Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Mafia's mistress (His temptation) : Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

Aurora stood in the grand hall, her fingers clutching the edge of her apron nervously as Lina barked orders.“You’ll go into the city for me,” Lina said with a syrupy sweet smile that didn’t reach her cold eyes. “Pick up a package from the address I’ll give you.”Aurora blinked in surprise. She had never been sent out of the mansion before. The thought of leaving, even for a brief errand, unsettled her.“I’ve never done this before,” Aurora said hesitantly.Lina’s smile grew sharper. “There’s a first time for everything, isn’t there? It’s a simple task, Aurora. Or is even this beyond you?”Damian, who had been silently observing from the doorway, stepped in. His dark eyes bore into Lina. “Aurora doesn’t go out. Send someone else.”Lina raised a perfectly arched brow. “Why? Is she so fragile she can’t run an errand? Or are you afraid she’ll run away?”Damian’s jaw tightened. His hands clenched at his sides, but he didn’t respond immediately. He turned to Aurora instead. “You don’t have

Damian's eyes burned with fury as he took a step toward Lina, his hands balled into tight fists at his sides. His heart was pounding in his chest, his thoughts spinning. He had known something was wrong, but hearing Lina's words made the air feel thick, suffocating. His body moved on instinct, and before Lina could take another breath, Damian grabbed her by the neck, lifting her off the ground and slamming her against the wall.Her breath hitched, her eyes wide with shock, but she didn't struggle as much as he expected. Maybe she was too surprised to react, or maybe she was finally realizing just how dangerous this situation had become.Damian leaned in close, his face inches from hers, his voice low and dangerous. “If anything happens to Aurora, Lina,” he growled, tightening his grip around her neck, “I swear to God, I will make you regret it.”Lina’s hands clawed at his wrist, trying to loosen his grip, but her efforts were weak. Her lips trembled as she tried to speak, her voice ba

The silence in Damian’s car was suffocating. His knuckles were white against the steering wheel as he sped through the empty streets, his mind clouded with fear and rage. He had searched everywhere every alley, every corner of the city but there was no sign of Aurora. It was as if she had vanished into thin air.The thought of her being alone, scared, and hurt made his chest tighten. He slammed his foot on the brakes, the car screeching to a halt in front of the decrepit warehouse his sources had pointed him to.Damian stepped out, his breath visible in the cold night air. The building loomed before him, dark and uninviting, but he didn’t hesitate. He pushed through the broken door, the metal groaning under his force. Inside, the smell of oil and rust filled his nose, but the sight was worse empty crates and dust-covered machinery scattered everywhere.No Aurora.“Damn it!” he hissed, slamming his fist against a nearby wall. His voice echoed through the hollow space, but it brought hi

Aurora had barely slept. The day’s events were too vivid, too raw in her mind. Every detail of his cold, commanding voice and the cruel glint in his eyes replayed in an endless loop. She sat curled up on the edge of the small, hard cot the maids had led her to after her encounter with him. It was clear they had no intention of treating her like a guest in this house.When the knock came, she startled, her heart jumping into her throat. The door creaked open, and a pair of maids entered, their faces pale and nervous. Neither would meet her eyes.“Get up,” one of them said softly, her voice barely audible. “He’s waiting.”Aurora felt her stomach churn. She wanted to protest, to resist, but the words died in her throat. She didn’t trust her own voice not to betray her fear. Reluctantly, she rose to her feet, smoothing down the worn dress they had given her earlier.The maids exchanged a glance before stepping aside to let her pass. Their silence was suffocating as they escorted her throu

The first thing Aurora became aware of was the ache in her body. It was a dull, all-encompassing pain that radiated from her core and seemed to weigh down every limb. She stirred slightly, her movements sluggish, her eyelids heavy as if they were weighed down by bricks.“Miss,” a soft voice whispered, pulling her from the haze of unconsciousness. “Miss Aurora… are you awake?”Aurora’s eyes fluttered open, the morning light filtering through the tall, velvet-draped windows. The room was quiet, almost serene, a sharp contrast to the storm of emotions raging inside her chest.The ache between her legs brought the memories crashing back, and she flinched, a sharp gasp escaping her lips as her breath hitched.“It’s okay,” the voice soothed. “You’re safe now.”Safe? The word felt hollow, meaningless. She turned her head slowly, her vision adjusting to see one of the maids sitting beside her. The young woman’s face was pale, her eyes shadowed with worry and pity.“You fainted last night,” th
