The study of Musk Mansion glowed dimly with firelight, tall shelves casting shadows that seemed to listen more closely than men. Outside, rain lashed against the windows, but within, only the slow tick of a clock and the crackle of the hearth filled the silence.

Don Victor sat in his high-backed chair, a glass of amber wine untouched in his hand. He swirled it absently, not for the taste but as if searching its depths for something lost. His gaze was fixed on the young man before him.

  • When the Fool Heals the Mafia   Chapter 65: A Morning That Felt Different

    “So from now on, we’ll need to sleep in the same room.”Amara looked at Zogo again after hearing those words, her thoughts pausing slightly as she quietly processed what he meant. This time, her gaze remained on him longer than before. Her expression stayed calm as always, unreadable and composed, yet internally, she could not deny that the situation still felt unfamiliar to her.They were married now.This was Zogo’s mansion, his room, his space. And no matter how unfamiliar the situation still felt to her, Amara could not deny that what he said was reasonable. By every right, a husband and wife sharing the same room was completely normal. Even if part of her still needed time to adjust to it,she knew there was no reason for her to argue against it anymore.In the end, Amara quietly lay back down without arguing further. Exhaustion from everything that had happened earlier slowly returned to her body, making her eyelids feel heavy again as she pulled the blanket slightly higher aroun

  • When the Fool Heals the Mafia   Chapter 64: Midnight in the Walton Mansion

    The night inside Walton Estate was unusually peaceful, the kind of silence that only existed deep into the night when the rest of the world had already fallen asleep. Outside, the soft wind moved gently through the massive trees surrounding the estate, causing faint rustling sounds beneath the pale glow of the moonlight. The enormous Walton mansion, usually cold and imposing, stood quietly beneath the dark sky while silver light stretched across the empty hallways and polished floors.Most of the servants had already retired for the night. The mansion that was often filled with footsteps during the day had finally become still, leaving behind only calm silence and the distant ticking of the antique clock downstairs.Inside Amara’s room, the atmosphere was warm and dim.Only the small bedside lamp remained open, casting a soft golden glow across the elegant room and the large bed near the windows. The curtains swayed slightly from the faint breeze slipping through the partially opened

  • When the Fool Heals the Mafia   Chapter 63: The Secrets Around Her

    Amara continued speaking naturally, her calm tone making it sound as if she was discussing something simple and completely reasonable.“You’ll become the vice president for now,” she said while calmly drinking her water. “I still have other things to handle, so I can’t manage everything in the Musk Company myself.”For a moment, the dining table fell silent.Then the meaning of her words finally sank into Wendel’s head.His eyes widened immediately.“What?!” he almost shouted, looking genuinely horrified as he pointed at himself in disbelief. “Miss, I already have too much on my plate right now!”He leaned back dramatically in his chair before placing a hand over his chest like someone who had just received terrible news.“Do you know how hard I’ve been working lately?” he continued complaining shamelessly. “I barely even sleep anymore!”Brook quietly drank his water while trying not to laugh.Jerald already looked entertained.Wendel, however, was still desperately trying to save him

  • When the Fool Heals the Mafia   Chapter 62: A Warmer Mansion

    The old man’s eyes narrowed as his thoughts turned colder and more calculated. He already knew the stories surrounding Amara Musk and the Musk family. Ever since her parents died, the city had quietly labeled her as unstable, a pitiful heiress constantly hidden under Don Victor’s protection. But since none of it had anything to do with the Walton family before, Solomon never paid much attention to those rumors.But now, things were different.No matter how he looked at it, Amara did not seem like someone who belonged beside his grandson.And yet…Zogo had acknowledged her as his wife without the slightest hesitation.That alone unsettled Solomon.Because more than anyone else, he understood his grandson. Zogo was never impulsive. Never emotional. Every decision he made carried weight, strategy, and intention. Which meant if he had chosen to marry Amara Musk, then there was something about her the rest of the city had not yet uncovered.A quiet knock of porcelain broke the silence as th

  • When the Fool Heals the Mafia   Chapter 61: The Old Man’s Decision

    Amara looked at him before shaking her head slightly. “It’s okay. I can handle them myself.”Brook leaned lightly against the wall while Jerald stayed beside him quietly observing the exchange.Finn cleared his throat before speaking carefully. “Mr. Walton also has an important meeting tomorrow. He might not be able to stay close the entire time.”“That’s fine,” Amara replied calmly.Zogo’s brows furrowed faintly, clearly still dissatisfied with the idea of her going alone. His thoughts briefly shifted to the board of directors meeting tomorrow: political pressure, hidden agendas, and people who would immediately sense weakness if Amara walked in without proper protection or support.Then suddenly, he looked toward Jerald.“From tomorrow onward,” Zogo said calmly, “you’ll stay beside Amara.”Jerald blinked once in slight surprise.“As her bodyguard?”“Yes.” The answer came immediately.Brook looked amused from the side while Wendel raised a brow.Jerald straightened slightly before no

  • When the Fool Heals the Mafia   Chapter 60: The Calm Before the Next Move

    At the Walton Mansion, the atmosphere had already settled into an uneasy calm after the chaos at the cemetery. The large living room, with its towering ceiling, crystal chandelier, and expensive European-style furniture, felt almost too quiet now like the house itself was holding its breath after everything that had happened.Dr. Rafael sat comfortably on one of the plush sofas, his posture relaxed as if he had just finished a routine procedure rather than a battlefield operation. Across from him, Wendel could not stay still. He kept walking around the room like a curious child, eyes wide with open fascination as he examined everything the polished marble floors, the intricate carvings on the furniture, the sheer scale of wealth displayed in every corner.“This place is insane…” Wendel muttered under his breath, lightly tapping the edge of a table as if confirming it was real. “How much money do you even waste living like this, Zogo?”Zogo, standing near the side of the room with a to

  • When the Fool Heals the Mafia   Chapter 28: The Lab Felt Alive.

    The old stone walls, smooth from hundreds of years of touch, glowed in the warm light of the braziers. Copper pipes ran across the ceiling like the veins of a giant machine, dripping with water from the cold air outside. On the benches, rows of glass bottles and jars stood in perfect order some new

    The heavy stone door groaned shut behind them, sealing the group inside. The air here was warmer, richer, carrying the faint scents of earth, herbs, and metal. Zogo felt it press in on him not suffocating, but thick, as if the very atmosphere carried the weight of centuries.The chamber was alive i

    After their quiet exchange outside the hospital room, silence fell between Zogo and Amara. It wasn’t the cold, awkward kind…...it was the heavy, unspoken kind. Both of them stood there, side by side, as if their words were too fragile to voice.Cristy appeared first, her phone in hand, scanning the

  • When the Fool Heals the Mafia   Chapter 25: Silent Promises

    Zogo hadn’t said a word since they entered, but his eyes never left her, watching the way she dismantled the head doctor’s confidence with nothing more than precision and truth.The room fell into a tense silence, the steady beeping of the monitors the only sound.Finally, Amara looked down at the
