Semua Bab TRAPPED IN MY MAFIA HUSBAND'S FATAL REPLAY: Bab 31 - Bab 36

Despite the chaos brewing behind the scenes, I could feel the shift in Kael’s actions—subtle yet undeniable. He was more protective, more present, and it terrified me how easily I was starting to rely on that presence.Zane’s watchful eyes followed my every move. His presence had become a shadow, lingering in the background, assessing, calculating. I knew why Kael assigned him to keep an eye on me—he was still questioning how I knew things I shouldn't. But that didn’t mean I had to make it easy for them.Tonight, The Raven’s Nest was filled with whispers—whispers about me. Arabella and Isabella had finally made their move, and they played dirty. Headlines flooded the media, painting me as a manipulative woman, a gold digger who had seduced Kael for power. Fabricated stories of past affairs, falsified documents claiming I had ties to the Wilder Cartel—it was a full-blown smear campaign, orchestrated to destroy my place by Kael’s side.Kael had been quiet all morning, his expression unr

The underground passage was cold and narrow, the scent of damp earth filling the air. Every step we took was cautious, the distant echo of gunfire still ringing above us. My pulse thrummed in my ears as I kept close to Kael, my fingers tingling from the adrenaline still coursing through my veins.Zane led the way, his gun drawn as he checked each turn before motioning for us to follow. The passage stretched longer than I expected, but I knew we were nearing the exit. Relief settled in my chest, but it was fleeting. We weren’t safe yet.Kael’s hand found the small of my back, guiding me forward with a touch so subtle, yet possessive, that it sent shivers down my spine. He hadn’t said much since we entered the tunnel, but I could feel the weight of his thoughts pressing down on him.Finally, the faint outline of a metal door appeared ahead. Zane tested the handle before giving a sharp nod. “Coast is clear.”Kael exhaled, then turned to me. “Stay close.”I rolled my eyes. “That’s what I’

I felt the warmth of Kael’s lips fade as he pulled away, but his hands remained on either side of my face, his breath uneven. His forehead rested against mine, his grip firm yet uncertain—like he was holding onto something he couldn’t quite understand.I swallowed hard, my heart hammering in my chest. “Kael…”His fingers traced down my jawline, his touch featherlight. “You drive me insane,” he murmured, almost to himself. “I don’t know if I want to strangle you or keep you locked away so no one else can have you.”A wry smile tugged at my lips. “Romantic.”His eyes darkened, but there was no anger—only something far more dangerous. Fascination. Need. Possession.I reached for his wrist, my fingers brushing against the cool metal of his watch. “You kissed me.”Kael tilted his head, studying me like I was a puzzle he couldn’t quite solve. “You kissed me back.”I did.
