Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Mafia's mistress (His temptation) : Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

The sound of laughter and cheerful voices filled the grand hallway as Aurora descended the staircase. She had spent most of the morning trying to make sense of Damian’s confession, but there was no time to dwell on it now. Something was happening downstairs—something loud and unsettling. As she stepped closer, she froze. There, standing in the middle of the living room, was Lina. She looked smug, her lips curled into a triumphant smile, and beside her stood Raphael. Aurora felt a pang of irritation. She had met Damian’s brother before, but his presence here, alongside Lina, was enough to send alarm bells ringing in her head. Aurora felt her chest tighten as Lina’s gaze landed on her. The other woman’s smile widened, her eyes glinting with mischief. “Ah, there she is,” Lina said, her voice dripping with false sweetness. “The maid turned favorite.” Aurora didn’t respond, keeping her expression neutral as her eyes flickered to Raphael. He had the same smug air about him as before, his

Aurora's heart raced as she hurried down the corridor. Her mind was still spinning from the events of the past few hours. She had barely been able to process everything that had happened, but she couldn’t waste any more time. She needed to talk to Damian. She needed to explain herself before Lina’s lies twisted everything.She reached Damian's room and knocked quickly. Her palms were sweaty, her chest tight with anxiety. She had to get this right. She couldn’t lose him. Not after everything they’d been through.The door swung open, and there stood Damian, his face unreadable. His eyes met hers, and for a moment, there was silence. Aurora took a deep breath, her throat dry."Damian, I need to talk to you," she said quickly, her voice trembling.Damian stepped aside, allowing her to enter. She walked in, the door closing softly behind her. She turned to face him, her heart thumping loudly in her chest."I didn’t do anything with Raphael," Aurora blurted out. "It was all a trap. Lina set

The days dragged on in a tense silence, the atmosphere in the house colder than ever. Aurora had never felt so distant from Damian. Each day, she watched as he grew more affectionate toward Lina and colder toward her. It was hard to keep pretending that everything was fine, especially when she could see the way Lina seemed to take pleasure in Damian’s indifference toward her. Every time Damian ignored her, Lina’s smile seemed to grow wider, her confidence rising.Damian’s behavior was a calculated move in their plan, but it still hurt. The way he would look at her with cold eyes, the way his voice would be sharp and dismissive it was as if she was nothing to him. And perhaps that was the hardest part of all: realizing that, in this game, she really was nothing to him anymore.But it wasn’t just about the coldness. Damian had taken to treating her like a servant in front of everyone. He barely spoke to her unless it was to give an order. She would serve him in silence, her heart sinkin

Lina walked back to her room, her mind racing. The door clicked softly behind her as she entered. She didn’t turn on the lights; she didn’t need to. The room was dark, but it didn’t matter. She sat on the edge of her bed, staring at the floor, her hands shaking with frustration.She had failed.She thought she had it all figured out. She was sure that if she dressed the right way and said the right things, Damian would finally notice her. He would see her for what she was. She would be the one in control. But now, she was left with nothing but humiliation. She couldn’t understand it. How could he not want her? She was beautiful, confident, everything he could ever need. Why was he so focused on Aurora?Aurora.The thought of the maid sent a surge of anger through Lina’s veins. She was the problem, wasn’t she? The reason Damian wasn’t looking at Lina the way he should. She was the one who kept getting in the way. Aurora didn’t belong here. She was nothing, just a maid who was lucky eno

Emma was sitting in the garden, enjoying the soft breeze and the quiet around her. She had been trying to keep her mind off all the drama lately Lina’s schemes, Damian’s cold behavior, and her own feelings that she couldn’t quite understand. The garden was her escape, a place where she could breathe and not think about anyone else.She didn’t hear Raphael approaching until he spoke.“You look peaceful here,” he said smoothly, his voice soft but clear.Emma jumped slightly, startled by the sudden sound. She turned to see Raphael standing a few feet away, leaning casually against a tree. He looked calm, almost too calm, with that easy smile on his face that she didn’t trust.“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you,” he said, stepping closer.Emma frowned but stayed seated. She wasn’t sure what he wanted, but she didn’t trust him. “What do you want?” she asked, her tone guarded.Raphael chuckled softly. “No need to be so defensive, Emma. I just wanted to talk. You looked lonely out here.”“I’
