All Chapters of Mafia King’s Regret: Winning Rebellious Bride Back: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

The soft hum of the scanner filled the room as Vera leaned over her desk, flipping through yet another thick stack of documents. Her eyes burned, sleep-deprived and heavy, but her hands didn’t stop.Across from her, two of her lawyers sat with solemn expressions.“This is official,” one of them said, tapping the heading on the fresh document. “A preliminary injunction from Orion Enterprises. They’re claiming breach of business protocol under subsection eight of the contract. We’ll need to prepare a counter-suit.”Vera closed her eyes for a beat. “Will we win?”A silence followed. Then the elder lawyer finally answered, “We can fight, but the odds are... not in our favor. Their legal team is solid, and the clause is airtight. Unless you talk to the owner of the Orion enterprise,"Her phone buzzed sharply. She hesitated—then picked up.“…Hello?” A moment of quiet.Then, Kade’s smooth voice flowed through the line like syrup laced with poison. “Don’t hang up, Vera. Just hear me out.”Her

Vera flung the door open without thinking. Her breath caught the moment she saw him.Roman stood there—silent, still. His face was unreadable, locked in that cold mask he always wore. But beneath that, she knew there was something else. She could feel it, even through the wall of his indifference.Inside her, a storm was tearing through. Fear. Betrayal. Confusion. And something worse—doubt.Would he believe her? If he found out what had been done behind his back—about Kade, about the manipulation—what would he do to her? Would he protect her… or destroy her?He furrowed his brow, eyes narrowing slightly.But before he could say a word, she stepped forward and threw her arms around him.Her body trembled as she pressed herself into him, clutching the back of his shirt like a lifeline. She didn’t care how he looked at her. She needed to feel safe. Even if it was just for a second—even if it was a lie.Roman stiffened at first, as if unsure what to do with the sudden closeness. But then,

But I needed you to know.Things shifted after that. Days passed. Kade stopped coming to school. He was a senior anyway, a bad one—always on the edge of suspension, and no one missed him when he disappeared. I thought maybe life was giving me a break. Maybe the worst was over.And then came the school picnic.It was supposed to be fun. Only a handful of students were selected, and I was genuinely excited to go. It felt like a moment to just be normal again. To be a teenager, not someone drowning under the weight of what had almost happened to her.We were taken to this place on the outskirts of the city—a massive, decaying estate with towering windows and creaking halls. The teachers called it Valemont House, but students had another name for it: The Hollow Wing. Everyone talked about it on the bus. It was the abandoned part of the house, sealed off decades ago, full of stories—secret stairwells, dead ends, rooms where people once disappeared. They said if you knocked on the right doo

Roman leaned back in his chair, the soft leather creaking beneath him. For the first time in months, the pressure in his chest had eased. The business was finally where he wanted it. The partnership with Viktor had turned out better than expected. Their combined influence had smoothed over months of conflict, silencing rivals and securing alliances.Professionally, everything was in place. Personally... that was another story. His gaze drifted toward the window, the city lights casting long shadows across his office. For weeks now, something had been shifting inside him—something he couldn’t ignore anymore.Vera.No matter how hard he had tried to hate her, to shut her out, she kept finding her way in. He’d told himself it was just guilt, obligation, the weight of a forced marriage. But that lie no longer held. He thought it was just a physical attraction, but every time he is inside her, it feels like he doesn't need anything now.Especially not after that night—the night she came ru

The cabin door beeped softly as Roman entered the code. The lock clicked open, and he pushed the door in with a quiet, deliberate motion.His eyes immediately landed on her.Vera sat cross-legged on the floor, a gray tabby cat curled in her lap. She looked up, startled at first, then offered him a faint, hesitant smile.He didn’t return it.Roman’s mind was clouded, spinning with the images he’d seen just hours ago. Images of her, too close to another man. Sleeping, touching his arm. The kind of smile he died to get from her. The door shut behind him with a soft thud. He stepped inside without a word.Vera gently placed the cat aside and rose to her feet. She walked into the kitchen area, filled a glass with water, and brought it to him. He took it without a glance, his jaw tight, his eyes never leaving her face as he settled on the couch.His silence was heavy—thick with unspoken accusation.She sat down slowly on the opposite end of the couch, hands folded in her lap. She looked at
