The mafia ceo's substitute bride Chapter 55: The Silent Drive of Jealousy
[ DAVID'S POV ]The sound of Daniel’s body hitting the stone wall echoed through the humid greenhouse, followed instantly by the wet splash of water from the fountain. Samantha’s scream tore through the thick air, sharp and full of pure terror."David, stop! Please!" she sobbed, throwing her hands over her face.I stared down at the man lying against the damp floor, my chest heaving, my heart hammering like a war drum against my ribs. My knuckles burned with a raw, throbbing heat. I wanted to tear him apart. I wanted to break every single bone in his body for daring to touch her, for putting his mouth on her skin, for looking at her as if he had any right to be near her.She came here for him.The thought slammed into my brain like an iron bar, cutting off my breath. All the soft thoughts I had in the foyer, all the desperate hopes that I could fix what I had broken they all turned into ashes. She hadn't used her two hours of freedom to get fresh air. She hadn't gone for a walk to cle
The mafia ceo's substitute bride Chapter 54: The Clash of Guardians
[ SAMANTHA'S POV ]"Samantha."The single word cut through the humid air of the greenhouse like a frozen blade.My heart stopped. The small, hopeful smile died instantly on my face. Every drop of blood drained from my cheeks as I turned slowly toward the sound of that dark, heavy voice.David stepped out from behind the wall of bamboo leaves.He didn't look like the man who had set the silver key card on the table three days ago. He didn't look like the man who had wiped a tear from my cheek with a shaking hand. He stepped between us like a roaring predator, his broad shoulders blocking out the light, his dark eyes burning with a wild, terrifying rage. His presence swallowed the air in the room, making it impossible to breathe."David..." My voice came out as a tiny, broken gasp. I took a fast step back, my spine slamming hard against the wet stone rim of the fountain.Daniel didn't run. He didn't flinch. He stepped right in front of me, placing his body between me and David. He stood
The mafia ceo's substitute bride Chapter 53: The Tracking Shadow
[ DAVID'S POV ]I sat behind my heavy mahogany desk, staring down at the glowing laptop screen. A small red light blinked steadily on a digital map of the city.A custom location tracker. I had hidden a tiny tracking chip inside the lining of her designer coat three days ago not to lock her down, but to keep her safe. In my position, danger never gives a warning. If she was going to walk outside my gates for two hours every day, I needed to make sure she was safe, not forced into a car by my enemies.The red dot stopped moving.I leaned forward, my fingers gripping the edge of the desk.Downtown Botanical Conservatory.Why the conservatory? Samantha had never talked about plants or flowers before. A cold feeling touched my chest. My heart started beating fast and heavy.Trust, I told myself, forcing my hands to let go of the wood. You promised her trust. You said you wanted to be good to her.Five minutes passed. Then ten. Then fifteen. The red light did not move at all from the cente

[ SAMANTHA'S POV ]Daniel reached out, grabbed my upper arm, and pulled me hard behind a thick wall of tall green ferns. The big leaves rustled loudly over our heads, hiding us from the main path."Are you crazy?" Daniel whispered, his voice sharp and fast. He looked at my face, his eyes wide with fear as his hands gripped my coat sleeves tight. "Look at you, Samantha. You are so thin. Your face is pale! What is he doing to you inside that house?""I am fine, Daniel," I said, my voice shaking as I tried to smooth down my clothes. "I just I haven't slept well.""You look like you are fading away," he whispered, his voice breaking with worry.Before I could take a step back, Daniel pulled me into his chest. He wrapped his arms around my shoulders and held me in a tight, desperate hug.He buried his face against my neck. His grip was so hard I could feel his heart pounding fast against my ribs."I was so worried about you," Daniel muttered against my skin, squeezing me tight against his
The mafia ceo's substitute bride Chapter 51: The Secret Rendezvous
[ SAMANTHA'S POV ]I froze completely. My mouth stayed open, my eyes going wide as my anger turned into pure shock."You..." I whispered, my voice barely making a sound against the vast ceiling of the foyer. "You are trying to be nice to me?""I know how I acted out there at the fence," David said, his voice low, rough, and gravelly. "I dragged you through the dirt and pinned you against this wall like an enemy. But when I looked down at your face... when I saw how much you feared me, I realized I don't want to fight with you anymore.""You dragged me through the rain!" I shouted, the hot sting of tears brimming in my eyes. "You slammed me against this paneling! You pinned me here like I was a criminal!""I know," he said softly, his chest rising and falling in fast, uneven breaths. "I spent months believing your mother and Linda every lies they told me about you. Every single word they spewed, I bought it. I thought you were scheming behind my back, trying to take advantage of me and
The mafia ceo's substitute bride Chapter 50: The Birth of True Romantic Love
[ DAVID'S POV ]My breathing was fast, rough, and heavy in the quiet room. Rainwater kept dripping down from my wet coat, hitting the cold floor with small clicking sounds."You think I am scary?" I asked, my voice low and dry.Samantha did not answer me with words. She stood pinned against the wall, her chest moving up and down fast. Her eyes were big, dark, and full of anger as she stared straight into mine. She did not look down. She did not look away. She stood her ground, ready for another fight.I looked down at her hands and arms. The red marks from my big fingers were still on her skin where I had held her against the wall.A monster.That was what she saw when she looked at me. I could feel it in the way her body stayed stiff against the wall, ready for another argument, ready for another locked door.My mind went back to everything that had happened before today. She had no idea about the hard work I did behind her back to keep her safe from trouble.She did not know about t
