Semua Bab Traded to the Mafia Lord: Falling for him: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Nora POVI took a moment to calm myself down despite the surge of adrenaline rushing through me. I was disgusted at the mere sight of looking at them alone but a small smirk formed at the corner of my lips."Okay but do you mean the one beside my bed, Josephine?""Hmm, the one by the right stand."I paused. That meant I needed to make a turn to the right. A thought appeared to me and I dropped to my knees, crawling my way through the bed stand.From a reflection, I saw that the two had gone back to their irritable affection. I reached the bed stand and held the wood for support before turning, holding it still.I opened the large cabinet and seeing that they were still engaged, I intentionally let the contents fall to the ground causing them to panic."What are you doing Nora?" The nurse screamed out."I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to." I fell to my knees, picking up the bottles on the floor."Just bring the medicine," Landon spoke out, not wanting the plan to fail. "The one in a silver

Nora POV Tyler leaned back in his chair, his expression blank and unreadable as he listened to Landon speak with rapt attention.He let him believe he was convinced, watching the excitement in his voice and the sparkle in his eyes as he continued to explain why I was a better hostage, even stating my benefits to him as a woman.His voice brimmed with confidence, his pitch exaggerated with excitement of his brilliance."You don't understand, Tyler," Landon insisted, almost rising to his feet. "She won't resist. She has no choice! I have leverage over her; her mother is in my hands." He leaned forward, his lips curling into a satisfied smirk. "She'll do anything to keep her mother safe.""Not only that, she is also good in bed." He winked at Tyler. Tyler threw his face away, remembering our fleeting moment of romance.However, I felt my world collapse upside down. The breath in my throat ceased for a moment and I almost choked, my body locked in place as the weight of his words crashed

NORA'S POVTyler's hand wrapped around my wrist as he pulled me away from the crowd of elders. Their stares burned into my back, but I had no strength left to care what they thought of me.He led me through a marble hallway that seemed to stretch forever. My feet ached with each step, but I forced myself to keep up with his long strides. The walls were lined with expensive art that I could barely make out in my unreliable vision.We stopped at a heavy wooden door. Tyler pushed it open and gestured for me to enter. I hesitated, before stepping into what appeared to be his private study.The room smelled of leather and cedar. Dark bookshelves lined the walls, filled with volumes I would never have time to read. A massive desk was in the center, polished to a mirror shine.Tyler walked to the desk and dropped a folder he had been holding. The same contract Landon had signed. My stomach twisted into knots as he laid it flat on the surface between us."Sit," he commanded, his voice leaving

NORA'S POVI could not let her walk away. Not after what she had just said. I hurried out of the room, my feet moving before my mind could catch up."Wait!" I called out, my voice echoing down the empty hallway.Lily stopped but did not turn around. Her shoulders tensed like she was bracing herself for something painful.I caught up to her, slightly out of breath. "Please. You cannot just say something like that and leave."She glanced over her shoulder, her eyes darting left and right. "I should not have said anything.""But you did." I stepped closer, lowering my voice. "Who are you talking about? Who do I look like?"Lily's face crumpled with worry. She looked like she wanted to run, but something kept her rooted in place. "Not here," she whispered.She grabbed my wrist and pulled me down the corridor. We turned a corner and she pushed open a door I had not noticed before. The room inside was small and dark, filled with cleaning supplies and old furniture.Lily shut the door behind

TYLER'S POVI stood in the hallway outside Nora's room, my fist clenched at my side. The black rose and the note. Someone had been in her room without my knowledge.That could not happen. Not in my house. Not under my watch.I turned and walked down the stairs, my footsteps heavy on the marble. The elders would be waiting in the meeting room. They always waited when something unexpected happened.And bringing Nora home had been very unexpected.I pushed open the doors to the private meeting room. Five faces turned toward me. The gang elders. Men and women who had served my family for decades.Adrian sat at the head of the table, his fingers steepled under his chin. He was the oldest and the most cunning. Nothing escaped his notice."Tyler." He nodded at me. "We need to talk."I closed the doors behind me and took my seat. "About what?""About the woman you brought home." Clara leaned forward, her sharp eyes studying my face. "You called her your wife.""That is correct.""Since when d
