NINA

“But I know you’re cracking through that ice he has developed around his heart.”

“Really?”

“Hmm.” He kissed my forehead, and then as I sat on the bed, I watched as he dried himself.

When the bathroom door opened behind him, my gaze shifted to my husband. And my heart gave a pang to see him fully clothed. He had changed into a relaxed black tee, full sleeves, and faded grey jeans. The sight of him equally astonished me at how sexy he looked and pained me that on one hand Lachlan was so secure in his nudity while my husband was hiding himself.

But there was no hint of jealousy or any bitterness in his grey eyes when his gaze fell on Lachlan. Instead, Jeremiah smiled as he watched him and I saw how much he loved him and adored him.

I swallowed hard, once again wishing he’d look at me like that too.

“How long will you stare at me, Jeremy?”

Lachlan winked at me as I shifted my gaze to meet his. Tellimg me like me he too could feel his grey eyes without looking at him.

  • Twisted Marriage (A Dark MMF Mafia Romance)   227. I don't want to die

    JEREMIAH “Our son?” My eyes searched hers before they dropped to her stomach. “Yes.” Her words were just a mere whisper of cold air as she said, “J-Juhan… I went for—” “Jeremiah!” The sudden shouts had both of us whirling, only to be tackled down to the ground by Hugho as loud gunshots cracked through the air. The sound was startling and sharp that didn’t belong in this small snowy town. “We have to leave. Now!” Hugho growled, “Someone must’ve leaked our location.” I uncurled myself from around Nina. She looked disoriented as she blinked, noticing the men rushing toward us and forming a protective circle as they returned the gunfire. She clung to me, her voice shaky as she asked, “Jeremiah, what’s happening?” “Let’s get out of here first,” I helped her to stand, my movement urgent as men started to exchange gunfire and slowly the small airport turned into a warzone. “We have to hurry.” Hugho pressed his hands at our backs as he guided us toward the waiting cars. A

  • Twisted Marriage (A Dark MMF Mafia Romance)   226. My wife loves me

    JEREMIAH “Are you sure about this?” Kayne asked. “What do you think?” I looked at him, knowing he wouldn't have a response to it. Xavier let out a long breath. “I mean we could wait here instead of you deliberately putting yourself into danger.” “My wife will be at the airport, in public, with no one there to protect her,” I gritted out. I had already made up my mind. If what I suspected was the reality then I needed to be there for my wife. I couldn’t stay at home surrounded by my guards to be safe while I send my friends and their guards to safeguard their Pakhan’s wife. I wasn’t going to be that man. If she was in danger, and she was because of me, then I intended to stand between her and that danger. I intended to protect her with my own life if it came to that. I have already kost her once, I won’t lose her again. I had thought I could find the fucking pest that was after me and my family, wait for it to show up while Lachlan and Nina stayed in Italy, far away fr

  • Twisted Marriage (A Dark MMF Mafia Romance)   225. She's in danger

    NINA I sat stiff in my seat, my fingers curled tightly around the armrest as if letting go would make everything slip out of my control. My leg bounced on its own, a nervous reflex I couldn’t stop, and my heart beat so hard it felt like I was once again caged in that dark cell. But all of it wasn’t because of the turbulence the plane was going through for the last twenty minutes. For as much as I was scared of the continuous shaking of the plane, I was more worried about the fact that Ephraim will reach my husband and Lachlan with Juhan before I could. The pilot had announced a detour because of the thunderstorm, and it meant it would take longer for me to reach Russia than I thought. It also meant Ephraim will reach faster than me as he flew privately. I pressed my lips together, swallowing hard as panic crawled up my throat. My son would be between strangers, standing in front of men who he had never met and didn't know much about. The men who’d have every right to ha

  • Twisted Marriage (A Dark MMF Mafia Romance)   224. The Reason she came back

    JEREMIAH The door to the safe house banged open and I looked up just in time to see my younger brother stumble into the back room I was in. For half a second, I didn’t recognize him. Olezka looked like a ghost of himself, like something dragged out of a warzone. His shirt soaked through with blood, soot smeared across his face, and there was an open gash splitting his forehead. “What the fuck—” I crossed the room in two strides and caught him as he staggered into me, his legs almost giving out on him. “What happened, Lez?” His weight sagged into me and when he lifted his head, his blue eyes were glassy, rimmed red and not from pain. There was fear in his eyes that I had never seen before. “Jeremiah,” he said, voice breaking apart. “I… I can’t find her.” “What?” I looked past him to Hugho, who stared back at me looking as clueless as I felt. "What are you talking about?" At my order Baranov was brought here and I was just about to shoot him dead to end his annoying

  • Twisted Marriage (A Dark MMF Mafia Romance)   223. Tamed and domesticated

    NINA "Does he not want me? Is that why you took so long to come back for me?” “No, baby, of course he wants you. As I said, he doesn't know about you yet." "Why didn’t you tell him?" "Well..." I licked my lips as I searched for an answer, and then I finally said, "I didn’t know how will he react at first. He thought I intentionally left him, he didn’t know that I lost my memories... But now, I know he'll be really happy to know about you so I came to take you with me." And as I said those words, I was certain of it. I didn’t know why I was questioning and doubted Jeremiah all this time. “Okay. But—” his brows furrowed and once again I was hit with how much he looked like Jeremiah. “What if you're wrong and he isn't happy to see me?” I chuckled. “If I know anything, I know he will be beyond happy to meet you. The only thing he won't be happy about was the fact that he didn't get to meet you much sooner, that he missed twelve years of your childhood." “Is he a good man, ma

  • Twisted Marriage (A Dark MMF Mafia Romance)   222. You found my father

    NINA “Mama, are you really okay?” I smiled as I looked at his beautiful face. My baby. My little heart. For the upteenth time, I gathered him in my arms and hugged him tight. And my little baby who doesn’t like physical touches let me smother him, in fact, he hugged me back just as tightly. “Did I tell you how much I missed you, bambino?” “Hmm… yes, mama. You did.” He patted my back like I was the one who needed his comfort. In the last eight months my baby has grown and not just physically, he’s almost as tall as me now, but also when I looked into his eyes he looked more vary of the world than he was before which already had bothered me. Always made me aware of my shortcomings as a mother that I never was able to give him the childhood he deserved. And now it seemed last eight months had made him more mature than he should be. When I pulled back, I cupped his face and kissed his forehead. “I am sorry for making you wait this long. For not being there for you as I sho
