The Mafia's Unwanted Wife のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Since Noah dropped me off that night, I couldn't get what happened out of my mind.I was sure I hadn't gotten into any fights or done anything to lead to this. I don't have any time to fight with anyone else because of how drained I am with Lucas. I don't have time for that. The only person I had a conflict with was Lucas, but that was impossible. He probably wouldn't go to such lengths. But then, what if he did?I grabbed my cell phone and searched for his name. I wanted to call him, but I held back. But still, I didn't want to come across as accusatory. What if it wasn't him?I sighed and picked up my crochet kit basket. It had been a few days since the incident, and despite my efforts, I couldn't shake off the fear I felt for myself.I still hadn't gone outside. There was no certainty that I was actually being followed, but the fear lingered. In my entire life, this was the first time I had encountered something like this, and Noah was the first to know.I pushed those thoughts as

"Do you need accompany?" I raised an eyebrow at Haze's question. I was quite surprised since it seemed like he kept popping up in front of me out of nowhere. "No," I replied and returned my gaze ahead. I heard his laugh before he sat down next to me. "Why aren't you with someone? It's dangerous for you, especially being a woman," he said. I just sighed and absentmindedly drew patterns in the sand next to me. "You've been catching the attention of the guys around here. Actually, even until now," he prodded again. "Do you know what's more unsettling?" I retorted. He looked slightly taken aback, but then she chuckled after a moment. "Come on, it's not like we're from the same city—" "And how can you be sure that we're not from the same place? What's scarier is if you claim to know where I live." To be honest, I had run out of patience with him since yesterday. I didn't know what the universe was playing at, continually crossing our paths. He fell silent, which I greatly appreci

I could hardly move my body when I woke up. I winced in pain from the discomfort I was feeling in parts of my body. I slowly adjusted my eyes to the light. I wanted to scan my surroundings, but it was challenging due to the brace around my neck. I heard the door opening. "Aurora, my dear," Mommy's voice said. I managed to look at her as she approached me. She was alone, which was unexpected. She is not who I thought I'd see here."My," I greeted her with a weak smile. "What happened to you?" she asked, sounding concerned. "A fast car suddenly came in my lane, so I swerved," I explained. "Is... Lucas here?" I asked hesitantly. Looking for the guy I called last night to help me. "Your husband just left. He said there's an emergency meeting at his company, and he needed to go there. Coincidentally, I had just arrived," she replied. I closed my eyes, trying to suppress a laugh at my own foolishness. Why do I even expected to wake up and see him in this room. "And Daddy?" I inquir

"We don't know what else he's planning. We can't catch his plans, and what's even more concerning is that it seems like he knows our plans." "Kill him," Lucas' voice was firm. I was on my way out when I overheard them talking by the pool area. Curiosity got the best of me. Instead of walking away, I managed to hide behind a curtain where I knew they couldn't see me. "If that's the only way to stop him, then so be it. Kill him," Lucas reiterated. "But we're not like that, Lucas. We correct mistakes and don't resort to killing." "Do you think we can apply that to him? That man has no soul left, and no matter what you do, he won't change," Lucas argued. My eyes widened when I accidentally moved a large vase behind me, causing it to make a noise. I felt a sense of fear when no one spoke anymore. I swallowed hard and quickly moved to the other side. My heart raced as I heard the curtains being rustled. I doubled my fear, covering my mouth to stifle any sound. "It's nothing. Probabl

I paused from sipping my water when I spotted a familiar face. Right now, I'm at the gym. It's been a while since I stopped working out, and I thought today was the best day to pick up where I left off, even though I've embraced the role of a housewife. "Look how small our country is," he remarked. I ignored him and, with my bag in tow, I stood up. I'm done with my workout anyway, and I can't wait to take a shower since I'm already sweaty. "Okay," he said, nodding as he continued trailing behind me. "Still the girl who doesn't acknowledge, I see." "Girl's locker room," I pointed to the sign above, while Haze continued to follow me closely. He raised his hands in surrender. I rolled my eyes and went inside. I had no idea why he was here again. It didn't even cross my mind that we'd meet again. I cleaned up and put on a simple pair of denim shorts and a white shirt. I was about to smack him when he intercepted me as I exited the locker room. "Are you crazy?" I said, irritated.
