The Mafia King and His Bride Chapter 98. Safe For Now
* Miranda *The next morning didn't feel real. As I woke before the light fully settled into the room, my body already tense, conditioned, waiting for footsteps outside the door, for the quiet shift of guards changing rotations, for the subtle reminder that I wasn't alone even when I was supposed to be.But nothing came for me—just stillness of the sorroundings. I stayed in bed longer than I expected.Not out of laziness. Out of caution. Because peace, I had learned, was often just a pause before something worse would come.Eventually, I moved. Slowly and carefully. Like the silence might break if I wasn't gentle with it. The floor was cool beneath my feet as I stepped out of the room, my senses stretching outward, searching for something out of place.There wasn't anything. There is no voices. No tension humming beneath the walls. Just the faint scent of coffee drifting from somewhere deeper inside and I followed it. Because some habits don't disappear overnight.He was already awake
The Mafia King and His Bride Chapter 97. New Place
* Miranda *The first thing I noticed wasn't the silence. It was the absence of fear, finally, I'm not afraid anymore. For weeks, even when everything looked calm, there had always been something underneath it, watchful eyes, measured footsteps outside doors, the invisible weight of a man who believed he owned everything I touched. Even when I slept, it never really left me.But here in this new place. It was gone. The car slowed before I realized how far we'd gone. I hadn't asked questions after that. Not because I didn't want to know, but because for the first time, I trusted where he was taking me more than where I had been.When the door opened, cool air slipped inside, softer than the city's sharp edge. It was different, I stepped out slowly.The place didn't look like anything Salvatore would ever choose. That was the point. No towering glass walls. No excessive display of wealth meant to intimidate. No staff waiting in lines, watching, and reporting.Just enough space. Breathin
The Mafia King and His Bride Chapter 96. Perfect Time
* Lorenzo *By the time she walked out of my office, nothing about my life resembled what it had been a few hours ago. Now everything was exactly where I needed it to be. I reached for my phone without hesitation."Armand." He picked up on the second ring. "You saw her."He knew me too well."She came to me," I replied, my voice steady. "Which means we're out of time."A brief silence on the other end. Then, sharper now, "Then we move tonight.""No," I said immediately. "Tomorrow. As planned.""You're certain?" Armand asked. "Salvatore's men are tightening rotations. If they notice even a flicker.""They won't," I cut in. "Because they're still watching the wrong door."That was the advantage that My father trusted. And Miranda had just broken all of it. I moved toward the desk, pulling open the concealed drawer beneath it. Inside, a secured tablet lit up at my touch, revealing the layout I had memorized weeks ago, every corridor, every blind spot, every failure point in the system."
The Mafia King and His Bride Chapter 95. A Quick Embrace
* Miranda *I wasn't supposed to be here. That thought pulsed in the back of my mind with every quiet step I took down the private corridor, my hand pressed lightly against the wall as if it could steady the way my heart refused to. The clinic visit had gone as it always did, watched, and reported. Salvatore's men had grown comfortable with routine.That was their weakness. They thought I was predictable now. They didn't notice the moment I lingered too long in the restroom. The moment I slipped out through the secondary exit instead of returning to the waiting car. They didn't notice the car I took that wasn't mine.And they definitely didn't expect me to come here.Lorenzo's office in the city. Now, I stood outside his door for a second longer than necessary, my fingers hovering just above the handle. My pulse was loud, as if it might give me away. It had been weeks of silence, of waiting, of telling myself not to hope.And yet here I was. Hope had always been my worst weakness. I p
The Mafia King and His Bride Chapter 94. A Help
* Lorenzo *There were places even my father didn't think to look. That was the only advantage I had left. I stood in the dim corridor beneath one of the older properties, one of the first acquisitions Salvatore ever made when he was still building his empire instead of ruling it. Back then, he believed in discretion. In escape routes or contingency plans.Now he believed in control, which meant he had forgotten. My hand slid along the cold concrete wall as I moved deeper, the faint echo of my footsteps swallowed by the narrow passage. The air smelled untouched, dust, metal, no guards or cameras. I had spent the last two weeks pretending obedience. Sitting across from him. Listening, and Signing what he put in front of me. Playing the son he wanted. All while mapping everything he thought I wasn't. Every movement tracked. Every routine memorized. Every weak point noted.And this. This was the only one that mattered. I reached the end of the passage and stopped in front of a steel doo
The Mafia King and His Bride Chapter 93. Waiting and Enduring
* Miranda *Weeks passed, I still believed he would come. Not because it was easy, but because it was Lorenzo. He wasn't built for obedience the way his father wanted him to be. Because I had seen the way his restraint cracked, the way his control slipped whenever I was involved. I held onto that version of him like something solid.So I waited. Morning turned into evening. Evening into long, silent nights where the city lights outside the penthouse windows flickered like distant promises that never reached me.Every sound became something to hope for. By the third week, I understood.This wasn't neglect. Salvatore wasn't keeping Lorenzo away because he could. He was doing it because it would hurt. And because he expected me to break first.Still I waited. Even when I told myself not to.That morning felt different. I didn't know why at first.Maybe it was the way the air shifted. Or the way the guards outside moved, subtle, but not the same rhythm I had memorized.My fingers tightene
The Mafia King and His Bride Chapter 17. Sleepless
* Lorenzo *I shouldn't have kissed her. That truth followed me like a shadow as I left the mansion. Now, I couldn't get her out of my head. So I kissed my father's wife. Now what?The thought made my jaw tighten until it hurt. I could still feel it, the way she softened instantly, like she'd been

* Lorenzo *She looked lonely. That was the first thought that hit me as I stood there, the door still open behind me, the smell of whiskey cutting through the familiar scent of polished wood and leather. The next second was worse.She was here.Miranda on a barstool that had no business holding so

* Miranda *The place is so wide, I realized the moment we broke into the open land. I can't guess how many acres of land they owned but I heard from my father that De Luca family is extremely wealthy.The mansion disappeared behind us, swallowed by trees and distance, and all that remained was win

* Lorenzo *I was still standing there when her bedroom door closed, the echo of it lingering longer in my ears than it should have. Which made me wonder if touring her on horseback is a good idea. Idiot.I told myself I was irritated because she'd disappeared without telling anyone. Because this
