Chandria’s POV

And he wasn't alone.

He was with her.

“Well, look who it is. It's finally nice to see you here, Chandria…”

She looked me up and down, slow and deliberate, from my hair to my shoes. I felt like a thing being inspected and judged. My insides twisted up.

“Catherine,” the name left my mouth as if I had tasted poison.

My heart was running wild, hammering against my ribs like it was desperate to escape.

Of all the places in the world, of all the times, this was when I saw them.

Daniel had his arm wrapped around her waist. His hand rested right below a visible curve. I stared at the faint bump forming on her belly.

My eyes snapped back to Daniel. He wasn't even looking at me. He was looking past me, staring straight at the man I was with.

“Daniel Collins,” Aiden said. His voice was too relaxed, too casual, like he was greeting an old friend instead of a bitter enemy. “Just the guy I wanted to kill.”

Catherine flinched. Her eyes went wide for a second before she quickly regained

    Chandria’s POV“Aiden,” I called softly.He didn’t answer. He just shot me a cold stare from the side, and that was enough to tell me he wasn’t in the mood. His jaw was tight when we got back to the store and picked up the equipment.“Just… forget what I asked you,” he mumbled, looking away. “Let’s just go home. We already got what we needed. You did your checkup. And in a few days, I’ll be gone anyway. I’ll go on that trip and leave you.”His words felt like I was stabbing my own chest.“Aiden…”He didn’t listen. He walked off quickly toward the exit, and of course, I followed him.By the time we got inside the car, the air was thick. He started the engine without saying a single word. The sound filled the empty space between us. I sat there quietly, my hands resting on my lap, trying not to make things worse.He gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles turning white.“Aiden… I actually do—”“Enough, Chandria!” he shouted, making me flinch. His voice was sharp, rough with ang

  • Taken By A Dangerous Mafia Lord   Chapter 35: Unexpected Encounters

    Chandria’s POVAiden got out first. He walked around to my side and opened the door for me. I don’t know why, but that small gesture made my heart raised.I was about to head straight toward the entrance when I suddenly felt his hand grab mine. It wasn’t rough, but it was firm enough to make me stop. Our fingers kind of just… fit together. For a second, I froze. When I looked at him, he was already looking at me—like he was seeing something that made him think.His eyes were deep, quiet, and honestly, I didn’t know what to do. There was something about his gaze that made me lose all words.“I just want to make sure you stay beside me.”I nodded, pretending it was no big deal, but my heart disagreed. It was pounding so fast I thought he could hear it.Inside the mall, everything was loud—people were talking, shoes tapping against the floor, the music playing. But somehow, all I could think about was his hand still holding mine.Then I noticed it.The looks.A lot of women were glancing

  • Taken By A Dangerous Mafia Lord   Chapter 34: The First Heartbeat

    Chandria's POV“Mr. and Mrs. Morelli, are you here?”The nurse’s voice echoed in the hallway.Aiden stood up right away. “We’re here,” he said. He looked at me and helped me stand, his hand gently supporting my arm.We walked into the doctor’s office. The smell hit me instantly—antiseptic, medicine, vitamins, and that cold air from the air conditioner that made my skin tingle. Everything felt too clean.The doctor looked up from her desk and smiled politely. “Come in, please. You can sit here.”She pointed at the chair in front of her desk, so I sat down. Aiden took the seat right across from me, his leg bouncing lightly. He looked like he didn’t know what to do with his hands.“So,” the doctor said, flipping through a chart, “how many months are you pregnant?”I took a second before answering. “Around two months. Going on three.”She nodded while jotting something down on her clipboard. That’s when it hit me—it’s only been a few months since I met Aiden. Just a few months, but it fee

  • Taken By A Dangerous Mafia Lord   Chapter 33: Unspoken

    Chandria’s POV“Chandria, talk to me.”His voice followed me. I didn’t even glance at him. I just kept walking, my hand pressed against my stomach. Every word he said was still echoing in my head, like they got stamped there. I couldn’t bear to hear another one. So I pretended I didn’t. I just kept moving.My chest was tight, and I could barely breathe. I clutched my purse with one hand and adjusted the dress he gave me.Before I could take another step, he moved in front of me, blocking my way. His shadow fell over me, and I froze. He was looking down, his jaw tight, eyes burning with anger.“I said, talk to me! Why aren’t you even hearing me?”His tone made me flinch. I swallowed hard, forcing myself to stay calm. “Oh, I’m sorry,” I said quietly. “I’m not feeling well. It’s probably my morning sickness.”I lied straight to his face.For a second, something flickered in his eyes—shock, maybe worry—but it was gone as fast as it came. The coldness came back, sharper than before.“In th

    Chandria’s POV“This is who I am, Chandria. And there’s nothing you can do to change that.”His voice cut through the air. It turned cold. It was as if he didn’t want me anywhere near his world, as if my presence itself was an intrusion.“But, Aiden… I’m only saying this because I care about you. You can’t keep doing things like this.” My voice trembled, but I forced the words out. “I saw what you did to that man in the basement—”“You went there without my permission?” he interrupted coldly. His eyes darkened.It felt like I had struck something deep inside him. I shook my head, stepping back. “No, that’s not it—I didn’t mean to invade your privacy, I just—”“But you did it anyway,” he said, voice low and dangerous. He took a slow step toward me, and my breath caught.“Aiden, please, you need to listen—”“No, you need to listen to me, Chandria.”Before I could move, his hand shot out, gripping my neck. My heart stopped.“Do you really think you can change me? Just because I let you s
