The Substitute Bride of the Mafia Tycoon Chapter 18: That day
Annalise and Zeno spend their day at the mall, buying tons of clothes together with their bodyguards. Some of them were scattered throughout the whole area while some were following the couple.“Why do we have to buy all of this? We’re just going to spend a week, Zeno,” Annalise said while staring at the clothes that the cashier’s punching into the machine.“We’ll be going to France next week, then the last one is Nome, Alaska. I think the clothes we bought are good for a three-week trip,” Zeno explained, then gave his black card to the cashier.Annalise was just looking at Zeno and didn’t even bother to react because she was still processing what he just answered. She blinked her eyes many times, waiting for him to say that it was just a joke, but Zeno didn’t talk.Annalise cleared her throat to get his attention, which was effective. “Are you joking?”Zeno’s forehead wrinkled. He even raised his eyebrow, thinking why Annalise didn’t believe what he just replied to her a while ago. B

“Here’s your ramen. I add two eggs, dried seaweed, then dumplings as toppings—”“It’s so good!” Annalise exclaimed when the soup touched her tongue. “How did you make it?”Zeno smirked at his wife, who was now amazed at the ramen he made for her. “It’s a secret.”Annalise pouted her lips and rolled her eyes at him. “Selfish!”Zeno laughed at her remark and just shrugged his shoulders off. Now that he remembered, he used to cook for her because Annalise loved seeing him in the kitchen, wearing an apron.Thinking about those old times makes Zeno smile, especially since Annalise is still the same as before. The only difference is that she lost her memories because of the incident.Zeno is still happy, even if she can’t remember him. At least Annalise was now lowering her guard and being able to show herself, just like before.Their dinner went smoothly. They are sharing different ideas for Annalise’s passion for writing, which Zeno supports.“Why don’t you try to write a novel that has a

“Are we going to inform Zeno about this?” Ciara asked when the meeting was done.Everyone stares at her as if they didn’t expect her to ask that question, but Kazimir still answers the question. “Yes, but not now. They are both busy strolling in New Zealand. Maybe when Annalise called you, you better inform us so we could talk to Zeno.”“He still needs to know since he’s been craving to kill them,” Thaddeus uttered.…“Where are we going?” Annalise asked when Zeno decided to use his car.“We’re going to the mall. You said you wanted to experience watching a movie, right?” Zeno glanced at Annalise and when he saw that she nodded her head, he focused on the road again.“Yes, but I wanted to eat ramen again,” Annalise whispered.The corner of Zeno’s lips lifted, but he tried his best to act a fool. “We’ll eat later, but for now, we need to watch a movie.”But everything went too fast when a white van, two SUVs, and three motorcycles appeared in front to block their way. Their bodyguards
The Substitute Bride of the Mafia Tycoon Chapter 21: Headache
“Rose, let’s eat,” Zeno said after preparing the ramen. When they arrive at Kazimir’s house in Nome, Alaska, Annalise doesn’t communicate with Zeno as if she became distant after she witnessed how cruel he was when she killed most of the people who blocked their way.However, she knew that he needed to be heartless to survive that ambush because being soft-hearted would kill him. But she didn’t know why she needed to be distant from her husband. Aside from absorbing the incident, she remembered what Rose had said.“I can’t marry a cruel man.”Annalise closes her eyes as tight as she can. That phrase lingers in her head after locking herself in her room. She just wanted to think, but why was she feeling anxious? Is it because she married a cruel man?“Am I regretting the decision I have made?” she whispered to herself. “I just wanted to help, but why is this man being chased by a bunch of people who looked trained to kill people?”She gritted her teeth upon thinking how clueless she was

Annalise Ysia Villareal’s Point of ViewWhat was that?Why does this scene seem familiar?Who am I talking to? His baritone voice seems familiar but his face, it’s freaking blurred. But I’m confident that I’ve heard that voice previously. I just can’t point out who it was.When I open my eyes, a familiar modern room design welcomes my sight. Ah, we’re at his friend’s house in Nome, Alaska.When we arrived at this house a while ago, the interior was still clean. That's when I realized that someone is still taking care of it, even if their boss isn’t around.I placed my hand on my head when I felt that there was still a minor pain, but it was tolerable. I was just thinking a while ago about what I should do. If I talk to him like I used to? Or should I distance myself because of how cruel he was when they ambushed us?But everything became blurry when I felt my head hurt like hell. I even cried while suffering from that pain. It even took my energy until I lost consciousness.“Rose?” I

After leaving traces on my neck and chest, he glanced at me with adoring eyes. My heart whipped so badly as I felt my belly tickle.“You’re beautiful,” Zeno whispered as his hands dragged my shorts together with my undies. “You kept rubbing yourself against mine, huh?”I bit my lower lip when he told me those things, so I avoided his gaze, but to my surprise; he spread my legs effortlessly and then placed his on my sensitive part, which caused me to look at him while my lips parted.“There you go. Don’t be tempted to cut our eye contact, okay? Just look at me,” he commanded, then rubbing his finger to my clit.“Ahh!” I groaned and arched my back, causing me to press my chest onto his firm chest. He was rubbing me slowly, and I had no choice but to place my hands on his shoulder.“Don’t halt yourself on whimpering, baby. This room is soundproof. You can shout my name all you want,” he chuckled before lowering his head to my neck and licking it. “Fuck, baby. You’re so wet as hell! Are y
The Substitute Bride of the Mafia Tycoon Chapter 24: Reason
It’s been weeks since we shared the same bed and we’re still here in Nome, Alaska. I told him that I wanted to wander around, but he told me that I couldn’t.I told myself that I’d distance myself from him because I saw how horrible he was, but after doing that with him; we became close again.We’re now in the kitchen and he’s peacefully cooking one of my favorite foods — baked sushi. One of the key ingredients is crab meat, canned tuna, rice, Japanese-style mayonnaise, and dried seaweed. The rest depends on your preference, but Zeno likes to enhance the taste by putting seasonings and sesame oil.“You’re quiet. Are you thinking of something?” he interrogated, then took a glimpse of me after putting the pan in the oven to bake it for about 2-5 minutes.“I was thinking about the time when we got ambushed,” I muttered. It’s annoying me. How can he act chill when we almost died?Zeno let out a heavy sigh but didn’t say anything, as if he was thinking if he could share it with me. Is it h
The Substitute Bride of the Mafia Tycoon Chapter 25: Answers
After that conversation, I decided to isolate myself in my room. I don’t know what to do anymore. He said that he had known me ever since, that we had a memory together, but I doubt it. I know that he’s completely a stranger to me and I know that he will not lie to me. I’m baffled. I don’t know if I can believe him after he hides that he was a Mafia member and a member of an organization. I don’t know if it’s right for me to believe in him and give him the trust that he deserves because he is still my husband, but I’m terrified. I know I should trust him, but I don’t know. I’m going crazy with what’s happening. There seems to be too much going on in my mind and I can’t be quiet if it isn’t answered. I can’t even remember how many days have passed. All I wanted was to think and let myself process everything and thankfully, Zeno let me. He’s been letting me think every time he gives me answers. I admire him for giving me time, but I feel bad at doubting him. If ever we both shared mem
