The Mafia Heir: His Forbidden Queen의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

Celine Montgomery POVFive years have passed. I don’t even remember the last time I felt weak. I don’t remember the girl I used to be. But in all these years, I have never forgotten that night. I never forgot the blood or the way my family was destroyed.I am Celine Montgomery. Or, as the world knows me, Celine Joseph. I am an American singer. Thanks to my voice and my looks, I became a rising star fast. I am on every TV show. I am the girl everyone wants to know.My career started two years ago. I’ve released two albums so far. The first one was last year. The second was a duet album with the famous superstar Enzo Romano. It came out just three months ago and it is everywhere.Truth is, Michael discovered my voice. He caught me singing in the shower when he burst into my room looking for me. He didn’t just give me a home and become my family. He turned me into a fighter. Nobody would believe that behind these soft hands and this pretty face is a girl who can crush bones.I don’t care

Celine Montgomery PovThe lights were blinding. The sound of the crowd clapping filled the room with so much energy. Backstage, I was busy changing my clothes, putting on a little makeup, and fixing my hair. I wasn’t used to high heels, but I had to wear them today.Still, the height difference between me and Enzo didn’t bother me at all. I never cared about what other people think is perfect. I accept myself just the way I am. Besides, who needs perfection in a world where only the strongest survive?When we stepped onto the stage, the welcome was huge. I stood beside him, waving to the crowd with a confident smile. Most of the questions were about our music tour: where we went, the parties we attended, and the songs we released. The interview was going smoothly until that one question came up. The one I knew would cause trouble."Enzo, tell us something we don’t know about Celine!" the host asked with a sneaky grin.I looked at Enzo, feeling suspicious. He pretended to think for a s

Celine Montgomery POVAfter the interview, everyone headed to the stage in New York Square where the celebrations would be held. They had to train hard to be at their best on the big day, except for the day before the event, which was reserved for rest and full recovery.I sat cross legged on the floor, wiping the sweat off my forehead. I let out a deep breath, then a tired groan, and dropped my body backward, lying flat on the ground. I placed my hands on my stomach and closed my eyes, completely giving in."Ugh… I’m so exhausted."I heard a male voice clear his throat near me, followed by a deep, familiar sound."Hey, little one."I did not need to open my eyes to know who it was. I just sighed."Don’t call me little, Enzo."Enzo laughed as he sat beside me and poked my side with his finger, making me twitch."This is the first time I’ve seen you this worn out."I slowly opened my eyes and looked at him with a tired stare."You jinxed me. Those sneaky eyes of yours drained my energy

Celine Montgomery POVAfter training ended, I took a quick shower to ease the exhaustion in my body. The cold water did not calm my restless mind, but it helped relax my sore muscles a little. I dried my hair and let it fall freely over my shoulders, then stared at my reflection in the mirror.My lips were dry, as always in winter. I sighed in frustration before putting on a loose pink pajama set decorated with white clouds, with a shiny pink ribbon tied around the waist of the pants. I laughed at myself. I looked way more childish than I should.But it was fine. All I needed right now was sleep. Tomorrow would be long, and I needed all my energy. There was too much waiting for me.I picked up my phone and called Mike, just to check on him. I knew he was burning with anger, especially after he had to leave suddenly because of something important related to his work.While I was talking to Mike, I heard a knock on my room door.I sighed softly. "Looks like I have to go, Mike. Someone i

Celine Montgomery POVI stepped out of my room at the exact same moment Enzo stepped out of his.All morning, I kept reminding myself that I had to ignore what happened last night. Just like I ignored what happened in the locker room before. It did not matter how different it was this time. How deeper it felt. I would get over it.I still had three more months working with him on our world tour. I could not let my feelings take control. We were celebrities. Our lives were always under a microscope. If anyone noticed tension or a shift between us, questions would explode everywhere.So I had to be strong.I had to wear the mask of indifference. Even backstage.I had to survive.But when my eyes met his, the wall I had built around my heart shook. Cracked.I took a deep breath and forced a smile. Wide. Fake. Perfect."Good morning." I tried to sound cheerful, like always."Good morning, Celine…" he said slowly, clearly confused."Come on, we should not be late. Adam will be furious if w
