Bella’s POV.

The morning drifted by slowly. Liam had been busy in his study for most of the day, leaving me to lounge around the bedroom with a book I wasn’t really reading. My thoughts kept circling back to Lily. The way she smirked, the way her eyes lingered on Liam as if he belonged to her, the way her tone carried that faint insult hidden under polite words.

I didn’t trust her, not even for a second.

Still, Liam had asked me to get along with her, at least until the weekend. Three days, he said. Three days of pretending. I could manage that much. But deep inside, I knew I wouldn’t stay quiet if she crossed the line again.

By late afternoon, I decided to go downstairs. Liam’s voice carried faintly through the hall, and I followed it until I reached the living room. He was standing near the window, phone in his hand, while Lily sat curled up on the couch with a fake sweetness spread across her face.

The moment I stepped in, her eyes flickered over me quickly before she plastered on

  • THE MAFIA BOSS PLUS-SIZED OBSESSION.   Chapter 48

    Liam’s pov.It had been a few weeks since the wedding, and life felt almost peaceful for the first time in a long while.The mornings had their rhythm now. Bella would wake up before me, her soft movements brushing against the sheets, her quiet hums while she picked what to wear for the day. She usually left early for the hospital site, and I’d head to my office not long after. There was something comforting about that — both of us chasing our goals, yet still finding our way back to each other every night.Today started no differently.I sat behind my desk, flipping through the papers Axel dropped off. Numbers, deals, names, the usual routine. The air smelled faintly of strong coffee and cigarette smoke. Everything was fine until, somewhere between signing the second contract and answering a call, I felt a sharp pain behind my eyes.It came out of nowhere.I blinked hard, pressing my thumb against my temple. It wasn’t the normal kind of headache that faded after a few seconds. This o

    Liam’s pov.The first thing I felt that morning was warmth.Her warmth.Bella’s head was resting on my chest, her hair spilling over my arm. For a few seconds, I didn’t move. I just lay there, listening to her slow breathing, watching the soft light from the window fall across her face.I ran a hand down her back slowly, careful not to wake her. She shifted a little, her fingers brushing against my side. Even in her sleep, she reached for me like her body already knew where it belonged.I smiled to myself. I didn’t smile often, not like this. But today, I couldn’t stop.Last night had been… perfect. Not in the loud, dramatic way people imagine. But in the quiet way that sinks into you and stays. And for the first time in a long time, I didn’t feel like a man at war.I glanced at the clock beside the bed. It was just past seven. The sun had already climbed high enough to fill the room with a soft glow. Bella stirred a little, her hand sliding across my chest, but she didn’t wake.I wa

    Bella’s pov.The ride back to the house was quiet. The city lights blurred through the tinted window, golden and soft, like the whole world had slowed down for us. I sat beside Liam, my fingers laced with his, the weight of the ring on my hand still strange but beautiful.He hadn’t said much, just held my hand, his thumb tracing small circles against my skin. Every time I looked at him, I found him already looking at me — like he couldn’t believe I was really there.When we reached the house, it was empty and quiet, the guards keeping a respectful distance outside.Liam opened the car door for me, his hand steady and warm. “You okay?” he asked softly.I nodded. “Just… nervous, I guess.”He smiled faintly. “Me too.”That made me laugh. “You? The man who doesn’t get nervous?”“Only when it comes to you,” he said.Something in my chest fluttered. He wasn’t teasing — his tone was honest, calm, and gentle.Inside, the lights were dim. The living room smelled faintly of roses and wine from

    Liam’s povThe hall was alive with gold light and music. Crystal chandeliers hung high above, their glow spilling over tables dressed in white and silver. Glasses clinked, laughter echoed, and the hum of power filled the air. Every face in this room belonged to someone important, a cartel leader, a mafia boss, an heir to a dynasty. And every pair of eyes eventually turned toward us.Toward her.My wife.I couldn’t stop staring at Bella. Even in the middle of this noise, the chaos of wealth and power gathered under one roof, she was the only thing clear to me. The lace of her gown still held the light as if it had been made only for her. Her cheeks were soft pink, her lips curved in a nervous smile as she shook hands with people who had built empires from blood and gold.They looked at her with curiosity, some with respect, others with the kind of interest I didn’t like. But Bella didn’t shrink. She stood beside me, fingers brushing mine, a quiet strength in her posture. She wasn’t bor

    The church was grand, far grander than anything I ever imagined standing in. The chandeliers above glowed so brightly they seemed to swallow every shadow, making the marble floors shine. Rows of guests filled the long pews, their whispers echoing softly, mixing with the organ music that drifted through the air. I had been staring at the doors ahead of me for minutes, my heart pounding in my chest, trying to take steady breaths but failing miserably.I clutched my bouquet tighter. My hands were trembling. I told myself it was only nerves, that I wasn’t afraid. But maybe I was afraid of what this moment meant, afraid of standing in front of so many people who came from worlds I still didn’t fully understand. Mafia leaders, powerful families, people who looked at me not as Bella the woman but as the wife of Liam Knight.Yet, when the doors opened and I saw him waiting at the altar, all my fears melted away.Liam stood tall, his black tuxedo sharp against the soft white flowers decorating

  • THE MAFIA BOSS PLUS-SIZED OBSESSION.   Chapter 43

    Bella’s POV.The first thing I felt when I opened my eyes was my heart pounding in my chest. It was still dark outside, and the house was quiet, but I couldn’t sleep anymore. Today was the day. The day I would finally marry Liam.I lay there for a few minutes, staring up at the ceiling, my fingers tangled in the bedsheet. My chest rose and fell with quick breaths, and I tried to calm myself down. I had dreamed about this moment so many times, and now that it was here, it didn’t feel real.When the first light of dawn spilled into the room, I sat up. My hands were trembling as I brushed my hair back, and a nervous laugh escaped me. “I’m really getting married today,” I whispered to myself.A knock came at the door, and one of the women Liam had hired to help me get ready poked her head inside. “Good morning, Bella,” she said softly. “It’s time.”I nodded quickly, even though my stomach was twisting in knots.The next few hours passed in a blur. I was moved to a big room in the mansion
