บททั้งหมดของ The Substitute Bride of the Mafia Tycoon: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

“Rose, let’s eat,” Zeno said after preparing the ramen. When they arrive at Kazimir’s house in Nome, Alaska, Annalise doesn’t communicate with Zeno as if she became distant after she witnessed how cruel he was when she killed most of the people who blocked their way.However, she knew that he needed to be heartless to survive that ambush because being soft-hearted would kill him. But she didn’t know why she needed to be distant from her husband. Aside from absorbing the incident, she remembered what Rose had said.“I can’t marry a cruel man.”Annalise closes her eyes as tight as she can. That phrase lingers in her head after locking herself in her room. She just wanted to think, but why was she feeling anxious? Is it because she married a cruel man?“Am I regretting the decision I have made?” she whispered to herself. “I just wanted to help, but why is this man being chased by a bunch of people who looked trained to kill people?”She gritted her teeth upon thinking how clueless she was

After leaving traces on my neck and chest, he glanced at me with adoring eyes. My heart whipped so badly as I felt my belly tickle.“You’re beautiful,” Zeno whispered as his hands dragged my shorts together with my undies. “You kept rubbing yourself against mine, huh?”I bit my lower lip when he told me those things, so I avoided his gaze, but to my surprise; he spread my legs effortlessly and then placed his on my sensitive part, which caused me to look at him while my lips parted.“There you go. Don’t be tempted to cut our eye contact, okay? Just look at me,” he commanded, then rubbing his finger to my clit.“Ahh!” I groaned and arched my back, causing me to press my chest onto his firm chest. He was rubbing me slowly, and I had no choice but to place my hands on his shoulder.“Don’t halt yourself on whimpering, baby. This room is soundproof. You can shout my name all you want,” he chuckled before lowering his head to my neck and licking it. “Fuck, baby. You’re so wet as hell! Are y

After that conversation, I decided to isolate myself in my room. I don’t know what to do anymore. He said that he had known me ever since, that we had a memory together, but I doubt it. I know that he’s completely a stranger to me and I know that he will not lie to me. I’m baffled. I don’t know if I can believe him after he hides that he was a Mafia member and a member of an organization. I don’t know if it’s right for me to believe in him and give him the trust that he deserves because he is still my husband, but I’m terrified. I know I should trust him, but I don’t know. I’m going crazy with what’s happening. There seems to be too much going on in my mind and I can’t be quiet if it isn’t answered. I can’t even remember how many days have passed. All I wanted was to think and let myself process everything and thankfully, Zeno let me. He’s been letting me think every time he gives me answers. I admire him for giving me time, but I feel bad at doubting him. If ever we both shared mem

The harmonious symphony that’s coming from Ciara’s phone replenished the entire area. The luminous smile was written on their expressions until it turned out to be an amusing laugh.They all look delighted while Elijah is talking, sharing experiences in his life, but Kazimir keeps his face straight. Happiness isn’t striking on his face, but I can see his eyes glisten even if he’s a little distant from me.We all had a wonderful dinner. It’s vibrant, and it was all thanks to them because they visited us here. However, after learning what our problem is, I can’t help but feel distressed. Everyone was trying to live as they could even if they were chased by death.I had an awful feeling about this, but this wasn’t the right time to waste this wonderful evening. Hopefully, this emotion will vanish.They spent their night here at Kazimir’s house. It’s kinda huge and I don’t know how many rooms it has, but Zeno decided to sleep in my room.After we shared the same bed and did that thing, I

“I don’t know if she will wake up now.” I mentally creased my forehead. Someone is talking but I can’t wake up. I’m aware that I’m sleeping, but why can’t I wake up?“It’s been 18 hours, Reese!” a familiar voice said. Wait — is that Zeno?“Dude, calm down. I know that she will wake up.”What are they talking about? Their voices are familiar but I can’t distinguish who they are. And come to think of it, my memories are back.Everything that happened before, I can now remember. I must say that we’ve been through a lot, especially Zeno, who did everything he could just to save me and protect me from his opponents.He isn’t cruel. He’s freaking risking his life for me and here I am, believing what the woman named Rose said before that he’s a cruel man. Although they told me that everything was planned, I can’t help but feel bad.“Zeno, I’m sorry for not being able to be at your side while you are striving so hard just to survive and get the justice that you are aiming for.”I wanted to te
