The next moment, his lips captured hers, and Siena felt the kiss even more intensely this time—the faint sound of his breath hitching, the hungry movement of his mouth, the perfect mix of softness and demand in every touch.

Her eyes were covered, her hands restrained, yet her other senses were heightened. Every movement of his body, every shift in his breathing, she was acutely aware of it all.

She could feel the rise and fall of his chest against her hands, the subtle shudder of his body each time their skin touched. God! She had never realized she affected him this much. She always knew he was drawn to her, but the way his control slipped now—the tension, the heat radiating off him—made her feel powerful.

This hard, dominant man, who so often appeared cold and untouchable, was unraveling because of her? The thought sent a surge of confidence through her veins. A slow smile touched her lips as she kissed him back with growing passion, arching her back seductively, determined to drive

    Siena couldn’t speak. Hell, she couldn’t even believe what she was hearing. “No… no, no, no…” She shook her head desperately. “No. That’s not true. You’re lying. You love me—right?” Her voice cracked, her eyes locked on his, begging for a denial.But he said nothing. He just stood there, silent… his face cold, unreadable. And Siena’s heart broke—but still, she refused to believe he didn’t love her.“Why are you doing this?” she whispered. “I’m scared, Cris…” Her anger dissolved, replaced by pure desperation. Fear.“You’re so easy to fool, Siena.” His smirk was dark, cruel. Siena’s eyes instantly filled with tears.“No. This can’t be true,” she choked. “You love me. And I love you. That’s the only truth.”He merely rolled his shoulders back and turned to leave.Panicking, Siena pushed herself off the hospital bed, but her head was still spinning. Her knees buckled—and before she hit the floor, Cristiano’s strong arms caught her and held her upright.She looked up at him and manage

    Vittorio’s lip curled in frustration. “You are my blood—that’s why I know you so well,” he snapped. “I knew you weren’t trying to get her pregnant.”Cristiano’s eyes narrowed, irritation flickering across his face. “You spy on my room now?”“I have to know what enters your life and what leaves it,” Vittorio shot back. “The maid told me she found a wrapper in your room.”Cristiano exhaled sharply, shaking his head. “That was a one-time thing. I used it because I wanted to. A man has certain needs.” His tone was so severe, so controlled, it allowed no trace of doubt.“And you know you can still trust me even after I shot Gino?” he continued, “You know why.”Vittorio fell silent. Because he knew the truth.The bullet had struck just below Gino’s heart. If Cristiano had genuinely wanted his half-brother dead, his aim would never have missed. One shot would have gone straight through Gino’s heart without hesitation.“Cristiano, the Famiglia is looking to you,” Vittorio reminded sharply

    Cristiano paced the hospital corridor, jaw locked, phone pressed tightly to his ear. The doctor had already examined Siena. The diagnosis was simple—shock, trauma, nothing life-threatening. She would wake up soon. The information eased him only a little; his pulse was still a wild, restless drum in his chest.On the line, Hunter’s voice trembled with panic.“Cris—what the hell were you thinking?! You shot Gino! If the Famiglia finds out, they’ll question everything. They’ll dig into Siena. They’ll dig into you. You could lose the throne—hell, they could execute both of you!”Cristiano rubbed a hand down his face, exhausted and furious.“I don’t give a damn about the Famiglia,” he muttered. “I had no choice. He had a gun on her.”“This is bad,” Hunter whispered. “They’re going to call for a vote… Vittorio will twist it against you—”Footsteps thundered across the hall.Cristiano looked up.His father was striding toward him like a storm—eyes burning, jaw tight with murderous rage.Cr

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 326. Facing The Truth

    Gino stopped the car in a deserted place Siena had never seen or even heard of. She stepped out slowly, confusion knotting in her stomach. The area was dim, isolated… far too quiet.“Why are we here?” she asked, looking around. “Cristiano isn’t anywhere. You said you’d show me his reality.”Gino didn’t answer at first. He simply smirked—crooked, wrong, chilling. Something in that smile made Siena’s skin crawl.“You seem to be in a hurry, sister-in-law,” he said slowly, taking a step back, hands slipping into his pockets as if he were enjoying her confusion.Siena frowned, uneasy. Her eyes scanned the warehouse—until the hair on her arms stood up.From the shadows, four men emerged… one from each corner. Broad shoulders. Hard eyes. No warmth. No welcome.Her breath hitched. “Gino…” she whispered, her voice trembling, “what’s going on?”Gino’s smirk widened, sharpening into something cold and cruel. “Oh, Siena,” he murmured—almost pitying, almost amused. “Did you really think you were s

  • The Mafia's Substitute Bride   Chapter 325. When It All Started

    Cristiano slumped into an old, worn chair, the wood creaking beneath him as he pressed his palms into his forehead. His chest felt tight—too tight. He had always known this day would come. And yet… he still let himself fall for her.He should have stopped himself.He shouldn’t have let her slip past the iron walls around his heart—shouldn’t have let her break them piece by piece.Because until this very moment, revenge was the only thing he had ever lived for.He exhaled shakily.It all started twenty years ago, when Cristiano’s grandfather ruled the famiglia as the kingpin of the Italian Mafia.Vittorio’s sister—young, naïve, and deeply protected—had fallen in love with a Bratva man. But it wasn’t love. It was a trap.She was lured away from her security, and the long-standing rivalry between the Russians and Italians exploded into something far more vicious. The Italian famiglia believed the Russian Pakhan, Nikolai Baranov, had abducted the Italian don’s daughter, raped her, and

    Vittorio’s eyes swept over the table before landing briefly on his son. Cristiano didn’t move, but the tension in his shoulders was unmistakable.“We’re all here for important news,” Vittorio announced. A heavy silence fell—sharp enough to cut through bone. Cristiano could hear the thud of his own heartbeat echoing in his ears.“As you all know, that Russian bastard’s daughter has been hiding somewhere in our territory. No one has found her yet…” Vittorio paused, letting the room lean in. “But I finally got a hint. A very promising one.”Cristiano kept his expression carved from ice, but his eyes burned. Whatever his father was planning, this wasn’t the time or place. Not with every shark at this table waiting for blood.Vittorio’s gaze brushed over him again—searching, evaluating—but Cristiano remained still. Outside, cold. Inside, a storm.“Tell us,” a voice barked from the far end of the table. Vittorio smirked.Another voice rose, harsher, fueled by old wounds. “We need vengeanc
