The Mafia Boss's Pregnant Bride 253. You are Drunk
He’d expected to have to coax her onto the dance floor, to drag her away from her tendency to sit back and watch the world from behind a glass.But once the music caught her, Daphne leaned into it. She was wild on the dance floor—abandoning her usual strict economy of movement for something more reckless and free. Her hair slid loose around her face as she spun away and then back toward him, all hips and elbows and laughter.He liked her like this. Unguarded and free, at least for a few songs.After a while, she abandoned him completely, slipping into the spinning, laughing mass of strangers. Landon watched from the edge, a drink in hand.She was showing off, or maybe just refusing to be owned by anyone. Either way, the other bodies orbiting her didn’t bother Landon so much as the way she accepted drink after drink, finishing each in a single flick of the wrist, her skin flush with heat and alcohol.Oh boy…A short guy in a loud shirt tried to grind up behind her; she shrugged him off
The Mafia Boss's Pregnant Bride 252. Distraction
Daphne stood by the window for a long moment after Landon left, the humid air clinging to her skin, heavy and thick like the weight pressing on her chest.She glanced at the doorway where Ella had disappeared down the hall with Alma. Daphne wanted to call out, to pull her back, but something in Ella’s trusting gaze held her still.A soft knock came at the door, and Daphne’s head snapped up.Alma’s voice filtered through, gentle but firm. “Ella sleeps now. I brought clothes for you.”Daphne took the small bundle from Alma. “Thank you,” she says.Alma gave a small nod, her dark eyes lingering on Daphne for a moment before she turned and left quietly.Daphne unfolded the clothes carefully—a simple cotton dress, soft and light, perfect for the humid warmth of the villa. She held it against herself, the fabric cool and smooth.Shower did sound good right now. Daphne set the dress on the bed and moved toward the bathroom.A few minutes later, she was on her way to find the dining room.The
The Mafia Boss's Pregnant Bride 251. New Home
The airplane door was sealed with a hiss behind him.Landon stood there for a second, hand still on the latch, watching Daphne as she helped Ella settle into a seat. No wasted movement, no softness in her expression. But he saw it anyway. In the way she adjusted the seatbelt. The way she placed herself between the girl and the window, shielding her from the view outside. She didn’t even realize she was doing it.He set his gear down and moved toward the cockpit to check in with the pilot but paused when Max gave him a small nod—all clear. They were ready for takeoff.Landon turned back toward the cabin. Daphne was sitting quietly now, her head tilted back against the seat, eyes closed. Not asleep. Just…bracing.Ella sat next to her, legs swinging a little, her small hand still curled into Daphne’s. Like she was afraid letting go would mean disappearing all over again.Landon let out a slow breath and sank into the seat across from them.He leaned forward, resting his forearms on his kn

Daphne stirred, her lashes fluttering against her cheeks as consciousness crept in slowly, reluctantly.She was warm.Too warm.Her brow furrowed before she realized. Landon’s arm was still wrapped around her waist, his chest pressed snugly against her back, their legs tangled beneath the blanket like it was the most natural thing in the world.For one breathless moment, she didn’t move.She listened to the rhythm of his heartbeat.It should’ve felt wrong. Unsafe. Stupid.Instead, it felt…nice.Her body betrayed her, melting a little deeper into the space they shared.Then Landon shifted, his nose brushing lightly against the back of her neck. He mumbled something incoherent, his arm tightening ever so slightly before loosening again, instinctively holding her even in sleep.Daphne swallowed hard and forced herself to sit up.She moved carefully, trying not to wake him. But the second the mattress dipped, his eyes blinked open—sleepy, unfocused, and frustratingly fond.“You’re up,” he
The Mafia Boss's Pregnant Bride 249. Don’t Snore
Daphne closed the door to the small back room behind her. Her heart was still pounding, not from fear but from the stupid, unexpected flutter that Landon’s smile had stirred in her chest.Again.She sat down on the edge of the bed, watching Ella sleep for a long moment. The girl had finally relaxed, her body no longer curled in defense but stretched out slightly under the blanket, her breathing soft and steady.Daphne ran a hand through her hair and let out a quiet breath. She hadn’t meant to kiss him. Not really. But something about the way he looked at her…so calm, so sure, had made her want to prove him right.She pulled the extra blanket over Ella.Why did she decide to rescue her? She still wasn’t entirely sure.It wasn’t like she hadn’t seen other children being held by Father…She had. Too many. Their blank stares. Their quiet, obedient silence. Some cried. Most didn’t. Most had forgotten how.And she had walked past them. Walked away from them because survival meant not lookin
The Mafia Boss's Pregnant Bride 248. Escape
Max rolled to a stop and a hidden camera above the door blinked green.Landon stepped out first, scanning the treeline before motioning for the others. “Let’s move.”Daphne slid out, cradling Ella, who clung to her. Landon keyed in a code on a rusted panel that sprang open with a hiss. The door clicked and swung inward.They entered a narrow hallway, the air cool and dry. Lights buzzed on automatically, revealing a series of reinforced steel doors, an old map of the forest pinned to the wall, and a locked weapons cache built into the stone.“Zoya really outdid herself,” Max muttered, already heading toward the back room. “Place is clean. No heat signatures. No signs of breach.”Daphne glanced around, holding Ella close. “What was this place?”“Cold War hideout,” Landon answered, closing the door behind them. “Decommissioned decades ago. Now it’s off-grid, unlisted, and stocked with supplies.”Daphne laid Ella down gently on a cot in the corner. The girl didn’t resist, but she watched
