I didn’t know whether I was dreaming or awake as I watched my mystery man walk past me without sparing me a glance. But the moment that familiar scent reached me, that intoxicating perfume—I turned back immediately and called the name I’d learned only hours ago, before he could walk away again.

“Knight!”

I tried to keep my excitement under wraps. I wasn’t sure if it worked, and frankly, I didn’t care. I was excited to see him. When he turned to meet my gaze, a smile crept onto my lips as I took in his features once again.

He looked even more handsome today, if that was even possible. The brown suit he wore complemented him perfectly, that damn custom-made suit. His jaw was clenched as he approached me slowly, and even with that emotionless expression, he looked like a Calvin Klein model.

Just… with more clothes.

But imagine him without—

Okay, okay. Calm down, Aria.

I tried to steady my breathing as he finally stopped in front of me.

“How do you know my name?” he asked immediately.

  • The mafia boss is the man of my dreams    Chapter 15

    Aria’s POVI woke up the next morning with my body burning from the familiar heat I had grown used to. I asked for the dream this time, and it certainly didn’t disappoint—except for one thing.Knight’s face didn’t fill the empty space the way it had before.Instead, I was back to dreaming about a stranger whose face I could never see. Still, last night’s interaction was enough to keep my spirits lifted. I didn’t need to check the sheets to know they were stained, so I simply got up, dragged them along with me, and headed for the bathroom.I peeled off my clothes and stepped into the shower. As hot water slid down my skin, the dream replayed like a broken tape in my head—those moans and grunts slowly turning into music I hated how much I enjoyed.I ran my hands over my face, trying to chase the images away.I had better things to worry about.That better thing being Knight.I still needed to know why he felt so familiar, and I couldn’t afford to get distracted by my sex-starved thought

  • The mafia boss is the man of my dreams    Chapter 14

    Knight’s POVI walked back to my table, a smile still playing on my lips. That girl was really something, managing to make me smile twice in a single day. Now even I was almost curious to see how she planned on making our next meeting happen just to get my number.It was a fun distraction, especially considering how shitty my day had been.I motioned to one of the guards, and he rushed over immediately.“Did you send that bastard home already?” I asked, frowning at the thought of Conan and he nodded sharply. If we weren’t working on this project together, I would’ve gotten rid of him a long time ago. Instead, I had to tolerate his sorry ass until we were done.My frown deepened as the red marks on Aria’s wrist came to mind.How hard did he grip her to leave a bruise like that?Asshole.“You can go,” I said, waving the guard off.Just then, my phone buzzed. I picked it up to see a message from Rowan.I dropped her off safely, boss. I’m on my way to pick you up now.I typed a quick Oka

  • The mafia boss is the man of my dreams    Chapter 12

    I couldn’t wipe that damn smile off my face as I walked with Rowan toward Knight’s car. If anyone had told me this was how my night would end, I would’ve cursed them out, because Knight saving me from Conan—and him owning the bar—was definitely not something I would have guessed. But look at me now, getting driven home by his personal bodyguard and having made him laugh twice just today. I’d say we’d made really good progress.I waited until Rowan opened the car door before slipping into the passenger seat beside him. He stared at me, eyes wide.“It would be more proper if you sat at the back, ma’am,” he said with a small smile.I shook my head. “First, Rowan, please call me Aria. And second, I’m not your boss, so there’s no need for formalities. Just consider this giving a friend a ride,” I said, brows raised.“But—” he started.“Forget the buts. Let’s just hit the road,” I cut in, still smiling. “I have a lot of questions,” I added as I punched my address into the GPS.He started th

  • The mafia boss is the man of my dreams    Chapter 12

    Knight’s POVI wasn’t thinking when I walked over there.I had come to check how my bar was faring and maybe take a drink or two after dealing with Mr. Saturn. And trust me—he paid with his life, after he told me where the missing page from the folder was, of course. I wasn’t inefficient enough to kill him before getting my information.I was seated with a drink in hand when the commotion started. From where I sat, I couldn’t see who was involved, but the raised voices were already ticking me off.“Check who’s causing a disruption in my bar and send them out immediately,” I said, turning to Rowan. “I didn’t come here to settle fights. Send everyone out—and if they prove difficult, you know the rules.”He nodded and walked away.Seconds passed, yet the noise continued.“Why are you back when nothing is sorted out?” I asked with a frown.“You might want to see this, boss,” Rowan said, scratching the back of his neck nervously.“See what?” I asked.“Conan,” he mouthed. “He’s the one caus

  • The mafia boss is the man of my dreams    Chapter 11

    I was stunned, too stunned to speak or even move. Because tell me why I was still standing in that same spot even minutes after Knight had walked away. I couldn’t tell if it was our interaction that had left me frozen or if my brain was fried from how cute he looked when he laughed. Right now, I was leaning toward both. When I finally came to my senses, I leaned against the wall behind me and scrolled through my phone—only to realize he’d deleted all the pictures I took. Of course. Still, I counted this mission as a win. He said I made his day brighter. I made him laugh. If that wasn’t progress, then I didn’t know what was. I couldn’t wait for the next time we’d meet. I dragged myself back to my office and buried my head in documents until it was time to go home. The moment work ended, I practically sprinted to Jean’s car. “You will not believe what miracle happened today!” I screamed the second I got into the seat. Jean rolled his eyes slightly before plastering a smi

  • The mafia boss is the man of my dreams    Chapter 10

    Knight’s POVI was already beyond irritated walking into that company, and my annoyance only deepened when I heard that girl utter my name. Like I’d told her before, whoever couldn’t keep their mouth shut would have a lot to answer for. I came here fully prepared to rage at Conan, but now he’d added yet another offense to his crawling incompetence.Aria was bold, I’d give her that. But I wasn’t in the mood to play whatever game she thought she was running when she said she was interested in me. I wasn’t naïve.Still, as I walked away from her, my jaw remained clenched—even though a smirk tugged at my lips. I genuinely hoped we never crossed paths again. She was trouble, the kind I had no intention of bothering myself with.I pushed open Conan’s office door without hesitation. The moment his eyes met mine, he jumped to his feet and bowed.“Boss,” he muttered.I rolled my eyes and motioned for him to come closer.“Are you planning to keep hiding behind that goddamn desk,” I seethed, “or
