[Sinclair]

I was content to watch that wicked woman lose one thing after another that she had. She should know what it was like to be at the lowest point in her life. That stupid man helped her last year, but not this year.

Her in-laws were ruthless. She spared nothing, even taking away Darcy's rights. Her efforts to protect her property from her daughter-in-law's deviousness were commendable. Anyone would have done the same if they were in her shoes.

However, I didn't expect that heartless woman to give up so easily. I wouldn't have believed my men's report if I hadn't seen it myself. The evil woman shifted a wooden box and climbed onto it. She couldn't end her life!

My men held her hand, preventing her from going over the guardrail. They pulled her away from the place and brought her to me. The woman struggled, but the two men outmatched her.

“What the hell! Let me go!” the woman screeched in annoyance.

“I didn't expect someone like you to dare to die.” I glanced at the fence.

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   145|Test My Patience

    I finished my work before the dinner appointment. Austin didn't accompany me because the meeting wasn't about work. I went with Neil to a hotel. Thankfully, my colleague hadn't arrived. I wasn't late.The waiter showed me to the table that we had reserved. Unlike my other colleagues, the man I was meeting chose the main dining room instead of a private room for talking. I looked around. I saw Hans and Viola sitting together at a table near the window."I heard that Hans confessed his love to his friend a few days ago. Both families approve of their relationship," Neil reported.‘Good. That woman won't bother me anymore,’ I said."Viola and Ivy's relationship has been tense since the cops arrested Poppy," he added.“Let it be. I don’t want to get involved in their family affairs.”We stopped talking because my colleague arrived. After shaking hands, the man asked the waiter to serve food and drinks. He introduced his partner to me. His business partner needed a large loan.I gave the s

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   144|Long-sought Proof

    I asked Austin to return to his desk. Neil followed me into my office. He stood near the door as I walked toward the couch. Marcel stood up, but did not extend his hand. He knew I would not shake it.I sat down, and the man took a seat across from me. Austin served snacks and coffee in front of me. Seeing the steam rising from Marcel's cup, I realized he had just arrived. I couldn't guess the purpose of his early arrival. “What's going on?” I asked.“I know your people are checking the homes and offices of people close to Stephen's father. They haven't found anything yet. That's why you haven't reported our deeds. I know Kent has a villa outside the city. I found everything you were looking for,” Marcel reported.“What do you mean?” I refused to be provoked by his nonsense.“Security camera footage from the incident, some recordings of Stephen mocking him on campus, and statements from several students who witnessed the incident are in my hands,” he replied.“I don’t understand. Why

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   143|An Innocent Statement

    [Sinclair]Darcy and I agreed to use a better narrative about the birth of our son. That way, our children would not kill each other or seek revenge on others. We had to prevent bloodshed in our family.I woke up that morning with a calmer mind. Seeing Darcy sleeping peacefully beside me, I kissed her forehead and tucked the blanket around her. I headed to the bathroom to get ready for exercise. As I walked down the corridor, I glanced toward Keane's room.The baby had been crying early in the morning. He fell asleep after his mother breastfed him. I opened the door to his room and entered silently. Keane was in his crib. The light from outside helped me see him lying peacefully.Like his mother, did I accept him easily because I saw his photo daily? I followed his progress from Conrad’s reports. Everyone loved the baby: parents, grandparents, the housekeeper, and even the employees at their company.On the other hand, I had to hide Dashiell from the public. Only I and the housekeeper

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   142|Unstoppable Confession

    I had no idea what was so serious about my question. But I pushed that thought aside and enjoyed Sinclair's pampering touch. His habit of not saying anything when we had intercourse no longer surprised me.I liked compliments. Sweet words stimulated me to enjoy our activities in bed even more. But with Sinclair, I didn't need any of that. He had his way of satisfying me with his silent and cold demeanor.“We need to consider another narrative to explain Dashiell's presence,” Sinclair said.I caught my breath after having intimacy with him while staring at the ceiling. I turned to him. “There’s no better story than that.”“Keane will hate Dashiell if he’s old enough to understand. I don’t want the two brothers to hurt each other,” he explained.“I don’t want to lie by saying someone set us up. Also, I don’t want to use the scenario that we were drunk and did it just one night,” I refused.“Saying someone set us up would make Keane or Dashiell seek revenge on whoever did it. Drunk scena

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   141|Trust No One

    I never imagined that my visit to Sinclair's office would open my eyes so wide to the business, and most importantly, to him. The man trusted no one but himself. The tragedy that befell his family had deeply wounded him.No wonder he hated me so much. He even used my most precious possession to seek revenge. Without a second thought, he brought a living being into the world without considering its feelings.“I investigate everyone close to my employees. I don’t want to pay people who work for my enemies.” Sinclair’s explanation echoed in my ears.I didn’t bother to find out who was close to Vicky and Lydia. I didn’t even know Whitney before. But I trusted them to be my partners in building a new business. Gosh. I didn’t learn from my mistakes leading Bailey Incorporation and Brand New Corporation.Cullen trusted Whitney. But what if that woman did something evil to me to avenge what I did to the child she had raised since she was little? I had no idea where that woman came from or who

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   140|New Business

    [Darcy]I forced myself to open my eyes when I heard the voice of a baby crying. It was dark around me, but I didn't turn on the light. I knew where the closet was. The light turned on automatically, making it easier for me to grab some clothes and a coat.I slowly opened the bedroom door and closed it. I hurried to Keane's room. His loud voice could wake Dashiell. So, I closed the door quickly. Olivia sighed with relief when she saw me.“Keane, it’s Mommy. Be quiet, okay, sweetie? Are you hungry?” I picked him up and sat on the couch.After positioning him on my lap, I breastfed him. The baby quieted down. I turned to Olivia and glanced at the connecting door. The young woman needed rest. Keane wouldn't want to leave me. He didn't need his nanny.I woke up lying on the couch. My son was in his crib. He was giggling while playing with his stuffed toy. I sat up and stretched my body. Faintly, I heard a dog barking in the distance.I glanced at the wall clock. Sinclair was about to leave
