All Chapters of Mafia King's Substitute Wife: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Carmine's POVI let out a deep sigh as soon as Sylus stepped out of our room. I still can't forget what he just told me. He said he was really suspicious of me. He even told me we would go back to my doctor to ask about the things that he is being suspicious about.Now I have to think of a better excuse for him not to go to a different doctor. If he does that, for sure I'm doomed."How did he find out about you going to a bar?" Luke asked me over the phone. Ever since he found out about my plan and real motive, Luke Greene became the one I always call whenever Sylus does something that would make him find out about my plan."He surely hired a private investigator for it. He is a mafia boss, it's not impossible for him to do that.""You're right. Then you have to be extra careful. Sylus is smart, and he always wants to get what he wants. Make sure you never let your guard down."I nodded my head as if Luke could actually see me. "I understand.""Also, you have to delete every conversa

Slowly, I moved my face close to Sylus. He was just staring back at me, waiting for my next steps. I could feel my heart beating so fast as I stood on my toes and put both of my hands on his shoulders before I closed my eyes and pressed my lips against his. Sylus's lips were warm, firm, and tasted like whiskey and desire. He didn't move at first, like he was letting me lead. Then his arms wrapped around me, pulling me closer. The kiss was deep, hungry, like we were both starving for it. I felt like I was losing myself in him, in the taste of his lips, in the way he was holding me like I'd disappear if he let go. He pushed me back onto the bed, his body over mine. The kiss didn't break, like we were both afraid to breathe. I felt the weight of him, the heat of his skin through the thin shirt he wore. My heart was pounding so loud I was sure he'd hear it. Sylus's lips left mine, trailed down my neck. I felt shivers, like my whole body was alive. "Charlotte," he whispered,

"Mommy! Daddy!" Natalia came running to us as soon as Sylus and I arrived home. "Hello there, sweetheart. We missed you so much," I said as I hugged her tightly. She smiled and hugged me back. "I missed you too, mommy and daddy..." "Have you been a good girl?" Sylus asked her. "Yes, daddy! I got high scores from our tests while you were in Madrid!" Sylus nodded his head as he patted Natalia's head. "That's my girl. What do you want as a prize, huh? Do you want daddy to buy you something?" "I want a new doll house, daddy!" "Of course! Anything for you, my princess." We played with Natalia for a while before we finally headed to our room to take some rest since it was already evening, too. "Wanna take a bath together?" Sylus suddenly asked me. My eyes widened with his sudden invitation. "W-What?" "Aren't you going to take a bath before going to sleep with me?" "Y-You take a bath first. I just have to call someone first." He raised his brows, "Who are you ca

I sighed as I rumpaged through Luke's kitchen, trying to find the ingredients for porridge. The place was a mess, and I was starting to wonder if I was doing more harm than good. The sound of Luke's coughing grew louder, and I quickened my pace. As I finally managed to boil some water and cook the porridge, I heard a loud thud from the living room. My heart skipped a beat as I rushed back to Luke's side. He was lying on the sofa, his eyes closed, and his face was flushed. I panicked, thinking he had passed out again. "Luke! Luke, are you okay?" I shook him gently, trying to wake him up. He opened his eyes, looking at me with a dazed expression. "C-Carmine... what's... happening?" he muttered, his voice hoarse. I helped him sit up, and he leaned against the sofa, looking exhausted. "You need to take your medicine," I said firmly, trying to sound like I knew what I was doing. He nodded weakly, and I quickly fetched his medicine from the kitchen. As I handed him the pills and a

I opened the door to our apartment, expecting a quiet morning after taking care of Luke. But as I stepped inside, I saw Sylus lounging on the couch, looking way too smug . He was wearing those low-slung jeans that made him look like he just rolled out of bed – which, knowing him, he probably did – and a plain white shirt that was unbuttoned at the top, showing a hint of his chest. His hair was messy, and his eyes sparkled with amusement as he looked up at me. "Charlotte," he said, standing up and walking towards me with that lazy confidence of his. His eyes scanned me like he was checking if I was okay, lingering on my face a bit longer than necessary. "How's Luke?" I shrugged, trying to play it cool as I dropped my bag on the floor. "He's fine. Better now." I kicked off my shoes and walked towards the kitchen, trying to put some distance between us. I needed a moment to breathe after dealing with Luke's weirdness about the portrait. Sylus followed me into the kitchen, leaning a
