She blinks, and instead of replying, she quickly turns and runs to her room. The door slams shut just as it hits me, and I feel anger rising in my stomach.

Someone must have hurt her badly for her to react like that.

Nila's POV

The clock on the nightstand shows it’s three p.m. I know I can’t stay locked in here all day. But I also can’t bring myself to go face Adrian after what happened this morning. He probably thinks I’m crazy. Even after two years, my mind is still messed up.

It was getting better. I had reached a point where I could be around big guys without freaking out. I could even talk normally, as long as they didn’t touch me. Sure, most people, especially men, are taller than me. But most of them don’t make me panic. The only men who trigger that reaction are the ones who are as tall as Peter was, with a lot of muscle.

Adrian doesn’t look like Peter, who had blonde hair and a surfer look, but they are about the same height and build. Maybe if I had been warned or knew what

  • The Mafia King's Temporary Wife     The Monster's Gentle Side

    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

  • The Mafia King's Temporary Wife    A Lover or a Spy?

    MIA When I hear the first gunshot, a strong arm grabs me around the waist. Before I know it, I’m on the floor next to Annabelle, and Mikhail is covering us with his body to protect us from the shooting. “Stay down. Go to the back door, now!” he yells over the loud noises of people screaming and more gunshots. I try to get my legs free from my dress, grab it with one hand, and crawl as fast as I can behind Annabelle to the door. When we reach the hallway, I lean against the wall and pull Annabelle into a tight hug. She is shaking hard, and her breathing is fast. I’m shaking too. I look at the door, hoping to see Mikhail, but he’s not there. There are more gunshots, then everything goes quiet. All I can hear now is people yelling and screaming. After a few seconds, I go back to the door and peek inside. The place is a mess. People are running to the other doors, pushing each other, and not caring about anyone else. I see one of my father’s cousins lying in a pool of blood, no
