Semua Bab He’s a Mafia, He’s a Werewolf, and He’s My Boss: Bab 101 - Bab 105

ADAM The words slipped out before I could stop them. “Don’t leave.” Silence followed heavy, dangerous silence. The kind that presses in on your chest and makes you aware of every breath you take. Pain coiled tight in my ribs, sudden and sharp, like something inside me had snapped. I clenched my jaw and stared up at the ceiling, fixing my eyes on a crack in the plaster as if it had personally betrayed me. My heart slammed violently against my chest, each beat too loud, too fast. I was certain Laura could hear it. Certain she could feel it. Get a grip. I shut my eyes hard, my lashes damp. This wasn’t how this was supposed to go. None of it was part of the plan. Still, my gaze drifted back to her, pulled by something stronger than logic. She stood a few steps away from the bed, unmoving, as though afraid any sudden motion would shatter me. Light from the window brushed against her hair, catching in soft strands, outlining the worry she didn’t bother to hide. Her hands were clenche

My assistant’s voice wavered just the faintest tremor but enough to betray the unease I wanted him to hide.“Boss… Adam’s back in Italy.”I didn’t flinch. My fingers tightened around the pen on the table until the wood creaked. “How do you know?” I asked, my voice controlled, smooth, but every muscle in my body tensed like a coiled spring.“He… he just landed at the airport,” he stammered. I smirked, a cold, slow curve of satisfaction, and cut the call before he could add more.Adam. My oldest rival. My bitterest enemy. Months had passed since he left or so I thought. Months in which business had flourished, my name whispered with respect, my influence unchallenged. Other families bowed. They feared me. They respected me.And I had imagined peace.
