Chapter 21: Her Ulterior Plan

Delilah's POV

I slid into the back seat of the car, Gaston was already behind the wheel, his usual calm expression in place, though I could sense he was itching to say something. He adjusted the rearview mirror, looked at me briefly, then finally spoke.

“Delilah,” he said carefully, “don’t you think it’s better to let Teddy know you’re leaving the house?”

I arched an eyebrow at him, folding one leg over the other as I fixed my gaze on the tinted window. “Teddy doesn’t care about my whereabouts, Gaston. He only cares when I’m in his way.” My lips curled into a thin smile. “And right now, the last thing I need is to ask his permission. I need to get to his father’s place, and the sooner, the better.”

He opened his mouth to argue, but I raised a hand, silencing him. My mind was already set. Teddy might be strong, but even he knew that his father’s shadow loomed larger than his own. If Teddy wanted to play games, then I would involve the one person who could

  • Wanted By The Sexy Mafia Boss   An Intrusion

    Chapter 55: An Intrusion Teddy’s POVHer voice cut through the air like broken glass. Smooth, sharp, grating against my nerves all at once. Delilah, standing there in front of my associates, smirking as though she had just won a battle none of us had even signed up for.For a moment, I could only stare at her. My mind caught between disbelief and fury. She had the audacity to follow me here—to New Zealand, of all places—and stroll into a private meeting as though she owned the entire floor.The tension in the room was thick enough to choke on. I caught sight of Sam, hovering awkwardly by the doorway, looking like a cornered animal. His eyes flicked from me to Delilah, guilt and panic written all over his face. He wasn’t prepared for this, but then again, neither was I.“Delilah,” I finally said, my voice low, clipped. I could feel every gaze in the room drilling into me, waiting to see how I’d react. “This is not the time. Nor the place.”She laughed lightly, stepping further into th

  • Wanted By The Sexy Mafia Boss   Delilah's Escapades

    Chapter 54: Delilah's Escapades.Delilah’s POVThe hum of the private jet soothed me, though inside, I was anything but calm. My fury had been simmering since Teddy walked out with that boy—Sam—without so much as glancing in my direction. He had ignored me, ignored the fact that I was supposed to be his fiancée, the woman everyone expected him to marry. Now he had jetted off to New Zealand, and I wasn’t going to sit idly by while rumors flew around that Teddy was eloping.No. If he thought he could run from me, he was sorely mistaken.The jet touched down late in the evening, the city lights of Auckland glittering like jewels across the harbor. I stepped out with my suitcase, every inch of me composed, collected. My driver was already waiting, and within minutes, I was being ushered into the exact hotel Teddy had chosen. The concierge didn’t even bat an eye as I checked in under a false name. It wasn’t hard—I had money, influence, and a knack for getting what I wanted.And there it wa

  • Wanted By The Sexy Mafia Boss   Intimacy And Calmness

    Chapter 53: Intimacy And Calmness.Sam’s POVThe roar of the engines hummed beneath my feet as I stepped onto the private jet, Teddy a few steps ahead of me. He didn’t even glance back to see if I was following—he knew I would. It was the silent pull between us. The trip had been sudden. Last night, after we had been tangled in sheets and heavy kisses, he’d told me to pack lightly because I was coming with him. No explanations, no negotiations. And now here we were, boarding a jet bound for New Zealand.I tried to keep my expression unreadable, though inside I was torn. Part of me was still on edge from the anonymous message Teddy had received. Whoever was sending them knew something, or at least thought they did. I wondered if Teddy had told anyone else. He hadn’t brought it up to me, which meant it was still on his mind, simmering beneath the surface.“Get comfortable,” Teddy’s voice broke into my thoughts. He gestured to the plush leather seats of the jet, his usual confident smirk

  • Wanted By The Sexy Mafia Boss   Heated Passion

    Chapter 52: Heated Passion Delilah’s POV The moment Max shoved me into my room, I nearly tore the curtains off the walls. My blood boiled so fiercely I could barely breathe. Teddy. That arrogant bastard. Leaving me—me—for some stray dog he picked up off the streets.I paced, my nails digging crescents into my palms. The gall of him. I had stood by his side when everyone whispered behind his back. I defended him when they said he’d never be strong enough to lead. I threw away my pride, my family’s expectations, just to be his. And now? He tossed me aside like I was nothing.“Delilah.”The voice came from the corner of the room. I turned sharply to find Gaston, leaning casually against the dresser, watching me with his usual smirk. He had slipped in without knocking, as he always did, as though the house itself obeyed him.I stalked toward him. “Don’t start with me.”He tilted his head, unfazed by my rage. “You’re wasting your energy screaming at the walls. Teddy doesn’t care. He neve

  • Wanted By The Sexy Mafia Boss   Morning And Chaos

    Chapter 51: Morning and Chaos.Teddy’s POV Morning had barely settled over the compound when I found myself pacing back and forth in my room. My suitcase sat open on the bed, Sam quietly folding my shirts with meticulous care. He was too calm, too focused, like none of this meant anything to him. Maybe that was what drove me mad — his calm. His distance.“Pack faster,” I said, sharper than I intended.Sam raised his eyes briefly, his expression unreadable. “It’ll be done before you’re ready.”I wanted to say something — anything — about the way he looked last night when he was in my arms, the way his breath had hitched against my mouth. But words failed me. Instead, I turned to the mirror, adjusted my cufflinks, and tried to erase the memory of his lips against mine.A knock sounded, light at first, then insistent.“Don’t,” I muttered to Sam before walking toward the door.When I opened it, Max barged in, not waiting for permission. “Everything set for the trip?”“Almost.”His gaze f

  • Wanted By The Sexy Mafia Boss   Subtle Warning

    Chapter 50: Subtle Warning Sam’s POV The first thing I felt was Teddy’s lips on my skin.It was still early, his room a bit dark with only the bedside lamp throwing a soft golden glow. We were both on the bed, his arm heavy around me like he was trying to anchor me in place. I’d told him last night that I had to get back to my room eventually — and he’d ignored me completely.This morning, he still wasn’t letting me go.“Stay a little longer,” he murmured, pulling me closer and brushing his lips against my neck.I shouldn’t have stayed. I knew that. But when his mouth found mine and his hand slid under my shirt, I forgot about every reason why I should leave.Our kiss turned heated fast, his body pressing me deeper into the mattress.“Teddy,” I whispered, but my voice came out weak, almost a plea.“Don’t pretend you don’t want this,” he said, his thumb grazing my jaw before he kissed me again.He was right — I didn’t pretend. I wanted him, maybe too much.By the time I left his room
