All Chapters of HER INSECURITY, MY TEMPTATION--MAFIA : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

MatveiLove. Marriage. Family.These are the three things I’ve despised my whole life, the three things I swore I would never let trap me. Yet here I am, sitting like a king, actually pleased that a complete nobody agreed to sign my marriage contract. Oh my Hell!, I can already picture my father’s expression right now. I defied his biggest demand, to marry the daughter of a Sicilian mafia clan to secure our alliance, and instead chose a commoner. The satisfaction I feel today is unreal.Never did I imagine I’d ever be this happy about marrying a stranger I barely even know, just to spite my father.My door opened without a knock, and I knew it was Geal, my most trusted person, who would dare to fling my door open without knocking, so I did not pay attention to him. I kept my gaze fixed on the message my secretary sent me about the contract marriage.“Are you smiling?!” Geal asked, a smirk tugging at his face. “Yes,” I said, smiling wider, dropping my phone and fixing my gaze on him.

AraceliI clenched my fists, my stomach felt dipped, and my head ached. I was feeling different things I had never felt before. I felt anger, rage, and hatred for my soon-to-be husband. For the first time in my life, I was so angry and mad at someone.I turned and walked toward the door to leave, but a guard stopped me.“Mr. Matvei Ozlov wants to see you, ma’am.”I turned and saw him standing up and walking into another room. I followed him into the room. His back was facing me.“What is your name?!” His deep voice filled the room.“Araceli,” I answered with my head lowered. I didn’t feel anger anymore, I didn’t feel that rage I felt two minutes ago. It just disappeared.“Good. Now join the party and act like my wife-to-be.” He slowly turned to me and walked past me without looking at me. I’m not sure he even glanced at me for a second.I started to feel rage boiling inside me, so I slowly walked outside the room and saw Sonia waiting out there for me. She held my hands and led me to

Araceli“Give me my phone.” His voice startled me.I turned slowly, tears streaking my cheeks, my chest pounding so loud I could feel it in my ears. I wasn’t thinking straight anymore. I hurled his phone at him. “Why is she calling you?!” I yelled, my voice trembling with rage.He caught it, sending me a deathly glare that made me shiver, yet I held my ground. He took a step towards me, and I stepped back due to the fear rising within me, but my anger overcame it.“You go ahead and cheat on me with my sister, and then you lie to me. And now she’s calling you!” I yelled at him.“Don’t you ever raise your voice at me,” he growled.“I will, and you will explain why you cheated on me.” The words tumbled out too fast, surprising even me. I had never been this angry; I had never spoken to anyone like this before.He let out a bitter laugh, more a growl than amusement. “You forget very fast. Did you read the contract you signed? In it, I can be with whoever I want, and you are to stay quiet

MatveiI hated marriage and the whole idea of having someone in your life. But I was obsessed with humiliating my father, and somehow I ended up with the most disrespectful person I’ve ever met in my whole fucking life. I’ve met disrespectful people before—but they didn’t live longer than two minutes after that.I should murder Sonia for this fucking mistake, but Geal would chew me alive, ranting and spitting shit everywhere—especially since he hasn’t fucked her yet. So I’ll give her the grace to live.But she’ll be punished for this mistake. I said a fucking submissive girl, not a dangerous, curvy bitch with dark brown hair that falls down her back and stops right at her beautiful curves. Not big, sexy brown eyes with long natural lashes that make her look like a fucking cartoon character designed to ruin men.She was designed to ruin me; she’s my temptation.Fuck. My eyes trace her body too much. And every time her anger and disrespect hit me, I snap and remind her exactly who the f

AraceliMy eyes widened at what his mother had just said about her own son. I blinked rapidly as I turned away, my vision blurring. I never knew words alone could make someone feel this dizzy.“H-he… he killed his brother?” I whispered, my voice shaking as I pressed my fingers to my temples.“Yes, he did,” she replied calmly, not pausing or softening her tone even when she saw how uncomfortable I was. “Hurting you would be normal for him, Araceli.”My body started to tremble as memories rushed back—the gardener’s blood splashing my face, the way Matvei killed him without hesitation, without even blinking. He had acted like it was nothing. Like it was normal. He could hurt me just as easily. He had already shown me that.The room began to spin. My legs felt weak, and just as I started to lose my balance, a familiar arm wrapped around me and pulled me close against his solid chest.“Are you okay?!” he asked, worry lacing his voice. Then his tone snapped, sharp and furious. “What did yo
