it would only be the guard outside of her room who would check on her, but now the number of people gathered around her made her feel like all the guards were standing in her room right now." I am tired of this shit. We have been running around with this woman since morning. Hordon, since you are in charge of her, you are going to take care of all this mess by yourself. We have other works to do," one of the guards said to Hordon, who sniggered and replied with utter disgust, "Why am I? The boss asked me to look after her, not to clean up her vomit," Hordon glanced at Marrienne, adding, "She has been on my nerves since morning. Now I wish the Boss could give me an order to shut her up.""Do you know she is a famous model? Can't you see the pretty face? She used to be on headlines because of Zac Bratva, the bloody Mafia!" Another guard added with a laugh. The greed that was oozing from his words was very disgusting."You keep so much news about

  • One-night stand with a Ruthless Mafia; He has a son   I am hungry

    ★★★★★"I am not ignoring your call or thinking of running away. Stop portraying me as a coward just because you have watched him all his life and never knew about me," Givon spat, his hand resting to his side went into fists as if he was controlling his anger.Hiding behind a dress shelf, Katherine heard him. Though it was hard to tell who the person was on the phone, Givon sounded like pressed... and forced.'Is he in debt?' Katherine thought to herself."I am not complaining but I am not pleased either. Since the moment you reached out to me, I haven't felt a single moment that it is anything but the intention you have," Givon spat, keeping his voice low. Katherine frowned. Now she felt a strong desperation to find out who the man was. From whatever she had heard it seemed that Givon was working for someone, but what work was he doing?"Yes! For God's sake, stop taking his name. He is not the only one you have. As soon as I am done, you have to declare about me," Givon saa id gruff

  • One-night stand with a Ruthless Mafia; He has a son   The mysterious phone call

    ★★★★★"I could not do much. But if we can steal a phone from one of the guards, we could make a call to your father," Marianne discussed her thought with Liam. To her, Liam wasn't like a five-year-old at all; in fact, she had never seen a child as mature as Liam at his age."Yeah!" Liam sighed, shaking his head, a disappointment flickered in his eyes which raised a question in Marianne's heart.She tilted her head to the side, adding, "Is something wrong?" "I did something a little stupid. If I had thought a little more, then perhaps we would not have to sit in this room and discuss," Liam said, looking at Marianne as he scratched his chin."May I know what this was?" Marianne waited patiently."I had injured and locked a guard in the bathroom who had taken me there, but I was so stupid. I could not think of getting the phone from his pocket. It was a horrible blunder. I was so immersed in finding my mother, this thought completely slipped out of my head," Liam rubbed his palm togeth

  • One-night stand with a Ruthless Mafia; He has a son   Your mom is fine

    ★★★★"Now what?" Liz asked Zac, "I'm forced to think that Katherine and Liam are running into some trouble. We have to act immediately," Liz said to both Zac and Jacky as she was about to cut the call when Zac stepped forward and asked, "Where is that estate of yours located?" "Mian, 73s... beside the red lake," Jacky replied. Zac looked into the space with a sharp gaze, calculating something before turning around, making his way toward the door.Liz was confused. She thought they were going to discuss about the matter, then made a plan they should start, but he left without a word."Hey, where are you going? Have you found any clues?" Liz shouted, watching Zac's retreated back. But her voice had no effect on Zac's steps, nor did he turn back even once to answer Liz; instead, Zac walked straight out through the door."What?" She remained puzzled."Where did he go?" Jacky, who was still on the call asked."How would I know? You have heard everything. I don't know. This man is very mys

  • One-night stand with a Ruthless Mafia; He has a son   There is a place

    ★★★★★The word from Jacky hung in the air like smoke after a house fire-thick, choking. Liz's heart lurched. She gripped the phone tighter. For a her mouth parted, but nothing came out. The silence caused Jacky who was other end of the phone felt confused and he asked, "Liz, are you there?" "Yeah... I am... I just don't know what to say," Liz replied, running her fingers through her hairs. "Why did she do that?""I am unlucky. I did not understand her. I did not try to know her feeling or what she was going through. Now this is what I got?" Jacky said with a exhale, the weight of his regret seeping into every word.Liz stayed quite for a moment, her heart pinched by the rawness in his voice. Then she carefully asked. "Katherine said except your mother everything is fine. Then what is troubling her?" "Yes, she was fine untill Katherine shows up with Zac. She is in love with him for a long time. I did everything to make her see her fault, but she decided to hang on the misery which

    ★★★★" I am pleased to know that you still have interest left to know about me," Givon said, turning around. He had a smile that did not touch his eyes. He was more calm that Katherine could imagine, which left an eerie feeling to Katherine.She tried to look into him, but the way he held himself back, she hardly things she could get anything from him. The way Marianne said the marriage was not all about showing Zac of or making him jealous. There was more."I am curious, not interested!" Katherine replied, folding her hands on her chest."I don't see any difference in them," Givon said, keeping the smile on his face. "It is true that the family business is not going well. We were facing difficult time." Givon paused, drawing close, "Do you know for whom we were suffering all this?"Katherine stared at Givon and remained silent. She came to know all this from Liz, but there was a person behind it, she was not aware of. "Was it his uncle? His mother used to abuse him. Maybe he was the
