“I am betrothed to marry you…” Esmé mumbled, shivering from her shoulders down her spine. Maybe it was because her clothes were soaked from the rain or the cold stare that the man was grazing towards her—piercing, cold, and judging. "You’re sexy underneath those already-drenched clothes. I could understand if you wanted to tempt me. But you’re crazy enough to tell me you’re marrying me,” he said with a smirk. She never thought she’d be on her knees in front of any man, crying and begging for him to take her in. Left with no options but to beg for shelter at the hands of the most dangerous mafia in their city, Esmé lets go of shame and pride just to talk to the man who is promised to her. With no parents to support her claim that she is betrothed to the billionaire mafia praised by many, she only has her words which he labeled as lies. But Esmé won’t give up that easily, especially when she has dedicated her life to honor her parent’s words before they were assassinated. It was then that Esmé knew she had to stay alive to avenge her parent’s death. But nothing comes easy, especially when it’s a forced marriage to a man who doesn’t want her. By virtue of courage, trust, and seduction—Esmé will go to the depths of hell just so she’ll get his attention, devotion, love... and never let her go.

The Billionaire Mafia's Rejected Wife 80. THE START OF WAR
THE DAYS PASSED by and it was not easy at all. Each day I had to wake up early and train the whole day. I will first hit the gym which is luckily just at the back of this building where we had been staying.I also made it a routine to cook for Callan and his men on some days when we haven’t ordered groceries from outside. Aakil and his brother would help me as well as Alec.Oh, he joined the team on the second day of our stay. Saying he still had to pack and bid goodbye to his parents—Aunt Yna hesitate for him to join the mission. But Alec was determined, saying he had something to prove to himself. This mission was what he needed to unleash his full potential.But he joked one time, saying I needed somebody who could protect me as we execute the mission. I countered his joke with the truth: “I have a husband who would die for me.”I said that out of full devotion to Callan because I would do the same for him.Alec just shrugged his head and mumbled. “Still, I had to be there.”I smil
The Billionaire Mafia's Rejected Wife 79. HIT THE TARGET
WE ALREADY CHECKED out from the hotel before the sun could even rise up in the east. Callan made a phone call to have someone who can drive us to a firing range in the next town.When I asked whether the drive would be long, Callan told me that I could sleep on his shoulders so that I could get more sleep.Right, he was smirking when he said that to me. Truly insinuating about something we did all night that made us awake for hours way more than the time we had actually slept.I jokingly hit his rib and he just laughed.Who would have thought that the man that I once had known as arrogant and reserved, would be acting like this with me? There’s no denying anymore. We are actually madly in love.I wonder, if there were no chaos outside our lives would become this close and stronger?The same car that brought us here at the hotel yesterday arrived outside of the hotel with Aakil walking to us to get our luggage and secure it inside the trunk of the car.With a few greetings, I got in th
The Billionaire Mafia's Rejected Wife 78. FIGHT THE ENEMY
I WOKE UP in the middle of the night with the feeling of the soft sheets covering my body. My hands roamed beside me on the bed and noticed there was an empty space. I looked up to try to look for Callan in the middle of the darkened room. But I did not see him.My heart started hammering inside my chest, I looked through our clothes on the floor and it was still there. But there were no traces of Callan. I pulled the sheets and wrapped my body with them.I carefully walked toward the bathroom but then right on the balcony, I saw a silhouette.“You’re awake,” I mumbled as I went to Callan. He was smoking a cigarette.“Just couldn’t sleep,” Callan replied to me as he looked at the scenery in front of us. Judging from the city lights, I guess it has just passed midnight since the city lit up with lights from establishments.Callan wasn’t wearing anything other than a towel wrapped around his waist. “What troubles you?” I asked, my voice soft and gentle. I leaned onto the metal railing.
The Billionaire Mafia's Rejected Wife 77. I LOVE YOU
THE CAR SPEEDS OFF like it was rushing to just get to somewhere. In the backseat with Callan’s hand resting on my thigh, I could hear the loud erratic beats of my heart synchronizing with his.We were sitting so close to each other that it would be impossible to keep our hands to ourselves. I hugged his arm and rested my head on his chest and he was caressed the top of my head.There was nothing else left to do at the barracks. While Alec and Uncle Mariano decided to stay for a while to talk to Don Thoron about some matters, I knew my part in the meeting had been enough earlier.I can’t pretend I know the entire deal that’s happening in the organization, but at least I can appreciate what Callan has done.We were dropped off by the driver to a hotel, far from the town. I believe it is for safety reasons. It would be better to stay away from places where Callan might be recognized by anybody with ill intentions.Callan opened the car door for me. “Thank you,” I muttered, smiling.We we
The Billionaire Mafia's Rejected Wife 76. BEFORE THE STORM
CALLAN’S EXPRESSION softened and he squeezed my mind. He did not say anything immediately instead, his lips moved but was still thinking very carefully. “She could fire a gun,” somebody spoke breaking the silence inside the room. Two men stepped inside the room. It was Capo Mariano and his son Alec. I stood up from my chair and smiled. “Oh my god, you’re here.” “Sorry, we were late,” Alec shrugged his shoulders apologetically. But extended his arms for a quick embrace. On the other side of the table, Capo Mariano shook hands with his peers who immediately offered him a chair. “Where have you been? I didn’t see you earlier.” Callan answered my question instead of Alec. “They were asked to keep a look out at the highway where father and my relatives passed through.” He also stood up and nodded at Alec as a greeting. “I can look after Esme when we’ll be in Italy when we assassinate that fucked up ass Aldo Cato.” “I can protect my wife,” Callan said without hesitation. The men a
The Billionaire Mafia's Rejected Wife 75. MEET THE COUNCIL
AS THE GENTLEMAN around the table gathered ideas, I kept my silence. Instead of blabbering just anything to join the conversation.Callan had joined in and laid down the status quo based on his informant. I was astounded by the way he managed to capture the attention of around 10 men to listen to him with a commanding presence and charisma.Soon, I realized that the ravij organization was filled with decent-looking people but with the blackest of morality as none of them were innocent. I did not feel comfortable right in an instant, nor will I ever.But I knew that we were conspiring against a common enemy, and it was better to connive with the lesser evil from my perspective this time.Listening to the men leading the conversation, I’ve had the chance to observe them—from the way they look and present themselves. They looked a little ragged with messy hair but had huge accessories around their neck and wrists. They have huge watches as well. Others were leaning onto their chairs with
The Billionaire Mafia's Rejected Wife 74. WHO DESERVES DEATH
I STILL COULDN’T look at the man, my heart was still getting pricked by pity but the decision was not on me. It wasn’t my people that have died because of a traitor. And the fact that because of this man’s betrayal, Callan’s mother was killed among many others? The pity I felt was slowly covered by anger.We stood at the portion of the room where enough lights had been turned on. Callan revealed himself to everybody and they all paused—the man from beating their prisoner others from training onto the dumbbells from a corner and others from cleaning out their guns.The surroundings were dominated by men, but there were also women that I see. Around my age, if not older than me.A door opened right in front of us. The old man addressed as the consigliere of the mafia organization revealed himself and had invited us in.“The underboss has arrived along with his esposa.”Only Callan and I walked inside the room held open by the consigliere. There were several men gathered at the long tab
The Billionaire Mafia's Rejected Wife 73. THE TRAITOR
WITH A NOD, I looked away to gaze at the window on my side at the backseat. Callan was caressing the side of my head as I was leaning onto his shoulders. The drive towards the barracks as he called it was long. It took around three hours on the road, non-stop. It was a miracle that I kept my mouth together and prevented myself from asking questions. A phone rang inside the car, I was sure it was Callan’s phone as soon as I heard the familiar ring. He moved and I backed away from him a little. As he positioned his phone to his ears, I heard the faint voice of the person on the other line. “Did father already arrive?” Callan asked the person on the call. I observed his movements in silence, when I looked ahead onto the passenger’s seat, there was Aakil just looking ahead onto the road. The driver had been someone unfamiliar, but looking at his face he had the same aura as Aakil, eyes on board and composure intact. Several minutes passed by before Callan dropped the call and retur
The Billionaire Mafia's Rejected Wife 72. GUNSHOTS AND SAFETY
THE FUNERAL SERVICE of Callan’s mother began. The chapel hall was filled will silence with only the sound of the service echoing in the surroundings. Hands intertwined with each other, I leaned onto Callan’s shoulders. I caressed his wrist hoping that would be enough to ease his pain. We then rode the car to the coast in the next town. There was a beach that Callan’s mother truly loved. Don Thoron announced that his wife would want to be in that exact place for the last time. It was afternoon when we arrived there. The sun strikes our skin but not so intensely that it hurts. To others, it may just be a normal sunny day. But to the Chevalier and Ravij family, this was one of the saddest days in their life—especially for Callan. They walked towards the coast, looking below where the waves crushed through the rocks. The wind blew my hair as I kept looking at Callan standing beside his father. He was holding the gold urn. His father lifted the lid and emptied the ashes into the ocean.
