last update 公開日: 2026-06-20 16:31:40

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

    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

    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

    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’

    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?

    Bella stood in front of the full-length mirror while the stylist adjusted the back of her dress. The red fabric was silky and expensive. It hugged her body tight and dipped low in the back, showing off every mark Mikhail had left on her skin. Bite marks. Fingerprints. All of them on full display.“

    Bella woke up to the smell of coffee and something sweet. She opened her eyes slowly and Mikhail was already dressed, sitting on the edge of the bed with a tray in his hands. Toast, eggs, fresh fruit, and two cups of coffee.“Morning,” he said. His voice was softer than usual.She sat up, pulling t

    Bella couldn't stop looking at her hands. She kept wiping them on the hoodie, over and over and the red streaks faded but she could still feel it. Still feel the warmth that had no business being there.The man on the warehouse floor hadn't moved but she knew he wouldn't. She knew that but she kept

    Bella’s knees buckled. She grabbed the wall to stay up. The blood smear on her cheek felt sticky. Mikhail stood too close. His breath mixed with the gunpowder smell.“You can’t just…” she started.He cut her off. “I can. I do.”Viktor called from the room. “Boss? What about the girl?”Mikhail didn’
