All Chapters of Mafia's Forbidden Desires: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

My lips curled in a smile as I calmly nodded my head. "If that’s your choice, I am happy to help. I can bathe you myself."Her cheeks flushed with anger and embarrassment, but I didn’t wait for her response. I walked out of the bathroom and closed the door behind me. I looked around her room, and it was still the same as a few years ago. Walking to the table drawer, I picked up her childhood picture. It was when she first went to preschool with her parents. She looked bubbly with big blue eyes. My gaze paused on the picture for a moment longer than necessary.A few minutes later, Valerie walked back into the bedroom. She trembled a little, and her veins popped on her forehead, making me feel amused. I murmured to myself. ‘Easy Wife.’Her gaze lingered on the bed where a beautiful white wedding dress had been laid out for her, along with shining diamond jewelry and other accessories. But her face showed no signs of joy. It looked more she wanted to destroy the dress with her bare hands

Raven Blackwood’s POV:She looked at me with so much hate in her eyes. Valerie. She was My Wife now.I watched her stand up after I kissed her. She glared at me like she wanted to burn me with her eyes. “Never,” she said in a sure tone. It didn’t matter to her that we were married now. It didn’t matter that she had said ‘I do’ in front of everyone.She hated me. I could see it. Feel it. But I didn’t mind. Hate was better than her silence. Better than her ignoring me. Hate meant she still felt something, even if it wasn’t love.“You’ll change your mind,” I said softly to myself.She stood there with hard breathing, her eyes were full of fire. I had seen many people break before. I had watched strong men fall in front of me. But Valerie… she was different. She burned instead of breaking.I turned away and walked upstairs, not because I wanted to leave, but because I knew she needed a moment alone. I had learned one thing about her in the last years, that she fights harder when cornered.

I chuckled. “Do I look like one?”Maxim Sokolov’s expression chilled. His body tensed. He knew who he was dealing with. He knew he needed my help if he was here. He knew there was no one else who could help me. He knew if he dared to do anything here, he would only get bloodshed. He remained silent. I waited. I looked at the time, it was ten thirty. I wondered what my pretty little Wife was doing at home? Did she miss me? Did she have the breakfast I made for her in the morning?“Fine.” I heard his response.I looked up at him.“Fine.” He repeated. “I will send you the papers.”“Good,” I replied happily. “I will let you know her location in three days.”“Three days?” He emphasised in a loud voice.“Yes.”“Remember three days, Blackwood.” He warned and walked out of my office. A short while later… I called Eliot to my office.He came in just the next second. I gestured for him to sit across my chair. Eliot took his seat, waiting for my next instruction.I looked out of the window at t

His eyes didn’t move from mine. It was like he was trying to read every thought I was trying to bury inside me. I wanted to twist my body, to break free, but his presence wrapped around me like a chain.He moved closer, and his knee touched against my thigh. The contact was for a second only, but my whole body reacted like it was a spark.I stiffened. I hated that he could feel it.“Still pretending?” he asked softly. His voice was almost kind… and that made it worse.I shook my head. “I’m not…”I just spoke when he moved again. The mattress dipped a little, and his leg pressed just enough for me to feel his weight and his strength.My heart beat so loud, I was sure he could hear it.“Valerie,” he said my name like it was something precious for him to hold on. “You’re trembling.”I wanted to scream at him to move away, but my throat felt tight. His close distance made my every thought crumble. His warmth rushed against my bare skin. “Why are you doing this?” I asked.He tilted his hea

Valerie Thorne’s POV:Three days passed. I didn’t see him.The servants at the house came and did their work, and rarely spoke to me. They didn’t even dare to make any eye contact with me. After they left, the house remained vacant with just me inside.I glanced at the time, it was six in the evening, and looked out at the sky. The sun was slowly setting, and the sky looked beautiful in the shades of orange and purple. I walked towards the yard, having nothing else to do.Outside, the evening breeze was gentle, easing the feeling of being trapped here. The sun’s warmth was tender on my skin. I closed my eyes, feeling the rare moment of peace in my life.In the past three days, I tried calling Elara and Trance, but their phone kept going unreachable. I wondered if everything was fine with them. But a part of me couldn’t help but worry for them. And another part of me was scared, if Raven had done anything scary to them as well. Suddenly, a shiver ran down my spine, and the air around
