The Beauty and Her Dangerous Mafia Lord Chapter 40: The Child of Chaos
Mikhail’s face went white as he read the note. He turned to Bella, eyes blazing. “Is it true?”Bella stood frozen in the middle of the secure room. Her hands shook at her sides. The note in his hand felt like it had burned everything they had built in one second.She took a deep breath. Her voice came out small. “Yes.”Mikhail stared at her. The paper crinkled in his fist. “You’re pregnant.”She nodded. Tears filled her eyes. “Eight weeks. I took the test a few days ago. I was going to tell you. I just… I didn’t know how.”He took one step closer. Then another. His hand reached out and touched her stomach like he was afraid it might break.“Our baby,” he said. The words sounded strange coming from him. Like he was testing them.Bella’s tears spilled over. “I was scared. After everything that happened with the gala and the warehouse… I didn’t want to make things harder for you.”Mikhail pulled her into his arms. He held her so tight she could barely breathe. His body shook just a littl
The Beauty and Her Dangerous Mafia Lord Chapter 39: The Trap Springs
Bella kept her eyes closed even after Mikhail spoke. His hand rested warm on her lower belly. She could feel the question in his touch. He knew something was wrong. He always knew.She opened her eyes and looked at him. “I’m just tired. That’s all.”He studied her face for a long moment. Then he kissed her softly. “Okay. But when you’re ready to talk, I’m here.”She nodded and curled closer to him. For now, that was enough.The next few days passed in a strange kind of quiet. Mikhail spent most of his time in meetings. Bella stayed in the penthouse. She ate when he asked her to. Slept when he told her to. But every time she was alone, she touched her stomach and thought about the two pink lines.One afternoon Viktor came upstairs. He looked serious.“Boss,” he said. “We have movement. Rossi’s men are sniffing around the old warehouse again. They think we’re keeping Bella’s father there.”Mikhail stood up from the table. “Good. Let them come. We’ll be ready.”Bella watched from the doo
The Beauty and Her Dangerous Mafia Lord Chapter 38: Positive Proof
Bella stayed pressed against Mikhail’s chest for a long time. His words kept echoing in her head. And you’re carrying my child. Choose your side, malyshka. She hadn’t told him yet. The test was still hidden in the drawer, but she could feel the truth growing inside her every single day.“I need some air,” she said quietly.Mikhail kissed the top of her head. “I’ll come with you.”“No,” she said fast. “I just want a minute alone. Please.”He looked at her for a second, then nodded. “Don’t go far.”She walked out to the balcony and stared at the city lights. Her hand rested on her stomach again. She still couldn’t believe it. Eight weeks. The doctor’s office was the only place that could confirm it for sure.The next morning she waited until Mikhail went downstairs for a meeting. She put on a simple hoodie and jeans, pulled her hair into a ponytail, and slipped out through the service elevator. Viktor was busy. No one stopped her.She took a cab to a small clinic on the edge of the city
The Beauty and Her Dangerous Mafia Lord Chapter 37: The Bait Is Set
Mikhail stared at the crumpled note in his hand for a long time. His jaw stayed tight. He finally looked up at Viktor.“Someone wants us to think this is over,” he said. “It’s only beginning.”Viktor nodded. “What do you want to do?”Mikhail stood up. “Bring me Bella’s father. Alive. We’re going to use him.”Bella was in the bedroom when Mikhail came to find her. She sat on the edge of the bed, hands in her lap. She looked up when he walked in.“What happened?” she asked.He sat next to her. Took her hand. “We found the man who was leaking information. He’s dead. Staged like a suicide.”She squeezed his hand. “Are you sure it’s over?”“No,” he said. “That’s why we’re doing this. We’re bringing your father in. He’s going to help us draw Rossi out.”Bella pulled her hand back slowly. “What do you mean?”“He knows things about Rossi’s operation. We’re going to use him as bait.”She stood up fast. “No. You can’t do that to him.”Mikhail stayed sitting. “He sold you twice, Bella. He doesn’
The Beauty and Her Dangerous Mafia Lord Chapter 36: The Framed Traitor
Bella stayed in Mikhail’s arms for a long time after he said those words. She could feel his heart beating fast against her cheek. His hand still cupped her face, thumb brushing away the last of her tears.“I mean it,” he said quietly. “One more mistake from your father and I won’t hold back.”She nodded against his chest. “I know.”He kissed the top of her head. “Go rest. I have to handle some things downstairs.”She didn’t want him to leave, but she let him go. When the door closed behind him, she sat on the bed and put both hands on her stomach. The two pink lines from the test were still fresh in her mind. She hadn’t told him yet. She couldn’t. Not while everything felt like it was hanging by a thread.Down in the war room, Mikhail stood at the head of the table. Viktor and two other men waited.“We found the leak,” Viktor said. “One of the drivers from the last run. His name is Alexei. We brought him in.”Mikhail’s eyes narrowed. “Where is he now?”“Down in The Vault,” Viktor sai
The Beauty and Her Dangerous Mafia Lord Chapter 35: The Father’s Reckoning
Bella sat on the edge of the bed with the pregnancy test still in her hand. Two pink lines stared back at her. She felt numb. The chain around her neck felt heavier than ever. She slipped the test back into the drawer and closed it fast.Mikhail was downstairs in another meeting. She had time.She walked to the closet and pulled out her old hoodie. The burner phone was still hidden in the pocket. She turned it on. The message from her father was still there. She read it again. Her hands started shaking.The door opened.Mikhail walked in. He stopped when he saw her sitting there with the phone.“What’s that?” he asked.Bella tried to hide it behind her back. Too late.He crossed the room in three steps. Took the phone from her hand. Looked at the screen.His face changed. First confusion. Then anger.He read the old messages. The ones where her father told her to come home. The ones where he said the Lobanovs would burn everything.Mikhail’s voice came out low. “You kept this from me?
The Beauty and Her Dangerous Mafia Lord Chapter 34: Sickness and Secrets
Bella woke up with her stomach turning. The feeling hit her fast. She sat up slowly, one hand pressed to her belly. Mikhail was still asleep beside her, one arm thrown over her waist. His breathing was deep and even.She slipped out of bed carefully. Her legs felt weak. The room spun a little as sh
The Beauty and Her Dangerous Mafia Lord Chapter 33: Jealous Fire
Mikhail stared at his phone screen. The photo showed Bella sleeping peacefully in their bed. The message underneath read: “We’re already inside.”His hand tightened around the phone until the screen cracked. He looked up at Bella, who was still catching her breath from their quick moment in the cor
The Beauty and Her Dangerous Mafia Lord Chapter 32: War Declared
Bella stayed in Mikhail’s lap for a long time. His arms were still around her, warm and steady. She kept the USB hidden in her fist behind his back, pressing it so hard the edges dug into her palm. She couldn’t tell him. Not yet.Mikhail kissed the side of her head. “You feel better?”She nodded ag
The Beauty and Her Dangerous Mafia Lord Chapter 31: The Video That Burns
Bella sat on the edge of the bed with the USB drive burning a hole in her palm. The gala dress still clung to her body, red fabric wrinkled from Mikhail’s hands. She stared at the small black stick like it could bite her.She should wait. She should tell him first.Instead she stood up, walked to t
