Behind me, Leonard mumbles, “Idiot.”

I smile and walk back to Adrian’s suite.

Once inside, I grin, grab a bag of dog treats from the kitchen counter, and give Brando double the usual amount.

“Good boy.”

At least a dozen outfits are spread out on my bed as I think about which one to wear for tonight’s exhibition. I barely finished the last painting in time. Mike nearly had a panic attack when I told him I needed to make changes on the big guy and wouldn’t send it until this morning. He complained for at least ten minutes about not being able to add it to the catalog. Honestly, I’m glad. I want to see Adrian’s reaction when he sees it for the first time.

I choose black leather pants and a green silk shirt, then put them on the chair, leaving the rest of the clothes on the bed. I haven’t slept in this room for a while. All my things are here, but other than sleeping in Adrian’s bed, I don’t plan to move in with him. Okay, that sounds weird since, well, I do live with him.

  • The Mafia King's Temporary Wife    Dangerously Exciting

    MIKHAILI’m buttoning Lena’s sweater when I hear soft steps coming. I look up and see Mia standing in the doorway. She looks around, walks to the dresser, takes the box with Lena’s hair ties, and looks at me with a question in her eyes. I look at the box in her hands, then back at her face. Mia sighs, points to the box, then to herself, and then to Lena.She wants to do my daughter’s hair, and that makes my heart feel tight.“Lenochka (a Russian nickname for Lena), do you want Mia to do your hair today?”Lena’s head quickly goes up and she smiles big. “Yes! I want lots of braids, like Noemi from day care. Mia, Mia, do you know how to make lots of braids? Daddy only knows pigtails.”Mia tries not to laugh at my daughter’s talking too much but can’t stop smiling. She sits on the bed next to me and motions for Lena to sit on her lap. I watch as Mia takes a small piece of hair and braids it into a thin braid.Then she moves to the next piece. She does this until there are at least fifteen

    MIAI lean back and lift my eyebrows at him. Why would that be a problem? I guess he sees the answer on my face because he nods and looks at the phone again.“Lena’s daily plan?” he asks and looks at me, a little surprised.I nod.“She wakes up at seven. Tia comes to take her to day care and brings her back around three. They eat lunch and go for a walk or to the park. Tia usually leaves around five, but she comes back in the evening to watch Lena if I have to work. Sometimes, if Tia’s granddaughters are staying with her, she takes Lena to her house for a sleepover. Like last night.”He puts the phone on the table and nods at it. “Any more questions?”I shake my head.“Okay, let’s eat.”My strange husband goes to the kitchen and takes out plates from the cupboard. I get up to help him.MIKHAILI watch Mia as she picks up the plates and forks, carries them to the table, then comes back for the glasses. She took the news that I have a child better than I thought. I didn’t tell her befor

  • The Mafia King's Temporary Wife     The Secret He Kept

    MIKHAIL It took me almost an hour to calm down enough to talk. If I had asked her while we were still near her father’s house, I probably would have turned the car around and gone back to kill that bastard. Mia is staring ahead. Her eyes look blank, like she’s trying to decide if she should answer me or not. After a few seconds, she picks up her phone, types something, and shows it to me. "He wanted me to spy on the Bratva. I said no.” That’s not a surprise. I expected something like that. “Why did you say no?” She lifts one eyebrow, types again, and hands me the phone. “I’m not suicidal.” “Smart choice.” I reach out and lightly touch her cheek. Her skin is soft. It doesn’t bother me. Actually, I like it. I brush her cheek again, this time with the back of my hand. The red mark on her face is almost gone. I should’ve killed that bastard anyway. Mia is looking at me strangely as I touch her cheek. I can’t tell what her expression means. Maybe she’s surprised or con

  • The Mafia King's Temporary Wife     Facing The Fury Of A Killer's Wife

    MIA I stop at the bottom of the stairs and turn to face my older sister. She’s standing with her hands on her hips, looking at me like she hates me. Allegra has always hated my guts and says mean things all the time. She did it even when we were kids. Angelo once said she was jealous of me, but that makes no sense. Allegra is the perfect daughter. Everyone loves her. I’m the black sheep, pretty, but broken. I couldn’t even talk for years. I take two steps toward her and stop. I grab her hand, look at her bare finger, and pretend to feel sad. Then I pat the back of her hand and lift mine to show my wedding ring. After that, I give her the middle finger and walk away. I know what hurts Allegra most, and I’m not afraid to use it. Her biggest dream has always been to get married. She started planning her wedding in fourth grade. So me getting married first feels like the worst thing in the world to her. I know I was being childish, but I couldn’t help it. She can’t talk badly a

  • The Mafia King's Temporary Wife     Five Minutes In Enemy Territory

    MIA My annoying brother refused to answer me. I rolled my eyes and dropped my phone. The next message is from Mom. I open it, and a long message fills the screen. I groan, make the letters smaller, and start reading her long text. Mom: You looked so beautiful yesterday. Everyone said it. That dress was worth every dollar. Catalina’s mom asked where we bought it. She wants to get the same one for Catalina. She’s always copying us. I don’t like her. It’s sad everything ended so fast. I still can’t believe Fredo was shot and died. But he was over eighty. Better him than someone else. Did you see that Luca Rossi came alone? Simona never liked me, but missing your wedding? I never understood how those two got together. It’s sad. Luca is a good man, and she’s not. Someone should tell him to cut his hair. He’s a capo, it’s not right. I close my eyes and sigh. My mom always cares about strange things. It’s not really her fault. If she wasn’t married to a capo, I think she might’ve b

  • The Mafia King's Temporary Wife     Sleeping In The Lion's Den

    MIKHAIL This would be the perfect chance and a brutal man like Thomas Russo wouldn’t miss it. Still, I don’t think that’s what’s going on. I’ve seen how Mia looks at her father. The hate in her eyes is real. You can’t fake that. Mia has very clear, honest eyes. I wonder if I should tell her I know sign language. It would help us talk better. But if I do, I’ll have to explain things I’m not ready to talk about yet. So for now, we’ll just have to get by without it. MIA When I feel stressed, I either clean or cook. There is nothing to clean here. Everything is already clean. So, I go to the kitchen and start looking for things to make my quick cheese pasta. Earlier, I took a shower in the guest bathroom and walked around Mikhail’s home. The apartment is very big, it takes up the whole top floor of the building. It has a modern look with lots of glass, dark wood, and white colors. I looked at the kitchen first. It is amazing, like a real chef’s kitchen, and full of food. I s
