If there was one thing I absolutely hated, it was being told what to do.

So, naturally, Kael telling me to be ready for a "lesson" at noon meant I had no intention of showing up.

Not because I was scared—hell no. I just didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of thinking he could order me around like one of his men.

Unfortunately, Kael was one step ahead of me.

At exactly noon, my door burst open without so much as a knock.

I nearly fell off my bed. “What the hell—”

Zane stood in the doorway, looking as unbothered as ever. “Boss says it’s time.”

I glared. “Tell your boss I’m busy.”

Zane didn’t even blink. “I’ll tell him, but I doubt that’ll change anything.”

Before I could argue, another voice cut in from behind him.

"Zane, don’t give her options."

I groaned before even looking.

Kael.

Of course.

He stepped into view, arms crossed, an irritatingly smug expression on his face. He was wearing all black today—black button-up, black slacks, black leather gloves tucked into his belt. He lo

  • TRAPPED IN MY MAFIA HUSBAND'S FATAL REPLAY   Chapter 36

    I felt the warmth of Kael’s lips fade as he pulled away, but his hands remained on either side of my face, his breath uneven. His forehead rested against mine, his grip firm yet uncertain—like he was holding onto something he couldn’t quite understand.I swallowed hard, my heart hammering in my chest. “Kael…”His fingers traced down my jawline, his touch featherlight. “You drive me insane,” he murmured, almost to himself. “I don’t know if I want to strangle you or keep you locked away so no one else can have you.”A wry smile tugged at my lips. “Romantic.”His eyes darkened, but there was no anger—only something far more dangerous. Fascination. Need. Possession.I reached for his wrist, my fingers brushing against the cool metal of his watch. “You kissed me.”Kael tilted his head, studying me like I was a puzzle he couldn’t quite solve. “You kissed me back.”I did. I shouldn’t have, but I did. And now, the air between us felt heavier, as if the weight of unspoken words and buried desi

  • TRAPPED IN MY MAFIA HUSBAND'S FATAL REPLAY   Chapter 35

    The hours that followed our return to the estate were unsettlingly quiet. Too quiet.I tossed and turned in bed, my mind refusing to rest despite the exhaustion weighing down on my body. I had spent lifetimes surviving, but tonight, something had shifted. The way Kael looked at me, the way his touch lingered—like he was starting to see past the secrets I refused to share.I pulled the covers over me, trying to shake the feeling, but unease settled in my bones. Something was off.Then—A sharp crack echoed through the estate.Gunfire.My body moved before my mind could catch up. I shot up from the bed, heart pounding as I reached for the dagger I had hidden beneath my pillow. The sound came from outside—close. Too close.Kael.I bolted out of the room, feet barely touching the ground as I sprinted down the hallway. The estate was in chaos. Guards moved in a frenzy, shouting orders, weapons drawn. I shoved past them, my pulse a frantic drum in my ears.The last time this happened—No. I

    The underground passage was cold and narrow, the scent of damp earth filling the air. Every step we took was cautious, the distant echo of gunfire still ringing above us. My pulse thrummed in my ears as I kept close to Kael, my fingers tingling from the adrenaline still coursing through my veins.Zane led the way, his gun drawn as he checked each turn before motioning for us to follow. The passage stretched longer than I expected, but I knew we were nearing the exit. Relief settled in my chest, but it was fleeting. We weren’t safe yet.Kael’s hand found the small of my back, guiding me forward with a touch so subtle, yet possessive, that it sent shivers down my spine. He hadn’t said much since we entered the tunnel, but I could feel the weight of his thoughts pressing down on him.Finally, the faint outline of a metal door appeared ahead. Zane tested the handle before giving a sharp nod. “Coast is clear.”Kael exhaled, then turned to me. “Stay close.”I rolled my eyes. “That’s what I’

    ---I stood in the dimly lit study, my pulse steady despite the storm brewing inside me. Kael leaned against his desk, his sharp gaze locked onto mine."You have a habit of knowing things you shouldn’t, bambina," he murmured, voice edged with suspicion. "Tell me how you knew about Petrov, and now—Vincenzo?"I met his stare head-on, willing my expression to remain unreadable. "You trust the wrong people."His jaw ticked. "And you?" He took a slow step forward, closing the distance between us. "Should I trust you?""That depends," I said smoothly, tilting my head. "Do you want to live?"A ghost of a smirk played on his lips, but there was no amusement in his eyes. "You always do this." His fingers traced the edge of the desk, a controlled gesture that hinted at his restraint. "You drop warnings and expect me to listen, but you never tell me how you know these things."I hesitated. This was dangerous territory.Kael had always been a man who demanded answers, and every time I gave him ju

    Despite the chaos brewing behind the scenes, I could feel the shift in Kael’s actions—subtle yet undeniable. He was more protective, more present, and it terrified me how easily I was starting to rely on that presence.Zane’s watchful eyes followed my every move. His presence had become a shadow, lingering in the background, assessing, calculating. I knew why Kael assigned him to keep an eye on me—he was still questioning how I knew things I shouldn't. But that didn’t mean I had to make it easy for them.Tonight, The Raven’s Nest was filled with whispers—whispers about me. Arabella and Isabella had finally made their move, and they played dirty. Headlines flooded the media, painting me as a manipulative woman, a gold digger who had seduced Kael for power. Fabricated stories of past affairs, falsified documents claiming I had ties to the Wilder Cartel—it was a full-blown smear campaign, orchestrated to destroy my place by Kael’s side.Kael had been quiet all morning, his expression unr

    Athena’s POV The scent of cigar smoke and expensive whiskey hung thick in the air, mingling with the murmurs of men who had too much power and even more to lose. The Raven’s Nest wasn’t just any casino—it was Kael’s domain. Every high roller, every dealer, every shadow in this room answered to him. And tonight, I was about to use it to my advantage. I adjusted my silk dress, ensuring the slit revealed just enough to be a distraction but not a weakness. Confidence was my best weapon, and tonight, I needed every edge I could get. Across the velvet poker table sat Senator Dario Fuentes—the corrupt politician with a taste for dirty money and an unfortunate habit of underestimating women. His eyes lingered on my exposed skin before flicking to my face, a smirk tugging at his lips. Perfect. Kael stood a few feet away, arms crossed, watching everything unfold with that unreadable expression of his. Beside him, Zane remained silent, but I could feel his gaze tracking my every movem
