[Sinclair]

I followed Darcy with my eyes as the medics took her to one of the empty exam rooms. Another team took me to the room beside it. They checked my condition. As expected, my legs, thighs, and back were bruised from the impact of the water surface.

The helicopter was too far from the river, but we had no choice. It was better to be injured than to die in vain. Scott, Neil, and the pilot were safe. That was my only priority. The insurance would help repair or replace the helicopter. So, the company didn't lose much.

I suspected two major groups did it: Joaquin and Giovanni. Joaquin wasn't a coward. I wouldn't be surprised if he dared to challenge me after the incident at his house. The family was everything to him. He would protect them at all costs.

Giovanni hated me because of a misunderstanding. He didn't want to hear my explanation and believed his men's confession. Unfortunately, I had no evidence to corroborate my statement. Therefore, he chose to believe his confidant.

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   86|True to His Words

    [Darcy]I didn't understand. Sinclair said we had our own bedrooms, but he slept in my bed each night. I didn't mind because he could do whatever he wanted in his house. Oddly, I wasn't free to enter the rest of the house.Sinclair didn't have breakfast with me on Sundays. He wasn't in the dining room on Monday morning, either. Lionel didn't say anything, and I didn't ask. Was it possible that he was in another part of the house that I couldn't enter?What was upstairs and behind the back door? I didn't have time to check the yard, but I saw a wall with a padlocked fence. The maid opened the door in the morning so Sinclair could exercise and locked it after he finished.Sinclair didn't sleep with me after the accident, not because he didn't want to. So, he couldn't have a secret lover to fulfill his biological needs other than me. That was evident by his arousal last night.“Good morning, Darcy,” the warden greeted me. “Do you want to see your mother?”“Yes,” I replied.“It's not her

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   85|Holding On

    Lionel and the servants worked hard to get the yard ready for Halloween. They decorated it with pumpkins in creepy expressions. The lights inside made the faces even scarier.Little pumpkins and white ghosts with various expressions were on the right and left of the porch steps. Bats hanging from the ceiling made the atmosphere of the haunted house even more real. The scene contrasted with the unchanged mood of the house.I glanced at my son's room before entering mine. Dashiell wouldn't have anything terrible happened to him. I swore we would live in peace and out of trouble after I avenged my family.I closed the door to my bedroom, and my legs were suddenly unsteady. I leaned against the door, and my body slid to the floor. My heart was pounding, tightening my chest. I took a deep breath, but tears welled up.I clenched my fists, trying to control myself. But my efforts failed. I couldn't stop the sobs coming out of my mouth. I gave up and cried silently. God. Dashiell and I almost

    [Sinclair]There was no caption on the last picture, so I looked at the other documents. It was a proof of transfer from an account to Joaquin's. I didn't recognize the name of the account holder. Wesley provided the answer in another file.The account belonged to Bridget Channing's friend. So, she told Joaquin to kidnap Ivy. “I don't understand. What does Bridget have to do with Ivy?” I asked.“Look at the date on the video screenshot,” Wesley said.I complied. October fifteenth, a few days before my mother's death. If Ivy was in Joaquin's hands, did he use the girl to threaten her parents? My heart pounded. No way. Poppy loved my mom very much.“Ivy was held for two weeks. Joaquin released her after your mother died. You might think a mother would do that to protect her daughter. But Poppy showed no remorse after provoking Paige as a failed mother,” Wesley explained.“You don't know Poppy,” I argued.“Poppy didn't call the police or involve her bodyguards to help her daughter. What

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   83|The Best Performance

    My heart pounded loudly, deafening my ears. My chest felt tight as I struggled to breathe. I needed that job. If they got mad at me, Sinclair would force me to quit. I couldn't let that happen.The audience cheered as I entered the stage. They cheered in support, not to insult or curse me. It was an astonishing sight. What was going on? Why weren't they mocking me?My mask was useless because they recognized me, but I didn't open it. Archie could have been in the audience and waiting to photograph me. The mask was my trademark. I couldn't perform without it.“Darcy!!! Put on your best performance! Shake your body, baby!” they shouted.I avoided the audience's eyes and focused on their foreheads. Although many cheered, supporting my performance, I knew some were disgusted. I'd never been in a public place in skimpy clothes.We performed well. Neither my colleagues nor I made mistakes. We moved in harmony. The music was almost over, making my heart beat rapidly. I had a bad feeling beca

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   82|The Last Practice

    [Darcy]Reporters were near the entrance. News media vehicles were lined up neatly by the roadside. They weren't just at the front door but also at the back door. Employees looked at them ruefully as they entered the club.I took a deep breath and exhaled. The public knew I worked at a nightclub. There was no point in hiding or pretending. I glanced at my watch. My team would practice before the show. I couldn't wait until the reporters left.I put on a hat, sunglasses, and a mask to hide my face. I wouldn't let them settle for my photos or videos. Scott opened the door as his colleagues cleared a path for me from the car to the back door.“Darcy, a quick interview, please,” they asked. "Is it true you became a stripper? Have you been working here since Brand New Corporation went bankrupt? Why don't you look for another job? Did your late husband leave you no inheritance?"Scott shielded me as I passed them. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pushed the reporter away with his f

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   81|The Ambush

    Neil braked abruptly. My body was thrown hard forward and slammed into the car seat. I put my hand on Dashiell's chest to protect him. My heart was beating fast, and I worried about my son.Another car pulled up behind and to the left of my car. People dressed in black got out and pointed their guns at the windshield, right at my son's head. I calmed myself down to think clearly. Joaquin wouldn't kill Dashiell.The man stepped out of the vehicle in front of my car. He stood haughtily and stared at me. Seeing that my son was okay, I exited the SUV. Neil protested, but I told him to lock the door. The men put their guns to my head. One of them frisked me.“Touch my gun, and I'll get it back,” I threatened.“Grab it if you can,” the man who took the weapons from my back and waist said.“None of this would have happened if you had handed Wesley over to me, Sin,” Joaquin declared. He looked around. "All your snipers have fallen. No one will help you finish us off." He smirked."Why should

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   80|Reminiscing Memories

    I scanned my surroundings before getting out of the car. I knew my people were near the cemetery, protecting me from enemies. However, I couldn't let my guard down. I took Dashiel's hand and walked towards my family's grave.It was close to the road so we didn't have to walk far. Neil and my son's bodyguard watched us from the side of the car. Boyd jogged and stopped beside my father's tombstone. Dad was on the right, Mom was in the middle, and Tristan was on the left.The spot in front of them was mine and Dashiell's. I had bought the land for our resting place. People wouldn't have to bother looking for a place when my son and I died. That way, my body and the rest of my family were in the same place.“Dad, I want to see Grandma's face,” Dashiell said.I turned to his bodyguard. The man grabbed something from the car and approached us. He handed my son a tablet. Dashiell looked at the screen. My beautiful mom smiled at us.“Grandma's hair is dark like Dad's. Grandpa and Uncle's hair

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   79|Learn Her Lesson

    [Sinclair]Those in the VVIP room gasped. They turned to me when I sat on the chair. The show went well even though the incident caught the dancers' attention. They danced harmoniously and closed it perfectly.The audience seemed mesmerized by the top secret being revealed before them. They didn't react until the dancers walked backstage. Security guards approached guests who used their phones to record or photograph the dancers.Conrad and his IT team would work overtime to prevent Darcy's photos and videos from spreading on social media. The secret would be out sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to happen so close to another significant event.“Silly me,” Dustin said. "That masked woman is Darcy Bailey. I should have agreed with her demands. Sean would have paid any amount to free her."“I'll release her, Sin,” Ralph interrupted quickly."No, you won't. I'll set her free," Dustin retorted.“Darcy Wyndham is not for sale,” I stated.They fell silent. A few minutes later, everyon

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   78|Selfish Act

    I ignored their stares. My body moved harmoniously to the music. The woman pulling my mask smiled at the audience. She tried hard to dance, teasing the guests who directed their attention to me.Although I was in the front row, I made no effort to cover my face. I let the customers see me as I was. I kept my promise to the group and instructor by dancing without any mistakes.We finished the performance well and headed backstage in an orderly fashion. I couldn't pick up my mask because the culprit threw it at the audience. I approached her when we were in the dressing room.However, someone preceded me, and a loud slap filled the room. We held our breath at the sight. Kirsten clenched her fists, refraining from hitting her twice. She looked at Davina with blazing eyes.“Wh-why did you slap me?” Davina asked in surprise.“Everyone worked so hard on tonight's performance, and you ruined everything with your one selfish act,” Kirsten snapped.My dance partner glanced at me. "Darcy ruined
