Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

What does a person do when they have no other way left? When every door is shut and every path leads to a dead end? They adapt. They make peace with their circumstances, not because they want to, but because it's the only way to survive. And that's exactly what I’ve done. I’ve stopped questioning and stopped fighting the inevitable. Maybe it’s not acceptance—maybe it’s just exhaustion. But to stay sane, I’ve convinced myself that this is my reality now; that resisting won’t change anything. I don't know if it is making me weak; all I know is that it is necessary for me not to go completely mad in this house. I have faith in God that, soon, He will give me a reason not just to survive but to truly live—to be genuinely happy. I was done folding all the clothes and was arranging them in the wardrobe when the door opened. I didn't bother to look that way; it was probably a servant coming to call me for lunch. "What are you doing?" I was surprised to hear Nikolai's voice. He w

My heart started pounding in my chest as Nikolai drove toward our destination. My mind was busy thinking of ways to deceive the mafia king and get what I wanted. I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but I had no other option. Even if he wasn't home, I would have to find a way to get my hands on a pregnancy kit. Suddenly, fresh air hit my face as Nikolai rolled down the window. I frowned and turned my head to Nikolai, finding his attention on the road. "Fresh air," he reminded me. "That’s what you wanted, right?" I slowly nodded and shifted my attention back to the road. The air carried the scent of damp earth. The ride was quiet, but my mind was filled with many thoughts. "Hope it’s doing you some good!" Nikolai asked all of a sudden. I nodded again without turning to look at him. Nikolai had always stayed one step ahead of me. In the past, he had always figured out what I was planning. I just hoped he wasn't already suspicious. My body leans forward when he braked in front o

Why today? Why, out of all the days, did Nikolai decide to work from home today? It seems like today is not my day. After so much difficulty, I was able to secure an appointment with a gynecologist today. And today, he had to park himself in the same room as me, making it impossible for me to sneak out. I clenched my jaw as I watched him lounging comfortably on the couch, laptop perched on his lap. He normally works from his study, but today, he has to be by my side all the time. Sometimes, it feels like he actually has the power to read minds. Whenever I plan something, he is always there to ruin it. I have been waiting for him to step out of the room since morning, but he hasn't moved from his place. Sigh. I tapped my foot impatiently, glancing at the clock for what felt like the hundredth time. My appointment was in less than an hour, and I had to get out oftheree. "What happened?" Nikolai's deep voice snapped me out of my trance. You happened. "Is everything al

I woke up to soft cries. I blinked multiple times to clear my vision and found myself sitting in a dimly lit room. The only source of light was the lamp at the bedside. My arms felt too heavy to move and turn on the lights. The cries intensified, so I slowly turned onto my side. My breath hitched in my throat when I saw a small form lying beside me, throwing his tiny hands and legs in the air. A baby. My baby. Looking at a small part of me, my body filled with new energy. I immediately sat up and turned on the lights. He stopped crying for a second as his lips parted, but then he started crying again. I scooped him into my arms and brought him close to my chest. I placed a kiss on his tiny forehead. One of his tiny fists was curled against his chest while the other reached for a strand of my hair. He felt so soft against me. My breath hitched as I ran a trembling finger along his chubby cheek. Slowly, he stopped crying and made a soft baby sound before nuzzling closer to me.

My heart shot to my throat the moment I felt him position himself behind me. His hand stroked himself slowly, as if preparing to claim what he believed was already his. My eyes widened, and every nerve in my body lit up with urgency. I panicked. I needed to do something to stop him before it went too far. I didn’t want to regret this for life. An idea came to my mind, and I acted before I could even second-guess myself. I was not sure if it would work, but I knew I needed to stop Nikolai, right here and now. I took a shaky breath, and just as he was about to push forward, I immediately removed my hands from the wall and stood straight, just in time. "What?" he barked, clearly irritated. His voice was rough with frustration and hunger. He was just about to have what he wanted, but it slipped away from his fingers a second before. I immediately turned around to face him. His eyebrows were knitted together, his jaw was tight, and his damp hair stuck to his forehead. He looked
